Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a capsule type side mirror of an automobile. More particularly, the present invention relates to a capsule type side mirror for a vehicle, To a capsule type side mirror of an automobile which can improve the fuel efficiency of the automobile.
Generally, a side mirror of a vehicle is installed to protrude from a front door of a driver's seat and a front passenger's seat so as to easily secure a rear view of a vehicle when the driver wants to change lanes or backs. It is also called a side-view mirror, a door mirror, or a wing mirror.
Since the side mirrors of such automobiles are protruded from the outer surfaces of the front doors of the driver's seat and the front passenger's seat, not only the quality of the automobile exterior is deteriorated but also the burden of air resistance during high-speed driving is provided. In addition, when a side mirror is broken or separated due to a contact accident or the like, there is a problem that the function of securing the original rear view is completely lost.
To solve these problems, various techniques have been proposed to date.
For example, in US6390632B1 or US5559640A, an integral flat mirror is divided vertically into a plurality of mirror pieces to minimize the width of the outwardly projecting side mirrors, or the angle of reflection is adjusted by tilting the mirror, or a mirror with convex or concave However, the side mirror remains in a protruded state, and none of the above problems can be solved.
As another example, a method of attaching a mirror or a camera to a filler instead of removing a conventional protruding side mirror as in US5235469A or KR200400882Y1 is suggested. In the case of attaching a mirror, the shape of a conventional side mirror Even if the protruding problem still occurs and the function of monitoring the rear side as a camera is substituted for the side mirror, one or more camera mounting portions of a predetermined size must protrude from the outside of the vehicle in consideration of the photographing angle and the like, I can not solve them.
In KR10-1142222B1, a non-protruding type side mirror of an automobile, in which a part of a transparent glass window provided in a front door of a driver's seat and a front passenger seat is formed in a double-pane structure and a large number of mirror pieces arranged in a longitudinal direction are arranged therebetween However, since the installation is complicated and the angle of the mirror pieces is required to be set in order to provide the image of the rear object without being cut off or distorted, it is difficult to manufacture and the transparent window of the front door is replaced There is a problem that is difficult to repair because it has to do.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made in order to solve the problems of the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to improve the air flow at the time of high- The object of the present invention is to provide a capsule side mirror for an automobile which can improve the fuel efficiency of a vehicle by minimizing the resistance.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a side cover for a vehicle which is capable of effectively preventing moisture generated on a reflecting surface from being reflected on the reflecting surface of the side mirror while preventing reflection of raindrops on the reflecting surface of the side mirror, There is another purpose in providing a side mirror.
In addition, the present invention provides a capsule side mirror of an automobile which can vary the angle of a reflecting surface of a side mirror in cooperation with a direction indicator lever or a reverse gear of an automobile, There is another purpose.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a door structure for a vehicle, comprising a front door frame and a front pillar, the front door including a front door, And a mirror mounted on the inside of the capsule such that the reflection surface faces the rear of the automobile and reflects light through the reflection surface to illuminate the shape of the object located on the rear or side of the automobile, A main body having a curved front side of the automobile and mounted on the inside of the front door frame or the inside of the front pillar and in which the mirror is mounted; The present invention provides a capsule side mirror for an automobile, which is characterized by including a transparent cover that is coupled to the capsule.
Preferably, the mirror includes a plurality of multi-split mirrors that are divided into a plurality of multi-split mirrors, and a mirror protruded outside the automobile with respect to the inside of the front door frame or the inside of the front filler, The mirror which is drawn horizontally to the rear side of the automobile and which is led to the inside of the automobile with respect to the inside of the front door frame or the inside of the front filler has a reflection surface in a range of 10 to 45 degrees So that a viewing angle of the display device is secured.
Preferably, the apparatus further includes an angle adjusting unit installed at a rear portion of the multi-split mirror to independently adjust the angle of the multi-split mirror, wherein the angle adjusting unit is controlled by an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) And the angle of the multi-division mirror is adjusted in cooperation with the reverse gear operation.
Preferably, the capsule includes an air inflow hole that communicates with an air vent of an automobile through an air passage provided inside the front door frame or inside the front filler to introduce a cool air or a warm air into the capsule, And an air discharge hole for discharging the cold air or the warm air introduced into the capsule through the air discharge hole.
Preferably, a lens is further provided on the longitudinal section of the transparent cover.
As described above, according to the present invention, by providing a capsule side mirror in which at least a part of the whole size is pulled into the interior of the automobile and mounted, as in conventional automobiles, the whole protruding outside of the front door It is possible to minimize the air resistance at the time of driving at a high speed of the automobile, thereby improving the fuel efficiency of the automobile.
In addition, according to the present invention, since the capsule side mirror is provided so as to have a shape in which the rear part is curved toward the front side of the automobile and the shape becomes sharp toward the rear of the automobile, resistance by the fluid is caused to flow along the surface, Thereby improving the fuel efficiency of the automobile by minimizing the air resistance.
Further, according to the present invention, it is possible not only to prevent foreign matter or raindrops from being reflected on the reflection surface of the side mirror by mounting the mirror inside the capsule, but also to supply cold air or hot air to the inside of the capsule in real time The moisture generated on the reflecting surface of the mirror can be effectively removed so that moisture is generated on the reflecting surface of the mirror.
In addition, according to the present invention, an angle adjusting unit is provided on a rear portion of a mirror mounted inside a capsule, and the angle adjusting unit is electrically connected to an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) of a vehicle, The angle of the reflecting surface of the side mirror can be varied to expand the rear view according to the forward or backward movement of the vehicle.
