Abstract

This invention, a safety helmet with solar power and buckle sensing alarm, comprises: a helmet body with a solar panel on its surface for generating electricity; a buckle assembly including a male buckle and a female buckle, the male buckle having a buckle groove or buckle hole; a sensing module for sensing whether the male buckle is fully inserted into the female buckle; a computing control module electrically connected to the solar panel and the sensing module; and an audible alarm module, characterized in that: when the user wears the safety helmet and the sensing module detects that the male buckle is not inserted into the female buckle, the computing control module drives the audible alarm module to issue an alarm.

Claims

1. A safety helmet with solar power supply and buckle sensing alarm, comprising: a helmet body with a solar element; a buckle assembly including a male buckle and a female buckle, the male buckle having a buckle groove or buckle hole; a sensing module for sensing whether the male buckle is fully inserted into the female buckle; a computing control module electrically connected to the solar element and the sensing module; and an audible alarm module, wherein when the user wears the safety helmet and the sensing module detects that the male buckle is not inserted into the female buckle, the computing control module drives the audible alarm module to issue an alarm.

2. The safety helmet as described in claim 1, wherein the sensing module is a microswitch sensor that determines the position of the buckle by detecting the elastic force.

3. The safety helmet as requested in item 2, wherein the microswitch sensor is a spring-loaded microswitch.

4. The safety helmet as claimed in claim 1, wherein the solar cell has a flexible thin-film structure.

5. The safety helmet as claimed in claim 4, wherein the solar element is an amorphous silicon solar cell.

6. The safety helmet as claimed in item 4 or 5, wherein the solar element is attached to one of the outer surfaces of the helmet body.

7. The safety helmet as requested in item 1, wherein the sensing module is disposed in the buckle.

8. The safety helmet as requested in item 1, wherein the computational control module is a microcontroller.

9. The safety helmet as described in claim 8, wherein the microcontroller includes an operating logic unit that determines whether the user is in a safe state.

10. The safety helmet as requested in item 1, wherein the sound alarm module is a buzzer or a speaker.
