[0024] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

It should be understood that the use of orientation words should not limit the scope of the application claimed.
[0027] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 The embodiment of the present application provides a cycling helmet for a cyclist to wear when riding a bicycle (including a pedal bicycle, an electric bicycle), a motorcycle and the like. The cycling helmet comprises a helmet 1 and a positioning device 2 arranged on the helmet 1. The positioning device 2 comprises a communication module 21, a positioning module 22, an acceleration sensor 23 and a control module 24. The communication module 21, the positioning module 22 and the acceleration sensor 23 are electrically connected to the control module 24. The communication module 21 is used for wireless communication, the positioning module 22 is used for receiving positioning information, and the control module 24 is used for wirelessly transmitting the positioning information received by the positioning module 22 to a cloud platform (not shown in the figure. The cloud platform is a cloud server) through the communication module 21. The mobile terminal device (such as a mobile phone, a computer and the like. The mobile terminal device of the user can be the mobile terminal device of the cyclist, or the mobile terminal device of others, such as the mobile terminal device of the guardian of the cyclist) of the user can interact with the cloud platform to obtain the positioning information (the specific functions and working principles of the communication module 21 and the positioning module 22 can be referred to the prior art, and will not be described here).
[0028] The acceleration sensor 23 is used for detecting the acceleration signal of the helmet 1 and converting the detected acceleration signal into an electrical signal to transmit to the control module 24. The acceleration signal of the helmet 1 can represent the acceleration signal of the vehicle. An indicator light 3 is arranged on the helmet 1, which is located above the top of the helmet 1. The indicator light 3 is electrically connected to the control module 24. The control module 24 is used for controlling the indicator light 3 to perform corresponding indication actions according to the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23.
[0029] Specifically, the acceleration sensor 23 (i.e. G-sensor) is a sensor for estimating the speed and displacement of an object by measuring the acceleration of the object, which can detect the acceleration of the object in the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions. The acceleration sensor 23 can detect the change of the acceleration force of the object (the acceleration force is the force acting on the object during acceleration, such as shaking, falling, rising, falling and various movement changes, which can be converted into an electrical signal by the G-sensor), measure the acceleration and inclination angle of the object, and further determine the motion state and posture of the object. The control module 24 determines the motion state and posture of the helmet 1 according to the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23 and through the preset posture algorithm, and determines the motion state and posture of the vehicle (for example, determines whether the vehicle is in a static, motion, left tilt, right tilt, acceleration, deceleration and the like). In the embodiment, the acceleration sensor 23 can be a three-axis acceleration sensor, a six-axis acceleration sensor and the like.
[0030] The riding helmet provided by the embodiment of the application is provided with the positioning device 2 and the indicator light 3 on the helmet 1, the positioning device 2 comprises the communication module 21, the positioning module 22, the acceleration sensor 23 and the control module 24, the positioning function of the riding helmet is realized by using the communication module 21 and the positioning module 22, so that the position of the rider is conveniently tracked and the safety of the rider is ensured. At the same time, the acceleration signal of the helmet 1 is detected by the acceleration sensor 23, the motion state and posture of the helmet 1 are determined by the control module 24 according to the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, and the motion state and posture of the vehicle are determined, so that the indicator light 3 is automatically controlled to perform the corresponding indicating action in the case of vehicle motion, turning, braking and the like, so as to play a prompting role on the surrounding drivers, realize the driving reminding function of the riding helmet, and improve the safety of driving.
[0031] As an implementation manner, the indicator light 3 comprises a turn signal and a brake light (not shown in the figure), and the turn signal and the brake light are electrically connected with the control module 24; When the control module 24 determines that the riding helmet is in a turning state (left turning or right turning) according to the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, the control module 24 controls the turn signal to perform the corresponding indicating action; When the control module 24 determines that the riding helmet is in a deceleration state according to the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, the control module 24 controls the brake light to perform the corresponding indicating action.
