When assembling the rearview mirror arm assembly provided in this embodiment, the camera module 2 is first mounted on the skeleton 12, that is, the bracket 22 is connected with the skeleton 12; then, the first sub-cover 113a is connected to the framework 12, that is, the plug-in posts 1131 are plugged into the plug-in holes 121; finally, the second sub-cover 113b is clamped to the first sub-cover 113a, i.e. the first clamping portion 1134 is clamped to the first clamping hole 1135, and the second clamping portion 1141 is clamped to the hook 1142. Thus, the rearview mirror arm assembly provided by the embodiment is assembled.

When the camera module 2 needs to be overhauled or replaced, the second sub-cover 113b is detached from the first sub-cover 113a, then the first sub-cover 113a is detached from the framework 12, and then the fastening piece 3 is detached by a tool, so that the camera module 2 can be detached from the framework 12 for overhauling or replacement.

The rearview mirror arm assembly provided by the embodiment comprises a mirror arm and a camera module; the mirror arm comprises a cover body and a framework, the cover body is used for being connected with the rearview mirror, the framework is used for being connected with the vehicle body, and a first accommodating space for accommodating the framework is formed in the cover body; the camera module is located first accommodation space, and the camera module sets up between skeleton and the cover body, has offered the through-hole of intercommunication first accommodation space on the cover body, and the camera module's camera lens passes through the through-hole and exposes. In this embodiment, the camera module is set on the mirror arm, and is in a fixed state, so that a shooting angle error caused by movement of the camera in the related art can be avoided, and thus the accuracy of an environmental image shot by the camera module can be improved, and the driving safety of a vehicle can be improved.

The embodiment also provides a vehicle, including automobile body, rear-view mirror and rear-view mirror arm subassembly, the one end and the automobile body fixed connection of rear-view mirror arm subassembly, the other end and rear-view mirror rotation connection. The structure of the rearview mirror arm assembly is described in detail in the above embodiments, and will not be described herein.

It should be noted that, the vehicle provided in this embodiment should further include other components or modules that enable the vehicle to operate normally, which is not described herein.

The vehicle provided by the embodiment comprises a vehicle body, a rearview mirror and a rearview mirror arm assembly, wherein the rearview mirror arm assembly comprises a mirror arm and a camera module; the mirror arm comprises a cover body and a framework, the cover body is used for being connected with the rearview mirror, the framework is used for being connected with the vehicle body, and a first accommodating space for accommodating the framework is formed in the cover body; the camera module is located first accommodation space, and the camera module sets up between skeleton and the cover body, has offered the through-hole of the first accommodation space of intercommunication on the cover body, and the camera module exposes through the through-hole. In this embodiment, the camera module is set on the mirror arm, and is in a fixed state, so that a shooting angle error caused by movement of the camera in the related art can be avoided, and thus the accuracy of an environmental image shot by the camera module can be improved, and the driving safety of a vehicle can be improved.

The foregoing is merely illustrative of the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art will readily recognize that variations or substitutions are within the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model is subject to the protection scope of the claims.
