[0022] In this invention, the reference to "embodiment" means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment to other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this invention can be combined with other embodiments.

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a sleeve-type streaming media rearview mirror includes a rearview mirror body 1 and a mounting base 2. The rearview mirror body 1 has a streamlined outer shell, and a display screen 3 is embedded in the front end of the rearview mirror body 1 for displaying streaming media rearview images or other information; the display screen 3 can be an LCD screen or an LED screen. A control board 4 and necessary electronic components are installed inside the rearview mirror body 1. A flexible printed circuit board 41 (FPC) is soldered onto the control board 4, and the other end of the flexible printed circuit board 41 is connected to the interface of the display screen 3 to achieve electrical connection and signal transmission. This connection method adapts to the non-planar layout inside the rearview mirror body 1, eliminates the need for external wiring, and improves safety and reliability.

[0025] The rearview mirror body 1 has a frame-shaped sleeve structure 11 on its back. The inner shape of the sleeve structure 11 roughly matches the outer contour of the original rearview mirror 100, and is used to directly fit around the shell of the original rearview mirror 100. The snap-fit ​​bracket 2 is detachably connected to the rearview mirror body 1, and is used to fit and fix the rearview mirror body 1 to the original rearview mirror 100. During installation, first, the rearview mirror body 1 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the original rearview mirror 100, so that the sleeve structure 11 fits and fixes the original rearview mirror 100; then, the snap-fit ​​bracket 2 is installed on the rearview mirror body 1, so that the snap-fit ​​bracket 2 is connected and fixed to the rearview mirror body 1. The snap-fit ​​bracket 2 can be used to install and fix the rearview mirror body 1 to the original rearview mirror 100, thereby completing the installation process of the sleeve-type streaming media rearview mirror.

[0026] On the housing of the rearview mirror body 1, according to the positions of various indicator lights on the original rearview mirror of the target vehicle model, a recessed cutout hole 12 and a light guide column 13 are pre-drilled. The recessed cutout hole 12 is a transparent opening, facing the information indicator lights (such as the ETC indicator light) of the original rearview mirror. The light guide column 13 is made of transparent PC material, with one end facing the status indicator lights (such as the auto-dimming indicator light) of the original rearview mirror, and the other end facing the driver. After installation, the light from the information indicator lights of the original rearview mirror can be seen directly through the cutout hole, while the light from the status indicator lights of the original rearview mirror is captured by the light guide column 13 and transmitted to the front for the driver to view. Through the designed recessed cutout hole 12 and light guide column 13, it is ensured that all types of indicator lights on the original rearview mirror 100 can be clearly observed by the driver, fundamentally solving the pain point of aftermarket equipment obstructing important visual information of the original vehicle, and ensuring driving safety and the normal use of vehicle functions.

[0027] To achieve a detachable snap-fit ​​connection between the snap-fit ​​base 2 and the rearview mirror body 1, in this embodiment, a snap-fit ​​strip 14 is provided at the upper and lower edges of the rearview mirror body 1. A sliding groove 21 is provided on the snap-fit ​​base 2 at a position corresponding to the snap-fit ​​strip 14, allowing the snap-fit ​​strip 14 to slidably snap into the sliding groove 21. During installation, the sliding groove 21 is aligned with the corresponding snap-fit ​​strip 14, so that the snap-fit ​​strip 14 snaps into the corresponding sliding groove 21; then, the snap-fit ​​base 2 is pushed to slide along the snap-fit ​​strip 14, thus snapping the snap-fit ​​base 2 and the rearview mirror body 1 into place.

[0028] To limit the installation position of the mounting bracket 2 and the rearview mirror body 1, a limiting protrusion 15 is provided on the side of the mounting strip 14 on the rearview mirror body 1. A limiting step 22 is provided on the mounting bracket 2 at a corresponding position to the limiting protrusion 15, allowing the limiting protrusion 15 to abut against the limiting step 22. During installation, as the mounting bracket 2 slides along the mounting strip 14, the limiting step 22 abuts against the limiting protrusion 15; at this point, the limiting protrusion 15 prevents the mounting bracket 2 from being pushed further in, indicating that the mounting bracket 2 has been properly installed with the rearview mirror body 1. The combination of the limiting protrusion 15 and the limiting step 22 effectively limits the installation position of the mounting bracket 2, improving installation convenience.

