Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform smooth movement without forcible movement, by a method wherein mirror forced-pulling shafts are inclinable according to the slanted angle of a mirror in a condition in which coupling of a gear with the mirror forced- pulling shafts for transmission of a power is maintained. CONSTITUTION:Each universal bearing part 1b is formed in a position spaced away from a coupling point between a mirror retainer body 1 and a case 3, and a spherical part 10c formed to the one end of each of mirror forced-pulling shafts 10a and 10b is rotatably coupled to each bearing part 1b. The other end of each of the forced-pulling shaft 10a and 10b is extended into a case through a hole formed in a place in a cover body 3a of the case 3. The forced-pulling shafts 10a and 10b respectively have a rack member 10f, a rack surface 10l of which is engaged with each of gears 9a and 9b, and the rack member 10f is freely located in a position through the working of a leaf spring 10g. This allows improved absorption of inclination of the retainer shafts 10a and 10b slanted along with rotation of a mirror 2.

In other words, a mirror support that supports the mirror from the rear side is arranged and supported on the front of the mirror case so that it can freely tilt, and two electric motors (a motor for vertical axis rotation and a motor for horizontal axis rotation) are usually installed inside the mirror case. ), and one end of each of the two mirror push/pull shafts (vertical rotation shaft and horizontal rotation shaft) is rotated at a predetermined position on the back of the mirror support in a universal joint format. One movably connected end and each other end are connected to the drive system, and by moving each mirror push/pull shaft in the axial direction, the mirror can be tilted in the left-right direction and the up-down direction. Each mirror push/pull shaft has an outer circumferential thread on its outer periphery, and a gear of the drive system having an inner circumferential thread is screwed onto the threaded outer periphery of each mirror push/pull shaft, and the gear is fixed. By rotating in position, the mirror push/pull shaft moves in the axial direction.

However, the above-mentioned general 4-4 construction has the following problems. That is, while the mirror rotates around its rotation center (universal joint portion), each mirror push/pull shaft can only move in one direction from its axis. In other words, since each mirror push/pull shaft is screwed into the inner peripheral screw of the gear, the moving direction of the mirror push/pull shaft is restricted only in the axial direction by the gear. Therefore, when the tilting angle of the mirror is large, the mirror push/pull shaft tends to tilt with respect to the gear, creating an unreasonable force between the gear and the mirror push/pull shaft. There is a problem that movement becomes heavy, and there is also a big problem that when the outside temperature is very low, the mirror push/pull shaft does not move at all and becomes locked. In order to avoid such problems, the threading between the inner circumferential screw of the gear and the outer circumferential screw of each mirror push/pull shaft must be loosened to provide a considerable amount of play, but this will prevent the mirror from stabilizing while the car is running. There is a problem in that a chattering phenomenon occurs and the reflection of the mirror becomes poor.

1] It can be seen that the problem described above is caused by the 4M construction in which the mirror push/pull shaft is completely surrounded by gears and the moving direction of the 'Ck axis is controlled.

Therefore, the present invention does not push or pull the mirror drive shaft using the inner peripheral screw of the gear of the drive system, but instead installs the mirror push and pull shaft outside the gear, that is, the outer peripheral tooth of the gear. to move the mirror push-pull shaft, and to freely tilt the mirror push-pull shaft according to the tilting angle of the mirror while maintaining the connection between the gear and the power transmission reservoir of the mirror push-pull shaft,
The purpose of this is to smoothly move the mirror push/pull shaft without causing any strain on the movement between the mirror push/pull shaft and the gear.

As clearly shown in FIG. 1, each of the presser protrusions 3e, :B has a mirror on the outside of the gears 9a, 9b on the X and Y lines centering on the spherical part 1a and the connecting part 30 when viewed from above. Push/pull shafts 10a and 10b are provided on the outside so as to sandwich them. However, as mentioned above, each mirror push/pull shaft 10a,
10b can be tilted, as best shown in Figure 2.
4, the tip portions corresponding to the shafts 10a, 10b are tapered and configured to make line contact with the back surfaces of the shafts 10a, 10b. By making line contact in this manner, each mirror push/pull shaft 10a, 10b held between the presser projections 3e, 3f and each gear 9a, 91+ is connected to the spherical portion 1a.
Alternatively, it can be easily tilted in accordance with the tilted posture of the mirror 2 and the mirror support 1 which are rotated about the connecting portion 3C. Of course, each gear 9a, 9b meshes with the rack surface 10k of each rack member 10[, so as each gear 9a, 9b rotates in both forward and reverse directions due to the drive of each drive system, each mirror push/pull shaft rotates. It goes without saying that 10a, 10b can be moved as a whole in the axial direction. At this time, the main body 1 of each mirror push/pull shaft 10a, 10b is
The back surface of 0e will slide against the 8 presser protrusions 3e and 3f.

In the above configuration, since the rack member 10f of each mirror push/pull shaft 10a, 10b has a degree of freedom in its position via the leaf spring 10g, the mirror support shaft tilts as the mirror 2 rotates. The tilting of 10a and 10b can be better absorbed. Furthermore, in general, the angle of the mirror 2 is adjusted via each drive system, but in the event of a failure of the drive system, it is necessary to manually adjust the mirror angle, so the above implementation is necessary. According to an example, when the mirror 2 is forcibly rotated manually, each rack member 10f is movable within the box-shaped main body 10e, so each tooth i1i 9a, ! whose rotation is stopped. Overcome each tooth of lb′(
