Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of automotive body parts technology, and more specifically, relates to an automotive exterior rearview mirror mounting structure, a door assembly, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As an important component of the car structure, the exterior rearview mirror is installed on the car door to help the driver observe the situation on the side and behind the vehicle.

[0003] To meet various automotive needs, modern automotive side mirrors typically have mounting holes at the rear end of the mounting bracket, with the front end of the bracket resting on the water-cut mounting surface of the door panel. Because the mounting holes are relatively far from the front end of the mounting bracket, the front structure of the bracket is prone to instability, thus affecting the overall stability of the side mirror installation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an automotive exterior rearview mirror mounting structure, a door assembly, and a vehicle, with the aim of improving the installation stability of the exterior rearview mirror.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle exterior rearview mirror mounting structure, including: A rearview mirror mounting plate is disposed on the outer reinforcing plate of the vehicle door. The rearview mirror mounting plate includes a mounting plate body and an extension, the extension being located on the side of the mounting plate away from the outer reinforcing plate. An exterior rearview mirror, including a mounting base, the mounting base including a seat body mounting portion and a front section mounting portion of the seat body spaced apart along the length direction; The connecting component includes a rear connector and a front connector. The rear connector connects the mounting part of the base body and the mounting plate body, and the front connector connects the front mounting part of the base body and the extension part.

[0006] The solution shown in this application embodiment, compared with the prior art, extends one side of the rearview mirror mounting plate, extending and lengthening towards the end away from the outer reinforcing plate to form an extension; a front mounting part is provided at the front section of the seat body, which fits into the extension and is connected to the extension.

[0007] The rear end of the rearview mirror mounting bracket is fixed to the mounting plate body using the rear end connector, and the front end of the rearview mirror mounting bracket is fixed to the extension using the front end connector, so that the rearview mirror mounting bracket forms two mounting points that are spaced apart along the length direction.

[0008] By adding an extension and a front mounting section of the seat, and connecting the extension and the front mounting section of the seat with a front connector, an additional mounting point is added to the front of the rearview mirror mount. By increasing the number of mounting points, the constraint strength of the connecting components on the rearview mirror mount is increased, thereby improving the overall installation stability of the rearview mirror mount.

[0009] By using the extension to fix the front section of the seat body to the front section mounting part, the cantilever length of the front section of the seat body is reduced, thereby improving the stability of the front section of the seat body. Furthermore, by increasing the coverage area of ​​the connecting components, the constraint strength of the connecting components on the rearview mirror mounting bracket is improved, resulting in a more even distribution of force on the rearview mirror mounting bracket and preventing excessively low stress in certain areas.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the exterior rearview mirror further includes a shield, which has a rear clearance hole and a front clearance hole; the shield is connected to the mounting base, and the mounting part of the base body extends through the rear clearance hole, and the mounting part of the front section of the base body extends through the front clearance hole.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the baffle is used to close and cover the mounting seat, and the baffle is attached to the outside of the car door to increase the degree and area of ​​contact between the mounting seat and the car door, as well as the stability of the mounting seat.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the front mounting portion of the base is a mounting protrusion with a mounting threaded hole; the front connector is a mounting bolt that passes through the extension and is adapted to the mounting threaded hole of the mounting protrusion.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the mounting protrusion cooperates with the mounting bolt to form a front mounting point. By adding a mounting point at the front end of the mounting base, the stability of the front section of the mounting base is improved; at the same time, in conjunction with the mounting point at the rear section of the mounting base, the stability of the entire exterior rearview mirror is ensured.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the exterior rearview mirror further includes: The housing covers the outside of the mounting base; the housing has a protruding fixing part, the mounting protrusion fits against the fixing part and is connected to the fixing part by means of fixing bolts.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the protruding connecting extension is installed while also connecting the front end of the housing, which improves the stability of the front end of the housing while ensuring the connection strength between the housing and the mounting base. In addition, the fixing part passes through the front clearance hole, which limits the fixing part and reduces the installation difficulty.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the mounting plate body has wire-passing holes and connection holes, and there are multiple connection holes distributed on the upper and lower sides of the wire-passing holes; Each of the rear-end connectors corresponds to one of the connecting holes, and the rear-end connectors pass through the connecting holes and connect to the mounting part of the base body. The extension is provided with a front-end fixing hole, which is located above the connecting hole in the Z-axis direction.

