Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a helmet equipped with an air purification function and a control method thereof. In particular, the invention relates to a helmet equipped with an air purification function and a control method thereof, wherein air flow tubes of a certain shape are formed inside both rear ends of a helmet worn on the head by a road driver, and air flowing into the air flow tubes is filtered through a chin filtering member installed on the front of the helmet and introduced into the helmet, thereby filtering contaminated air that may enter the helmet regardless of wind conditions while driving on the road, so that only clean air always flows inside the helmet. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, users of various two-wheeled vehicles, including automobiles, racing cars, racing boats, scooters, and bicycles, wear helmets to protect their heads and air pollution while using these means of transportation. The general structural types of such helmets are primarily full-face and half-face helmets; among these, full-face helmets feature a chin guard that covers the user's jaw, whereas half-face helmets lack such a guard. Furthermore, the full-face helmet, with its chin guard structure, serves to provide safer protection for the wearer's head, whereas the half-face helmet is more suitable for human use as the wearer's organs, such as the mouth and nose, are not constrained by the chin guard.

[0003] However, according to recent air quality information released by the Seoul Metropolitan Government of South Korea regarding air pollution encountered while riding a motorcycle on the road while wearing a helmet as described above, prolonged exposure to low concentrations of nitrogen oxides, a factor in air pollution, can cause chronic poisoning. It is reported that this situation can lead to diseases such as bronchitis, emphysema, and gastrointestinal disorders, and can even cause side effects such as decreased blood sugar and increased hemoglobin.

[0004] Furthermore, fine dust (PM-10), including ultrafine dust (PM-2.5) among the above air pollution, refers to small dust particles with a diameter of 10㎛ or less. When these fine dust particles enter the human body, they are not sufficiently filtered out in the airways and penetrate into the alveoli, which can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and respiratory disease.

[0005] Therefore, users of means of transportation, including motorcycles, traveling on the aforementioned roads protect themselves from air pollution caused during such road travel by wearing a mask or a cloth filter component attached to the chin guard of a helmet.

[0006] Then, referring to FIG. 1, the structure of the conventional helmet described above is configured to include: a helmet member (70) made of a hard material, such as plastic, to house the head of a user of a means of transportation, including a two-wheeled vehicle, traveling on a road, and to protect the head; a transparent sun visor (72) that protects the front of the wearer by moving up and down on the front of the helmet member (70) through gear members (71) formed on both sides of the helmet member (70); and a mask filter member (74) located at the bottom of the sun visor (72) and made of a mask or fabric material, which is fixed by hanging it on the wearer's ear area (73) and then covers the wearer's nose and mouth area.

[0007] Meanwhile, regarding the method of using a conventional helmet as described above, first, before driving on the road, the user of a means of transportation, including a motorcycle, fixes the mask filter member (74) of the helmet (75) to the ear area (73) and then wears it so as to cover the area around the wearer's nose and mouth. Then, the wearer pushes their head into the inside of the helmet member (70) to wear it. In addition, after wearing the helmet member (70) as described above, depending on the condition of the road driving or the wearer's needs, the sun visor (72) is lowered to cover the wearer's front, or the sun visor (72) is kept open from the front. At this time, when the wearer has fully worn the helmet (75) according to the prescribed procedure as described above, the means of transportation, including a motorcycle, is driven to move to a desired destination.

[0008] However, the aforementioned conventional helmet can protect the wearer's head to some extent from sudden accidents when the helmet is worn on the user's head and the sun visor is lowered to the front of the helmet, and can also protect the wearer to some extent from objects that may enter from the wind blowing from the front because the sun visor is lowered to the front of the helmet. However, if the road conditions are poor or contaminated, the contaminated air enters directly into the helmet, causing significant harm to the wearer's health. Furthermore, even if the helmet has a mask filter, it is impossible to effectively filter the contaminated air entering from the wind because the material is composed of simple fabric, and since the helmet is not sealed, the contaminated air from the wind enters through the parts excluding the mask filter. Consequently, the wearer is inevitably exposed to the contaminated air for a long time, causing many problems with the effectiveness of the helmet.

[0062] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the relevant drawings.

