HELMET LENS DEMISTER
The present invention discloses a helmet lens demister, also including the lens (e.g., a snow or wind goggle) if being used independently. The helmet lens demister includes primarily a socket, a power supply device, a fan and fixing devices by which the demister is fixed on a predetermined location for defogging the lens. When defogging, a controller activates the power supply device to produce electricity and drive the fan. Then, the fan produces wind power to cause air convection. Therefore, a temperature in an inner space of the helmet lens will be close to a temperature of ambient environment and a temperature and humidity on an inner side of the lens can be adjusted; therefore, water molecules will not be attached on a side of the lens close to a human body. Moreover, as an entire structure is simple, the socket can be fixed freely, to improve the practicability.
This application is a Continuation-In-Part of currently pending U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 12/612,433 filed on Nov. 4, 2009.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONa) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a demister and more particularly to a helmet lens demister which utilizes air convection to balance a temperature difference, so as to prevent from attachment of water molecules.
b) Description of the Prior Art
A motorcycle has already been one of most essential vehicles for short-ranged transportation of modern people. In order to protect safety of a rider, a helmet has become one of indispensable safety equipment. Therefore, whether in a sunny or rainy day, the rider has to wear the helmet to protect his or her safety; and all of the existing helmets will be attached with a piece of safety lens to keep alien objects from hitting on the rider's face and eyes upon riding the motorcycle. However, as the lens is covered, a temperature inside the helmet will increase by hot air which is caused when the rider is breathing. At this time, when an air temperature and humidity in ambient environment are too high and the ambient temperature is lower than the temperature inside the helmet, water molecules in the air will be very easily attached on the lens, forming so-called mist. When the mist is produced on the helmet lens, a vision of the rider will be reduced, which will easily result in an accident. Accordingly, to prevent from forming the mist on the lens, a related vendor has provided a solution. Referring to
Accordingly, how to solve the aforementioned issues and shortcoming of the prior arts is a direction of research and development for improvement by the present inventor and related vendors.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention is a demister and more particularly to a helmet lens demister which utilizes air convection to balance a temperature difference and to adjust a temperature and humidity on an inner surface of the lens, thereby preventing from attachment of water molecules.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a helmet lens demister which includes primarily a socket, a power supply device, a fan and fixing devices by which the demister can be fixed on a predetermined location for defogging the lens. When defogging, a controller can be used to activate the power supply device to produce electricity and drive the fan. At this time, the fan will produce wind power to form air convection. As an air convection rate is larger than a flow rate of hot air which is produced when a rider is breathing and a temperature and humidity on the inner surface of the lens can be adjusted, a temperature in an inner space of the helmet lens can be close to an ambient temperature; therefore, water molecules will not be attached on a side of the lens close to a human body. On the other hand, as an entire structure is simple, it facilitates the rider to fix the socket at a proper location freely, thereby improving the practicability.
A second object of the present invention is to provide a helmet demister which requires less electricity that there is no need to replace the battery constantly.
A third object of the present invention is to provide a helmet demister, an entire structure of which is simple and compact that the rider can easily carry.
A fourth object of the present invention is to provide a helmet demister, wherein as an entire structure is simple, a manufacturing cost is cheap to reduce a sale price.
A fifth object of the present invention is to provide a helmet demister, wherein as an air flow rate is more than three times of a respiration rate, a helmet lens can be quickly defogged and can be kept from fogging.
To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
