Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of helmet technology, and more specifically, to a helmet with an internal lens. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, to meet users' needs for protecting their eyes from wind, sand, ultraviolet rays, and other harmful elements, some cycling helmets are equipped with protective visors. However, most existing helmets with visors have the visor mounted on the outside of the outer shell. This design has several drawbacks: First, with the visor exposed, it is easily damaged by external impacts during transportation, storage, or accidental collisions, affecting normal use. Second, the external visor alters the helmet's original aerodynamic structure, increasing wind resistance during riding, reducing riding efficiency, and potentially generating additional wind noise, affecting the riding experience. Third, because the external visor takes up space, it is difficult to store when not in use, and it also disrupts the helmet's overall clean appearance, affecting aesthetics. In addition, the visor, being exposed for extended periods, is prone to accumulating dust, water stains, and other dirt, increasing the difficulty and frequency of cleaning and maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a helmet with an internally concealed lens, which solves the technical problems of existing helmets with exposed lenses, such as easy damage, high wind resistance, and unsightly appearance.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A helmet with an internal lens includes an outer shell, an inner liner disposed inside the outer shell, and a lens hinged inside the outer shell and located outside the inner liner; a storage cavity is formed between the outer shell and the inner liner for storing the lens and thus storing the lens inside the helmet.

[0006] Preferably, the lower edge of the lens extends outward from the inner liner to form a brim that facilitates the rotation of the lens.

[0007] Preferably, the brim is snapped onto the lower edge of the outer shell to prevent the lens from being completely inserted into the storage cavity.

[0008] Preferably, the rotatable angle between the lens and the housing is 0°-35°.

[0009] Preferably, an expansion mount for mounting peripheral devices is provided on the outer front side of the housing.

[0010] Preferably, both the rear end of the inner liner and the rear end of the outer shell are provided with a number of ventilation holes for heat dissipation.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the lining has several buffer holes arranged in a honeycomb pattern to improve the shock absorption effect.

[0012] This invention offers the following advantages: By concealing the lens between the outer shell and the inner liner, the lens's durability is enhanced, effectively preventing damage caused by external forces such as transportation and collisions, thus extending its lifespan. In terms of aerodynamics, the design retains the helmet's original streamlined appearance, reduces wind resistance, minimizes wind noise during riding, and improves riding efficiency and comfort. Aesthetically, the absence of an external lens makes the helmet's overall shape more concise and streamlined, satisfying users' aesthetic preferences. Regarding ease of maintenance, the concealed design reduces the likelihood of the lens being exposed to dust, water stains, and other contaminants, decreasing the frequency of cleaning and making use and maintenance easier.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] This utility model provides a helmet with an internally concealed lens, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes an outer shell 1, an inner liner 2 located inside the outer shell 1, and a lens 3 hinged inside the outer shell 1 and located outside the inner liner 2; a storage cavity is formed between the outer shell 1 and the inner liner 2 for storing the lens 3 and thus concealing the lens 3 inside the helmet.

[0021] Specifically, the outer shell 1 and the inner liner 2 are fixed together using conventional methods such as adhesive bonding, thermoforming, mechanical fixing (clamp / screw connection), and ultrasonic welding. The lens 3 is mounted on the inside of the outer shell 1 at both ends via conventional hinges 4, which can stably connect the lens 3 to the outer shell 1 at different angles. A storage cavity (not shown in the attached diagram) is located at the front of the helmet and is large enough to accommodate the entire lens 3. The lens 3 can be rotatably positioned inside or outside the storage cavity, allowing it to be concealed within the helmet as needed.

[0022] Therefore, this utility model, by concealing the lens 3 between the outer shell 1 and the inner liner 2, offers several advantages in terms of durability. The lens 3, hidden between the outer shell 1 and the inner liner 2, effectively avoids damage caused by external forces such as transportation and collisions, extending its service life. In terms of aerodynamics, the concealed lens 3 design preserves the helmet's original streamlined appearance, reduces wind resistance, decreases wind noise during riding, and improves riding efficiency and comfort. Aesthetically, the absence of an external lens makes the helmet's overall shape more concise and streamlined, satisfying users' aesthetic preferences. Regarding ease of maintenance, the concealed design reduces the likelihood of the lens 3 being exposed to dust, water stains, and other dirt, reducing cleaning frequency and making use and maintenance easier.

[0023] Furthermore, the lower edge of the lens 3 extends outward from the inner liner 2 to form a brim 31 that facilitates the rotation of the lens 3.

[0024] Furthermore, the brim 31 is movably engaged with the lower edge of the outer shell 1 to prevent the lens 3 from being completely inserted into the storage cavity.

[0025] Furthermore, the rotatable angle range between the lens 3 and the outer shell 1 is 0°-35°.

[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the lens 3 has an inverted V-shaped groove in the middle, and a brim 31 is formed on both sides of the inverted V-shaped groove. By pushing the brim 31 by hand, the lens 3 can be pushed into or pulled out of the storage cavity. When the brim 31 rotates upward to abut the lower edge of the outer shell 1, the brim 31 acts as a limit, and the lens 3 is maximally concealed inside the helmet. The angle between the lens 3 and the outer shell 1 is recorded as 0°. When the brim 31 rotates downward to the maximum stroke of the hinge 4, the lens 3 is maximally exposed inside the helmet. The angle between the lens 3 and the outer shell 1 is recorded as 35°.

[0027] Furthermore, the outer front side of the outer casing 1 is provided with an expansion socket 11 for installing peripheral devices.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the expansion mount 11 is installed on the outer front side of the housing 1 using existing methods such as snap-fit ​​structure and screw fixing. The expansion mount 11 provides an installation position for electronic peripheral devices such as action cameras, flashlights, and warning lights.

[0029] Furthermore, both the rear end of the inner liner 2 and the rear end of the outer shell 1 are provided with several ventilation holes for heat dissipation.

[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown, to improve wearing comfort, both the inner liner 2 and the outer shell 1 are provided with several ventilation holes for heat dissipation. The ventilation holes on the outer shell 1 are specifically ventilation holes 12, located at its rear end and / or left and right sides; the ventilation holes on the inner liner 1 are specifically ventilation holes 21, located at its rear end and / or left and right sides.

[0031] Furthermore, the top of the inner liner 2 has several buffer holes 22 arranged in a honeycomb pattern to improve the shock absorption effect.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, multiple buffer holes 22 are arranged in a honeycomb pattern around the circumference, which improves the shock absorption effect of the inner liner 2 on the one hand, and reduces the weight of the helmet on the other hand, thereby improving wearing comfort.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
