Detailed Description
Fig. 1 shows a schematic perspective view of an exterior rear view mirror for a vehicle according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the exterior mirror 10 includes a mirror housing 1 and a mirror base 2, and the mirror base 2 is used to connect the mirror housing 1 to a vehicle body of a vehicle. The outer surface of the mirror base 2 is covered with a multi-layer film structure 21 which can change the shape. The multilayer film structure 21 is configured to be closely attached to the outer surface of the mirror base 2 when the vehicle speed is lower than a preset speed, and to be shaped according to the vehicle speed and the noise in the vehicle when the vehicle speed is higher than or equal to the preset speed, thereby guiding the air flow passing through the exterior mirror to flow below the window of the vehicle.
According to the scheme of the invention, the outer surface of the rearview mirror base 2 is coated with the multilayer film structure 21, when the vehicle speed is lower than a preset speed, the multilayer film structure 21 is tightly attached to the outer surface of the rearview mirror base 2, so that the original structure of the rearview mirror base 2 of the vehicle is not changed visually, the attractiveness of the rearview mirror base 2 is still kept, and when the vehicle speed is higher than the preset speed, the multilayer film structure 21 can change the shape according to the vehicle speed and the condition of noise in the vehicle, so that the wind noise is reduced. Therefore, the rearview mirror base 2 can meet the requirements of attractiveness and wind noise reduction, and the requirements of not influencing the attractiveness of the rearview mirror at low speed and reducing the wind noise at high speed are met. In addition, when the vehicle speed is higher than the preset speed, the shape of the multilayer film structure 21 can be adjusted according to the vehicle speed and the noise condition in the vehicle, so that the requirement of wind noise optimization at different vehicle speeds can be met, and the technical problem that the wind noise optimization can only be performed at a certain vehicle speed in the prior art is solved.
In one embodiment, the multilayer film structure 21 is configured to be capable of generating streamline shapes in different directions under different vehicle speeds and different in-vehicle noises when the vehicle speed is higher than or equal to a preset speed. The preset speed may be, for example, 60km/h, 70km/h, 80km/h, 90km/h or 100km/h, or any other value within 60-100 km/h. The specific value of the preset speed can be determined according to the vehicle type, and is generally 60 km/h.
In this embodiment, when the vehicle speed is higher than or equal to the preset speed, the multilayer film structure 21 may have a streamline shape in different directions under different vehicle speeds and different vehicle interior noises, and thus, the shape of the mirror base 2 may be changed. At this time, the rearview mirror base 2 can be regarded as including the base body 22 and the multilayer film structure 21 covering the outer surface of the base body 22, when the shape of the multilayer film structure 21 is changed, the shape of the rearview mirror base 2 is changed naturally, so that the outer surface of the rearview mirror base 2 presents streamline shapes in different directions at different vehicle speeds and in-vehicle noises. Therefore, the requirement of wind noise optimization under different vehicle speeds can be met.
Fig. 2 shows a partially schematic structural view of an exterior mirror for a vehicle with a mirror case removed, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in which a structure of a multilayer film structure 21 in a developed state is shown. FIG. 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional view taken along section line A-A of FIG. 2, wherein a three-layer inflatable membrane is taken as an example. As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the multilayer film structure 21 is coated on at least a part of the outer surface of the base body 22. The periphery of the multilayer film structure 21 and the base body 22 may be connected and sealed by adhesion. The multilayer film structure 21 is composed of a plurality of inflatable films 211 stacked in this order from the inside to the outside. Each inflatable membrane 211 is configured to be capable of being deployed into a streamlined shape in an inflated state.
