Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Traditional rearview mirrors for motorcycles, electric vehicles, and other similar vehicles are primarily used to provide drivers with a rear view. Their function is limited, typically consisting only of a housing, a mirror, and an adjustment mechanism. At night or in low-visibility conditions, vehicle visibility is poor, increasing the risk of traffic accidents, especially since vehicles are often overlooked by other drivers due to their small size.

[0003] To improve vehicle visibility, existing technologies disclose the integration of turn signals into rearview mirrors. For example, Chinese patent document CN202422071178.7 discloses a motorcycle rearview mirror assembly with integrated turn signal strips. The rearview mirror assembly has an outer shell, an inner base, a turn signal bulb at the bottom of the base, and a lamp cover on the outside of the turn signal bulb.

[0004] When the existing rearview mirror turn signal bulbs are lit, the light scattering angle is limited, making it difficult for vehicles to clearly discern the turning intention, especially in bright sunlight or rainy / foggy weather, further reducing visibility and resulting in poor turn signal indication. Furthermore, the existing rearview mirror turn signals use an exposed design, making the lamp structure clearly visible even when not illuminated, detracting from the overall aesthetics and texture of the rearview mirror, appearing particularly abrupt when unlit and affecting the vehicle's visual harmony. Additionally, the exposed plastic lamp housing structure, under prolonged direct sunlight, causes problems such as yellowing of the plastic and bulb light decay.

[0005] In view of this, this case conducts an in-depth study of the above-mentioned problems and proposes a vehicle rearview mirror that solves the aforementioned technical problems, thus this case arises. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vehicle rearview mirror that is highly concealed and has excellent indication effect, achieving a balance between aesthetics and function.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is:

[0008] A vehicle rearview mirror includes a mirror base and a mirror rod connected to each other; the mirror base includes a housing and a lens mounted on the front of the housing; the back of the housing and / or the back of the mirror rod adopts an overall recessed design to form an integral recessed groove, the integral recessed groove houses a light-emitting component and a light guide cover covering the light-emitting component; a light-transmitting back plate is embedded in the open end face of the integral recessed groove.

[0009] The back of the mirror mount and the back of the mirror rod are staggered.

[0010] The light-emitting components inside the housing are arranged in a ring.

[0011] The bottom of the integral sink in the housing is provided with an annular groove, and the light-emitting component in the housing is arranged in a ring shape and emits light laterally within the annular groove.

[0012] The light-emitting component inside the mirror rod is a long strip structure extending along the length of the mirror rod.

[0013] The light-transmitting back panel is made of glass or acrylic.

[0014] The lens mount and the lens rod are connected by a connector. One end of the connector is threaded to the lens rod, and the other end of the connector is a ball head pin. The housing is provided with a bushing that matches the ball head pin and a positioning block for positioning the bushing.

[0015] The front of the housing has a receiving cavity, and the integral groove on the back of the housing is separated from the receiving cavity by a partition. A first wire hole is provided on the partition, a second wire hole is formed in the connector, and a third wire hole is provided on the mirror rod. The lead wire of the light-emitting component in the housing is sequentially threaded through the first wire hole, the second wire hole and the third wire hole.

[0016] The back of the corresponding lens inside the housing is provided with a front light-emitting unit that emits light synchronously with the light-emitting component and a cover covering the front light-emitting unit; at least the area of ​​the lens corresponding to the cover is a light-transmitting area.

[0017] The light-emitting component includes a first light-emitting component disposed in the lens mount and a second light-emitting component disposed in the lens rod; the first light-emitting component and the second light-emitting component are connected by circuits that emit light independently, and the front light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting component are connected by circuits that emit light synchronously.

[0018] Both the front-facing light-emitting unit and the cover are in an inverted V-shape and are positioned at the upper part of the mirror mount.

[0019] After adopting the above solution, the advantages of this new type of vehicle rearview mirror compared to the prior art are as follows:

[0020] 1. The new type of light-emitting component is built into the overall recess of the mirror mount and / or mirror rod, and is covered by a light-transmitting back plate, so that the turn signal is completely hidden when not lit, avoiding the abruptness of traditional exposed light strips and keeping the rearview mirror's appearance simple and smooth.

[0021] 2. The light-transmitting back panel is embedded at the end face of the recessed groove to form an integrated back structure. The back of the rearview mirror presents an integral flat surface. The overall recessed groove design avoids protruding parts, and the sunken structure reduces wind resistance and extends service life.