[0063] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a helmet equipped with an air purification function according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram specifically illustrating a part of the interior of a helmet equipped with an air purification function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0064] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, a helmet (1) equipped with an air purification function according to an embodiment of the present invention first comprises: a helmet member (3) made of a material with a rigid inner and outer surface to protect the head of a wearer of a means of transportation (2), including a two-wheeled vehicle traveling on a road, by placing the head inside;

[0065] A transparent sun visor (5) that protects the front of the wearer by moving up and down on the front of the helmet member (3) through gear members (4) formed symmetrically on each of the outer sides of the helmet member (3);

[0066] An air intake member (8) formed with a plurality of holes (7) to allow air to be sucked into the middle of the rear upper part (6) of the helmet member (3);

[0067] An air intake pipe member (9) installed symmetrically on each of the inner sides of the helmet member (3) to be connected to the air intake member (8) and to draw in external air of the helmet (1);

[0068] It is configured to include a chin protection member (12) located at the bottom of the sun visor (5), with storage members (10) on both sides connected to a detachable member (11) formed on the helmet member (3) to surround the wearer's nose and mouth, and which blocks external air entering through a crosswind when in close contact with the bottom of the sun visor (5).

[0069] And here, the helmet (1) is characterized by having a curved overall shape with the rear upper part (6) protruding to the left and right as shown in FIG. 3.

[0070] At this time, the rear upper part (6) of the helmet (1) is formed in a curved shape as described above to induce the Coanda effect by utilizing the headwind phenomenon that occurs while driving, and at the same time, to form a low-pressure area of ​​air in the rear part of the helmet (1). Therefore, forming the rear upper part (6) of the helmet (1) in a curved shape serves to effectively push the headwind backward, and a function is created that allows the maximum air intake into the interior of the helmet (1) to be secured.

[0071] Next, a control method of an embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be explained.

[0072] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a flowchart showing a control method for a helmet equipped with an air purification function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0073] Referring to FIG. 4, the control method of a helmet equipped with an air purification function according to the present invention comprises: a first step (S101) of first pushing the head of a wearer of a means of transportation, including a two-wheeled vehicle traveling on a road, into the interior of a helmet member to wear the helmet, lowering the sun visor so that it comes into contact with a chin protection member, and pushing the storage member of the chin protection member into a detachable member formed on the helmet member to insert and combine them;

[0074] The method comprises a second step (S102) in which, when a means of transport including a two-wheeled vehicle travels on a road at a constant speed during the first step (S101), low-pressure air is introduced into the interior through an air intake member formed in the middle of the upper rear portion of the helmet member, and external air is supplied into the interior of the helmet through air intake pipe members formed on each of the interior sides of the helmet member.

[0075] In other words, before driving a means of transportation (2), including a two-wheeled vehicle, on the road, the wearer first puts on the helmet (1) by pushing their head into the inside of the helmet member (3) to protect their head and breathe clean air, and lowers the sun visor (5) so that it comes into contact with the chin protection member (12). Then, from the bottom of the helmet (1), the storage member (11) of the chin protection member (12) is pushed into the detachable member (10) formed on the helmet member (3) to insert and connect them.

[0076] At this time, when the means of transport (2), including the above-mentioned two-wheeled vehicle, travels on the road at a constant speed, low pressure is formed in the middle of the rear upper part (6) of the helmet member (3) of the helmet (1) because there is no crosswind. Then, in such a low-pressure state, low-pressure air is introduced into the interior through the air intake member (8) formed in the rear upper part (6), and the low-pressure air is supplied into the interior of the helmet (1) through the air intake pipe members (9) formed on each side of the interior of the helmet member (3).

[0077] Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper rear portion (6) of the helmet (1) is formed in a curved shape with the upper rear portion protruding to the left and right. The reason the upper rear portion (6) of the helmet (1) is formed in a curved shape as described above is to induce the Coanda effect by utilizing the headwind phenomenon that occurs while driving, and at the same time, to form a low-pressure area of ​​air in the rear portion of the helmet (1). Therefore, forming the upper rear portion (6) of the helmet (1) in a curved shape serves to effectively push the headwind backward, and a function is created that allows the maximum air intake into the interior of the helmet (1).

[0078] And as described above, when the upper rear part (6) of the helmet (1) is formed in a curved shape and an air intake member (8) is formed in the middle thereof, when air is sucked into the front of the helmet (1), the amount of air intake cannot be controlled due to high-pressure headwinds, whereas the rear part of the helmet (1) does not have headwinds compared to the front part of the helmet (1), so it maintains a low-pressure state, allowing air to be sucked in stably.

