Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, provided they do not affect the effectiveness or purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed herein. Furthermore, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of this invention.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a preferred embodiment of a car interior rearview mirror bracket is illustrated, comprising: a bracket base 1, a bracket rod 2, a connecting rod 12, and a ball joint.

[0024] Support rod 2 has a support base 1 and a connecting rod 12 installed at both ends respectively; a ball head has a mounting hole for mounting the connecting rod 12; the ball head includes a front semi-circular ball head 3 and a rear semi-circular ball head 4, the front semi-circular ball head 3 has a front through hole, and the rear semi-circular ball head 4 has a rear through hole, the front through hole and the rear through hole together forming the mounting hole. The front semi-circular ball head 3 is located close to the support rod 2, and one end of the rear semi-circular ball head 4 is installed at one end of the front semi-circular ball head 3. The outer wall of the front semi-circular ball head 3 is provided with a plurality of first ribs 5, and the plurality of first ribs 5 are all along the front semi-circular ball head 3. The components are arranged in a circumferential manner, with several first ribs 5 arranged parallel to each other. A first clearance groove 6 is formed between each pair of adjacent first ribs 5. Several second ribs 7 are provided on the outer wall of the rear hemisphere 4. The several second ribs 7 are arranged around the rear hemisphere 4 with the edge of the rear through hole as the endpoint. Each second rib 7 is arranged in a radial direction along the rear hemisphere 4. A second clearance groove 8 is formed between each pair of adjacent second ribs 7. The support base 1, support rod 2, connecting rod 12, front hemisphere 3 and rear hemisphere 4 are all made of PPS-GF30 material.

[0025] In actual use, the ball head is used to install, fix, and adjust the angle of the bracket, which is convenient and quick. The first ribs 5 on the front semi-circular ball head 3 and the second ribs 7 on the rear semi-circular ball head 4 reduce the weight of the ball head while ensuring the overall strength of the ball head. The bracket base 1, bracket rod 2, connecting rod 12, front semi-circular ball head 3 and rear semi-circular ball head 4 are all made of PPS-GF30 material, which ensures the overall strength of the bracket and reduces the overall weight and production cost of the bracket.

[0026] Based on the above, this utility model also has the following embodiments:

[0027] Furthermore, in a car rearview mirror bracket, a dovetail groove 9 is formed at the other end of the bracket base 1. The dovetail groove 9 is used for mounting the bracket base 1.

[0028] Furthermore, a rearview mirror bracket for automobiles further includes: a fastening screw 10 and a brass insert 11. One end of the bracket base 1 has a first fixing hole, and one end of the bracket rod 2 has a second fixing hole. One end of the fastening screw 10 passes through the second fixing hole and is installed in the first fixing hole. The brass insert 11 is fitted onto the outer wall of the fastening screw 10. Furthermore, the brass insert 11 is embedded in the bracket base 1 to increase the mechanical strength when the bracket base 1 and the fastening screw 10 are connected.

[0029] Furthermore, in a car rearview mirror bracket, one end of the bracket rod 2 has an outwardly extending arc edge formed on its outer wall, and a second fixing hole is formed on the arc edge. Furthermore, the arc edge facilitates the installation of the bracket rod 2.

[0030] Furthermore, a car interior rearview mirror bracket, wherein the bracket rod 2 has a bent portion, the included angle of the bent portion being an obtuse angle.

[0031] Furthermore, in a car rearview mirror bracket, the connection between the front semi-circular ball joint 3 and the rear semi-circular ball joint 4 is planar. Further, the planar connection between the front semi-circular ball joint 3 and the rear semi-circular ball joint 4 employs a clearance structure to prevent step differences and burrs from forming after injection molding of the front semi-circular ball joint 3 and the rear semi-circular ball joint 4, thereby affecting the movement of the ball joints.

[0032] Furthermore, a car interior rearview mirror bracket is provided, wherein the outer diameter of one end of the bracket rod 2 gradually decreases from the outer diameter of the other end.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the implementation method and protection scope of the present utility model.
