Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a door mirror of a rearview mirror of a vehicle, which is provided at an edge portion of a door outside a vehicle room and visually confirms the rear and side of the vehicle body.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The door mirror of a car has a box-shaped mirror frame projecting from the outside of the door edge, and a mirror in a substantially vertical position with the mirror surface facing the rear of the vehicle is attached to the mirror frame. It has a structure that shows the rear and side of the vehicle body, and it is widely used because it is easy for the driver to check the rear side of the vehicle body. It has been adopted in most of the four-wheeled vehicles in recent years.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The above conventional door mirrors are for checking the rear side of the vehicle only, so there is a performance limitation that the front wheel part and the side of the front end of the vehicle cannot be viewed.For example, when the vehicle is approaching the road edge, the front wheel is checked. Imperfections or inadequate confirmation of the front part of the vehicle body may cause the front wheel to drop into a groove, etc., or may cause contact or damage to the vehicle body and other equipment.

Further, although the conventional door mirror can adjust the direction of the mirror to a mirror posture capable of producing a preferable image, it has a single-mirror structure and is limited in the protruding size from the vehicle body. When the vehicle is in the mirror position where the driver can see, it becomes insufficient to check whether the two-wheeled vehicle is running side by side to the rear side of the vehicle body, or to accurately check the rear wheel and the vehicle body rear portion when parking. On the contrary, if you set the mirror position where you can mainly check the rear end of the vehicle body and the rear wheels, it may not be sufficient to check the road conditions in the rear, and the image zone can be checked at the same mirror position at the same time. Has a relatively narrow problem. The present invention provides an automobile door mill that solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The automotive door mirror of the present invention that solves the above technical problem is described as follows: "A vehicle door mirror in which a mirror frame attached to the outer edge of the door is provided with a mirror that reflects the rear side of the vehicle body The mirrors of the upper mirror part and the mirrors of the lower mirror part are formed by combining the upper mirror part and the lower mirror part that are joined to each other through a wire, and the mirror surfaces are common in the same orientation. And the lower mirror portion is hung so that the lower mirror portion is rotatable relative to the upper mirror portion attached to the door side and the position of the intersection angle position with the upper mirror portion can be set freely. "Structure" is a feature.

[0006]

[Action]

 The door mirror of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure is characterized by the combined structure of the upper door mirror unit and the lower door mirror unit having the above-mentioned structure, and therefore, when the side portion of the vehicle body is to be accurately confirmed, the lower door mirror unit is rotated. When the mirror is adjusted and set in the required direction, the front wheel and the front side of the vehicle body are projected on the lower door mirror for accurate visual confirmation. Then, in that case, if the upper door mirror section is also set in the mirror direction so that the rear wheel section and the rear side of the vehicle body are projected, a pair of upper and lower door mirror sections allows the entire vehicle side section from the front end to the rear end of the vehicle body. However, the field of view can be confirmed accurately at the same time.

Then, during normal traveling, if the mirrors of the pair of upper and lower door mirrors are set in the same direction, the pair of mirrors forms a common mirror surface, and the rear side of a wide zone can be confirmed. When traveling with the mirror of the lower door mirror section in an intersecting posture in which the mirror surface slightly intersects the mirror of the upper door mirror section, for example, two-wheeled confirmation of the rear side on the traveling path by the upper door mirror section and close parallel running by the lower door mirror section. Accurate confirmation of the rear part of the vehicle, such as the presence or absence of an automobile, is possible at the same time, and the simultaneous confirmation zone with a single door mirror is expanded to provide a wide-angle image.

[0008]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given based on examples. Referring to FIG. 1 showing an embodiment of the present invention, the door mirror of the present invention is a separate upper door mirror unit 1 in which mutual mirrors 5 are joined via a horizontal partition line 3 in the vertical direction. And the lower door mirror unit 2 are combined. The upper door mirror unit 1 and the lower door mirror unit 2 house the mirrors 5 in the individual mirror frames 4, and the mirrors 5 are directed to the rear of the vehicle body. .

The upper door mirror portion 1 is attached to the edge portion of the door 7 by the base attachment portion 6, and the lower door mirror portion 2 is rotatably suspended from the upper door mirror portion 1. The lower door mirror unit 2 has an arbitrary cross angle with the upper door mirror unit 1 and can be set in position. That is, in the middle part of the upper mirror portion 1, a suspension shaft 8 having a base portion fixed to the upper mirror portion 1 is projected downward, and the lower door mirror portion 2 is suspended on the suspension shaft 8. As a result of the operation of the rotation drive unit 9 provided in the mirror frame 4, the lower door mirror unit 2 rotates about the suspension shaft 8 at an arbitrary angle, and as shown in 2A and 2B of FIG. The lower door mirror portion 2 and the upper door mirror portion 1 attached to the door 7 can be set in position with an arbitrary intersection angle.

The upper door mirror unit 1 and the lower door mirror unit 2 of this embodiment each have an angle adjusting unit 10 for a mirror 5 on each mirror frame 4, and the upper door mirror unit 1 and the lower door mirror unit 2 have a mirror adjusting unit 5. The angle can be adjusted individually. Further, the door mirror of the present invention may be provided on the door on the right side of the vehicle body, and the rotation center of the lower door mirror portion 2 may be changed to a position other than that shown in FIG.

The door mirror of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 has the above-mentioned effect. That is, when the lower door mirror portion 2 is set to the position 2A in FIG. 1C, the front wheel portion 12 and the front side portion 13 of the vehicle body are accurately displayed on the mirror 5 of the lower door mirror portion 2, and the driver 11 is It is possible to visually confirm the situation in front of the vehicle body. Then, when the lower door mirror section 2 is set to the position 2B in FIG. 1 (C) and the vehicle travels, the upper door mirror section 1 projects the rear of the traveling road, and the lower door mirror section 2 shows the state of the rear end of the vehicle body. A wide-angle rear side view can be viewed with a single door mirror, which enables safer driving.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the door mirror of the present invention has the excellent performance of visually confirming the front side and the rear side of the vehicle body with a single door mirror and expanding the rear side confirmation zone when driving with the door mirror. This has the effect of preventing accidents such as wheel dislodgement or damage to the vehicle body due to inadequate lateral confirmation of the vehicle body, and further improving the driving safety of the vehicle.
