Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of safety helmet technology, and more specifically, to a safety helmet with an identification structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the high-risk working environment of construction sites, safety helmets serve as the primary line of defense for the lives of construction workers, and their importance is self-evident. However, existing safety helmet management systems generally suffer from significant problems such as chaotic identification management and a lack of supervision on helmet use. The primary issue is the lack of an effective binding mechanism between the safety helmet and the specific user. This deficiency directly leads to safety helmets being shared by multiple people and randomly placed, violating the principle of individual protection and making it difficult for managers to quickly and accurately locate the responsible party in emergencies, thus delaying emergency response and accident handling. Secondly, traditional safety helmet wearing status supervision relies heavily on manual inspection. This passive and non-real-time monitoring method makes it difficult to comprehensively capture and promptly correct construction workers' violations, such as not wearing helmets or wearing them incorrectly, thereby weakening the protective effectiveness of safety helmets. Given the above situation, there is an urgent need for a safety helmet capable of identifying the wearer, using technological means to strengthen identification binding and wearing supervision, and fundamentally improve the safety management level of construction sites. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a safety helmet with an identification structure to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0005] A safety helmet with an identification structure includes a helmet body, a fingerprint recognition compartment on one side of the helmet body, a groove on the side of the fingerprint recognition compartment away from the helmet body, a fingerprint recognition module disposed in the groove, a sliding cover slidably disposed at the edge of the groove, a control compartment on the rear side of the helmet body, a power module and a microcontroller disposed inside the control compartment, a hollow rubber band connecting the control compartment and the fingerprint recognition compartment, the fingerprint recognition module and the microcontroller being connected via wires, a forehead band on the inner front side of the helmet body, a pressure sensor disposed on the forehead band, a warning module also disposed on the helmet body, the pressure sensor and the warning module being electrically connected to the microcontroller, and the power module being used to power the microcontroller.

[0006] In an embodiment of this utility model, the fingerprint recognition compartment is located on the side of the helmet body near the wearer's left ear.

[0007] In an embodiment of this utility model, an embedding groove is provided above the brim of the safety helmet body.

[0008] In an embodiment of this utility model, the warning module includes an RGB light strip and a speaker. The speaker is disposed on the inner side of the helmet body, the RGB light strip is disposed in the embedded groove, and a lampshade is disposed on the outer side of the embedded groove.

[0009] In an embodiment of this utility model, the RGB light strip and the speaker are respectively electrically connected to the microcontroller.

[0010] In an embodiment of this utility model, a first sliding groove is provided at both sides of the embedding groove, and a first slider is provided on both sides of the sliding cover near the top in the width direction. The first slider is slidably disposed in the first sliding groove.

[0011] In an embodiment of this utility model, a second sliding groove is provided at the edge of the embedding groove near the fingerprint recognition module, and a second slider is provided on the side of the sliding cover near the fingerprint recognition module. The second slider is slidably disposed in the second sliding groove, and an abutment spring is provided between the second slider and the bottom wall of the second sliding groove. A positioning anchor is provided in the middle of the second slider, and the positioning anchor is inserted into one end of the abutment spring.

[0012] In an embodiment of this utility model, a soft brush is provided on the side of the sliding cover near the fingerprint recognition module. The surface formed by the ends of the soft brush bristles is parallel to the recognition window of the fingerprint recognition module, and the soft brush contacts the recognition window of the fingerprint recognition module when the sliding cover is fully closed.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a fingerprint recognition module, accurate identification of the wearer's identity is achieved, avoiding problems such as misuse and arbitrary placement caused by the lack of an identity binding mechanism in traditional safety helmets. With the help of pressure sensors and warning modules, real-time monitoring of the wearing status of the safety helmet is realized. When the wearer does not wear the safety helmet correctly or the identity authentication fails, the warning module will immediately issue a warning to remind the wearer to correct the situation. It also makes it easier for construction managers to discover and deal with violations in a timely manner. The sliding cover design allows the fingerprint recognition module to always remain closed when not subjected to external force, which not only protects the fingerprint recognition module from interference and damage from the external environment, but also makes it easy for the wearer to quickly open it for fingerprint recognition. The soft brush design allows for cleaning every time the sliding cover is opened, avoiding recognition difficulties caused by dirt accumulation and reducing maintenance costs.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a safety helmet with an identity recognition structure, including a safety helmet body 10. A fingerprint recognition compartment 20 is provided on one side of the safety helmet body 10. A groove 21 is formed on the side of the fingerprint recognition compartment 20 away from the safety helmet body 10. A fingerprint recognition module 22 is provided in the groove 21. A sliding cover 23 is slidably provided at the edge of the groove 21. A control compartment 30 is provided on the rear side of the safety helmet body 10. A power module 31 and a microcontroller 32 are provided inside the control compartment 30. A hollow rubber band 33 connects the control compartment 30 and the fingerprint recognition compartment 20. The fingerprint recognition module 22 and the microcontroller 32 are connected by wires. A forehead band 12 is provided on the inner front side of the safety helmet body 10. A pressure sensor 13 is provided on the forehead band 12. A warning module 40 is also provided on the safety helmet body 10. The pressure sensor 13 and the warning module 40 are electrically connected to the microcontroller 32 respectively. The power module 31 is used to power the microcontroller 32.