[0017] In the above technical solution, when the connecting holes are distributed vertically, the tightening force of the bolts can form force application points on both the upper and lower sides of the wire passage hole. The force application points distributed on both the upper and lower sides evenly distribute the external force on both sides of the wire passage hole, reducing the deformation of the wire passage hole caused by excessive force on one side. Furthermore, the force application points distributed on both the upper and lower sides can reduce the local stiffness reduction caused by the presence of the wire passage hole, preventing the mounting plate body from bending or shaking under stress.

[0018] In one possible implementation, an auxiliary positioning structure is also included, the auxiliary positioning structure comprising: Multiple auxiliary positioning holes are provided on the mounting plate body, and the multiple auxiliary positioning holes are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the wire passage hole; Multiple positioning posts are provided on the mounting part of the base body. Each of the multiple positioning posts corresponds to a multiple of the auxiliary positioning holes. The positioning posts are inserted into the auxiliary positioning holes to limit the position of the mounting base.

[0019] In the above technical solution, the auxiliary positioning structure helps the mounting base to be placed on the mounting plate body, helps the mounting base to be positioned, and improves installation efficiency.

[0020] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a door assembly that adopts the aforementioned automotive exterior rearview mirror mounting structure, and further includes: The inner panel assembly includes an outer panel reinforcement plate, and the rearview mirror mounting plate is connected to the front end of the outer panel reinforcement plate.

[0021] The above technical solution employs the aforementioned automotive exterior rearview mirror mounting structure. By adding mounting points at the front end of the mounting base, the newly added mounting points constrain the front end of the rearview mirror mounting base and increase the overall constraint strength of the connecting components on the rearview mirror mounting base, thereby improving the overall installation stability of the rearview mirror mounting base. By using the above mounting structure to install the exterior rearview mirror on the car door, the connection stability between the car door and the exterior rearview mirror is ensured, providing a guarantee for the stable operation of the exterior rearview mirror during vehicle operation.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the inner panel assembly further includes: The inner panel sub-assembly has a mounting groove located on the side of the mounting plate body, and the mounting groove is used to allow the rear end connector to pass through. The exterior rearview mirror also includes a cover for sealing the mounting slot.

[0023] In the above technical solution, the groove of the mounting slot of the inner panel sub-assembly is blocked and sealed, which improves the flatness of the inner panel sub-assembly and enhances the safety and aesthetics of the door.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the plug is snapped into and fixed to the inner panel sub-assembly.

[0025] In the above technical solution, the snap-fit ​​fixing method can save installation space and facilitate disassembly and assembly operations.

[0026] Thirdly, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle including the aforementioned automotive exterior rearview mirror mounting structure.

[0027] In the above technical solution, the front and rear ends of the mounting base are fixed to the rearview mirror mounting plate respectively, which improves the overall installation stability of the rearview mirror mounting base; ensures the connection stability between the car door and the exterior rearview mirror, and provides a guarantee for the stable operation of the exterior rearview mirror during vehicle driving.

The front of the vehicle represents "front", the rear of the vehicle represents "rear", the top of the vehicle represents "up", and the bottom of the vehicle represents "down". "Inner" refers to the side facing the driver's cab, and "outer" refers to the side facing the driver's cab.

[0034] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 12 This application describes a vehicle exterior rearview mirror mounting structure, a door assembly, and a vehicle. The vehicle exterior rearview mirror mounting structure includes a rearview mirror mounting plate, an exterior rearview mirror, and a connecting assembly. The rearview mirror mounting plate is disposed on the outer reinforcing plate of the door. The rearview mirror mounting plate includes a mounting plate body 210 and an extension 211, with the extension 211 located on the side of the mounting plate away from the outer reinforcing plate. The exterior rearview mirror includes a mounting base 110, which includes a seat body mounting portion 111 and a front seat mounting portion spaced apart along its length. The connecting assembly includes a rear-end connector and a front-end connector. The rear-end connector connects the seat body mounting portion 111 and the mounting plate body 210, and the front-end connector connects the front seat mounting portion and the extension 211.

