Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of railway inspection technology, specifically to a head-mounted device for railway track maintenance inspection. Background Technology

[0002] Railway track maintenance inspection is a crucial link in ensuring railway safety. Its core value lies in the timely identification of potential hazards in railway facilities and equipment, providing decisive support for the smooth and orderly operation of railway transportation. As an important piece of equipment for inspection work, railway track maintenance inspection helmets are constantly being upgraded through technological iterations. Currently, most inspection helmets are equipped with camera functions, which can record various situations during the inspection process in real time, providing intuitive and crucial video evidence for subsequent analysis, judgment, and decision-making.

[0003] However, existing inspection helmets have shortcomings when patrol work encounters inclement weather such as rain and snow. In rainy weather, raindrops accumulate on the helmet and tend to run down its curves. Since the camera area lacks a rainproof structure, rainwater flowing onto the camera directly reduces the clarity of the captured image. This problem not only interferes with the patrol personnel's real-time observation and accurate judgment of the captured content but also negatively impacts the overall quality and final effect of the inspection work. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a head-mounted device for railway maintenance inspection.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] Railway maintenance inspection headgear, including helmets;

[0007] The camera device is located at the front shell of the helmet;

[0008] Rainproof panels, including:

[0009] In the middle, it is located on the front shell of the helmet and fits against the top of the camera equipment to form a rainproof structure;

[0010] A pair of side sections are located on both sides of the middle section and extend along the curvature of the outer wall of the helmet towards the side edge of the helmet, forming a lateral flow channel for the converged water flow.

[0011] The flow-stopping part is continuously provided at the front edge position of the middle part and the two sides to form an edge stop structure for the flow-guiding channel.

[0012] Preferably, the protrusion length of the middle part is 1.5 to 2 times the protrusion length of the camera device, and is not located within the shooting direction of the camera device.

[0013] Preferably, the side portion and the middle portion are connected smoothly, and the width of the side portion gradually narrows away from the middle portion.

[0014] Preferably, both bottom edges of the helmet slope downwards from their connection with the side to their rear, and two upward-curving water-blocking strips are provided at the edges of both sides, and the water-blocking strips are connected to the corresponding flow-stopping parts.

[0015] Preferably, the camera device has a downwardly tilted mirror with a tilt angle of 10 to 20 degrees.

[0016] Preferably, the top shell of the helmet is provided with several strip-shaped protrusions to improve the strength of the helmet and guide the flow direction of the converging water flow.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the rainproof plate set on the top of the camera device can block falling raindrops and water flow on the helmet in rainy weather, effectively preventing the camera lens from being interfered with by rain and resulting in blurry images. At the same time, the blocked water flow can flow along the rainproof plate towards the back of the helmet, preventing rainwater from flowing directly down from the front of the helmet and interfering with the user's railway inspection, further improving the wearing effect of the helmet, thereby improving the inspection efficiency of railway maintenance.

[0024] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0025] Example

[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the railway maintenance inspection headgear includes a helmet 1. The top shell of the helmet 1 has several strip-shaped protrusions to improve the strength of the helmet 1 and guide the flow direction of the water. From a structural strength perspective, the strip-shaped protrusions increase the mechanical support points of the shell, effectively dispersing external impact forces, significantly improving the overall deformation resistance of the helmet 1, and enhancing the protection performance for the wearer's head. From a fluid dynamics perspective, the protruding strip structure can guide rainwater to form an orderly water flow path on the top of the helmet 1, preventing water from flowing randomly and laying the foundation for the subsequent water guiding function of the rainproof plate 3.

[0027] The camera device 2 is located at the front shell of the helmet 1. Its core function is to follow the user's field of vision to achieve the function of shooting, which facilitates subsequent research and processing. The camera device 2 is equipped with a downward tilted mirror 21 with a tilt angle of 10 to 20 degrees. This angle design ensures that the camera range can cover the railway conditions or the required shooting scene in front, and reduces the probability of the mirror 21 being directly exposed to vertically falling rain or strong light. It also reduces the problem of blurry shooting caused by rain directly impacting the mirror 21 and strong light reflection interfering with the image, thereby improving the shooting stability in complex environments to a certain extent.

[0028] Rainproof panel 3, comprising:

[0029] The middle part 31 is located on the front shell of the helmet 1 and fits against the top of the camera device 2. The protruding length of the middle part 31 is 1.5 to 2 times the protruding length of the camera device 2, and it is not located in the shooting direction of the camera device 2, forming a rainproof structure. This length design can fully cover the top and upper front area of ​​the camera device 2, effectively blocking vertically falling rainwater or water flowing down from the top of the helmet 1 from directly impacting the camera device 2, thus improving the overall rainproof effect.

[0030] A pair of side sections 32 are respectively located on both sides of the center section 31 and extend along the arc of the outer wall of the helmet 1 towards the side edge of the helmet 1. The connection between the side section 32 and the center section 31 is smooth, and its width gradually narrows away from the center section 31; forming a lateral flow channel for the converged water flow; its arc design fits the shape of the helmet 1, and can guide the lateral water flow that is not completely blocked by the center section 31 or the overflow from the side of the helmet 1 to flow to both sides along the channel, avoiding water flow from seeping into the side or bottom of the camera device 2; the gradually narrowing structure accelerates the guiding efficiency of the water flow and reduces the accumulation of water in the channel.

[0031] In addition, both sides of the bottom edge of the helmet 1 slope downwards from the connection point with the side part 32 to the rear, and two upward-curving water-blocking strips 11 are provided at the edges of both sides. The water-blocking strips 11 are connected to the corresponding flow-stopping parts 33. The sloping design of the bottom edges of the helmet 1, combined with the water-blocking strips 11 at the edges, forms the basic slope for lateral drainage. This can guide the water flow from the side part 32 to the rear of the helmet 1, reduce the water flow stagnation on the side, and thus prevent the water flow from flowing to the front of the helmet 1. This avoids interference with the camera equipment 2 and the user's field of vision, and further improves the convenience for users to inspect the railway in rainy weather.

[0032] The flow-stopping part 33 is continuously provided at the front edge of the middle part 31 and the two side parts 32, forming an edge stop structure for the flow channel; it can effectively limit the flow range of water in the channel, prevent water from overflowing from the edge of the rainproof plate 3 and flowing to other areas in front of the camera device 2 or helmet 1, and ensure that the water flows strictly according to the preset path (through the side parts 32 to both sides of the helmet), further enhancing the accuracy of rain protection and flow guidance.

[0033] In summary, through the coordinated structure of the various components, not only is the basic protective strength of helmet 1 enhanced, but an efficient rain-proof and airflow-guiding system is also constructed, which specifically solves the problem of interference with the shooting of camera device 2 in rainy weather. At the same time, it improves the comfort and safety of wearing the helmet, demonstrating the technical advantages of functional integration and refined design.

[0034] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