[0025] In this embodiment, the fingerprint recognition compartment 20 is located on the side of the safety helmet body 10 near the wearer's left ear. For the wearer, placing the speaker 42 near the ear makes it easier to hear clearly in a noisy construction environment.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, an embedding groove 11 is provided above the brim of the safety helmet body 10.

[0027] Furthermore, the warning module 40 includes an RGB light strip 41 and a speaker 42. The speaker 42 is located on the inner side of the helmet body 10, and the RGB light strip 41 is located in the embedding groove 11. A lampshade is provided on the outside of the embedding groove 11. The RGB light strip 41 and the speaker 42 are electrically connected to the microcontroller 32 respectively.

[0028] like Figure 5As shown, a first sliding groove 2101 is provided on both sides of the embedded groove 11. A first slider 2301 is provided on both sides of the sliding cover 23 near the top in the width direction. The first slider 2301 is slidably disposed in the first sliding groove 2101. A second sliding groove 2102 is provided on the edge of the embedded groove 11 near the fingerprint recognition module 22. A second slider 2302 is provided on the side of the sliding cover 23 near the fingerprint recognition module 22. The second slider 2302 is slidably disposed in the second sliding groove 2102. An anti-collision spring 24 is provided between the second slider 2302 and the bottom wall of the second sliding groove 2102. A positioning anchor 2303 is provided in the middle of the second slider 2302. The positioning anchor 2303 is inserted into one end of the anti-collision spring 24. The anti-collision spring 24 keeps the sliding cover 23 closed when there is no external force, which provides a certain degree of protection, such as waterproofing and dustproofing.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, a soft brush is provided on the side of the slider 23 near the fingerprint recognition module 22. The surface formed by the ends of the soft brush bristles is parallel to the recognition window of the fingerprint recognition module 22. When the slider 23 is fully closed, the soft brush contacts the recognition window of the fingerprint recognition module 22. The soft brush can clean the slider 23 every time it is opened, preventing dirt from accumulating on the recognition window and making it difficult to recognize fingerprints later.

[0030] Specifically, the working principle of this safety helmet with an identification structure is as follows: Before use, the sliding cover 23 is opened to perform fingerprint recognition. After successful recognition, the RGB light strip 41 is constantly lit in green and a voice prompt is given through the speaker 42 to indicate that it should be worn. Furthermore, the timer attached to the microcontroller 32 starts timing. After a certain period of time (in this solution, the timing threshold is set to 5 minutes), if the pressure sensor 13 does not detect that it is being worn, the indicator light goes out and it is prompted that no one is wearing it and it is in sleep mode, waiting for the next fingerprint unlock. If the fingerprint recognition is incorrect or the helmet is worn directly without scanning a fingerprint, the RGB light strip 41 is constantly lit in red and a prompt voice is played at regular intervals. Passing construction personnel and relevant leaders can supervise each other to ensure that the helmet is worn properly.

[0031] It should be noted that the specific model specifications of the microcontroller 32, RGB light strip 41 and speaker 42 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.

[0032] The power supply and operating principle of the microcontroller 32, RGB light strip 41 and speaker 42 are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The present invention has been further described above with reference to specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific description herein should not be construed as limiting the substance and scope of the present invention. Various modifications made by those skilled in the art to the above embodiments after reading this specification are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