[0035] The exterior rearview mirror is installed on the outside of the door, and its mounting base 110 abuts against the rearview mirror mounting plate of the door sheet metal and is fixedly connected to the rearview mirror mounting plate.

[0036] The rearview mirror mounting bracket 110 includes a front section and a rear section. Traditionally, the rear section is mounted on the rearview mirror mounting plate, while the front section naturally fits against the car door. However, because the front section lacks a fixed structure, it suffers from poor installation stability.

[0037] To address the aforementioned problems, this application improves the rearview mirror mounting bracket 110 and the rearview mirror mounting plate. Specifically, one side of the rearview mirror mounting plate is extended, with the end extending further away from the outer reinforcing plate to form an extension 211; the extension 211 is adapted to the inner panel sub-assembly of the door. The length of the extension 211 meets the installation requirements of the front section of the seat. The conventional seat body mounting portion 111 is retained in the rear section of the seat, and a front mounting portion is provided in the front section of the seat, which fits against and connects to the extension 211.

[0038] During installation, the rear section of the rearview mirror mounting bracket 110 is attached to the outer side of the mounting plate body 210, and the front section of the bracket is attached to the outer side of the extension 211. Then, the rear section of the rearview mirror mounting bracket 110 is fixed to the mounting plate body 210 using the rear end connector, and the front section of the rearview mirror mounting bracket 110 is fixed to the extension 211 using the front end connector, so that the rearview mirror mounting bracket 110 forms two mounting points that are spaced apart along the length direction.

[0039] The automotive exterior rearview mirror mounting structure provided in this application has the following advantages compared with the prior art: (1) Traditional rearview mirror mounting plates have only one mounting point, namely, the mounting plate body 210 and the seat body mounting part 111 of the rearview mirror mounting base 110 are fixed by the rear end connector. In this embodiment, by adding an extension part 211 and a front mounting part of the seat body, and using a front end connector to connect the extension part 211 and the front mounting part of the seat body, an additional mounting point is added to the front end of the rearview mirror mounting base 110. By increasing the number of mounting points, the constraint strength of the connecting components on the rearview mirror mounting base 110 is increased, thereby improving the overall installation stability of the rearview mirror mounting base 110.

[0040] (2) Traditional rearview mirror mounting plates only include the mounting plate body 210, resulting in a small contact area between the mounting plate and the rearview mirror mounting base 110. This means the mounting plate can only fix the rear section of the rearview mirror mounting base 110, while the front section suffers from excessively long cantilever arms. The front section of the mounting plate only fits against the water-cutting structure of the car door, resulting in poor stability. In this embodiment, the end of the rearview mirror mounting plate is extended to form an extension 211. This extension 211 is used to fix the rearview mirror mounting plate to the front section of the mounting base, thereby reducing the cantilever length of the front section and improving its stability.

[0041] (3) The mounting part 111 of the seat body and the mounting part of the front section of the seat body are spaced apart along the length of the mounting base 110 and are fixed by means of the rear end connector and the front end connector respectively. By increasing the coverage of the connecting components, the constraint strength of the connecting components on the rearview mirror mounting base 110 is improved, making the overall force of the rearview mirror mounting base 110 more uniform and avoiding excessive local force.

[0042] In some embodiments, the front-end connector and the rear-end connector may use the same connection method or different connection methods. The front-end connector and the mounting base 110 may be connected by a threaded connection, a snap-fit ​​connection, or a rivet connection, etc. Similarly, the rear-end connector and the mounting base 110 may also be connected by a threaded connection, a snap-fit ​​connection, or a rivet connection, etc.

[0043] When both the front and rear connectors use bolts, the mounting plate body 210 and the extension 211 are both sheet metal structures. Threaded holes are provided on the mounting body 111 and the front mounting section of the mounting base 110. Bolts pass through the sheet metal structure and engage with the threaded holes to lock the mounting portion onto the rearview mirror mounting plate. The threaded holes can be integrally injection molded with the mounting base 110 or formed by mechanical tapping.

