Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of helmet wearing detection, in particular to a safety helmet. Background Art
[0002] At present, shared bicycles and shared electric vehicles have been popularized in large and small cities, greatly facilitating people's travel. Due to traffic regulations and to ensure driving safety, shared vehicles are equipped with corresponding helmets, and corresponding wearing detection components are arranged inside the helmets. Then, through the linkage between the wearing detection components and the vehicle control components, users are required to wear helmets. When a user does not wear a helmet as required, audible and visual reminders will be frequently issued, and even the vehicle will be directly powered off and unable to be used.
[0003] In the related prior art, the helmets of shared vehicles usually use infrared transceiver devices as wearing detection components. The principle is that when a user wears a helmet, the infrared emitter and the infrared receiver will be blocked and covered, resulting in the infrared receiver being unable to receive the signal emitted by the infrared emitter. Then, whether the infrared receiver receives the signal is used as the criterion for determining whether the user wears a helmet. However, the wearing detection components of the infrared detection type use whether the light source is covered as the judgment criterion, and it is extremely easy for users to "cheat" by various means such as stuffing clothes into the helmet or hanging the helmet on the elbow, resulting in the wearing detection losing its due meaning and increasing the risk during driving. In addition, some users do not fasten the buckle or fasten it too loosely when using the helmet. Once in danger, the helmet is extremely easy to fall off and cannot play a protective role.
[0004] In summary, the existing safety helmets cannot accurately achieve wearing detection, there is a possibility of being "cheated" by various means to avoid wearing a helmet, and they cannot detect whether the user accurately fastens the strap of the helmet, and cannot effectively judge whether the user wears the helmet correctly.

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown in the figure, the present utility model discloses a safety helmet, which includes a helmet body 1, a strap 2, a signal processing chip 3, a first fiber electrode 4, a second fiber electrode 5, and a buckle 6;
[0050] The helmet body 1 has a cavity 11 for a user's head to wear;
[0051] The strap 2 is installed in the cavity 11 and fits the user's head when the user wears the helmet body 1;

[0055] Through the above solution, in the present utility model, by weaving the first fiber electrode 4 and the second fiber electrode 5 into an integrated part with the strap 2, the strap 2 is internally provided with an electrical connection line and does not lose its own flexibility. When the user wears the helmet in the correct way (put on the safety helmet on the head, and after fastening the strap, adjust the strap to an appropriate length, and there should be no looseness), the strap 2 can fit on the user's side face and chin. In particular, the first sensing point 41 of the first fiber electrode 4 and the second sensing point 51 of the second fiber electrode 5 can simultaneously contact the user's skin; since the first fiber electrode 4 and the second fiber electrode 5 are both connected to the signal processing chip 3, at this time, a circuit is formed between the first sensing point 41, the second sensing point 51 and the signal processing chip 3 through the human body, so that the signal processing chip 3 detects the signal of "correctly worn", and the signal processing chip 3, like the wearing detection component in the prior art, is linked and controlled with the braking system of the vehicle, thus achieving the purpose of strictly requiring the user to wear the helmet in the correct way to use the vehicle, and ensuring the safety of the user during driving.
[0056] The following shows specific embodiments of the present utility model.
[0057] The present utility model further includes a goggle 7, and both ends of the goggle 7 are pivotally fitted on both sides of the helmet body 1; a groove 12 covered by the end of the goggle 7 is recessed on one side of the helmet body 1; the signal processing chip 3 is embedded in the groove 12 and fixed by a cover plate 8, and the cover plate 8 is locked in the groove 12 by screws; the first fiber electrode 4 and the second fiber electrode 5 pass through the helmet body 1 and are connected to the signal processing chip 3. Thus, the installation position of the signal processing chip 3 is covered by the end of the goggle 7, and the signal processing chip 3 can be quickly disassembled and assembled after removing the goggle 7, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement.
[0058] Furthermore, the first fiber electrode 4 and the second fiber electrode 5 are electrically connected to the signal processing chip 3 by means of terminal insertion, which is convenient for disassembling and replacing the signal processing chip 3.
[0059] At the same time, both sides of the helmet body 1 are provided with a rotating shaft 13 for pivotally engaging the ends of the goggles 7, and a fixing cap 9 is sleeved on the end of the rotating shaft 13 to prevent the goggles 7 from falling off. The goggles 7 can be removed after removing the fixing cap 9; the above-mentioned groove 12 is arranged at a peripheral position of the rotating shaft 13, and in this embodiment is located below the rotating shaft 13.
