Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of transport container technology, and more particularly to a helmet carrying case. Background Technology

[0002] For safety reasons, maintenance personnel on ships are usually required to wear helmets when performing maintenance work. Helmets can effectively protect the safety of maintenance personnel and are an indispensable piece of equipment when performing maintenance work.

[0003] Ordinary helmets only provide protection and have no other functions, while smart helmets can provide protection and also enable intelligent communication. Therefore, smart helmets are more expensive than ordinary helmets.

[0004] Smart helmets cannot be stored by hanging like ordinary helmets. Therefore, it is necessary to design a case for storing smart helmets to better protect them and facilitate carrying and retrieval by maintenance personnel. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a helmet carrying case that can solve the problem of storing smart helmets for maintenance personnel.

[0006] This application provides a helmet carrying case. The helmet carrying case includes a helmet body, a case body, a support assembly, and a fixing assembly. The helmet body has a slot around its periphery. The case body has a receiving cavity extending along a first direction. The support assembly is located in the receiving cavity and includes a support member and a first elastic member. The support member has an outer side wall arranged around the first direction, and there is a gap between the outer side wall and the cavity side wall of the receiving cavity. The support member has a placement groove on the side facing away from the cavity bottom wall. The support member also has a groove facing the groove bottom wall. The first elastic member is located between the support member and the cavity bottom wall of the receiving cavity, and the first elastic member is fixedly connected to the support member and the cavity bottom wall of the receiving cavity. The first elastic member is adapted to generate elastic deformation along the first direction. The fixing assembly is located in the groove and can move relative to the groove along the first direction. The helmet body is configured to extend into the placement groove through the groove opening and can rotate relative to the placement groove to engage with the slot, thereby positioning the helmet body on the support member.

[0007] The helmet carrying case based on the embodiments of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0008] The helmet body extends into the placement groove through the groove opening. By rotating the helmet body, the groove opening on the helmet body rotates to align with the groove opening. The fixing component moves relative to the groove along the first direction away from the bottom wall of the groove until it engages with the groove, thereby achieving relative fixation between the helmet body and the support member. By designing a first elastic element, the first elastic element can generate elastic deformation along the first direction. The first elastic element can prolong the time of the vibration force generated by the support member. Therefore, under the same momentum change, the vibration force on the support member is reduced, which has a good buffering and shock absorption effect on the support member, and thus also has a good buffering and shock absorption effect on the helmet body placed in the placement groove of the support member.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, this application proposes a helmet carrying case 1, which can store the helmet body 10, provides good protection for the helmet body 10, and facilitates maintenance personnel to carry and retrieve the helmet body 10.

[0020] The helmet carrying case 1 includes a helmet body 10, a case 20, a support assembly 30, and a fixing assembly 40. The helmet body 10 has a slot 111 around its periphery. The case 20 has a receiving cavity 21 extending along a first direction X. The support assembly 30 is located within the receiving cavity 21 and includes a support member 31 and a first elastic member 32. The support member 31 has an outer side wall surrounding the first direction X, and a gap exists between the outer side wall and the cavity side wall of the receiving cavity 21. The support member 31 has a placement groove 3121 on the side facing away from the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 21. The support member 31 also has a groove 313 facing the bottom wall of the placement groove 3121. 1. The first elastic member 32 is located between the support member 31 and the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 21, and the first elastic member 32 is fixedly connected to the support member 31 and the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 21. The first elastic member 32 is adapted to generate elastic deformation along the first direction X. The fixing component 40 is disposed in the groove 3131, and the fixing component 40 can move relative to the groove 3131 along the first direction X. The helmet body 10 is configured to extend into the placement groove 3121 through the groove opening portion of the placement groove 3121, and can rotate relative to the placement groove 3121 to make the fixing component 40 engage with the slot 111 to position the helmet body 10 on the support member 31.

[0021] The following combination Figures 1-7 The specific structure of the helmet carrying case 1 will be described in detail.

[0022] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the helmet carrying case 1 includes a helmet body 10, a case 20, a support component 30, and a fixing component 40.