[0044] When both the front and rear connectors use snap-fit ​​connections, the snap-fit ​​extends into one side of the mounting base 110 through a sheet metal structure that penetrates the mounting plate body 210 and the extension 211. Snap-fit ​​holes are provided on both the mounting body mounting portion 111 and the front mounting portion of the mounting base 110. The snap-fit ​​sequentially passes through the through hole in the sheet metal structure and the snap-fit ​​hole in the mounting base 110, and snaps into and fixes itself to the mounting base 110. The snap-fit ​​engages the mounting base 110 with the rearview mirror mounting plate, completing the installation of the exterior rearview mirror. Alternatively, the snap-fit ​​can be injection molded onto the mounting base 110, with the movable end of the snap-fit ​​engaging with the rearview mirror mounting plate.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The exterior rearview mirror also includes a shield 101, which has a rear clearance hole and a front clearance hole 102. The shield 101 is connected to the mounting base 110, and the mounting part 111 of the base body protrudes through the rear clearance hole, while the mounting part of the front section of the base body protrudes through the front clearance hole 102.

[0046] A baffle plate 101 is installed on one side of the mounting surface of the exterior rearview mirror mounting bracket 110. The baffle plate 101 is used to close and cover the mounting bracket 110, and the baffle plate 101 is attached to the outside of the vehicle door to increase the degree and area of ​​contact between the mounting bracket 110 and the vehicle door, as well as the stability of the mounting bracket 110.

[0047] The baffle 101 is fixed to the mounting base 110 by snap-fit ​​and screws.

[0048] The cover plate 101 exposes the seat body mounting portion 111 and the front section mounting portion of the seat body to the inside of the cover plate 101 via the rear clearance hole and the front clearance hole 102. Here, the inside of the cover plate 101 is the side close to the door sheet metal.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 4 The aforementioned front mounting portion of the base is a mounting protrusion 120, on which a mounting threaded hole 121 is provided; the front connecting piece is a mounting bolt, which passes through the extension portion 211 and is adapted to the mounting threaded hole 121 of the mounting protrusion 120.

[0050] The mounting protrusion 120 is provided at the free end of the front section of the seat and is located on the side of the front section of the seat near the vehicle body. The mounting protrusion 120 is used to abut against the extension 211.

[0051] The mounting protrusion 120, in conjunction with the mounting bolt, forms a front mounting point. By adding a mounting point at the front end of the mounting base 110, the stability of the front section of the mounting base 110 is improved. At the same time, in conjunction with the mounting point at the rear section of the mounting base, the stability of the entire exterior rearview mirror is ensured.

[0052] The mounting protrusion 120 has a cuboid or cylindrical structure and is fixedly installed on the front section of the base body by means of integral injection molding, threaded connection, or snap-fit. The mounting protrusion 120 fits against the extension 211, and its height meets the hole depth requirements of the self-tapping threaded hole to avoid loosening due to insufficient thread count; the mounting protrusion 120 and the extension 211 are connected by mounting bolts to ensure connection stability.

[0053] Optionally, a mounting threaded hole 121 is formed on the mounting protrusion 120. This mounting threaded hole 121 is connected to a mounting bolt to form a front mounting point. Using a self-tapping method to form the mounting threaded hole 121 can correct the dimensional deviation of the pre-drilled hole, reduce assembly defects caused by part machining errors, and improve connection reliability.

[0054] A front-end fixing hole 215 is provided on the extension 211, which corresponds to the mounting threaded hole 121. The mounting bolt passes through the front-end fixing hole 215 and extends into the mounting threaded hole 121.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The exterior rearview mirror also includes a housing 100, which covers the outside of the mounting base 110; the housing 100 has a protruding fixing part, and the mounting protrusion 120 fits against the fixing part and is connected to the fixing part by means of fixing bolts.

[0056] The mounting protrusion 120 includes a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion, which are integrally formed. The first mounting portion has a mounting threaded hole 121. The second mounting portion is integrally formed with the first mounting portion and is located in front of the first mounting portion. The thickness of the second mounting portion is less than that of the first mounting portion.

[0057] The housing 100 is installed on the side of the mounting base 110 away from the door. The rear end and front end of the mounting base 110 are provided with bolt fixing holes, wherein the bolt fixing hole at the front end is opened on the second mounting part of the mounting protrusion 120.

