There are two main types: two-wheeled and three-wheeled electric vehicles. Currently, my country has a huge number of electric vehicle users, and they are a major force in current and future transportation. However, with the increasing number of electric vehicles, the likelihood of traffic safety hazards is also increasing. For example, in order to save time and increase efficiency, electric vehicle drivers sometimes choose to simplify safe driving operations, such as not using turn signals or not observing traffic conditions in advance, leading to traffic accidents.

[0003] The main factors contributing to traffic safety hazards related to electric vehicles include: In terms of passive safety, besides the fact that the existing open-type electric vehicle body structure cannot effectively protect the driver during a collision, the limited effective visual range of the electric vehicle's rearview mirrors prevents drivers from having a real-time and comprehensive understanding of the traffic situation behind them, thus hindering timely prediction and avoidance. In terms of active safety, besides the fact that electric vehicle drivers themselves lack safety awareness by not using turn signals, taking chances and ignoring oncoming traffic when turning, and changing lanes / turning without observing traffic conditions in advance, the rearview mirrors and turn signals of electric vehicles are mostly protruding parts that are easily damaged. When damaged rearview mirrors / turn signals are not replaced / repaired in a timely manner, it is impossible for drivers and pedestrians around the electric vehicle to effectively and promptly understand and grasp the driver's driving intentions, thus preventing them from taking effective countermeasures.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the drawings, the same reference numerals are assigned to components that are substantially the same in structure and function, and redundant descriptions of substantially the same components have been omitted to make the description more concise.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the safety steering helmet system includes a semi-enclosed helmet 1 and a steering handle 2. A windproof visor 3 is sway-mounted on the front side of the helmet 1, and an inner eyepiece 4 is located behind the windproof visor 3 on the helmet 1. An eyepiece display is installed on the inner eyepiece 4. The windproof visor 3 can effectively block wind, sand, rain, snow, etc. during driving, protecting the driver's eyes and the inner eyepiece 4, so that the driver's vision is not interfered with during driving. The helmet 1 is equipped with a monitoring device 5 and a warning device 6 at the rear. The monitoring device is connected to an eyepiece display. The helmet 1 is also equipped with a controller and a helmet wireless transmission system. The warning device 6 is connected to the helmet wireless transmission system. The controller controls the eyepiece display, monitoring device 5, warning device 6, and helmet wireless transmission system. The monitoring device 5 can be a camera, and the warning device 6 can be an LED display. The eyepiece display can display road condition information behind the driver through the monitoring device 5 at the rear of the helmet 1, allowing the driver to have real-time awareness of traffic conditions and information behind their vehicle, reducing the chance of the driver's line of sight deviating from the road ahead, and improving the prediction of the driving routes of vehicles behind, effectively improving driving safety.

[0023] like Figure 5-6As shown, the steering grip 2 includes a grip base 7 that can be rolled up and fitted onto the handlebar 12. The grip base 7 is made of a soft, rollable material. Both ends of the grip base 7 are respectively provided with detachable connecting devices 8, which can be Velcro or snap fasteners. Because the grip base 7 is made of a soft material and the connecting devices 8 use Velcro or snap fasteners, the grip base 7 can be rolled into a closed cylindrical shape, allowing for quick installation onto the steering wheel or handlebar 12 of any open-top vehicle. For example, when installed on the handlebar 12, the steering grip 2 can provide corresponding support for three different grip positions of the driver. Figure 7 The three different installation methods shown (a, b, and c) are designed to accommodate different driving habits. A steering button 11 is mounted on the grip base 7, and this button 11 is connected to a grip wireless transmission system that works in conjunction with the helmet's wireless transmission system. The steering grip 2 consists of a left grip and a right grip, corresponding to the driver's left and right hands, respectively. The main function of the steering grip 2 is to help the driver express their steering intentions.

[0024] Both the helmet 1 and the steering handle 2 are equipped with power sources, such as rechargeable power supplies or batteries, to provide power to the eyepiece display, monitoring device 5, warning device 6, helmet wireless transmission system, handle wireless transmission system, and controller. The controller can be a touch screen display and various control buttons located on the helmet 1. The setup of the wireless transmission systems, power supplies, and controller, as well as the interconnections between the components, are common knowledge and will not be described further here. The helmet wireless transmission system and the handle wireless transmission system can employ wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, mobile communication, or 4G.

[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the helmet 1 has an air inlet 9 on its top, and an air intake adjustment device 10 is provided at the air inlet 9. The air intake adjustment device 10 can be manually opened or closed to adjust the internal temperature and breathability of the helmet 1 when worn. The air intake adjustment device 10 can be a baffle that slides on the helmet 1 at the air inlet 9, and the size of the air inlet 9 can be adjusted by sliding the baffle. The helmet 1 is a semi-enclosed helmet, which can adapt to different head shapes to the greatest extent while protecting the wearer's head and neck to the greatest extent. The inner surface of the helmet 1 is provided with an integrated honeycomb structure layer, which can absorb and buffer external impact forces more effectively than traditional cushioning materials when the rider's head is hit, providing better head protection for the rider.