[0023] As a component that provides good protection for the head of maintenance personnel, the helmet body 10 should be made of a material with good hardness. Designers can make reasonable choices of the materials used to make the helmet body 10 according to actual needs. Of course, to improve the wearing comfort of maintenance personnel, designers should prioritize the selection of lighter materials to reduce the overall weight of the helmet body 10. The specific structure of the helmet body 10 will be described in detail below.

[0024] The helmet body 10 has a slot 111 around its perimeter.

[0025] As a component capable of storing and transporting the helmet body 10, the specific shape of the box 20 is not limited here. Designers can design the specific shape of the box 20 reasonably according to actual needs. The material used to manufacture the box 20 is also not limited here. Designers should select materials with high hardness, corrosion resistance, and waterproof properties.

[0026] The housing 20 has a receiving cavity 21 extending along a first direction X.

[0027] The support assembly 30 is used to provide support for the helmet body 10. The support assembly 30 is located in the receiving cavity 21 and includes a support member 31 and a first elastic member 32.

[0028] The support member 31 is used to support the helmet body 10. The specific structure of the support member 31 will be described in detail below.

[0029] The support member 31 has an outer sidewall arranged around the first direction X. A gap exists between the outer sidewall and the cavity sidewall of the receiving cavity 21, meaning the outer sidewall of the support member 31 and the cavity sidewall of the receiving cavity 21 are spaced apart or do not contact each other. A placement groove 3121 is provided on the side of the support member 31 facing away from the cavity bottom wall of the receiving cavity 21; that is, the surface of the support member 31 on the side facing away from the cavity bottom wall of the receiving cavity 21 extends inward to form the placement groove 3121. The support member 31 also has a groove 3131 facing the bottom wall of the placement groove 3121; that is, the opening of the placement groove 3121 and the opening of the groove 3131 face each other.

[0030] The first elastic element 32 plays a role in buffering and shock absorption for the support element 31. The specific manifestation of the first elastic element 32 will be described in detail below.

[0031] The first elastic element 32 is adapted to generate elastic deformation along the first direction X. That is, the first elastic element 32 can generate deformation along the first direction X under the action of external force, and the deformation can recover itself after the external force is removed.

[0032] The first elastic element 32 is located between the support element 31 and the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 21, that is, the first elastic element 32 is located on the side of the support element 31 facing the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 21. The first elastic element 32 is connected to the support element 31 and the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 21. The connection between the first elastic element 32 and the support element 31 can be detachable, in which case the connection between the first elastic element 32 and the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 21 is non-detachable; or, the connection between the first elastic element 32 and the support element 31 can be non-detachable, in which case the connection between the first elastic element 32 and the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 21 is detachable; or, the connection between the first elastic element 32 and the support element 31 and the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 21 can be either detachable or non-detachable. For example, when the first elastic element 32 is detachably connected to the support element 31 and the bottom wall of the cavity 21, the first elastic element 32 can be connected to the support element 31 and the bottom wall of the cavity 21 by snap-fit ​​fixing; as another example, when the first elastic element 32 is non-detachably connected to the support element 31 and the bottom wall of the cavity 21, the first elastic element 32 can be connected to the support element 31 and the bottom wall of the cavity 21 by adhesive fixing.

[0033] The fixing component 40 is used to fix the relative position between the helmet body 10 and the support 31. The specific structure of the fixing component 40 will be described in detail below.

[0034] The fixing component 40 is disposed in the groove 3131, and the fixing component 40 can move relative to the groove 3131 along the first direction X.

[0035] The helmet body 10 is configured to extend into the placement groove 3121 via the opening portion of the placement groove 3121. The helmet body 10 can rotate relative to the placement groove 3121 to engage with the fixing component 40 in the slot 111, thereby positioning the helmet body 10 on the support member 31. In other words, the helmet body 10 is accommodated in the placement groove 3121 via the opening portion of the placement groove 3121. By rotating the helmet body 10, the opening of the slot 111 aligns with the opening of the groove 3131. The fixing component 40 moves relative to the groove 3131 along the first direction X toward the direction away from the bottom wall of the groove 3131 until it engages with the slot 111, thereby achieving relative fixation of the position between the helmet body 10 and the support member 31.

