Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of special equipment, and in particular to a method for designing the internal structure of a helmet based on a fractal geometry model. Background Art

[0002] With the development of industrial design and safety technology, helmets have become an important protective equipment to protect personal safety and are widely used in transportation, construction, extreme sports and military fields. In these scenarios, helmets need to have good impact resistance to protect the head from injury, while also meeting the requirements of lightweight, breathability and comfort. Traditional helmet designs find it difficult to strike a balance between these performances.

[0003] At present, the internal structure of the helmet usually adopts an integrated buffer material design, such as polystyrene or other foam materials. The material protects the user's head by absorbing and dispersing impact energy, but there are obvious technical limitations. Traditional helmet design mainly relies on the physical properties of the material to improve protection capabilities, so it is necessary to increase the thickness of the material to improve the energy absorption effect, which directly leads to an increase in the weight of the helmet and affects the comfort of the wearer. In addition, the dense distribution of the material limits the breathability of the helmet, which can easily cause discomfort to the user when worn for a long time or in a high temperature environment.

[0004] In recent years, some improved helmet designs have attempted to optimize performance by introducing new materials, but the following problems have been exposed in practical applications: On the one hand, the manufacturing cost of new materials is high and it is difficult to promote them on a large scale; on the other hand, traditional geometric design methods are insufficient in optimizing complex mechanical properties, making it difficult to efficiently disperse impact energy and ensure lightweight and breathable structures. When facing multi-directional impacts or non-uniform force distribution, traditional designs have difficulty in achieving multi-level dispersion and absorption of energy.

[0005] In summary, the prior art has significant defects in the following aspects:

[0006] 1. The balance between protective performance and weight: Traditional helmets improve protective performance by increasing material thickness, but this also increases the weight of the helmet, affecting the comfort of long-term wearing.

[0007] 2. Insufficient breathability: The dense material distribution limits the air circulation performance of the helmet, which can easily cause discomfort when used in high temperature or high humidity environments.

[0008] 3. Insufficient optimization of complex mechanical properties: Existing design methods are difficult to cope with multi-directional impacts and non-uniform force distribution, and the energy absorption effect is limited.

[0009] In response to the above problems, there is an urgent need for a helmet design method that can combine advanced geometric modeling technology and algorithm optimization to achieve multi-objective comprehensive optimization of protective performance, lightweight and breathability, and solve the shortcomings of existing technologies.

The event was located in the desert terrain with an ambient temperature of up to 40°C. The athletes needed to wear helmets continuously for long-term mountain riding and rock climbing challenges.

[0190] One day before the competition, the technical team registered the equipment of all contestants, including helmets of traditional design and helmets designed according to the present invention. 50 contestants were randomly selected for the test, 25 of whom wore traditional helmets and 25 wore helmets designed according to the present invention. The groups were numbered as Group A (traditional design) and Group B (designed according to the present invention).

[0191] During the test, the temperature, humidity, and impact force sensor data inside each athlete’s helmet are recorded in real time. The equipment numbers are sensors ID001 to ID050. The data is uploaded to the cloud database at a frequency of 10 times per second for real-time analysis.

[0192] Event 1: Air permeability test under high temperature conditions

[0193] In the third hour of the cycling challenge, athlete ID013 (Group B) reported that the temperature inside the helmet was significantly lower than usual. Through sensor data analysis, it was found that under the conditions of an ambient temperature of 40°C and a humidity of 50%, the internal temperature of the helmet designed by the present invention worn by athlete ID013 was 37.2°C and the humidity was 65%, which was significantly improved compared to the internal temperature (41.8°C) and humidity (78%) of the traditional helmet worn by athlete ID005 in Group A.

[0194] Further analysis of the data showed that the porosity distribution of athlete ID013's helmet showed that the porosity of the top area of ​​the helmet was 42%, and the porosity of the forehead area was 36%, which effectively promoted air circulation inside the helmet and reduced heat accumulation under high temperature conditions. After the event, athlete ID013 reported that the helmet maintained good comfort throughout the entire ride, and there was no stuffiness or excessive sweating on the head.

