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 with a protective structure. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic rearview mirrors are intelligent devices that replace traditional optical rearview mirrors, consisting of an external camera and an in-vehicle display. Their field of view is more than three times larger than traditional rearview mirrors, significantly reducing blind spots when changing lanes or turning, and especially lowering accident rates in high-risk scenarios such as trucks turning right.

[0003] Currently, many residential communities have numerous open-air parking spaces with electronic side mirrors mounted on the exterior of vehicles. In extreme weather conditions such as hailstorms, parked vehicles are vulnerable to hail damage. The physical impact of falling hail poses a significant threat to these electronic side mirrors, causing deformation or even damage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for electronic side mirrors with active protection mechanisms. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an electronic exterior rearview mirror with a protective structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An electronic rearview mirror with a protective structure includes an electronic rearview mirror body and a protective plate. The electronic rearview mirror body has a camera cavity, and a camera assembly is disposed inside the camera cavity. A storage compartment is fixedly disposed on the top of the electronic rearview mirror body, and the protective plate is installed in the camera cavity or the storage compartment. A side plate is fixedly installed on one side of the protective plate, and adjustment cavities are opened inward on both sides of the side plate. Locking plates are movably disposed in the adjustment cavities, and multiple locking pins are installed outward on the locking plates. Locking cavities are also adapted to the corresponding locking pins in the camera cavity and the storage compartment.

[0007] In addition, a preferred structure is that the protective plate is provided with multiple guide grooves, and the camera cavity and the storage compartment are provided with guide components that are adapted to the guide grooves.

[0008] In addition, a preferred structure is that multiple anti-falling posts are fixedly installed behind the locking plate, and anti-falling components are fixedly installed at the ends of the anti-falling posts.

[0009] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, anti-fall-off cavities are adapted to be provided in the side plate for both the anti-fall-off column and the anti-fall-off component, and both the anti-fall-off column and the anti-fall-off component are adapted to be movable within the anti-fall-off cavity.

[0010] In addition, a preferred structure is that each side plate has a spring cavity on one side of the anti-detachment cavity, and a spring is installed outward in each spring cavity, and the other end of each spring is connected to the locking plate.

[0011] In addition, a preferred structure is that pinch plates are fixedly provided on the outer side of the locking plates, and anti-slip pads are laid on the pinch plates.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by the matching and locking between the locking plate and the locking cavity, the protective plate can be installed inside the camera cavity, thereby preventing hail from damaging the camera components.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-7 An electronic rearview mirror with a protective structure includes an electronic rearview mirror body 1 and a protective plate 2. The electronic rearview mirror body 1 has a camera cavity 11, and a camera assembly 12 is disposed within the camera cavity 11. A storage compartment 13 is fixedly disposed on the top of the electronic rearview mirror body 1, and the protective plate 2 is installed within either the camera cavity 11 or the storage compartment 13. A side plate 21 is fixedly installed on one side of the protective plate 2. Adjustment cavities 22 are formed inward on both sides of the side plate 21. Locking plates 3 are movably disposed within each adjustment cavity 22. Multiple locking pins 33 are installed outward on each locking plate 3, and corresponding locking cavities 14 are formed within both the camera cavity 11 and the storage compartment 13.

[0023] The protective plate 2 has multiple guide grooves 25, and both the camera cavity 11 and the storage compartment 13 are equipped with guide members 15 that are adapted to the guide grooves 25. The adaptation between the guide grooves 25 and the guide members 15 can improve the stability of the protective plate 2 during installation.

[0024] Multiple anti-detachment posts 32 are fixedly installed behind the locking plate 3, and anti-detachment components 321 are fixedly installed at the ends of the anti-detachment posts 32. Anti-detachment cavities 23 are adapted to be formed within the side plate 21 corresponding to the anti-detachment posts 32 and anti-detachment components 321, and the anti-detachment posts 32 and anti-detachment components 321 are adapted to move within the anti-detachment cavities 23. The inlet diameter of the anti-detachment cavity 23 is the same as the diameter of the anti-detachment post 32, and the inner diameter of the anti-detachment cavity 23 is the same as the diameter of the anti-detachment component 321, but the diameter of the anti-detachment component 321 is larger than the diameter of the anti-detachment post 32. This allows the anti-detachment component 231 to move stably within the anti-detachment cavity 23 without falling off.

[0025] Each side plate 21 has a spring cavity 24 on one side of the anti-detachment cavity 23. A spring 241 is installed outwardly within each spring cavity 24, and the other end of each spring 241 is connected to the locking plate 3. The spring 241 allows the locking plate 3 to be pushed outward, thus stably locking the locking pin 33 within the locking cavity 14. It is worth noting that the spring 241 is a high-strength, shock-resistant spring in the prior art; the vibrations from hail will not cause significant spring swaying, and minor spring swaying will not cause the locking pin 33 to detach.

[0026] Each locking plate 3 has a pinch plate 31 fixedly installed on its outer side, and each pinch plate 31 is covered with an anti-slip pad. The pinch plate 31 allows the user to easily adjust the position of the locking plates 3 on both sides.

[0027] In this embodiment, the electronic rearview mirror body 1 captures images through the camera component 12 to achieve image transmission. Its specific working structure and working method are existing technologies and do not fall under the technical problem of hail protection required in this technical solution. Therefore, they will not be described in detail in this utility model.

[0028] Furthermore, before the hailstorm, the user can press the pinch plate 31 towards the center to move the locking plates 3 on both sides towards the center, thereby causing the locking pin 33 to disengage from the locking cavity 14. At this time, the springs 241 are compressed, and the user can then pull the side plate 21 and the protective plate 2 out of the storage compartment 13.

[0029] The user can then insert the protective plate 2 into the camera cavity 11 from one side. When the protective plate 2 is fully inserted into the camera cavity 11, the locking pins 33 are aligned with the locking chambers 14 inside the camera cavity 11. At this point, the user only needs to release the pinch plates 31 on both sides, and the locking plate 3 and locking pins 33 will automatically reset and lock into the locking chambers 14 by the elastic force of the spring 241, thereby fixing the protective plate 2 and preventing hail from damaging the camera assembly 12.

[0030] Furthermore, after the hailstorm ends, the user simply needs to remove the protective plate 2 from the camera cavity 11 and insert it into the storage compartment 13 for storage. Since both the camera cavity 11 and the storage compartment 13 are equipped with locking cavities 14 and guide members 15 that are compatible with the protective plate 2, the protective plate 2 can be inserted and installed in either the camera cavity 11 or the storage compartment 13.

[0031] Furthermore, the application scenario in this application is in an outdoor parking lot, when the vehicle is parked and hail is imminent. By removing the protective plate 2 from the storage compartment 13 and installing it inside the camera cavity 11, the camera assembly 12 is protected by the protective plate 2. This is the primary scenario for the application; other scenarios are not considered.

[0032] It is worth noting that the outer shell of the electronic rearview mirror body 1 and the protective plate 2 are both made of materials with high hardness in the existing technology, which can effectively cope with the impact of hail.

[0033] In this invention, the protective plate 2 can be installed inside the camera cavity 11 by the fitting and locking between the locking plate 3 and the locking cavity 14. This allows the protective plate 2 to prevent hail from damaging the camera assembly 12. After the hailstorm, the protective plate 2 can be stored in the storage compartment 13 to protect the camera assembly 12 from hail.

[0034] 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.
