DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The technical scheme of the utility model will be further specifically explained below by examples and in combination with the drawings.

[0031] The shell 1 is made of carbon fiber, glass fiber and the like, the breathing hole 6 is arranged below the front end of the helmet, and the helmet is also provided with safety glasses 7, as shown in Figure 8 . The cushioning layer 4 is made of EPS and the like, can be extruded and deformed when the helmet is impacted, absorbs the impact force, reduces the injury of the head, the EPS and the like are formed lightweight materials, and are also convenient for processing. In order to meet the requirement of uniform refrigeration, the cushioning layer 4 is provided with a recess for accommodating the heat pipe 3, and the heat pipe 3 is laid in the recess and is flush with the surface of the cushioning layer 4.

[0032] The heat pipe 3 is a flat tube structure and has a curvature radius matched with the cushioning layer 4, as shown in Figure 5 . The cushioning layer 4 plays the functions of protection and heat preservation, so that the cold energy of the heat pipe 3 is radiated and dissipated to the inside of the helmet. In actual production, the heat pipe 3 can be one-time bent and formed according to the inherent structure of the cushioning layer 4, and a plurality of heat pipes are considered to be laid, the corresponding curvature radius and bending are matched to ensure the installation effect.

[0033] The inner liner gasket 5 considers the comfort of wearing, can be made of velvet and the like, and the hollow part 501 of the inner liner gasket 5 is appropriately arranged, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 7As shown, the size of the cutout 501 is flexible, and the main principle is not to create strong obstruction to the heat dissipation of the heat pipe 3.

[0034] The construction of the buffer layer 4 and the inner liner layer 5 ensures the uniformity of cooling of the heat pipe 3.

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 In this embodiment, the temperature control module 2 is a cuboid with rounded corners and can be installed as a modular assembly inside the helmet shell 1. Of course, the parts of the module box 200 and the shell 1 that mate can also be designed to form a cuboid box structure, that is, the module box 200 part of the structure is integrally formed with the helmet shell 1.

[0036] The temperature control module 2 includes a module box 200. The module box 200 is divided into three independent compartments—a heat-conducting compartment 213, a ventilation compartment 212, and a power supply compartment—by a thermoelectric cooler 205 and internal reinforcing plates. During manufacturing, the thermoelectric cooler 205 is positioned between the heat-conducting compartment 213 and the ventilation compartment 212. The partition between the two compartments should be reinforced with heat-insulating material to prevent heat loss through heat exchange. The number of thermoelectric coolers 205 can be adjusted according to actual needs, such as one or two.

[0037] Specifically, the heat-conducting chamber 213 contains a heat-conducting block 206 that cooperates with the semiconductor cooling chip 205, and one end of the heat pipe 3 is connected to the heat-conducting block 206. The ventilation chamber 212 contains heat dissipation fins 204 that cooperate with the semiconductor cooling chip 205, and an axial flow fan 203 that cooperates with the heat dissipation fins 204. The heat-conducting block 206 is made of materials with good thermal conductivity, such as aluminum alloy or copper. The heat-conducting block 206 is used to transfer the cooling capacity to the heat pipe 3 to the maximum extent, and then deliver it into the helmet. The heat-conducting block 206 has corresponding heat-conducting grooves according to the number of heat pipes 3, and the heat pipes 3 are laid in the heat-conducting grooves, such as... Figure 6 As shown in the example, the heat-conducting block 206 is provided with several heat-conducting grooves that cooperate with the heat pipe 3, and each heat pipe 3 has three surfaces that are tightly fitted with the heat-conducting grooves.

[0038] The semiconductor cooling chip 205, the heat-conducting block 206, and the heat pipe 3 are all coated with effective thermally conductive materials such as thermally conductive silicone to ensure heat transfer performance. The remaining part of the heat-conducting chamber 213 is completely filled with thermal insulation material to avoid energy loss.

[0039] The power supply 202 is arranged in the power supply cabin, which can adopt a form of a rechargeable lithium battery or the like, or the power supply can be wholly concealed, and a charging interface is reserved on the outside, which can facilitate external power supply for continuous power supply when the helmet is used for a long time. A power supply cabin cover plate is arranged on the outside of the power supply cabin to facilitate battery replacement, and when the battery is wholly concealed and the charging interface is reserved, the power supply cabin cover plate can not be arranged. The controller 201 is arranged on the inside of the power supply cabin, and a control cover plate is arranged between the controller 201 and the power supply 202 to play a role of isolation.

[0040] The controller 201 obtains temperature and humidity data by combining the sensors arranged at multiple positions to realize the temperature control function of the refrigeration helmet. The temperature and humidity data obtained by the controller at least include the temperature and humidity in the helmet, which are obtained by the in-helmet sensor 211, the temperature and humidity of the ventilation cabin 212, which are obtained by the heat pipe sensor 210, and the temperature and humidity of the heat conduction cabin 213, which are obtained by the hot end sensor 209.

[0041] The principle of the embodiment is to manufacture a low-temperature condition by a semiconductor refrigeration mode, and to transmit the cold quantity to the helmet by using the heat conduction principle of the heat pipe 3 and the rapid heat transfer property of the phase change medium, so that the helmet is cooled. In work, the cold quantity of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 205 is transmitted to the heat pipe 3 to complete the preparation and delivery of the cold quantity, and the purpose of refrigeration of the helmet is achieved; the outdoor air in the ventilation cabin 212 enters from the bottom air inlet 207 or enters from the periphery of the side heat dissipation air inlet 208, exchanges heat with the heat dissipation fins 204 at one end of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 205, and is blown out of the heat dissipation air inlet 208 by the axial flow fan 203 to complete the heat dissipation of the hot end of the refrigeration sheet.

[0042] The above embodiment takes the summer working condition as an example, but the method and the helmet manufactured by the method should have a corresponding winter working condition operation logic. As long as the positive and negative poles of the power supply of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 205 are switched, the cold end is in a heating working condition, the hot end is in a cooling working condition, and the heating effect in the helmet can be achieved by combining the monitoring of the sensor and the adjustment of the controller 201. Details are not expanded.

[0043] The above embodiment is a description of the utility model, not a limitation of the utility model. The helmet in the embodiment is described by taking the full helmet structure shell 1 as an example, but it can be a half helmet, a 3 / 4 helmet, an off-road helmet, and the like. The described embodiment is only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skill in the art without creative labor under the inspiration of the utility model belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.
