Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device technology, and more specifically, to a helmet device and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of transportation, cycling safety has received increasing attention. Helmets, as essential protective equipment for cyclists, play a crucial role in preventing head injuries. However, in practice, carrying and storing helmets often causes inconvenience for cyclists. Especially on two-wheeled vehicles such as electric bikes and motorcycles, cyclists often neglect to wear helmets because there's nowhere to put them or they're inconvenient to carry, which greatly increases the risk of accidents.

[0003] To address the issue of carrying and storing helmets, some helmet storage devices have emerged on the market. However, most of these devices suffer from problems such as unreasonable design and inconvenience in use. For example, the helmet locks are exposed structures, making it difficult to achieve waterproof and dustproof designs; dust, impurities, and rainwater from the external environment can easily penetrate the locks, causing damage and malfunction.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0019] The trajectory of the cover rotation is adapted to the surface of the storage frame and the surface of the helmet body.

[0020] Optionally, the connecting assembly includes a connecting piece, a rotating shaft, and an elastomer. The connecting piece is fixed to the side of the storage frame opposite to the receiving cavity. The rotating shaft is connected to the connecting piece and passes through the storage frame and the cover. The elastomer is sleeved outside the rotating shaft so that when the external force is removed, the cover rotates toward the direction closer to the front of the vehicle and closes the receiving cavity.

[0043] Various exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application.

[0044] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the scope of this application and its application or use.

[0045] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0046] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0047] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0048] Reference Figures 1a1-1l As shown, according to one embodiment of this application, a helmet device 1 is provided, which is applied to a vehicle. The helmet device 1 includes a storage frame 10, which is installed on the vehicle body. The storage frame 10 has a receiving cavity for storing a helmet body. The storage frame 10 has an entrance and a bottom that are disposed opposite to each other. It also includes a locking tongue 152, which is installed on the storage frame 10. The locking tongue 152 has an extended state and a retracted state. In the extended state, the locking tongue 152 is located in the receiving cavity. In the retracted state, the latch 152 retracts from the receiving cavity; the latch 152 includes a locking bottom surface 1521, which is at least partially curved; it also includes a rib 11, which is disposed in the storage frame 10 and extends along the direction from the inlet to the bottom; when the helmet body is housed in the receiving cavity, the rib 11 abuts against the outer surface of the helmet body; the latch 152 is in the extended state and located in the inner cavity of the helmet body, with the locking bottom surface 1521 abutting against the inner surface of the helmet body.

[0049] Specifically, the helmet device includes a locking device 15, which includes a locking body 151 and a locking tongue 152. The locking body 151 is installed on the side of the storage frame 10 opposite to the receiving cavity, and the locking tongue 152 is connected to the locking body 151. The locking device 15 is configured such that: when the locking tongue 152 is in the retracted state, the helmet body 3 can enter and exit the receiving cavity; when the locking tongue 152 is in the extended state, the locking tongue 152 can prevent the helmet body 3 from leaving the receiving cavity.

[0050] The helmet device 1 provided in this application embodiment is applied to vehicles, particularly two-wheeled vehicles such as electric vehicles and motorcycles; it is especially suitable for shared two-wheeled vehicles. The helmet device 1 mainly includes a storage frame 10, a locking tongue 152, and a rib 11. The storage frame 10 is installed on the vehicle body and has a receiving cavity for storing the helmet body. The locking tongue 152 is installed on the storage frame 10 and has an extended state and a retracted state. In the extended state, it is located in the receiving cavity; in the retracted state, it is out of the receiving cavity. The rib 11 is disposed on the storage frame 10. When the helmet body is stored in the receiving cavity, the rib 11 abuts against the outer surface of the helmet body, and the locking tongue 152 is in the extended state and located in the inner cavity of the helmet body. Thus, the rib 11 and the locking tongue 152 work together to effectively fix the helmet body, enabling the helmet device to safely and stably store the helmet body.

