20230009500 · 2023-01-12 ·

The disclosure relates to the technical field of vehicles, and is intended to solve the problem that existing laser radars used for sensing surrounding environments of vehicles have poor heat dissipation. To this end, a rear-view mirror assembly of a vehicle and a vehicle are provided. The vehicle includes an onboard air-conditioner. The rear-view mirror assembly includes a rear-view mirror, a laser radar, and an air supply pipe. The rear-view mirror is provided with a chamber. The laser radar is disposed in the chamber, and a detection part of the laser radar is exposed to the outside of the rear-view mirror. An inlet of the air supply pipe is in communication with an air outlet of the onboard air-conditioner. The air supply pipe extends into the chamber, and an outlet of the air supply pipe is arranged towards the laser radar. According to the disclosure, cooling air generated by the onboard air-conditioner can be used to purposefully cool the laser radar through the air supply pipe, thereby prolonging service life of the laser radar and ensuring normal operation of the laser radar; moreover, since the air supply pipe is accommodated in the chamber of the rear-view mirror, space is saved, the rear-view mirror has a higher integration level and a smaller size, and the overall spatial arrangement is facilitated.
