Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of helmet visor technology, and in particular to a visor for mounting on a night vision device bracket. Background Technology
[0002] Bulletproof helmets typically have a first mounting section and a second mounting section on the front and two sides, respectively. The first mounting section is used to mount equipment such as headlamps, cameras, and night vision devices, while the second mounting section is shaped like a sliding rail for sliding mounting equipment such as face shields and gas masks. To improve the bulletproof performance of bulletproof helmets, a helmet collar has been designed. The helmet collar is mounted on the helmet, and the first and second mounting sections, originally located on the helmet, are moved to the helmet collar. For example, a helmet bracket disclosed in Chinese patent application number CN2015103464943 is such a helmet collar. In order to cooperate with the second mounting section on the helmet or helmet collar and slide onto it, the face shield must have brackets on both sides, and pulleys on the brackets. This complicates the face shield structure, increases its weight, and makes installation and removal cumbersome. In addition, once the face shield is installed, its position is restricted and cannot be adjusted forward, backward, up, or down, causing many inconveniences for users. Night vision goggles are typically mounted onto the first mounting part of a helmet or helmet visor via a night vision goggle bracket. The night vision goggle and bracket are detachably connected via a plug-in joint. The bracket has a rotation and sliding mechanism, allowing the night vision goggle to rotate and move back and forth. If a face shield could also be mounted onto the night vision goggle bracket, which is then mounted onto the first mounting part of the helmet or helmet visor, the face shield could be mounted on the helmet or helmet visor and could rotate and move back and forth, making it more convenient to use. This would also simplify the face shield structure and reduce weight. Therefore, designing a face shield that can be mounted onto a night vision goggle bracket is essential. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the problems of complex structure, heavy weight, and inconvenience in use of the aforementioned helmet visors, this invention proposes a visor for mounting on a night vision device bracket, which simplifies the visor structure, reduces weight, and improves ease of use.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a mask for mounting on a night vision device bracket, comprising a mask body, characterized in that a connector is installed at the middle of the mask body in the left-right direction near the upper edge, the connector comprising a mounting plate and a insert plate, the mounting plate being used to connect with the mask body, the insert plate having a shape that mates with a slot on the night vision device bracket, and the insert plate having a groove on its outer wall surface away from the mounting plate, the groove being used to form a snap-fit connection with a latching tongue on the night vision device bracket.
[0005] The visor provided by this utility model for mounting on a night vision device bracket has a connector installed on the visor body. The connector's insert plate has a structure that can be installed and mated with the night vision device bracket, allowing the visor body to be mounted onto the night vision device bracket, which in turn mounts it onto a helmet or helmet visor. The connector structure is much simpler than existing sliding visor mounting structures, simplifying the structure and reducing weight. Moreover, the connector and the night vision device bracket are connected by a detachable snap-fit, making installation and disassembly very convenient. Furthermore, the existing forward and backward movement and rotation structure of the night vision device bracket can be used to allow the visor body to move forward and backward and rotate up and down relative to the helmet, improving the visor's ease of use and comfort.

[0007] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0008] See Figure 1 The mask for mounting on a night vision device includes a mask body 1 and a connector 2. The mask body 1 adopts the shape and material of a typical helmet mask, and has two through holes in the middle of its left and right sides near the upper edge for connection with the connector 2.
[0009] See Figures 2 to 5 The connector 2 includes a mounting plate 21 and a insert plate 22. The mounting plate 21, generally square in shape, is used to connect to the mask body 1. It has two through holes, the positions and diameters of which are adapted to the two through holes on the mask body 1. The mounting plate 21 is stacked on the mask body 1, with the through holes on the mounting plate 21 aligned with those on the mask body 1. Screws are passed through the through holes, and then nuts are tightened to install the mounting plate 21 and the mask body 1 together. After installation, as shown... Figure 1As shown. The mounting plate 21 has a curved surface 211, the shape of which is adapted to the shape of the mask body 1. When the connector 2 is installed, the curved surface 211 abuts against the mask body 1, and can completely fit against the mask body 1, making the mounting plate 21 more secure. The curved surface 211 is set on the surface of the mounting plate 21 near the insert plate 22, and the insert plate 22 abuts against the mask body 1. The connector 2 and the mask body 1 are mutually limited and will not rotate relative to each other, making the installation more secure.