The multilayer film structure is self-operating, with different portions of each inflatable film 211 having different tensile strengths, so that the inflatable film 211 appears streamlined in the expanded state. Also, the multilayer inflatable membranes 211 are configured such that, in an uninflated state, the tensile strength of the inflatable membranes 211 of different layers is different at each portion in the vertical direction thereof, so as to enable a streamlined shape in different directions to occur when the inflatable membranes 211 of different layers are in an expanded state. The streamline form of each layer of inflated film 211 after being inflated is obtained through wind tunnel test verification, and the aim of reducing wind noise can be achieved within any vehicle speed within the range of 60-120km/h, namely, the multilayer film structure can be inflated according to the vehicle speed and the noise in the vehicle, so that different streamline forms are constructed, and the streamline forms corresponding to different vehicle speeds and/or different noise values are calibrated in advance through the wind tunnel test. The streamline shape is in the front-back direction of the rearview mirror base, the front is low, the rear is high, the upper part is low, the lower part is high, and the specific reference is made to fig. 2 and fig. 3.
The multiple inflatable membranes 211 are arranged to allow only one of the inflatable membranes 211 to inflate at a time, and the configuration of the other uninflated inflatable membranes 211 located at the outer layers of the inflated inflatable membranes 211 changes following the inflated inflatable membranes 211. That is, only one layer of the inflatable membrane 211 is inflated at a certain vehicle speed and a certain noise value, the other inflatable membranes 211 are not inflated, and only the other layer of the inflatable membrane 211 is inflated at another vehicle speed and another noise value, so that the purpose of reducing noise at different vehicle speeds and noise values can be achieved due to the different streamline modeling directions of each layer of the inflatable membrane 211 in the plurality of layers of the inflatable membranes 211.
Moreover, each layer of the inflatable membrane 211 can be inflated to different degrees according to different vehicle speeds and different noise values, namely, each layer of the inflatable membrane 211 can be inflated with different volumes of gas under the conditions of different vehicle speeds and different noise in the vehicle, so that the unfolded modeling has different heights in the vertical direction. It will be appreciated that only one layer of inflatable membrane 211 is inflated at a range of vehicle speeds, with the layer of inflatable membrane 211 being inflated to different degrees at a particular vehicle speed and noise level. For example, if a certain layer of the inflatable membrane 211 is inflated when the vehicle speed is at any one of 60 to 70km/h, the layer of the inflatable membrane 211 is inflated when the current vehicle speed is 65km/h and the wind noise value is 70dB, the layer of the inflatable membrane 211 is inflated, the height of the inflatable membrane 211 in the vertical direction thereof is 2mm due to the gas filled into the inflatable membrane 211, and the height of the inflatable membrane 211 in the vertical direction thereof is 3mm due to the gas filled into the inflatable membrane 211 when the current vehicle speed is 70km/h and the wind noise value is 75 dB.
FIG. 4 shows a schematic block diagram of a system for reducing outside mirror wind noise according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, the system includes the aforementioned exterior mirror 10, a wind noise detection unit 20, a vehicle speed sensor 30, and a controller 40. The wind noise detection unit 20 is used to detect a noise signal inside the vehicle during running of the vehicle. The vehicle speed sensor 30 is used to detect a vehicle speed signal during running of the vehicle. The controller 40 is configured to adjust the configuration of the multilayer film structure 21 of the exterior mirror 10 in accordance with the noise signal and the vehicle speed signal to direct the air flow passing through the exterior mirror to flow below the window of the vehicle. The wind noise detection means 20 may be a microphone, for example, and may be mounted on the vehicle body near the ear of the driver, for example, in the front door B pillar trim. The vehicle speed sensor 30 may be a vehicle speed sensor 30 that is originally configured for the vehicle. The controller 40 may be, for example, an on-board BCM controller 40.
