Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of safety helmets, and in particular to a helmet structure which is convenient for adjusting the size of head circumference. Background Art
[0002] Wearing a helmet can effectively protect the head and reduce injuries. It is the most effective way to protect people riding bicycles, electric vehicles, motorcycles and other sports. The head injury rate without a helmet is 2.5 times that of wearing a helmet, and the fatal injury rate without a helmet is 1.5 times that of wearing a helmet. The helmet can disperse and absorb impact force. The deformation or cracks of the helmet when impacted and the internal padding can also play a buffering role and absorb part of the impact force, thereby protecting the head.
[0003] At present, the most commonly used way to adjust the head circumference of helmets is to use plastic belts and thin ropes to adjust the size. The area in contact with the head surface is small and the material is very hard. After being locked, it will squeeze the head and give the head a sense of pressure. The head circumference is not well wrapped and it is uncomfortable to wear for a long time, so many people will feel uncomfortable and take off the helmet even if they want to wear it.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a helmet structure that can effectively wrap the head and ensure safety while also ensuring comfort when worn. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a helmet structure that is convenient for adjusting the size of the head circumference, which drives the flexible liner to shrink and expand by adjusting the knob of the adjuster to achieve the adjustment of the size of the head circumference. In addition, the flexible liner is made into one piece with the hard sheet material, and the head circumference size can be adjusted while adjusting the liner, which also achieves the adjustment of the head circumference size.
[0006] The present invention is achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:
[0007] A helmet structure for conveniently adjusting the size of the head circumference comprises: a helmet body, a fixing buckle, a flexible liner, a connecting belt and an adjuster; the flexible liner and the helmet body are connected and fixed by the fixing buckle, the adjuster and the connecting belt need to be assembled together to form an adjustment mechanism, and the end of the connecting belt is connected and fixed to the flexible liner by the fixing buckle to form a complete head circumference adjustment system.
[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of fixing buckles are provided on the helmet body, and the fixing buckles include but are not limited to a front fixing buckle and a rear fixing buckle.
[0009] Furthermore, the front end fixing buckle is used to fix the flexible liner on the helmet body.
[0010] Furthermore, the rear end fixing buckle is used to fix the connecting belt on the flexible inner liner.
[0011] Furthermore, the regulator is used to adjust the contraction and expansion of the flexible inner liner to achieve size adjustment of the head circumference.
[0012] Furthermore, when the regulator is locked, the entire flexible liner wraps around the user's head.
[0013] Furthermore, the flexible liner and the helmet body are separate double-layer structures.
[0014] Furthermore, the flexible liner is made of flexible materials such as EPP, EPS, EPO, EVA, PU, and foam.
[0015] Furthermore, the helmet body includes but is not limited to a plastic material shell, a composite material shell, an EPS material body, an EPP material body and a helmet body made of other materials.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:
[0017] (1) By using a flexible liner made of flexible materials such as EPP, EPS, EPO, EVA, PU, foam, etc., the liner can be contracted or expanded by adjusting the knob or pushing the button to adjust the head circumference size, and can be adapted to various types of helmets. When locked, the entire flexible material liner wraps around the head circumference, which is very comfortable and suitable for long-term wear.
[0018] (2) The liner and the main body are separated into a double-layer structure. The liner made of flexible material has excellent energy absorption. This double-layer structure can better protect the head and improve safety performance when the helmet is subjected to external force.
[0019] (3) The flexible liner made of flexible materials has lower density and better absorbs external impact energy, which can significantly reduce the weight of the finished helmet and provide users with a more comfortable wearing experience. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