[0058] The housing 100 is covered on the outside of the mounting base 110, and the front end of the housing 100 is provided with a fixing part. The fixing part protrudes towards the side of the door. The fixing part passes through the front clearance hole 102 of the cover plate 101 and abuts against the second mounting part of the mounting protrusion 120. A bolt connection hole 212 is provided on the fixing part. The fixing bolt passes through the bolt fixing hole of the second mounting part and engages with the thread in the bolt connection hole 212 on the fixing part.

[0059] The mounting protrusion 120 is integrally formed with the mounting base 110, and the first mounting part of the mounting protrusion 120 is connected to the extension 211, while the second mounting part is connected to the front end of the housing 100. This ensures the connection strength between the housing 100 and the mounting base 110 while improving the stability of the front end of the housing 100. In addition, the fixing part passes through the front clearance hole 102, which limits the fixing part and reduces the installation difficulty.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 , Figure 9 The mounting plate body 210 has wire-passing holes 214 and connection holes 212. There are multiple connection holes 212, which are distributed on the upper and lower sides of the wire-passing holes 214. Multiple rear-end connectors correspond one-to-one with the multiple connection holes 212, and the rear-end connectors pass through the connection holes 212 and connect to the mounting part 111 of the base body.

[0061] The mounting plate body 210 is a sheet metal structure, with wire-passing holes 214 and connecting holes 212. Connecting holes 212 are provided above and below the wire-passing holes 214. The mounting portion 111 of the mounting base 110 has threaded holes 112 corresponding to the connecting holes 212. The rear connecting component is a bolt, which passes through the connecting hole 212 and connects to the threaded hole 112.

[0062] The structural strength around the wire passage hole 214 is relatively weak. When the connecting holes 212 are distributed vertically, the tightening force of the bolts can form force application points on both the upper and lower sides of the wire passage hole 214. The force application points distributed on both the upper and lower sides evenly distribute the external force on both sides of the wire passage hole 214, reducing the deformation of the wire passage hole 214 caused by excessive force on one side. In addition, the force application points distributed on both the upper and lower sides can reduce the local stiffness reduction caused by the presence of the wire passage hole 214, and prevent the mounting plate body 210 from bending or shaking when under force.

[0063] The extension has a front fixing hole 215, which is located above the highest connecting hole 212 in the Z-axis direction. Figure 9 As shown, the Z-axis direction is vertical. That is, after the rearview mirror mounting plate is installed, the height of the front fixing hole 215 is higher than the height of the highest connecting hole 212, so that the mounting points form a distribution trend of front high and rear low.

[0064] After installation, the base of the exterior rearview mirror fits snugly against the water-cut mounting surface of the door panel. The coordination between the front and rear mounting points improves the uniformity of force distribution along the length of the rearview mirror mount, enhancing its stability and preventing blurred rearward visibility due to vibration, thus improving the driver's experience. The front-high, rear-low mounting point distribution ensures that when the rearview mirror is subjected to downward and rearward wind resistance, the front mounting point absorbs the horizontal rearward component of the wind resistance, while the rear mounting point counteracts the downward component. Furthermore, the different force directions of the front and rear mounting points prevent localized stress concentration on the mounting metal, extending its service life.

[0065] Optionally, the distribution of the connection holes 212 follows the shape of the mounting base 110. For example, there may be three connection holes 212, with two connection holes 212 located above the wire passage hole 214 and one connection hole 212 located below the wire passage hole 214. The three connection holes 212 form three mounting points arranged in a triangle, meaning that the rear mounting point includes three connection holes 212.

[0066] The three connecting holes 212 mentioned above are connecting hole a, connecting hole b, and connecting hole c, respectively. Connecting holes a and b are located above the wire-passing hole 214, and connecting hole a is located on the side of connecting hole b closer to the extension 211. Connecting holes a and b are at the same height, and connecting hole c is located below the wire-passing hole 214. The rear mounting point forms a triangular trajectory, ensuring the stability of the mounting body 111 of the mounting base. The front mounting point on the extension 211 and any two rear connecting holes form a triangular trajectory, ensuring the overall installation stability of the rearview mirror and avoiding local stress concentration.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 The automotive exterior rearview mirror mounting structure also includes an auxiliary positioning structure, which comprises multiple auxiliary positioning holes 213 and multiple positioning posts 113. The multiple auxiliary positioning holes 213 are formed on the mounting plate body 210, and are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the wire-passing hole 214. The multiple positioning posts 113 are located on the mounting portion 111 of the seat body, and each positioning post 113 corresponds one-to-one with one of the auxiliary positioning holes 213. The positioning posts 113 and auxiliary positioning holes 213 are inserted into each other to limit the positioning of the mounting seat 110. The auxiliary positioning structure helps the mounting seat 110 to be placed on the mounting plate body 210, assists in positioning the mounting seat 110, and improves installation efficiency.

