Similarly, patent US4,464, the external mirror having indicator light described in 017, disconnects a connection in order to swing.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the problem to be solved in the present invention is, for above-mentioned back mirror type, design a kind of structure simply and be not subject in use external factor disturb and be easy to swing back mirror.In addition, described back mirror can easily pass through swing and press close to outside vehicle body, and the characteristic of back mirror on aerodynamics also can be enhanced.In addition, even if in its swing position, the outward appearance of this type of back mirror also can be improved.
According to the present invention, the problems referred to above can be resolved by providing a kind of external mirror having indicator light of vehicle, described back mirror comprises one for mirror foot section fixing on vehicle and one the shank part with lens cover and minute surface, wherein, by means of a pendulous device, shank part can swing to front inflection point or post deflection position by mirror pin relatively from installation site, and can swing and get back to use location, pendulous device comprises the two swing hinges with two swing hinges spaced apart from each other, first swing hinge has the first oscillating axle and is connected, second swing hinge has the second oscillating axle and is connected, by means of the first swing hinge, shank part can carry out back rotation between the use location of back mirror and front inflection point, and by means of the second swing hinge, shank part can carry out back rotation between the use location of back mirror and post deflection position.
By means of the two swing hinges with two swing hinges spaced apart from each other, back mirror can gradually swing, thus can arrange the distance realized between minute surface and outside vehicle body as required.The amplitude of fluctuation of back mirror is by the distance that arranges between each oscillating axle and controlled by the relative position (hereafter will be further described) between each oscillating axle.Relative position between each oscillating axle can by regulating the position of swing hinge or being undertaken arranging and optimizing by the adjustment direction of swing hinge on vehicle body.In addition, should be taken into account during the outward appearance of visor after design, no matter where minute surface is in, and the relative position between minute surface and mirror pin all drops to minimum on air resistance.
By by means of the first swing hinge, minute surface can carry out back rotation between the use location of back mirror and front inflection point, and by means of the second swing hinge, minute surface can carry out back rotation between the use location of back mirror and post deflection position, therefore, the swing position of back mirror can be set individually through the relative position between adjustment oscillating axle and minute surface.Further, swinging path by arranging, making back mirror can swing to front inflection point from use location; Equally, swing path by arranging, back mirror also can swing to post deflection position from use location.This Liang Tiao road warp can be asymmetric, also can be mutually through.
In general by the spacing between each oscillating axle and/or the relative position between these oscillating axles, and according to factors such as the installation site of back mirror in vehicle, spacing between back mirror and outside vehicle body, arrange and swing path, and be optimized according to the actual type of vehicle.Equally, under various different swing orientation, and/or according to the installation site of back mirror on vehicle body, the relative position between mirror pin and minute surface can be set, and be optimized according to the actual type of vehicle.
Preferably, in the process of shank part by means of the swing of two swing hinge relative mirror foot section motion, the relative position between two oscillating axles does not change.The designs simplification of pendulous device can be made by this measure, and be not subject to the interference of external factor.Between shank part and mirror foot section, opposing oscillatory at an arbitrary position also becomes simple, is not subject to external factor interference, and does not need to construct for this reason or disconnect to swing to connect.
Two swing hinges each other can be spaced apart along septal direction, and wherein, septal direction refers to the straight line of shortest distance between description two swing hinges.For one at the constant mirror pin in post deflection position and Shang Jun holding position, use location, septal direction between swing hinge can remain unchanged, and swing hinge can turn over first anglec of rotation at front inflection point along the first oscillating axle in oscillating axle system, first anglec of rotation should be greater than 30 °, is preferably 90 °.Thus, shank part correspondingly can keep interval between front inflection point and mirror foot section, and can install a Connection Element on mirror pin, for fixed outer back mirror on vehicle body.This Connection Element can extend along closure towards outside vehicle body on installation site.Preferably, when swing hinge is on the post deflection position and use location of shank part, its septal direction will rotate the second angle towards closure.According to the particular case of different vehicle, the size of the second angle of rotation can be optimized.The size of the second angle of rotation between 45 ° to 110 °, preferably, between 70 ° to 100 °, and can be 90 ° in the ideal situation.Between post deflection position and use location, and on the installation site of mirror foot section, all need not septal direction be set, at least directly can points to the opposite sense that vehicle travels.Thus, in hypsokinesis position of rotation, swing hinge and shank part can be located closer to bodywork surface, and thus the characteristic on aerodynamics can be improved.
