Modular Riding Helmet Buffer Layer for Impact Fit and Anti-Slip
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing riding helmets have poor replaceability and universality of their inner buffer layers, and the buffer effect is not optimal when directly acting on the head during impacts.
Innovation Solution
The inner buffer layer comprises a skeleton body with embedded buffer bodies made of foam materials, featuring buffer bulges on their surfaces, which can be customized and replaced, and is integrated with a helmet structure that includes a fabric inner cushion body for enhanced comfort and security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If an integrated inner buffer layer structure is used, then the helmet structure is simple, but the replaceability and universality are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The inner buffer layer is divided into multiple independent buffer bodies (first, second, third buffer bodies) that can be separately replaced. Each buffer body is an independent component embedded in the helmet shell, allowing selective replacement without replacing the entire inner buffer layer structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The helmet is designed with universal buffer bodies that can be applied to different helmet models. The buffer bodies have standardized dimensions and mounting interfaces, enabling them to serve multiple functions across different helmet types and be replaced universally.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a single inner buffer layer is used for one helmet, then the structure is fixed, but the buffer effect during impact is not optimal
Solution Approach 1:
Different buffer bodies have different buffer layers with varying material properties and thicknesses. The first, second, and third buffer bodies can have different buffer layer configurations optimized for specific impact scenarios, providing localized buffer characteristics rather than a uniform structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The buffer layers are designed with dynamic compression characteristics. The buffer layers compress during impact to absorb energy, and their performance can be optimized for different impact forces and directions, providing adaptive buffer protection rather than a static response.
3Reliability
If buffer bodies are made with buffer layers, then the buffer performance is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The buffer layers are nested within the buffer bodies. Each buffer body contains an integrated buffer layer structure where the buffer layer is formed as part of the buffer body component, simplifying the overall manufacturing process by combining multiple functions into a single manufacturable unit.

AI summary
The present invention provides an inner buffer layer of a riding helmet and a helmet structure. The inner buffer layer of the riding helmet comprises an inner buffer layer; the inner buffer layer comprises a skeleton body made of foam buffer materials; buffer bodies made of foam buffer materials are embedded in hollow grooves of the skeleton body; and the surfaces of the buffer bodies are provided with buffer layers. The buffer layers are a plurality of buffer bulges fixedly connected to the surfaces of the buffer bodies. The installed skeleton body ensures the structural strength of the inner buffer layer. Moreover, the plurality of buffer bulges installed can make the helmet match with a fabric inner cushion body in the wearing process, which can effectively increase the frictional force and effectively prevent the helmet from falling off the head of a wearer at the moment of accident impact.
