Description

Technical Field

[0001] This manual relates to the field of vehicle rearview mirror technology, and in particular to a vehicle exterior rearview mirror mounting structure and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Exterior rearview mirrors are typically mounted on the front doors of vehicles near the window frame and A-pillar using a mirror mounting structure. This area is inherently narrow, requiring sufficient depth to accommodate the lowered window glass, and the internal structure of the door is complex and compact. Therefore, the size of the reinforcing beam supporting the rearview mirror is strictly limited: an excessively large beam would interfere with other internal door components and violate lightweight vehicle requirements; for example, increasing the beam area would significantly increase the door's weight.

[0003] The direct consequence of these space and weight constraints is that the mounting structure, which relies solely on reinforcing beams (or is integrated with the inner door panel), has relatively weak rigidity. At high speeds, the rearview mirrors are prone to shaking or even damage.

[0004] Therefore, this manual provides a vehicle exterior rearview mirror mounting structure and a vehicle. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This manual provides a vehicle exterior rearview mirror mounting structure and vehicle, which solves the problems of weak rigidity and lack of lightweighting in existing rearview mirror mounting structures.

[0006] The following technical solution is adopted in this specification:

[0007] This specification provides a vehicle exterior rearview mirror mounting structure, including: a reinforcing crossbeam, a crossbeam reinforcing plate, a door inner panel, and a door inner panel reinforcing plate; the door inner panel reinforcing plate is attached to and fixedly connected to the door inner panel, and the door inner panel reinforcing plate is used to strengthen the strength of the door inner panel; a cavity structure is formed between the reinforcing crossbeam and the door inner panel, and the crossbeam reinforcing plate is located within the cavity structure; the crossbeam reinforcing plate abuts against the reinforcing crossbeam to support the reinforcing crossbeam; the reinforcing crossbeam and the crossbeam reinforcing plate are at least partially attached to form a rearview mirror mounting position.

[0008] According to the above-mentioned technical means, by forming a cavity structure between the reinforcing crossbeam and the inner panel of the door, the crossbeam reinforcing plate is installed in the cavity structure. The crossbeam reinforcing plate supports and reinforces the reinforcing crossbeam to enhance its strength. At the same time, the reinforcing crossbeam and the crossbeam reinforcing plate are at least partially attached to each other to form a double-layer structure. The attached part (i.e., the double-layer structure part) forms the rearview mirror mounting position, which can improve the rigidity and structural stability of the vehicle exterior rearview mirror mounting structure.

[0009] Furthermore, an installation step is formed on the reinforcing beam, and a deformation portion is formed on the reinforcing plate of the beam that fits with the installation step. Rearview mirror mounting holes are correspondingly provided on the installation step and the deformation portion.

[0010] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the design of the mounting step and deformation section ensures a tighter fit and more accurate alignment between the crossbeam reinforcement plate and the reinforcing crossbeam, while also increasing structural strength and optimizing the internal cavity space of the rearview mirror mounting structure. The cooperation between the deformation section and the mounting step effectively prevents the crossbeam reinforcement plate from shifting or loosening during installation or use, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability of the rearview mirror installation. The deformation section is designed to adapt to the shape of the mounting step, allowing for a larger contact area and more even stress distribution. This structure helps to disperse the vibration and impact loads experienced by the rearview mirror during driving, reducing local stress concentration and thus enhancing the overall structural durability and fatigue resistance. Furthermore, because the mounting step and deformation section are mutually fitted, the corresponding rearview mirror mounting holes on both can better ensure the positional consistency and coaxiality of these holes, thereby ensuring the angular accuracy and operational stability of the rearview mirror after installation.

[0011] Furthermore, a first fixed connector is formed along the length direction (the length direction of the vehicle during actual installation) on the reinforcing crossbeam; the first fixed connector is fixedly connected to the inner panel of the door.

