[0029] A rearview device according to an embodiment will be described in detail below.
[0030] The Fig. 1A and Fig. 1B illustrate an example of implementation of a rearview device 10 according to various embodiments according to the present disclosure, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the rearview device provided with a sealing structure.
[0031] The rearview device 10 may be coupled to a vehicle 1 and comprise a rearview module 13 for providing a driver with a view of the area behind the vehicle, and a housing 11 for accommodating the rearview module 13. The rearview module 13 may, for example, be a reflective element, e.g., in the form of a mirror. Alternatively, the rearview module 13 may be implemented by an imaging device (e.g., a camera) for imaging a peripheral area of the vehicle 1 and cooperating with a display device for outputting a captured image. Furthermore, a base part 12 may be provided as part of the rearview device 10 and coupled to at least a portion of the vehicle 1. For example, the base part 12 may be connected to a separate receiving structure (not shown) provided on a door of the vehicle 1. The base part 12 may be operatively connected to the housing 11.The base part 12 can, for example, be connected to an actuator, see, for example, the second actuator 210 of . Fig. 2 in the housing 11, and the rearview device 10 can be folded according to an operation of the second actuator 210.
[0032] According to various embodiments, the rearview device 10 can be connected to an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle 1. For example, the rearview device 10 can measure an outside temperature of the vehicle or operate an ambient light in response to a control signal from the ECU. Furthermore, it is understood that the rearview device 10 can be provided with various additional functions. For example, the rearview device 10 can comprise a further actuator, see, for example, the first actuator 200 of Fig. 2 to tilt the rearview module 13 so that the position of the rearview module 13 can vary according to an operation of the first actuator 200.
[0033] In one embodiment, the rearview device 10 may comprise an integrated module, see for example the integrated module 300 of Fig. 2, in which a temperature sensor for measuring an outside temperature and an ambient light can be integrated, such as in Fig. 4. An integrated module 300 and a rearview device 10 having the integrated module 300 mounted therein are described in more detail below.
[0034] According to Fig. 2, the housing 110 may include an interior space 111. Various components forming the rearview device 10 may be arranged in the interior space 111. For example, the first actuator 200 and the second actuator 210 may be arranged in the interior space 111. In one embodiment, the integrated module 300 may also be arranged in the interior space 111. The integrated module 300 may be arranged at a lower region, for example, a z-axis direction of the rearview device 10 to perform an ambient lighting function. For this purpose, the integrated module 300 may include an optical element 320, and the optical element 320 may be connected to an exterior of the rearview device 10 through the housing 110. Light emitted by the integrated module 300 may be radiated through the optical element 320 toward the exterior of the rearview device 10.
[0035] Furthermore, the integrated module 300 may comprise a temperature sensor, see for example the temperature sensor 330 in Fig. 5. The temperature sensor can be arranged in the integrated module 300 together with a light source for the ambient light, see for example the light source 312 in Fig. 5. The temperature sensor 330 can measure an outside temperature of the vehicle 1. In a particular embodiment, the integrated module 300 can include means for preventing the temperature measurement accuracy of the temperature sensor from being reduced by heat from the light source for the ambient light.
[0036] Fig. 3 is a perspective view of an integrated module 300 according to the present disclosure. Fig. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the integrated module 300; Fig. Figure 5 is a view of the integrated module 300 viewed from a different angle; Fig. 6 is a view of the integrated module 300, viewed from below; and Fig. Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the assembled integrated module 300 in a rear view, the cross-sectional view being taken along the line AA' of Fig. 5 may be included. With reference to the Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, the integrated module 300 may comprise all or part of a cover 301, an optical element 320, a lighting module 310, and a temperature sensor 330.

The partition 309 may prevent light and heat emitted from a light source 312 disposed within the first receiving space 302a from being transmitted into the second receiving space 302b in which the temperature sensor 330 is housed. Accordingly, the temperature measurement accuracy of the temperature sensor 330 may be prevented from being reduced by the light source 312.
[0038] According to various embodiments, the lighting module 310 is arranged in the first receiving space 302a. In one embodiment, the lighting module 310 may include a circuit board 311 and the light source 312. The light source 312 may be arranged on the circuit board 311 such that it faces in a downward direction (e.g., a z-axis direction) of the rearview device 10. The light source 312 may be, for example, a light-emitting diode (LED), but this should not be considered limiting. In a particular embodiment, the circuit board 311 may be arranged at an incline in the first receiving space 302a. The cover 301 may include at least a portion of a first protrusion 307 and a second protrusion 308 to adjust an arrangement angle of the circuit board 311.For example, the first protrusion 307 may be inserted into a first opening 317 of the circuit board 311, and the second protrusion 308 may be inserted into a second opening 318 of the circuit board 311. In a particular embodiment, the circuit board 311 may be tilted in the vertical upward direction (+z-axis direction) in the direction of the first opening 317, and the circuit board 311 may be tilted in the vertical downward direction (-z-axis direction) in the direction of the second opening 318, such that the circuit board 311 is tilted. Furthermore, it should be understood that the circuit board 311 may be tilted in various directions.