[0029] Furthermore, to improve the installation stability of the mounting bracket 2 and the rearview mirror body 1, multiple locking holes 16 with at least two holes are provided on the side wall where the rearview mirror body 1 and the mounting bracket 2 engage. A locking block 23 is provided at a corresponding position on the mounting bracket 2 corresponding to the locking hole 16, and the locking block 23 is detachably engaged with the locking hole 16. During installation, when the mounting bracket 2 is pushed to slide along the locking strip 14, the locking block 23 can align with the corresponding locking hole 16; when the limiting step 22 abuts against the limiting protrusion 15, the locking block 23 can also be inserted into the corresponding locking hole 16 for secure engagement. The cooperation between the locking block 23 and the locking hole 16 enhances the stability of the connection between the mounting bracket 2 and the rearview mirror body 1.

[0030] To connect and fix the mounting bracket 2 to the rearview mirror body 1, a screw hole 17 is provided on the side of the rearview mirror body 1. A connecting hole 24 is provided on the mounting bracket 2 at a position corresponding to the screw hole 17. After the mounting bracket 2 is snapped and fixed to the rearview mirror body 1, a fixing screw 5 passes through the connecting hole 24 and is threaded into the screw hole 17 to fix it, thereby connecting and fixing the mounting bracket 2 to the rearview mirror body 1.

[0031] A control switch 6 is provided on the rearview mirror body 1. The control switch 6 is electrically connected to the control board 4. The button part of the control switch 6 extends out of the rearview mirror body 1, making it convenient for the user to press and operate. In this embodiment, the control logic is set as follows: press and hold for 3 seconds to turn the mirror on and off, and press briefly to switch the display screen 3 on / off. In other embodiments, different control logics can be adjusted as needed.

[0032] A horn 7 is installed inside the rearview mirror body 1. The horn 7 is electrically connected to the control board 4. A sound outlet 18 is provided on the rearview mirror body 1 at the corresponding position of the horn 7. The horn 7 is used to play various prompts, warnings and other necessary sounds. The sound played by the horn 7 can be diffused outward through the sound outlet 18 so that the driver of the vehicle can hear it.

[0033] The rearview mirror body 1 is equipped with a memory card slot 8, which is electrically connected to the control board 4. The memory card slot 8 is used to insert a memory card. By inserting a memory card, the sleeve-type streaming media rearview mirror can store driving images captured by an external camera, thus realizing the function of a dashcam.

[0034] A signal line 9 is connected to the control board 4, with one end of the signal line 9 extending out of the rearview mirror body 1. The signal line 9 is used to connect to the front camera, rear camera, or vehicle reversing light signal, etc. The number of signal lines 9 can be adaptively set as needed, and this invention is not limited.

[0035] During installation, first, the rearview mirror body 1 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the original rearview mirror 100 via the sleeve structure 11, like "putting on a sleeve," and its position is adjusted so that the clearance hole 12 and the light guide post 13 are precisely aligned with the original vehicle's information indicator light and status indicator light, respectively. Then, the sliding slot 21 on the locking bracket 2 is aligned with and slid into the locking strip 14 on the rearview mirror body 1. The locking bracket 2 is then pushed to slide along the locking strip 14 until the limiting protrusion 15 abuts against the limiting step 22. During this process, the locking blocks 23 on the locking bracket 2 will also engage with the corresponding locking holes 16 on the rearview mirror body 1, thus achieving initial positioning and connection. Finally, the fixing screw 5 is passed through the connecting hole 24 of the locking bracket 2 and screwed into the screw hole 17 of the rearview mirror body 1, thereby tightly locking the rearview mirror body 1 and the locking bracket 2 together and firmly clamping and fixing it to the original vehicle rearview mirror 100.

[0036] After installation, all indicator light functions of the original rearview mirror 100 are fully retained. Users can operate the streaming rearview mirror via control switch 6; the image is displayed on screen 3, and sound prompts are played through sound outlet 18. Driving videos can be stored on a memory card inserted into memory card slot 8. The entire installation process requires no adhesive or destructive fixing, ensuring a secure and reliable installation; disassembly is equally convenient.