[0068] Before installation, first place the mounting base 110 on the mounting plate body 210, allowing the wiring to pass through the aforementioned cable guide hole 214. After positioning, install the rear connector. During positioning, the positioning pin 113 extends into the auxiliary positioning hole 213. The positioning pin 113 and the auxiliary positioning hole 213 cooperate to define the position of the mounting base 110, ensuring that the connecting hole 212 corresponds one-to-one with the threaded hole 112 of the mounting part 111 of the base body. During installation, simply pass a bolt through the connecting hole 212 and insert it into the threaded hole 112 of the base body to lock the base body of the mounting base 110 to the mounting plate body 210.

[0069] The auxiliary positioning structure is used to position the base body of the mounting base 110 and the mounting plate body 210 during installation. After positioning, the threaded hole 112 of the base body corresponds to the connecting hole 212, and the threaded hole 121 of the mounting part at the front of the base body and the connecting hole 212 on the extension 211 also correspond. After the positioning pin 113 is inserted into the auxiliary positioning hole 213, only the mounting bolts are needed.

[0070] The auxiliary positioning holes 213 include two holes, located above and below the wire-passing hole 214 respectively. One hole is a round hole, and the other is an elongated oval hole along the longitudinal direction. Correspondingly, the mounting base 110 is provided with two positioning posts 113, both of which are cylindrical.

[0071] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a door assembly, which adopts the above-mentioned automotive exterior rearview mirror mounting structure and also includes an inner panel assembly. The inner panel assembly includes an outer panel reinforcing plate 202, and the rearview mirror mounting plate is connected to the front end of the outer panel reinforcing plate 202.

[0072] The rearview mirror mounting plate overlaps the front end of the outer panel reinforcing plate 202, and the overlap between the rearview mirror mounting plate and the outer panel reinforcing plate 202 is fixed with bolts. The rearview mirror mounting plate and the outer panel reinforcing plate 202 can also be welded together for fixation.

[0073] The rearview mirror mounting plate extends forward at the end of the outer panel reinforcing plate 202 to support and install the exterior rearview mirror.

[0074] Compared with the prior art, the door assembly provided in this application adopts the above-mentioned automotive exterior rearview mirror mounting structure. By adding a mounting point at the front end of the mounting base 110, the newly added mounting point is used to constrain the front end of the rearview mirror mounting base 110, and the constraint strength of the connecting components on the overall rearview mirror mounting base 110 is increased, thereby improving the overall installation stability of the rearview mirror mounting base 110. By using the above-mentioned mounting structure to install the exterior rearview mirror on the car door, the connection stability between the car door and the exterior rearview mirror is ensured, providing a guarantee for the stable operation of the exterior rearview mirror during vehicle driving.

[0075] like Figure 7 , Figure 10 As shown, the inner panel assembly also includes an inner panel sub-assembly 204, an outer panel support plate 203, etc. The outer panel reinforcing plate 202 is welded and fixed to the outer side of the inner panel sub-assembly 204, and the outer panel reinforcing plate 202, the outer panel support plate 203, and the rearview mirror mounting plate are connected to form an outer panel reinforcing plate assembly, which is used to support the outer panel 200.

[0076] The door sheet metal includes an inner panel assembly and an outer panel 200. The outer panel 200 is installed on the outside of the inner panel assembly and is fixedly connected to the outer panel reinforcing plate 202 and the outer panel support plate 203.

[0077] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, an installation opening 201 is provided on the outer panel 200. The mounting base 110 enters from the outside through the installation opening 201 and between the outer panel 200 and the rearview mirror mounting plate, and abuts against the rearview mirror mounting plate. When the mounting base 110 abuts against the rearview mirror mounting plate, the baffle 101 fits against the outer panel 200, sealing the gap between the mounting base 110 and the outer panel 200.