[0012] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the reinforcing beam is connected and fixed to the inner door panel on one side by a first fixed connector, thereby increasing the installation rigidity of the rearview mirror mounting area at the reinforcing beam and improving stability. This helps resist the bending moment and shear force generated by external forces such as wind resistance and vibration during vehicle operation. This design allows the external load borne by the rearview mirror to be more effectively transferred from the reinforcing beam to the inner door panel through the first fixed connector, avoiding local stress concentration and improving structural durability. Installing connectors on both sides or one side of the reinforcing beam can, to some extent, prevent the beam from torturing under load, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the rearview mirror mounting platform.

[0013] Furthermore, a second fixing connector is formed on the reinforcing crossbeam along the height direction (the height direction of the vehicle during actual installation), and the second fixing connector is fixedly connected to the door inner panel reinforcing plate.

[0014] According to the above-mentioned technical means, a second fixing connector is also formed on one side of the reinforcing beam, which is fixedly connected to the inner door panel reinforcement plate. The second fixing connector connects the reinforcing beam and the inner door panel reinforcement plate together, so that the entire rearview mirror mounting structure forms a more stable overall frame, further improving the installation rigidity of the rearview mirror mounting area at the reinforcing beam and enhancing stability.

[0015] Furthermore, a third fixed connector and a fourth fixed connector are formed on opposite sides of the deformed portion. The third fixed connector is fixedly connected to the inner door panel reinforcement plate; the fourth fixed connector is fixedly connected to the inner door panel reinforcement plate and the inner door panel.

[0016] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the crossbeam reinforcement plate is fixed in multiple places through the third and fourth fixing connectors, which can make the crossbeam reinforcement plate firmly connected in the cavity structure formed between the reinforcing crossbeam and the inner panel of the door, effectively preventing loosening caused by vibration and impact.

[0017] Furthermore, at least one of the other two sides of the deformed portion is provided with a fifth fixed connector; the fifth fixed connector is fixedly connected between the reinforcing beam and the inner door panel.

[0018] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the crossbeam reinforcement plate, through a third, fourth, and fifth fixing connector, is securely connected to the cavity structure formed between the reinforcing crossbeam and the inner door panel, effectively preventing loosening caused by vibration and impact. External loads (such as wind resistance and collision forces) can be transmitted to the inner door panel, the inner door panel reinforcement plate, and the reinforcing crossbeam through multiple paths, avoiding overloading of a single structure. Even if one connection fails, the remaining connections can still maintain the basic structural integrity, improving the overall vehicle safety performance. Achieving higher structural strength through multi-point reinforcement without increasing material thickness aligns with the trend of automotive lightweighting.

[0019] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib is formed on the crossbeam reinforcing plate, and the reinforcing rib extends between the deformed part and the fourth fixed connector.

[0020] Based on the aforementioned technical methods, reinforcing ribs, as a typical structural reinforcement method, can significantly improve the bending and torsional resistance of the crossbeam reinforcement plate, enabling it to better support the reinforced crossbeam. The reinforcing ribs effectively guide the force from the deformed portion to the fourth fixed connector, and then transfer it to the inner door panel and the inner door panel reinforcement plate, forming a multi-level force transmission path and avoiding localized stress concentration. The presence of reinforcing ribs enhances the supporting effect of the crossbeam reinforcement plate on the reinforced crossbeam, especially under external forces (such as wind resistance, collisions, and vibrations), effectively preventing the reinforced crossbeam from bending or displacing. Improving strength through structural optimization (such as the use of reinforcing ribs) with limited material usage aligns with the modern trend of lightweight automotive components.

[0021] Furthermore, the mounting step is welded and fixed to the deformed part to form a two-layer welded structure.

