Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of interior rearview mirror technology, and in particular to an interior rearview mirror mounting structure. Background Technology

[0002] The rearview mirror is an important component of a vehicle's active safety system. Its main function is to provide the driver with an unobstructed real-time view of the rear, assisting them in fully perceiving the traffic environment behind the vehicle, effectively judging distances, predicting risks, and providing key decision-making basis for lane changing, steering, and braking operations. At the same time, it ensures nighttime driving safety through anti-glare function. It is one of the core in-vehicle devices for improving driving safety and situational awareness.

[0003] In the existing technology, there are many ways to install the interior rearview mirror, such as spring clip pressing and buckle. The steps of using spring clip pressing to fix the interior rearview mirror are to align the mounting sleeve on the interior rearview mirror with the mounting seat on the windshield, and then rotate the mounting sleeve so that the spring clip on the mounting sleeve presses against the oval lock on the mounting seat to fix it. However, since the point of action when rotating the spring clip to press against the oval lock is at the center of the mounting sleeve, it is more difficult for those with less strength to rotate the mounting sleeve. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an interior rearview mirror mounting structure, which aims to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0006] An interior rearview mirror mounting structure includes a first mounting assembly disposed on a windshield and a second mounting assembly disposed on an interior rearview mirror body. The first mounting assembly includes a mounting base fixedly connected to the windshield, an elliptical latch disposed on the mounting base, and a drive structure connected to the mounting base. The second mounting assembly includes a mounting sleeve connected to the interior rearview mirror body, a fixing spring disposed in the mounting sleeve, and a fixing member connected to the fixing spring. The drive structure is used to drive the fixing member to move in a direction away from the fixing spring.

[0007] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the edge of the mounting base is recessed and provided with a first clearance groove, which is configured to cooperate with the edge of the mounting sleeve.

[0008] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the fixing spring includes a base portion fixedly disposed in the mounting sleeve, two elastic portions disposed at both ends of the base portion, and an arc-shaped abutment portion connected to the elastic portions. In the reset state, the elastic portions are inclined toward the base portion, and the arc-shaped abutment portion is used to abut against the elliptical buckle. The base portion is elliptical in shape.

[0009] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the fixing member includes a fixing block fixedly connected to the elastic part and a fixing rod fixedly connected to the fixing block.

[0010] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the driving structure is a sliding groove recessed on the mounting base. The sliding groove includes a first sliding section extending outward from the center of the mounting base and a second sliding section extending from the tail end of the first sliding section toward the center of the mounting base. The first sliding section and the second sliding section are interconnected.

[0011] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the width of the sliding groove is greater than the diameter of the fixed rod, and the sliding groove has an inner groove wall that abuts against the fixed rod.

[0012] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the mounting sleeve is provided with two mounting blocks opposite to each other. The mounting block is located at the end of the elastic part away from the base part. The end of the mounting block near the elastic part is recessed to form an arc-shaped groove. The mounting block near the fixing block is recessed to form a second clearance groove.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] By using a first mounting component on the windshield, a mounting sleeve connected to the interior rearview mirror body, a drive structure on the mounting base, and a fixing component on the mounting sleeve, when the interior rearview mirror body needs to be installed on the windshield, the windshield is placed vertically, the mounting sleeve is aligned with the mounting base so that the fixing spring is aligned with the oval latch, and then the mounting sleeve is rotated clockwise so that the oval latch gradually opens the top fixing spring. The fixing spring achieves static balance between the spring and the oval latch through the rebound force, thereby fixing the interior rearview mirror body. During the rotation of the mounting sleeve, in order to avoid the spring force of the fixing spring being too tight, making it difficult for the oval latch to push open the lower part of the fixing spring, a fixing component is set on the fixing spring. The fixing component contacts the drive structure so that the upper part of the fixing spring can extend outward during the rotation, which makes it easier for the oval latch to push open the fixing spring. The same principle applies to disassembly. This utility model can facilitate quick installation and removal of the interior rearview mirror for people with less strength. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4The image shows a rearview mirror 20 mounting structure according to a first embodiment of the present invention, including a first mounting component 11 disposed on the windshield 10 and a second mounting component 21 disposed on the body of the rearview mirror 20. The first mounting component 11 includes a mounting base 111 fixedly connected to the windshield 10, an elliptical latch disposed on the mounting base 111, and a driving structure connected to the mounting base 111. The second mounting component 21 includes a mounting sleeve 211 connected to the body of the rearview mirror 20, a fixing spring disposed in the mounting sleeve 211, and a fixing member connected to the fixing spring. The driving structure is used to drive the fixing member to move away from the fixing spring.

