As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2B, a helmet equipped with a vent means according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a vent portion 100 formed on the helmet body 10 through which external air flows in, and a vent portion 100 that releases air from the vent portion 100. It includes a guide part 200 that guides the incoming external air to be supplied to the sun visor 30 or shield 40 disposed in the opening 13 formed in the helmet body 10.

Basically, the helmet body 10 is made of a material such as hard synthetic resin with high strength. Additionally, an internal member 20 is disposed inside the helmet body 10. Here, the internal member 20 is an absorber made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) or the like and has appropriate strength and elasticity. At this time, the internal member 20 may include a first internal member 21, a second internal member 23, and a third internal member 25 with different densities in order to increase shock absorption performance. However, the internal member 20 does not necessarily include three internal members (20, first, second, and third internal members (21, 23, 25)), but may include one internal member (20) or two. It may include one or four or more internal members 20. Additionally, a pad, etc. may be provided inside the internal member 20 to improve wearing comfort.

Meanwhile, the sun visor 30 serves to block sunlight, etc. from directly entering the wearer's eyes, and may be disposed in the opening 13 formed in the front of the helmet body 10. Overall, the sun visor 30 may extend in an arc shape to cover the front of the wearer's eyes. At this time, the sun visor 30 is rotatably coupled to both sides (e.g., ratchet) of the helmet body 10, rotates with respect to the helmet body 10, and is positioned in the opening 13 of the helmet body 10. It can be placed or accommodated in the receiving space 35 formed inside the upper side of the helmet body 10.

In addition, the shield 40 serves to open and close the opening 13 formed in the front of the helmet body 10, and is rotatably coupled to both sides (e.g., ratchet) of the helmet body 10. , the opening portion 13 can be closed or opened by rotating with respect to the helmet body 10.

The helmet equipped with the vent means according to this embodiment induces supply of external air to the sun visor 30 or shield 40, and each configuration will be described in detail below.

The vent unit 100 serves to introduce external air (outside air) into the interior of the helmet body 10. Here, the vent portion 100 may be formed on both sides of the front of the helmet body 10. For example, the vent portion 100 may be formed on both sides of the upper side of the opening portion 13 of the helmet body 10. In this way, since the vent unit 100 is formed on the front of the helmet body 10, when the wearer moves forward on a bike, etc., outside air can naturally flow in through the vent unit 100. Specifically, the vent unit 100 may include a vent hole 110 and an opening/closing means 120. Here, the vent hole 110 penetrates the helmet body 10 through which external air is substantially introduced, and the opening and closing means 120 opens and closes the vent hole 110. Therefore, when the opening and closing means 120 opens the vent hole 110, outside air flows in through the vent hole 110, and when the opening and closing means 120 closes the vent hole 110, outside air flows in from the vent hole 110. Inflow can be blocked. At this time, the opening and closing means 120 may open and close the vent hole 110 while moving in a sliding manner.

The guide unit 200 serves to guide the supply of external air introduced from the vent unit 100 to the sun visor 30 or shield 40 disposed in the opening 13 formed in the helmet body 10. do. Here, the guide unit 200 may be disposed inside the vent unit 100 and the vent hole 110. For example, the guide portion 200 may be formed in a U-shaped bent plate shape and coupled to the inside of the helmet body 10 to face the vent portion 100 and the vent hole 110 (see FIG. 1). . Specifically, the guide unit 200 may include a coupling member 210 and a guiding member 220. Here, the coupling member 210 may be coupled to the inside of the helmet body 10 in an area adjacent to the vent portion 100 and the vent hole 110. In addition, the guiding member 220 extends from the coupling member 210 and is disposed to face the vent unit 100 and the vent hole 110, and the coupling member 210 allows external air flowing in from the vent unit 100 to pass through. ) may protrude in the inner direction of the helmet body 10 to form a predetermined space 221 therein (see FIG. 2b). At this time, the guiding member 220 of the guide unit 200 is connected to the first flow path 223 that is open in the direction of the opening 13 of the helmet body 10 through the predetermined space 221 and the helmet body 10. It may include a second flow path 225 that is open in a direction away from the opening portion 13. Accordingly, the outside air flowing in from the vent unit 100 may be induced to be supplied in the direction (e.g., downward direction) toward the opening portion 13 through the first flow path 223 and open through the second flow path 225. It may be induced to be supplied in a direction away from the part 13 (for example, upward direction). Here, the outside air induced to be supplied toward the opening 13 through the first flow path 223 may be supplied to the sun visor 30 or shield 40 disposed in the opening 13. At this time, outdoor air may be supplied to both surfaces (outer and inner surfaces) of the sun visor 30 disposed in the opening 13 and the inner surface of the shield 40 (see arrows in FIGS. 2A and 2B). In this way, when outside air is supplied to the sun visor 30 or shield 40, it is possible to prevent water vapor from forming on the sun visor 30 or shield 40 due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the helmet or the wearer's breath, As a result, the wearer's vision may not be obstructed. Meanwhile, the external air induced to be supplied in a direction away from the opening 13 through the second flow path 225 is directed to the moving part 300 (outside the inner member 20) through the through hole 310. direction), and a detailed explanation regarding this will be provided later.