[0032] As an implementation manner, the indicator light 3 further comprises a driving light (not shown in the figure), and the driving light is electrically connected with the control module 24; When the control module 24 determines that the riding helmet is in a motion state according to the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, the control module 24 controls the driving light to perform the corresponding indicating action.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the positioning device 2 further includes a clock module 29, which provides time information. Specifically, the clock module 29 provides the current Beijing time. The clock module 29 is electrically connected to the control module 24. The control module 24 controls the vehicle lights to turn on during a preset time period at night and turn off during a preset time period during the day. Specifically, the preset time period at night can be from 18:00 to 06:00 Beijing time the next day, and the preset time period during the day can be from 6:00 to 18:00 Beijing time, etc. It should be noted that during the preset time period at night, the control module 24 will only turn on the running lights when it determines that the riding helmet is in motion based on the acceleration signal detected by the accelerometer 23. When the control module 24 determines that the riding helmet is stationary based on the acceleration signal detected by the accelerometer 23, the control module 24 will turn off the running lights. During the preset time period during the day, the control module 24 will turn off the running lights regardless of whether the riding helmet is in motion or stationary based on the acceleration signal detected by the accelerometer 23, in order to save power consumption.
[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the driving lights are used to indicate to surrounding drivers that the vehicle is in motion, the turn signals are used to indicate to surrounding drivers that the vehicle is turning, and the brake lights are used to indicate to surrounding drivers that the vehicle is braking. The driving lights are only turned on at night, while the turn signals and brake lights are on both day and night. In this embodiment, the driving lights and brake lights are not turned on simultaneously; that is, when the brake lights are on, the driving lights are off, and vice versa, to avoid misleading drivers. The turn signals are independently activated, meaning their activation and deactivation are not affected by the status of the driving lights and brake lights. In this embodiment, there is one turn signal, one driving light, and one brake light. The driving light is green and is constantly on when activated; the brake light is red and is constantly on when activated; and the turn signal is yellow and flashes when activated. In this embodiment, the indicator light 3 also includes a transparent cover that seals the turn signals, driving lights, and brake lights for waterproofing and dustproofing.
[0035] When riding at night, when the control module 24 determines that the riding helmet is in motion based on the acceleration signal detected by the accelerometer 23, the control module 24 controls the daytime running lights to turn on. When the control module 24 determines that the riding helmet is turning (left or right) based on the acceleration signal detected by the accelerometer 23, the control module 24 controls the turn signals to turn on and flash. When the control module 24 determines that the riding helmet is decelerating based on the acceleration signal detected by the accelerometer 23, the control module 24 controls the brake lights to turn on and the daytime running lights to turn off. After braking ends, the control module 24 controls the brake lights to turn off and the daytime running lights to turn on. During daytime riding, the daytime running lights are never turned on. When the control module 24 determines that the riding helmet is stationary based on the acceleration signal detected by the accelerometer 23, the control module 24 controls all indicator lights 3 to turn off. Of course, in other embodiments, the turn signals, daytime running lights, and brake lights can also be other colors of lights or have other operating logic.
[0036] In another embodiment, there can be two turn signals, namely a left turn signal and a right turn signal. When the control module 24 determines that the riding helmet is in a left turn state based on the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, the control module 24 controls the left turn signal to perform the corresponding indication action. When the control module 24 determines that the riding helmet is in a right turn state based on the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, the control module 24 controls the right turn signal to perform the corresponding indication action.
[0037] In another embodiment, indicator light 3 may further include an acceleration light; when the control module 24 determines that the riding helmet is in an acceleration state based on the acceleration signal detected by the accelerometer 23, the control module 24 controls the acceleration light to perform a corresponding indication action. For example, the acceleration light is a blue light, which is constantly on when turned on. When the control module 24 determines that the riding helmet is in an acceleration state based on the acceleration signal detected by the accelerometer 23, the control module 24 controls the acceleration light to turn on; after acceleration ends, the control module 24 controls the acceleration light to turn off. This not only further improves riding safety but also increases the enjoyment of riding.
