Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a helmet basket for shared vehicles, belonging to the field of helmet technology for shared vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, shared bicycles are popular in major cities due to their environmental friendliness, convenience, and ease of use, making them a common mode of transportation for citizens. With increasing emphasis on safety when riding shared bicycles, especially shared electric bikes, helmets have become standard equipment. When returning the helmet to the basket after a ride, the helmet lock inside the basket secures it, completing the return process. However, sometimes the helmet isn't fully placed in the basket, and if the helmet lock is engaged at this point, it could be stolen later. Additionally, a cover needs to be installed on the basket to protect the helmet. However, during riding, the vibrations caused by the bike's movement can create noise between the cover and the basket, affecting the user's riding experience. Furthermore, as helmets become more functional, they also incorporate chips and circuitry. In summer, when shared bikes are exposed to sunlight for extended periods, the heat from the sun can cause the helmet and helmet lock inside the basket to overheat, potentially leading to malfunctions in the circuitry. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a shared vehicle helmet basket that ensures the helmet is returned in place through dual sensing, reduces vibration noise generated by the cover and basket, and improves the heat dissipation effect of the helmet and helmet lock.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A shared vehicle helmet basket includes a helmet, a basket, a helmet lock, and a cover.

[0006] The basket is used to hold helmets, and the helmet lock is located inside the basket.

[0007] The helmet has a first magnetic element inside its sidewall, and the helmet lock has a first sensing device for sensing the first magnetic element; the helmet has a second magnetic element at its front end, and the basket has a second sensing device for sensing the second magnetic element on its inner sidewall; when the first sensing device senses the first magnetic element and the second sensing device senses the second magnetic element, the helmet lock locks the inner sidewall of the helmet.

[0008] The cover plate is hinged to the open end of the basket, the open end of the basket is provided with a step, the cover plate is provided with a latch that engages with the step, and the cover plate is provided with a plurality of pressing components for pressing with the step.

[0009] Furthermore, the helmet lock includes a cover, a lock housing, and a control board, motor, gears, rack, latch, and position switch disposed within the lock housing, with the cover fixed to the lock housing;

[0010] The gear is fixed on the motor shaft of the motor, the rack meshes with the gear, the lock housing is provided with a sliding groove for the rack to slide, the lock tongue is fixed to one end of the rack, the lock housing is provided with a cylinder, the cylinder is provided with an inlet and outlet hole for the lock tongue to extend and retract, the lock tongue is engaged with the inner side wall of the helmet to lock, the other end of the rack is provided with a contact block, the position switch is used to detect whether the contact block has moved into place, and the first sensing device is fixed inside the lock housing;

[0011] The motor, position switch, first sensing device, and second sensing device are all electrically connected to the control board.

[0012] Furthermore, both the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are magnets.

[0013] Furthermore, both the first and second sensing devices are Hall elements.

[0014] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a pressure block and two pressure plates, both of which are disposed below the pressure block, and the connection between the pressure plate and the pressure block is chamfered.

[0015] Furthermore, the side wall of the basket is provided with several side ventilation slots.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom of the basket is provided with a bottom ventilation slot.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model ensures that when the helmet is returned to the basket, the helmet lock will only lock the inner wall of the helmet when the first sensor inside the helmet lock detects the first magnetic element and the second sensor on the inner wall of the basket detects the second magnetic element. This completes the return operation and prevents the helmet from being returned without being properly placed, thus preventing the helmet from being stolen or lost. A clamping component is added to the cover plate, which works with the step on the basket to clamp it, thereby reducing the vibration of the cover plate during riding and reducing noise. Side ventilation slots and bottom ventilation slots are provided on the basket to dissipate heat from the helmet and helmet lock. Attached Figure Description

[0033] To make the contents of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0034] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, this embodiment provides a shared vehicle helmet basket, which includes a helmet 1, a basket 2, a helmet lock, and a cover 4. The basket 2 is used to place the helmet 1, and the helmet lock is installed inside the basket 2. After the helmet 1 is placed in the basket 2, the helmet lock locks the inner wall of the helmet 1.

[0035] like Figure 3 , 10 As shown in Figures 11 and 13, in this embodiment, a first magnetic element 51 is provided inside the side wall of the helmet 1, and a first sensing device 61 for sensing the first magnetic element 51 is provided inside the helmet lock 3. In this embodiment, to simplify the installation structure, the first sensing device 61 is integrated into the helmet lock 3. A second magnetic element 52 is provided at the front end of the helmet 1, and a second sensing device 62 for sensing the second magnetic element 52 is provided on the inner side wall of the basket 2. In this embodiment, both the first magnetic element 51 and the second magnetic element 52 are magnets, and both the first sensing device 61 and the second sensing device 62 are Hall effect sensors.

[0036] Once the helmet 1 is placed in the basket 2, the first sensor 61 inside the helmet lock will detect the first magnetic element 51, and at the same time, the second sensor 62 on the inner wall of the basket 2 will detect the second magnetic element 52. Only when both magnetic elements are detected simultaneously will the helmet lock lock the inner wall of the helmet 1, thus completing the return operation. This prevents the helmet from being returned without being placed in the correct position, thereby preventing the helmet from being stolen or lost.

[0037] like Figure 9 , 10 As shown in Figure 11, the helmet 1 of this embodiment includes a shell 11 and an inner liner 12. The inner liner 12 is provided with a first magnetic element mounting groove 121 and a second magnetic element mounting groove 122. The first magnetic element 51 and the second magnetic element 52 can be glued into the two magnetic element mounting grooves. The shell 11 and the inner liner 12 can be connected by screws. After the shell 11 is installed on the inner liner 12, it can press and cover the first magnetic element 51 and the second magnetic element 52 tightly.

[0038] like Figure 6 , 7As shown, in this embodiment, the cover plate 4 is hinged to the open end of the basket 2. The open end of the basket 2 is provided with a step 21. The cover plate 4 is provided with a latch 41 that engages with the step 21. The cover plate 4 is provided with several pressing components 42 for pressing against the step 21.

The locking tongue 36 engages with the inner wall of the helmet 1 for locking. When the motor rotates forward, the gear 34 and rack 35 drive the locking tongue 36 to extend from the cylinder 310, locking the helmet; when the motor rotates in reverse, the locking tongue 36 retracts from the cylinder 310, unlocking the helmet. A contact block 311 is provided at the other end of the rack 35. A second mounting groove 314 is provided inside the lock housing 31. A position switch 37 is fixed inside the second mounting groove 314. The position switch 37 is used to detect whether the contact block 311 has moved into place. In this embodiment, the position switch 37 is a micro switch, and the model can be a Xinling LXW-AZ7140 micro switch or an MX-95-01 micro switch. When locking the helmet, the rack 35 drives the locking tongue 36 to extend from the cylinder 310. When the contact block 311 on the rack 35 contacts the position switch 37, it indicates that the helmet is locked in place. When unlocking the helmet, the rack 35 drives the locking tongue 36 to retract from the cylinder 310, and the contact block 311 disengages from the position switch 37. A third mounting groove 315 is provided inside the lock housing 31, and the first sensing device 61 is fixed inside the third mounting groove 315. After the cover 38 is fixed to the lock housing 31 with screws, the motor 33, position switch 37 and first sensing device 61 can be secured.
