The protective suit is based on the basic theories and technologies of human-computer interaction and ergonomics, reasonably allocating complex system human-machine functions, and improving the overall efficiency of human-machine integration. The explanation given to experts is simply that the new protective suit is like the armor of "Iron Man", * enhancing the individual's ability to work.
It is reported that protective clothing has achieved multifunctionality, informatization, and lightweight. Compared with existing firefighting clothing, it has more comprehensive protection, more comfortable wearing, and more powerful functions. All data indicators are above the standard. Moreover, the new protective clothing has strong comprehensive protective performance, and the materials have characteristics such as flame retardancy, waterproofing, acid and alkali resistance, wear resistance, bending resistance, high temperature resistance, heat radiation resistance, explosion resistance, and high strength.
Helmet with camera positioning to prevent getting trapped
Although the protective suit is a one-piece structure, it is necessary to disassemble and introduce it.
The helmet of the protective suit has the feeling of an "Iron Man" helmet, with a red triangle on top that looks like a logo at first glance. In fact, it integrates headlight and camera functions. Under the protective mask, an air respirator can be connected. The helmet also integrates functions such as communication, information collection, temperature monitoring and alarm.
Iron Man also has an intelligent butler named Jarvis. After the firefighter rushes into the fire scene, the helmet's information collection system will transmit the situation seen by the firefighter to the intelligent butler. The rear commander can combine the line of sight of the four firefighters in the assault team to form a "panoramic view" of the fire, comprehensively analyze the situation of the fire, and then use the audio transmission system to instruct frontline firefighters to attack along a safe and effective path.
What if a firefighter who rushes into a fire is trapped?
The helmet also comes with an alarm device. Within 20 seconds, if the firefighter does not move, the helmet will flash a red and blue alarm and emit a buzzing alarm. Because the protective suit also has a positioning function, backup firefighters can quickly find trapped comrades and rescue them.
How is the signal stability? Based on previous tests, the communication, audio, video, and other information transmission between the ground commander and the firefighters who entered the underground 3rd floor at a depth of about 500 meters were very normal
Built in 'air conditioning' and pulse monitoring capability
If helmets provide 'communication safety', then clothing provides' temperature safety '.
In a high-temperature fire scene, thermal radiation can be terrifying, even deadly. The new protective clothing adopts an automatic cooling system inside, which realizes the active thermal regulation function of the clothing, equivalent to a set of automatic air conditioning built-in. The experimenters personally wore protective clothing and stayed in the high-temperature chamber for 30 minutes, still feeling comfortable. Firefighter Liu Futao from Xiangyang Squadron clearly felt "cool" after wearing the new protective suit. Rushing into a fire, the high temperature is uncomfortable and quickly consumes physical energy. If they can persist for 2 hours during regular training, they may reach their limit in 40 minutes in the fire, "said Liu Futao. The constant temperature system of the new protective suit is like a" fire shield ", which can help them fight longer in the fire.
