AI Technical Summary
The heating element of the existing automotive exterior rearview mirror requires riveting metal terminals, which increases packaging space and transportation costs, while also resulting in low production efficiency and making it difficult to automate the assembly of lane change assist lights.
The heating element is a flat sheet without any protruding structure. The conductive lines for heating power supply contacts and lamp power supply contacts are arranged on the heating element, and it is connected to the lane change auxiliary lamp using a contact connector. The metal terminal riveting is eliminated. The mirror, heating element and mirror support plate are fixed with tape. A sealing ring and double-sided foam tape are set to prevent water and moisture.
It simplifies the assembly process, saves assembly costs, improves production efficiency, and enhances the reliability of connections and waterproof and moisture-proof performance.
