The appearance design of industrial intelligent helmets should take into account the concealment of functional integration, scene adaptability and ergonomics on the premise of not weakening safety protection. The core focuses on the three major goals of "uncompromising protection, unexposed function and unobtrusive wearing". The specific design points are as follows:
1. Core Design Principles
Safety priority adaptation: the appearance shall match the basic protection structure, and the buffer space, ventilation hole or protection area shall not be sacrificed for aesthetics.
Function hidden integration: intelligent modules (cameras, sensors, antennas) need to be embedded in the shell to avoid protruding and fragile, and maintain the integrity of the appearance.
Lightweight vision: through the shell line simplification, low color saturation, weaken the "heavy equipment" impression, improve wearing acceptance.
2. Key Design Details
1. Overall form: fit the head and adapt the function
Outline line: adopt "round and streamlined" main outline, avoid sharp edges and corners at the top (not only conforms to the impact resistance mechanics, but also reduces the risk of hooking during operation); The rear part extends slightly backward to cover the rear neck protection area, and at the same time reserves a hidden space for the battery compartment/sensor.
Size ratio: the lateral width is controlled at 18-22cm (suitable for most head circumferences), and the height (top to lower jaw) is ≤ 15cm, so as to avoid blocking the line of sight or jamming in narrow spaces (such as equipment gaps); The front part can be designed with a "short brim" (length ≤ 5cm) to block strong light/dust and will not affect head-up operation.
2. Color and Material: Adapt to the scene and strengthen recognition
Color selection: with "high recognition scene adaptation" as the core, avoid fancy color matching:
General industrial scene: the main color is matte dark gray/navy blue (stain-resistant and non-reflective), and the saturated color bar (orange/yellow) is added to the key parts (such as the front and rear) to improve the visual recognition during operation and avoid collision).
Special scenes: "red and gray color matching" for power inspection (in line with industry safety color standards); "black fluorescent green" for mines/underground (more eye-catching in low-light environments).
Material texture: matte ABS/PC composite material is preferred for the shell; The edge of the lining that contacts the skin is covered with "soft edge", and the appearance is "narrow edge transition" to avoid skin irritation and enhance delicacy.
3. Detail optimization: both practical and beautiful
Ventilation hole design: the top/side is provided with "strip/circular ventilation holes", the hole diameter is ≤ 5mm (to prevent small particles from entering), the holes are distributed along the heat dissipation area of the head, and the appearance is "array arrangement", which not only ensures ventilation, but also forms regular visual texture.
3. Scenario Appearance Adaptation Example
Factory inspection scene: the main color is matte and dark gray, with orange thin strips on the side (for identification), hidden camera at the front, strip-shaped ventilation holes at the top, simple as a whole without redundant protrusions, and suitable for the dense environment of workshop equipment.
Mine operation scene: the main color is black and fluorescent green, the shell is thickened (to prevent falling rocks), the ventilation hole is equipped with a "dust-proof grille", the Beidou positioning antenna is hidden at the rear, the overall line is thick and solid, highlighting the sense of protection, and the fluorescent green improves the positioning in the underground low-light environment.
