DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings, which show by way of example, embodiments in which the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0044] Embodiment 1:

[0045] As Figures 1-9As shown. The cycling device includes a bicycle (not shown) and a helmet 1. The bicycle has a basket 5 for placing the helmet 1. It also includes: a sensor 2 located inside the helmet 1; a battery 3 located inside the sensor 2 and electrically connected to a control circuit board 201 within the sensor 2; a first reed switch 4 located on the side wall of the helmet 1 and electrically connected to the control circuit board 201; and a first magnetic element 6, which is attached to the basket 5 of the bicycle to trigger the first reed switch 4. When the first magnetic element 6 triggers the first reed switch 4, the control circuit board 201 is de-energized; when the first reed switch 4 moves away from the first magnetic element 6, the control circuit board 201 is energized.

[0046] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the cycling device includes a bicycle (not shown), a helmet 1, a sensor 2, a battery 3, a first reed switch 4, a basket 5, and a first magnetic component 6. The bicycle is a conventional bicycle or electric bicycle. The sensor 2 is located on the top inner side of the helmet 1 and is used to sense whether the user is wearing the helmet properly. The control circuit board 201 is built into the sensor 2. The battery 3 is located inside the sensor 2 and electrically connected to the control circuit board 201 in the sensor 2, providing power to the control circuit board 201. The first reed switch 4 is located inside the helmet 1 and electrically connected to the control circuit board 201. Here, the first reed switch 4 is equivalent to a switch on the control circuit board; that is, both ends of the first reed switch 4 are connected to the circuits in the control circuit board 201 via wires. Alternatively, the battery 3 is electrically connected to one end of the first reed switch 4, and the other end of the first reed switch 4 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 201. The basket 5 is used to store the helmet 1, and a first magnetic element 6, such as a magnet, is installed inside the basket 5. When the user is not riding the vehicle, the helmet 1 is placed in the basket 5. At this time, the first reed switch 4 senses the first magnetic element 6 and controls the control circuit board 201 to turn off the power. When the user is riding the vehicle, the helmet 1 is separated from the basket 5. At this time, the first reed switch 4 fails to sense the first magnetic element 6 and control the control circuit board 201 to turn on. At this time, the sensing device 2 works and senses whether the user is wearing the helmet properly. In this invention, the helmet 1 is provided with a first reed switch 4. By using the first reed switch 4 to sense the first magnetic element 6, the power supply to or from the control circuit board 201 is controlled. When the control circuit board 201 is turned off, the power in the battery 3 will not be lost, thereby extending the battery life and avoiding energy waste.

Meanwhile, a central control console (not shown) is arranged on the riding vehicle in the embodiment, which is a central control console used for existing shared electric vehicles, and the Bluetooth module 205 is used to establish a Bluetooth connection with the central control console on the riding vehicle. When the user does not wear the helmet or does not wear it correctly, the Bluetooth module 205 sends a signal to the central control console, and the central control console controls the riding vehicle to stop. An infrared sensor can also be arranged in the sensing device 2 or the helmet 1 and is electrically connected with the control circuit board 201. The infrared sensor is used to sense the temperature of the user's head to determine whether the user wears the helmet. It should be noted that the posture sensor 203, the Bluetooth module 205, the proximity sensor 204 and the infrared sensor in the embodiment are all existing hardware facilities.

[0049] In the embodiment, the electric control driving mechanism 702 comprises a control module 7022, a communication module 7023 and a motor 7021, which will be described in detail Figure 11; wherein the motor 7021 and the communication module 7023 are electrically connected with the control module 7022 respectively, and the screw rod on the motor 7021 is connected with and drives the transmission mechanism 703. Specifically, the communication module 7023 is used to establish a Bluetooth connection with the central control console on the bicycle, and when the mobile terminal of the user establishes a signal connection with the central control console, the central control console receives the unlocking instruction or the locking instruction sent by the mobile terminal, and then transmits the instruction to the communication module 7023, and the communication module 7023 further transmits the instruction to the control module 7022, and the control module 7022 controls the motor 7021 to rotate according to the instruction, so as to drive the lock pin 705 to complete the unlocking or locking. Wherein, the communication module 7023 and the control module 7022 are both existing hardware devices.

