Inside mirror assembly for vehicle

Abstract

An inside mirror assembly for a vehicle may include a housing which has an opening portion formed at a front side thereof, a fixed reflective plate which is fixed and mounted to the opening portion of the housing, a tilting reflective plate which is tiltably mounted in the housing, and disposed parallel to a rear surface of the fixed reflective plate in a day reflective mode, or disposed so that an upper end portion of the tilting reflective plate is tiltable rearward at a predetermined angle on a basis of a lower end portion of the tilting reflective plate in order to reduce light reflectivity in a night reflective mode, and a tilting operation mechanism which is connected with the tilting reflective plate, mounted inside and outside of the housing, and adjusts a tilting angle of the tilting reflective plate.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an interior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle. More specifically, the present invention relates to an interior mirror assembly for a vehicle, which is a so-called frameless type interior mirror without a black visor and can be adjusted in daytime depending on light reflectivity. and implement reflective surfaces at night. Background technique [0002] In general, an interior rearview mirror (also referred to as an interior mirror) for a vehicle is used to ensure a view at the rear seat as well as a rear side view, and is installed at a boundary portion between a driver's seat and a front passenger seat above the top surface so that its angle can be adjusted. [0003] Generally, an interior mirror assembly includes a housing assembled to a top panel surface through a ball joint or the like, and a mirror glass mounted on a front side of the housing to reflect light. [0004] Most mirror glass has such a structure ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Most mirror glass has such a structure that it has a flat reflective surface with a predetermined thickness, so there is a defect that the light (specifically, the high beam) from the headlights of the following vehicle is directly reflected , leading to blinding of the driver's light

[0014] First, when the rear object is reflected by the first and second reflective surfaces of the prism glass in the daytime reflection mode and the nighttime reflection mode, due to the characteristics of the prism glass, an image overlapping phenomenon occurs (in the image overlapping phenomenon, virtual images and real images overlap each other), so there is a problem that even if the driver can recognize the rear object, the driver is confused when seeing the rear object with eyes

[0015] Second, there is an inconvenience that the driver may not recognize the tilt of the prism glass when driving the vehicle in daytime in the daytime reflective mode the day after the driver drives the vehicle at night in the night reflective mode The fact that the driver can recognize that the position of the housing has changed because the housing is tilted allows the driver to use the prism glass only by adjusting the housing, and until the driver drives the vehicle at night and uses the prism glass by adjusting the housing again Neither will recognize a change in the position of the joystick
