[0002] A car sun visor is a device installed on the top inside of a car's windshield. Its main function is to block sunlight or other strong light from shining directly into the eyes of the driver or passengers, thereby reducing glare and improving driving safety and passenger comfort.

[0003] Based on the above, the following problems were found: Current car sun visors are usually physical sunshades, which can effectively block direct sunlight, but they also obstruct the driver's vision. In the evening or early morning, when the angle of direct sunlight is small, the sun can easily shine directly into the driver's eyes. During this time, drivers need to frequently raise and lower the sun visor, which is quite inconvenient.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a temperature-sensitive color-changing car sun visor in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content
