Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electric vehicle supporting equipment, and in particular relates to an intelligent storage box for helmets and items and a shared electric vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the sharing economy, shared electric vehicles have gradually become popular among the general public as a convenient and environmentally friendly way of travel. However, while enjoying the convenience brought by shared electric vehicles, riding safety, especially the issue of wearing helmets, has become an increasingly prominent issue that needs to be addressed urgently.

[0003] At present, some shared electric vehicles on the market are equipped with helmets, which has improved the riding safety of users to a certain extent. However, the storage and anti-theft of helmets have always been a problem that has troubled shared electric vehicle operators. In the early days, in order to prevent the loss of helmets, a simple method of connecting one end of the cable to the vehicle body and the other end to the helmet was generally used. However, this method not only affects the appearance, but also easily causes inconvenience during riding, and even poses a safety hazard.

[0004] With the advancement of technology, the cable locking method has gradually been eliminated and replaced by a more intelligent electric-controlled latch lock system. For example, an existing patent application (publication number CN217260429U) has proposed a basket assembly for electric vehicles and a shared electric vehicle. The electric lock configured in the basket cooperates with the lock pin set on the helmet to achieve a close connection between the helmet and the basket. This solution not only effectively prevents the loss of the helmet, but also realizes the synchronous locking of the shared electric vehicle and the helmet wearing status through Internet technology. That is, the user must wear a helmet before turning on the bicycle, otherwise the vehicle cannot be ridden. At the same time, the helmet must be returned correctly when returning the vehicle, otherwise the return of the vehicle cannot be completed, which greatly improves the safety of riding.

[0005] Problems with existing technologies:

[0006] Although the electric latch lock system solves the problem of helmet loss and wearing reminder to a certain extent, it requires high modification of the helmet and requires a special locking pin component to be set on the helmet, which increases the manufacturing cost and complexity of the helmet and also limits the versatility of the helmet.

[0007] In view of the above problems, the market has put forward an urgent demand for a more convenient, universal and effective helmet locking solution to improve cycling safety. This solution should be able to effectively restrict the helmet without increasing the manufacturing cost and complexity of the helmet, play a role in preventing theft, and remind users to wear the helmet correctly through intelligent technology, thereby comprehensively ensuring the user's cycling safety.

[0008] In summary, the present utility model aims to provide an innovative helmet locking solution, which realizes the restriction of the helmet by means of blocking. Without major modification to the helmet, the versatility and wearing rate of the helmet can be improved, thereby promoting the safe development of the shared electric vehicle industry.

[0055] This technical solution realizes intelligent operation through electric control, improving the convenience of user use. The electric opening and closing device is connected to and drives the flipping mechanism to flip, realizing the blocking function of the items in the storage box and enhancing the safety of the items. Compared with manual operation, the electric opening and closing device is more labor-saving and fast, improving the use efficiency. When the electric opening and closing device drives the flipping mechanism to flip, in the closed state, it can effectively block the items in the storage box, preventing them from being accidentally taken out or dropped from the box body, enhancing the item protection ability of the storage box, and ensuring the safety and integrity of the items during storage. In summary, through its unique technical feature design, this intelligent storage box for helmets realizes the optimized utilization of storage space, the safety protection of items, and the improvement of user operation convenience.

[0056] Preferably, a fixing plate 1-1 is installed on the rear back plate inside the box body, and the flipping mechanism is installed on the fixing plate. Advantages: The fixing plate can provide a stable installation foundation to ensure that the flipping mechanism can be firmly installed on the box body. Through the fixing plate, the position and angle of the flipping mechanism can be conveniently adjusted to meet different usage requirements. The design of the fixing plate enhances the structural strength of the box body, improving the overall stability and durability.

[0057] A protection plate 1-2 is fixedly installed on the box body on the side of the rear back plate of the box body. Advantages: The protection plate can effectively protect the rear back plate of the box body from external impacts and damages, improving the overall protection performance of the box body. Through fixed installation, a tight connection is formed between the protection plate and the box body, enhancing the structural stability and sealing performance of the box body. The design of the protection plate can also play a role in beautifying the appearance of the box body, enhancing the overall visual effect and usage experience.