[0078] The portion of the mounting body 111 and the portion of the front mounting part of the mounting base 110 that extends out of the cover plate 101, that is, the portion that passes through the rear clearance hole and the front clearance hole 102 of the cover plate 101, enters from the mounting opening 201 into the space between the outer panel 200 and the rearview mirror mounting plate, and abuts against the rearview mirror mounting plate.

[0079] like Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 12 As shown, the extension 211 of the rearview mirror mounting plate extends to the front end of the inner panel sub-assembly 204 and the outer panel 200, and is not obstructed by the inner panel sub-assembly 204; that is, the hole in the extension 211 is exposed on the outside of the inner panel sub-assembly 204. When installing the front-end connector, the mounting bolt is directly passed through the hole in the extension 211 and tightened into the mounting threaded hole 121 of the mounting protrusion 120, so that the front end of the mounting base 110 is fitted and fixed to the extension 211.

[0080] In some embodiments, see Figure 11 and Figure 12 The inner panel sub-assembly 204 has a mounting groove 205 located on the side of the mounting plate body 210. The mounting groove 205 is used to allow the rear connecting piece to pass through. The exterior rearview mirror also includes a cover 131, which is used to close the mounting groove 205.

[0081] The mounting slot 205 is formed on the inner panel sub-assembly 204, corresponding to the position of the mounting plate body 210. During installation, the rear connector passes through the mounting slot 205, then protrudes from the mounting plate body 210 and is connected and fixed to the mounting base 110.

[0082] After installation, the wires 130 connected to the exterior rearview mirror pass through the wire hole 214 and the mounting groove 205 in sequence. A cover 131 is also required on the exterior rearview mirror, with a wire hole provided on the cover 131 through which the wires 130 pass. After installation, the cover 131 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 205 from the inside of the inner panel sub-assembly 204 to seal the mounting groove 205.

[0083] The plug 131 and the inner panel sub-assembly 204 are fixed by bolts, snaps, or pull tabs.

[0084] When the plug 131 is fixed by bolts, a hole is made in the inner panel sub-assembly 204, located circumferentially in the mounting groove 205, and a nut is fixed on the outside of the inner panel sub-assembly 204. The bolts pass through the plug 131 and extend into the nut to fix the plug 131 to the inside of the inner panel sub-assembly 204.

[0085] When the plug 131 is fixed by the buckle, corresponding holes are made on the plug 131 and the inner plate sub-assembly 204. The movable end of the buckle passes through the plug 131 and the inner plate sub-assembly 204 in sequence and is locked on the inner plate sub-assembly 204.

[0086] In some embodiments, the plug 131 is snapped into and fixed to the inner panel assembly 204.

[0087] The plug 131 includes a plugging body and an outer flange, with the outer flange circumferentially arranged around the outer periphery of the plugging body. During installation, the plugging body snaps into the mounting groove 205, and the outer flange overlaps around the mounting groove 205 and fits against the inner sidewall of the inner panel assembly 204. The snap-fit ​​fixing eliminates the need for bolt tightening, saving installation space and facilitating disassembly and assembly.

[0088] The cover 131 closes the groove of the mounting slot 205 of the inner panel sub-assembly 204, improving the flatness of the inner panel sub-assembly 204 and enhancing the safety and aesthetics of the door.

[0089] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a vehicle, including a door and an exterior rearview mirror, wherein the exterior rearview mirror is fixed to the door by the aforementioned automotive exterior rearview mirror mounting structure.

[0090] Compared with the prior art, the vehicle provided in this application, by fixing the front and rear ends of the mounting base 110 to the rearview mirror mounting plate respectively, uses the newly added mounting points to constrain the front end of the rearview mirror mounting base 110, and increases the constraint strength of the connecting components on the overall rearview mirror mounting base 110, thereby improving the overall installation stability of the rearview mirror mounting base 110; ensuring the connection stability between the door and the exterior rearview mirror, and providing a guarantee for the stable operation of the exterior rearview mirror during vehicle operation.

[0091] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