[0036] Based on the helmet carrying case 1 in this embodiment, the helmet body 10 extends into the placement groove 3121 through the groove opening. By rotating the helmet body 10, the groove opening of the slot 111 on the helmet body 10 is rotated to align with the groove opening of the recess 3131. The fixing component 40 moves relative to the recess 3131 along the first direction X toward the direction away from the bottom wall of the recess 3131 until it engages with the slot 111, thereby achieving relative fixation between the helmet body 10 and the support member 31. By designing the first elastic member 32, the first elastic member 32 can generate elastic deformation along the first direction X. The first elastic member 32 can prolong the time of the vibration force generated by the support member 31. Therefore, under the same momentum change, the vibration force received by the support member 31 is reduced, which has a good buffering and shock absorption effect on the support member 31, thereby also having a good buffering and shock absorption effect on the helmet body 10 placed in the placement groove 3121 of the support member 31.

[0037] like Figure 3As shown, the helmet body 10 has good structural strength and can provide good protection for the head of maintenance personnel. When maintenance personnel wear the helmet body 10, it can effectively reduce the injury to the head caused by external objects. Considering that maintenance personnel need to perform regular maintenance on equipment such as boilers, pressure vessels, and pressure pipelines on ships, when performing maintenance work, they may be exposed to environments with high temperatures, dust, toxic and harmful gases, and high-energy radiation. Maintenance personnel may suffer invisible harm to their bodies due to negligence in these external environments. To improve the safety of maintenance personnel during maintenance, the helmet body 10 includes a helmet body 11. Other structures of the helmet body 10 may be, but are not limited to, one or more of the following embodiments.

[0038] In the first embodiment, the helmet body 10 further includes an illumination module 131, a camera module 132, a laser ranging module 133, and a 3D scanning module 134, all located at the front end of the helmet body 11. The illumination module 131 may include an LED light, the brightness of which can be manually adjusted by maintenance personnel. Alternatively, the LED light can automatically adjust its brightness according to the surrounding environment to meet the actual lighting needs in different environments. The camera module 132 may include a camera with good imaging quality, capable of real-time video recording or photography to record the entire maintenance process and enable traceability of the maintenance work. The laser ranging module 133 may include a lidar. The lidar transmitter emits a detection laser towards a target object within its detection range. The detection laser is reflected by the target object to form an echo laser, which is received by the lidar receiver. The lidar controller analyzes and compares the echo laser with the local oscillator laser to obtain relevant parameters such as the target object's distance, orientation, height, speed, attitude, and even shape. The 3D scanning module 134 can realize 3D stereoscopic scanning imaging. The specific structure of the 3D scanning module 134 is not limited here. Designers can select some existing 3D scanning equipment according to actual needs.

[0039] For example, the helmet body 10 also includes a mounting base 12, which is integrally molded to the front end of the helmet body 11 by injection molding. The mounting base 12 has four first mounting slots, which are arranged in a rectangular array of two rows and two columns. The lighting module 131 and the camera module 132 are located in the two first mounting slots in the same row, the laser ranging module 133 and the 3D scanning module 134 are located in the two first mounting slots in the same row, the camera module 132 and the 3D scanning module 134 are located in the two first mounting slots in the same column, and the lighting module 131 and the laser ranging module 133 are located in the two first mounting slots in the same column. The lighting module 131 is further away from the periphery of the helmet body 11 than the laser ranging module 133.

[0040] In this design, a lighting module 131 is designed on the helmet body 11, allowing maintenance personnel to turn the lighting module 131 on or off as needed, thereby improving the portability of maintenance personnel during the maintenance process; a camera module 132 is designed on the helmet body 11, which can record the entire maintenance process, thus enabling the tracking of the maintenance process; a laser ranging module 133 is designed on the helmet body 11, which can detect the distance of target objects, thereby improving the portability and safety of maintenance personnel during the maintenance process; and a three-dimensional scanning module 134 is designed on the helmet body 11, which can realize three-dimensional scanning imaging, thereby improving the portability of maintenance personnel during the maintenance process.

