Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of rearview mirror technology, and in particular to a rearview mirror with AI intelligent voice service function. Background Technology

[0002] Rearview mirrors are safety components installed on the left and right sides and the front interior of a vehicle. They are important vehicle safety parts, and their quality and installation must meet industry standards and specifications. They expand the driver's field of vision by reflecting the road conditions behind, to the sides, and below the vehicle. Based on their installation location, they are divided into exterior rearview mirrors and interior rearview mirrors. Interior rearview mirrors mostly use plane mirrors to provide a proportional image, while exterior rearview mirrors use convex mirrors to expand the field of vision.

[0003] Existing rearview mirrors primarily provide "view of vision" and "light cues," offering poor service and user experience. The entire process of getting into the car lacks a sense of ceremony, leaving the user feeling like they are dealing with a cold, impersonal machine. Therefore, this application proposes a rearview mirror with AI intelligent voice service functionality to improve the car user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] One of the objectives of this application is to provide a rearview mirror with AI intelligent voice service functionality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a rearview mirror with AI intelligent voice service function, including a rearview mirror body and an intelligent voice module. The rearview mirror body is installed on a mounting bracket on the side of the car, and the intelligent voice module is installed in the rearview mirror body and electrically connected to the car unlocking system. When the user unlocks the car, the intelligent voice module is adapted to emit a preset voice welcome message.

[0006] Preferably, the rearview mirror body is further provided with a projection module electrically connected to the car unlocking system; when the user unlocks the car, the projection module is adapted to project a set light pattern onto the ground.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting base is provided with a fixing cylinder, and the rearview mirror body is rotatably mounted on the fixing cylinder. The fixing cylinder is provided with a damping device that cooperates with the rearview mirror body. When the rearview mirror body is manually folded or unfolded, the damping device is adapted to release the restriction on the rearview mirror body.

[0008] Preferably, the damping device includes an operating lever, a transmission assembly, and multiple damping blocks. The damping blocks are slidably disposed on the outside of the fixed cylinder. The operating lever is elastically and vertically rotatably mounted inside the fixed cylinder and is connected to the damping blocks through the transmission assembly. The damping blocks are adapted to abut against the inner frame of the rearview mirror to limit the rearview mirror body. The operating lever is adapted to rotate and drive the damping blocks away from the frame through the transmission assembly, thereby releasing the limitation on the rearview mirror body.

[0009] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a transmission disk and multiple connecting rods. The transmission disk is mounted outside the operating lever, and the two ends of the connecting rods are respectively hinged to the transmission disk and the corresponding damping block.

[0010] Preferably, after the rearview mirror body is positioned, the connecting rod and the corresponding damping block are arranged in a straight line so that the damping block is in a self-locking state.

[0011] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a transmission disc, a plurality of pins, and a plurality of arc-shaped grooves disposed on the outside of the transmission disc. The transmission disc is mounted on the outside of the operating lever, the pins are mounted on the corresponding damping blocks, and the pins cooperate with the corresponding arc-shaped grooves.

[0023] The present application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0024] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., which indicate the orientation and positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of this application.

[0025] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0026] One preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figures 1 to 8As shown, a rearview mirror with AI intelligent voice service function includes a rearview mirror body 1 and an intelligent voice module 5. The rearview mirror body 1 is installed on a mounting bracket 2 on the side of the car, while the intelligent voice module 5 is installed inside the rearview mirror body 1 and electrically connected to the car's unlocking system.

[0027] Understandably, when a user unlocks the car, the AI ​​intelligent voice module 5 within the rearview mirror 1 is triggered, greeting the owner with a pre-set, brand-specific voice message, such as, "Hello, esteemed Mercedes-Benz owner, wishing you a pleasant journey." This not only greatly enhances the sense of prestige and ceremony for the owner when getting into the car, but also reshapes the rearview mirror from a simple visual safety device into an intelligent frontier for proactive service, emotional connection, and brand communication. It provides OEMs with a new solution for creating differentiated high-end user experiences, and can thus become a new technological selling point for major car brands.

[0028] Further optimization, such as Figure 2 As shown, a projection module 4 (i.e., a welcome light) electrically connected to the car unlocking system can also be installed inside the rearview mirror body 1. It is understood that, simultaneously with unlocking the car, the projection module 4 can project a set light pattern onto the ground, such as the OEM's brand logo or a specific welcome pattern onto the ground beside the car door, creating a strong sense of visual belonging and a prestigious entrance ceremony. This multi-sensory synergy of "visual guidance and auditory enhancement" can provide users with a highly immersive experience.

[0029] It should be noted that the intelligent voice module 5 and the projection module 4 mentioned above are common knowledge known to those skilled in the art, and this application is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the specific structure, control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail here.

[0030] In existing technology, some high-end vehicles have automatic folding rearview mirrors, while some lower-end vehicles require manual folding. Especially in cold northern regions, drivers generally choose manually folding mirrors because after rain or snow, low nighttime temperatures can cause ice to form on the rotating parts of the mirrors. Forcing the electric folding function at this time can easily burn out the folding motor, damage gears, or the transmission mechanism. Manually folding mirrors require considerable force to fold, primarily due to a damping system consisting of a pre-compressed spring and its corresponding friction pad. This damping force can be quite strenuous, especially for women, and becomes even more difficult to fold or unfold when the mirrors are frozen.