[0079] In addition, when the air intake pipe member (9) is installed symmetrically on each side of the interior of the helmet member (3) to be connected to the air intake member (8), the diameter (or internal cross-sectional area) of the pipe is formed to gradually increase toward the inner end portion than the portion where the air intake member (8) is in contact with and connected, in order to control the amount of air intake, the Bernoulli principle is applied. At this time, if the air intake member (8) is formed to gradually increase toward the inner end portion than the portion where the air intake member (8) is in contact with and connected as described above, a sufficient amount of air can be delivered into the interior of the helmet (1) even with a small cross-sectional area according to the Bernoulli principle, making it very effective for controlling the amount of air intake.

[0081] Next, a helmet equipped with an air purification function according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0082] FIG. 5 (ac) is an explanatory diagram illustrating a helmet equipped with an air purification function according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a chin filtering member of a helmet equipped with an air purification function according to another embodiment of the present invention in more detail.

[0083] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, a helmet equipped with an air purification function according to an embodiment of the present invention first comprises: a helmet member (3) made of a material that is rigid on the inside and outside to protect the head of a wearer of a means of transportation (2), including a two-wheeled vehicle traveling on a road, by receiving the head inside;

[0084] A transparent sun visor (5) that protects the front of the wearer by moving up and down on the front of the helmet member (3) through gear members (4) formed symmetrically on each of the outer sides of the helmet member (3);

[0085] An air intake member (8) formed with a plurality of holes (7) to allow air to be sucked into the middle of the rear upper part (6) of the helmet member (3);

[0086] An air intake pipe member (9) installed symmetrically on each of the inner sides of the helmet member (3) to be connected to the air intake member (8) and to draw in external air of the helmet (1);

[0087] The helmet member (3) is configured to include a detachable member (11) formed on the helmet member (3), which is inserted and coupled to the storage member (10) and fixed, and a chin filtering member (13) that filters or purifies air flowing in from the air inlet pipe member (9) and supplies it to the inside of the helmet (1).

[0088] And here, the helmet (1) is characterized by having a curved overall shape with the rear upper part (6) protruding to the left and right as shown in (ac) of FIG. 5.

[0089] At this time, the rear upper part (6) of the helmet (1) is formed in a curved shape as described above to induce the Coanda effect by utilizing the headwind phenomenon that occurs while driving, and at the same time, to form a low-pressure area of ​​air in the rear part of the helmet (1). Therefore, forming the rear upper part (6) of the helmet (1) in a curved shape serves to effectively push the headwind backward, and a function is created that allows the maximum air intake into the interior of the helmet (1) to be secured.

[0091] In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the above jaw filtering member (13) has an air intake port (14) formed at each of its two ends, which is in contact with the air intake pipe member (9) to draw air introduced from the air intake pipe member (9) into the interior.

[0092] Furthermore, the jaw filtering member (13) is formed to have a filtering member (15) built in, which is formed at a position in contact with the air intake (14) and can filter or purify the air flowing into the air intake (14). In addition, a fan motor member (16) is installed in the jaw filtering member (13) between the filtering members (15) formed on each side inside, so as to control the flow of air flowing in through each filtering member (15) by a fan.

[0093] Here, the fan motor member (16) comprises a fan member (17) that controls the flow of incoming air by a fan, an air inlet member (18) formed in the shape of a plurality of holes at the inner center of the chin filtering member (13) to introduce the air flowing through the fan member (17) into the interior of the helmet (1), a fan motor (19) that drives the fan member (17), a battery (21) that supplies operating power to the fan motor (19), a sensor (22) installed on one side of the front of the chin filtering member (13) that detects the current speed of the exercise means (2) and transmits it to a control drive switch (20), and when the current speed of the exercise means (2) measured by the sensor (22) drops below a set speed, the drive of the fan motor (19) is controlled in proportion to the set speed, and the drive of the fan motor (19) is forcibly controlled by the on / off of an external button, and a control chip is built in It is configured to include a control drive switch (20).

[0094] Meanwhile, the chin filtering member (13) is provided with a detachable cover member (23) so that the fan motor member (16) can be attached or detached on one side of the body. Additionally, the filtering member (15) can be replaced by turning on or off the lid member (24) formed on one side of the chin filtering member (13) where the filtering member (15) is located. Furthermore, the chin filtering member (13) has a coupling groove (25) formed so that when the sun visor (5) comes down to the upper part of the body and comes into close contact, the lower part of the sun visor (5) is completely retracted to prevent air from entering the interior of the helmet (1).

