Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rearview mirror technology, and more specifically, to a commercial vehicle injection-molded rearview mirror with a warning light. Background Technology
[0002] Commercial vehicle injection-molded rearview mirrors with integrated warning lights refer to commercial vehicle rearview mirrors with a one-piece injection-molded shell that integrates side warning lights (such as turn signals and blind spot monitoring lights) into the mirror body. It is a key safety component that combines providing a field of vision, safety warnings, regulatory compliance, and aerodynamic design.
[0003] When a driver turns on a dimly lit or dark road, even with the headlights and taillights on, the headlights illuminate in a horizontal straight line, making it impossible for the driver to see the ground conditions in the direction of the turn and the surrounding environment of the vehicle. The poor visibility, especially when there are many pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles or many items parked on the roadside, makes collisions and scratches very easy to occur. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a commercial vehicle injection-molded rearview mirror with warning lights, which has the advantage of timely reminders to observe road conditions.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a commercial vehicle injection-molded rearview mirror with a warning light, comprising: a housing, wherein a rearview mirror is disposed inside the housing, a connecting component is fixedly installed on the outer side of the housing, a connecting wire is disposed inside the connecting component, the end of the connecting wire away from the vehicle body is electrically connected to a component inside the rearview mirror, and an infrared radar is fixedly installed in front of the connecting component; an illumination port, wherein the illumination port is located inside the housing, a support block is fixedly installed inside the housing, a connecting block is fixedly installed on the outer side of the support block, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the connecting block, and a reflective lens is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft.
[0006] The effect of adopting the above technical solution is as follows: when a vehicle is in motion and needs to change lanes, the turn signal is first turned on. When a vehicle is in the blind spot and cannot be seen, the infrared radar detects nearby vehicles. The detected vehicle information is transmitted to the controller, and the LED warning light is turned on. The light shines on the surface of the reflector and is reflected into the driver's eyes, thus reminding the driver to drive carefully and delay changing lanes, thereby increasing driving safety and preventing collisions.

[0008] The effect of adopting the above technical solution is that when different drivers are driving, the angle of reflection of the reflector needs to be adjusted because the drivers' heights are not the same. At this time, the starter motor drives the drive gear to rotate through the output shaft. The drive gear will mesh with the driven gear, and the driven gear will drive the rotating shaft to rotate through the connecting block, thereby slightly adjusting the angle of the reflector to accommodate drivers of different heights.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a rain shield is fixedly installed on the outer side of the outer shell, a controller is fixedly installed on the bottom of the rain shield, and an LED warning light is electrically connected to the bottom of the controller.
[0010] The effect of adopting the above technical solution is that activating the controller illuminates the LED warning light, and the light is reflected by the reflective lens to remind the driver, thereby increasing the driver's vigilance.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rain shield is located at the junction of the outer shell and the connecting component, and the rain shield is flat overall.
[0012] The effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the main function of the rain shield is to effectively block the rainwater from entering the interior of the casing and affecting the overall circuitry, since the irradiation port is open and will get wet on rainy days.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the surface of the rain shield is provided with drainage grooves, and there are three drainage grooves, all of which are located at the upper end of the rain shield.
[0014] The effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the main function of the three drainage channels is to drain rainwater in a timely manner when it rains, prevent rainwater from accumulating above the rain shield, and prevent possible subsequent corrosion.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the end of the connecting component away from the outer shell is fixedly connected to the vehicle body, and the interior of the connecting component is hollow.
[0016] The effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the main function of the connecting component is to keep the internal connecting wires connected in series while keeping the outer shell and the vehicle body connected and fixed, so as to realize the normal operation of the circuit.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the reflective lens is generally arc-shaped and is located inside the outer shell.
[0018] The effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the main function of the reflector is to reflect the light source emitted by the LED warning light, thereby making it easier for the driver to quickly detect the situation behind and reducing the danger of changing lanes.
[0019] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a rotating component is connected inside the outer shell, and the rotating component is connected to the rearview mirror, the surface of which has a heating component.
[0020] The effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the rearview mirror can be adjusted in angle by rotating the component, which makes it convenient for the driver to adjust according to their own height, while the heating component can effectively solve the fogging on the surface of the lens and improve clarity.