[0050] As shown in Figure 6 As a further scheme, the transmission mechanism 703 includes a first gear 7031, a second gear 7032, a third gear 7033, a fourth gear 7034, a first rotating shaft 7035 and a second rotating shaft 7036; wherein the first rotating shaft 7035 and the second rotating shaft 7036 are both fixedly arranged in the lock shell 701, one side of the first gear 7031 is fixedly connected with one side of the second gear 7032, and the first gear 7031 and the second gear 7032 are both sleeved on the first rotating shaft 7035, the first gear 7031 is engaged with the screw rod on the motor 7021, the third gear 7033 and the fourth gear 7034 are both sleeved on the second rotating shaft 7036, and one side of the third gear 7033 is connected with one side of the fourth gear 7034, the third gear 7033 is engaged with the second gear 7032, and one side of the sliding block 704 is provided with a rack 7041, and the fourth gear 7034 is engaged with the rack 7041. When the motor 7021 rotates, the motor 7021 drives the first gear 7031 to rotate, the first gear 7031 drives the second gear 7032 to rotate, the second gear 7032 drives the third gear 7033 to rotate, the third gear 7033 drives the fourth gear 7034 to rotate, and the fourth gear 7034 drives the sliding block 704 to slide, and the sliding block 704 drives the lock pin 705 to slide leftward or rightward when sliding.

[0051] As a further scheme, the lock shell 701 is further provided with a fixed rod 707, the fixed rod 707 penetrates through the sliding block 704 along the sliding direction of the sliding block 704, and the two ends of the fixed rod 707 are fixedly connected with the opposite sides of the lock shell 701 respectively. Specifically, the fixed rod 707 is horizontally arranged in the lock shell 701 along the left-right direction, and the sliding block 704 is sleeved on the fixed rod 707 and slides along the length direction of the fixed rod 707.

[0052] As shown in Figures 7-9As shown, in the embodiment, the transmission mechanism 703 further comprises a pressing sheet 7037; one side of the third gear 7033 is provided with a plurality of fan-shaped first wedge blocks 7081, the cross section of each first wedge block 7081 is triangular, and each first wedge block 7081 surrounds a first clutch surface 708 with the second rotating shaft 7036 as the center, one side of the fourth gear 7034 is provided with a plurality of fan-shaped second wedge blocks 7091, the cross section of each second wedge block 7091 is triangular, and each second wedge block 7091 surrounds a second clutch surface 709 with the second rotating shaft 7036 as the center, the first clutch surface 708 is engaged with the second clutch surface 709; one end of the pressing sheet 7037 is fixedly arranged in the lock shell 701, and the other end is arranged on the side of the third gear 7033 away from the fourth gear 7034 and abuts against the third gear 7033. Specifically, when the helmet 1 is placed in place, the lock hole 706 corresponds to the through hole 101 and the lock pin 705 can extend into the through hole 101, the third gear 7033 drives the fourth gear 7034 to move synchronously, and the first clutch surface 708 and the second clutch surface 709 remain relatively fixed; when the helmet is not placed in place, the lock hole 706 cannot be aligned with the through hole 101, and the lock pin 705 will abut against the inside of the helmet 1 after extending out of the lock hole 706, at this time, the lock pin 705 cannot continue to move, so the slider 704 cannot slide, and therefore the helmet 1 has not been locked, so the motor 7021 is still working to drive the transmission assembly to slide the slider 704, so that the third gear 7033 rotates relative to the fourth gear 7034 through the first clutch surface 708 and the second clutch surface 709 under the action of force, that is, the first clutch surface 708 and the second clutch surface 709 no longer remain relatively fixed at this time, wherein the first wedge blocks 7081 sequentially slide on the surfaces of the second wedge blocks 7091 around the second rotating shaft 7036, and the third gear 7033 will jump on the fourth gear 7034 in the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 7036 with a small amplitude, to generate a slipping effect, that is, the slider 704 remains stationary, but the third gear 7033 is still rotating, and the first clutch surface 708 and the second clutch surface 709 prevent the third gear 7033 from being stuck, thereby protecting the motor 7021; meanwhile, the pressing sheet 7037 is an elastic metal sheet, the pressing sheet 7037 abuts against the side of the third gear 7033 away from the fourth gear 7034, and when the third gear 7033 slips, the pressing sheet 7037 applies a pressing force to the third gear 7033 in the direction of the fourth gear 7034, to prevent the first clutch surface 708 on the third gear 7033 from being separated from the second clutch surface 709 on the fourth gear 7034, thereby playing a limiting role.