[0038] As an implementation form, the control module 24 is further configured to send a falling / crashing alarm information (for example, send a short message or a telephone notice) to a preset mobile terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a computer or the like of a guardian or an emergency contact person of the rider) through the communication module 21 when the acceleration signal value detected by the acceleration sensor 23 exceeds a preset value, and upload the falling / crashing alarm information to a cloud platform. Specifically, during the riding process, when the acceleration sensor 23 detects that the accelerations in the XYZ directions all exceed a threshold value, the control module 24 determines that the vehicle has fallen or crashed, and at this time, the control module 24 sends a falling / crashing alarm information to the preset mobile terminal device through the communication module 21 to inform the relevant personnel of the situation, further protect the personal safety of the rider, and realize the falling / crashing alarm function of the riding helmet.
[0039] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 As an implementation form, the positioning device 2 further includes a Bluetooth module 26 and a speaker 27, both of which are electrically connected to the control module 24. The Bluetooth module 26 is configured to perform Bluetooth communication with the mobile terminal device of the rider, and the speaker 27 is configured to play audio sent by the mobile terminal device of the rider to the positioning device 2, thereby realizing the interaction function and the audio playing function of the positioning device 2 and the mobile terminal device of the rider. In specific use, after the Bluetooth module 26 establishes a Bluetooth communication connection with the mobile terminal device of the rider, the mobile terminal device of the rider can play music, navigation prompts and the like through the speaker 27 of the positioning device 2.
[0040] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 As an implementation form, the positioning device 2 further includes a voice navigation module 28, which is electrically connected to the control module 24. The voice navigation module 28 is configured to perform voice navigation based on a voice instruction of the rider. The voice navigation module 28 includes a voice recognition module configured to recognize the voice instruction of the rider, a route planning module configured to plan a route, the positioning module 22 and the speaker 27 described above, the voice recognition module receives the voice instruction of the rider, the route planning module plans a path according to the voice instruction of the rider and the current positioning information received by the positioning module 22, and the speaker 27 plays the real-time path, thereby realizing the voice navigation function. The specific structure and function of the voice navigation module 28 can be known from the prior art, and thus will not be described here.
[0041] As shown in Figures 1 to 5As shown, as an embodiment, the inner wall of the helmet 1 is provided with a wearing detection component 5 for detecting whether the helmet 1 is worn by the rider, and the wearing detection component 5 is electrically connected with the control module 24. When the control module 24 judges that the riding helmet is in a motion state according to the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, and the wearing detection component 5 detects that the helmet 1 is not worn by the rider, the control module 24 sends the non-wearing helmet alarm information to the preset mobile terminal device through the communication module 21. When the control module 24 judges that the riding helmet is in a stationary state according to the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, no matter whether the wearing detection component 5 detects that the helmet 1 is worn by the rider or not, the control module 24 will not perform the alarm action.
[0042] Specifically, by setting the acceleration sensor 23 and the wearing detection component 5, the acceleration signal of the helmet 1 is detected by the acceleration sensor 23, the control module 24 judges whether the helmet 1 is in a motion state according to the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, and the wearing detection component 5 is used to detect whether the helmet 1 is worn by the rider. When the vehicle is in a riding state and the helmet 1 is not worn, the control module 24 sends the non-wearing helmet alarm information to the preset mobile terminal device through the communication module 21, so that the relevant personnel (including but not limited to the rider himself, the guardian of the rider, the emergency contact of the rider, the traffic police, etc.) know the situation, so as to supervise the rider (especially when the rider is a minor), protect the personal safety of the rider, and realize the wearing detection alarm function of the riding helmet.
[0043] As an embodiment, when the control module 24 judges that the riding helmet is in a motion state according to the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, and the wearing detection component 5 detects that the helmet 1 is not worn by the rider, the control module 24 also controls the loudspeaker 27 to perform sound alarm to prompt and supervise the rider.