[0058] Preferably, a manual switch 1-3 is provided on the box body for manually opening and closing the rotating mechanism; in this embodiment, it is preferably installed at one end of the protection plate, and the manual switch is electrically connected to the controller of the electric opening and closing device, and the controller controls the working state of the electric opening and closing device. The convenient switching between the manual and electric operation modes is realized, meeting the needs of different users and usage scenarios.

[0059] Preferably, an indicator light 1-4 is installed on the box body, and the indicator light is used to display the state of the electric opening and closing device. In this embodiment, it is preferably installed at one end of the protection plate. The indicator light can display the working state of the electric opening and closing device in real time, enabling the user to clearly understand the opening and closing situation of the storage box, improving the convenience and safety of use. When the electric opening and closing device fails or malfunctions, the indicator light can promptly send out a warning signal to remind the user to check and repair, avoiding the inconvenience and losses caused by equipment failures. The design of the indicator light can also enhance the overall aesthetics of the storage box, improving the user's usage experience.

[0060] Preferably, the flipping mechanism 2 includes a mounting bracket 2-1 connected to the box body, and a flipping arm 2-2 hingedly mounted on the mounting bracket. The flipping arm includes a fastening portion 2-20 and a rotating support portion 2-21. The lower surface of the fastening portion 2-20 fits with the helmet to reduce the bumping of the helmet during transportation. The rotating support portion is mounted on a support shaft 2-3, and the support shaft is mounted on the mounting bracket 2-1. The support shaft or the rotating support portion of the flipping arm is connected to an electric opening and closing device 3.

[0061] In Embodiment 1, the electric opening and closing device is connected to the support shaft 2-3 to drive the support shaft to rotate, and the support shaft drives the flipping arm to rotate. Alternatively, the electric opening and closing device is connected to the rotating support portion of the flipping arm 2-2 to drive the flipping arm to rotate around the support shaft 2-3. The above-mentioned electric opening and closing device includes a motor, the motor is connected to a reducer, and the output shaft of the reducer is connected to the support shaft or the rotating support portion of the flipping arm. The electric opening and closing device can be located outside the rotating support portion or inside the rotating support portion.

[0062] These two driving structures each have their own advantages, and the specific selection depends on the application scenario and requirements. Whether directly driving the support shaft or driving through the support portion of the flipping arm, the electric opening and closing device has achieved effective control of the flipping arm and has the following common technical effects:

[0063] High degree of automation: The application of the electric opening and closing device significantly improves the automation level of the equipment, reduces manual intervention, and improves work efficiency.

[0064] Convenient operation: Through electric control, the operator can easily open and close the flipping arm, reducing the operation difficulty.

[0065] Embodiment 2, please refer to Figures 4 to 8 , the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 lies in the different electric opening and closing devices used. The electric opening and closing device 3 in this embodiment includes a housing 3-1, which is the basic structure of the whole device, used to protect the internal components from the external environment and ensure the safety and stability of the device; a motor 3-2 installed in the housing, which serves as the power source. The motor is the core component of the electric opening and closing device and is responsible for providing the driving force; an output gear 3-3 is installed on the output shaft of the motor, the output gear meshes with a reduction gear pair 3-4, and the final gear of the reduction gear pair meshes with a power output gear installed on the support shaft or the reversing arm; the number of stages of the reduction gear pair is five-stage reduction. The design of the reduction gear pair is to reduce the output speed of the motor and increase the output torque at the same time to meet the specific requirements of the opening and closing device for power output.