[0195] Event 2: Impact performance verification

[0196] During the rock climbing challenge, contestant ID026 (Group B) fell from a height of 2.5 meters due to a mistake in his footwork, and the top of his helmet collided with hard rock. Sensor data showed that the instantaneous impact force on the top of the helmet reached 1568 N, while the dispersed impact force recorded by the sensor inside the helmet was 362 N, which is far below the safety threshold of the human head (800 N). In comparison, contestant ID018 from Group A fell under similar conditions with an impact force of 1896 N, and the dispersed impact force recorded by the sensor inside the helmet was 735 N. Although it did not exceed the safety threshold, it caused obvious shock to the head.

[0197] Subsequent inspection found that the helmet worn by athlete ID026 still maintained the integrity of its overall structure after the collision. The multi-level energy-absorbing structure of the fractal geometry model effectively dispersed the impact energy to each level of the helmet network, while traditionally designed helmets experienced local material compression and deformation under high impact forces, resulting in reduced energy absorption efficiency.

[0198] Event 3: Long-term wearing comfort test

[0199] The final stage of the event was a 6-hour high-temperature off-road challenge, during which the contestants needed to wear helmets continuously to complete the race. Through real-time data monitoring, it was found that the internal temperature of the helmets of Group B contestants was maintained at an average of 38°C and the humidity was 70% during the entire process. Compared with the internal temperature (43°C) and humidity (82%) of the helmets of Group A contestants, the helmets designed by the present invention had significant advantages.

[0200] Player ID034 (Group B) said in an interview after the game that the lightweight design of the helmet made it possible to wear it for a long time without noticeable fatigue, and there was no discomfort in the head and neck after the game. Analysis showed that the total weight of the helmet designed by the present invention was 425 g, while the average weight of the traditional helmet of Group A was 560 g. The lightweight design significantly reduced the burden on the players.

[0201] In the test, 50 players were randomly selected, 25 of whom wore traditional helmets and 25 wore helmets designed based on the present invention. The comparative data analysis of the groups numbered as Group A (traditional design) and Group B (design of the present invention) is shown in Table 1 below:

[0202] Table 1 Comparison data of test indicators

[0203] Test indicators Traditional Helmets (Group A) Helmets of the present invention (Group B) Average internal temperature (℃) 42.5 37.8 Average internal humidity (%) 78 68 Collision impact force dispersion (N) 735 362 Total weight (g) 560 425 Long-term wearing comfort score (out of 10) 7.2 9.1

[0204] Through the application in real extreme sports events, this embodiment verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of the design method of the present invention. The test results show that the helmet designed by the present invention is significantly better than the traditional design in terms of energy absorption performance, light weight and breathability, especially in extreme conditions of high temperature, long-term wear and sudden impact, and shows excellent performance, providing higher safety and comfort experience for extreme sports enthusiasts.

[0205] The present invention applies fractal geometry models to the design of helmet energy absorption structures, and utilizes the self-similarity and multi-level characteristics of fractal geometry to construct a three-dimensional energy absorption structure in the form of a Menger sponge. The energy absorption structure of traditional helmets is usually designed with uniformly distributed materials, while the present invention uses fractal geometry to achieve the gradual dispersion and dissipation of impact energy in a multi-level network, thereby greatly improving the energy absorption performance. Simulation results show that compared with the traditional helmet design with uniformly distributed materials, the present invention improves the multi-directional impact energy dispersion efficiency by more than 22%, while significantly reducing the risk of injury to the head from a single-point impact.

[0206] The present invention introduces graph neural network and reinforcement learning policy gradient method into the ant colony algorithm, models the design problem of the helmet energy absorption structure as a Markov decision process, and realizes efficient optimization of material distribution and structural parameters by extracting the correlation information of multi-level nodes in the fractal geometry model through the graph neural network. Compared with the traditional topology optimization method, the present invention significantly improves the design efficiency and optimization effect. Experimental results show that the total mass of the optimized helmet is reduced by 18%, and lightweight design is achieved while ensuring energy absorption performance.

[0207] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