[0053] As a further embodiment, the lock housing 701 is also provided with a first limit switch 710, a second limit switch 711 and a resistor 712. The first limit switch 710 and the second limit switch 711 are respectively located near the two ends of the fixing rod 707. The first limit switch 710 and the second limit switch 711 are connected in parallel to one end of the first wire 713 and the resistor 712 is connected in series with the first limit switch 710. The other end of the first wire 713 is connected to the control module 7022. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first limit switch 710 and the second limit switch 711 share a first wire 713 connected to the control module 7022. That is, the first limit switch 710 and the second limit switch 711 share a signal input port on the control module 7022. When the slider 704 slides to the right end and abuts against the first limit switch 710, the helmet 1 is locked, and the control module 7022 controls the motor 7021 to stop rotating. When the slider 704 slides to the left end and abuts against the second limit switch 711, the control module 7022 controls the motor 7021 to stop rotating. At the same time, when the slider 704 slides to the right end and abuts against the first limit switch 710, the control module 7022 can sense that the current in the first wire 713 has decreased, thus determining that the helmet 1 has been locked. The resistor 712 provides further protection.

[0054] As a further option, the resistor 712 may not be installed inside the lock housing. Instead, the first limit switch 710 and the second limit switch 711 can be connected to the two signal input ports of the control module 7022 one by one through two wires.

[0055] In this embodiment, the riding device further includes a second reed switch 8 and a second magnetic component 9. The second reed switch 8 is located within the lock housing 701 and electrically connected to the control module 7022. The second magnetic component 9 is located inside the helmet 1. When the helmet 1 is placed in the basket 5 and is locked, the second reed switch 8 and the second magnetic component 9 are positioned opposite each other. Specifically, when the helmet 1 is placed upright in the basket 5, the second reed switch 8 senses the second magnetic component 9. At this time, the second reed switch 8 triggers a switch, and the control module 7022 controls the motor 7021 to turn on, locking the helmet 1.

[0056] Example 2:

[0057] like Figure 12 As shown, this embodiment also provides a control method for a cycling device, specifically including the following steps:

[0058] S1: the central control console sends an unlocking instruction to the communication module in the electric control lock 7, after the communication module receives the unlocking instruction sent by the central control console, the control module controls the motor 7021 to rotate and complete the unlocking of the helmet 1;

[0059] Specifically, the user first establishes a signal connection with the central control console of the riding vehicle by using a mobile terminal and sends an unlocking instruction to the central control console, and the signal connection is specifically a Bluetooth connection or a signal connection established by scanning a two-dimensional code by the mobile phone. The central control console receives the unlocking instruction and transmits it to the communication module. The communication module receives the unlocking instruction and controls the motor 7021 to rotate through the control module, thereby driving the sliding block through the transmission mechanism 703, and the sliding block drives the lock pin 705, and the unlocking is completed when the right end of the lock pin 705 extends into the lock hole or the lock shell 706.

[0060] S2: the first dry reed 4 is triggered and turned on when it does not sense the first magnetic member 6, and the Bluetooth module 205 establishes a Bluetooth connection with the communication module;

[0061] Specifically, when the user takes the helmet 1 out of the article basket 5, the first dry reed 4 is triggered and turned on when it does not sense the first magnetic member 6, and the first dry reed 4 controls the control circuit board 201 in the sensing device 2 to be powered on. The control circuit board 201 starts to operate and powers on the Bluetooth module 205 in the sensing device 2, and the Bluetooth module 205 powers on and establishes a Bluetooth connection with the communication module.

[0062] S3: the central control console controls the vehicle lock of the riding vehicle to be opened after the sensing device 2 detects that the user correctly wears the helmet 1;

[0063] Specifically, after the posture sensor 203 and the proximity sensor 204 in the sensing device 2 detect that the user correctly wears the helmet 1, the Bluetooth module 205 sends an instruction of wearing the helmet 1 to the communication module, and the communication module receives the instruction of wearing the helmet 1 and sends it to the central control console. After the central control console receives the instruction of wearing the helmet 1, the vehicle lock of the riding vehicle is opened and is in a rideable state. If the user has not correctly worn the helmet 1, the Bluetooth module 205 sends an instruction of not wearing the helmet 1 to the communication module, and the communication module transmits the instruction to the central control console. After the central control console receives the instruction, the riding vehicle cannot be ridden, and the steps of the Bluetooth module 205 sending an instruction of wearing the helmet 1 to the communication module and the subsequent steps are performed only after the user correctly wears the helmet 1.

[0064] S4: at this time, the communication module disconnects the Bluetooth connection established with the Bluetooth module 205, and the Bluetooth module 205 starts to send a Bluetooth broadcast mode, and the communication module starts to scan the Bluetooth broadcast mode. The content of the Bluetooth broadcast is distinguished by code, including a helmet wearing code, a helmet taking-off code, and a helmet returning code.

[0065] Specifically, the central control console sends a receiving success instruction to the communication module after receiving the instruction of wearing the helmet 1, the communication module disconnects the Bluetooth connection established with the Bluetooth module 205 after receiving the receiving success instruction sent by the central control console, and the Bluetooth module 205 starts the Bluetooth broadcast mode, the communication module starts the Bluetooth scanning mode, and the content of the Bluetooth broadcast is distinguished by code, including the wearing helmet code, the taking-off helmet code and the returning helmet code.