[0066] In this embodiment, preferably, a power output gear 3-5 is installed on the support shaft and meshes with the last-stage gear of the reduction gear pair. This design enables the power of the motor to be transmitted to the power output gear through the reduction gear pair. The power output gear is connected to an electric opening and closing device. A clutch spring 3-6 is provided between the power output gear and the rotating support part. The role of the clutch spring may be to provide a pre-tightening force to ensure good meshing between the power output gear and the adjacent gears, or to achieve a clutch function in case of overload, thereby protecting the motor. The power output gear is coaxially provided with an end face tooth 3-7, and the end face tooth is connected to a power output end face gear 3-8. The power output end face gear is connected to a power output sleeve 3-80. The outer end of the power output sleeve is connected to the rotating support part 2-21 and drives the rotating support part to rotate around the support shaft. Specifically, a square head 3-9 is provided at the end of the power output sleeve. A square card slot 3-10 that cooperates with the square head is provided on the rotating support part corresponding to the power output sleeve. The cooperation between the square head and the square card slot realizes the transmission of power. When the power output gear rotates, it drives the rotating support part to rotate around the support shaft through the end face tooth, the power output end face gear, and the power output sleeve. The opening angle of its turning arm can be accurately regulated by an electronic detection element or by controlling the rotation angle stroke of the motor. For example, a special angle sensor can be installed to detect the turning angle of the turning arm, so as to accurately control the stop position of the motor.

[0067] Embodiment 3. Please refer to Figures 9 to 16 , in this embodiment, the electric opening and closing device includes a housing 3-1, a motor 3-2 installed in the housing. An output gear 3-3 is installed on the output shaft of the motor. The output gear meshes with a reduction gear pair 3-4. The last-stage gear of the reduction gear pair meshes with a power output gear 3-5. A locking drive gear 3-11 is meshed with the secondary gear of the reduction gear pair in the housing. The purpose of meshing with the secondary gear is to unlock before the power output gear drives the power output sleeve. The locking drive is installed on a locking drive shaft 3-12. The end of the locking drive shaft is connected to a locking mechanism 3-13 through a gear 3-120. The locking mechanism 3-13 reciprocates in a direction perpendicular to the support shaft. When the secondary gear in the reduction gear pair rotates, it drives the locking drive gear to rotate. The rotation of the locking drive gear is transmitted to the locking mechanism through the locking drive shaft. After receiving the rotational power, the locking mechanism will perform a horizontal movement in a direction perpendicular to the support shaft, thereby realizing the locking or unlocking function.

[0068] Preferably, the locking mechanism 3-13 includes a locking block 3-130 installed in a sliding groove of the mounting housing, which enables the locking block to move in a specific direction under the constraint of the sliding groove; at both ends of the cavity of the locking block, guiding grooves 3-131 are provided perpendicular to the direction of the support shaft, and a locking driving block 3-132 is slidably installed in the guiding grooves, ensuring that the locking driving block can maintain a stable direction and path during movement. Below the locking driving block, there is a tooth 3-1320 that cooperates with the locking driving gear, and the rotation of the locking driving gear can be converted into a linear movement of the locking driving block; a spring 3-133 is provided between the locking driving block and the locking block, and the elastic force of the spring can provide a pre-tightening force for the locking driving block to ensure its close cooperation with the locking driving gear, and at the same time, it can also provide a reset force when needed; at the end of the locking block, there is a locking arm 3-134, and a fork 3-135 is provided on the outer side of the locking arm, enabling the locking mechanism to drive the movement of the locking arm and the fork through an external force, thereby controlling the position of the locking block; to detect the position of the locking block, a position detection switch 3-136 is installed on the housing at the tail of the locking block. After the locking block is triggered, the confirmation of the locking in place is realized, and the position detection switch is electrically connected to the electric opening and closing device; a locking component 3-20 is installed on the inner side of the mounting bracket corresponding to the position of the fork through a shaft; the locking component 3-20 is used to lock the flipping arm. When locking, the flipping arm is at the lower flipping end point, and at this time, the flipping arm cannot be manually opened, thus playing an anti-theft function.

