Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of helmet structure technology, and in particular to a cycling helmet. Background Technology

[0002] To ensure driving safety, cyclists generally wear helmets when riding bicycles, motorcycles, and other two-wheeled vehicles.

[0003] Most helmets currently available provide good protection for cyclists' heads. However, they generally lack GPS tracking, meaning that in the event of an accident, the cyclist's location cannot be traced through the helmet. Furthermore, most helmets lack helmet-wearing detection and alarm functions; if the cyclist is not wearing a helmet, the helmet cannot detect the wear and issue an alarm, thus compromising the cyclist's safety. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cycling helmet with a positioning function to facilitate tracking of the cyclist's location, and a wearing detection alarm function to ensure the cyclist's personal safety.

[0005] This invention provides a cycling helmet, including a helmet and a positioning device disposed on the helmet. The positioning device includes a communication module, a positioning module, an acceleration sensor, and a control module. The acceleration sensor is used to detect the acceleration signal of the helmet. The communication module, the positioning module, and the acceleration sensor are all electrically connected to the control module. A wearing detection component is provided on the inner wall of the helmet. The wearing detection component is used to detect whether the helmet is being worn by a cyclist. The wearing detection component is electrically connected to the control module. When the control module determines that the cycling helmet is in motion based on the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor, and the wearing detection component detects that the helmet is not being worn by the cyclist, the control module sends a helmet-not-worn alarm message to a preset mobile terminal device through the communication module.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the positioning device further includes a speaker, which is electrically connected to the control module; When the control module determines that the cycling helmet is in motion based on the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor, and the wearing detection component detects that the helmet is not being worn by the cyclist, the control module controls the speaker to sound an alarm.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the control module is further configured to send fall / collision alarm information to a preset mobile terminal device via the communication module when the acceleration signal value detected by the acceleration sensor exceeds a preset value.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the wear detection component includes a pressure sensor that is electrically connected to the control module. When the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is less than the threshold, the control module determines that the helmet is not being worn by the cyclist. When the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is greater than or equal to the threshold, the control module determines that the helmet has been worn by the cyclist.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the wear detection component includes a light sensor and a light-emitting device, both of which are electrically connected to the control module. The light sensor and the light-emitting device are respectively disposed on the inner walls of opposite sides of the helmet. When the light sensor can detect the light emitted by the light-emitting device, the control module determines that the helmet is not being worn by the cyclist; When the light sensor cannot detect the light emitted by the light-emitting device, the control module determines that the helmet has been worn by the cyclist.

[0010] In one possible implementation, when the control module determines that the cycling helmet is in motion based on the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor, the control module controls the light-emitting device to turn on. When the control module determines that the cycling helmet is stationary based on the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor, the control module controls the light-emitting device to turn off.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the positioning device further includes a voice navigation module, which is electrically connected to the control module; the voice navigation module is used to perform voice navigation based on the rider's voice commands.

[0012] In one possible embodiment, the helmet includes a helmet body and a mounting component, the mounting component being disposed above the helmet body and detachably connected to the helmet body; a mounting cavity is formed between the mounting component and the helmet body, a positioning device is disposed within the mounting cavity and fixed to the mounting component; and a wearing detection component is disposed on the inner wall of the helmet body.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the mounting component is provided with an indicator light, which is electrically connected to the control module; the control module is used to control the indicator light to perform corresponding indicating actions based on the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the mounting component is provided with heat dissipation holes, and the top of the helmet body is provided with ventilation holes. Both the heat dissipation holes and the ventilation holes are connected to the mounting cavity, and the mounting component is provided corresponding to the ventilation holes. The inner wall of the mounting component is provided with an aromatherapy bracket, which is used to install aromatherapy products. The fragrance emitted by the aromatherapy products can be conducted to the outside of the mounting cavity through the heat dissipation holes and the ventilation holes.

