Description

Motorcycle helmet This invention relates to the technical field of motorcycle helmets, and more particularly to a motorcycle helmet that allows the user to drink coffee. In recent years, with the opening up of motorcycle rights, more and more people enjoy traveling and sightseeing on motorcycles, which has become a trend. Among them, when riders reach a fixed point or take a rest stop, they often like to drink a cup of coffee to relax both their mind and body. However, not all rest stops or roadside stops have coffee shops, which may lead to the inconvenience of not being able to buy coffee. Alternatively, if users bring their own portable coffee makers, they often need to heat water and brew coffee at rest stops or roadside stops. These procedures waste a lot of users' time and are clearly not convenient or immediate. In summary, the inventors of this invention conceived and designed a motorcycle helmet in order to improve upon the shortcomings of conventional technology and thereby enhance its industrial application. The purpose of this invention is to provide a motorcycle helmet to improve the aforementioned problems. To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a motorcycle helmet comprising a helmet body, a liquid storage unit, a heating circuit, a pump unit, and a thin-film solar panel unit. The helmet body has a head-wearing space and a fitting space. The head-wearing space corresponds to the user's head position. The fitting space is located on the side of the helmet body. The liquid storage unit is detachably disposed within the fitting space, corresponding to the fitting space. The liquid storage unit is configured to store water or coffee and has two circuit interfaces. The heating circuit is located at the top of the helmet body, and a first end and a second end of the heating circuit are connected to the two circuit interfaces of the liquid storage unit. The pump unit is located at the first end. The pump unit is configured to circulate the water or coffee in the liquid storage unit and the heating circuit. The thin-film solar panel unit is located at the top of the helmet body. The thin-film solar panel unit generates electrical energy through photoelectric rotation and supplies the electrical energy required for the operation of the various components of the motorcycle helmet. Preferably, the motorcycle helmet includes a coffee supply unit disposed on the helmet body and optionally connected to the heating circuit. Preferably, the motorcycle helmet includes a branch circuit; the two ends of the branch circuit are respectively connected to the second end of the heating circuit. The coffee supply unit is disposed between the two ends of the branch circuit, and one end of the branch circuit is connected to the second end of the heating circuit via a three-way solenoid valve. The three-way solenoid valve is configured to allow water to flow directly from the second end to the first end, or to allow water to flow from the branch circuit to the first end. Preferably, the motorcycle helmet includes a temperature sensor and a microcontroller. The temperature sensor senses the temperature of the water to generate a temperature signal. The microcontroller receives the temperature signal and, when it determines that the temperature signal meets a predetermined temperature, controls the three-way solenoid valve to allow water to flow from the branch to the first end. Preferably, the motorcycle helmet includes a heating film. The heating film is disposed on the side wall of the fitting space and adheres to the liquid storage unit when the liquid storage unit is disposed in the fitting space, so as to heat the liquid storage unit. Preferably, the microcontroller controls the heating film to operate when it determines that the difference in the rise of the temperature signal within a time interval is less than a predetermined difference. Preferably, the thin-film solar panel unit is arranged in an overlapping or staggered configuration with the heating circuit system.

Please refer to Figures 1 and 2 together. Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the locomotive safety helmet of the present invention. Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of the heating circuit of the first embodiment of the locomotive safety helmet of the present invention. In particular, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the liquid storage unit separated from the helmet body, and Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the liquid storage unit combined with the helmet body. As shown in the figure, the motorcycle safety helmet H of the present invention includes a helmet body 1, a liquid storage unit 2, a heating circuit 3, a pump unit 5, and a thin-film solar panel unit 6. The helmet body 1 is generally a full-face safety helmet familiar or commonly used by those skilled in the art. The helmet body 1 has a head-wearing space 11 and a fitting space 12. The head-wearing space 11 corresponds to the user's head position. The fitting space 12 is located on the side of the helmet body 1. The liquid storage unit 2 is generally a jar made of metal, and its overall shape fits or conforms to the outside of the cap 1, so that the liquid storage unit 2 is detachably installed in the fitting space 12. Preferably, the fitting space 12 may be provided with one or more snap-fit ​​structures to allow the liquid storage unit 2 to be detachably installed in the fitting space 12; in addition, for safety or stability considerations, the liquid storage unit 2 may also be detachably installed in the fitting space 12 by means of locking or other methods. Furthermore, the liquid storage unit 2 is configured to store water or coffee and has a dual-loop interface 21. Notably, one loop interface 21 is recessed into the liquid storage unit 2, while the other loop interface 21 protrudes from the liquid storage unit 2, allowing the user to drink from or pour out the water or coffee from the liquid storage unit 2 using the protruding loop interface 21. The heating circuit 3 can be made of copper, aluminum, or other materials and is located on the top of the cap 1. Preferably, the heating circuit 3 can be arranged in a meandering or looping manner on the top of the cap 1. Preferably, the thin-film solar panel unit 6 and the heating circuit 3 are arranged overlappingly or alternately. The first end 31 and the second end 32 of the heating circuit 3 are respectively connected to the two circuit interfaces 21 of the liquid storage unit 2. Incidentally, the first end 31 and the second end 32 can be connected to the circuit interfaces 21 using quick-connect pipe fittings. For example, the first end 31 can be a male connector and the corresponding circuit interface 21 can be a female connector, and the second end 32 can be a female connector and the corresponding circuit interface 21 can be a male connector, etc. In