[0095] In addition, the filtering member (15) further includes a filter that performs ultraviolet sterilization when filtering the inhaled air.

[0096] Next, a control method for embodiments of the present invention configured as described above will be explained.

[0097] FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a flowchart showing a control method for a helmet equipped with an air purification function according to the present invention.

[0098] Referring to FIG. 7, the control method of a helmet equipped with an air purification function according to the present invention comprises a first step (S1) of first pushing the head of a wearer of a means of transportation, including a two-wheeled vehicle traveling on a road, into the interior of a helmet member to wear the helmet, lowering the sun visor to connect it to a connecting groove, pushing the storage member of a chin filtering member into a detachable member formed in the helmet member to insert and connect it, and turning on the control drive switch of the chin filtering member to drive a fan motor member;

[0099] A second step (S2) in which, when a means of transport including a two-wheeled vehicle travels on a road at a constant speed during the first step (S1), low-pressure air is introduced into the interior through an air intake member formed in the middle of the upper rear part of the helmet member, and air is supplied to a fan motor member provided in a jaw filtering member through air intake pipe members formed on each of the interior sides of the helmet member;

[0100] The apparatus comprises a third step (S3) in which, during the second step (S2), external air is supplied to the fan motor member through the air inlet pipe member, and the incoming air passes through the air intake port and flows into the filtering member, and the incoming air is filtered or purified by the filtering member, and then is introduced into the interior of the helmet, which was in a sealed state, via a fan member that is rotated by the filtered air.

[0101] And the above third step (S3) further includes a clean air stabilization supply step in which a control drive switch with a built-in control chip controls the operation of the fan motor in proportion to the set speed when the current speed of the moving means measured by the sensor drops below the set speed, thereby forcibly increasing the rotational speed of the fan member to control a certain amount of air to flow into the interior of the helmet.

[0102] In addition, the third step (S3) further includes a UV sterilization execution step in which UV sterilization is performed when the filtering member filters or purifies the incoming air.

[0104] In other words, the control method of the helmet equipped with an air purification function according to the present invention first involves the user of a means of transportation (2), including a two-wheeled vehicle, driving on a road, and the wearer of the means of transportation (2), including a two-wheeled vehicle driving on the road, putting their head into the inside of the helmet member (3) to wear the helmet (1) in order to protect their head and respiratory system, as shown in FIG. 8. Then, the sun visor (5) located at the top of the helmet (1) is lowered and coupled to the coupling groove (25) of the chin filtering member (13), and the storage member (10) of the chin filtering member (13) is pushed into the detachable member (11) formed in the helmet member (3) to be inserted and coupled. At this time, when the sun visor (5) is connected to the coupling groove (25) of the chin filtering member (13) as described above and the storage member (10) of the chin filtering member (13) is connected to the detachable member (11) formed on the helmet member (3), the interior of the helmet (1) is almost completely blocked from the outside air, so that contaminated outside air cannot enter the interior of the helmet (1).

[0105] Meanwhile, when the helmet (1) is worn as described above, the wearer turns on the control drive switch (20) of the chin filtering member (13) to drive the fan motor member (16). Then, the sensor (22) installed on one side of the front of the chin filtering member (13) detects the current speed of the motion means (2) and transmits it to the control drive switch (20).

[0106] At this time, when the means of transport (2), including the above-mentioned two-wheeled vehicle, travels on the road at a certain speed, low-pressure air is introduced into the interior through the air intake member (8) formed in the middle of the rear upper part (6) of the helmet member (3) of the above-mentioned helmet (1). The air introduced in this manner is then supplied to the fan motor member (16) provided in the chin filtering member (13) through the air intake pipe members (9) formed on each side of the interior of the helmet member (3). Additionally, when external air is supplied to the fan motor member (16) through the air intake pipe members (9), the incoming air passes through the air intake (14) and flows into the filtering member (15). The incoming air is filtered or purified by the filtering member (15), and then passes through the fan member (17), which is rotated by the filtered air, and is introduced into the interior of the helmet (1) which was in a sealed state.