FIG. 5 shows a schematic block diagram of a system for reducing outside mirror wind noise according to one embodiment of the present invention. The system also includes an inflation mechanism 50, a plurality of inflation tubes 60, and a plurality of valves 70. The inflation mechanism 50 is used to inflate the multilayer film structure 21 with gas to change the shape of the multilayer film structure 21. The plurality of inflation tubes 60 respectively correspond to the plurality of inflation films 211 of the exterior mirror 10, and both ends of each inflation tube 60 are respectively connected to the inflation mechanism 50 and one of the inflation films 211. The plurality of valves 70 are respectively disposed on the plurality of inflation tubes 60, and each of the valves 70 is connected to the controller 40 for opening or closing the corresponding inflation tube 60 under the control of the controller 40. The inflation mechanism 50 may be, for example, a blower or other mechanism capable of inflating the inflatable membrane 211. The valve 70 may be, for example, a solenoid valve 70.
The controller 40 is configured to control the target valve 70 of the plurality of valves 70 to open and the other valves 70 to close at a preset vehicle speed and a preset noise value, so as to open the target inflation tube 60 corresponding to the target valve 70 and inflate the target inflation film 211 corresponding to the target inflation tube 60. The controller 40 is configured to control the target valve 70 to close after being opened for a preset time at a preset vehicle speed and a preset noise value to fill the target inflatable membrane 211 with a preset volume of gas. Here, the controller 40 may control the opening degree of the target valve 70 and/or the opening time of the target valve 70 to control the volume of the gas charged into the target gas charging film 211.
The system operates on the principle that when the vehicle speed sensor 30 detects that the vehicle speed is below a predetermined speed, the controller 40 controls the valves 70 to be in the closed state, and at this time, all of the inflatable membranes 211 are not inflated, and the multiple inflatable membranes 211 are tightly attached to the outer surface of the base body 22, so that the rearview mirror base 2 is visually substantially the same as the structure before being covered with the multiple-layer membrane structure 21. When the vehicle speed sensor 30 detects that the vehicle speed is higher than or equal to the preset speed, the controller 40 controls one valve 70 of the plurality of valves 70 to be opened, and as to which valve 70 is to be opened, it is determined according to a specific speed value, for example, when the vehicle speed is a first speed value, the first valve 70 is opened. As for the opening degree and/or time of the first valve 70 opening, it is possible to determine according to the specific speed value and the wind noise value, and finally make a certain inflatable membrane 211 be spread into a streamline shape, and make the height of the certain inflatable membrane in the vertical direction reach a preset height, so as to guide the air flow flowing through the outside rear view mirror to flow below the window of the vehicle.
That is to say, the control method for inflating different inflatable membranes 211 is controlled by the valve 70 at the front end of the blower, different air noise values correspond to different valve opening switches, and then the inflatable membranes 211 at different layers are inflated by the inflation tube 60, so that different streamline shapes are formed on the outer surface of the rearview mirror base 2, and the effect of reducing the air noise is achieved.
According to the scheme of the invention, when the vehicle speed is low, the noise of the wind in the vehicle is low, the blower cannot inflate the multilayer film structure 21 on the surface of the rearview mirror, and the outer surface of the rearview mirror base 2 is of a flat structure, so that the requirement of attractiveness is met. When the speed of a motor vehicle is higher, noise in the vehicle is larger, the blower can receive the signal of blast air, and then according to the demand that reduces wind and make an uproar, aerify in the membrane 211 aerifys to different layers, make the surface of rear-view mirror base 2 present the streamlined of equidirectional, equidimension not, and then guide the air current to flow in the door window below, reach the requirement that reduces wind and make an uproar. Compared with the prior art, the scheme can not cause the integral shape of the rearview mirror to be poor at low speed, and the appearance is not influenced. By coating the multilayer film structure 21 on the outer rearview mirror base 2, when the vehicle speed is high, the multilayer film structure 21 is inflated according to the noise in the vehicle and the vehicle speed, so that the air flow flowing through the rearview mirror is guided to flow towards the lower part of the vehicle window, the direct impact of the air flow on the vehicle window is avoided, and the effect of reducing the wind noise is achieved.
Thus, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that while a number of exemplary embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the invention may be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be understood and interpreted to cover all such other variations or modifications.
