Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to a rearview mirror reinforcement mounting structure. Background Technology

[0002] To increase the strength of the front doors, existing automobiles employ a front door structure consisting of an inner door panel and an outer door panel. A front door reinforcement plate further supports these panels, enhancing the overall strength of the front door. However, the front doors also house the exterior rearview mirrors, crucial components of a vehicle. Drivers use these mirrors to observe the external environment behind the vehicle, and the rigidity of their mounting points directly affects the mirror's stability. Therefore, the installation strength of the rearview mirror directly impacts the driver's visibility, thus affecting driving safety.

[0003] To further improve the installation strength of rearview mirrors, there are currently automotive front door window frame reinforcement plates disclosed in authorization announcement number CN206653905U. These plates include a reinforcement plate body, with a first connecting part and a second connecting part formed at the front and rear ends for connecting with the front door panel, respectively. The reinforcement plate body also has a third connecting part at the mounting point of the automotive exterior rearview mirror for connecting with the front door panel and improving structural strength. The third connecting part not only strengthens the support of the front door panel but also reinforces the mounting point of the exterior rearview mirror, thereby improving the stability of the rearview mirror.

[0004] However, in actual use, it has been found that existing rearview mirrors, in addition to the lens and housing, also include turn signals, an adjustment motor for adjusting the lens angle, a heating structure for heating the lens to prevent frost and fogging, a base plate for providing a foundation for the installation of the lens and other structures, and an adjustment bracket. This results in a relatively large weight for current rearview mirrors, and the size and weight of the rearview mirror are directly proportional to the size of the vehicle. Therefore, the aforementioned reinforcing plate cannot provide sufficient support for the rearview mirror in actual use. Secondly, because the third connecting part is integrally formed with the first and second connecting parts and together constitutes the reinforcing plate body, and the reinforcing plate body relies solely on the first connecting part near the front of the vehicle and the second connecting part near the rear of the vehicle for welding to the front door inner panel during installation, the reinforcing plate body is quite long and prone to deformation during prolonged use. This can cause the third connecting part to shift, reducing the support effect on the rearview mirror. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a rearview mirror reinforcement mounting structure to further improve the support effect of the rearview mirror and enhance its stability.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a rearview mirror reinforcement mounting structure, comprising a rearview mirror reinforcement plate, wherein the rearview mirror reinforcement plate is inclined at its upper end toward the inner plate and at its lower end toward the outer plate, and each of the four side walls of the rearview mirror reinforcement plate is fixed with a side plate, wherein the four side plates are an upper side plate, a lower side plate, a left side plate and a right side plate, all four being located on the side of the rearview mirror reinforcement plate away from the outer plate, and adjacent side plates are fixedly connected; the upper side plate abuts against and is fixedly connected to the inner plate, and the left side plate and the right side plate are both fixed to the outer plate.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this plan are:

[0008] 1. In this solution, the rearview mirror reinforcement plate is positioned opposite the mounting point of the rearview mirror. After installation, it abuts against the front door reinforcement plate, further enhancing the support for the rearview mirror. Furthermore, because the rearview mirror reinforcement plate in this solution is shorter and only supports the mounting point of the rearview mirror, it is less prone to deformation during use and can maintain its supporting effect on the rearview mirror for a longer period.

[0009] 2. The rearview mirror reinforcement plate in this solution has four side plates around its perimeter. The presence of the four side plates allows the adjacent side plates and the side plates and the rearview mirror reinforcement plate to form a mutual support relationship similar to a triangular support when the rearview mirror reinforcement plate is under stress, thereby making the rearview mirror reinforcement plate less prone to deformation.

[0010] On the other hand, the rearview mirror reinforcement plate in this solution is not a flat plate, but has a three-dimensional structure. This allows the rearview mirror reinforcement plate to be accommodated by setting a mounting groove on the front door reinforcement plate during installation. The cooperation between the rearview mirror reinforcement plate and the mounting groove ensures that the rearview mirror reinforcement plate will not shift even when not welded, thereby improving the accuracy of installation. Furthermore, during use, the cooperation between the rearview mirror reinforcement plate and the mounting groove also prevents relative movement between the rearview mirror reinforcement plate and the front door reinforcement plate, thereby improving the connection strength between the two.

[0011] Secondly, since the side plate and the rearview mirror reinforcement plate in this solution together form a three-dimensional structure, the thickness of the three-dimensional structure is greater than that of a single rearview mirror reinforcement plate. Accordingly, the depth of the mounting groove can be designed to be greater, thereby improving the limiting effect on the rearview mirror reinforcement plate.