[0022] Based on the aforementioned technical methods, rearview mirrors are subject to dynamic loads such as wind resistance and bumps during vehicle operation. The two-layer welded structure effectively prevents loosening or fatigue fracture caused by vibration. Interlayer welding reduces gaps, preventing moisture and dust from entering, avoiding internal corrosion, and improving the environmental adaptability and durability of components. By using thinner materials and optimizing the welding process, insufficient strength is compensated for, achieving the goal of "weight reduction without performance reduction."

[0023] Furthermore, the first fixed connector, the inner door panel reinforcing plate, and the inner door panel are sequentially bonded and welded together to form a three-layer welded structure.

[0024] Based on the aforementioned technical methods, the three-layer welded structure expands the welding contact area and enhances the overall load-bearing capacity of the connection, making it particularly suitable for complex stress environments such as shear force and bending moment. During long-term vehicle use, the rearview mirror area is continuously subjected to dynamic loads such as wind resistance, vibration, and bumps. The three-layer welding effectively prevents problems such as weld cracking and structural loosening. Multi-layer welding reduces gaps, preventing moisture and salt spray from entering the internal structure, thereby extending the service life of components.

[0025] This specification provides a vehicle including an exterior rearview mirror, the vehicle further including the exterior rearview mirror mounting structure as described above, the exterior rearview mirror being fixedly connected to the rearview mirror mounting position.

[0026] The above-mentioned technical solutions adopted in this specification can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0027] By creating a cavity structure between the reinforcing crossbeam and the inner door panel, and installing the crossbeam reinforcing plate inside the cavity structure, the crossbeam reinforcing plate supports and strengthens the reinforcing crossbeam to enhance its strength. At the same time, the reinforcing crossbeam and the crossbeam reinforcing plate are at least partially attached to each other, forming a double-layer structure. This attached part (i.e., the double-layer structure part) forms the rearview mirror mounting position, which can improve the rigidity and structural stability of the vehicle's exterior rearview mirror mounting structure.

This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model.

[0049] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0050] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0051] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0052] In embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0053] The technical solutions provided in the various embodiments of this specification are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a vehicle exterior rearview mirror mounting structure provided in this specification. Figure 1 As shown, the exterior rearview mirror mounting structure includes a reinforcing crossbeam 1, a crossbeam reinforcing plate 2, a door inner panel 3, and a door inner panel reinforcing plate 4. The door inner panel reinforcing plate 4 is approximately conformal to the shape of the door inner panel 3, allowing them to be fitted together and fixedly connected. Of course, the method of fixing the door inner panel reinforcing plate 4 to the door inner panel 3 can be welding, riveting, or bolting; this specification does not impose any restrictions, and the method can be chosen according to the actual situation. Therefore, in this way, the door inner panel reinforcing plate 4 can be used to strengthen the door 3.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, a cavity structure 5 is formed between the reinforcing crossbeam 1 and the inner door panel 3, and the crossbeam reinforcing plate 2 is located within the cavity structure 5. The crossbeam reinforcing plate 2 abuts against the reinforcing crossbeam 1 to support the reinforcing crossbeam 1 within the cavity structure 5. Furthermore, the reinforcing crossbeam 1 and the crossbeam reinforcing plate 2 are at least partially in contact, and a rearview mirror mounting position is formed at the contact point between the reinforcing crossbeam 1 and the crossbeam reinforcing plate 2 to facilitate the installation of the rearview mirror through this mounting position.

[0056] like Figure 1 The exterior rearview mirror mounting structure shown uses a lightweight design to support and reinforce the crossbeam. This not only reduces the overall weight of the exterior rearview mirror mounting structure, but also forms a cavity structure between the crossbeam and the inner door panel, which improves the rigidity and structural stability of the exterior rearview mirror mounting structure.