Preferably, pendulous device comprises the hinged block of a fish tail shape, and described hinged block has a swing hinge swingable, to be used for connecting a shank part and mirror pin supporting construction in other words.Therefore septal direction can be consistent with the longitudinal direction of the hinged block of fishtail, and the longitudinal direction of hinged block at least in most cases can be vertical with oscillating axle.Preferably, mirror foot section is installed on hinged block by supporting construction and is arranged in that one end of first swing hinge and can rotates; Shank part is then installed on by supporting construction that other end that hinged block is arranged in second swing hinge, and can rotate.The size of hinged block can be reduced by this measure, and simplify the shape of hinged block.Under normal circumstances, stabilized conditions is in order to make swing hinge, fishtail hinged block is generally preferably designed for bulk, and swing hinge can be constructed to the shape of the lifting hinge commonly used, and shank part is to be positioned at the installation site above hinged block fastening by hinged block, so the upper part of hinged block also just can be covered within shank part.Preferably, hinged block is monolithic.
When two oscillating axles are installed, can tilt each other.In addition, these two oscillating axles can also intersect or interlock.If two oscillating axles are in intersection location, then inevitable inclination mutually between them.Due to this inclination installation site of oscillating axle, shank part is in swing process, also slightly can move together with lens cover, in this moving process, shank part may encounter outside vehicle body (because the outside vehicle body of current vehicle mostly adopts the profile of outwardly convex).On the installation site of back mirror, shank part can carry out compound motion, the hunting motion around z-axis, x-axis, y-axis can be resolved into, wherein around the hunting motion of y-axis according to the structure situation of reality, motion amplitude can reach maximum (concept such as " S. A. " and " swaying direction " herein in said x, y, z three axle and frame of axis, consistent with concept conventional in vehicle manufacturing industry, namely namely the direction of x-axis refers to the travel direction of vehicle, y-axis refers to direction vertical with vehicle heading in horizontal surface, and z-axis then refers to vertical direction).Therefore, under the prerequisite not affecting rear-view mirror function, the shank part of back mirror near-earth of can trying one's best presses close to the crowning of outside vehicle body, or presses close to the window locations (preferably near window locations) on side door.When installation two oscillating axles, should be preferably and mutually arrange obliquely, when making on the installation site of back mirror in vehicle, two oscillating axles can demonstrate major directional component along z-axis, and can intersect above back mirror or staggered.The swing fortune motion of back mirror adapts with the conventional convex surface of body exterior, and the convexity of bodywork surface below back mirror reaches amplitude peak.Back mirror is when swinging, and the shank part on post deflection position and a direction component are to lower swing, and the shank part on front inflection point and a direction component upwards swing.
Two oscillating axles, relative to the first plane, form one by the first oscillating axle and the second oscillating axle and its a intersection point and are less than 45 °, are preferably less than first angle of 25 °.Preferably, two oscillating axles on the installation site of back mirror, preferably with first plane parallel with the first oscillating axle for reference plane, jointly rotate up.In addition, these two S. A.s should guarantee that the direction that it can be parallel with back mirror front is moved after being arranged in hinged block.For this reason, hinged block can be a kind of double-vane shape, wherein each wing is furnished with a swing hinge, and the angle that both wings can be the second angle with size each other tilts slightly, and the preferential method of calculating of size of the second angle is 180 ° and deducts the first angle value.Therefore, the volume of hinged block can advantageously be reduced.
In to back mirror shank part and mirror pin, the opposing oscillatory on installation site moves and does to optimize further, the first oscillating axle turns over relative to the plane comprising lens cover longitudinal axis the angle that is less than 90 °.
Second oscillating axle can relative to second plane vertical with the first oscillating axle, turns over one and is less than 45 °, is preferably less than 20 °, be ideally less than the angle of 10 ° along septal direction.By this angle, inclination angle (this inclination angle is greater than the inclination angle between the first oscillating axle and z-axis) between second oscillating axle and z-axis can be set on installation site, make, when shank part is while swinging around the second oscillating axle, can also correspondingly turn over a larger angle around y-axis.
Mirror foot section can have a Connection Element, and for back mirror is fixed on outside vehicle body, wherein this attaching parts stretches out along closure in the junction with vehicle body from the first oscillating axle.Preferably, make the first oscillating axle turn over along closure the 4th angle that is less than or equal to 90 °, make it possible to the leaning angle between adjustment first oscillating axle and z-axis.
Back mirror preferentially can select motor to drive by two oscillating axles, especially can select servomotor, thus back mirror can be made to rotate at present position or pause.Any stall position of back mirror, can design according to braking mechanism.
Mirror foot section can configure a special outer cover, for improving the characteristic of back mirror in gas kinetics.This outer covering on installation site can extend along vehicle heading, and can be preferably designed for taper in shape, is namely tapered from lower to upper.Therefore, back mirror is on installation site, and from aerodynamics, it travels relative wind and can be optimized.On the post deflection position of back mirror, above-mentioned outer cover is by after being interconnected with lens cover, and when forming air-flow body, outer cover and lens cover at least can use respective vertical section for reference plane, make respective line of centers interlaced.Thus, the air resistance travelled in relative wind can be optimized.For this reason, from outer cover to the path of shank part, the air-flow body of open type taper is defined.Minute surface and outer cover constitute the shape of a conventional bent hookwise, and comprise a neck (one end of this neck is connected by supporting construction with the second oscillating axle, and neck outer end can independently rotate) and a bending terminal.