[0012] 3. In this design, the rearview mirror reinforcement plate is tilted. Since the upper and lower ends abut against the inner panel and the front door reinforcement plate respectively, the rearview mirror reinforcement plate acts as a triangular support for both the inner and outer panels, thereby further increasing the strength of the door and improving the support effect on the rearview mirror mounting point.

[0013] Furthermore, the rearview mirror reinforcement plate has a first positioning groove on the side wall facing the outer plate.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: by setting a positioning protrusion on the front door reinforcement plate, the rearview mirror reinforcement plate can be further positioned by the cooperation of the positioning protrusion and the first positioning groove during installation.

[0015] Furthermore, the rearview mirror reinforcement plate has a first positioning protrusion on the side facing the inner plate, and the first positioning protrusion is opposite to the first positioning groove.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: By setting a positioning groove on the inner plate or the inner plate reinforcement plate, the rearview mirror reinforcement plate can be positioned by the inner plate during installation through the cooperation of the first positioning protrusion and the positioning groove. Simultaneously, the first positioning protrusion in this solution is opposite to the first positioning groove; that is, the first positioning protrusion in this solution is stamped from the rearview mirror reinforcement plate. At this time, the first positioning protrusion undergoes bending deformation, which simplifies processing and avoids the rearview mirror reinforcement plate being flat, thereby increasing the strength of the rearview mirror reinforcement plate and making it less prone to deformation.

[0017] Furthermore, a second positioning groove is provided on the side of the upper side plate facing the inner plate.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: as above, by setting a positioning protrusion opposite to the second positioning groove on the inner plate or the inner plate reinforcement plate, the limiting effect of the rearview mirror reinforcement plate can be improved, making it less prone to deformation during use.

[0019] Furthermore, a second positioning protrusion is provided on the side of the upper side plate facing the outer plate, and the second positioning protrusion is opposite to the second positioning groove.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: as above, by designing the second positioning protrusion and the second positioning groove, the positioning effect of the rearview mirror reinforcement plate is improved. In addition to positioning the rearview mirror reinforcement plate, this solution can also position the upper side plate, further preventing the rearview mirror reinforcement plate from shifting during installation and use.

[0021] Furthermore, the top of the upper side panel is provided with an upper extension, which abuts against the inner panel.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: compared with the design where the upper part of the rearview mirror reinforcement plate abuts against the inner plate, the upper side plate in this solution has a larger contact area with the inner plate, which makes it easier to fix the two by welding or other methods, and makes the connection strength between the two with the inner plate greater.

[0023] Furthermore, the left and right side panels are provided with lateral extensions on the side away from the rearview mirror reinforcement plate. The lateral extensions are located on the side of the left and right side panels away from the outer panel, and the lateral extensions abut against and are fixed to the front door reinforcement plate.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this solution are: the contact area between the lateral extension and the front door reinforcement plate is larger, and the fixation to the front door reinforcement plate is more secure.

[0025] Furthermore, the upper end of the lateral extension is fixed to the upper side plate.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: the lateral extension in this solution can support the upper side plate, thereby further preventing deformation of the upper side plate and the lateral extension, thus increasing the support effect on the rearview mirror.

[0027] Furthermore, a lateral protrusion is provided on the side of the lateral extension facing the outer plate. The lateral protrusion is located on the upper part of the lateral extension, and a limiting gap is formed between the lateral protrusion and both the left and right side plates.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: the limiting gap, in conjunction with the protrusion on the front door reinforcement plate, can further position the rearview mirror reinforcement plate. Furthermore, the lateral protrusions make the lateral extension and rearview mirror reinforcement plate less prone to deformation when the door is subjected to pressure in the thickness direction.

[0029] Furthermore, the lower side panel includes a first part, a second part, and a third part. The first part is opposite to the middle of the rearview mirror reinforcement plate. The second part and the third part are located on both sides of the first part and are fixed to the left side panel and the right side panel respectively. V-shaped grooves are provided between the first part and the second part, as well as between the first part and the third part.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this solution are: when forming structures such as the lower side panel and the rearview mirror reinforcement plate, the V-shaped groove in this solution provides bending space for the stamping and forming of the left and right side panels, ensuring smooth processing.

