Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the ventilation of helmets, in particular it relates to improving the cooling performance while maintaining the aerodynamics of sport helmets.
  • the main factors contributing to the the cooling performance of a helmet are forced convection and the blocking of heat irradiation, e.g., sun irradiation.
  • the primary goal of a helmet is to protect the wearer's head on impact.
  • the helmet In order to absorb the energy from the impact, the helmet typically contains a shock absorbent material such as expanded polystyrene (EPS).
  • EPS expanded polystyrene
  • the helmet may further comprise an outer casing. This outer casing may serve different purposes such as for the protection of the absorbent material, for the distribution of impact forces over a wider area, for preventing the helmet to crush of brake in smaller parts, for providing a smooth aerodynamic outer surface and for aesthetic reasons.
  • a disadvantage of helmets is that they hinder the cooling of the wearer's head. This may be solved be providing fixed openings in the helmet that allow air to flow onto the wearer's head thereby providing a cooling effect. However, the openings are not always favoured by the wearer, for example when it rains or when aerodynamics prevail over the cooling effect.
  • closable air inlets having an open and closed position. In the open position, air can flow into the helmet and provide the ventilation and, in the closed position, air flows over the helmet's outer surface.
  • One way to achieve such a closable air inlet is by a cover element that is embedded between the outer casing of the helmet and the absorbent material. In a closed position, the cover element then covers an air inlet opening in the absorbent material. To open the ventilation, the cover element is then slid underneath the outer cover thereby exposing the air inlet. Alternatively, the cover element is slid along the outside of the outside casing.
  • a first drawback is that the wearer's head may be exposed to sun radiation in the open position when the air inlet is on the topside of the helmet. This exposure partly cancels out the ventilation effect.
  • a second drawback is that the airflow is often suboptimal because the air is not optimally guided upon entering the air inlet. These two drawbacks are also present in helmets with fixed air inlets.
  • a third drawback is that extra space must be foreseen in, on top or under the outer cover to embed the cover element when it is in the open position. This further increases the thickness of the helmet or results in an uneven outer surface which affects the aerodynamics of the helmet.
  • DE202011002353U1 discloses a protective helmet according to the preamble of claim 1, with at least one ventilation opening for ventilation of the helmet interior; wherein one of the ventilation opening has an associated flap movable between a first position in which it closes the ventilation opening, and a second position in which the ventilation opening is opened; and wherein a spring detent mechanism is coupled to the flap and has spring means and latching means; and wherein the spring means holds the flap in a substantially unstressed position in the first position; and wherein the spring means is tensioned when the flap is pressed by the helmet user in the second position; and wherein a latching engagement occurs by the latching means when the flap reaches the second position, whereby the flap is held against the force of the tensioned spring means in the second position; and wherein the latching means releases its latching engagement when the helmet user the flap to move to the first position.
  • blinds are thin plate like structures or lamellas that essentially only comprise two main surfaces, a top and bottom surface. When referring to the surface of a blind within this disclosure, it is a reference to this bottom or top surface. In both open and closed position the surfaces of the blinds are substantially parallel to each other. In a closed position, the surfaces further form a single surface or plane. In an open position, each blind defines a plane separate from the other blinds such that an air gap is defined in between consecutive blinds through which the air can flow into the helmet.
  • the blinds By the surface of the blinds sunlight will be blocked. The more the sunlight radiates a blind's surface perpendicularly, the more efficient the sunlight is blocked. As the strongest radiation is mostly received on top of the helmet and as the blinds will be most effective for ventilation when parallel to the horizon, an optimal ventilation and irradiation blocking is achieved by a helmet according to the invention. By the same principle, the blinds will also protect the wearer better from rain.
  • the blinds will guide the incoming air flow along their surface. Therefore, by positioning the blinds appropriately, an optimal air flow inside the helmets is achieved. Moreover, by adjusting the position of the blinds, the direction of the air flow may be further adjusted according to the air flow conditions.
  • the blinds are positioned such that air is guided into the helmet along the wearer's head. This way, the least air resistance and maximum cooling is achieved.
  • the blinds are rotatable around a rotation axis between the closed and tilted position; and wherein the rotation axis of each blind is parallel to a tangent of the blind and perpendicular to a direction of the air flow over the blind when the blind is in the closed position.
