Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cycling helmet technology, and in particular to a cycling recording helmet with camera function. Background Technology
[0002] With the popularization of cycling and the improvement of safety awareness, cycling recording helmets with camera functions have gradually become essential equipment for cycling enthusiasts. Their core function is to record the cycling process in real time through an integrated camera, which can provide evidence for the determination of liability in accidents, as well as preserve cycling scenery and route data.
[0003] The cameras in existing cycling recording helmets are directly fixed to the outside of the helmet. The cameras are mostly rigidly fixed by direct gluing or bolting, without any cushioning and protection design. If a collision occurs during cycling, such as falling and hitting the ground or foreign objects flying, the camera will directly impact the ground or foreign objects, resulting in direct force damage to the camera. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This utility model provides a cycling recording helmet with a camera function. The front camera protection box and the front protective frame protect the camera module inside. When the front protective frame is impacted, the front protective frame, the camera module and the outer connecting frame move backward synchronously. The backward force of the outer connecting frame is greater than the locking force of the lower positioning post. The lower positioning post moves upward, and the front protective frame, the camera module and the outer connecting frame move directly backward into the front camera protection box, providing cushioning while avoiding direct collision between the camera module and the outside.
[0005] This utility model provides a cycling recording helmet with camera function, specifically including: a main cycling helmet, a camera module and an upper positioning slide. The camera module is provided on the front side of the main cycling helmet, and the upper positioning slide is provided above the camera module. A lower strap is fixedly connected to the lower part of the main cycling helmet. A front camera protection box is fixedly provided on the front of the main cycling helmet. Side sliding grooves are provided at intervals on both sides inside the front camera protection box, and upper through sliding grooves are provided at intervals on both the top and bottom of the front camera protection box.
[0006] Furthermore, the camera module can be a finished action camera, or it can be integrated from components such as a camera and a battery. The camera module is vertically slidably inserted into the inner side of the outer connecting frame. Side connecting sliders are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer connecting frame. Upper control frames are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the outer connecting frame. A front protective frame is fixedly connected to the front of the outer connecting frame. A rear connecting spring is fixedly connected to the back of the outer connecting frame. The elastic coefficient of the rear connecting spring is 15N / mm, and the preload is 30N.
[0007] Furthermore, the tail end of the rear connecting spring is fixedly connected to the main riding helmet, and the camera module and the outer connecting frame are both located inside the front camera protection box. The front camera protection box and the front protective frame together protect the camera module inside, preventing the camera module from directly contacting and colliding with hard objects.
[0008] Furthermore, the side connecting slider and the side sliding groove are slidably connected, the upper control frame and the upper through sliding groove are slidably connected, the camera module is located between the outer connecting frame and the front protective frame, and the front camera protection box and the front protective frame jointly protect the inner camera module.
[0009] Furthermore, a lower positioning column is fixedly connected to the lower part of the upper positioning slide, the upper positioning slide and the middle connecting slide are axially slidably connected, and an upper support spring is fixedly connected to the upper part of the upper positioning slide. The upper support spring has an elastic coefficient of 25N / mm and a preload of 40N.
[0010] Furthermore, the lower end of the lower positioning post is engaged with the top groove of the outer connecting frame, the bottom of the lower positioning post is a spherical block or a wedge-shaped block with a 45° inclined plane, the upper end of the upper support spring is fixedly connected to the middle connecting slide post, and the lower positioning post is tightly engaged with the groove of the outer connecting frame.
[0011] Furthermore, the lower end of the middle connecting slide column is fixedly connected to the front camera protection box. The elastic force of the upper support spring is greater than that of the rear connecting tension spring. The upper support spring and the rear connecting tension spring form an elastic buffer system to absorb the impact force during a collision. The outer connecting frame quickly retracts into the front camera protection box along the side slide groove, so that the camera module is completely embedded in the cavity protection area of the front camera protection box.
[0012] This utility model provides a cycling recording helmet with a camera function, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] The camera module enables video recording during riding. The front camera protection box and front protective frame protect the inner camera module from damage caused by external collisions.
[0014] When the front protective frame is impacted, the front protective frame, camera module, and external connecting frame move backward synchronously. The backward force of the external connecting frame is greater than the locking force of the lower positioning post, causing the lower positioning post to move upward. The front protective frame, camera module, and external connecting frame then move directly backward into the front camera protection box, providing cushioning while preventing direct collision between the camera module and the outside, further enhancing the protection effect of the camera module.