[0035] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0036] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1, first positioning groove 11, first positioning protrusion 12, upper side plate 2, second positioning protrusion 21, upper extension 22, left side plate 3, right side plate 4, lateral extension 5, lateral protrusion 51, limiting gap 52, lower side plate 6, first part 61, second part 62, third part 63, V-groove 64, inner panel reinforcement plate 7, and front door reinforcement plate 8.

[0037] Example

[0038] The implementation examples are basically as follows Figure 1 As shown, a rearview mirror reinforcement mounting structure includes a rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1. The upper end of the rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1 is inclined towards the inner panel. The rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1 is provided with four side plates, namely an upper side plate 2, a lower side plate 6, a left side plate 3, and a right side plate 4, which are respectively located on the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1. Figure 2 As shown, the upper side plate 2, lower side plate 6, left side plate 3, and right side plate 4 are all located on the left side of the rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1, and adjacent side plates are fixedly connected. The top of the upper side plate 2 is provided with an upper extension 22, and the left side plate 3 and right side plate 4 are provided with lateral extensions 5 on the side away from the rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1. In this embodiment, the rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1, upper side plate 2, lower side plate 6, left side plate 3, right side plate 4, upper extension 22, and lateral extension 5 are all formed by stamping from a plate material.

[0039] Specifically, the right side wall of the rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1 is provided with two first positioning grooves 11, which are located at the front and rear ends of the rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1, respectively; for example... Figure 1 As shown, the front sidewall of the rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1 is provided with two first positioning protrusions 12, which are respectively opposite to two first positioning grooves 11. In this embodiment, the first positioning protrusions 12 and the first positioning grooves 11 are formed by the rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1 being deformed backward during the stamping process.

[0040] The front side wall of the upper side plate 2 is provided with two second positioning grooves, which are combined with Figure 2 The right side wall is provided with a second positioning protrusion 21. The two second positioning protrusions 21 are respectively opposite to the two second positioning grooves. In this embodiment, the second positioning protrusion and the second positioning groove are formed by the upper side plate 2 being deformed forward during stamping.

[0041] The upper extension 22 extends upward and abuts against the inner panel of the door. In actual implementation, it is combined with... Figure 3 If the inner panel of the door is also provided with an inner panel reinforcement plate 7, the upper extension 22 can also abut against the inner panel reinforcement plate 7, thereby supporting the inner panel by supporting the inner panel reinforcement plate 7.

[0042] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4Both lateral extensions 5 extend away from the rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1 and are attached to the front door reinforcement plate 8. Taking the right side plate 4 as an example, the upper part of the lateral extension 5 bends to the right in a V-shape, forming a lateral protrusion 51 on the right side wall of the lateral extension 5. The lateral protrusion 51 is located in front of the right side plate 4 and forms a limiting gap 52 between it and the right side plate 4. In this embodiment, the upper end of the lateral extension 5 is also integrally formed with the upper side plate 2.

[0043] For example Figure 1 As shown, the lower side panel 6 includes a first part 61, a second part 62, and a third part 63. The first part 61 is opposite to the rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1. The second part 62 and the third part 63 are located on the left and right sides of the first part 61, respectively. The second part 62 is integrally formed with the left side panel 3, and the third part 63 is integrally formed with the right side panel 4. V-shaped grooves 64 are formed between the second part 62 and the first part 61, and between the third part 63 and the first part 61.

[0044] When using the installation structure in this embodiment, the shape of the front door reinforcement plate 8 of the front door is adjusted according to the installation structure in this embodiment: the front door reinforcement plate 8 is provided with a receiving groove at the position opposite to the rearview mirror mounting point to accommodate the right-protruding rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1, upper side plate 2, lower side plate 6, left side plate 3 and right side plate 4, until the upper extension 22 and the two lateral extensions 5 are in contact with the area around the receiving groove, and the right side wall of the rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1 is in contact with the front door reinforcement plate 8 and the rearview mirror reinforcement plate 1 and the front door reinforcement plate 8 are fixed by multi-position welding.

[0045] Secondly, by providing receiving grooves on the front door reinforcing plate 8 to accommodate the second positioning protrusion 21 and the lateral protrusion 51 respectively, and by providing positioning protrusions extending into the first positioning groove 11, the positioning effect of the mounting structure can be improved. Meanwhile, the two lateral extensions 5 are welded and fixed to the front door reinforcing plate 8, further improving the fixing effect of the mounting structure. In this embodiment, the rearview mirror reinforcing plate 1 supports the front door reinforcing plate 8 and the inner plate at the portion opposite the rearview mirror mounting point, further improving the strength of the rearview mirror mounting point.