  • the tilting of the blinds is thus achieved by a rotation of each blind around a rotation axis which is parallel to the surface of the blind. Furthermore, the blind is positioned such that the air gap intercepts the air flow in the most optimal position. The has the advantage that the least resistance is achieved when guiding the airflow inside the helmet.
  • the helmet comprises a front and back portion thereby defining a front and back portion of the blinds; and wherein the blind is rotatable around the front portion such that the blind is tilted inward the helmet when in the open position.
  • the front portion of the helmet thus corresponds to the front of the helmet, i.e., the portion running towards the face of the wearer. Because the rotation axis is positioned towards the front side of the blind, the blind will mainly rotate inwards into the helmet when moving into the open position. This has the advantage that the blind thus not stick out of the helmet's outer surface when in the open position. Moreover, the blinds will not exhibit a large momentum towards the open position when they are closed. This prevents that the blinds would accidently open by a strong air flow during use.
  • the closable air inlet comprises an engaging means movable from a first position to a second position such that the blinds are moved between the open and closed position when the engaging means is moved between the first and second position.
  • the blinds are pivotally mounted in the engaging means; and wherein the blinds are moved from the closed position to the translated position when moving the engaging means from the first to second position; and wherein the helmet further comprises a guiding means arranged such that the blinds move from the closed position to the tilted position by interaction with the guiding means when the engaging means moves from the first to second position.
  • the blinds can be further secured apart from the fixation points of the rotation axis thereby assuring that the blinds can withstand the forces exhibited by the air flow.
  • the air inlet may further comprise a cover covering the blinds and comprising openings to guide the air to the blinds.
  • the air may be filtered upon entering, for example to prevent that insects fly into the helmet through the blinds.
  • the cover may have a pattern different from the blinds allowing further personalization of the helmet.
  • the cover also strengthens the overall structure of the helmet thereby making the helmet better resistant to impact.
  • the cover preferably comprises an impact absorbing structure.
  • the engaging means may further be connected to the cover such that the engaging means is moved from the first to second position when the cover is moved along the helmet's outer surface.
  • the engaging means thus serves a dual purpose, i.e., as a cover for the blinds and for moving the blinds. This has the advantage that no further space on the outside cover of the helmet must be sacrificed to embed the engaging means resulting in a slick and visually attractive design.
  • the helmet further comprises an actuation means comprising an actuator for moving the blinds from the first to second position in an automated way. This way, the wearer does not have to move the blinds manually because the actuator will move the blinds between the open and closed position.
  • the actuation means may further comprise a temperature sensor.
  • the actuator is then driven by the temperature sensor, i.e., when the temperature exceeds a certain threshold temperature as measured by the sensor, then the actuation means moves the blinds to the open position by the actuator.
  • the actuator comprises a material which changes shape by a change in temperature arranged such that the blinds move between the open and closed position depending on the temperature of the material.
  • the actuation means further comprises a sensor for measuring the tilting of the helmet; and the helmet further comprises a processing unit arranged to configure a position of the blinds in the open position and thereby the air flow into the helmet based on the measured tilting.
  • Fig. 1 to Fig. 5 illustrate different views and details of a helmet 100 comprising a closable air inlet 120 according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • the helmet 100 comprises a front portion and rear or back portion thereby defining a front direction 115 and rear direction 116 with respect to the helmet 100.
  • the face of a wearer of the helmet is facing the front direction and the back of the head of the wearer is facing the rear direction.
  • the helmet 100 comprises a closable air inlet 120 in the front portion of the helmet.
  • the air inlet 120 can be arranged in a closed positon and an open position. In the closed position an air flow 301 will flow along the outer surface 303 of the helmet and no air is entering the helmet through the air inlet 120. In an open position an air flow 302 will flow into the air inlet 120 and flow along the wearer's head thereby providing a cooling effect.
  • the airflow 302 exits the helmet 100 through holes in the rear portion of the helmet 100.
  • the air inlet comprises blinds 101 to 104 movable between a closed position as illustrated by Fig. 1A , 2A and 3A and an open position as illustrated by Fig. 1B , 2B , 3B , 4 and 5 .
