Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shared electric vehicle technology, and in particular to a shared electric vehicle with an integrated helmet. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread adoption of shared mobility in cities, shared electric bikes are widely used as a green and convenient mode of transportation in daily commutes. To meet riding safety requirements, more and more shared electric bikes are equipped with helmets for users to wear while riding. However, since helmets are shared by multiple users, frequent and prolonged contact can easily breed bacteria or viruses. If they are not cleaned in time, there are obvious hygiene hazards and risks of cross-infection, which seriously affect users' experience and sense of security.
[0003] Currently, most shared electric bikes on the market use helmets placed in open or semi-enclosed structures, relying solely on manual cleaning and maintenance. This is inefficient and cannot achieve immediate disinfection after each use, resulting in problems such as "lagging cleaning" and "lack of traceability." Some solutions that attempt to set up helmet compartments generally lack a systematic automatic cleaning and drying mechanism, making it difficult to adapt to high-frequency urban usage scenarios. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to provide a helmet-integrated shared electric vehicle to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. This solution, through the coordinated operation of a locking device, nozzles, a fan, ultraviolet lamps, a liquid storage tank, and a control system, automatically initiates the disinfection process after the user places the helmet in the vehicle bed. First, the nozzles spray disinfectant from the liquid storage tank to treat the inside of the helmet. Then, the fan starts to expel the air inside the helmet, accelerating the drying process. At the same time, the ultraviolet lamps further irradiate and sterilize, achieving fully automated cleaning of the helmet's interior. The entire operation is completed automatically by the control system without human intervention, effectively solving the technical pain points of low cleaning efficiency, incomplete sterilization, and lack of traceability in the prior art. It ensures that the helmet is "disinfected upon placement and clean upon removal," making it more suitable for the high-frequency interactive usage needs in shared scenarios.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A helmet-integrated shared electric vehicle includes an electric vehicle body, a cargo bed, a helmet, and a control system. The cargo bed is connected to the front end of the electric vehicle body, and the helmet is disposed inside the cargo bed. A locking device for use with the helmet is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the cargo bed. Multiple fans communicating with the inner cavity are connected to the bottom of the cargo bed. The fans are located below the helmet. A liquid storage tank is connected to the bottom of the cargo bed. A nozzle communicating with the inner cavity is connected to the liquid storage tank. The nozzle extends into the inner cavity of the cargo bed and is located at the center below the helmet.
[0007] Preferably, an ultraviolet lamp is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the truck bed, and the ultraviolet lamp is located at the center below the helmet.
[0008] Preferably, the control system includes a power supply and a controller, and the locking device, fan, nozzle and ultraviolet lamp are all electrically connected to the control system.
[0009] Preferably, the locking device includes a locking mechanism and a sensor.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the truck bed is hollowed out, and multiple photovoltaic panels are connected to the outer end of the truck bed.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this technical solution compared to existing technologies are as follows:
[0012] This solution utilizes a locking device, nozzles, a fan, ultraviolet lamps, a storage tank, and a control system to automatically initiate the disinfection process after the user places the helmet in the vehicle's cargo bed. First, the nozzles spray disinfectant from the storage tank to treat the inside of the helmet. Then, the fan starts to expel the air from inside the helmet, accelerating the drying process. Simultaneously, the ultraviolet lamps further sterilize the helmet, achieving fully automated cleaning of the helmet's interior. The entire operation is completed automatically by the control system without human intervention, effectively solving the technical pain points of low cleaning efficiency, incomplete sterilization, and lack of traceability in existing technologies. This ensures that the helmet is "disinfected upon placement and clean upon removal," making it more suitable for the high-frequency interactive usage needs in shared scenarios.

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0016] like Figure 1 The diagram shows a helmet-integrated shared electric vehicle, comprising an electric vehicle body, a cargo box 1, a helmet 2, and a control system. The cargo box 1 is connected to the front end of the electric vehicle body, and the helmet 2 is located inside the cargo box 1. A locking device 3 for use with the helmet 2 is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the cargo box 1. Multiple fans 4 communicating with the inner cavity are connected to the bottom of the cargo box 1. The fans 4 are located below the helmet 2. A liquid storage tank 5 is connected to the bottom of the cargo box 1. A nozzle 6 communicating with the inner cavity is connected to the liquid storage tank 5. The nozzle 6 extends into the inner cavity of the cargo box 1 and is located at the center below the helmet 2.
