Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of helmets, and more specifically, relates to a multifunctional intelligent cycling helmet. Background Technology

[0002] A cycling helmet is the most solid protective barrier for life during cycling. Falls during cycling can cause serious head injuries. Even when cyclists are riding at low speeds along a gentle bike path, safety should not be ignored. The reason for wearing a cycling helmet is simple and important: to protect the head and reduce injury.

[0003] Chinese patent CN219803411U discloses the following technical solution: a cycling helmet, comprising: a helmet body, on which are formed a left turn signal mounting slot on the left side, a right turn signal mounting slot on the right side, a front headlight mounting slot, a rear brake light mounting slot, a front microphone mounting slot, left and right horn mounting slots, and a rear control mounting slot; a left turn signal assembly, a right turn signal assembly, a headlight assembly, a brake light assembly, a microphone assembly, a horn assembly, and a control assembly, each housed within the helmet body. The beneficial effects of this cycling helmet are: it possesses a left turn signal assembly, a right turn signal assembly, a headlight assembly, a brake light assembly, a microphone assembly, a horn assembly, and a control assembly, offering powerful functionality and a reasonable layout of each functional component.

[0004] The above technical solution has the following drawbacks:

[0005] In terms of its functionality while riding, it only has traditional protective and lighting functions. However, it has few functions for the current needs of cycling photography. Furthermore, the use of voice control for triggering the turn signals is unreasonable. When riding a bicycle at high speeds, people usually wear a windproof mask, which makes it difficult to make a sound and also affects their breathing rhythm. Additionally, wind speed can also affect the recognition of sound. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a multifunctional smart cycling helmet, including a helmet with a pair of air inlets and air outlets on the front and rear sides respectively. A turn signal mechanism for turning indication is installed inside the air outlet, and the turn signal mechanism is controlled by a trigger switch installed inside the helmet.

[0007] The helmet is also provided with a pair of strap slots and an earphone port on both the front and rear sides, and the earphone port is provided with a suitable foam plug.

[0008] The helmet has an arc-shaped top groove along the center line. The front and rear ends of the top groove are respectively hinged to a front fixing strip and a rear fixing strip by pins. The two are contacted and attracted to each other by embedded magnets.

[0009] Furthermore, the turn signal mechanism includes three limiting blocks fixed to the middle of the inner wall of the air outlet and a light strip, the light strip being embedded in the slots opened in the limiting blocks;

[0010] The limit block in the middle is equipped with a microcontroller for electrical connection with the light strip trigger switch. The two limit blocks on both sides of the limit block in the middle are equipped with built-in batteries, and the positive and negative terminals are in contact with the positive and negative terminals of the light strip, respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, the trigger switch includes an arc-shaped tube embedded in the top of the inner side of the helmet, with the center line of the arc-shaped tube coinciding with the center line of the helmet. Inside the arc-shaped tube is a ball for sliding, and a contact switch for being triggered by contact with the ball is installed at the left and right ends of the arc-shaped tube, respectively. The two contact switches are electrically connected to the two turn signal mechanisms.

[0012] Furthermore, a reflective strip is attached to the concave wall of the air outlet opening.

[0013] Furthermore, the rear fixing strip is made of carbon steel.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner side of the sponge plug is provided with an inner groove for placing the earphone.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. Compared to traditional cycling helmets, this helmet is multifunctional. For example, the front and rear fixing strips can be used to magnetically attach smart devices such as GoPro, anemometer, and speakers. When not in use, both can be stored on the top of the helmet without creating additional wind resistance. The foam plugs can be used to secure the headphones. When not wearing headphones, the foam plugs can be removed to allow ventilation and cooling for the ears.

[0017] 2. The head can be swayed to control the turn signal lights on both sides, which is easier to operate while riding compared to touch or voice control. Attached Figure Description

Embodiments of the device are shown in the drawings. However, this device can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or setting, a detachable connection or setting, or an integral connection or setting. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] Example

[0027] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a multifunctional smart cycling helmet, including a helmet 1. The front and rear ends of the helmet 1 are provided with a pair of air inlets 2 and air outlets 3 respectively. The air outlets 3 are equipped with turn signal mechanisms 4 for turning indication. The turn signal mechanisms 4 are controlled by a trigger switch 12 installed inside the helmet 1. A reflective strip is attached to the concave wall of the air outlet 3 opening, which can reflect the light of the turn signal mechanism 4, thereby increasing the brightness.

[0028] Detailed, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, the turn signal mechanism 4 includes three limiting blocks 45 fixed to the middle of the inner wall of the air outlet 3 and a light strip 41. The light strip 41 is embedded in the slot opened in the limiting blocks 45.

[0029] A microcontroller (model STM32F407VET6) is provided at the middle limit block 45 for electrical connection with the light strip 41 and the trigger switch 12. The two limit blocks 45 on both sides of the middle limit block 45 are equipped with built-in batteries, and the positive and negative terminals of the two batteries are in contact with the positive terminal 43 and the negative terminal 44 of the light strip 41, respectively, to meet the standard conditions for power supply.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the trigger switch 12 includes an M-shaped arc-shaped tube embedded in the top of the inner side of the helmet 1, that is, an arch in the middle and symmetrical slopes on both sides, which can keep the ball in the arch position. When tilted, it can move to the slopes on both sides to trigger the contact switch. After the head returns to the upright position, the ball will return to the arch position for the next movement. The center line of the arc-shaped tube coincides with the center line of the helmet 1. There is a ball inside the arc-shaped tube for sliding. There is a contact switch on the left and right ends of the arc-shaped tube for being triggered by the ball. The two contact switches are electrically connected to the two turn signal mechanisms 4 respectively. In practical applications, some riders will move their necks from side to side while riding. As needed, the microcontroller can be set to receive the electrical signals of the same contact switch twice and then control the switch 42 of the light strip 41 (the microcontroller can be used as a switch to control the light strip 41 as in traditional use. If the installed microcontroller does not have this function, a relay can be added to achieve this. The model can be HK19F-DC5V-SHG, which is a common control circuit and will not be described in detail here).

[0031] The helmet 1 has a pair of strap slots 5 and an earphone port 6 on the front and rear sides respectively. The strap slots 5 are used to fix the head straps later. The earphone port 6 is provided with a matching foam plug 11. The inner side of the foam plug 11 has an inner groove for placing the earphone.

[0032] The helmet 1 has an arc-shaped top groove 7 on the center line at the top. The front and rear ends of the top groove 7 are respectively hinged to the front fixing strip 8 and the rear fixing strip 10 by pins. The two are contacted and attracted by embedded magnets 9. At the same time, it can also realize the magnetic fixation of smart accessories (such as GoPro). It should be noted that the rear fixing strip 10 is made of carbon steel, which is easy to bend and adjust the position and angle.

[0033] It should be noted that the structure described in this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described. Any equivalent transformations made by those skilled in the art based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, such as the loading and unloading of other items, are included within the protection scope of this utility model.
