Description

Technical Field

[0002] A helmet is a protective device for the head, an indispensable tool for military training, combat, and public transportation. Helmets are typically semi-circular and mainly consist of three parts: the outer shell, the liner, and the suspension system. The outer shell is made of materials such as special steel, fiberglass, reinforced plastic, leather, and nylon to protect the head from bullets, shrapnel, and other impacts. The helmet is the last line of defense for the rider's life. In the event of an accident, the helmet absorbs most of the impact force, providing cushioning and shock absorption.

[0003] In recent years, with the popularization of cycling, cycling safety has gradually attracted attention. During cycling, potentially dangerous behaviors by cyclists can lead to serious safety hazards. However, due to a lack of warnings or reminders to cyclists, they are often unaware of these potential safety risks. Traditional cycling helmets primarily protect the head by absorbing impact force during an accident and reducing head injuries afterward, offering only a single function.

Figure 2This is a flowchart of the smart helmet's workflow. During riding, once the detection phone in the detection box detects dangerous riding behaviors such as collisions, sudden braking, falls, speeding, or bumps, it will promptly warn the rider, prompting them to take measures such as slowing down. This alerts the rider to stop the dangerous behavior before an accident occurs, thus preventing a traffic accident.

[0041] In specific implementation, the detection circuit also includes a microcontroller U1, a power supply circuit, an audible alarm circuit, a vibration alarm circuit, and an luminous alarm circuit;

[0042] The power supply circuit is used to provide power to the microcontroller U1, the triaxial sensor circuit, the sound alarm circuit, the vibration alarm circuit, and the light alarm circuit;

[0043] The microcontroller U1 is connected to the power supply of the triaxial sensor circuit, the sound alarm circuit, the vibration alarm circuit, and the light alarm circuit. It receives the detection value from the triaxial sensor circuit and generates an alarm signal based on the detection value, which is then output to the sound alarm circuit, the vibration alarm circuit, and the light alarm circuit.

[0044] The triaxial sensor circuit is used to send the detected values ​​of acceleration and angle changes in the X, Y, and Z directions to the microcontroller U1;

[0045] The sound alarm circuit, vibration alarm circuit, and light alarm circuit are used to generate sound alarm signals, vibration alarm signals, and light alarm signals, respectively.

[0046] In specific implementation, the power supply circuit includes a voltage regulator chip U2, a charging chip U4, an interface chip U5, a rechargeable battery BAT1, resistors R8 to R9, resistors R15 to R16, resistors R22 to R23, capacitors C1 to C3, and capacitor C7.

[0047] Figure 3 This is a circuit diagram of the power supply circuit of this utility model, and the connection relationship of each component is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0051] The JZ51F9003 is a high-performance 8-bit microcontroller manufactured by Wuxi Jingzhe Technology Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Jingzhe Technology Co., Ltd. Product specifications for the JZ51F9003 can be found at: http: / / www.wxjzkj.com / download / 37 / .

In specific calculation, the microcontroller U1 makes judgments on collision, sudden braking, crash, speeding and bump based on the detected values. For example, the following rules can be used to judge different situations: (1) Collision detection judgment: instantaneous acceleration exceeds a certain threshold (such as >3g, that is, the acceleration exceeds 3 times the gravitational acceleration g); (2) Fall judgment: continuous low dynamic after sudden acceleration; (3) Sudden braking / sharp turning judgment: X / Y axis acceleration increases sharply and the direction is continuously deviated; (4) Bump judgment: high frequency vibration amplitude exceeds the safe range.

The main control chip U1 reads the acceleration values ​​of the three axes (X, Y, and Z) of the triaxial sensor U3 through the IIC protocol, and uses the acceleration values ​​to determine whether the rider is in a stable riding state or in a dangerous state such as collision, sudden braking, crash, speeding, or bumps.

[0054] In specific implementation, the model of the triaxial accelerometer chip U3 is SC7A20.

[0055] The SC7A20 is a high-precision 12-bit digital triaxial accelerometer chip with richer built-in functions, lower power consumption, smaller size, and more accurate measurements. The chip communicates with the MCU via the IC2 / SPI interface, acquiring acceleration measurement data through interrupt or polling methods. The INT1 and INT2 interrupt pins provide various internally automatically detected interrupt signals to adapt to various motion detection applications, including 6D / 4D direction detection interrupt signals, free fall detection interrupt signals, sleep and wake-up detection interrupt signals, and single-click and double-click detection interrupt signals. The chip incorporates a high-precision calibration module to accurately compensate for sensor offset and gain errors. It offers four adjustable full-range measurement ranges: ±2G, ±4G, ±8G, and ±16G, allowing flexible measurement of external acceleration, with selectable output data rates between 1Hz and 400Hz. The chip's built-in self-test function allows customers to test system functionality during system testing, eliminating the need for complex turntable testing. The chip also includes a product tilt calibration function to compensate for tilt caused by surface mount and board mounting, without consuming system resources; system file upgrades do not affect sensor parameters. The three-axis sensor module collects acceleration and angle changes along the X, Y, and Z axes, detects the helmet's linear acceleration and attitude changes, and then infers the rider's motion state. By default, the center of the helmet's front is used as the coordinate origin, the horizontal direction facing forward is the positive X-axis, the horizontal direction to the right of the helmet is the positive Y-axis, and the vertical upward direction is the positive Z-axis.

Transistor Q2 and resistor R6 are connected to microcontroller U1, receiving the vibration alarm signal from microcontroller U1 and causing motor J2 to vibrate and trigger an alarm.

[0060] In specific implementation, the light-emitting warning circuit includes a light-emitting diode LED1, a transistor Q3, a resistor R7, and a resistor R10.

[0061] Figure 8 This is a circuit diagram of the luminous warning circuit of this utility model, and the connection relationship of each component is as follows: Figure 8 As shown. LED1 is connected to the power supply circuit via resistor R10. LED1 is also connected to microcontroller U1 via transistor Q3 and resistor R7, receiving the light-emitting alarm signal from microcontroller U1 and causing LED1 to light up.

[0062] In this invention, the MCU collects data from the triaxial sensor and processes it, using an algorithm to determine if there is any dangerous riding behavior. Simultaneously, a vibration motor provides tactile feedback, an LED warning light provides visual cues, and a buzzer provides audible alarms, offering multiple warning and alert methods to address different levels of risk. Specifically, the following tiered warning system can be used: low risk (single vibration alert) → medium risk (single LED flashing) → high risk (a combination of sound, light, and vibration alerts).

[0063] This invention relates to a smart helmet for detecting dangerous behaviors while cycling, based on a three-axis sensor. In addition to basic protective functions, it can also monitor the cyclist's behavior in real time using the three-axis sensor. It can detect dangerous behaviors during cycling and alert the cyclist to potential dangers, thereby ensuring cycling safety.