[0022] Third, this new type of optimized optical structure guides light through a light guide cover and then through a light-transmitting back plate to uniformly scatter the emitted light, avoiding local over-brightness or glare problems, and effectively provides a wide viewing angle, which is conducive to clearly identifying turning intentions.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The following detailed description of this case is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] This case involves a vehicle rearview mirror, such as Figure 1-5As shown, it mainly includes a lens mount 1 and a lens stem 2 that are connected to each other. The lens mount 1 includes a housing 11 and a lens 12 mounted on the front of the housing 11.

[0034] The back of the housing 11 and / or the back of the mirror rod 2 are designed with an overall recessed design to form an integral recessed groove. The integral recessed groove refers to a full-surface groove structure formed by the entire back recessing process, and the outline of the integral recessed groove is conformal to the corresponding back outline.

[0035] The integral recessed groove houses a light-emitting component and a light guide cover mounted on the light-emitting component; a light-transmitting back plate is fitted into the opening end face of the integral recessed groove. Specifically, the back of the housing 11 adopts an integral recessed design to form a first integral recessed groove 111, which houses a first light-emitting component 13 and a first light guide cover 14 mounted on the first light-emitting component 13, and a first light-transmitting back plate 15 is fitted into the opening end face of the first integral recessed groove 111; and / or, the back of the mirror rod 2 adopts an integral recessed design to form a second integral recessed groove 21, which houses a second light-emitting component 23 and a second light guide cover 24 mounted on the second light-emitting component 23, and a second light-transmitting back plate 25 is fitted into the opening end face of the second integral recessed groove 21.

[0036] The first light-emitting component 13 is built into the first integral recess 111 of the mirror base 1 and covered by the first light-transmitting back plate 15, and / or the second light-emitting component 23 is built into the second integral recess 21 of the mirror rod 2 and covered by the second light-transmitting back plate 25, so that the turn signal of the rearview mirror is completely hidden when it is not lit, avoiding the abruptness of the traditional exposed light strip and keeping the appearance of the rearview mirror simple and smooth.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the first light-transmitting back panel 15 and the second light-transmitting back panel 25 are embedded at the end face of the recessed groove to form an integrated back structure. The back of the rearview mirror presents an integral flat surface. The integrated recessed groove and the integrated light-transmitting back panel design avoids protruding parts. The recessed structure reduces wind resistance and extends service life.

[0038] The first light-emitting component 13 and the second light-emitting component 23 guide light through the first light guide cover 14 and the second light guide cover 24, and then the emitted light is evenly scattered through the first light-transmitting back plate 15 and the second light-transmitting back plate 25, avoiding local over-brightness or glare problems, and widening the effective viewing angle to facilitate clear identification of the vehicle's turning intentions. The first light-emitting component 13 and the second light-emitting component 23 can be static light-emitting components or dynamic light-emitting components. Dynamic light-emitting components include types such as flowing lights, breathing lights, and gradient lights, which achieve different lighting effects by changing the light-emitting components.

[0039] The preferred embodiment of this novel solution is as follows: Figure 2As shown, the back of the mirror base 1 and the back of the mirror rod 2 are staggered. In a preferred embodiment, the mirror base 1 is provided with a first light-emitting component 13 and the mirror rod 2 is provided with a second light-emitting component 23. The back of the mirror base 1 and the back of the mirror rod 2 are staggered, that is, the first light-transmitting back plate 15 of the mirror base 1 and the first light-transmitting back plate 15 of the mirror rod 2 are staggered. In this way, the two light-emitting surfaces are arranged in a three-dimensional staggered layout, forming a wider light coverage range. When the turn signal is activated, the light shines from different positions on the mirror base 1 and the mirror rod 2, enhancing the visibility of vehicles to the side and behind.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the first light-emitting component 13 inside the housing 11 is arranged in a ring. Thus, the back of the housing 11 forms a visual effect of full-surface light emission with a ring-shaped protrusion.

[0041] Furthermore, an annular groove 112 is recessed at the bottom of the first integral recess 111 inside the housing 11, and the first light-emitting component 13 inside the housing 11 is arranged in a ring around the annular groove 112, and the first light-emitting component 13 is lateral ( Figure 5 The light-emitting configuration is oriented to the right. This design facilitates the positioning and assembly of the first light-emitting component 13 within the first integral recess 111 and enables optical optimization.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the second light-emitting component 23 inside the mirror rod 2 is a long strip structure extending along the length of the mirror rod 2. The long strip of light provides excellent turn signal indication. When both the mirror base 1 and the mirror rod 2 are equipped with light-emitting components, when the turn signal is activated, it presents a light-emitting effect composed of a combination of a light wheel and a light handle formed by the full-area backlight of the mirror base and the linear light strip of the mirror rod. The full-area backlight provides spatial positioning, and the linear light handle expresses the direction of movement, resulting in high turn signal recognition.