[0057] Furthermore, in one or more embodiments of this specification, such as Figure 1 As shown, the reinforcing beam 1 has a mounting step 11 for installing a rearview mirror, serving as a rearview mirror mounting position. Figure 1 As shown from the perspective, the mounting step 11 also has rearview mirror mounting holes 111 of varying sizes, so that components on the rearview mirror can be inserted into the rearview mirror mounting holes 111 and fixedly connected to the rearview mirror mounting structure. Furthermore, since the reinforcing beam 1 and the beam reinforcing plate 2 are at least partially in contact, a rearview mirror mounting position is formed at the contact point between the reinforcing beam 1 and the beam reinforcing plate 2. Therefore, as... Figure 2As shown, the crossbeam reinforcing plate 2 has a deformable portion 21 that fits into the mounting step 11. Both the mounting step 11 and the deformable portion 21 have corresponding rearview mirror mounting holes 111. The mounting step 11 and the deformable portion 21 are welded together to form a two-layer welded structure. During vehicle operation, the rearview mirror is subjected to dynamic loads such as wind resistance and bumps. The two-layer welded structure effectively prevents loosening or fatigue fracture caused by vibration. Interlayer welding reduces gaps, prevents moisture and dust from entering, avoids internal corrosion, and improves the environmental adaptability and durability of the components. By using thinner materials and optimizing the welding process, insufficient strength is compensated for, achieving the goal of "weight reduction without performance reduction."

[0058] The design of the mounting steps and deformation sections ensures a tighter fit and more accurate alignment between the crossbeam reinforcement plate and the reinforcing crossbeam, optimizing the internal cavity space of the rearview mirror mounting structure. The cooperation between the deformation section and the mounting steps effectively prevents the crossbeam reinforcement plate from shifting or loosening during installation or use, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability of the rearview mirror installation. The deformation section is designed to adapt to the shape of the mounting steps, allowing for a larger contact area and more even stress distribution. This structure helps to disperse vibration and impact loads experienced by the rearview mirror during driving, reducing local stress concentration and enhancing the overall structural durability and fatigue resistance. Furthermore, because the mounting steps and deformation sections are closely fitted, the corresponding rearview mirror mounting holes on both can better ensure positional consistency and coaxiality, thus guaranteeing the angular accuracy and operational stability of the rearview mirror after installation.

[0059] Further reference Figure 1 and Figure 10The reinforcing beam 1 has a first fixing connector 12 formed on at least one side along its length (the actual length of the vehicle during installation). This first fixing connector 12 is fixedly connected to the inner door panel 3. The fixing connection between the first fixing connector 12 and the inner door panel 3 can be a three-layer welded structure. It is worth noting that this three-layer welded structure can be formed by sequentially welding the first fixing connector 12, the inner door panel reinforcing plate 4, and the inner door panel 3 together. Alternatively, the three-layer welded structure can also be formed by sequentially welding the first fixing connector 12, the beam reinforcing plate 2, and the inner door panel 3 together. Or, a portion of the first fixing connector 12 forms a three-layer welded structure with the inner door panel reinforcing plate 4 and the inner door panel 3, while another portion of the first fixing connector 12 forms a three-layer welded structure with the beam reinforcing plate 2 and the inner door panel 3. The three-layer welding increases the welding contact area and enhances the overall load-bearing capacity of the connection, making it particularly suitable for complex stress environments such as shear force and bending moment. During long-term vehicle use, the rearview mirror area is continuously subjected to dynamic loads such as wind resistance, vibration, and bumps. Triple-layer welding effectively prevents problems such as weld cracking and structural loosening. Multi-layer welding reduces gaps, preventing moisture and salt spray from entering the internal structure, thereby extending the service life of components.

[0060] By connecting and fixing one side of the reinforced crossbeam to the inner door panel with a first fixed connector, the installation rigidity of the rearview mirror mounting area at the reinforced crossbeam is improved, enhancing stability. This helps resist bending moments and shear forces generated by external forces such as wind resistance and vibration during vehicle operation. This design allows the external load borne by the rearview mirror to be more effectively transferred from the reinforced crossbeam to the inner door panel through the first fixed connector, avoiding localized stress concentration and improving structural durability. Installing connectors on both sides or one side of the reinforced crossbeam can, to some extent, prevent the crossbeam from torturing under load, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the rearview mirror mounting platform.