[0041] In the second embodiment, the helmet body 10 further includes a GPS positioning module 141, a toxic gas monitoring module 142, a combustible gas monitoring module 143, and a thickness detection module 144, which are disposed on one side of the helmet body 11. The GPS positioning module 141 has a global positioning system and can record the location of maintenance personnel in real time, enabling functions such as trajectory recording, playback, and electronic fences in conjunction with a cloud platform. The toxic gas monitoring module 142 may include a first sensor, which may, but is not limited to, the ability to detect the concentration of toxic gases such as carbon monoxide. The combustible gas monitoring module 143 may include a second sensor, which may, but is not limited to, the ability to detect the concentration of combustible gases such as hydrogen. The thickness detection module 144 may include a thickness sensor capable of measuring the thickness of the object being measured.

[0042] For example, the helmet body 11 is provided with four second mounting slots, which are arranged sequentially from the front end to the rear end of the helmet body 11. The thickness detection module 144, the combustible gas detection module 143, the toxic gas detection module 142 and the GPS positioning module 141 are installed in one of the second mounting slots respectively, and the thickness detection module 144 is arranged close to the front end of the helmet body 11.

[0043] In this design, a GPS positioning module 141 is designed on the helmet body 11, which can record the location of maintenance personnel in real time, thereby effectively improving the safety of maintenance personnel during maintenance operations. A toxic gas monitoring module 142 is designed on the helmet body 11, which can detect the concentration of toxic gases, preventing maintenance personnel from performing maintenance operations in toxic gas environments, thereby improving the safety of maintenance personnel during maintenance operations. A combustible gas monitoring module 143 is designed on the helmet body 11, which can detect the concentration of combustible gases, preventing maintenance personnel from performing maintenance operations in combustible gas environments, thereby improving the safety of maintenance personnel during maintenance operations. A thickness detection module 144 is designed on the helmet body 11, which can directly measure the thickness of the object to be measured, replacing traditional measuring equipment such as steel rulers, vernier calipers, weld inspection rulers, and thickness gauges, thereby improving the portability of operation for maintenance personnel.

[0044] In a third embodiment, the helmet body 10 further includes a hardness detection module (not shown) and a vital signs monitoring module (not shown), both located on the other side of the helmet body 11. The hardness detection module may include a hardness sensor capable of measuring the hardness of the object being measured. The vital signs monitoring module may include a heart rate sensor used to detect the heart rate of the maintenance personnel.

[0045] For example, the helmet body 11 is provided with two third mounting slots, which are arranged sequentially from the front end to the rear end of the helmet body 11. The hardness detection module and the vital signs monitoring module are installed in one of the third mounting slots respectively, and the hardness detection module is arranged close to the front end of the helmet body 11.

[0046] In this design, a hardness detection module is designed on the helmet body 11. This module can measure the hardness of the object being measured, replacing traditional hardness testers and other measuring equipment, thereby improving the portability of operation for maintenance personnel. A vital signs monitoring module is also designed on the helmet body 11. This module can monitor the heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and other indicators of maintenance personnel in real time. If the heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, or other indicators of maintenance personnel exceed the normal threshold, the vital signs monitoring module will send relevant electrical signals to the central control module 145. After receiving the relevant electrical signals, the central control module 145 will control the relevant protective devices to take corresponding protective measures to ensure the life safety of maintenance personnel as soon as possible.

[0047] In a fourth embodiment, the helmet body 11 further includes a microphone 151, which is disposed around the periphery of the helmet body 11 and close to the front end of the helmet body 11. In this design, the microphone 151 has high sensitivity and can effectively collect the sound of the surrounding environment.

[0048] In the fifth embodiment, the helmet body 11 further includes a speaker 152, which is disposed on one side of the helmet body 11. In this design, the speaker 152 is capable of effectively playing relevant audio signals.

