Description

Helmet for motorcyclists and people who engage in extreme activities

Technical field

The present invention relates to personal protective equipment and, in particular, helmets equipped with a built-in recording system that can be used to prevent head injuries to motorcyclists and people engaged in extreme activities, e.g. members of special groups.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Helmets that contain a rigid shell and are equipped with slings and which have a recording system installed in the shell, the camera lens of which is located in the central part of the helmet above the face area and does not protrude beyond the surface of the shell; , a recording device with built-in memory, a device for attaching an external memory card and an electrical connector for connecting to external devices and / or a power supply are well known and widely used, see e.g. Website:

http://bokeh.com.ua/news/42_video_head_kamera_vstroennaya_v_shlem;

http://videoheadhelmets.com/products.

The aforementioned helmets are hardly suitable for motorcyclists due to the inability to protect the face from small stones flying from under the wheels of front-end vehicles because the camera lens is located at the flat end of the shell, making it impossible to install a face shield. Bulletproof glass is not foreseen in these helmets.

[0003] Certain motorcycle helmet information is known from the prior art, which comprises a rigid shell and is equipped with harnesses and damping elements and which has a recording system installed in the shell, the camera lens of which is located in the central part of the helmet above the protective shield bar; does not project beyond the shell surface (see DE 19542835, class A42B 3/04 published May 22, 1997). The disadvantages of a conventional device are the inability to operate autonomously, since it is necessary to connect (by cable) to external recording devices, and the complexity of data transmission to external devices.

-2The essence of the technical solution

The main task to be solved by the present technical solution is the development of a helmet for motorcyclists and people engaged in extreme activities.

The developed helmet allows to extend the functional possibilities of the device with the implementation of all necessary functions, namely the ability of autonomous control and the ability to transfer data to external devices.

To solve this problem, the helmet for motorcyclists and people engaged in extreme activities includes a rigid shell equipped with harnesses and damping elements, a bulletproof glass on the helmet shell, and a recording system installed in the shell with the camera lens located in the central part helmets above the locking bar of the shield and does not protrude beyond the shell surface. In addition, the recording system includes a built-in power supply, a control system, a recording device having built-in memory, an external memory card connection device, and an electrical connector for connection to external devices and / or a power supply in the helmet shell.

The control system can be manufactured with the ability to receive control signals from a remote controller. The camera preferably allows video and / or photo capture and is equipped with a microphone for recording audio signals.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Drawings show the essence of the proposed technical solution.

Figure 1 shows a general view of the proposed helmet. Figure 2 shows the position of the camera lens.

EXAMPLES

The proposed helmet includes a rigid shell also provided with harness elements 2 and damping elements, e.g. foam rubber. The recording system is installed in the shell 1, the camera lens 3 of which is located in the central part of the helmet above the face region and does not project beyond the surface of the shell. The glass lens 3 of the camera is built into the central part of the helmet above the protective shield of the shield and protected by sapphire glass 4.

The camera allows you to record video and capture photos and is equipped with a microphone for recording audio signals. The recording system shall also include

-3 shells 1. helmets built-in power supply, control system, recording device with built-in memory, external memory card connection device and electrical connector for external devices and / or power supply. Via the electrical connector, the recording system can be connected to a computer for post-processing of photographs, audio and video, to a power supply to recharge the battery, or to an external monitor for direct viewing of information. The control system is designed with the ability to receive control signals from a remote controller that can be mounted on the wearer's clothes. In addition, visual operating mode indicators can be installed in the helmet, sealed connector (intended to connect a head-mounted display to a PC for photo, audio and video processing), recharging the battery and direct viewing information via an external TV monitor, external remote control for the entire device and microphone.

According to the proposed technical solution, a prototype model was produced (Figures 1 and 2). The K-1C safety helmet from Special Materials, Corp. was used as the helmet itself. The recording system used was a driving on-board camera (a professional high-resolution automotive camera), all elements of which were removed from a standard case and placed inside the helmet.

The camera glass lens 3 was built into the central part of the helmet above the shielding bar and protected by sapphire glass 4. The recording device with built-in memory was mounted from the inside of the helmet and shielded from external inputs. The recording equipment shall have the following characteristics:

Full HD video recording, HD, 1920 x 1080 resolution; 1050 mAh rechargeable battery; photo resolution 16 Mp; 120 ° viewing angle.

Cyclic recording is performed on the built-in memory or MicroSD memory card with a memory space of up to 32 Gb. A device for attaching an external memory card is located in the inner part of the helmet between the shell 1 and the damping elements.

In order to turn on the recording system, a control system in the form of a rocker switch was provided. On the rocker switch, there is a power button and a play button. A remote control is provided for operation in the recording mode and the photo mode.

A monitor can be used to watch recordings without being connected to a computer or television, which can be connected to a recording system via a connector located on the recording device itself. On the back of the helmet is located USB 2.0 connector for charging the battery and taking information from the built-in memory or card

-4MicroSD. Removing information through this connector significantly increases the MicroSD's working time.

Industrial usability

All components of the recording system shall be so arranged as not to cause any interference to the person wearing the helmet. The operating temperature is from -28 ° C to +40 ° C. The weight of the recording system without the helmet is 125 g.

Since all elements of the recording system are located inside the helmet shell, it remains mobile and comfortable to use and its external appearance has not changed significantly. At the same time, the availability of multifunctional means of connection to external devices makes it more compatible with modern peripherals.