[0069] In summary, the locking mechanism realizes the driving and locking functions through mechanical means. The locking mechanism has a stable locking function. Through the ingenious design of the locking block, the locking driving block, the locking driving gear, and the spring, the locking mechanism can achieve a stable locking function. When it is necessary to lock the flipping arm, the locking driving gear rotates to drive the locking driving block to move, and then pushes the locking block and the locking arm to move, so that the locking component cooperates with the locking card slot to achieve locking. It has a flexible unlocking function: when unlocking is required, just reverse the rotation of the locking driving gear to push the fork to move in the reverse direction, and the locking component can be disengaged from the locking slot to achieve unlocking. This design makes the unlocking operation of the locking mechanism equally flexible and convenient. It has a compact and reliable structure: the entire locking mechanism is designed compactly and the cooperation between components is tight, ensuring its reliability and stability in practical applications. At the same time, due to the use of structures such as sliding grooves and guiding grooves to restrict the movement path and direction of components, the locking mechanism is also more stable and accurate during operation.

[0070] Preferably, a spring installation groove 1-137 is provided in the locking driving block, and a spring 1-138 is installed in the spring installation groove, and the outer diameter of the spring is larger than the width of the guiding groove. This technical feature ensures the stable performance and firm installation of the spring in the locking mechanism through ingenious design, thereby improving the stability, reliability, and service life of the locking mechanism.

[0071] In this embodiment, the locking component 3-20 includes a locking body 3-21. A clamping groove 3-23 for cooperating with the fork is provided at the lower part of the locking body. A locking protrusion 3-22 is provided on the locking body 3-21 on the side of the turning arm. A locking clamping groove 2-22 is provided on the rotating support part of the turning arm. When the locking protrusion is matched with the locking clamping groove, the turning arm is at the lower turning end point and the turning arm is locked. Figure 15 and Figure 16 In the locked state, when the turning arm rises, the motor rotates to drive the secondary gear of the reduction gear pair in the housing to engage with the locking drive gear 3-11 to move. The gear 3-120 coaxially installed with the locking drive gear 3-11 drives the locking drive block in the locking block to move upward. When the spring abuts against both sides of the guide groove 3-131 during the movement, the locking block is driven to move upward in a straight line. The fork 3-135 on the locking arm will drive the locking body to rotate counterclockwise, thereby realizing unlocking. The turning arm will rise under the continuous rotation of the motor until it reaches the fully open state; the movement states of the components during the locking process are opposite to those during the unlocking process above.

[0072] Embodiment 4, please refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 The locking component includes a locking body 3-21. Driving plates 3-24 are provided at both ends of the locking body. An oblong limiting sliding groove 3-25 is provided on the driving plate. The fork 3-135 on the outside of the locking arm is inserted into the lower limiting sliding groove; a transverse movement shaft 3-250 is inserted into the upper limiting groove. The transverse movement shaft is fixedly connected to a locking slider 3-26. A sliding groove 3-27 is provided on the inner side of the side wall of the mounting bracket corresponding to the locking slider. The locking slider is slidably installed in the sliding groove; a locking sleeve 3-28 is installed on the support shaft on the side of the locking slider. A turning arm driving surface 3-29 and a locking slider locking surface 3-30 are provided on the locking sleeve; a torsion spring 3-31 is installed in the locking sleeve. The torsion spring is sleeved on the support shaft. One end of the torsion spring is inserted into the clamping groove on the locking sleeve, and the other end is inserted into the rotating support part of the turning arm. After the turning arm is closed, when it is turned, the torsion spring can absorb a part of the external force, making the turning arm rise slightly by an angle. After the force is lost, it automatically restores to ensure that the turning arm is fastened; the turning arm driving surface 3-29 is in contact with the abutting surface of the rotating support part of the turning arm; when the front end of the locking slider cooperates with the locking slider locking surface, the turning arm is at the lower turning end point. Figure 17 and Figure 18It is in the unlocking state. When locking is required, the motor rotates to drive the secondary gear of the reduction gear pair in the housing to mesh with the locking drive gear 3-11 to move. The gear 3-120 coaxially installed with the locking drive gear 3-11 drives the locking drive block in the locking block to move downward. During the movement, when the spring abuts against both sides of the guide groove 3-131, the locking block is driven to move downward in a straight line. The fork 3-135 on the locking arm will drive the locking body 3-22 to rotate clockwise. The transverse shift shaft drives the locking slider 3-26 to move forward until it cooperates with the locking surface 3-30 of the locking slider to achieve locking. The operating states of each component during the unlocking process are opposite to those during the above-mentioned locking process.