[0015] The cycling helmet provided by this invention features a positioning device, comprising a communication module, a positioning module, and a control module. The communication and positioning modules enable the helmet's positioning function, facilitating rider location tracking and ensuring rider safety. Simultaneously, by incorporating an accelerometer and a helmet-wearing detection component, the accelerometer detects the helmet's acceleration signal, and the control module determines whether the helmet is in motion based on the detected acceleration signal. The helmet-wearing detection component detects whether the rider is wearing the helmet. When the vehicle is in motion and the helmet is not worn, the control module sends a helmet-wearing alarm message to a pre-set mobile terminal device via the communication module, informing relevant personnel of the situation and thus monitoring the rider to ensure their safety. This achieves the helmet-wearing detection alarm function. Attached Figure Description

[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.

[0026] The directional terms such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "top," and "bottom" (if present) used in the specification and claims of this invention are defined by the position of the structures in the drawings and the relative positions of the structures, and are only for the clarity and convenience of expressing the technical solution. It should be understood that the use of directional terms should not limit the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a cycling helmet for use by cyclists when riding bicycles (including pedal bicycles and electric bicycles), motorcycles, and other vehicles. The cycling helmet includes a helmet 1 and a positioning device 2 mounted on the helmet 1. The positioning device 2 includes a communication module 21, a positioning module 22, an accelerometer 23, and a control module 24. The communication module 21, positioning module 22, and accelerometer 23 are all electrically connected to the control module 24. The communication module 21 is used for wireless communication, the positioning module 22 is used to receive positioning information, and the control module 24 is used to wirelessly transmit 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). The user's mobile terminal device (e.g., mobile phone, computer, etc.; the user's mobile terminal device can be the cyclist's mobile terminal device or someone else's mobile terminal device, such as the mobile terminal device of the cyclist's guardian) can interact with the cloud platform to obtain positioning information (the specific functions and working principles of the communication module 21 and the positioning module 22 can be found in the prior art and will not be elaborated here).

[0028] Accelerometer 23 is used to detect the acceleration signal of helmet 1 and convert the detected acceleration signal into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to control module 24. The acceleration signal of helmet 1 can represent the acceleration signal of the vehicle. Helmet 1 is equipped with indicator light 3, which is located on the top of helmet 1 and is electrically connected to control module 24. Control module 24 is used to control indicator light 3 to perform corresponding indication actions based on the acceleration signal detected by accelerometer 23.

[0029] Specifically, the accelerometer 23 (also known as a G-sensor) is a sensor that estimates the velocity and displacement of an object by measuring its acceleration. It can detect the acceleration of an object in the X, Y, and Z axes. The accelerometer 23 can detect changes in the object's acceleration force (acceleration force is the force acting on an object during acceleration, such as swaying, falling, rising, falling, etc., all of which can be converted into electrical signals by the G-sensor), measure the object's acceleration and tilt angle, and thus determine the object's motion state and attitude. Based on the acceleration signal detected by the accelerometer 23 and its preset attitude algorithm, the control module 24 determines the motion state and attitude of the helmet 1, and accordingly determines the motion state and attitude of the vehicle (e.g., whether the vehicle is stationary, moving, tilting left, tilting right, accelerating, decelerating, etc.). In this embodiment, the accelerometer 23 can be a three-axis accelerometer, a six-axis accelerometer, etc.

[0030] The cycling helmet provided in this embodiment of the invention features a positioning device 2 and an indicator light 3 on the helmet 1. The positioning device 2 includes a communication module 21, a positioning module 22, an accelerometer 23, and a control module 24. The communication module 21 and the positioning module 22 enable the positioning function of the cycling helmet, facilitating the tracking of the rider's location and ensuring rider safety. Simultaneously, the accelerometer 23 detects the acceleration signal of the helmet 1, and the control module 24 determines the motion state and posture of the helmet 1 based on the acceleration signal detected by the accelerometer 23. Based on this, it determines the motion state and posture of the vehicle, automatically controlling the indicator light 3 to perform corresponding indication actions when the vehicle is moving, turning, braking, etc., to provide a warning to surrounding riders, thus realizing the cycling helmet's driving reminder function and improving driving safety.

[0031] In one implementation, indicator light 3 includes turn signals and brake lights (not shown), both of which are electrically connected to control module 24; When the control module 24 determines that the riding helmet is in a turning state (left turn or right turn) based on the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, the control module 24 controls the turn signal to perform the corresponding indication action; When the control module 24 determines that the riding helmet is in a deceleration state based on the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, the control module 24 controls the brake light to perform the corresponding indication action.

