Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of outdoor equipment technology, and more specifically to a bracket for mounting a headlamp on a helmet. Background Technology

[0002] A safety headlamp is a portable lighting device designed for free-hand operation and is widely used in outdoor activities, industrial operations, and emergency rescue. Its structural design must balance functionality, safety, and durability. Common safety headlamps are typically fixed to the head (via a headband or helmet): using a flexible nylon or silicone headband worn with Velcro or buckles, or mounted on a helmet. While headbands are easily adjustable to different head sizes, they can be insecure, unstable, and prone to slipping, especially during vigorous activity. Attaching the headlamp to a helmet with adhesive or screws makes disassembly difficult and can damage the helmet's surface.

[0003] Therefore, how to design a safety headlamp installation method that is stable to install, easy to disassemble and assemble, and has a wide range of applications has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a helmet bracket that balances stability, ease of use, and durability, and facilitates the installation and removal of headlamps.

[0005] The specific plan is as follows:

[0006] A helmet bracket for easy assembly and disassembly of a headlamp is provided. The helmet bracket is used to mount a headlamp on a helmet in the direction of use. The front of the helmet bracket is provided with a snap-fit ​​mechanism that matches the headlamp. The snap-fit ​​mechanism has symmetrically distributed claws and limiting protrusions, and the headlamp is snapped onto the snap-fit ​​mechanism. The lower end of the helmet bracket is provided with a connector, and the front side of the helmet is provided with a slot that matches the connector. The slot is provided with a limiting step, and the connector is inserted into the slot.

[0007] Furthermore, the claw is equipped with an arc-shaped guide rail, which fits into the headlamp's connecting buckle.

[0008] Furthermore, two side plates extend from both sides of the helmet bracket toward the helmet, and the size of the side plates matches the surface of the helmet to achieve a close fit between the helmet bracket and the helmet.

[0009] Furthermore, the helmet is provided with snap-fit ​​grooves that match the two side panels, and the two side panels are snapped into the two snap-fit ​​grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, the side plate and the snap-fit ​​groove form a dovetail snap-fit ​​structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the helmet bracket is a one-piece molded design.

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention enables the quick installation and removal of a headlamp from a helmet using a helmet bracket, while ensuring the stability of the connection between the headlamp and the bracket, and between the bracket and the helmet, as well as ease of operation.

[0018] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and the advantages of the present invention. Components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0019] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] This utility model provides a helmet bracket for easy installation and removal of headlamps. The helmet bracket 2 is an independent module that can be inserted into the helmet 1 to install headlamps, thereby enabling the headlamps to be installed on the helmet 1.

[0021] Based on the direction of use, this utility model has a snap-fit ​​mechanism on the front of the helmet bracket 2 that matches the headlamp. The snap-fit ​​mechanism has symmetrically distributed claws 5 and limiting protrusions 6. The claws 5 and limiting protrusions 6 form a three-dimensional limiting structure, and the headlamp is snapped onto the snap-fit ​​mechanism.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the claw 5 is provided with an arc-shaped guide rail, which fits into the headlamp's connecting buckle, so that the headlamp's connecting buckle can be smoothly installed onto the claw via the arc-shaped guide rail.

[0023] Furthermore, this invention features a connector 3 at the lower end of the helmet bracket 2, and a slot 4 on the front side of the helmet 1 that matches the connector 3. The slot 4 contains a limiting step, and the connector 3 is inserted into the slot 4, thereby mounting the helmet bracket 2 onto the helmet 1. After the connector 3 is inserted into the slot 4, the limiting step prevents over-insertion and achieves initial fixation through friction. In actual production, the connector 3 can be designed as a wedge-shaped connector.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two side plates 7 extend from both sides of the helmet bracket 2 toward the helmet 1. The size of the side plates 7 matches the surface of the helmet 1, so as to achieve a close fit between the helmet bracket 2 and the helmet 1, thereby enhancing the overall stability.

[0025] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the helmet 1 is provided with snap-fit ​​grooves that match the two side plates 7, and the two side plates 7 are snapped into the two snap-fit ​​grooves, thereby reinforcing the helmet bracket 2.

[0026] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the side plate 7 and the snap-fit ​​groove form a dovetail snap-fit ​​structure. During installation, the side plate 7 slides into the dovetail groove, forming a mechanical interlock that resists shear forces to prevent the helmet bracket 2 from falling off.

[0027] As another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the helmet 1 can be made of high-strength composite material.

[0028] As another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the front end of the connector 3 can be designed with a rounded transition to facilitate insertion into the slot 4.

[0029] As another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the helmet bracket 2 is integrally molded using an injection molding process to eliminate assembly gaps and improve overall strength. In actual production, reinforcing ribs are added to key stress areas (such as the base of the claws).

[0030] How to use this utility model:

[0031] When installing the headlamp, apply a little force and use the flexibility of the plastic material of the helmet bracket and the hat itself to insert the helmet bracket connector into the helmet slot. Then, follow the arc-shaped guide rail of the clip to install the headlamp connector on the helmet bracket's locking mechanism to complete the installation.

[0032] To remove the headlamp, reverse the process and pull it upwards with a little force; to remove the bracket, slide it backwards towards the helmet with a little force to separate it.

[0033] This invention utilizes the friction between the helmet bracket and the connecting buckle to ensure a stable fit when inserting or removing both, preventing them from falling off during normal use and facilitating easy disassembly. Furthermore, the helmet bracket and helmet slot are precisely matched in size and curvature, allowing the helmet bracket's connector to fit precisely and snugly into the helmet slot, while the other parts of the helmet bracket also conform to the helmet body, enhancing stability. Simultaneously, the flexibility of the helmet bracket and the helmet's own plastic material means that while the helmet bracket requires a firm insertion into the helmet slot, it can also be easily removed with appropriate force, making it convenient and practical.

[0034] This invention facilitates repeated disassembly and assembly, solving the technical pain points of poor stability and cumbersome operation of traditional headlamp fixing methods. It is suitable for mountaineering, cycling, industrial inspection and other fields.

[0035] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, and all such changes shall be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
