Helmet Mounting Structure Modular Adapter Bracket
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional helmets lack versatility in mounting terminal devices such as headlights and cameras, as they can only accommodate one function and have fixed, unadjustable mounting positions that can obstruct goggle folding.
Innovation Solution
A modular mounting structure for helmets that includes a mounting platform with a detachable adapter and adjustable steering gear, allowing for multiple terminal devices to be mounted and adjusted for optimal use without obstructing goggle folding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If terminal devices are directly inserted into jacks on the helmet body, then the mounting position is fixed and stable, but the mounting position cannot be adjusted and may block goggle folding
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting structure is divided into separate components: a mounting bracket with buckles that attaches to the helmet body, and a separate adapter that attaches to the bracket. This segmentation allows the adapter to be positioned away from the helmet body, preventing goggle blockage while maintaining secure mounting through the multi-point buckle system.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting bracket extends the mounting position from the front surface of the helmet body to a three-dimensional space above the helmet, using vertical and lateral buckles to distribute attachment points across multiple dimensions. This elevates the terminal device away from the goggle folding path while maintaining stable attachment.
2Reliability
If multiple helmets are reserved for different functions, then each helmet can be optimized for its specific function, but the cost increases and convenience decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket is designed as a universal base structure that can accommodate different types of adapters. Each adapter can be configured for specific terminal devices (headlights, cameras, GPS), allowing a single helmet with one mounting bracket to perform multiple functions by simply changing adapters, eliminating the need for multiple specialized helmets.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a static, fixed-function mounting solution to a dynamic, reconfigurable system where adapters can be added, removed, or swapped on the mounting bracket. This dynamic adaptability allows the helmet to change functions based on user needs without requiring multiple permanent mounting configurations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a mounting platform is added to accommodate multiple terminal devices, then versatility increases, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is segmented into a simple base bracket with buckles and separate functional adapters. This segmentation allows the basic bracket to remain structurally simple while versatility is achieved through the modular adapters, each designed for specific device types. The segmentation prevents the base structure from becoming overly complex.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting bracket acts as an intermediary between the helmet body and various terminal devices. Rather than directly integrating multiple device mounting mechanisms into the helmet (which would increase complexity), the bracket serves as a simple intermediate platform that provides universal attachment points, keeping the overall system complexity manageable.

AI summary
A mounting structure of a helmet is disclosed. The helmet includes a helmet body. The helmet body is provided with a mounting platform. The mounting platform includes a mounting bracket and an adapter. The mounting bracket is formed with two lateral buckles for being respectively clamped into the vent holes at the sides of the helmet and a forward buckle for being inserted into the jack at the front side of the helmet. The mounting bracket is mounted on the helmet body by clamping the two lateral buckles into the respective vent holes and inserting the forward buckle into the jack. The adapter is detachably mounted on the mounting bracket. The adapter is formed with a T-shaped buckle for inserting the terminal device. The mounting structure can mount a variety of terminal devices with the mounting platform, realize a variety of functions, is quick to be assembled and disassembled.