addition, preferably, the circuit interface 21 corresponding to the first end 31 can be further provided with a check valve or other components to prevent water leakage unnecessarily. The pump unit 5 is a component well-known or commonly used by those skilled in the art, and it is disposed at the first end 31. The pump unit 5 is configured to circulate the water or coffee in the storage unit 2 and the heating circuit 3. That is, the pump unit 5 can drive the water or coffee to flow from one of the circuit interfaces 21 of the storage unit 2 to the heating circuit 3, and then to the top surface of the cap 1, and then back to the storage unit 2 through the other circuit interface 21, and so on. The thin-film solar panel unit 6 is a component well-known or commonly used by those skilled in the art, and it is disposed on the top of the helmet body 1. The thin-film solar panel unit 6 generates electrical energy through photoelectric rotation and supplies the electrical energy required for the operation of the various components of the motorcycle helmet H. Therefore, when the user is riding the motorcycle, water or coffee can continuously flow to the top of the helmet 1, where it can be heated or warmed by sunlight. When the user stops to rest, they can directly remove the reservoir 2 to drink the heated or warmed coffee, or use the heated or warmed water to brew coffee. Thus, the motorcycle helmet H of the present invention reduces the need for the user to heat water and perform the brewing process during rest stops or temporary stops, saving the user time and offering excellent convenience and immediacy. Please refer to Figures 3 and 4 together. Figure 3 is a block diagram of the second embodiment of the motorcycle helmet of the present invention. Figure 4 is a structural diagram of the second embodiment of the motorcycle helmet of the present invention. In this embodiment, the configuration and operation of components with the same component symbols are the same as or similar to those in the aforementioned embodiments, and the similarities will not be repeated here. As shown in the figure, the motorcycle helmet H of the present invention includes a coffee supply unit 4, which is disposed on the helmet body 1 and selectively connected to the heating circuit 3. The coffee supply unit 4 supplies coffee powder, coffee concentrate, or coffee capsules. For example, the coffee supply unit 4 can be a space for the user to place coffee powder or coffee concentrate; or, the coffee supply unit 4 can be a fixing mechanism to hold coffee capsules and, when needed, puncture the coffee capsules to allow water to flow into them for coffee extraction. Furthermore, the motorcycle helmet H includes a branch line 41, with both ends of the branch line 41 connected to the second end 32 of the heating circuit 3. The coffee supply unit 4 is positioned between the two ends of the branch line 41, and one end of the branch line 41 is connected to the second end 32 of the heating circuit 3 via a three-way solenoid valve 42. The three-way solenoid valve 42 is configured to allow water to flow directly from the second end 32 to the first end 31, or to allow water to flow from the branch line 41 to the first end 31. In different embodiments, the three-way solenoid valve 42 can be a manual three-way valve, allowing the user to manually switch between direct water flow from the second end 32 to the first end 31, or water flow from the branch line 41 to the first end 31. Since the coffee supply unit 4 is located between the two ends of the branch 41, when the water flows from the branch 41 to the first end 31, the heated water can brew the coffee powder, coffee concentrate or capsule coffee in the coffee supply unit 4 and achieve full mixing during the flow process to form a coffee with good flavor. Preferably, the motorcycle helmet H includes a temperature sensor 7 and a microcontroller 8. The temperature sensor 7 senses the temperature of the water to generate a temperature signal. The microcontroller 8 receives the temperature signal and, when it determines that the temperature signal meets a predetermined temperature, controls the three-way solenoid valve 42 to allow the water to flow from the branch 41 to the first end 31. That is, when the water has not reached the predetermined temperature, the water will continuously circulate in the storage unit 2 and the heating circuit 3. When the water reaches the predetermined temperature, the microcontroller 8 can control the three-way solenoid valve 42 to switch so that the water circulates in the storage unit 2, the branch 41 (including the coffee supply unit 4), and the heating circuit 3. Preferably, the motorcycle helmet H includes a heating film 9. The heating film 9 is a component well-known or commonly used in the art, and it is disposed on the side wall of the fitting space 12, and adheres to the liquid storage unit 2 when the fitting space 12 is disposed therein, to heat the liquid storage unit 2. Incidentally, a heat-insulating pad or other gap-filling layer may be provided between the wall of the fitting space 12 and the heating film 9 to prevent the heating film 9 from affecting the user. Furthermore, the inner wall of the fitting space 12 may have a heat-insulating layer, which may be a vacuum or heat-insulating material layer, or the liquid storage unit 2 may be made of a low thermal conductivity material; thereby significantly reducing the influence of external ambient temperature and improving the taste of the beverage. It is worth mentioning that the microcontroller 8 controls the heating film 9 to operate when the difference in the rise of the temperature signal within a certain time interval is less than a predetermined difference. In other words, when the weather is bad or the sunlight is not strong enough, the microcontroller 8 can use the heating film 9 to forcibly heat the water to ensure that the water reaches a suitable temperature for brewing coffee. This invention relates to a motorcycle helmet that provides a portable coffee brewing system. Utilizing a liquid storage unit, a branch circuit (including a coffee supply unit), and a heating circuit, it allows users to brew coffee while riding a motorcycle, eliminating the need to wait in place and making coffee brewing more efficient and convenient. Furthermore, the coffee brewing components are integrated into the helmet, allowing it to be carried along with the motorcycle. This eliminates the need to carry multiple coffee brewing tools and prevents the predicament of having to drink only the water used for brewing if these tools are forgotten. Moreover, the brewing and drinking process of this motorcycle helmet is simple: just place coffee in the coffee supply unit and add water to the liquid storage unit. This makes preparation and cleanup easier and more convenient, allowing users to enjoy freshly brewed coffee anytime.