[0051] Specifically, when extended, the locking tongue 152 is located within the inner cavity of the helmet body. It cooperates with the reinforcing rib 11 to limit the movement of the helmet body from both the inner and outer sides, ensuring that the helmet body does not move freely within the accommodating cavity, thus improving the stability and security of the helmet body during storage. Simultaneously, the inner cavity of the helmet body protects the locking tongue 152 from external dust, impurities, rainwater, etc., preventing damage and malfunction of the lock 15. Furthermore, it prevents the locking tongue 152 from being exposed, thus preventing forced unlocking and improving the reliability and service life of the lock 15.

[0052] Furthermore, since the rib 11 extends along the direction from the entrance to the bottom of the storage box 10, the rib 11 can guide the movement of the helmet body in and out of the storage box 10 during the process of placing the helmet body into the storage box 10 and taking it out of the storage box 10, making the movement of the helmet body in and out of the storage box 10 smoother.

[0053] Furthermore, since the locking bottom surface 1521 of the locking tongue 152 is at least partially curved, it can better adapt to the shape changes of the inner surface of the helmet body when in contact with the inner surface of the helmet body, thereby improving the fit between the locking tongue 152 and the helmet body and enhancing the fixing effect of the locking tongue 152 on the helmet body.

[0054] Reference Figure 1a1 , Figure 1b As shown, in one embodiment, the storage frame 10 includes a base plate 101 and a surrounding plate 102, the base plate 101 and the surrounding plate 102 being connected to each other and enclosing to form the receiving cavity; the surrounding plate 102 has a shape adapted to the outer surface of the helmet body, and the base plate 101 has a shape adapted to the opening of the helmet body.

[0055] The base plate 101 has a locking opening, and the locking tongue 152 switches between an extended state and a retracted state via the locking opening; the rib 11 is connected to the surrounding plate 102.

[0056] In this specific example, the base plate 101 of the storage frame 10 has a shape adapted to the opening of the helmet body, and the surrounding plate 102 of the storage frame 10 has a shape adapted to the outer surface of the helmet body; thereby matching the shape of the accommodating cavity with the shape of the helmet body 3.

[0057] That is, the storage box 10 has a contoured cavity, the shape of which matches the shape of the helmet body 3, and the size of which also matches the size of the helmet body 3; thus, after the helmet body 3 is placed into the storage box, there will be no large gap between the storage box 10 and the helmet body 3, thereby avoiding the accumulation of garbage and debris in the storage box 10.

[0058] A locking opening on the base plate 101 allows the locking tongue 152 to enter and exit the receiving cavity, switching between an extended and retracted state. It is understood that when the helmet body is housed within the receiving cavity, the locking opening is located inside the helmet body; thus, the helmet body's inner cavity protects the locking opening, preventing external dust, impurities, etc., from entering and preventing the locking tongue 152 from smoothly entering and exiting the receiving cavity; and also preventing rainwater from entering and damaging the electronic components inside the lock 15.

[0059] Reference Figures 1a1-1c As shown, in one embodiment, the opening of the helmet body has a major axis and a minor axis, and when the helmet body is housed in the storage frame 10, the direction of the major axis is consistent with the direction between the entrance and the bottom.

[0060] Furthermore, the outer surface of the helmet body has an axisymmetric profile, and the helmet body can enter the storage frame 10 in two preset directions.

[0061] In this specific example, the outer surface of the helmet body 3 has an axisymmetric shape; for example, the projection of the helmet body 3 along its height direction is circular or elliptical. Furthermore, the shape of the accommodating cavity matches the shape of the helmet body 3. The base plate 101 of the storage frame 10 has a planar structure and is adapted to the opening of the helmet body. The helmet body 3 enters and exits the storage frame 10 along its long axis, allowing it to enter the accommodating cavity in two preset directions, for example, 180° apart, thus facilitating helmet return for the rider. Compared to a design where the helmet body can only enter the accommodating cavity in one direction, the helmet return success rate is significantly improved.