The detected signal is transmitted to the controller 17 and the LED warning light 18 is turned on. When the LED warning light 18 is turned on, the light shines on the surface of the reflector 10 and is reflected into the driver's eyes, thereby reminding the driver to drive carefully and delay changing lanes, thus increasing driving safety and preventing collisions.

[0031] The effect of adopting the above technical solution is that when different drivers are driving, the angle of reflection of the reflector 10 needs to be adjusted because the drivers' heights are not the same. At this time, the starter motor 12 drives the drive gear 14 to rotate through the output shaft 13. The drive gear 14 will mesh with the driven gear 15, and the driven gear 15 will drive the rotating shaft 9 to rotate through the connecting block 8, thereby slightly adjusting the angle of the reflector 10 to accommodate drivers of different heights.
[0032] Among them, a rain shield 16 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the outer shell 1, a controller 17 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the rain shield 16, and an LED warning light 18 is electrically connected to the bottom of the controller 17.
[0033] The effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the controller 17 is activated to illuminate the LED warning light 18, and the light is reflected by the reflective lens 10 to remind the driver, thereby improving the driver's vigilance.
[0034] The rain shield 16 is located at the junction of the outer shell 1 and the connecting component 3, and the rain shield 16 is flat.
[0035] The effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the main function of the rain shield 16 is to effectively block the rainwater from entering the interior of the outer casing 1 and affecting the overall circuit, since the irradiation port 5 is open and will get wet on rainy days.
[0036] The rain shield 16 has three drainage grooves 19 on its surface, all of which are located at the upper end of the rain shield 16.
[0037] The effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the main function of the three drainage channels 19 is to drain rainwater in time when it rains, prevent rainwater from accumulating above the rain shield 16, and prevent possible subsequent corrosion.

[0043] The effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the rearview mirror 2 can be adjusted in angle by rotating the component, which makes it convenient for the driver to adjust according to his own height. At the same time, the heating component can effectively solve the fogging on the surface of the lens and improve the clarity.
[0044] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0045] Firstly, a support block 7 is fixedly installed inside the outer casing 1, and a connecting block 8 is fixedly installed on the outside of the support block 7. A rotating shaft 9 is rotatably connected inside the connecting block 8, and a reflector 10 is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 9. When the vehicle needs to change lanes while driving, the turn signal is first turned on. When a vehicle is in the blind spot and cannot be seen, the infrared radar 6 detects nearby vehicles. The detected signal is transmitted to the controller 17, and the LED warning light 18 is turned on. When the LED warning light 18 is turned on, the light shines on the surface of the reflector 10 and is reflected into the driver's eyes, thereby reminding the driver to drive carefully and delay changing lanes, thus increasing driving safety and preventing collisions.
[0046] Secondly, an output shaft 13 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 12. A drive gear 14 is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft 13 away from the motor 12. A driven gear 15 meshes with the outside of the drive gear 14, and the driven gear 15 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 9. When different drivers drive, the angle of reflection of the reflector 10 needs to be adjusted because the drivers' heights are different. At this time, the starter motor 12 drives the drive gear 14 to rotate through the output shaft 13. The drive gear 14 will mesh with the driven gear 15, and the driven gear 15 will drive the rotating shaft 9 to rotate through the connecting block 8, thereby slightly adjusting the angle of the reflector 10 to accommodate drivers of different heights.
[0047] Finally, since a rain shield 16 is fixedly installed at the junction of the outer casing 1 and the connecting component 3, and the irradiation port 5 is open, it will get wet on rainy days. At this time, the rain shield 16 effectively blocks the rainwater and prevents the rainwater from entering the interior of the outer casing 1 and affecting the overall circuit.