[0026] This utility model is applicable to both driverless and driverless electric vehicles, allowing drivers to monitor traffic conditions and information behind the vehicle, effectively improving driving safety. The following examples illustrate the use of this utility model: driverless electric vehicles using common two-wheeled designs, and driverless electric vehicles using common driverless three-wheeled or four-wheeled designs.

[0027] like Figure 8 As shown, for electric vehicles such as two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicles without a driver's cab, the eyepiece display can show the driver real-time road conditions behind them via the rear monitoring device 5 of the helmet 1; similarly, for the driver to express steering intentions, such as... Figure 8 As shown in Figure d, when the driver intends to turn left, pressing the turn button 11 on the turn handle 2 will display left turn information on the warning device 6 at the rear of the helmet 1, thus informing vehicles and pedestrians behind the driver of the driver's intention to turn left and improving traffic safety. Similarly, as shown in Figure e, when the driver intends to turn right, pressing the turn button 11 on the right turn handle 2 will display right turn information on the warning device 6 at the rear of the helmet 1, thus expressing the right turn operation and allowing people around the two-wheeled electric vehicle to understand the driver's driving intention in a timely manner.

[0028] As for the electric vehicle with a driver's cab, such as... Figure 9 As shown, a camera 15 can be installed at the rear of the vehicle, such as behind the driver's cab or the rear of the passenger compartment. This camera 15, under the control of a controller, is connected to the helmet's wireless transmission system and the eyepiece display. When the rear camera of the helmet 1 is turned off, the image displayed on the eyepiece display will automatically be replaced by a real-time image of the road conditions behind the vehicle captured by the rear camera 15. Similarly, for the driver to express steering intentions, such as... Figure 9 An LED display 13 can be installed at the rear of the vehicle. This LED display 13 is connected to the helmet wireless transmission system and the handle wireless transmission system. The rear monitoring device 5 of the helmet 1 is turned off. The LED display 13 at the rear of the electric vehicle and the front and rear turn signals 14 on the electric vehicle are controlled by the turn button 11 on the steering handle 2 to indicate the direction of the turn, so that people around the vehicle can understand the driver's driving intention in a timely manner. In the figure f, when the driver is about to turn left, pressing the turn button 11 on the steering handle 2 will activate the LED display 13 at the rear of the electric vehicle and the front and rear turn signals 14 on the electric vehicle to display the left turn information. Similarly, in the figure g, when the driver is about to turn right, pressing the turn button 11 on the steering handle 2 will activate the LED display 13 at the rear of the electric vehicle and the front and rear turn signals 14 on the electric vehicle to display the right turn information.

[0029] Electric vehicle drivers who use this invention will find it to have the following superior features:

[0030] 1. Effective improvement of passive safety

[0031] During a collision, the integrated honeycomb structure of the safety steering helmet system, compared to the cushioning padding of other ordinary helmets, can better mitigate the impact and reduce the injury to the wearer's head and back of the neck from external forces; wearing a safety steering helmet system will effectively reduce the injury and death rate of open vehicle drivers in traffic accidents.

[0032] Compared to the rear turn signals of ordinary electric vehicles without a driver's cab, such as motorcycles and electric bicycles, the helmet 1 is positioned higher and more conspicuously, making it easier for drivers of motor vehicles and pedestrians behind to see it. This more effectively alerts vehicles and pedestrians behind to the vehicle's dynamic information, prevents traffic accidents, improves the wearer's driving safety, and enhances the safety of public transportation.

[0033] All of the above designs effectively improve the safety and stability of the vehicle during normal driving, as well as in situations where the driver is unaware or the vehicle is involved in a collision.

[0034] 2. Effective improvement of active safety

[0035] Compared to existing driverless open vehicles and helmets, the safety steering helmet system integrates some of the functions of both into one. By wearing the safety steering helmet, the driver can effectively, quickly, and in real time understand and perceive the road conditions around the vehicle through the eyepiece display and rear camera, and proactively make choices, predictions, or avoidances in advance. At the same time, the driver can also more clearly express their intentions to pedestrians or other drivers around the vehicle, such as steering, starting, and stopping, through the steering handle and warning device 6. In other words, the visibility of the driver's proactive expression of intentions is improved, effectively cultivating proactive safe driving awareness.

[0036] Compared to most existing turn signal buttons, the steering handle is more intuitive and convenient to operate, which is more conducive to cultivating good and standardized driving habits. The safety steering helmet system effectively guarantees and improves the active safety of vehicle driving.

[0037] 3. Effective improvement in comfort

[0038] The helmet 1 and steering handle 2 in the safety steering helmet system are identical in style, wearing, and operation to ordinary items encountered by drivers in their daily driving lives, perfectly conforming to their wearing and operating habits without requiring readjustment. Compared to other helmets and steering systems, the safety steering helmet system is more ergonomically designed, thereby improving driving comfort. Excellent safety and comfort ensure a superior driving experience, effectively reducing driver fatigue and lowering the risk of urban traffic accidents.