[0049] It should be noted that the aforementioned protective device can be a protective airbag, which is installed inside the helmet body 11. When the vital signs monitoring module detects a low heart rate in the maintenance personnel, indicating a risk of fall, the vital signs monitoring module sends an electrical signal to the central control module 145. Upon receiving this signal, the central control module 145 deploys the protective airbag to effectively prevent head injury during a fall, thus protecting the maintenance personnel's life immediately. The helmet body 10 also features a one-button alarm function. When the maintenance personnel encounter danger or other emergencies, they can manually trigger the alarm button. The GPS positioning module 141 transmits the maintenance personnel's location information to the cloud server, and the vital signs monitoring module transmits the maintenance personnel's vital signs information to the cloud server. Management platform personnel then handle the situation accordingly, ensuring timely rescue for the maintenance personnel. The helmet body 10 has an early warning function. When the toxic gas monitoring module 142 detects that the concentration of toxic gas exceeds the standard, or the combustible gas monitoring module 143 detects that the concentration of combustible gas exceeds the standard, the helmet body 10 will release an early warning signal, such as a voice prompt. Maintenance personnel can quickly leave the dangerous environment based on the early warning signal to ensure their safety. The helmet body 10 also has a voice recognition control function. The central control module 145 picks up and recognizes the voice of the maintenance personnel to control various functions of the helmet body 10. For example, the brightness of the lighting module 131 can be controlled through the voice recognition control function.

[0050] Of course, the helmet itself 10 can use 5G communication technology to exchange and store data with a cloud server, and use WIFI to connect with a display terminal. The display terminal can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, or a dedicated display screen, which can be fixed to the wrist of the maintenance personnel by straps or Velcro.

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, further considering that the support member 31 is used to support the helmet body 10, it needs to provide a space for the helmet body 10 and a space for the fixing component 40. In order to enable the support member 31 to have the corresponding functions, it is designed that, in some embodiments, the support member 31 includes a base plate 311, a side plate 312 and two abutment blocks 313. The first elastic member 32 is fixedly connected to the base plate 311 and the bottom wall of the cavity 21. The side plate 312 is arranged around the circumference of the base plate 311 to form a placement groove 3121 together with the base plate 311. The two abutment blocks 313 are arranged radially along the inner side plate 312 surface of the side plate 312 along the cavity 21, and the two abutment blocks 313 are located at the end of the side plate 312 away from the base plate 311. Each abutment block 313 has a groove 3131 on the surface of the groove bottom wall facing the placement groove 3121. The base plate 311, side plate 312 and two abutment blocks 313 are formed into an integral structure by injection molding. The two abutment blocks 313 are equivalent to two hanging ear structures protruding from the inner side plate 312 surface of the side plate 312. In this design, the base plate 311 and the side plate 312 together form a placement groove 3121 for accommodating the helmet body 10. The two abutment blocks 313 are provided with grooves 3131 for accommodating the fixing component 40. The maintenance personnel place the helmet body 10 into the placement groove 3121 through the groove opening. The helmet body 10 is rotated so that the periphery of the helmet body 10 is clamped between the abutment block 313 and the bottom wall of the placement groove 3121. When the helmet body 10 is rotated until the groove opening of the slot 111 is aligned with the groove opening of the groove 3131, the fixing component 40 moves relative to the groove 3131 in the first direction X toward the groove bottom wall away from the groove 3131 until it engages with the slot 111, thereby achieving relative fixation between the helmet body 10 and the support member 31.