[0107] The process of air intake described above is explained in more detail as follows. That is, when the upper rear portion (6) of the helmet (1) is formed in a curved shape as described above and an air intake member (8) is formed in the middle thereof, the amount of air intake cannot be controlled due to high-pressure headwinds when air is drawn in through the front of the helmet (1). In contrast, the rear portion of the helmet (1) does not have headwinds compared to the front portion of the helmet (1), so it maintains a low-pressure state, allowing air to be drawn in stably.

[0108] In addition, when the air intake pipe member (9) is installed symmetrically on each side of the interior of the helmet member (3) to be connected to the air intake member (8), the diameter (or internal cross-sectional area) of the pipe is formed to gradually increase toward the inner end portion compared to the portion where the air intake member (8) is in contact with and connected, in order to control the amount of air intake, the Bernoulli principle is applied. Therefore, if the air intake member (8) is formed to gradually increase toward the inner end portion compared to the portion where the air intake member (8) is in contact with and connected as described above, a sufficient amount of air can be delivered into the interior of the helmet (1) even with a small cross-sectional area according to the Bernoulli principle, making it very effective for controlling the amount of air intake.

[0109] Meanwhile, the air sucked in via the air inlet pipe member (9) as described above flows into the filtering member (15) through the air intake port (14) of the jaw filtering member (13) which is in contact with the air inlet pipe member (9), is filtered or purified, and then flows into the fan member (17) of the fan motor member (16). Here, as another embodiment of the filtering or air purification process, UV sterilization (ultraviolet sterilization) can be performed when the filtering member (15) filters or purifies the incoming air.

[0110] At this time, when the means of transport (2), including the two-wheeled vehicle, is traveling at a speed above a certain speed, the fan member (17) rotates naturally without driving the fan motor (19) because the amount of air entering is greater than the set amount of air, and the air filtered or purified by the filtering member (15) is introduced into the interior of the helmet (1) through the air inlet member (18) formed in the shape of a plurality of holes in the inner center of the jaw filtering member (13), so the wearer of the helmet (1) can always inhale clean air even while driving on the road.

[0111] Meanwhile, during the above process, the control drive switch (20) controls the fan motor (19) so that the rotational speed of the fan member (17) is forcibly increased in proportion to the set speed when the current speed of the driving means (2) measured by the sensor (22) drops below the set speed, for example, when the driving speed is significantly reduced due to a blocked road, thereby controlling the continuous inflow of a certain amount of filtered or air-purified air into the helmet (1).

[0112] Of course, depending on the choice of the wearer, in situations where the air pollution level is relatively low, such as on a rural road, the sun visor (5) may be raised upward and the chin filtering member (13) removed before driving.

[0113] Meanwhile, when the detachable cover member (23) formed on one side of the body of the above-mentioned jaw filtering member (13) is opened by a detachable button (not shown), the fan motor member (16) can be detached, allowing the internal parts, including the battery (21), to be replaced. Additionally, the filtering member (15) can be replaced when the lid member (24) formed on one side of the above-mentioned jaw filtering member (13) is opened by a detachable button (not shown).

[0115] As such, according to the present invention, first, protection from air pollution is provided. The helmet according to the present invention effectively filters out fine dust and harmful substances generated during driving, thereby protecting the user's respiratory health. Since fine dust and harmful substances can cause respiratory diseases, blocking them allows for the supply of clean and healthy air even while driving. Second, the helmet according to the present invention provides a comfortable environment while driving. It maintains a constant amount of fresh air despite headwinds or various weather conditions, providing the user with a comfortable environment while driving. In other words, it provides a stable driving experience while minimizing unpleasant sensations caused by headwinds or environmental factors. Third, it enables the formation of healthy lifestyle habits. By purifying the air during driving, the helmet according to the present invention helps users form healthy lifestyle habits and strengthens the determination to prevent exposure to air pollution, which activities such as driving cars or riding motorcycles often expose individuals to. Fourth, it promotes health through continuous improvement. The helmet according to the present invention involves technological innovation and research efforts, enabling the creation of a product that becomes more efficient and performs better over time. Fifth, it enables the fulfillment of environmental protection and social responsibility. The helmet according to the present invention not only helps reduce air pollution but also fulfills social responsibility by creating a minimal impact on the surrounding environment. By doing so, it serves as one method to promote positive development for sustainable urban living and a clean air environment. In conclusion, the helmet according to the present invention can bring about expected benefits in various aspects, such as health, comfort, environmental protection, and social responsibility. Through this, road users can experience a healthier and more pleasant driving environment and play an important role in urban and social development.