[0044] Specifically, in actual application, when the rider is riding the vehicle, if the rider does not wear the riding helmet but places the riding helmet on the vehicle, since the acceleration sensor 23 can detect that the helmet 1 is in a motion state during the riding process, when the wearing detection component 5 detects that the helmet 1 is not worn by the rider, the control module 24 sends the non-wearing helmet alarm information to the preset mobile terminal device through the communication module 21 to alarm and prompt the relevant personnel, and the loudspeaker 27 performs sound alarm (such as emitting a buzzing sound or other prompt sound) to prompt the rider and urge the rider to wear the helmet 1.
[0045] As shown, as an embodiment, the inner wall of the helmet 1 is provided with a wearing detection component 5 for detecting whether the helmet 1 is worn by the rider, and the wearing detection component 5 is electrically connected with the control module 24. When the control module 24 judges that the riding helmet is in a motion state according to the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, and the wearing detection component 5 detects that the helmet 1 is not worn by the rider, the control module 24 sends the non-wearing helmet alarm information to the preset mobile terminal device through the communication module 21. When the control module 24 judges that the riding helmet is in a stationary state according to the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, no matter whether the wearing detection component 5 detects that the helmet 1 is worn by the rider or not, the control module 24 will not perform the alarm action. Figures 1 to 5As shown, in one embodiment, the helmet detection component 5 includes a pressure sensor 51, which is electrically connected to the control module 24. When the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 51 is less than a threshold, the control module 24 determines that the helmet 1 is not being worn by the cyclist; when the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 51 is greater than or equal to the threshold, the control module 24 determines that the helmet 1 has been worn by the cyclist.
[0046] Specifically, the pressure sensor 51 can be disposed on the inner wall of the top of the helmet 1, and the pressure sensor 51 can be a thin-film pressure sensor. When the helmet 1 has a single-layer structure (i.e., the helmet 1 has only one layer), the pressure sensor 51 can be disposed on the inner wall of the helmet 1 to directly contact the rider's head; when the helmet 1 has a double-layer structure (i.e., the helmet 1 has two layers connected by an inner and outer shell, the outer layer being a hard layer and the inner layer being a soft layer), the pressure sensor 51 can be disposed between the inner and outer layers of the helmet 1, that is, the pressure sensor 51 indirectly contacts the rider's head. In some embodiments, an elastic element (such as a spring, a flexible pad, etc.) can also be disposed between the pressure sensor 51 and the inner wall of the helmet 1 to provide a buffering effect and avoid rigid contact between the pressure sensor 51 and the rider's head. When a cyclist wears a helmet, their head directly or indirectly applies pressure to the pressure sensor 51, resulting in a higher pressure value detected by the sensor. Based on this, the control module 24 determines that the helmet 1 is being worn. Conversely, when a cyclist is not wearing a helmet, their head does not apply pressure to the pressure sensor 51, resulting in a lower pressure value detected by the sensor. Based on this, the control module 24 determines that the helmet 1 is not being worn. The threshold value is greater than or equal to 0; preferably, the threshold value is greater than 0 to prevent false alarms.
[0047] like Figure 8 As shown, in another embodiment, the wear detection component 5 includes a light sensor 52 and a light-emitting device 53. The light-emitting device 53 can be an LED light, a laser light, etc. Both the light sensor 52 and the light-emitting device 53 are electrically connected to the control module 24. The light sensor 52 and the light-emitting device 53 are respectively disposed on the inner walls of opposite sides of the helmet 1. When the light sensor 52 can detect the light emitted by the light-emitting device 53, the control module 24 determines that the helmet 1 is not being worn by the cyclist; when the light sensor 52 cannot detect the light emitted by the light-emitting device 53, the control module 24 determines that the helmet 1 has been worn by the cyclist. At the same time, when the control module 24 determines that the cycling helmet is in motion based on the acceleration signal detected by the accelerometer 23, the control module 24 controls the light-emitting device 53 to turn on; when the control module 24 determines that the cycling helmet is stationary based on the acceleration signal detected by the accelerometer 23, the control module 24 controls the light-emitting device 53 to turn off to save power.
