Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective helmet technology, and more specifically, to a cushioned Taekwondo protective helmet. Background Technology

[0002] Taekwondo helmets are primarily designed to protect the head. They are typically made of plastic and polycarbonate, which provides high impact resistance. Taekwondo helmets are widely used in Taekwondo competitions and are an essential piece of protective equipment that effectively protects athletes from the risk of head injuries.

[0003] Currently, patent publication number CN118903804A discloses a buffer-type Taekwondo protective helmet, which includes a helmet body, a chin strap on the helmet body, multiple air slots on the inner side wall of the helmet body, the multiple air slots being distributed circumferentially along the axis of the helmet body, an air tube communicating with the air slots on the helmet body, an inflation component for inflating air into the air tube on the helmet body, and an adsorption component for absorbing sweat on the helmet body.

[0004] However, existing technologies have some problems: Taekwondo high side kicks can cause great damage to the sides of a person's head and temples. However, general Taekwondo protective helmets usually only cushion the damage through the helmet material itself, and have limited protection for the sides of the head and temples. They are not convenient for protecting the two sparring partners in Taekwondo side kick practice. Therefore, we propose a cushioned Taekwondo protective helmet. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a new technical solution for a cushioned Taekwondo protective helmet.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a buffered taekwondo protective helmet is provided, including a helmet body, and further including detachable side frames disposed on both sides of the helmet body and protective plates movably disposed on the side frames. Buffer components for buffering the protective plates are provided at four positions (up, down, left, and right) on one side of the side frames.

[0007] Optionally, the side frame has T-shaped grooves on both sides near the helmet body, and T-shaped blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the helmet body, with the T-shaped grooves movably fitted onto the T-shaped blocks.

[0008] Optionally, a rubber groove is fixedly provided at the center of the side frame.

[0009] Optionally, support rods are fixedly installed at four positions: top, bottom, left, and right of the rubber groove, and the ends of the support rods away from the rubber groove are fixedly connected to the inner ring of the side frame.

[0010] Optionally, the buffer assembly includes four circular tubes fixedly disposed on one side of the side frame at four positions: top, bottom, left, and right. A rod is movably inserted into the circular tube, and a top ring is fixedly disposed on the circumferential side of the rod. The top ring is movably sleeved on the circular tube, and a spring is movably sleeved on the circumferential side of the circular tube located between the top ring and the side frame.

[0011] Optionally, the top ring and the insertion rod are fixedly connected by multiple limiting rods, and the circular tube has the same number of limiting grooves as the limiting rods, with the limiting rods moving through the limiting grooves.

[0012] According to the embodiments of this disclosure, the side frame, protective plate, and buffer assembly work together to provide cushioning. The cushioning effect is better than that of traditional cushioning using the material itself, and the cushioning stroke is longer and more breathable. The rubber groove can provide secondary cushioning of the force transmitted from the protective plate. The T-shaped groove and T-shaped locking block make it easy to quickly and easily disassemble and replace the side frame, which can better protect the sides of the head and temples, and effectively alleviate the damage caused to the sides of the head and temples by high side kicks. Because Taekwondo side kicks are powerful and heavy, they can easily damage the protective helmet and the cushioning assembly 1 used for injury reduction. The quick-release structure facilitates replacement and can be used by both sides when practicing Taekwondo side kicks.

[0013] Other features and advantages of the present invention will become clear from the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention 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 invention.

[0020] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0021] 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.

[0022] 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.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a cushioned taekwondo protective helmet includes a helmet body 21, detachable side frames 22 on both sides of the helmet body 21, and protective plates 23 movably mounted on the side frames 22. Cushioning components 1 are provided at four positions on one side of the side frames 22 for cushioning the protective plates 23. The side frames 22, protective plates 23, and cushioning components 1 work together to cushion the impact, thus addressing the significant damage to the sides of the head and temples caused by high side kicks in taekwondo. However, typical taekwondo protective helmets usually only provide cushioning through the helmet material itself, offering limited protection for the sides of the head and temples, making them unsuitable for protecting sparring partners practicing taekwondo side kicks.

[0024] The buffer assembly 1 includes four circular tubes 11 fixedly installed at four positions (up, down, left, and right) on one side of the side frame 22. A rod 12 is movably inserted into the circular tube 11. A top ring 13 is fixedly installed on the circumferential side of the rod 12. The top ring 13 is movably sleeved on the circular tube 11. A spring 16 is movably sleeved on the circumferential side of the circular tube 11 between the top ring 13 and the side frame 22. By sliding the rod 12 on the circular tube 11, the top ring 13 compresses the spring 16, thereby achieving the effect of buffering the force on the protective plate 23. The circular tube 11 and the rod 12 of the buffer assembly 1 form a multi-stage guiding structure through the limiting rod 14 and the limiting groove 15. When the protective plate 23 is impacted, the rod 12 slides axially along the circular tube 11, and the limiting rod 14 moves synchronously within the limiting groove 15, preventing the rod 12 from shifting and causing uneven force on the spring 16. This can better protect the sides of the head and temples, effectively alleviating the damage caused to the sides of the head and temples by high leg side kicks.

[0025] The top ring 13 and the insertion rod 12 are fixedly connected by multiple limiting rods 14. The circular tube 11 has the same number of limiting grooves 15 as the limiting rods 14. The limiting rods 14 move through the limiting grooves 15. Through the limiting rods 14 and the limiting grooves 15, the insertion rod 12 slides more stably in the circular tube 11, and the limiting rods 14 can fix the insertion rod 12.

[0026] The side frame 22 has T-shaped grooves 26 on both sides near the helmet body 21. T-shaped clips 27 are fixedly installed on both sides of the helmet body 21. The T-shaped grooves 26 are movably fitted onto the T-shaped clips 27. The side frame 22 can be easily and quickly disassembled and replaced through the T-shaped grooves 26 and T-shaped clips 27. When the T-shaped grooves 26 are fitted onto the T-shaped clips 27, the support rod 25 fits snugly against the side of the helmet body 21 and is not easy to fall off after being fixed, making it easy to replace damaged parts. The T-shaped grooves 26 and T-shaped clips 27 are designed with anti-slip textures, which take into account both quick disassembly and assembly and impact resistance and stability, making it easy to replace damaged parts or adjust the protective configuration. Because the Taekwondo side kick is powerful and heavy, it can easily damage the protective helmet and the cushioning component 1 used for injury reduction. The quick-release structure makes it easy to replace and is used by both sides when practicing Taekwondo side kicks.

[0027] A rubber groove 24 is fixedly installed at the center of the side frame 22, which can provide secondary buffering for the force transmitted from the protective plate 23.

[0028] Support rods 25 are fixedly installed at four positions on the rubber trough 24 (top, bottom, left, and right). The ends of the support rods 25 furthest from the rubber trough 24 are fixedly connected to the inner ring of the side frame 22. The rubber trough 24 is fixed by the support rods 25 and the side frame 22, facilitating secondary cushioning. The rubber trough 24 is made of a gradient density material, with the hardness of the central area being higher than that of the edges. When subjected to impact, the central area deforms first to absorb energy, while the edge area transmits the remaining force to the side frame 22 through the support rods 25. An elastic corrugated layer is added at the connection between the support rods 25 and the side frame 22. The corrugated layer expands and deforms when the support rods 25 are compressed, extending the cushioning time and reducing the peak impact force.

[0029] Through the above structural optimizations, this patent significantly outperforms traditional helmets in terms of cushioning performance, heat dissipation efficiency, and modular maintenance.

[0030] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