[0062] Reference Figures 1a1-1cAs shown, in one embodiment, one side of the rib 11 is connected to the surrounding plate 102, and the other side is configured as an arc shape recessed towards the surrounding plate 102 to fit against the outer surface of the helmet body.

[0063] In this specific example, one side of the rib 11 is connected to the surrounding plate 102, and the other side is set as an arc shape that is recessed towards the surrounding plate 102. This arc design of the rib 11 can better fit the outer surface contour of the helmet body, increase the contact area between the rib 11 and the helmet body, improve the stability and reliability of the rib 11 against the helmet body, and further prevent the helmet body from shaking significantly in the accommodating cavity.

[0064] Reference Figure 1c As shown, in one embodiment, the number of the reinforcing bars 11 is at least three, and the at least three reinforcing bars 11 are evenly spaced apart.

[0065] In this specific example, at least three ribs 11 are provided and are evenly spaced. Multiple ribs 11 abut against the outer surface of the helmet body from different positions, which can more evenly distribute the force on the helmet body, improve the stability of the helmet body during storage, and avoid damage to the helmet body or storage frame 10 due to excessive local force.

[0066] Reference Figures 1a1-1c As shown, in one embodiment, the reinforcing bar 11 and the enclosure plate 102 are integrally formed and connected.

[0067] In this specific example, the rib 11 and the surrounding plate 102 are integrally formed and connected. This connection method not only improves the connection strength between the rib 11 and the surrounding plate 102 and reduces the risk of the rib 11 loosening or falling off due to weak connection, but also simplifies the production process and reduces production costs.

[0068] Reference Figure 1a2 As shown, in one embodiment, the latch 152 includes a locking side 1522. When the latch 152 is in the extended state, the locking side 1522 faces the enclosure 102 and is curved.

[0069] In this specific example, the locking side 1522 of the latch 152 facing the enclosure 102 is curved; for example, the locking side 1522 of the latch 152 facing the enclosure 102 includes alternating first arc segment 15221 and second arc segment 15222, wherein the first arc segment 15221 is convex and the second arc segment 15222 is concave. This special shape configuration helps to improve the structural strength of the latch 152.

[0070] Reference Figure 1dAs shown, in one embodiment, the base plate 101 is provided with a signal recognizer 103, which is used to recognize the helmet body; when the signal recognizer 103 recognizes the helmet body, the locking tongue 152 switches from a retracted state to an extended state.

[0071] In this specific example, the base plate 101 is equipped with a signal recognizer 103 for identifying the helmet body. When the signal recognizer 103 identifies the helmet body, the locking tongue 152 switches from the retracted state to the extended state, thereby enabling the helmet device 1 to automatically lock the helmet body, improving ease of use. It also prevents the helmet body from failing to be secured due to misoperation or other reasons that cause the locking tongue 152 to fail to extend correctly, thus improving the safety and reliability of helmet storage.

[0072] Optionally, the signal reader 103 can be, for example, an NFC antenna reader with a compatible NFC tag on the helmet body, so that the signal reader 103 can accurately and effectively identify the helmet body.

[0073] Furthermore, before removing the helmet body 3 from the accommodating cavity, the unlocking operation is first performed through the mobile APP, which switches the locking tongue 152 from the extended state to the retracted state, that is, the locking tongue 152 switches from the state in the accommodating cavity to the state of exiting the accommodating cavity, so that the locking tongue 152 will not block the helmet body 3 from entering and exiting the accommodating cavity.

[0074] In other embodiments, after the helmet body 3 enters the receiving cavity and is placed in place, a locking operation can be performed via a mobile APP, causing the locking tongue 152 to switch from the retracted state to the extended state, that is, the locking tongue 152 to switch from the state of exiting the receiving cavity to the state of being located in the receiving cavity, thereby locking the helmet body 3 to prevent the helmet body 3 from being easily removed.

