[0001] This utility model relates to the field of exterior rearview mirror bracket processing, and in particular to an electronic exterior rearview mirror bracket structure with z-plane axis rotation function. Background Technology
[0002] As automotive electronics become increasingly sophisticated, eliminating physical controls and mechanical structures has become the mainstream. As a result, modern vehicles are replacing physical buttons with touch and voice controls, mechanical steering with steer-by-wire, and traditional optical rearview mirrors with electronic side mirrors.
[0003] The existing electronic exterior rearview mirror bracket structure allows the electronic exterior rearview mirror to be folded up by rotating along the Z-axis when not in use. However, compared to traditional optical exterior rearview mirrors, electronic exterior rearview mirrors have more components and a more complex structure. During daily driving, vehicle bumps can easily damage the electronic exterior rearview mirrors. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0022] Working principle: A first connector 2 is set at the bottom of the outer casing 1, and a component box 3 is set inside the first connector 2. Multiple springs 4 are set between the component box 3 and the base plate 5. When the vehicle is in motion, the force on the outer casing 1 due to bumps is weakened by the multiple springs 4, which prevents the electronic rearview mirror from being easily damaged due to bumps during vehicle operation. During daily use, when the vehicle is started, the first motor 7 drives the two first gears 8 to rotate, causing the electronic rearview mirror to rotate along the Z-axis and unfold for operation. A second motor 15 is set inside the outer casing 1, which drives the two second gears 16 to rotate. When the front second gear 16 rotates, it drives the rack 14 set behind the lens cover 12. The upper and lower ends of the lens cover 12 are provided with connecting blocks 13 that are slidably connected to the outer casing 1, so that the lens cover 12 can move left and right. Thus, when the car is turned off, the electronic rearview mirror is retracted by the second motor 15, and the lens cover 12 is pushed to cover the camera 11, preventing the camera 11 from accumulating dust and affecting its use when the vehicle is parked for a long time.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2This utility model provides an embodiment of an electronic rearview mirror bracket structure with z-plane axis rotation function, including a housing 1. A camera 11 is fixedly connected to the left side of the housing 1, and a first connector 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the housing 1. A second connector 6 is provided at the bottom of the first connector 2. A first motor 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the second connector 6. A second connecting rod 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 7. A first gear 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the second connecting rod 10. A first connecting rod 9 is provided to the left side of the first gear 8. The first gear 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first connecting rod 9. A component box 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the first connector 2. A uniformly distributed spring 4 is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the component box 3. A base plate 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring 4. A dustproof component is provided on the front side of the housing 1 for daily dust protection of the camera 11.
[0024] Specifically, by setting a first connector 2 at the bottom of the outer casing 1, setting a component box 3 inside the first connector 2, and setting multiple springs 4 between the component box 3 and the base plate 5, when the vehicle is in motion, when the outer casing 1 vibrates due to bumps, the force is weakened by the multiple springs 4, thus preventing the electronic rearview mirror from being easily damaged due to bumps during vehicle operation. In daily use, when the vehicle is started, the first motor 7 drives the two first gears 8 to rotate, causing the electronic rearview mirror to rotate along the Z-axis and unfold for operation.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 The dustproof component includes a second motor 15, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 1. A second gear 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 15. A third connecting rod 17 is provided on the front side of the second gear 16.

[0026] Specifically, a second motor 15 is installed inside the outer casing 1. The second motor 15 drives two second gears 16 to rotate. When the front second gear 16 rotates, it drives the rack 14 located on the rear side of the lens cover 12. Both the upper and lower ends of the lens cover 12 are provided with connecting blocks 13 that are slidably connected to the outer casing 1, so that the lens cover 12 can move left and right. In this way, when the car is turned off, the electronic rearview mirror is retracted under the drive of the second motor 15, and the lens cover 12 is pushed to cover the camera 11, so as to prevent the camera 11 from accumulating dust and affecting its use when the car is parked for a long time.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 The top and bottom of the outer casing 1 are provided with first grooves 18, and the connecting block 13 is slidably connected to the first grooves 18.

[0032] Specifically, while the two first gears 8 are rotating, since the first connecting rod 9 where the right first gear 8 is located is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 1, while the second connecting rod 10 where the left first gear 8 is located is fixed to the inner wall of the outer shell 1, when the first motor 7 rotates, the second connecting rod 10 drives the entire outer shell 1 to rotate around the first motor 7.
[0033] Reference Figure 3 The front second gear 16 and the rear second gear 16 are meshed together.
[0034] Specifically, the rear second gear 16 is driven by the second motor 15, while the front second gear 16 is connected to the rear second gear 16 through meshing and also rotates.
[0035] Reference Figure 3 A rack 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second groove 19, and the second gear 16 on the front side is meshed with the rack 14.
[0036] Specifically, as the second gear 16 rotates, the lens cover 12 can move along with the rotation of the second gear 16 due to the rack 14 provided on the lens cover 12 on the front side of the housing 1.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 The top of the first connecting rod 9 passes through the base plate 5 and the component box 3 in sequence.
[0038] Specifically, the top of the first connecting rod 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 1, the bottom is fixedly connected to the first motor 7, and the middle part passes through the base plate 5 and the component box 3.