[0073] This technical solution presents an efficient and reliable locking mechanism, the core of which lies in the compact structural design and ingenious transmission mechanism. Through the close combination of the drive plate, limit sliding groove, fork, transverse shift shaft and locking slider, precise control of the flip arm is achieved. The oblong limit sliding groove provides a flexible movement range for the fork, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the locking mechanism during operation. At the same time, the application of the torsion spring in the locking sleeve provides a pre-tightening force for the locking mechanism. This not only enables the locking slider to maintain a specific position, but also releases the stored energy during the unlocking process to achieve a rapid and smooth unlocking. The remarkable effects of this technical solution are its compact structure, stable performance and flexible operation mode, which make it have a wide range of application prospects and market demands in various occasions where the flip arm locking function needs to be realized, providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of related equipment.

[0074] Example 5. In this example, please refer to Figure 19 The locking component 3-20 includes a locking body 3-21. A clamping groove 3-23 for cooperating with the fork is provided at the lower part of the locking body. A locking sleeve 3-28 is installed on the support shaft on the side of the locking slider. The locking sleeve is provided with a flip arm driving surface 3-29 and a locking surface 3-30 of the locking slider. A torsion spring 3-31 is installed in the locking sleeve. The torsion spring is sleeved on the support shaft. One end of the torsion spring is inserted into the clamping groove on the locking sleeve, and the other end is inserted into the rotation support part of the flip arm. After the flip arm is closed, when it is turned by pulling, the torsion spring can absorb a part of the external force, making the flip arm slightly lift up by an angle. After the force is lost, it automatically resumes to ensure that the flip arm is fastened. The flip arm driving surface 3-29 fits with the abutting surface of the rotation support part of the flip arm. When the front end of the locking slider cooperates with the locking surface of the locking slider, the flip arm is at the lower flip end point.

[0075] Example 6. Please refer to Figure 20 and Figure 21, on the basis of the above-mentioned Embodiments 1 to 4, it further includes a box cover 4 for fixedly connecting the rotation and flipping mechanism. The box cover realizes the opening and closing of the box body with the flipping of the rotation and flipping mechanism. The box cover is fixedly connected to the flipping arm of the flipping mechanism through fasteners, and after connection, the connection part is blocked by a cover plate or a rainproof cap (not shown in the figure) to realize the intelligent opening and closing of the box body and fully cooperate with the storage box at the same time. The box cover easily realizes the opening and closing of the box body with the flipping of the rotation and flipping mechanism, which is not only convenient to operate, but also greatly improves the protection effect of the helmet. Compared with the traditional open and exposed placement, this design effectively isolates the direct influence of the external environment on the helmet, significantly extends the service life of the helmet, and avoids potential safety hazards caused by aging. At the same time, the airtightness of the box cover can effectively block the intrusion of sundries such as dust, rain and snow, ensuring that the helmet always remains clean and ready to be worn at any time. In addition, the design of the box cover also cleverly solves the problem of malicious littering, providing a safer and more hygienic storage environment for the helmet. To sum up, this innovative design not only improves the protection effect of the helmet, but also brings a more convenient and reassuring user experience to users.