[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, further considering that the fixing component 40 can move relative to the groove 3131 along the first direction X to engage with the slot 111 of the helmet body 10 to achieve relative fixation between the helmet body 10 and the support member 31, in order to enable the fixing component 40 to have the corresponding function, it is designed that, in some embodiments, the surface of each abutment block 313 facing away from the bottom wall of the placement groove 3121 is provided with a through hole 3132 communicating with the bottom wall of the groove 3131. The fixing component 40 includes two sets of fixing members 41, and each set of fixing members 41 is disposed in a groove 3131. Each set of fasteners 41 includes a locking block 411, a first spring 412, and a lever 413. The locking block 411 is slidably connected to the corresponding groove 3131 along the first direction X. The first spring 412 is set along the first direction X. One end of the first spring 412 is fixedly connected to the locking block 411, and the other end of the first spring 412 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the groove 3131. A portion of the lever 413 passes through the through hole 3132 to extend into the groove 3131 and is fixedly connected to the locking block 411. The first spring 412 is arranged around the portion of the lever 413 located in the groove 3131. In this process, the maintenance personnel place the helmet body 10 into the placement groove 3121 through the opening of the groove 3121, and then rotate the helmet body 10. Since the periphery of the helmet body 10 is curved, initially the periphery of the helmet body 10 abuts against the end face of the locking block 411, and the periphery of the helmet body 10 presses against the locking block 411. Under the action of the periphery of the helmet body 10, the locking block 411 compresses the first spring 412, and the first spring 412 compresses along the first direction X towards the bottom wall of the groove 3131. The movement causes the locking block 411 to retract into the groove 3131. When the helmet body 10 rotates until the opening of the slot 111 aligns with the opening of the groove 3131, the first spring 412 extends along the first direction X away from the bottom wall of the groove 3131 until it recovers its deformation. Under the elastic force of the first spring 412, the locking block 411 moves away from the bottom wall of the groove 3131 until it engages with the slot 111, thereby achieving relative fixation of the position between the helmet body 10 and the support member 31. When maintenance personnel need to wear the helmet body 10, they can pull the lever 413. The movement of the lever 413 causes the connected locking block 411 to squeeze the first spring 412 and move towards the bottom wall of the groove 3131 until the locking block 411 is completely retracted into the groove 3131 and disengaged from the slot 111. At this time, the maintenance personnel can rotate the helmet body 10 in the opposite direction to make the slot 111 and the groove 3131 misalign, thus separating the helmet body 10 from the support member 31.

[0053] like Figures 4-6As shown, further considering that the helmet body 10 and the support member 31 need to be engaged one-to-one with two sets of fixing members 41 and two slots 111 to ensure that the helmet body 10 can be stably placed on the support member 31, similarly, when the maintenance personnel need to wear the helmet body 10, the maintenance personnel also need to pull the lever 413 in the two sets of fixing members 41. In order to facilitate the operation of the maintenance personnel, it is designed that, in some embodiments, the fixing component 40 also includes a connector 42. The connector 42 is arranged around the circumference of the base plate 311. The connector 42 is fixedly connected to the two levers 413. The connector 42 is configured to move along the first direction X to drive the two levers 413 to move synchronously. The base plate 311 has an outer side plate 312 with an annular groove 3111 circumferentially arranged therearound it. The connector 42 includes a connecting ring 421 and two connecting rods 422. The connecting ring 421 is located inside the annular groove 3111, and the inner annular surface of the connecting ring 421 is in contact with the groove wall of the annular groove 3111. Each connecting rod 422 has a C-shaped structure. One end of each connecting rod 422 is fixedly connected to a corresponding lever 413, and the other end of each connecting rod 422 is fixedly connected to the connecting ring 421. In this design, when the maintenance personnel need to wear the helmet body 10, the maintenance personnel only need to pull one of the levers 413. The lever 413 moves along the first direction X, causing the connector 42 connected to it to also move along the first direction X. The connector 42 moves along the first direction X, causing the other lever 413 connected to it to also move along the first direction X, thereby realizing the synchronous movement of the two levers 413 along the first direction X. It should be noted that when the lever 413 drives the connecting rod 422 to move along the first direction X, and the connecting rod 422 drives the connecting ring 421 to move along the first direction X, since the inner annular surface of the connecting ring 421 is in contact with the groove wall of the annular groove 3111, the groove wall of the annular groove 3111 plays a guiding role in the movement of the connecting ring 421 along the first direction X, thus restricting the movement of the connecting ring 421 relative to the base plate 311 in a plane perpendicular to the first direction X, thereby ensuring the stability and smoothness of the lever 413's movement along the first direction X. When the locking block 411 engages with the slot 111 of the helmet body 10, the weight of the connecting ring 421 and the connecting rod 422 will be applied to the locking block 411 via the lever 413. At this time, the connecting ring 421 and the connecting rod 422 are equivalent to counterweights, which can stably engage the locking block 411 with the slot 111 of the helmet body 10, thereby effectively enhancing the connection stability between the helmet body 10 and the support member 31.