[0043] The first light-transmitting back panel 15 / the second light-transmitting back panel 25 can be made of any light-transmitting plate, and the preferred embodiment is a glass plate or an acrylic plate.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the lens mount 1 and the lens rod 2 are connected by a connector 3. One end of the connector 3 has a threaded portion 31, which is threadedly connected to the lens rod 2. The other end of the connector 3 is a ball head pin 32. The housing 11 has a bushing 16 adapted to the ball head pin 32 and a positioning block 17 for positioning the bushing 16. The positioning block 17 is locked in the housing 11 by a pin. Of course, the first light-transmitting back plate 15 has a through hole 151 for the connector 3 to extend through. Through the cooperation of the ball head pin 32 and the bushing 16, the lens mount 1 can achieve full-angle adjustment relative to the lens rod 2.

[0045] Furthermore, a receiving cavity 113 is formed on the front side of the housing 11, and a partition 114 is provided between the first integral recess 111 on the back side of the housing 11 and the receiving cavity 113. A first wire-passing hole 115 is provided on the partition 114, a second wire-passing hole 33 is formed in the connector 3, and a third wire-passing hole 26 is provided on the mirror rod 2. In this way, the lead wire of the first light-emitting component 13 is sequentially threaded through the first wire-passing hole 115, the second wire-passing hole 33, and the third wire-passing hole 26, making the lead wire connection simple and concealed. Specifically, the lead wire 131 of the first light-emitting component 13 located on the back side passes through the first wire-passing hole 115 into the receiving cavity 113 on the front side, then extends into the mirror rod 2 through the second wire-passing hole 33, and finally extends out through the third wire-passing hole 26 to connect with an external power supply or controller. The connecting wire of the second light-emitting component 23 extends directly through the third wire-passing hole 26 to connect with an external power supply or controller.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the mirror rod 2 is equipped with a detachable support leg 4, which has a fourth wire hole 41. The connecting wire of the first light-emitting component 13 / the second light-emitting component 23 extends through the third wire hole 26 and then passes through the fourth wire hole 41, which facilitates further connection with the outside.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the back of the lens 2 within the housing 11 is provided with a front-mounted light-emitting unit 51 that emits light synchronously with the light-emitting component, and a cover 52 covering the front-mounted light-emitting unit 51. The cover 52 serves to uniformly guide light to the front-mounted light-emitting unit 51. At least the area of ​​the lens 2 corresponding to the cover 51 is a light-transmitting area. The lead wires of the front-mounted light-emitting unit 51 can also be sequentially threaded through the second wire hole 33 and the third wire hole 26. When the light-emitting component (first light-emitting component 13 and / or second light-emitting component 23) on the back of the rearview mirror is in the on-lit state, the front-mounted light-emitting unit 51 is simultaneously lit, and the light is emitted through the light-transmitting area. This allows the driver to easily know and judge the on / off status of the light-emitting component on the back of the rearview mirror, bringing safety and practicality.

[0048] Furthermore, assuming that both the mirror base 1 and the mirror rod 2 are equipped with light-emitting components, the light-emitting components include a first light-emitting component 13 located in the mirror base 1 and a second light-emitting component 23 located in the mirror rod 2. The first light-emitting component 13 and the second light-emitting component 23 are connected in an independently emitting circuit configuration, while the front light-emitting unit 51 and the second light-emitting component 23 are connected in a synchronously emitting circuit configuration, specifically in series. The independent light-emitting design of the first light-emitting component 13 and the second light-emitting component 23 allows for independent control of their opening and closing states, facilitating separate control of the two sets of light-emitting components at different positions on the rear, increasing the diversity of lighting modes on the rear of the rearview mirror. The synchronous light-emitting design of the front light-emitting unit 51 and the second light-emitting component 23 allows for synchronized control of their opening and closing actions. The rearview mirror's turn indication is primarily based on the second light-emitting component 23, while the front light-emitting unit 51 provides feedback on the opening and closing status of the second light-emitting component 23 on the rear of the rearview mirror. The lighting design of the rearview mirror balances safety, practicality, and the technical benefits of multiple lighting modes.

[0049] The position and shape of the front light-emitting unit 51 and the cover 52 are diverse. In a preferred embodiment, both the front light-emitting unit 51 and the cover 52 are inverted V-shaped structures and are located in the upper part of the mirror base 1, which is eye-catching and has a distinctive aesthetic.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the claims of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