[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the light sensor 52 is arranged on the inner wall of the front side of the helmet 1, and the light emitting device 53 is arranged on the inner wall of the rear side of the helmet 1. When the control module 24 determines that the cycling helmet is in a moving state according to the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, the control module 24 controls the light emitting device 53 to turn on. When the helmet 1 is not worn by the cyclist, the light emitted by the light emitting device 53 is not blocked by the head of the cyclist, and at this time the light sensor 52 can detect the light emitted by the light emitting device 53. When the helmet 1 is worn by the cyclist, the light emitted by the light emitting device 53 is blocked by the head of the cyclist, and at this time the light sensor 52 cannot detect the light emitted by the light emitting device 53. In this embodiment, the reason why the light emitting device 53 is used to provide the light source instead of directly using the ambient light as the light source is that there may be no ambient light in the outside world at night, at which time the light sensor 52 cannot detect the light at all, which will cause the wearing detection alarm function of the cycling helmet to fail.
[0049] Of course, in other embodiments, the wearing detection component 5 can also have other structural forms.
[0050] As shown in Figures 1 to 6 As an embodiment, the positioning device 2 further includes a shell (not numbered in the figure), a circuit board 20 and a battery 25, the circuit board 20 and the battery 25 are arranged in the shell, the communication module 21, the positioning module 22, the acceleration sensor 23, the control module 24, the Bluetooth module 26, the loudspeaker 27, the voice navigation module 28 and the clock module 29 are all arranged on the circuit board 20 and are all electrically connected with the circuit board 20, and the battery 25 is electrically connected with the circuit board 20, thereby providing power for each component.
[0051] As shown in Figures 1 to 6As shown, in one embodiment, the helmet 1 includes a helmet body 11 and a mounting member 12. The mounting member 12 is disposed above the helmet body 11 and is detachably connected to the helmet body 11. A mounting cavity 10 is formed between the mounting member 12 and the helmet body 11. A positioning device 2 is disposed within the mounting cavity 10 and is fixed to the mounting member 12. Specifically, the positioning device 2 is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting member 12. An indicator light 3 is disposed on the mounting member 12 and is located above the mounting member 12. A wear detection component 5 is disposed on the inner wall of the helmet body 11. By providing the mounting member 12, during assembly, the positioning device 2 and the indicator light 3 can be installed on the mounting member 12 first, and then the mounting member 12 can be installed on the helmet body 11, thus facilitating assembly. At the same time, since the mounting member 12 is detachably connected to the helmet body 11, it is convenient to disassemble the mounting member 12, thereby facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the positioning device 2. The indicator light 3 and the wear detection component 5 are electrically connected to the circuit board 20 of the positioning device 2 via wires (not shown), thereby realizing the electrical signal connection between the indicator light 3 and the wear detection component 5 and the control module 24 and supplying power to the indicator light 3 and the wear detection component 5. The wires run through the mounting cavity 10.
[0052] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting member 12 is a long strip structure, extending from the front side of the helmet body 11 to the rear side of the helmet body 11. The mounting member 12 includes an interconnected receiving section 121 and an arc-shaped section 122. The receiving section 121 is located in front of the arc-shaped section 122 and is situated on the front side of the helmet body 11. The arc-shaped section 122 is an arc-shaped structure similar in shape to the outer surface of the helmet body 11, extending from the front side of the helmet body 11 to the rear side of the helmet body 11. The receiving section 121 and the arc-shaped section 122 can be an integral structure or separate structures. A positioning device 2 is disposed within the receiving section 121, and is located between the receiving section 121 and the helmet body 11. The positioning device 2 is fixed to the inner wall of the receiving section 121. An indicator light 3 is disposed at the front end of the arc-shaped section 122, thus bringing the indicator light 3 and the positioning device 2 close together for easy electrical connection.
