Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic exterior rearview mirror technology, and in particular to an electronic exterior rearview mirror that is easy to assemble. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional optical rearview mirrors have problems such as large blind spots and susceptibility to external interference, especially in large vehicles such as trucks, where the blind spot problem is particularly prominent. Therefore, electronic exterior rearview mirrors are an effective solution.

[0003] Electronic exterior rearview mirrors are a new technology that replaces traditional optical rearview mirrors by combining cameras and displays. They have gradually emerged in the automotive industry in recent years. They use external cameras to capture real-time images of the vehicle's surroundings, and after image processing, display the images on a screen inside the vehicle.

[0004] Currently, some drivers of large vehicles will install additional rearview mirrors on the original rearview mirror mounting brackets to assist in observation. However, these rearview mirrors are still subject to interference from external factors, resulting in mirror reflection, contamination, etc., and the auxiliary effect is relatively weak. Furthermore, some existing electronic exterior rearview mirrors can only be paired with specific vehicles and cannot be effectively and conveniently installed on the rearview mirror brackets of large vehicles. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an electronic exterior rearview mirror that is easy to install. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an electronic exterior rearview mirror that is easy to assemble.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An easy-to-assemble electronic exterior rearview mirror includes a rearview mirror body, a mounting base is fixedly installed on the bottom of the rearview mirror body, and a locking cover is rotatably installed on one side of the mounting base via a pin. The locking cover and the mounting base are connected to form a circular structure.

[0008] A pair of pins are installed at one end of the locking cover. A rubber collar is provided in the middle of the pins, and a threaded hole is opened in the middle of the pins. When the locking cover is connected to the mounting base, the pins are inserted into the mating holes opened on the outer wall of the mounting base.

[0009] A knob is rotatably mounted on one side of the outer wall of the mounting base. A screw is installed inside the knob and extends into the mating hole. The screw and the insert are connected by a threaded connection mechanism.

[0010] The rearview mirror body is electrically connected to the display module via a wire.

[0011] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, a support base is mounted on the side of the rearview mirror body, and a fork is provided in the middle of the support base.

[0012] In addition, a preferred structure is that the inner walls of both the locking cover and the mounting base are provided with rubber pads.

[0013] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, the bottom of the rubber collar is flared, so that when the insert is connected to the mating hole, the rubber collar is pressed against the inner wall of the mating hole.

[0014] In addition, a preferred structure is that a rubber ring is provided at the rotatable connection between the knob and the mounting base, so that when the knob is rotated, the rubber ring and the knob are in rubbing contact.

[0015] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, the diameter of the mating hole is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the insert post.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] In this invention, the bottom of the rearview mirror body is provided with a mounting base and a locking cover to clamp and connect the mounting bracket. At the same time, by rotating the knob, the locking cover can be further deflected through the threaded connection to improve the tightness of the connection with the mounting bracket. In addition, the fork bar can realize a double limiting structure. The assembly process does not require the use of specified tools and fasteners, which significantly improves the assembly efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 An easy-to-assemble electronic exterior rearview mirror includes a rearview mirror body 1, a mounting base 2 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the rearview mirror body 1, and a locking cover 3 is rotatably installed on one side of the mounting base 2 via a pin. The locking cover 3 and the mounting base 2 are connected to form a circular structure.

[0026] A pair of inserts 31 are installed at one end of the locking cover 3. A rubber collar 33 is provided in the middle of the insert 31. A threaded hole 32 is opened in the middle of the insert 31. When the locking cover 3 is connected to the mounting base 2, the insert 31 is inserted into the mating hole 21 opened on the outer wall of the mounting base 2.

[0027] A knob 7 is rotatably mounted on one side of the outer wall of the mounting base 2. A screw 72 is installed inside the knob 7. The screw 72 extends into the mating hole 21. The screw 72 and the insert 31 are threaded connection mechanisms.

[0028] The rearview mirror body 1 is electrically connected to the display module 8 via a wire. The display module 8 is installed in the vehicle's driver's cabin and is connected via a wire to realize information transmission of the rearview mirror body 1.

[0029] A support base 4 is installed on the side of the rearview mirror body 1, and a fork 5 is provided in the middle of the support base 4. One end of the fork 5 is semi-circular.

[0030] Both the locking cover 3 and the mounting base 2 are equipped with rubber pads 6 on their inner walls, which provide squeezing friction during installation.

[0031] The bottom of the rubber collar 33 is flared, with the wide end facing down. When the insertion post 31 is connected to the mating hole 21, the rubber collar 33 is pressed against the inner wall of the mating hole 21.

[0032] A rubber ring 71 is provided at the rotational connection between the knob 7 and the mounting base 2. When the knob 7 rotates, the rubber ring 71 and the knob 7 are pressed and rubbed together to generate rotational damping force.

[0033] The diameter of the mating hole 21 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the insert 31 to accommodate the offset caused by the rotational movement of the insert 31.

[0034] In this embodiment, the fork 5 on one side of the rearview mirror body 1 is aligned and snapped onto the vertical rod of the vehicle mounting bracket 9. At the same time, it moves down the rod to fit the mounting seat 2 at the bottom of the rearview mirror body 1 onto the horizontal rod of the mounting bracket 9. Then, the locking cover 3 is rotated to make the insert 31 engage with the docking hole 21 in the middle of the mounting seat 2. The insert 31 enters the docking hole 21, and the rubber collar 33 is subjected to a squeezing force to generate friction, ensuring installation stability.

[0035] Next, manually rotate knob 7 to drive screw 72 to rotate. To ensure installation efficiency, press locking cover 3 again to drive insertion post 31 to move, ensuring that it can contact the end of screw 72. When screw 72 rotates, it will connect to threaded hole 32 in the middle of insertion post 31 through thread, and tighten insertion post 31 under the action of thread rotation, causing locking cover 3 to further clamp mounting bracket 9 to achieve assembly.

[0036] The entire assembly process of the rearview mirror body 1 requires no fasteners or matching tools; the locking connection can be achieved simply by rotating the knob 7, which significantly improves assembly efficiency.

[0037] When the locking cover 3 is rotated and connected to the mounting base 2 to form a ring, the insert 31 and the screw 72 are coaxial. Even if there is a certain angular deviation in actual application, it is still within the reasonable range of threaded connection.

[0038] The rearview mirror body 1, i.e. the electronic exterior rearview mirror, and the specific internal components not explained in detail above are all common knowledge to those skilled in the art.

[0039] It should be noted that the display module 8 is a display screen used to realize the information output of the electronic rearview mirror. The installation and wiring connection of the display module 8 are common knowledge to those skilled in the art.

[0040] Among them, mounting bracket 9 is specifically the original rearview mirror mounting bracket at the front driver's seat of the vehicle, which is C-shaped in general.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