[0032] In one implementation, indicator light 3 also includes a driving light (not shown), which is electrically connected to control module 24; When the control module 24 determines that the riding helmet is in motion based on the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, the control module 24 controls the daytime running lights to perform corresponding indicator actions.

[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] In one implementation, the control module 24 is also used to send fall / collision alarm information (e.g., send SMS or phone notification) to a preset mobile terminal device (such as the mobile phone or computer of the cyclist's guardian or emergency contact) via the communication module 21 when the acceleration signal value detected by the accelerometer 23 exceeds a preset value, and simultaneously upload the fall / collision alarm information to the cloud platform. Specifically, during cycling, when the accelerometer 23 detects that the acceleration in the XYZ directions all exceed the threshold, the control module 24 determines that the vehicle has tipped over or collided. At this time, the control module 24 sends fall / collision alarm information to the preset mobile terminal device via the communication module 21 to notify relevant personnel of the situation, further ensuring the personal safety of the cyclist and realizing the fall / collision alarm function of the cycling helmet.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the positioning device 2 also includes a Bluetooth module 26 and a speaker 27. Both the Bluetooth module 26 and the speaker 27 are electrically connected to the control module 24. The Bluetooth module 26 is used for Bluetooth communication with the cyclist's mobile terminal device; the speaker 27 is used to play audio sent from the cyclist's mobile terminal device to the positioning device 2, thereby realizing the interactive function and audio playback function between the positioning device 2 and the cyclist's mobile terminal device. In practical use, after the Bluetooth module 26 establishes a Bluetooth communication connection with the cyclist's mobile terminal device, the cyclist's mobile terminal device can play music, navigation prompts, and other audio through the speaker 27 of the positioning device 2.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, 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 used for voice navigation based on the cyclist's voice commands. The voice navigation module 28 includes a voice recognition module for recognizing the cyclist's voice commands, a route planning module for route planning, the aforementioned positioning module 22, and a speaker 27. The voice recognition module receives the cyclist's voice commands, the route planning module plans a route based on the cyclist's voice commands and the current location information received by the positioning module 22, and the speaker 27 plays the real-time route, thereby realizing the voice navigation function. For the specific structure and function of the voice navigation module 28, please refer to the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in one embodiment, a wearing detection component 5 is provided on the inner wall of the helmet 1. The wearing detection component 5 is used to detect whether the helmet 1 is being worn by the cyclist. The wearing detection component 5 is electrically connected to the control module 24. When the control module 24 determines that the cycling helmet is in motion based on the acceleration signal detected by the accelerometer 23, and the wearing detection component 5 detects that the helmet 1 is not being worn by the cyclist, the control module 24 sends a helmet-not-worn alarm message to a preset mobile terminal device through the communication module 21. However, 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 will not trigger an alarm action regardless of whether the wearing detection component 5 detects that the helmet 1 is being worn by the cyclist.

[0042] Specifically, by setting up an acceleration sensor 23 and a helmet wearing detection component 5, the acceleration sensor 23 detects the acceleration signal of the helmet 1. The control module 24 determines whether the helmet 1 is in motion based on the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23. At the same time, the helmet wearing detection component 5 detects whether the helmet 1 is being worn by the cyclist. When the vehicle is in motion and the helmet 1 is not being worn, the control module 24 sends a helmet-wearing alarm message to a preset mobile terminal device through the communication module 21, so that relevant personnel (including but not limited to the cyclist, the cyclist's guardian, the cyclist's emergency contact, traffic police, etc.) are aware of the situation, thereby supervising the cyclist (especially when the cyclist is a minor), ensuring the cyclist's personal safety, and realizing the helmet wearing detection alarm function.

[0043] In one implementation, when the control module 24 determines that the cycling helmet is in motion based on the acceleration signal detected by the acceleration sensor 23, and the wearing detection component 5 detects that the helmet 1 is not being worn by the cyclist, the control module 24 also controls the speaker 27 to issue an audible alarm to remind and supervise the cyclist.