[0039] In one embodiment, light emitted from the light source 312 of the light-emitting module 310 may enter a scattering region 320a of the optical element 320 and be scattered. In this case, when the light-emitting module 310 is arranged to be tilted, an area of light entering the scattering region 320a may increase, and the scattering of the light in the scattering region 320a may increase.
[0040] According to various embodiments, the temperature sensor 330 is arranged in the second receiving space 302b. In one embodiment, the temperature sensor 330 may be a thermistor, but is not limited thereto. The temperature sensor 330 may be configured to measure the temperature of the outside air.
[0041] According to various embodiments, the cover 301 may include a hole 306. The hole 306 may be connected to the first receiving space 302a and / or the second receiving space 302b. A cable (not shown) may pass through the hole 306 to connect to the circuit board 311 or the temperature sensor 330.
[0042] Referring to Fig. 7, the rearview device 10 may include a mounting structure 30 for the integrated module 300. In various embodiments, the integrated module mounting structure 30 may be provided by a combination of the housing 110 and the integrated module 300.

In one embodiment, the cover 301 may comprise a first mounting portion 303 and a second mounting portion 304. The optical element 320 may comprise a first insertion portion 323a and a second insertion portion 324a. For example, the first insertion portion 323a may be inserted into the first mounting portion 303, and the second insertion portion 324a may be inserted into the second mounting portion 304. To achieve this, a first mounting opening 303a may be provided on the first mounting portion 303 and a second mounting opening 304a may be provided on the second mounting portion 304. Conversely, in a particular embodiment, at least a portion of the cover 301 may be inserted into at least a portion of the optical element 320.The drawings illustrate that the first mounting portion 303 and the first insertion portion 323a are arranged in a first direction (e.g., a +x-axis direction), and the second mounting portion 304 and the second mounting opening 304a are arranged in a second direction (e.g., a -x-axis direction). However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, it should be understood that the first mounting portion 303 (or the second mounting portion 304) may be arranged along the periphery of the cover 301, and the first insertion portion 323a (or the second insertion portion 324a) may be arranged along the periphery of the optical element 320.
[0044] According to various embodiments, the housing 110 and the optical element 320 can also engage with each other. In one embodiment, the optical element 320 can comprise a first engagement region 323 and a second engagement region 324. The housing 110 can comprise a first engagement unit 113 and a second engagement unit 114. The first engagement unit 113 and the second engagement unit 114 can comprise a first engagement section 113a and a second engagement section 114a, respectively. The first engagement section 113a and the second engagement section 114a can be coupled to the first engagement region 323 and the second engagement region 324, respectively.In a manner similar to the arrangement relationship of the cover 301 and the optical element 320, the first engagement unit 113, the second engagement unit 114, the first engagement portion 323, and the second engagement portion 324 may be arranged to enclose the optical element 320.
[0045] According to various embodiments, the housing 110 may include a mounting opening 119. At least a portion of the integrated module 300 may be disposed in the mounting opening 119. In one embodiment, the optical element 320 may be disposed in the mounting opening 119. Light emitted by the light source 312 through the mounting opening 119 may be transmitted through the diffusion region 320a to the exterior of the rearview device 10. Light transmitted to the exterior of the rearview device 10 may function as an ambient light.
[0046] According to various embodiments, a height of a first outer surface 112 on the periphery of the mounting opening 119 and a height of a second outer surface 301b of the optical element 320 may correspond to one another. For example, the first outer surface 112 and the second outer surface 301b may be seamlessly connected without a stepped portion. This may add an aesthetic feature to the exterior of the rearview device 10.
[0047] According to various embodiments, the optical element 320 may include a protrusion 321. The protrusion 321 may protrude from at least a portion of the second outer surface 301b. A seating portion 322 may be formed on the opposite side of the protrusion 321. A height of the protrusion 321 and a depth of the seating portion 322 may correspond to each other. It is advantageous to place the temperature sensor 330 close to the outside in order to accurately measure an external temperature of the rearview device 10. To achieve this, at least a portion of the temperature sensor 330 may be arranged in the seating portion 322 formed in the protrusion 321 that protrudes from a surface of the optical element 320 further toward the outside of the rearview device 10.In one embodiment, the temperature sensor 330 may include an extension portion 331 and a sensing portion 333 for measuring a temperature, and the sensing portion 333 may be inserted into the seating area 322 near the outside to efficiently measure an outside temperature.
