Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automotive parts, and in particular relates to a rearview mirror for electric vehicles or motorcycles. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing number of electric vehicles and motorcycles on the road, road safety has become a growing concern. Rearview mirrors are crucial for drivers to observe road conditions behind them, and their adjustability and adaptability directly affect the field of vision and driving safety.

[0003] For example, patent CN212980417U, entitled "A Motorcycle Rearview Mirror," discloses a rearview mirror body, mounting base, lead screw, lead screw nut, and connecting bracket. The lower end of the mounting base is mounted on the motorcycle. A rotating block is integrally formed at the lower end of the lead screw. A rotating groove is provided on the upper side of the mounting base for the rotating block to rotate. A first lever is provided on the outer wall of the lead screw near the rotating block for hand gripping and rotating. A lead screw nut is connected to the lead screw. The side wall of the lead screw nut is connected to the rearview mirror body via the connecting bracket. A limiting device is provided on the mounting base. When the rearview mirror height needs to be adjusted, simply hold the connecting bracket and rotate the first lever to rotate the lead screw, causing the lead screw nut to move up and down, thus adjusting the height of the rearview mirror body. When the rearview mirror is not in use and needs to be folded in, simply rotate the first lever to rotate the lead screw nut, causing the rearview mirror to rotate. It is very convenient to use.

[0004] However, this design has certain operational flaws: since both height adjustment and rotation / storage functions rely on the first lever, when the user intends to adjust the rearview mirror height, it is very easy to cause the lead screw nut to rotate, resulting in an unexpected angular shift of the rearview mirror. This coupled operation not only affects the adjustment accuracy but also reduces the user experience, failing to meet the user's actual need for independent and stable adjustment of the rearview mirror.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a rearview mirror for electric vehicles or motorcycles, including a mounting bracket 1, an adjusting arm 2, and a mirror body 3. One end of the adjusting arm 2 is hinged to the mounting bracket 1, and the mirror body 3 is mounted on the adjusting arm 2.

[0032] Preferably, the mounting bracket 1 includes a first mounting bracket 11 for fixing to the vehicle body and a second mounting bracket 12 rotatably connected to the first mounting bracket 11.

[0033] As one embodiment of the present invention, the top of the first mounting bracket 11 is provided with a spherical groove 111, and the bottom of the second mounting bracket 12 is provided with a hemispherical head 123, which is disposed in the spherical groove 111.

[0034] The first mounting bracket 11 and the second mounting bracket 12 are connected by a locking component, which includes a screw 124 and a nut 125. The screw 124 passes through the spherical groove 111 and the hemispherical head 123 and is locked to the nut 125 to restrict the hemispherical head 123 of the second mounting bracket 12 in the spherical groove 111. When the angle of the second mounting bracket 12 is adjusted, a strong static friction will be maintained between the hemispherical head 123 and the spherical groove 111, which will firmly lock the angle.

[0035] A bearing 126 is provided between the second mounting bracket 12 and the hemispherical head 123. Specifically, the bearing 126 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the screw 124. When the second mounting bracket 12 rotates, the bearing 126 provides low-resistance rolling friction instead of high-wear sliding friction, which reduces wear between the second mounting bracket 12 and the screw 124 and hemispherical head 123, thereby ensuring that the second mounting bracket 12 will not loosen due to wear during rotation.

[0036] Preferably, the second mounting bracket 12 is provided with a rotating shaft 121, and the end of the adjusting arm 2 is provided with a shaft hole 24 that cooperates with the rotating shaft 121. The adjusting arm 2 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 121 through the shaft hole 24 and can rotate around the rotating shaft 121, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the mirror body 3 in the vertical plane.

[0037] The horizontal adjustment of the overall angle of the rearview mirror can be achieved by the relative rotation between the first mounting bracket 11 and the second mounting bracket 12. Combined with the rotational connection between the adjusting arm 2 and the second mounting bracket 12, the vertical adjustment of the overall angle of the rearview mirror can be achieved. This dual adjustment design allows the rearview mirror to adapt to the viewing angle needs of users of different vehicle models or body types.

[0038] To further ensure smooth rotation and reduce wear, a shim 122 is fitted on the rotating shaft 121, and the shim 122 is located between the adjusting arm 2 and the second mounting bracket 12.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, the adjusting arm 2 includes an adjusting left arm 21 and an adjusting right arm 22. The adjusting left arm 21 and the adjusting right arm 22 are arranged opposite to each other, and sliding grooves 231 extending along the length direction are respectively machined on the opposite side.

[0040] During assembly, the telescopic rod 4 is placed in the sliding groove 231 of one of the arms, and then the right adjustment arm 22 is connected with the left adjustment arm 21 so that the two sliding grooves 231 together form a complete sliding cavity 23, which encloses the telescopic rod 4.

[0041] To securely connect the left adjusting arm 21 and the right adjusting arm 22, a first connecting hole 211 is provided on the left adjusting arm 21, and a second connecting hole 221 is provided at the corresponding position on the right adjusting arm 22. By passing the first connecting piece 26 through the first connecting hole 211 and the second connecting hole 221 and tightening it, the two arms can be firmly locked together to form a single adjusting arm 2. The split design of the adjusting arm 2 greatly facilitates the installation, maintenance, and replacement of the telescopic rod 4.

[0042] The adjusting arm 2 has a sliding cavity 23 extending along its length inside, and a telescopic rod 4 that can slide along the sliding cavity 23 is provided inside the sliding cavity 23. The mirror body 3 is fixedly installed at the end of the telescopic rod 4 away from the adjusting arm 2. To fix the position of the telescopic rod 4, a sliding hole 41 is provided on the rod body, and the telescopic rod 4 is fixed to the target position by fasteners 42. The telescopic rod 4 is preferably made of metal or high-strength engineering plastic.

[0043] Preferably, the fastener 42 can be a bolt, screw, or a dedicated quick-release pin. Both the left adjusting arm 21 and the right adjusting arm 22 have through holes 25 corresponding to the sliding hole 41. When the user pulls the telescopic rod 4 to the target position, the fastener 42 is sequentially passed through the through hole 25 of the right adjusting arm 22, the sliding hole 41 on the telescopic rod 4, and the through hole 25 of the left adjusting arm 21 to securely fix the telescopic rod 4 and prevent accidental movement. If the fastener 42 is a bolt, it can be used with a nut to form a threaded fastener, making the connection more reliable.

[0044] With the above structure, users can not only rotate the adjustment arm 2 to adjust the angle of the mirror body 3, but also change the extension length of the mirror body 3 by pulling the telescopic rod 4, so as to achieve multi-dimensional and wide-range flexible adjustment, significantly improving the applicability and user experience of the rearview mirror.

[0045] It is understood that those skilled in the art can combine various implementation methods in the above embodiments under the guidance of the above examples to obtain technical solutions with multiple implementation methods.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
