The new style of fire protective clothing resembles aerospace clothing

"The reason why astronaut costumes do have their origins." According to the person in charge of the Municipal Fire Department, the new firefighters' Protective Clothing is supported by the Chinese astronaut under the joint organization of the Municipal Commission of Science and Technology and the Municipal Fire Bureau. The center, Beijing Labor Protection Science Research Institute and Beijing Intler Garment Co., Ltd. jointly developed. During the development process, protective clothing took part of the advanced technology of space suits outside China’s flying cabins, which took nearly 3 years to successfully develop.

So, where is this protective suit “cattle”?

“Protective clothing is based on human-computer interaction and ergonomics basic theories and technologies, and rationally allocates the human-machine function of complex systems to improve the overall efficiency of human-machine integration.” A brief explanation for the expert’s explanation is that the new protective clothing is like “Iron Man”. "The armor has greatly enhanced the individual combat capability.

According to reports, protective clothing has achieved multi-functionalization, informationization and light weight. Compared with existing fire fighting clothing, protection is more comprehensive, wearing more comfortable and more powerful, and all data indicators are above national standards. Moreover, the new protective clothing comprehensive protection performance is strong, the material has the characteristics of flame retardant, waterproof, acid and alkali resistance, wear resistance, folding resistance, high temperature resistance, heat resistance radiation, anti-knocking and high strength.

Helmet can be positioned to prevent trapped

Although the protective clothing is a connected structure, it is necessary to open the introduction.

Helmets for protective clothing, the most "Iron Man" helmet feeling, the top is a red triangle, looks like a logo at first glance, in fact, integrated headlights and camera functions here. Under the protective mask, the air breathing apparatus can be switched on. The helmet also incorporates functions such as calling, information collection, and temperature monitoring and alarming.

"Iron Man" also has a smart steward named Jarvis. After the firefighter rushes into the fire, the helmet's information collection system passes the information the firefighter sees to the smart steward. The rear commander can combine the sights of the four firefighters in the offensive team to form a “panorama” of fire, comprehensively analyze the situation of the fire site, and then instruct the frontline firefighters to follow the safest and most effective path through the audio transmission system.

What should I do if a firefighter rushes into the fire?

The helmet also has an alarm device. Within 20 seconds, the firefighters will not move, the helmet will flash red and blue alarms, and beep alarm. Because the protective clothing also has a positioning function, the backup firefighters can quickly find trapped comrades and rescue them.

How is the stability of the signal? According to previous tests, the ground commander communicated with the firefighters who entered the 3rd floor underground with a depth of about 500 meters.

Built-in "air conditioning" and pulse monitoring

If helmets provide "communicating security," then clothing provides "temperature security."

In high-temperature fires, thermal radiation is terrible and even fatal. The new protective clothing uses an automatic temperature-reduction system to achieve the active thermal regulation of clothing, which is equivalent to a built-in automatic air conditioning. The test personnel were still wearing a protective suit and stayed in the high temperature cabin for 30 minutes. They were still comfortable. After Liu Futao, the fire fighter of Xiangyang Squadron, put on new protective clothing, the most obvious feeling was "coolness." "Into the fire, high temperature is the most difficult, will soon consume physical fitness, if you can adhere to the usual training for 2 hours, in the fire, it may be 40 minutes to the limit." Liu Futao said that the new protective clothing thermostat system is like a "Have shelters" can allow them to fight in the fire more lasting.

In addition, the protective clothing can also monitor the physiological information of the firefighters such as exercise status and pulse to help the firefighters identify the fire environment. In case of extremely harsh environments such as high temperatures, they will be alerted in time. Apparel also adds active joints and size adjustments to suit a variety of body types. These details are designed to improve aptitude and rescue effectiveness. At present, four sets of new types of protective clothing are still in the actual combat test phase, and are used by Xiangyang Squadron firefighters in actual alarms, and feedback on relevant usage information is provided for further optimization and improvement in the future. After passing the test, the new protective clothing will be mass produced.
