Abstract

A rear-view mirror (1) comprises: a shell (10), the shell (10) being provided with a receiving space (11) and an opening (12) connected to the receiving space (11); a transmission apparatus (20), disposed inside the receiving space (11) of the shell (10), the transmission apparatus (20) having a transmission element (21) and being electrically connected to a power source (23); and at least one first mirror (30), the first mirror (30) being disposed at the opening (12) of the shell (10) and having a reflecting surface (31) and a combining surface (32), and the transmission element (21) of the transmission apparatus (20) for driving the first mirror (30) to rotate being combined with the combining surface (32) of the first mirror (30), so that rainwater or dust attached on the first mirror (30) is thrown off under a centrifugal force produced from the rotation of the first mirror (30). The rear-view mirror implements a function of automatic removal of water drops or dust, so as to ensure the safety of a driver during the travel of vehicle.

Description

Rear view mirror

Technical field

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a rear view mirror, and more particularly to a rear view mirror in which a mirror is rotated by a centrifugal force to generate water droplets or dust on the mirror surface.

Background technique

As shown in FIG. 1 , the rear view mirror 100 of the automobile or the motorcycle is clear, because the rear view mirror 100 of the automobile or the motorcycle is used for the driver to grasp the condition and distance of the rear vehicle at any time. Degree is very important.

technical problem

When it rains, the water droplets will remain on the mirror surface, and the dust will be adsorbed, so that the rear view mirror is dirty and the rear image cannot be reflected. Therefore, the driver cannot accurately recognize the rear condition when the vehicle is running, so that some drivers are in the vehicle. Wipe the mirror while driving while driving, causing an accident. In addition, when the rain is heavy, the driver can only avoid rainwater entering the car by sacrificing the clarity of the rearview mirror, until the rain is reduced or the mirror is wiped again when stopped, while the current state of the art rear view The mirror 100 does not provide any means for automatically wiping or clearing the water droplets and dust of the mirror, so it is not convenient for the user, and there are many risk factors during driving.

In view of the above, how to improve the above-mentioned deficiencies is the technical difficulty to be solved by the creator of the present invention; therefore, the creator of the present invention has been successfully researched and developed based on years of experience in the relevant industry and after many years of painstaking research and improvement. The present invention is to enhance its function.

Technical solution

In view of the above disadvantages, the present invention provides a rearview mirror comprising: a housing having an accommodating space therein and an opening communicating with the accommodating space. A transmission device is disposed in the accommodating space of the housing, the transmission device has a transmission component and is electrically connected to a power source. And at least a first mirror disposed at the opening of the housing and having a reflecting surface and a bonding surface for coupling the transmission component of the transmission of the first mirror to the bonding surface of the first mirror Rainwater or dust adhering to the first mirror is thrown out by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the first mirror.

The main object of the present invention is to use the transmission component of the transmission device in combination with the rear side of the mirror of the rear view mirror. When the transmission device is in operation, the transmission element is used to drive the mirror to rotate, and the centrifugal force generated by the rotation is used to remove water droplets and dirt. Users do not need to open the window to be more focused on driving.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

In order to make it easier for the examiner to understand the contents of the present invention and the achievable effects, the detailed description will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

First, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the rearview mirror 1 of the present invention includes: at least one housing 10, a transmission device 20, and at least one first mirror 30, wherein the housing 10 has an accommodation space 11 therein. An opening 12 communicating with the accommodating space 11.

The transmission device 20 is disposed in the accommodating space of the housing 10 and has a transmission component 21 and is electrically connected to a control unit 22 and a power source 23. In this embodiment, the transmission device 20 is a motor, and the motor is further connected with at least one chain (not shown), at least one belt (not shown) or at least one gear (not shown).

The control unit 22 has at least one switch 221 for activating or deactivating the operation of the transmission, and the control unit 22 controls the transmission 20 to rotate at at least a predetermined rate.

The first mirror 30 is disposed at the opening of the housing and has a reflecting surface 31 and a bonding surface 32. The reflecting surface 31 of the first mirror 30 faces the outer side to drive the transmission device 20 of the first mirror. The transmission element 21 is combined with the coupling face 32 of the first mirror 30. The surfaces of the housings 10 on both sides of the opening 12 are also combined with a second mirror 40, respectively, and the viewing angle is extended by the second mirror 40.

Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , which are schematic diagrams showing the state of use of the rear view mirror 1 of the present invention. When the rear view mirror 1 is contaminated with dust A or the rain line is filled with water drops B to affect the line of sight and sharpness of the rear view mirror 1, the switch 221 of the control unit 22 is turned on to start the transmission 20, due to the transmission 20 Having a rotational speed of at least a predetermined rate, thereby generating a centrifugal force, the transmission element 21 of the transmission 20 drives the first mirror 30 to rotate, and the generated centrifugal force causes the water droplet B or the dust A attached to the first mirror 30 to be ejected, and the user There is no need to shake the window to wipe with a rag, and the rear view mirror 1 of the present invention has a simple structure, no complicated parts and structures, and has significant advantages compared with the conventional rearview mirror.
