Abstract
A central rearview mirror includes a profile-shaped mirror housing. The front of the mirror housing is provided with a first sliding chute, and a lens is slidably embedded in the first sliding chute. An end cover is removably installed at each of the two side ends of the mirror housing. The advantages of the central rearview mirror are as follows: The profile is adopted as the main body of the mirror housing, that is, the mirror housing is a solid straight bar with a certain cross-section shape so that each cross-section of the mirror housing is unified. When it is required to design central rearview mirrors of different lengths, it is only necessary to cut a large-length profile to obtain the mirror housing in the required length without tedious computer numerical control (CNC) processing or new mould-opening, thus reducing the production cost of the central rearview mirror.