Hinged block, when spread configuration, should be considered, on installation site, at least at an upper portion thereof and along the travel direction of vehicle, outer cover and lens cover can hide most of minute surface.Therefore, be positioned at the hinged block on post deflection position, should be almost completely integrated in air-flow body.Corresponding design can be realized thus.
Under normal circumstances, the installation of shank part and mirror foot section should make it relatively rotate, and makes the back mirror on installation site, at least can not be projected into outside the projection of vehicle body in xy plane in a swing position.For this reason, above at least one in two swing position, shank part, on the installation site of back mirror, when vehicle body is located, should guarantee that whole back mirror is in the projection of vehicle body in xy plane.That is, in vehicle body birds-eye view, beyond the outer contour at least one in two swing position of back mirror not being positioned at outside vehicle body.When external mirror having indicator light is positioned on post deflection position, within projecting plane should be preferably located in, and and keep certain intervals between the external margin line on projecting plane.

Detailed description of the invention
Back mirror 1 includes one and is used for fixing mirror foot section 2 on vehicle body F and a shank part 3, and the latter is arranged on the minute surface 5 in lens cover 4 with a lens cover 4 and one.Shank part 3 swings to front inflection point (see Fig. 7 and Figure 10 a, 10b, 10c) by means of the relative mirror pin 2 of pendulous device 6 from use location (see Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 and Fig. 9 a, 9b, 9c), or swing to post deflection position (see Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 8 a, 8b, 8c) from use location, and use location is got back in swing respectively.
Pendulous device 6 comprises the two swing hinges 7 with two swing hinges, that is, have the first oscillating axle s 1the first swing hinge 8 and there is the second oscillating axle s 2the second swing hinge 9.Therefore, by means of the first swing hinge 8, shank part 3 can carry out back rotation between use location and front inflection point; By means of the second swing hinge 9, shank part 3 can carry out back rotation between use location and post deflection position.
In addition, pendulous device 6 also comprises the monolithic hinged block 10 of a fish tail shape, for constructing swing hinge 8 and 9.For this reason, one end of mirror foot section 2 is fixed by one end of the articulated slab 11 on hinged block 10 in tong-like by the first swing hinge 8, clear opening 12 can be aimed at by the hole heart, and be connected by hinged excellent 13.The other end of hinged block 10 is connected to shank part 3 (, by the back-up block 14 in fastening shank part 3, thus being connected with shank part 3) here, and the clear opening 12 on hinged block 10 can be connected by hinged excellent 13.By this class formation, when by means of two swing hinge 7, mirror foot section 2 swings shank part 3 relatively, two oscillating axle s 1and s 2between relative position remain unchanged.
Swing hinge 8 and 9 is spaced from each other along a septal direction b, and namely gap size equals the long l of longitudinal direction of hinged block 10 herein g.Shown in Fig. 8 a, 9a, 10a, namely shown by the longitdinal cross-section diagram being positioned at the back mirror 1 of installation site on vehicle body A, with changeless mirror foot section 2, position for bench mark, on post deflection position (shown in Fig. 8 a) and use location (shown in Fig. 9 a), the septal direction b of swing hinge 8 and 9 remains unchanged.Meanwhile, it is (shown in Figure 10 a) on front inflection point, can around the first oscillating axle s on two swing hinge 7 1turn over and be greater than 30 °, be preferably first anglec of rotation β of about 90 ° 1.Now, the hinged block 10 be positioned on front inflection point is in about orthogonal position with outside vehicle body A or vehicle window place plane.
On the post deflection position and use location of shank part 3, the septal direction b between swing hinge 8 and 9 can rotate second anglec of rotation β along closure a 2.Second anglec of rotation β 2size can be optimized according to the particular case of vehicle, angle is herein slightly larger than 90 °.
As special find out in Fig. 8 a to Figure 10 c, the shank part 3 be positioned on post deflection position almost leans against on the vehicle window Sch of vehicle F, and wherein minute surface 5 turns to vehicle window Sch.Shank part 2 on front inflection point, rotational steps reaches the place nearer apart from the outside vehicle body A of vehicle F (to comprise protruding lens cover 4 part) on rear side of it, and wherein minute surface 5 overturns outwardly.Thus, in both cases, the rotational steps of shank part 3 is maximum or close to maximum.In addition, as shown in Fig. 8 c, 9c and 10c, the rotation amplitude of shank part 3 between use location and post deflection position is slightly less than the rotation amplitude between use location and front inflection point, because the latter is around longitudinal axis I salso have the rotation that extra, this rotate effect is identical with the rotate effect being benchmark with vehicle x-axis, y-axis.Swing situation directly and vehicle type match, and to adapt with the adjustment situation of back mirror 1 on the use location of vehicle body F, and can according to two oscillating axle s 1, s 2between mutual alignment and they and mirror foot section 2, relative position between shank part 3 and vehicle F arrange and optimize.