[0060] See also Figure 3 , Figure 5 The utility model further includes a third fiber electrode 10 and an SMA actuator 20; the third fiber electrode 10 is also woven integrally with the strap 2 and connected to the signal processing chip 3; the third fiber electrode 10 is provided with a third sensing point 101 exposed on the inner surface of the strap 2, and the third sensing point 101 is staggered with the first sensing point 41 and the second sensing point 51, such as being provided at a position closer to the ear; the SMA actuator 20 is installed on the side wall of the cavity 11 at a position opposite to the signal processing chip 3, and is electrically connected to the signal processing chip 3 through wires, the installation position of the SMA actuator 20 can avoid winding and facilitate electrical connection, and the output end of the SMA actuator 20 abuts against the outer side of the strap 2 and is provided opposite to the third sensing point 101; the signal processing chip 3 controls the SMA actuator 20 to intermittently push the strap 2 so that the third sensing point 101 contacts the skin of the user's head. By pushing the third sensing point 101 with the SMA actuator 20 to intermittently contact the skin, "spot checks" other than detecting the correctness of wearing the strap 2 can be implemented to ensure that the user is wearing the helmet correctly. This is a secondary detection solution that can increase the difficulty for the user to circumvent detection by special means, thereby further improving the safety performance of the safety helmet.
[0061] Further, see Figures 6 to 8 The SMA actuator 20 comprises a fixing seat 201, an SMA wire 202 and an elastic driving member 203; the two ends of the driving member 203 are respectively a fixing end 2031 and a connecting end 2032, the fixing end 2031 of the driving member 203 is fixed on the fixing seat 201, and the connecting end 2032 of the driving member 203 is the output end of the SMA actuator 20; the two ends of the SMA wire 202 are respectively a limiting end 2021 and a free end 2022, the limiting end 2021 of the SMA wire 202 is fixed on the fixing seat 201, and the free end 2022 of the SMA wire 202 is connected to the connecting end 2032 of the driving member 203; see Figure 8 When the SMA wire 202 is energized, it contracts and pulls the driving member 203 to bend and deform, so that the connecting end 2032 of the driving member 203 abuts against the outer side of the strap 2 and pushes the third sensing point 101 to move relative to the user's head.
[0062] Secondly, the fixing seat 201 is provided with a power terminal 204; the power terminal 204 is electrically connected to the signal processing chip 3 through an electric wire, the limiting end 2021 of the SMA wire 202 is connected to the power terminal 204 for electrical conduction, and the signal processing chip 3 can supply power to the SMA wire 202 through the power terminal 204 to make it contract. In this embodiment, the power terminal 204 is combined with the fixing seat 201 through a plastic coating process, and the power terminal 204 and the limiting end 2021 of the SMA wire 202 can be connected through a welding process.
[0063] Furthermore, the connection end 2032 of the driving member 203 is bent and connected to the middle part of the driving member 203 to form a bend 2033, so that when the SMA wire 202 contracts, the driving member 203 can be easily pulled to bend and deform. The fixed end 2031 of the driving member 203 is combined with the fixed seat 201 through a plastic coating process.
[0064] The utility model also includes a vital sign sensor 30. The first sensing point 41 and the second sensing point 51 are both equipped with the vital sign sensor 30. The vital sign sensor 30 is electrically connected to the signal processing chip 3 through the first fiber electrode 4 or the second fiber electrode 5. The detected vital sign signals (such as pulse, temperature, etc.) can be transmitted to the signal processing chip to realize liveness detection. It can more accurately determine whether the user wears the helmet in the correct way, and can monitor the user's vital signs in real time. When there is an abnormality, timely reminders are given and corresponding processing is performed (such as disconnecting the power supply of the vehicle when an abnormal user state is detected).
[0065] The first fiber electrode 4, the second fiber electrode 5, the third fiber electrode 10, etc. in the utility model are all made of highly elastic and low-resistance electrode fibers. While the electrode fibers have the characteristics of being close to the skin without feeling, being arbitrarily bendable, and being washable, their excellent conductivity can realize circuit connection, and can assist corresponding detection to complete the perception and conduction of electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram, pressure, tension and other signals, and can be adapted to the strap 2.
[0066] The above embodiments and drawings do not limit the product form and style of the present utility model. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field should be deemed to be within the patent scope of the present utility model.
