Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the structure of automobile parts, in particular to a reinforcing structure for the installation of an external rearview mirror of an automobile. Background Technique

[0002] During daily driving, the driver and passengers need to frequently observe the external rearview mirror of the automobile to understand the driving state of the vehicle and the relative position relationship and changes with the vehicle, especially the vehicle behind the vehicle in real time, so as to safely control the driving of the vehicle. The external rearview mirror of the automobile belongs to a high-frequency utilization component. The driver and passengers, especially the driver, have extremely high sensitivity to the stability, the mirror reflection image area and the clarity of the external rearview mirror of the automobile. For example, if the road condition is bumpy and the mirror shakes, the instability of the reflected image will inevitably cause the driver to make a wrong judgment or be difficult to judge, which poses a safety hazard to the safe driving and control of the vehicle. [[ID=IO]]

[0003] As disclosed in the "A Reinforcing Plate Structure for Installing an External Rearview Mirror on a Vehicle Body Door" (CN 213565373U), a reinforcing plate for installing an external rearview mirror is disclosed. The longitudinal section of the reinforcing plate 4 for installing an external rearview mirror is in a "U" - shaped structure with an opening facing inwards. The outer side surface 41 of the reinforcing plate 4 for installing an external rearview mirror is fixedly connected to the reinforcing plate 3 of the front door outer waistline in a fitting manner. The upper end surface 42 and the lower end surface 43 of the inner opening of the reinforcing plate 4 for installing an external rearview mirror are both fixedly connected to the inner door panel 1.

[0004] In the above solution, the installation strength of the external rearview mirror is enhanced by increasing the fitting connection between the reinforcing plate for installing an external rearview mirror and the reinforcing plate 3 of the front door outer waistline. Although it has a certain enhancing effect, when driving at high speed or on bumpy roads, the external rearview mirror is likely to cause a deformation trend at the waistline position of the door, thus affecting the structure of the door and resulting in the instability of the reflected image.

[0013] Figure 5 yes Figure 3 Sectional view of AA. Detailed Implementation

[0014] like Figures 1-5 The diagram shows a reinforced structure for mounting a car exterior rearview mirror. A rearview mirror mounting reinforcement plate 10 is provided at the junction of the inner door panel 30 and the window frame reinforcement plate 40 at the corner of the front window frame and at the junction of the hinge reinforcement plate 20. The middle panel 13 of the rearview mirror mounting reinforcement plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inner panel of the window frame reinforcement plate 40. The edge of the rearview mirror mounting reinforcement plate 10 has a flanged portion extending towards the inner door panel 30 and the hinge reinforcement plate 20, which is welded to the inner door panel 30 and the hinge reinforcement plate 20.

[0015] In the above solution, the upper edge of the window frame reinforcing plate 40 is welded and fixed to the upper frame of the car inner panel. The middle plate surface 13 of the rearview mirror mounting reinforcing plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inner plate surface of the window frame reinforcing plate 40. The edge of the rearview mirror mounting reinforcing plate 10 is provided with a flanged part that is welded to the car door inner panel 30 and the hinge reinforcing plate 20, thereby forming a cavity between the window frame reinforcing plate 40 and the car door inner panel 30 and the hinge reinforcing plate 20, which enhances the strength of the rearview mirror mounting structure and avoids the shaking problem of the car's exterior rearview mirror.

[0016] Specifically, the rearview mirror mounting reinforcement plate 10 has an overlapping flange 11 at the front edge of the plate, and the overlapping flange 11 is welded to the hinge reinforcement plate 20.

[0017] The rearview mirror mounting reinforcement plate 10 has a support leg 12 extending towards the inner door panel 30 at the lower edge of the plate. The end of the support leg 12 has a support leg claw plate 121 that is welded to the inner door panel 30.

[0018] The upper edge of the rearview mirror mounting reinforcement plate 10 has a support arm 13 extending toward the inner door panel 30. The end of the support arm 13 has a support arm claw plate 131 that is welded to the inner door panel 30.

[0019] In the above scheme, the three sides of the rearview mirror mounting reinforcement plate 10 are welded to the hinge reinforcement plate 20 and the inner door panel 30, respectively. The front side of the rearview mirror mounting reinforcement plate 10 is located between the hinge reinforcement plate 20 and the window frame reinforcement plate 40. The three are welded together and fixed, which effectively increases the connection strength of the rearview mirror mounting reinforcement plate 10. At the same time, the support claw plate 121 of the lower side support leg 12 of the rearview mirror mounting reinforcement plate 10 is welded to the inner door panel 30, and the support arm plate claw plate 131 of the upper side support arm 13 of the rearview mirror mounting reinforcement plate 10 is welded to the inner door panel 30 to achieve a stable connection between the rearview mirror mounting reinforcement plate 10 and the inner door panel 30.