[0075] In addition, the locking tongue 152 can also switch from the extended state to the retracted state by external force; for example, during the process of the helmet body 3 entering the receiving cavity, the helmet body 3 abuts against the locking tongue 152 to switch the locking tongue 152 from the extended state to the retracted state; when the helmet body 3 enters the receiving cavity in place, the helmet body 3 disengages from the locking tongue 152 and the locking tongue 152 switches from the retracted state to the extended state.

[0076] In the case of a shared two-wheeled vehicle, the helmet device 1 provided in this application embodiment is used to unlock the vehicle via a mobile app when picking it up. At the same time, the lock 15 is also unlocked, allowing the rider to take the helmet body 3. When returning the vehicle, the rider clicks "return" via the mobile app, and the lock 15 automatically locks when the helmet body 3 is detected in place; or the rider clicks "return" via the mobile app, and after placing the helmet body 3 in place, clicks the app to close the lock 15.

[0077] Reference Figures 1e-1h As shown, in one embodiment, the helmet device is positioned near the front of the vehicle body; the helmet device includes a cover 12 and a connecting assembly 13, the cover 12 being rotatably connected to the storage frame 10 via the connecting assembly 13; the cover 12 can open the receiving cavity by rotating in a direction away from the front of the vehicle under the action of external force, and the receiving cavity can be closed by rotating in a direction closer to the front of the vehicle;

[0078] The trajectory of the rotating cover 12 is adapted to the surface of the storage frame 10 and the surface of the helmet body.

[0079] In this specific example, the storage frame 10 is mounted on the vehicle body 2 and positioned near the front 21 of the vehicle body 2. The cover 12 is rotatably connected to the storage frame 10 via a connecting assembly 13, see reference. Figure 1b As shown, when an external force is applied (such as when the rider manually pushes the cover 12 open), the cover 12 will rotate away from the front of the bike to open the cavity; when the external force is removed (such as when the rider releases their grip), the cover 12 will rotate towards the front of the bike to close the cavity. That is, the cover 12 is an automatic closing mechanism. As soon as the external force that opened the cover 12 is removed, the cover 12 will automatically close, thus keeping the cover 12 in a normally closed state. This not only facilitates the rider's operation but also ensures that the cavity is closed in time when not in use and remains closed to prevent dust and debris from entering.

[0080] Optionally, the cover 12 can also be manually closed, meaning that the cover 12 can only be closed by external force. Optionally, to facilitate operation by the rider, a handle 120 is provided on the cover 12.

[0081] Specifically, the helmet device 1 provided in this application embodiment has an opening direction that facilitates riders taking and placing the helmet body 3 while seated on the vehicle. Since the cover 12 rotates away from the front of the vehicle when the accommodating cavity is opened, it does not obstruct the front of the vehicle after opening, allowing riders to easily reach into the accommodating cavity from near the front of the vehicle to take and place the helmet body 3. Furthermore, the rotation trajectory of the cover 12 is adapted to the surface of the storage frame 10 and the surface of the helmet body 3 housed in the accommodating cavity, ensuring that the cover 12 does not occupy additional space after opening. This further ensures that the cover 12 does not hinder riders from taking and placing the helmet body 3 while seated on the vehicle.

[0082] Optionally, the storage frame 10 can be a one-piece molded structure forming a receiving cavity; or, the storage frame 10 can be a split structure forming a receiving cavity.

[0083] Reference Figure 1g As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting assembly 13 includes a connecting piece 130, a rotating shaft 131, and an elastic body 132. The connecting piece 130 is fixed to the side of the storage frame 10 away from the receiving cavity. The rotating shaft 131 is connected to the connecting piece 130 and passes through the storage frame 10 and the cover 12. The elastic body 132 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 131 so that when the external force is removed, the cover 12 rotates toward the direction closer to the front of the vehicle and closes the receiving cavity.

[0084] In this specific example, the connecting piece 130, the rotating shaft 131, and the elastomer 132 constitute a complete connecting assembly, which can be installed very easily. Two sets of connecting assemblies 13 are provided, which are connected to the storage frame 10 on both sides of the cover 12 respectively.