[0054] like Figures 1-2As shown, further considering that when the helmet carrying case 1 is dragged on an uneven road surface, the support member 31 will generate strong vibrations, which will also cause the helmet body 10 placed in the placement slot 3121 of the support member 31 to generate strong vibrations. This will cause precision components in the helmet body 10, such as the camera module 132 and the 3D scanning module 134, to be damaged by vibration. Since the camera module 132 and the 3D scanning module 134 are relatively expensive, in order to reduce the damage of vibration to the helmet body 10, the specific form of the first elastic member 32 and the form of other components of the support assembly 30 can be, but are not limited to, one or more of the following embodiments.

[0055] In the first embodiment, the first elastic element 32 is a spring damper 321. There are multiple spring dampers 321, with one end of each spring damper 321 fixedly connected to the support member 31 and the other end of each spring damper 321 fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 21. All spring dampers 321 are arranged in an array within the receiving cavity 21. Specifically, all spring dampers 321 can be arranged in a circular array or a rectangular array within the receiving cavity 21. In this design, by designing the two ends of the spring shock absorber 321 to be fixedly connected to the support member 31 and the bottom wall of the cavity 21 respectively, the spring shock absorber 321 can prolong the time of the vibration force generated by the support member 31. Therefore, under the same momentum change, the vibration force on the support member 31 is reduced, which plays a good role in buffering and shock absorption of the support member 31. Thus, it also plays a good role in buffering and shock absorption of the helmet body 10 placed in the placement slot 3121 of the support member 31. By designing all the spring shock absorbers 321 to be arranged in an array in the cavity 21, the buffering and shock absorption effect of all the spring shock absorbers 321 on the support member 31 is more evenly distributed.

[0056] In the second embodiment, the support assembly 30 further includes a second elastic element 33, which includes an elastic block 331. The elastic block 331 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 21 and is located in the middle of the receiving cavity 21. In this design, by designing the elastic block 331 and placing it in the middle of the receiving cavity 21, the elastic block 331 can provide good buffering and shock absorption for the support assembly 31. On the other hand, the elastic block 331 can also provide support for the support assembly 31, preventing all the weight of the support assembly 31 from acting on the spring shock absorber 321, thereby extending the service life of the spring shock absorber 321.

[0057] like Figures 1-2As shown, further considering that components such as the camera module 132, 3D scanning module 134, and lighting module 131 in the helmet body 10 require power to function properly, the helmet body 10 also includes a power module. This power module can, but is not limited to, supplying the electrical energy required for the camera module 132, 3D scanning module 134, and lighting module 131 to operate. To enable the power module to supply power to the camera module 132, 3D scanning module 134, and lighting module 131, the charging method for the power module of the helmet body 10 can, but is not limited to, one or more of the methods described in the following embodiments.

[0058] In the first embodiment, the support member 31 includes a base plate 311 and a cover plate 34. A first elastic member 32 is fixedly connected to the base plate 311 and the bottom wall of the cavity 21. The base plate 311 is provided with a first battery compartment 3112 on the side facing away from the bottom wall of the cavity 21. The cover plate 34 is hinged to the base plate 311 to open and close the opening of the first battery compartment 3112. The helmet carrying case 1 also includes a main battery 51 and a main charging head 52. The main battery 51 is installed in the first battery compartment 3112. The main charging head 52 is electrically connected to the main battery 51. The main battery 51 is configured to charge the power module of the helmet body 10 through the main charging head 52. The cover plate 34 is provided with a mounting hole 341 on the side near the hinge point. The main charging head 52 engages with the empty side wall of the mounting hole 341. In this design, the main battery 51 charges the power module of the helmet body 10 through the main charging head 52, ensuring that the power module has sufficient power to guarantee the normal operation of components such as the camera module 132, the 3D scanning module 134, and the lighting module 131. By designing a first battery compartment 3112 on the base plate 311, the main battery 51 is installed in the first battery compartment 3112. On the one hand, the installation of the main battery 51 mainly utilizes the internal space of the base plate 311, which allows the housing 20 to have more space to accommodate other components. On the other hand, the first elastic member 32 can also buffer and dampen the main battery 51 installed in the first battery compartment 3112, thereby extending the service life of the main battery 51. By designing a mounting hole 341 on the cover plate 34, the mounting hole 341 is used to install and fix the main charging head 52, so as to provide a mounting position for the main charging head 52 when it is idle. By designing the mounting hole 341 near the hinge point of the cover plate 34, it is easy for the cover plate 34 to open and close the opening of the first battery compartment 3112.