[0044] Specifically, in practical application, when a cyclist is riding a vehicle and is not wearing the helmet but placing it on the vehicle, the accelerometer 23 can detect that the helmet 1 is in motion during the ride. At this time, after the helmet detection component 5 detects that the helmet 1 is not being worn by the cyclist, the control module 24 sends a helmet-not-worn alarm message to a preset mobile terminal device through the communication module 21 to alert the relevant personnel. At the same time, the speaker 27 emits an audible alarm (such as a buzzer or other prompt) to remind the cyclist and urge the cyclist to wear the helmet 1.

[0045] like 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 disposed on the inner wall of the front side of the helmet 1, and the light-emitting device 53 is disposed on the inner wall of the rear side of the helmet 1. 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 helmet 1 is not worn by the cyclist, the light emitted by the light-emitting device 53 is not blocked by the cyclist's head, and 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 cyclist's head, and the light sensor 52 cannot detect the light emitted by the light-emitting device 53. In this embodiment, the light-emitting device 53 is used to provide the light source instead of directly using ambient light as the light source because there may be no ambient light at night, and the light sensor 52 will not be able to detect the light, 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 be in other structural forms.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the positioning device 2 also includes a housing (not labeled), a circuit board 20, and a battery 25. The circuit board 20 and the battery 25 are both disposed inside the housing. The communication module 21, the positioning module 22, the accelerometer 23, the control module 24, the Bluetooth module 26, the speaker 27, the voice navigation module 28, and the clock module 29 are all disposed on the circuit board 20 and are all electrically connected to the circuit board 20. The battery 25 is electrically connected to the circuit board 20, thereby supplying power to each component.

[0051] like 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 this embodiment, the receiving section 121 is a straight structure inclined from top to bottom (the receiving section 121 can also be a vertically arranged straight structure). The receiving section 121 is not an arc-shaped structure, which facilitates the accommodation of the positioning device 2. The outer wall of the receiving section 121 is a planar structure (the outer wall of the receiving section 121 can be completely planar or approximately planar). A solar panel 4 is provided on the outer wall of the receiving section 121. The solar panel 4 is electrically connected to the battery 25 in the positioning device 2, thereby charging the battery 25 (specifically, the solar panel 4 is electrically connected to the circuit board 20, so as to be electrically connected to the battery 25 through the circuit board 20). On the one hand, since the outer wall of the receiving section 121 is a planar structure and the solar panel 4 is a flat structure, it is convenient to set up the solar panel 4 and to facilitate the solar panel 4 to receive sunlight. On the other hand, since the solar panel 4 is set on the outer wall of the receiving section 121 and the positioning device 2 is set on the inner wall of the receiving section 121, the solar panel 4 and the positioning device 2 are close to each other, which facilitates the electrical connection between the two. In this embodiment, a receiving groove (not labeled) is provided on the outer wall of the receiving section 121, and the solar panel 4 is fixedly installed in the receiving groove.

[0054] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, at least the arc-shaped segment 122 is a transparent light guide structure, and the receiving segment 121 can be either a transparent light guide structure or an opaque structure. Since the arc-shaped segment 122 is a transparent light guide structure, and the indicator light 3 is positioned on the arc-shaped segment 122, the light emitted by the indicator light 3 can be transmitted to the arc-shaped segment 122. In other words, the arc-shaped segment 122 can amplify the light emitted by the indicator light 3, making it more conspicuous. Thus, the power and size of the indicator light 3 do not need to be large to achieve a good indication effect, saving power consumption and improving aesthetics. In this embodiment, the receiving section 121 and the arc-shaped section 122 are an integral structure, and the entire mounting component 12 is made of transparent plastic. However, the surface of the receiving section 121 is coated with light-shielding ink, making it an opaque structure. The surface of the arc-shaped section 122, on the other hand, is not coated with light-shielding ink, making it a transparent light-guiding structure. (In other embodiments, the receiving section 121 and the arc-shaped section 122 can also be separate structures, with the receiving section 121 made of opaque material and the arc-shaped section 122 made of transparent light-guiding material.) Because the receiving section 121 is opaque, it can effectively shield the positioning device 2, improving its concealment. Of course, in other embodiments, the receiving section 121 can also be a transparent light-guiding structure. Since the outer wall of the receiving section 121 is equipped with a solar panel 4, which is opaque, it can also shield the positioning device 2.

[0055] like 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.