[0061] Furthermore, at least one side of the reinforcing beam 1 in the height direction (the height direction of the vehicle during actual installation) is provided with a second fixing connector 13, which is fixedly connected to the door inner panel reinforcing plate 4.

[0062] By reinforcing one side of the crossbeam, a second fixing connector is formed that is fixedly connected to the door inner panel reinforcement plate. The second fixing connector connects the reinforcing crossbeam and the door inner panel reinforcement plate together, making the entire rearview mirror mounting structure form a more stable overall frame, further improving the installation rigidity of the rearview mirror mounting area at the reinforcing crossbeam and enhancing stability.

[0063] In one or more embodiments of this specification, such as Figure 2As shown, a third fixed connector 22 and a fourth fixed connector 23 are formed on opposite sides of the deformable portion 21 on the crossbeam reinforcing plate 2.

[0064] Among them, comparison and reference Figure 1 The third fixing connector 22 is fixedly connected to the inner door panel reinforcement plate 4. The fourth fixing connector 23 is partially fixedly connected to both the inner door panel reinforcement plate 4 and the inner door panel 3; that is, one part of the fourth fixing connector 23 is fixedly connected to the inner door panel reinforcement plate 4, and the other part is fixedly connected to the inner door panel 3. The fourth fixing connector 23 and the inner door panel 3 can be welded together to form a two-layer welded structure. The fourth fixing connector 23 can also be welded to the inner door panel reinforcement plate 4, and during welding, it will also be welded to the inner door panel 3, forming a three-layer welded structure in which the fourth fixing connector 23, the inner door panel reinforcement plate 4, and the inner door panel 3 are sequentially bonded together.

[0065] Furthermore, at least one of the other two sides of the deformable portion 21 has a fifth fixed connector 24 formed thereon. For example... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fifth fixed connector 24 located on the other side is fixedly connected between the reinforcing crossbeam 1 and the inner door panel 3 to fix the reinforcing crossbeam 1 and the inner door panel 3.

[0066] Therefore, the deformable part 21 can be attached to and fixedly connected to the reinforcing beam 1 through the third fixing connector 22, the fourth fixing connector 23, and the fifth fixing connector 24. The beam reinforcing plate 2 can be fixedly connected to the cavity structure 5 through the third fixing connector 22, the fourth fixing connector 23, and the fifth fixing connector 24.

[0067] The crossbeam reinforcement plate is securely connected to the cavity structure formed between the reinforcing crossbeam and the inner door panel via a third, fourth, and fifth fixing connector. This multi-point fixing method effectively prevents loosening caused by vibration and impact. External loads (such as wind resistance and collision forces) can be transferred to the inner door panel, the inner door panel reinforcement plate, and the reinforcing crossbeam through multiple paths, avoiding overloading of a single structure. Even if one connection fails, the remaining connections can still maintain the basic structural integrity, improving the overall vehicle safety performance. Achieving higher structural strength through multi-point reinforcement without increasing material thickness aligns with the trend of lightweight automotive development.

[0068] In one or more embodiments of this specification, such as Figure 2As shown, reinforcing ribs (25, 26) are also formed on the crossbeam reinforcing plate 2. The reinforcing ribs (25, 26) extend between the deformable portion 21 and the fourth fixed connector 23. That is, one end of the reinforcing ribs 25 and 26 is connected to the deformable portion 21, and the other end is connected to the fourth fixed connector 23. The ends of the reinforcing ribs 25 and 26 connected to the deformable portion 21 can be considered as resting against the reinforcing crossbeam 1; therefore, the reinforcing ribs 25 and 26 can be configured to support the reinforcing crossbeam 1.

