Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of flight wearable device technology, and relates to non-fully enclosed single-person flight vehicles, and more particularly to a helmet for a non-fully enclosed single-person flight vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] For non-fully enclosed single-person flight vehicles, there is no external support structure that completely encloses the pilot. In all current research and testing, pilots use helicopter pilot survival kits, and flight helmets use components that lack standardized specifications, resulting in insufficient head protection. Therefore, it is necessary to design a suitable flight helmet for non-fully enclosed single-person flight vehicles. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this application provides a non-fully enclosed single-person flight vehicle helmet that integrates a non-trigger air cushion and is equipped with a trigger-type neck support airbag to effectively protect the pilot.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technology:

[0005] A non-fully enclosed single-person flight vehicle helmet includes a helmet with goggles at the front, a temporal-occipital bone ring-shaped air cushion on the lower inner wall of the helmet, a parietal-frontal bone cap-shaped air cushion on the upper inner wall, an inflatable neck brace at the bottom, and a gas generator on the back. The inflatable neck brace is connected to the gas generator via a tube.

[0006] Furthermore, the inflatable neck brace is housed within a mesh webbing arranged along the bottom edge of the helmet, with the upper part of the mesh webbing connected to the interlayer between the helmet and the cap-shaped air cushion of the parietal-frontal bone. Preferably, the mesh webbing is made of an elastic material.

[0007] Furthermore, both the temporal-occipital ring-shaped air cushion and the parietal-frontal cap-shaped air cushion are non-trigger air cushions with buckles that connect to the helmet.

[0008] Furthermore, both the temporal-occipital ring-shaped air cushion and the parietal-frontal cap-shaped air cushion employ a multi-layered structure, including a skin-contact layer for fitting against the wearer's head, an abrasion-resistant layer for fitting against the inner wall of the helmet, and an air bladder layer sandwiched between the skin-contact layer and the abrasion-resistant layer to form the air bladder cavity. Preferably, the air bladder cavity is divided into several interconnected air bladder chambers by a flexible skeleton.

[0009] Furthermore, the gas generator has a manually triggered switch or an automatically triggered switch in response to control commands.

[0010] Furthermore, the helmet is equipped with an antenna and a communication module. The communication module is connected to the antenna and the gas generator via a line located in the helmet. The antenna is used to receive signals and transmit them to the communication module. The communication module is used to transmit control commands from the received signals to the automatic trigger switch of the gas generator and to send signals outward through the antenna.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. Through the ring-shaped air cushion and the hat-shaped air cushion, in conjunction with the trigger-type neck brace, more safety protection can be provided for pilots / wearers in flight in non-fully enclosed single-person flight vehicles. According to the need for emergency landing, the gas generator can be manually or automatically triggered to provide the airbag protection of the inflatable neck brace, effectively protecting the pilot. The neck brace is restrained by mesh webbing and connected to the helmet, which facilitates the storage and fixation of the trigger airbag and its gas generator after replacement, and can also serve as a support frame after triggering to ensure uniform pressure on the load-bearing structure.

[0013] 2. The non-trigger air cushion adopts a multi-layer structure, which can improve structural stability. Different materials can be selected according to the installation location to adapt to skin contact, wear resistance and anti-static properties. It preferably adopts a structure of multiple interconnected air chambers separated by a flexible skeleton, which can improve support while ensuring the cushioning effect. The non-trigger air cushion is fixed to the inner wall of the helmet with a snap-on structure and is detachable, which facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the equipment on the inner wall of the helmet.

However, the embodiments described in the present utility model are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] This application provides a non-fully enclosed single-person flight vehicle helmet, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, where Figure 2 Part A shows a partial cross-sectional view of the helmet. Specifically, the helmet 1 has a goggle 3 at the front, a temporal-occipital bone ring-shaped air cushion 5 on the lower inner wall, a parietal-frontal bone cap-shaped air cushion 7 on the upper inner wall, an inflatable neck brace 4 at the bottom, and a gas generator 6 on the back. The inflatable neck brace 4 is connected to the gas generator 6 through a tube.

[0021] Optionally, the helmet body 1 is made of a lightweight, high-strength, impact-resistant material, preferably a composite of glass fiber and carbon fiber.

[0022] The inflatable neck brace 4 is housed within a mesh webbing 41 arranged along the bottom edge of the helmet 1, and is secured by the mesh webbing 41. The upper part of the mesh webbing 41 is connected to the interlayer between the helmet 1 and the parietal-frontal cap-shaped air cushion 7. When the inflatable neck brace 4 is not activated, the mesh webbing 41 is in an uninflated state and stored at the bottom edge of the helmet 1, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown; when the inflatable neck brace 4 is triggered, the airbag expands, causing the mesh webbing 41 to inflate, forming a protective layer, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the mesh webbing 41 effectively defines the position of the airbag. Preferably, the mesh webbing 41 is made of an elastic material to adapt to and cushion expansion. Meanwhile, to ensure the restraining and fixing effect of the mesh webbing 41 on the inflatable neck brace 4, a portion of the mesh webbing 41 can be bonded and fixed to the outer wall of the inflatable neck brace 4.

[0023] Both the temporal-occipital ring-shaped air cushion 5 and the parietal-frontal cap-shaped air cushion 7 are non-trigger air cushions. Specifically, for example... Figure 4 As shown, both the temporal-occipital ring-shaped air cushion 5 and the parietal-frontal cap-shaped air cushion 7 employ a multi-layered structure, including a skin-contact layer 51 for fitting against the wearer's head, an abrasion-resistant layer 53 for fitting against the inner wall of the helmet 1, and an airbag layer 52 sandwiched between the skin-contact layer 51 and the abrasion-resistant layer 53 to form the airbag cavity 50. It also has a buckle 54 for connecting to the helmet 1, facilitating the connection and disassembly of the non-trigger air cushion. Preferably, the skin-contact layer 51 is made of a material that meets hydrophobic and sweat-wicking requirements; the airbag layer 52 is made of a soft material that resists shear and tensile forces and has moderate elasticity, preferably a polymer material; and the abrasion-resistant layer 53 is made of abrasion-resistant and antistatic fabric material. More preferably, the airbag cavity 50 is divided into several interconnected airbag chambers by a flexible skeleton, improving the uniformity of protection.

[0024] Optionally, the gas generator 6 may employ a manually triggered switch or an automatically triggered switch that responds to control commands.

[0025] Preferably, the helmet 1 is equipped with an antenna 9 and a communication module 2. The communication module 2 is connected to the antenna 9 and the gas generator 6 through a line 8 provided on the helmet 1. The antenna 9 is used to receive signals and transmit them to the communication module 2. The communication module 2 is used to transmit the control commands in the received signals to the automatic trigger switch of the gas generator 6, and to send signals outward through the antenna 9.

[0026] In an emergency landing, the pilot manually activates the manual trigger switch of the gas generator 6, or triggers the automatic trigger switch of the gas generator 6 according to the program's control command, causing the inflatable neck brace 4 of the helmet 1 to... Figure 2 The uninflated state shown transforms into the state shown in the image. Figure 3 The inflated state shown provides more effective protection for the pilot.

[0027] The helmet 1 is also equipped with an image transmission device / data transmission device that is connected to the communication module 2 via line 8, which facilitates image and data communication.

[0028] Preferably, the circuit 8 is located between the airbag layer 52 and the wear-resistant layer 53, such as... Figure 4 As shown, it is easy to install, remove, and maintain together with non-trigger air cushions.

[0029] In application, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application.