[0028] 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, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0029] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 :
[0030] This utility model proposes a cycling recording helmet with camera function, including a main cycling helmet 1, a camera module 2, and an upper positioning slide 3. A lower strap 101 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the main cycling helmet 1. A front camera protection box 102 is fixedly installed at the front of the main cycling helmet 1. Side sliding grooves 103 are spaced apart on both sides of the interior of the front camera protection box 102, and upper through sliding grooves 104 are spaced apart on both the top and bottom of the front camera protection box 102. The camera module 2 is located on the front side of the main cycling helmet 1. The camera module 2 can be a ready-made action camera or integrated from components such as a camera and a battery. The camera module 2 is vertically slidably inserted into the inner side of the outer connecting frame 201. Side connecting sliders 202 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer connecting frame 201. An upper control frame 203 is fixedly connected to both the top and bottom of the outer connecting frame 201. A front protective frame 2 is fixedly connected to the front of the outer connecting frame 201. 04. The back of the outer connecting frame 201 is fixedly connected to a rear connecting spring 205, which has an elastic coefficient of 15 N / mm and a preload of 30 N. The side connecting slider 202 and the side sliding groove 103 are slidably connected. The upper control frame 203 and the upper through sliding groove 104 are slidably connected. The camera module 2 is located between the outer connecting frame 201 and the front protective frame 204. The front camera protection box 102 and the front protective frame 204 jointly protect the inner camera module 2, directly blocking the impact of external foreign objects such as gravel and branches on the camera lens. An upper positioning slide 3 is provided above the camera module 2. The lower part of the upper positioning slide 3 is fixedly connected to a lower positioning column 301. The upper positioning slide 3 and the middle connecting column 302 are axially slidably connected. The upper part of the upper positioning slide 3 is fixedly connected to an upper support spring 303, which has an elastic coefficient of 25 N / mm and a preload of 40 N.
[0031] In this embodiment, the tail end of the rear connecting spring 205 is fixedly connected to the main riding helmet 1. The camera module 2 and the outer connecting frame 201 are both located inside the front camera protection box 102. The front camera protection box 102 and the front protective frame 204 jointly protect the camera module 2 inside, preventing the camera module 2 from directly contacting and colliding with hard objects.
[0032] In this embodiment, the lower end of the lower positioning post 301 is engaged with the top groove of the outer connecting frame 201. The bottom of the lower positioning post 301 is a spherical block or a wedge-shaped block with a 45° inclined plane. The upper end of the upper support spring 303 is fixedly connected to the middle connecting slide post 302. The lower positioning post 301 is tightly engaged with the groove of the outer connecting frame 201 to ensure that the camera module 2 does not loosen or shift when the amplitude of the riding bump is ≤1.5mm.
[0033] In this embodiment, the lower end of the middle connecting slide column 302 is fixedly connected to the front camera protection box 102. The elastic force of the upper support spring 303 is greater than that of the rear connecting tension spring 205. The upper support spring 303 and the rear connecting tension spring 205 form an elastic buffer system to absorb the impact force during collision. The outer connecting frame 201 quickly retracts along the side slide groove 103 to the inside of the front camera protection box 102 with a retraction stroke of 15mm, so that the camera module 2 is completely embedded in the cavity protection area of the front camera protection box 102, avoiding direct collision between the camera module 2 and the outside.
[0034] In this second embodiment, based on the first embodiment, other brands of video recording devices, as long as they are not larger than the size of the video module 2, can be connected and fixed to the external connecting frame 201 with screws, thus achieving compatibility with other brands of video recording devices, expanding compatibility, and meeting the usage habits of different people and different brands of video recording devices.
[0035] The working principle of this embodiment: The main cycling helmet 1 is worn on the head of the person. The lower strap 101 and the person's chin are fastened together by buckles to fix the main cycling helmet 1 and the person's head. The usage and structure are the same as existing helmets. The camera module 2 is a finished action camera. The camera module 2 records images of the surrounding area at the front of the main cycling helmet 1. The camera module 2 realizes the function of recording and filming during cycling. The front protective frame 204 is located on the outer front of the camera module 2. The front protective frame 204 is made of ABS engineering plastic, which directly blocks the impact of external foreign objects such as gravel and branches on the camera lens. The lens breakage rate is reduced by 90% compared with the traditional lens without a protective structure. The closed cavity design of the front camera protection box 102 further absorbs the impact energy. The front camera protection box 102 and the front protective frame 204 together protect the inner camera module 2, avoiding direct contact between the camera module 2 and hard objects, and avoiding damage to the camera module 2 by collision with hard objects.
[0036] The upper support spring 303 provides a 40N preload with a spring constant of 25N / mm, pushing the lower positioning post 301 to tightly engage with the groove of the outer connecting frame 201, ensuring that the camera module 2 does not loosen or shift when the amplitude of riding bumps is ≤1.5mm. When the front protective frame 204 is impacted, if the impact force exceeds the engagement threshold of the lower positioning post 301 (50N), the front protective frame 204, the camera module 2, and the outer connecting frame 201 will move backward synchronously. The backward force of the outer connecting frame 201 overcomes the preload of the upper support spring 303, and the backward force of the outer connecting frame 201 is greater than the support force of the upper support spring 303. The locking force of the lower positioning post 301 forces the lower positioning post 301 to move upward and disengage from the groove, triggering the unlocking mechanism. After unlocking, the rear connecting spring 205 drives the outer connecting frame 201 to quickly retract along the side sliding groove 103 into the front camera protection box 102 with a retraction stroke of 15mm, so that the camera module 2 is completely embedded in the cavity protection area of the front camera protection box 102, avoiding direct collision between the camera module 2 and the outside, and further improving the protection effect of the camera module 2. The detachable design of the side sliding groove 103 and the side connecting slider 202 makes the replacement time of the camera module 2 faster and facilitates maintenance work.
