ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY FOR AN OUTER REAR-VIEW MIRROR, REAR VIEW MIRROR AND VEHICLE
The present disclosure relates to an actuator assembly configured for rotating an exterior rear-view mirror, in particular a head of the exterior rear-view mirror, mounted to a vehicle, the actuator assembly comprising: at least one tilt worm gear; at least one tilt pinion gear having at least an external surface and internal surface, wherein the external surface of the tilt pinion gear meshes at least partly with the tilt worm gear; at least one tilt shaft comprising a central shaft, wherein the central shaft comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the second end of the central shaft is configured to connect to the exterior rear-view mirror, in particular its head, and the central shaft has a first axis of rotation, at least one tilt cover comprising at least a primary bore, wherein the primary bor is configured to couple at least partly with the first end of central shaft, to coincide with the first axis of rotation. The actuator assembly further comprises at least one arc-shaped member having at least an external surface, an internal surface and two end faces, wherein the external surface of the arc-shaped member is coupled at least partly with the internal surface of the tilt pinion gear, the rotation axis of the arc-shaped member and the tilt pinion gear coincides with a second axis of rotation, the at least one tilt cover comprises an auxiliary shaft, the auxiliary shaft is configured to mount the internal surface of the arc-shaped member to coincide with the second axis of rotation, and the arc-shaped member is configured to engage or disengage the tilt pinion gear with the auxiliary shaft to transmit rotational motion or stop transmission of rotational motion from the tilt pinion gear to the tilt shaft. In addition, an exterior rear view mirror and a vehicle with such an actuator assembly (100) are provided.