[0017] Currently, most shared electric bikes on the market use helmets placed in open or semi-enclosed structures, relying solely on manual cleaning and maintenance. This is inefficient and cannot achieve immediate disinfection after each use, resulting in problems such as "lagging cleaning" and "lack of traceability." Some solutions that attempt to set up helmet compartments generally lack a systematic automatic cleaning and drying mechanism, making it difficult to adapt to high-frequency urban usage scenarios.
[0018] This solution utilizes a control system and a locking device. After the user finishes using the electric vehicle, they return the helmet 2 to the cargo bed 1. The locking mechanism automatically secures the helmet 2, and the control system then triggers the nozzle 6 and fan 4 to start sequentially. The reservoir 5 is filled with disinfectant liquid. First, the nozzle 6 sprays the disinfectant liquid in a mist onto the inside of the helmet 2, sterilizing the inner wall. Then, the nozzle 6 stops, and simultaneously, the fan 4 outputs airflow to the lower side of the cargo bed 1, removing air from inside the helmet 2, thus ventilating the helmet 2 and removing disinfectant vapors and the sterilized liquid. The released odor prevents users from inhaling high concentrations of residual disinfectant while wearing the helmet, and also increases the evaporation rate of the disinfectant liquid, accelerating the drying of the helmet and restoring it to a wearable state in a short time. Alcohol is the vanguard of sterilization in "fighting the enemy," while the fan is the clean logistics in "cleaning up the battlefield." The two work together to ensure the sterilization effect of Helmet 2 while preventing users from coming into contact with a damp, smelly Helmet 2, meeting both practicality and user experience requirements. At the same time, the disinfection work is carried out automatically through the control system without manual intervention. The disinfection process is triggered immediately after the user returns the helmet, ensuring that it is clean when the next user picks it up.
[0019] An ultraviolet lamp 7 is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the truck bed 1. The ultraviolet lamp 7 is located in the center below the helmet 2.
[0020] In this solution, after the locking device locks the helmet 2, the control system will automatically trigger the ultraviolet lamp 7 to start, further disinfecting the inner wall of the helmet 2. The ultraviolet lamp 7 and the fan 4 start and stop together. To save power, the start time is set to ten minutes.
[0021] The control system includes a power supply and a controller. The locking device 3, fan 4, nozzle 6 and ultraviolet lamp 7 are all electrically connected to the control system. The locking device 3 includes a locking mechanism and a sensor.
[0022] In this solution, the power supply provides power to the locking device 3, fan 4, nozzle 6, and ultraviolet lamp 7. The sensor can detect the status of the helmet 2. When the sensor detects that the helmet 2 is inside the locking device 3, the locking mechanism will automatically fix the helmet 2. Then the sensor sends a signal to the controller, which controls a series of activations of the fan 4, nozzle 6, and ultraviolet lamp 7. The working principle of the locking device is existing technology and is widely used in the field of shared electric vehicles. It is commonly seen in models such as the Meituan 5th Generation M70 and Hello H4Pro. Its structure usually has a helmet compartment or basket set in the front of the vehicle body, which is equipped with an electronically controlled locking module, such as an electromagnetic lock or a motor-driven hook structure. When the user puts the helmet in the designated position, the system confirms whether the helmet is in place through an infrared sensor, pressure switch, or magnetic sensor. If the helmet is detected to be in place, the system sends a signal through the vehicle's main control board to drive the locking mechanism, so that the helmet is firmly locked in the compartment to prevent loss or human replacement. The whole process is completed synchronously with the user's return of the vehicle, without the need for additional manual operation, realizing an automated management mode of "locking upon placement".
[0023] The bottom of the truck bed 1 is hollowed out, and multiple photovoltaic panels 8 are connected to the outer end of the truck bed 1.
[0024] In this solution, the photovoltaic panel 8 can convert solar energy into power, which can effectively shorten the power charging cycle. The hollow design at the bottom of the fan 4 is conducive to ventilation and drainage inside the truck bed 1 and helmet 2.