  • Fig. 1A , 2A and 3A an open position as illustrated by Fig. 1B , 2B , 3B , 4 and 5 .
  • the air inlet 120 is in the open position
  • the air inlet 120 is in the closed position.
  • Blinds 101 to 104 are attached to an engaging means 130.
  • the blinds are rotatable around a rotation axis, for example axis 131 for blind 102, within the engaging means 130, i.e., blinds 101-104 are pivotally mounted in the engaging means 130.
  • the blinds 101-104 In the closed position, the blinds 101-104 form a single flat surface preventing the air from entering the air inlet.
  • the blinds 101-104 are tilted 111 with respect to the open position around their respective rotation axis.
  • Engaging means 130 is mountable in helmet 100.
  • Engaging means 130 is movable between a first and second position by a translation along the outer surface of the helmet. In the first position as shown in Fig. 1A , the blinds are closed.
  • the engaging means 130 is slid along direction 110 to the back of the helmet.
  • the blinds are tilted inwards the helmet by a slope element 119 serving as guiding element for the blinds.
  • Blinds 101-104 interact with slope element 119 an thus follow the slope of slope element 119 during the translation 110 of the engaging means 130.
  • the rotation axis of blinds 101-104 providing the tilting is preferably parallel to the blind itself and located in the front portion 117 of the blind.
  • the front portion 117 of the blind is the portion which is located towards the front 115 of the helmet 100.
  • the back portion 118 of the blind is then the portion which is located towards the back 116 of the helmet 100.
  • Fig. 1B where line 113 illustrates the plane of the blind when closed and line 114 illustrates the plane of the blind when in the open position.
  • the angle 112 between plane 113 and 114 then illustrates the tilting angle of the blind with respect to the outer surface 303 of the helmet 100. This way, the blind will make the tilting movement into the helmet. Moreover, the blind is in a stable position as incoming air will not exhibit a large rotation momentum on the blind.
  • the air flow 302 is guided into the helmet 100 by the blinds, i.e., into the air gaps created by the opened blinds.
  • the blinds themselves guide the air flow 302 into the helmet. More preferably, in the open position, the blinds are positioned such that the air flow 302 is guided along the head of the wearer.
  • a cover 502 covers blinds 101 to 104.
  • Cover 502 is further attached to the engaging means 130 such that the translation 119 to the open position or the translation 501 to the closed position may be performed by moving the cover along the outer surface 303 of the helmet in respective direction 119 or 501.
  • Holes are provided in cover 502 such that the air flow 302 can pass through the cover when the air inlet is open.
  • Cover 502 provides a reinforcement of the helmet 100 at the air inlet 120.
  • Cover 502 may comprise an impact absorbent structure such that the wearer's head is also protected around the air inlet.
  • Cover 502 and the impact resistant structure may be chosen such that the helmet 100 withstands a kerbstone impact as specified in standard EN1078.
  • the impact absorbance may for example be provided by a honeycomb structure made of Polycarbonate.
  • Fig. 6 further illustrates an actuation means 600 for moving the blinds 101-104 between the open and closed position.

  • Actuator 604 may for example correspond to a motor for turning the blinds 101-104.
  • Actuator 604 may also correspond to a linear actuator for moving the engaging means 130 or cover 502 between the first and second position.
  • actuation means 600 comprises a control unit 603 for controlling the actuator 604. Actuation means 600 may then further comprise a temperature sensor 601 providing a measure of the temperature outside or inside the helmet to the control unit 603. Control unit 603 is then further configured to move the blinds to the open position when the temperature exceeds a first threshold temperature. Control unit 603 may be further configured to move the blinds to the closed position when the temperature drops below a second threshold temperature.
  • Actuation means 600 may further comprise a tilting sensor 602 for measuring the tilting position of the helmet.
  • the tilting position is the angle corresponding to the tilting of the head of the wearer with respect to a horizontal reference plane such as for example a plane perpendicular to the direction of the gravity.
  • a horizontal reference plane such as for example a plane perpendicular to the direction of the gravity.
  • actuator 604 comprises a material which deforms by a changing temperature. This deformation is then used to control the position of the blinds 101-104 from completely opened to completely closed. This way an automated opening of the blinds is achieved without a need for energy storage such as a battery.
