The Design For Vehicle Rear Seat Vanity Mirror

In China’s increasingly competitive luxury car market, the OEMs need to updatethe vehicle interior to keep the car popular for the customer. The article introduces anew rear seat vanity mirror design and development for the rear seat passager.Thisdesign is creative and people oriented and it increases the competitive for the car.Firstly, define the new vanity mirror design specification after benchmark theAudi,BMW and Benz vanity mirror, analysis the advantage and disadvantage of theparts. Package the rear seat vanity mirror with ergonomics method, analysis the fieldof vision, hand reachable area and the operation performance of rear seat passenger,check the rear seat passenger head impact zone with the mirror opening area tooptimize the package of the mirror. Create key sections for parts fixing, assembly,space validation and mechanical structure design. Create BOM and define function forall the sub parts. Create vanity mirror3D module with standard design process and useparametric, power copy design methods to improve the design work efficiency. Usethe Root-Sum-Squares tolerance chain checking method to calculate the tolerance ofpart to fulfill the appearance fit/finish requirement. At last, simulate the Push-Pushmechanical structures movement and check the crash during the opening and closingprocess to improve the3D model, check the PUSH-PUSH design feasibility. Validatethe rear seat vanity mirror prototype on vehicle and add mirror open self-lockingfunction on part to improve the customer experience. We think it is an availabilityresearch in the field of interior area.