[0066] S5: The central control console controls the opening of the bicycle lock, the closing of the bicycle lock and the closing of the bicycle lock and the disconnection of the signal connection with the mobile terminal according to the wearing helmet code, the taking-off helmet code and the returning helmet code respectively.

[0067] Specifically, when the attitude sensor 203 and the proximity sensor 204 in the sensing device 2 detect that the user correctly wears the helmet 1, the content of the Bluetooth broadcast is the wearing helmet code, the communication module scans and acquires the wearing helmet code, and then sends the wearing helmet code to the central control console, and the central control console controls the opening of the bicycle lock after receiving the wearing helmet code.

[0068] When the attitude sensor 203 in the sensing device 2 detects that the user does not correctly wear the helmet 1 or the proximity sensor 204 detects that the user does not wear the helmet 1, the Bluetooth module 205 sends the content of the Bluetooth broadcast as the taking-off helmet code, the communication module scans and acquires the taking-off helmet code, and then sends the user's taking-off helmet instruction to the central control console, and the central control console controls the closing of the bicycle lock after receiving the user's taking-off helmet instruction, and the bicycle is in a state that cannot be ridden.

[0069] When the user returns the helmet 1 to the article basket 5, the first reed switch 4 is triggered to be disconnected after sensing the first magnetic element 6, and the first reed switch 4 controls the control circuit board 201 to be powered off, at this time, the Bluetooth module 205 continues to work for 1-10S after the control circuit board 201 is powered off, and then stops running, the Bluetooth module 205 continues to work and sends the content of the Bluetooth broadcast as the returning helmet code, the communication module scans and acquires the returning helmet code, and then sends the returning helmet code to the control module, the control module controls the motor 7021 to rotate and locks the helmet 1, when the helmet 1 is locked, the communication module sends the helmet 1 returning instruction to the central control console, and the central control console controls the closing of the bicycle lock and the disconnection of the signal connection with the mobile terminal after receiving the helmet 1 returning instruction. When the second reed switch 8 is invalid, the returning helmet code can assist the electric control lock 7 to lock the helmet 1.

[0070] The Bluetooth module 205 and the communication module in the embodiment can be connected to the center control console at the same time, or the Bluetooth module 205 can be connected to the communication module, and the communication module can be connected to the center control console. The riding device in the embodiment can better protect the user after the above control method. When the user does not wear the helmet or does not wear the helmet correctly, the bicycle cannot be ridden.

[0071] As a further solution, when the first dry reed 4 is not inducted by the first magnetic part 6 and is triggered and turned on, the Bluetooth module 205 is opened to send the Bluetooth broadcast mode, the communication module is opened to scan the Bluetooth broadcast mode, and the content of the Bluetooth broadcast is distinguished by code, including the helmet code, the helmet removal code, and the helmet return code. In the embodiment, when the helmet 1 is taken out by the user, the Bluetooth module 205 is directly opened to send the Bluetooth broadcast mode, the communication module is directly opened to scan the Bluetooth broadcast mode, and the two do not establish a Bluetooth connection from the beginning to the end, but always transmit signals or instructions through the Bluetooth broadcast mode. When the communication module in the electric control lock 7 scans the Bluetooth broadcast, it will be scanned intermittently, and the time interval is within 1s-5s, for example, three seconds or five seconds. Therefore, the riding device in the embodiment is more power-saving when applied, that is, the Bluetooth broadcast mode is more power-saving than the Bluetooth connection mode. However, the Bluetooth connection mode is more stable in signal transmission than the Bluetooth broadcast mode, and the Bluetooth broadcast mode is more easily affected by external interference and signal stability, and signal reception has a delay.

[0072] As shown in Figure 13 As a further solution, when the user takes off the helmet 1 and puts it into the article basket 5, the first dry reed 4 is inducted by the first magnetic part 6 and is triggered to be disconnected. At this time, the attitude sensor 203 and the proximity sensor 204 in the induction device 2 are in a power-off state, but the Bluetooth module 205 can still work for 1-10S. For example, in the induction device 2, a small-capacity energy storage device is connected to the Bluetooth module 205, the control circuit board 201 is connected to the energy storage device, and the control circuit board 201 is powered on to charge the energy storage device. The energy storage device can store a small amount of electrical energy to make the Bluetooth module 205 continue to work for 1-10S after the control circuit board 201 is powered off. The energy storage device is a prior art device, so that the communication module or the center control console can continue to send the helmet return code for 1-10S.