[0031] To address the aforementioned problems with manually folding rearview mirrors, in one embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a fixing cylinder 6 is provided on the mounting base 2, and the rearview mirror body 1 is rotatably mounted on the fixing cylinder 6. A damping device 7 that cooperates with the rearview mirror body 1 is provided on the fixing cylinder 6. It can be understood that when it is necessary to manually fold or unfold the rearview mirror, the damping device 7 can be used to release the restriction on the rearview mirror. In this way, the user does not need to overcome the originally large damping force when operating the rearview mirror, and the operation process becomes much easier.

[0032] As a further description of the above embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the damping device 7 includes an operating lever 701, a transmission assembly 702, and multiple damping blocks 703. The damping blocks 703 are slidably disposed on the outside of the fixed cylinder 6. The operating lever 701 can be elastically and vertically rotated in the fixed cylinder 6 by a torsion spring and is connected to the damping blocks 703 through the transmission assembly 702.

[0033] Specifically, the rearview mirror body 1 includes a housing 101, a mirror body 103, and an internal frame 102. Under normal conditions, the damping block 703 can be held against the outside of the frame 102 by elastic force, thus limiting the rearview mirror body 1. By rotating the operating lever 701, the operating lever 701, through the transmission component 702, can drive the damping block 703 away from the frame 102, thereby releasing the damping limitation on the rearview mirror body 1.

[0034] It should be noted that the size and number of damping blocks 703 can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the damping force of its limiting action can be adjusted to be the same as the damping force formed by the spring and friction plate in the prior art, so as to ensure that the rearview mirror body 1 can be stably limited.

[0035] The transmission assembly 702 has various specific structures, including but not limited to the following two: Structure 1: such as Figure 6 As shown, the transmission assembly 702 includes a transmission disk 7021 and multiple connecting rods 7022. The transmission disk 7021 is mounted on the outside of the operating lever 701, and the two ends of the connecting rods 7022 are respectively hinged to the transmission disk 7021 and the corresponding damping block 703.

[0036] It is understandable that, such as Figure 6 The diagram above shows the initial limiting state of the damping block 703. When unlocking, rotating the operating lever 701 clockwise causes the transmission disc 7021 to rotate synchronously. The rotating connecting rod 7022 then pulls the damping block 703, causing it to move and retract into the fixed cylinder 6. This separates the damping block 703 from the frame 102, thus releasing the damping limitation on the rearview mirror. Figure 6As shown in the diagram below. Similarly, conversely, after the rearview mirror is rotated and the operating lever 701 is released, the damping block 703 will move back to its initial state under the action of the elastic force.

[0037] Furthermore, when the damping block 703 is in the limit state, such as Figure 6 As shown in the figure above, the connecting rod 7022 and the corresponding damping block 703 are arranged in a straight line, that is, the angle between them is 180 degrees. This allows the damping block 703 to self-lock, further improving the stability of the rearview mirror after damping and locking.

[0038] Structure 2: such as Figure 7 As shown, the transmission assembly 702 includes a transmission disc 7021, a plurality of pins 7023, and a plurality of arc-shaped grooves 7024 disposed on the outside of the transmission disc 7021. The transmission disc 7021 is mounted on the outside of the operating lever 701, the pins 7023 are mounted on the corresponding damping blocks 703, and the pins 7023 and the corresponding arc-shaped grooves 7024 are engaged and slidably fitted.

[0039] It is understandable that, such as Figure 7 As shown, the damping block 703 is initially in its limited position. When unlocking, rotating the operating lever 701 clockwise causes the transmission disc 7021 and the arc-shaped groove 7024 to rotate synchronously. The pin 7023 slides within the arc-shaped groove 7024, causing the damping block 703 to move and retract into the fixed cylinder 6. This separates the damping block 703 from the frame 102, thus releasing the damping limitation on the rearview mirror. Figure 8 As shown.

[0040] It should be noted that both of the above structures can meet practical needs, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a knob assembly 3 can be provided at the bottom end of the operating lever 701. The knob assembly 3 includes a knob seat 301 and a semi-ring buckle 302. The knob seat 301 is installed at the bottom end of the operating lever 701, and the semi-ring buckle 302 is rotatably installed on the knob seat 301.

[0042] Understandably, when not in use, the knob base 301 can rotate and retract onto the knob base 301, and the entire knob assembly 3 is flush with the bottom side of the mounting base 2, as shown. Figure 2 As shown, this design does not affect the overall aesthetics of the rearview mirror, nor does it cause unnecessary bumps due to the protruding knob assembly 3. When it is necessary to operate the damping device 7, the user can unfold it from the knob base 301 by rotating the half-ring buckle 302, and then hold the half-ring buckle 302 to rotate the operating lever 701.

[0043] The basic principles, main features, and advantages of this application have been described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this application. Various changes and modifications can be made to this application without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