[0069] As a typical structural reinforcement method, stiffeners can significantly improve the bending and torsional resistance of the crossbeam reinforcement plate, enabling it to better support the reinforced crossbeam. The stiffeners effectively guide the force from the deformed portion to the fourth fixed connector, and then transfer it to the inner door panel and the inner door panel reinforcement plate, forming a multi-level force transmission path and avoiding localized stress concentration. The presence of stiffeners enhances the supporting effect of the crossbeam reinforcement plate on the reinforced crossbeam, especially under external forces (such as wind resistance, collisions, and vibrations), effectively preventing the reinforced crossbeam from bending or displacing. Improving strength through structural optimization (such as the use of stiffeners) with limited material usage aligns with the modern trend of lightweight automotive components.

[0070] In summary, it is worth noting that the fixed connection methods mentioned in this specification can be welding, bolt / nut connection, riveting, etc. There are no restrictions in this specification, and the method can be set according to the actual situation.

[0071] It is worth noting that, in order to better explain the installation structure of the exterior rearview mirror provided in this manual, structural diagrams of the reinforcing crossbeam 1, the crossbeam reinforcing plate 2, the inner door panel 3, and the inner door panel reinforcing plate 4 are also provided in this manual, as shown below. Figure 5 —As shown in Figure 8. Secondly, a schematic diagram of the exterior rearview mirror mounting structure when facing the rear door is also provided.

[0073] Figure 5The reinforced crossbeam 1 shown includes a mounting step 11 with rearview mirror mounting holes 111 of varying sizes. A first fixing member 12 is formed on at least one side of the mounting step 11, along the length of the vehicle, and the mounting step 11 is recessed relative to the plane of the first fixing member 12. A second fixing member 13 is also formed on at least one side of the reinforced crossbeam 1 along the height of the vehicle, and is fixedly connected to the door inner panel reinforcement plate 4.

[0074] Figure 6 The displayed beam reinforcement plate 2 includes a deformable portion 21, and a third fixing member 22 and a fourth fixing member 23 formed on opposite sides of the deformable portion 21. At least one of the other two sides of the deformable portion 21 has a fifth fixing member 24 formed on one side. Reinforcing ribs (25, 26) are also formed between the deformable portion 21 and the fourth fixing member 23 to support the reinforced beam 1.

Figure 5 , Figure 6 Individual presentations from the same perspective. Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 By attaching them one by one, they can be assembled. Figure 1 The image shows the mounting structure for the vehicle's exterior rearview mirror. It is worth noting that, for... Figure 5 —The description of each component and the relationships between them shown in section 8 can be found in the above. Figure 1 The description of —4 will not be repeated here.

[0076] To facilitate understanding of the installation position of the exterior rearview mirror mounting structure inside the vehicle door, the following diagram illustrates the installation position of the exterior rearview mirror mounting structure inside the vehicle door from the same viewing angle. Figure 9 And a diagram showing the installation of exterior rearview mirrors. Figure 10 Based on the two figures, Figure 10 Compared to Figure 9 The vehicle now includes an exterior rearview mirror 6 and an outer door panel. The interior of the door is located inside the outer door panel, which includes a reinforcing crossbeam 1, a crossbeam reinforcing plate 2, an inner door panel 3, and an inner door panel reinforcing plate 4. The exterior rearview mirror 6 passes through the outer door panel and is mounted on the rearview mirror mounting position on the reinforcing crossbeam 1.

[0077] This specification also provides a vehicle including an exterior rearview mirror 6 and the aforementioned exterior rearview mirror mounting structure, wherein the exterior rearview mirror 6 can be fixedly connected to the rearview mirror mounting position. By supporting and reinforcing the reinforcing beam with a lightweight design reinforcing plate, not only can the overall weight of the exterior rearview mirror mounting structure be reduced, but the cavity structure formed between the reinforcing beam and the inner door panel can also improve the rigidity and structural stability of the exterior rearview mirror mounting structure.