[0059] In the second embodiment, the housing 20 has a second battery compartment 22, and the helmet carrying case 1 also includes a spare battery 61 and a spare charging head 62. The spare battery 61 is installed in the second battery compartment 22, and the spare charging head 62 is electrically connected to the spare battery 61. The spare battery 61 is configured to charge the helmet body 10 through the spare charging head 62. The housing 20 also has a spare charging port for external power to charge the spare battery 61. In this design, the spare battery 61 charges the power module of the helmet body 10 through the spare charging head 62, ensuring that the power module has sufficient power, thereby ensuring the normal operation of components such as the camera module 132, the 3D scanning module 134, and the lighting module 131. By designing a spare charging port on the housing 20, external power can charge the spare battery 61 through the spare charging port, thereby ensuring that the spare battery 61 has sufficient power. Of course, the spare battery 61 can also charge the main battery 51 through the spare charging head 62.

[0060] like Figures 1-2 As shown, to facilitate the transport of the housing 20 by maintenance personnel, the helmet carrying case 1 may also include one or more other structural components as described in the following embodiments.

[0061] In the first embodiment, the helmet carrying case 1 further includes a pull rod 70, which is located on the back of the case 20 and is telescopic along a first direction X. That is, the pull rod 70 is a telescopic rod. The specific structure of the pull rod 70 is not limited here; designers can directly use existing telescopic rod structures. In this design, by designing a pull rod 70 that can extend and retract along the first direction X, maintenance personnel can extend and retract the pull rod 70 to a suitable length to tow the case 20, effectively improving the portability of the case 20 for maintenance personnel.

[0062] In the second embodiment, the helmet carrying case 1 also includes casters 80, which are located at the bottom of the case body 20. This design, by incorporating casters 80, allows the case body 20 to slide on the ground, effectively improving the portability for maintenance personnel to tow the case body 20.

[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, in the third embodiment, the housing 20 further includes a storage compartment 23 extending along a first direction X, which is separated from the receiving cavity 21. The helmet carrying case 1 also includes a partition 25 that divides the storage compartment 23 into a first sub-cavity 231 and a second sub-cavity 232. The first sub-cavity 231 is used to store items that are easily tipped over, such as a water bottle 81, and the second sub-cavity 232 is used to store items such as clothing. To prevent the water bottle 81 from tipping over, the helmet carrying case 1 also includes a positioning structure 90. The inner wall of the partition plate 25 and the case body 20 is also provided with a positioning groove 251. The positioning structure 90 is slidably connected to the positioning groove 251. The positioning structure 90 includes a positioning rod 91 and a second spring 92. The second spring 92 is arranged along the extension direction of the positioning groove 251 and surrounds the positioning rod 91. One end of the second spring 92 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the positioning groove 251, and the other end of the second spring 92 is fixedly connected to the positioning rod 91. The third positioning rod 91 is used to abut against the outer wall of the water bottle 81 to achieve relative fixation between the water bottle 81 and the case body 20. It should be noted that the part of the positioning rod 91 that fits against the outer wall of the water bottle 81 can be made of materials such as elastic rubber or elastic silicone grease. This prevents the positioning rod 91 from scratching the outer wall of the water bottle 81, and the resulting elastic deformation allows the positioning rod 91 to fit as tightly as possible against the outer wall of the water bottle 81, thereby enhancing the stability of the water bottle 81 when placed inside the case 20. In this design, the storage compartment 23 can be used to store items such as the water bottle 81, clothing, and tools, effectively improving the practicality of the helmet carrying case 1.
