Abstract

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.

Claims (7)

1 . A helmet structure, comprising an inner buffer layer and a helmet body ( 3 ), wherein

the inner buffer layer ( 1 ) comprises a skeleton body ( 11 ) made of foam buffer materials; buffer bodies ( 2 ) made of foam buffer materials are embedded in hollow grooves of the skeleton body ( 11 ); and surfaces of the buffer bodies ( 2 ) are provided with buffer layers ( 21 );

the buffer layers ( 21 ) are a plurality of buffer bulges ( 22 ) fixedly connected to the surfaces of the buffer bodies ( 2 ); and

the skeleton body ( 11 ) is bonded in the helmet body ( 3 ); a fabric inner cushion body ( 4 ) is arranged at an inner side of each buffer body ( 2 ); and an edge of the fabric inner cushion body ( 4 ) is pressed and fixed by a pressing ring ( 31 ) arranged on an edge of the helmet body ( 3 ).

2 . The helmet structure according to claim 1 , wherein both sides of a bottom of the helmet body ( 3 ) are fixedly connected with helmet belts ( 32 ), and one end of the helmet belts ( 32 ) is fixedly connected through a belt buckle ( 33 ).

3 . The helmet structure according to claim 1 , wherein a bottom of the pressing ring ( 31 ) is fixedly connected with a plurality of wedge pins ( 311 ), and the pressing ring ( 31 ) is fitted with a bottom of the helmet body ( 3 ) and then clamped and connected with a clamping groove ( 34 ) arranged at the bottom of the helmet body ( 3 ).

4 . The helmet structure according to claim 1 , wherein a size of the inner buffer layer ( 1 ) is adapted with a size of the helmet body ( 3 ), and a size of the fabric inner cushion body ( 4 ) is adapted with the size of the inner buffer layer ( 1 ).