[0053] In the embodiment, the accommodating section 121 is a straight structure arranged from top to bottom obliquely (the accommodating section 121 can also be a straight structure arranged vertically), and the accommodating section 121 is not an arc structure, so as to facilitate accommodating the positioning device 2. The outer wall of the accommodating section 121 is a plane structure (the outer wall of the accommodating section 121 can be a plane structure completely or substantially), and the outer wall of the accommodating section 121 is provided with the solar panel 4, and the solar panel 4 is electrically connected with the battery 25 in the positioning device 2, so as to charge the battery 25 (specifically, the solar panel 4 is electrically connected with the circuit board 20 to be electrically connected with the battery 25 through the circuit board 20). On the one hand, since the outer wall of the accommodating section 121 is a plane structure and the solar panel 4 is a flat structure, the solar panel 4 can be arranged conveniently and receive the sunlight conveniently. On the other hand, since the solar panel 4 is arranged on the outer wall of the accommodating section 121 and the positioning device 2 is arranged on the inner wall of the accommodating section 121, the solar panel 4 and the positioning device 2 are close to each other, so as to facilitate electrical connection between the solar panel 4 and the positioning device 2. In the embodiment, the outer wall of the accommodating section 121 is provided with an accommodating groove (not labeled in the figure), and the solar panel 4 is fixedly arranged in the accommodating groove.
[0054] Meanwhile, in the embodiment, at least the arc section 122 is a transparent light guide structure, and the accommodating section 121 can be a transparent light guide structure or an opaque structure. Since the arc section 122 is a transparent light guide structure and the indicating lamp 3 is arranged on the arc section 122, the light emitted by the indicating lamp 3 can be transmitted to the arc section 122, that is, the arc section 122 can amplify the light emitted by the indicating lamp 3, so that the light emitted by the indicating lamp 3 is more eye-catching. Therefore, the power and size of the indicating lamp 3 do not need to be set to be large, so as to achieve a good prompting effect, save power consumption, and improve the appearance. In the embodiment, the accommodating section 121 and the arc section 122 are an integral structure, and the entire mounting piece 12 is made of transparent plastic material. However, the surface of the accommodating section 121 is provided with light-shielding ink, so that the accommodating section 121 is an opaque structure. The surface of the arc section 122 is not provided with light-shielding ink, so that the arc section 122 is a transparent light guide structure (in other embodiments, the accommodating section 121 and the arc section 122 can be a split structure, the accommodating section 121 is made of an opaque material, and the arc section 122 is made of a transparent light guide material). Since the accommodating section 121 is an opaque structure, the accommodating section 121 can shield the positioning device 2, so as to improve the concealment of the positioning device 2. Of course, in other embodiments, the accommodating section 121 can also be a transparent light guide structure. Since the outer wall of the accommodating section 121 is provided with the solar panel 4, the solar panel 4 is an opaque structure, and the solar panel 4 can also shield the positioning device 2.
[0055] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, in one embodiment, the inner wall of the receiving section 121 is provided with a mounting bracket 14, and the positioning device 2 is disposed on the mounting bracket 14. The mounting bracket 14 is used to limit and position the positioning device 2. The positioning device 2 and the receiving section 121 can be fixed by snap-fit, screw connection or other means.
[0056] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting member 12 is fixed to the helmet body 11 by snap-fit, so as to achieve a detachable connection between the two. Specifically, the mounting member 12 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit portions 124 at intervals, and the mounting member 12 is fixed to the helmet body 11 by snap-fit portions 124.
