Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of helmet liner technology, specifically relating to a helmet liner with easy-to-replace snap buckles. Background Technology
[0002] The helmet liner is a buffer layer located between the helmet shell and the head. It is usually made of high-performance foam materials such as EPS and EPP, which can quickly absorb and disperse impact energy to reduce head injury; at the same time, it provides a close fit, sweat absorption and breathability to improve wearing comfort.
[0003] Currently, most helmet liners on the market connect to the helmet shell by directly sewing or gluing the buckles to the liner itself. This structure has a significant drawback: when the buckles are damaged due to long-term use, friction, or accidental pulling, replacement is extremely inconvenient. Users often need to disassemble the liner or even discard the entire liner for replacement, which not only greatly increases usage and maintenance costs but also causes irreversible damage to the liner itself, severely impacting the helmet's reusability and cost-effectiveness. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a solution that allows for quick and independent replacement of buckles and other connectors without damaging the liner itself.
[0004] This invention aims to solve or at least alleviate the problem of difficult snap fastener replacement by providing a helmet liner with easily replaceable snap fasteners. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The terms “comprising,” “including,” etc., as used herein indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.
[0028] All terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art, unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein are to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the context of this specification, and not in an idealized or overly rigid way.
[0029] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-7 Provided is a helmet liner with easy-to-replace snaps, comprising: a pad 1, a sponge strip 2 provided at the rear edge of the pad 1, a plastic plate 3 provided on the outer side of the sponge strip 2, and two female buckles 4 installed on the plastic plate 3, both of which can match the female buckle inside the helmet shell.
[0030] By setting the sub-buckle 4 on an independent plastic plate 3 and connecting it to the pad 1 via a sponge strip 2, the modular and independent replacement of the sub-buckle 4 is achieved, avoiding damage to the pad 1 body during replacement and significantly reducing maintenance costs.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the pad 1 is further provided with an opening 5, and a fixing strap 7 is provided in the opening 5. A cushioning pad 6 is detachably provided on the fixing strap 7. The cooperation between the opening 5 and the fixing strap 7 provides a stable mounting base for the cushioning pad 6 and allows the cushioning pad 6 to be disassembled independently, making it convenient for users to clean or replace it separately, thus improving the hygiene and maintainability of the product.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the detachable design is a snap-fit mechanism. A mushroom-shaped snap-fit 9 is mounted on the upper surface of the fixing strap 7. The mushroom-shaped snap-fit 9 has an elastic connecting block 91, and a pressing block 92 is provided on the side of the elastic connecting block 91. A plastic slot 8 is provided on the bottom surface of the buffer pad 6. The inner side of the plastic slot 8 has a wide portion 81 and a narrow portion 82. The diameter of the mushroom-shaped snap-fit 9 is larger than the narrow portion 82 and smaller than the wide portion 81. When the pressing block 92 is pressed, the elastic connecting block 91 can bend. The side-pressing operation of the mushroom-shaped snap-fit 9 and the combination of the wide and narrow portions of the plastic slot 8 make the installation and removal of the buffer pad 6 very effortless and intuitive. Furthermore, compared to traditional installation methods, the snap-fit is firm and reliable, greatly improving ease of use and connection stability.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, multiple openings 5 are provided. Multiple openings 5 can be used to install multiple cushioning pads 6, allowing users to add, remove, or adjust the cushioning pads 6 at different locations according to their individual needs, thus enabling targeted installation of cushioning pads 6 on important areas of the head.
[0034] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, multiple plastic slots 8 and mushroom-head buckles 9 are provided. Providing multiple connection points for a single buffer pad 6 significantly enhances the connection strength between the buffer pad 6 and the fixing strap 7, preventing single-point failure or warping during impact or daily use, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the connection.
[0035] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the pad 1 is further provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 12. The plurality of ventilation holes 12 can effectively promote the circulation of air inside the pad 1 with the external environment, accelerate the evaporation of sweat, thereby greatly improving the stuffiness during wearing and enhancing the comfort of wearing for a long time.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the pad 1 has a textured surface 11 on its front side, and a hook surface is provided inside the helmet shell. The textured surface 11 can be bonded to the hook surface. The bonding of the textured surface 11 to the hook surface inside the shell provides an auxiliary fixing method for the pad 1, in addition to the buckle 4, enhancing the overall stability of the connection between the inner liner and the shell, and better preventing the inner liner from shifting during use, thus ensuring the protective effect.
[0037] Working principle: The back of the pad 1 is connected to the plastic plate 3 via a sponge strip 2, and the buckle 4 is installed on the plastic plate 3. When the inner liner needs to be fixed to the helmet shell, simply align and press the buckle 4 with the female buckle inside the shell. When the buckle 4 needs to be replaced, the plastic plate 3 module can be replaced directly, avoiding disassembly and damage to the pad 1. In addition, the cushioning pad 6 is connected to the mushroom head buckle 9 fixed on the fixing strap 7 via the plastic slot 8 at its bottom. During installation, align the plastic slot 8 with the mushroom head buckle 9 and press down. The mushroom head buckle 9 undergoes a slight deformation, passes through the narrow part 82, and locks itself in the wide part 81 after rebounding. During disassembly, press the exposed pressing block 92 on the side, causing the elastic connecting block 91 to bend. The angle of the mushroom head buckle 9 changes, and the side retracts from the wide part 81 into the narrow part 82, allowing the cushioning pad 6 to be removed upwards for easy replacement or cleaning.
[0038] In summary, the helmet liner structure provided by this utility model has significant advantages. Firstly, it greatly improves the replaceability of key vulnerable components such as buckles. Through modular design, the buckles are installed on independent plastic plates, making buckle replacement exceptionally simple and quick, without touching or damaging the liner itself, greatly extending the overall service life of the liner and reducing user maintenance costs. Secondly, it innovatively adds a cushioning pad for further protection of important areas. A side-press mushroom-shaped buckle and plastic slot structure enable the removable cushioning pad. This structure is intuitive to unlock, effortless to operate, and reliable in connection, allowing users to clean or replace the cushioning pad at any time, greatly improving product hygiene and user experience. Finally, the combination of Velcro and ventilation holes ensures a secure connection between the liner and the outer shell while significantly improving breathability and comfort during wear. Overall, this utility model effectively solves the pain point of inconvenient maintenance of traditional liner structures. Its ingenious overall structural design and strong practicality make it highly valuable for market promotion.