[0076] The present utility model also discloses a shared electric vehicle, including a helmet intelligent storage box for placing a shared helmet. The helmet intelligent storage box can be installed in front of the shared electric vehicle or at the rear; a detection element for detecting the helmet 5 is provided in the helmet intelligent storage box, which is used to detect whether the helmet is returned. The detection element is electrically connected to the controller of the electric opening and closing device, and the controller controls the working state of the electric opening and closing device. The detection element can be a pressure sensor arranged at the bottom or side of the basket. When the helmet is placed on the basket, it will generate a certain pressure on the sensor, thereby triggering the sensor to output a signal. It can also include a Hall sensor, a magnetometer, etc. These sensors can detect the distance or presence state between the magnetic component or specific metal component on the helmet and the sensor. Principle: When the helmet is placed at a specific position in the basket, the sensor can detect the magnetic component or metal component on the helmet, thereby confirming the placement state of the helmet. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology can also be used to conduct non-contact two-way communication through radio waves to automatically identify the target object and obtain relevant data. An RFID tag is embedded in the helmet, and an RFID reader is arranged on the basket to detect the position and state of the helmet in real time.

[0077] This technical feature has achieved remarkable technical effects in the helmet intelligent storage box of the shared electric vehicle.

[0078] First, through the built-in detection element, the storage box can intelligently detect the return status of the helmet. This innovative mechanism greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of helmet management. When the user returns the helmet to the storage box, the detection element immediately senses it and sends a signal to the controller of the electric opening and closing device, thus realizing automatic opening and closing control. This automated operation method not only simplifies the user's return process but also avoids problems caused by improper manual operation, such as failure to close the storage box door.

[0079] Secondly, this technical feature significantly improves the user experience. Users don't need to worry about the helmet return problem. They only need to place the helmet in the storage box, which greatly simplifies the operation process. At the same time, the intelligent prompt and feedback mechanism can inform the user of the helmet return status in real-time, reducing the user's confusion and dissatisfaction.

[0080] Finally, this technical feature also enhances the safety management of shared electric vehicles. By detecting the return situation of the helmet in real-time, it effectively prevents the loss and damage of the helmet, reducing the operation risk. At the same time, this also encourages riders to pay more attention to wearing helmets during the ride, thus improving the overall safety awareness and helping to reduce the incidence of traffic accidents.

[0081] In summary, through innovations in aspects such as intelligent detection and feedback, automatic opening and closing control, improving user experience, and enhancing safety management, this technical feature brings significant technical effects to the intelligent storage box for helmets of shared electric vehicles. It not only improves the operation efficiency but also provides users with a more convenient, safe, and efficient rental experience.

[0082] Including the following operations:

[0083] User unlocking operation: The user scans the QR code of the shared electric vehicle through the mobile phone and initiates an unlocking request.

[0084] Central control system response: After the central control system of the whole vehicle receives the unlocking request and verifies it, it issues an instruction to open the box cover.

[0085] Controller receives the instruction: The controller that controls the working state of the electric opening and closing device receives the instruction from the central control system.

[0086] Electric opening and closing device starts: The controller activates the electric opening and closing device to make it start working.

[0087] The turning arm rises: After the electric opening and closing device starts, it drives the turning arm to gradually rise. When the turning arm rises to about 90 degrees, at this time, the turning arm completely avoids the helmet, making it easy to take out the helmet.

[0088] Helmet removal and detection: The user takes out the helmet from the storage box by hand; the detection element in the storage box detects that the helmet has left and judges that the helmet has been taken away.

[0089] Flip arm reset: The detection element sends instructions to the electric opening and closing device and the central control system; after receiving the instructions, the electric opening and closing device drives the flip arm to reset to the initial position;

[0090] Central control system prompt: The central control system issues a prompt to remind the user to wear a helmet correctly. The user can start riding only after wearing the helmet correctly;

[0091] When returning the helmet after the ride, the process is reversed: The user operates on the mobile APP to return the helmet and issue a lock - car instruction or returns the helmet by operating the manual switch. The electric opening and closing device starts again, driving the flip arm to rise so that the user can place the helmet in the storage box; after the detection element detects that the helmet is correctly returned, the electric opening and closing device drives the flip arm to lower, realizing the locking of the helmet. At the same time, when the central control system receives the lock - car instruction and the vehicle lock is closed, the ride ends.

[0092] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