[0057] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting member 12 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 123 at intervals, and the top of the helmet body 11 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 111 at intervals. Both the heat dissipation holes 123 and the ventilation holes 111 are connected to the mounting cavity 10. The mounting member 12 is provided corresponding to the ventilation holes 111, that is, the ventilation holes 111 are covered by the mounting member 12. In this embodiment, the heat dissipation holes 123 are provided on the side wall of the arc-shaped segment 122. A plurality of heat dissipation holes 123 are provided at intervals on the side walls of the arc-shaped segment 122 on both sides. The arc-shaped segment 122 is provided corresponding to the ventilation holes 111, that is, the ventilation holes 111 are covered by the arc-shaped segment 122. The advantages of this design include: firstly, the heat generated by the positioning device 2 during operation can be dissipated to the outside through the heat dissipation hole 123; secondly, during riding, the heat from the human head will be dissipated to the outside through the ventilation hole 111, the mounting cavity 10, and the heat dissipation hole 123 in sequence, thus providing ventilation and heat dissipation for the human head; and thirdly, since the ventilation hole 111 is covered by the mounting component 12, it can prevent rainwater and dust from directly entering the helmet body 11 through the ventilation hole 111 (in rainy conditions, when a small amount of rainwater passes through the heat dissipation hole 123...). 3. After entering the mounting part 12, the rainwater will be discharged to the outside of the mounting part 12 through the installation gap between the mounting part 12 and the helmet body 11. On the other hand, the sound played by the speaker 27 in the positioning device 2 can be conducted to the outside of the mounting cavity 10 through the heat dissipation hole 123 and the ventilation hole 111, and then finally to the rider's ears to improve the clarity of the sound (if the heat dissipation hole 123 and the ventilation hole 111 are not provided, the sound played by the speaker 27 will be limited to the mounting cavity 10, making it impossible for the rider to hear the sound played by the speaker 27 clearly).
[0058] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in one embodiment, the top of the helmet body 11 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 112, which are spaced apart from each other. The protrusions 112 are formed by protruding upward from the top wall of the helmet body 11, and ventilation holes 111 are provided on the front sidewall of the protrusions 112. By providing the protrusions 112, the aesthetics and structural strength of the helmet body 11 can be improved, and the placement of the ventilation holes 111 can be facilitated.
[0059] like Figure 7 As shown, in another embodiment, an aromatherapy bracket 13 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting component 12. The aromatherapy bracket 13 is specifically disposed on the inner wall of the arc-shaped segment 122. The aromatherapy bracket 13 is used to install an aromatherapy diffuser (not shown in the figure; the diffuser can be an aromatherapy tablet). The fragrance emitted by the diffuser can be conducted to the outside of the mounting cavity 10 through the heat dissipation hole 123 and the ventilation hole 111, so that the rider can smell the fragrance emitted by the diffuser, improving the user experience and comfort. Specifically, when the cycling helmet is not in use, most of the fragrance emitted by the diffuser will accumulate inside the mounting cavity 10; during riding, the fragrance inside the mounting cavity 10 can be quickly dispersed and smelled by the rider. After the fragrance on the aromatherapy bracket 13 has evaporated, the mounting component 12 can be removed and a new aromatherapy diffuser can be replaced.
[0060] In one implementation, communication module 21 is a 2G / 4G dual-band network communication module, meaning it is compatible with both 2G and 4G networks. Positioning module 22 is a GPS / BD dual-positioning module, meaning it is compatible with both GPS and BeiDou positioning. Positioning device 2 also includes a communication antenna and a positioning antenna (not shown). The communication antenna is electrically connected to communication module 21 via circuit board 20, and the positioning antenna is electrically connected to positioning module 22 via circuit board 20. The communication antenna is used to send and receive communication information, and the positioning antenna is used to receive positioning information. Control module 24 can be an MCU (microcontroller unit), etc.
[0061] In one embodiment, the mounting component 12 has a charging interface (not shown) on its shell wall, which is electrically connected to the battery 25 inside the positioning device 2. When the solar panel 4 provides insufficient power, the battery 25 can be charged through the charging interface. Of course, in other embodiments, the charging interface can also be provided on the shell wall of the positioning device 2; when the solar panel 4 provides insufficient power, the mounting component 12 can be removed, and then the battery 25 can be charged through the charging interface.