[0026] Understandably, this utility model, through a first mounting assembly 11 on the windshield 10, a mounting sleeve 211 connected to the body of the interior rearview mirror 20, a driving structure on the mounting base 111, and a fixing member on the mounting sleeve 211, allows the interior rearview mirror 20 to be mounted on the windshield 10 when the windshield 10 is to be placed vertically. The mounting sleeve 211 is aligned with the mounting base 111 so that the fixing spring is aligned with the elliptical latch. Then, the mounting sleeve 211 is rotated clockwise, causing the elliptical latch to gradually open the top fixing spring. The fixing spring then... A static balance is achieved between the rebound force and the elliptical locking buckle to fix the interior rearview mirror 20 body. During the rotation installation of the sleeve 211, in order to avoid the spring force of the fixing spring being too tight, it is difficult for the elliptical locking buckle to push open the lower part of the fixing spring. Therefore, a fixing part is set on the fixing spring. The fixing part contacts the driving structure, so that the upper part of the fixing spring can extend outward during the rotation. This makes it easy for the elliptical locking buckle to push open the fixing spring. The same principle applies to disassembly. This utility model can make it easy for people with less strength to quickly install and disassemble the interior rearview mirror 20.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the edge of the mounting base 111 is recessed and provided with a first clearance groove 112, which is configured to cooperate with the edge of the mounting sleeve 211.

[0028] Understandably, the purpose of setting the first clearance groove 112 on the edge of the mounting base 111 is to facilitate alignment with the mounting sleeve 211.

[0029] Furthermore, the fixing spring includes a base portion 212 fixedly disposed in the mounting sleeve 211, two elastic portions 213 disposed at both ends of the base portion 212, and an arc-shaped abutment portion 214 connected to the elastic portions 213. In the reset state, the elastic portions 213 are inclined toward the base portion 212, and the arc-shaped abutment portion 214 is used to abut against the elliptical latch. The base portion 212 is elliptical in shape.

[0030] Understandably, when the two elastic parts 213 are in their reset state, the space formed between them is elliptical, which is similar to the shape of the elliptical latch. The elliptical latch of the mounting sleeve 211 is inserted between the two elastic parts 213, and then the mounting sleeve 211 is rotated clockwise so that the elliptical latch pushes the two elastic parts 213 outward to allow the elliptical latch to rotate until the elliptical latch has rotated about 90°. The strong reset force between the two elastic parts 213 can compress and fix the elliptical latch, and the arc-shaped blocking part 214 prevents the elliptical latch from falling off and can hold the elliptical latch.

[0031] Furthermore, the fixing member includes a fixing block 215 fixedly connected to the elastic part 213 and a fixing rod 216 fixedly connected to the fixing block 215; the driving structure is a sliding groove recessed on the mounting base 111, the sliding groove includes a first sliding section 113 extending outward from the center of the mounting base 111 and a second sliding section 114 extending from the tail end of the first sliding section 113 toward the center of the mounting base 111, the first sliding section 113 and the second sliding section 114 communicating with each other; the width of the sliding groove is greater than the diameter of the fixing rod 216, and the sliding groove has an inner groove wall that abuts against the fixing rod 216.

[0032] Understandably, since the elliptical latch in the prior art rotates at the center, it is difficult for someone with less strength to open the elastic part 213. Therefore, a fixing member and a driving structure are set up. First, the elliptical latch is inserted between the two elastic parts 213. At this time, the fixing rod 216 on the elastic part 213 is also located at the starting point of the first sliding section 113. By rotating the mounting sleeve 211, the elastic part 213 and the fixing rod 216 will rotate together. The fixing rod 216 gradually tilts outward along the first sliding section 113, thereby causing the elastic part 213 to extend outward. The upper end of the elastic part 213 extends outward, so that the elastic part 213... The lower end can also extend outward a little, allowing people to push open the elastic part 213 of the elliptical lock with less effort. When it is about to rotate 90°, the fixing rod 216 will transition from the first sliding section 113 to the second sliding section 114, so that the elastic part 213 is no longer restricted by the inner groove wall of the first sliding section 113. The restoring force of the elastic part 213 is all squeezed on the elliptical lock to compress and fix the elliptical lock. When disassembling, the installation sleeve 211 is rotated counterclockwise, and the fixing rod 216 will transition along the junction of the second sliding section 114 and the first sliding section 113 to the first sliding section 113. The same principle achieves effortless disassembly.

[0033] As the fixed rod 216 extends outward following the elastic part 213, it will gradually tilt, but this does not affect its movement against the first sliding section 113.

[0034] Furthermore, the mounting sleeve 211 is provided with two mounting blocks 218 opposite to each other. The mounting block 218 is located at the end of the elastic part 213 away from the base part 212. The end of the mounting block 218 near the elastic part 213 is recessed to form an arc-shaped groove 217. The mounting block 218 near the fixing block 215 is recessed to form a second clearance groove 219.

[0035] Understandably, after the elliptical latch rotates in the fixed spring, it will move along the arc groove 217 on the mounting block 218. Finally, the vertex of the long side of the elliptical latch is located in the arc groove 217. One of the mounting blocks 218 is also provided with a second clearance groove 219. When the upper edge of the elastic part 213 extends outward, the second clearance groove 219 is used to accommodate the fixing block 215 and the fixing rod 216 on the elastic part 213.

[0036] In summary, the interior rearview mirror installation structure in the above embodiments of this utility model allows people with limited strength to quickly install and remove the interior rearview mirror.