[0010] A night vision device mount typically consists of a slot and a latching tongue that fits into the slot. The night vision device has a mounting plate and a slot. The mounting plate is inserted into the slot of the night vision device mount, and the latching tongue on the night vision device mount is inserted into the slot of the night vision device, thus mounting the night vision device onto the mount. To remove the night vision device from the mount, simply release the latching tongue from the slot and pull out the mounting plate of the night vision device. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The image shows a commonly used night vision device bracket 3. The night vision device bracket 3 includes a V-shaped slot 31, and a latching tongue 32 is disposed in the slot 31 and can rotate around the pivot 33.
[0011] Mounting plate 21 and insert plate 22 are connected together at their ends, preferably forming an angle of 80 to 100 degrees. In this embodiment, mounting plate 21 and insert plate 22 are integrally formed. Insert plate 22 has a shape that mates with the slot of the night vision device bracket. Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to mate with the V-shaped slot 31 of the night vision device bracket 3 in the figure, insert plate 22 is flat, with a symmetrical structure, and an inverted triangular shape that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The upper part with a larger area is connected to mounting plate 21. Insert plate 22 has a left cut and a right cut on the inner wall surface near mounting plate 21. The left cut extends along the left edge of the insert plate, and the right cut extends along the right edge of the insert plate, forming a thin cut edge 221 with a thinner thickness. Insert plate 22 has a slot 222 on the outer wall surface away from mounting plate 21. The slot 222 is recessed inward from the outer wall surface of insert plate 22 and is used to form a snap-fit connection with the latching tongue 32 on the night vision device bracket 3. The insert plate in this example is a structure that cooperates with the night vision device bracket 3 shown in the figure. Since the night vision device bracket is not limited to the structure shown in the figure, the insert plate of this utility model can also be other shapes and structural forms that cooperate with other night vision device brackets.
[0012] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 When connector 2 is installed onto night vision device bracket 3, insert plate 22 into slot 31 of night vision device bracket 3 along direction A in the figure. The two thin cut edges 221 are locked in slot 31, preventing insert plate 22 from moving back and forth in the direction perpendicular to the paper in the figure. After insert plate 22 is fully inserted (as shown in the figure), Figure 7As shown in the diagram, the latching tongue 32 rotates and inserts into the slot 222 of the insert plate 22. The insert plate 22 cannot move relative to the night vision device bracket 3 in the pull-out direction (opposite to direction A in the diagram). In the insertion direction (direction A in the diagram), due to the V-shaped structure of the slot 31, the shape restricts the downward movement of the insert plate 22. Thus, the insert plate 22 is restricted relative to the night vision device bracket 3 in the front-back, left-right, and up-down directions in the diagram, firmly installing the insert plate 22 onto the night vision device bracket 3. When it is necessary to remove the insert plate 22 from the night vision device bracket 3, simply rotate the latching tongue 32 to make it rotate out of the slot 222 of the insert plate 22, and then pull out the insert plate 22.
[0013] See Figures 8A to 8C First, the night vision goggle bracket 3 is installed onto the helmet. Then, the insert plate of the connector 2 is installed onto the night vision goggle bracket 3, allowing the face mask body 1 to be installed onto the helmet. Utilizing the rotating structure inherent in the night vision goggle bracket, the face mask body 1 can rotate relative to the helmet to... Figure 8A The bottom position shown, or rotated to such a position Figure 8B The top position shown can also be rotated to any position between the bottom and top positions. When the mask's blocking function is needed, the mask body can be rotated down; when the blocking function is not needed, the mask body can be rotated up, offering great flexibility to meet various usage needs. Utilizing the sliding structure inherent in the night vision goggle bracket, the mask body 1 can move back and forth relative to the helmet. Figure 8C The mask body in the middle is 1 ratio Figure 8A The mask body 1 is closer to the wearer's face. By moving the mask body back and forth, the distance between the mask body and the wearer's face can be adjusted, making it more comfortable to wear.
[0014] The visor provided by this utility model for mounting on a night vision device bracket has a connector installed on the visor body. The connector's insert plate has a structure that can be installed and mated with the night vision device bracket, allowing the visor body to be mounted onto the night vision device bracket, which in turn mounts it onto a helmet or helmet visor. The connector structure is much simpler than existing sliding visor mounting structures, simplifying the structure and reducing weight. Moreover, the connector and the night vision device bracket are connected by a detachable snap-fit, making installation and disassembly very convenient. Furthermore, the existing forward and backward movement and rotation structure of the night vision device bracket can be used to allow the visor body to move forward and backward and rotate up and down relative to the helmet, improving the visor's ease of use and comfort.
