Abstract

A vehicle rearview mirror is mounted in an accommodation casing of a vehicle and contains: an electric direction control assembly, a connection plate, a first reflector lens, and a reflector lens assembly. The electric direction control assembly includes a fixing seat and a movable sheet. The connection plate is disposed on the movable sheet away from the fixing seat and includes a first contacting portion and a coupling portion, the first contacting portion has a first plane away from the electric direction control assembly, and the coupling portion has a second plane away from the electric direction control assembly, wherein the second plane is lower than the first plane. The first reflector lens is secured on the first plane of the first contacting portion, and the reflector lens assembly includes a second contacting portion, a universal connector, and a second reflector lens.

Claims

1. A vehicle rearview mirror being mounted in an accommodation casing of a vehicle and comprising:

an electric direction control assembly including a fixing seat and a movable sheet, and the movable sheet beings fixed on the fixing seat and being adjustably rotated to a desired angle;

a connection plate disposed on one surface of the movable sheet away from the fixing seat, and the connection plate including a first contacting portion and a coupling portion arranged on one side thereof, the first contacting portion having a first plane formed on one surface of the first contacting portion away from the electric direction control assembly, and the coupling portion having a second plane formed on one surface of the coupling portion away from the electric direction control assembly, the connection plate further including one surface facing the electric direction control assembly, and the second plane being lower than the first plane;

a first reflector lens secured on the first plane of the first contacting portion; and

a reflector lens assembly including a second contacting portion, a universal connector, and a second reflector lens, wherein the second contacting portion is connected with the coupling portion of the connection plate by way of the universal connector, the second contacting portion has a third plane formed on one surface thereof away from the coupling portion, and the second reflector lens is fixed on the third plane of the second contacting portion.

2. The vehicle rearview mirror as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first contacting portion is integrally injection molded with the coupling portion 1.

3. The vehicle rearview mirror as claimed in claim 1, wherein between the first contacting portion and the coupling portion is defined a stop fringe which connects with the first contacting portion and the coupling portion.

4. The vehicle rearview mirror as claimed in claim 3, wherein the stop fringe has a top face formed on one surface thereof away from the electric direction control assembly, the connection plate further includes the one surface facing the electric direction control assembly, and the first plane of the first contacting portion is lower than the top face of the stop fringe.

5. The vehicle rearview mirror as claimed in claim 3, wherein the stop fringe has a top face formed on one surface thereof away from the electric direction control assembly, and the stop fringe has multiple light sources exposing outside the top face of the stop fringe.

6. The vehicle rearview mirror as claimed in claim 5, wherein each of the multiple light sources is an LED light bulb.

7. The vehicle rearview mirror as claimed in claim 5, wherein a projecting angle between each light source and the connection plate is 15 degrees to 45 degrees.

8. The vehicle rearview mirror as claimed in claim 5, wherein each lightshade is in a strip shape and covers on the top face of the stop fringe.

9. The vehicle rearview mirror as claimed in claim 5, wherein the stop fringe has multiple lightshades mounted on the top face thereof, wherein each of the multiple lightshades is fixed on each light source.

10. The vehicle rearview mirror as claimed in claim 1, wherein another electric direction control assembly is arranged on the reflector lens assembly so that the universal connector is electrically driven to adjust an angle of the second reflector lens.