[0085] Reference Figure 1g As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting assembly 13 further includes a one-way damper 133 connected to the end of the pivot 131; the one-way damper 133 is configured to provide damping force when the cover 12 is rotated toward the front of the vehicle to close the receiving cavity.

[0086] In this specific example, one of the connecting components 13 also includes a one-way damper 133. The one-way damper 133 provides damping force, making the cover 12 rotate more smoothly under the action of the elastic body 132, thus preventing the cover 12 from hitting other components or causing safety hazards due to excessive rotation when closing the receiving cavity. Furthermore, the one-way damper 133 does not affect the cover 12's rotation under external force to open the receiving cavity.

[0087] Reference Figure 1fAs shown, in one embodiment, when the helmet body 3 is housed in the receiving cavity, the helmet body 3 is partially exposed outside the receiving cavity.

[0088] In this specific example, the helmet body 3 provides safety protection for the rider. When the helmet body 3 is housed in the accommodating cavity, only a portion of the helmet body 3 is located inside the accommodating cavity, while the other portion is exposed outside the accommodating cavity and covered by the cover 12. Thus, after the cover 12 is opened, the portion of the helmet body 3 exposed outside the accommodating cavity allows the rider to easily retrieve the helmet body 3.

[0089] Reference Figure 1e As shown, in one embodiment, the shape of the cover 12 can also match the shape of the helmet body 3, thereby ensuring that the cover 12 can rotate along the surface of the helmet body 3 and the storage frame 10; and the overall aesthetics are high when the cover 12 is closed.

[0090] Reference Figure 1e As shown, in one embodiment, the helmet body 3 has an axisymmetric shape. Furthermore, the helmet body can enter the storage frame 10 along two preset directions.

[0091] In this specific example, the helmet body 3 has an axisymmetric shape; for example, the projection of the helmet body 3 along its height direction is circular or elliptical. Furthermore, the shape of the accommodating cavity matches the shape of the helmet body 3. The base plate 101 of the storage frame 10 has a planar structure and is adapted to the opening of the helmet body. This allows the helmet body 3 to enter the accommodating cavity in two preset directions, for example, a 180° difference, thus facilitating the rider's helmet return operation. Compared to a design where the helmet body can only enter the accommodating cavity in one direction, the helmet return success rate is significantly improved.

[0092] Reference Figure 1i As shown, in one embodiment, the helmet device further includes a storage component 14 disposed on the side of the storage frame 10 opposite to the receiving cavity; thus, the storage component 14 does not obstruct the helmet body 3. The storage component 14 is configured for storing items. For example, the storage component 14 can be used to store disposable head coverings or disinfectant wipes, thereby improving the cleanliness of the helmet body 3 worn by the cyclist.

[0093] Optionally, the storage component 14 can be manually controlled; for example, the storage component 14 includes an outer shell 141 and an inner box 142, the outer shell 141 being fixedly installed on the storage frame 10, and the inner box 142 being slidably connected to the outer shell 141.

[0094] In this specific example, the outer shell 141 is fixedly installed in the storage frame 10, for example, on the side of the storage frame 10 opposite to the receiving cavity, so as not to occupy the space inside the receiving cavity; the inner box 142 is slidably connected to the outer shell 141, and disposable head covers or disinfectant wipes are stored in the inner box 142. The inner box 142 can be opened or closed during the sliding process relative to the outer shell 141. For example, the inner box 142 can be slid out from the side of the storage frame 10.

[0095] Specifically, the inner box 142 is used to store items, while the outer shell 141 can accommodate the inner box 142. When the inner box 142 is stored inside the outer shell 141, the storage component 14 is in a closed state, and the items stored in the inner box 142 are hidden. When the inner box 142 is slid out of the outer shell 141, the storage component 14 is in an open state, and the items stored in the inner box 142 are exposed.

[0096] Reference Figure 1i As shown, in one embodiment, the storage assembly 14 further includes a spring 143, one end of which is connected to the outer shell 141 and the other end of which is connected to the inner box 142.