Meanwhile, in the above description, the guide unit 200 is described as including the coupling member 210 and the guiding member 220, but the guide unit 200 does not necessarily include the coupling member 210 and the guiding member 220. It does not have to include, and can be formed in any known shape to induce external air introduced from the vent unit 100.

Meanwhile, a moving unit 300 may be provided to move the external air delivered from the second flow path 225 of the guide unit 200 from the front to the rear of the helmet body 10 (see FIG. 1). Here, the moving part 300 may be formed on the internal member 20 disposed inside the helmet body 10. For example, the internal member 20 may include first, second, and third internal members 21, 23, and 25, and the moving part 300 is long enough to be recessed into the outer surface of the second internal member 23. It can be formed by extending it. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the outside air induced to be supplied in a direction away from the opening 13 (for example, upward) through the second flow path 225 of the guide portion 200 is supplied to the sun visor ( The front of the helmet body 10 along the moving part 300 of the internal member 20 (second internal member 23) through the accommodation space 35 (outside of the third internal member 25) where 30) is accommodated. It can be moved from to the rear. At this time, a through hole 310 penetrating in the thickness direction may be formed in the internal member 20 at a position corresponding to the moving part 300. Through this through hole 310, the moving part 300 and the inside of the internal member 20 can communicate fluidly with each other. Therefore, when the outside air delivered from the second flow path 225 of the guide part 200 moves through the moving part 300, the pressure of the moving part 300 becomes relatively low (∵because the moving speed of the outside air is high). , the air inside the internal member 20 may move in the direction of the moving unit 300 (outward direction of the internal member 20) through the through hole 310. In this way, when the air inside the internal member 20 moves in the direction of the moving part 300, air circulation inside the helmet can be induced, and as a result, the high temperature air inside the helmet can be moved to the internal member 20. It can be moved to unit 300. In other words, as the outside air moves through the moving part 300, the air inside the internal member 20 (air inside the helmet) is absorbed into the moving part 300, thereby leading to air circulation inside the helmet and thus the wearer's head. By lowering the temperature, it can provide comfort to the wearer.

Ultimately, in the helmet equipped with the vent means according to this embodiment, the external air induced into the first flow path 223 of the guide part 200 is directed to the sun visor 30 or shield 40 disposed in the opening part 13. Not only is it directly supplied to effectively prevent water vapor from forming on the sun visor 30 or the shield 40, but also the outdoor air induced into the second flow path 225 of the guide part 200 passes through the moving part 300. It can provide comfort to the wearer by absorbing the air inside the helmet and inducing air circulation inside the helmet.

Meanwhile, in the above description, it has been described that the helmet equipped with a vent means according to the present embodiment prevents water vapor from forming on the sun visor 30 or the shield 40 by using external air, but it is not necessarily limited thereto. Water vapor already generated in the sun visor 30 or shield 40 may be removed using outside air.

Additionally, as shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 3, an auxiliary moving part 320 extending long enough to be recessed may be formed on the inside of the internal member 20 (inner surface of the first internal member 21). there is. Here, the auxiliary moving part 320 is employed for the purpose of inducing air circulation between the internal member 20 and the wearer's head by air flowing in from the outside of the helmet.

Although the present invention has been described in detail through specific examples, this is for detailed explanation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and can be understood by those skilled in the art within the technical spirit of the present invention. It is clear that modifications and improvements are possible.
