Description
1 TARIFF MOTORCYCLE HELMET CLEANING AND DISINFECTION MACHINE Technical Area This invention enables the rapid, effective, and hygienic cleaning and disinfection of motorcycle helmets. It relates to a machine that enables the removal of dirt, sweat, and bacteria that accumulate on the inner surface of the helmet. It is a system specifically designed to ensure its elimination. State of the Art Head injuries are among the most common injuries in motorcycle accidents. The helmet absorbs the impact of collisions between the head and hard surfaces, significantly reducing brain damage. It reduces the risk of injury. Furthermore, wearing a helmet draws attention not only to the driver but also to other drivers, making them more aware of the dangers. It creates a safe driving environment. More precisely, the habit of wearing a helmet It contributes to its formation. Indeed, according to the Highway Traffic Regulations; “For the driver and, if applicable, the passengers; It will not burn and will protect the head from heat, impact and external influences, and will not impair vision or hearing. 15 will not be, will be easy to attach and detach (European Economic Commission ECE R 22) (In accordance with regulations) must wear a protective headgear. Failure to possess a helmet and If it is not used properly, an administrative fine will be imposed and the equipment will be installed in accordance with the procedure. "The vehicle is not allowed to travel on the road without the necessary safety features." Motorcycle helmets become unhygienic after prolonged use, and 20 It harbors elements that pose health risks, such as bacteria, fungi, and bad odors. Current methods (manual cleaning, spray disinfectants, etc.) are ineffective, and users It is troublesome for them. For cleaning, deodorizing, disinfecting, and even cleaning motorcycle helmets. There are many well-known devices used in sterilization. The cleaning process primarily involves 25 Drying the inner lining of the helmet due to sweating, bacteria, germs and It involves the process of trapping and destroying, or at least rendering harmless, pathogens. This is achieved by blowing and managing the airflow inside the helmet, drying the helmet. and the use of tools for disinfecting and sanitizing the inside of the helmet is required. 2 Among the simple methods used today is to dry the inner lining of the helmet by placing something inside the helmet. Using hand-blown air and hand-applied disinfectant and deodorizers to disinfect the inside of the helmet. The methods involve applying or spraying. Some cleaning processes involve going inside the helmet. While some can be placed in a specific location, others require more detailed cleaning processes to perform tasks. It can be placed in a separate compartment or enclosure. 5 One example of an application related to this topic under the known state of the art is CN219230808. This is a Chinese utility model document. The invention described in the document concerns electric vehicle users. an electric helmet sterilization system that could alleviate concerns about helmet hygiene It aims to provide this system. This system includes a sterilization lamp; the sterilization lamp, The sterilization component used to sterilize the inside of an electric vehicle helmet, sterilization 10. a circuit connected to a device and arranged within a protective cover. control mechanism consisting of a card; protective enclosure outside the sterilization component. The component and protective casing are mounted onto it, replacing the electric car helmet. It consists of an induction component used to induce that it is not sitting properly. Another document is the European patent document numbered EP3993842B1. This document describes helmet 15 A carrying device (helmet case) for cleaning purposes is described. It is mostly personal. This portable design, suitable for various uses, can hold helmets of different sizes inside the helmet bag. It can be placed. These applications are not practical applications and lead to mass production which results in high costs. These are unsuitable applications that need improvement. Therefore, motorcycle helmets should be made more suitable in the future. To clean, deodorize, disinfect, and disinfect in a comfortable, safe, effective, and economical way. By using a separate box or container for disinfection, it is convenient, easily portable and the same There is a need for a system and device that provides convenience and security to the user. Purpose of the Invention The invention was created by drawing inspiration from existing situations and aims to solve the aforementioned problems. 25 The aim is to automate the helmet cleaning process and improve hygiene with this invention. A system that meets the standards is presented. The system described in the invention achieves high levels in a short time. It aims to protect user health by providing efficient cleaning and disinfection. The purpose of the invention is to clean motorcycle helmets quickly, effectively and hygienically, and The goal is to obtain a machine that enables disinfection. 30 3 The invention aims to remove dirt, sweat, and bacteria that accumulate on the inner surface of helmets using special technology. The aim is to obtain a system designed in this way. The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention are given in the figures below. Thanks to the detailed explanation written with references to the figures, it becomes clearer. This will be understood, and therefore the evaluation should also take these figures and detailed explanations into account. 5 It must be done by taking it.
