[0035] Traditional fire masks usually use a smoke filter layer composed of flame-retardant cloth, filter cloth and absorbent cotton gauze, an air filter layer composed of an activated carbon tank and a thermal insulation hood. Although these masks can achieve the filtering function to a certain extent, they generally have shortcomings such as poor thermal insulation and large breathing resistance, which affects the wearing comfort. They are not suitable for long-term wearing and cannot meet the rescue needs in complex fire environments.

[0036] In order to solve the technical problems of existing fire-fighting respirators such as poor thermal insulation, large breathing resistance, poor wearing comfort, and unsuitability for complex fire environments, the present application provides a flame-retardant and high-temperature resistant fire-fighting respirator with life monitoring function, wherein a high-mesh metal mesh and triboelectric technology are combined to form an efficient triboelectric sensor structure to monitor the wearer's breathing frequency and intensity, and to emit positioning signals to dynamically monitor the wearer's health status and location information, thereby improving the safety of personnel at the fire scene.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a flame-retardant and high-temperature fire-fighting respirator with a life monitoring function, comprising a semi-enclosed heat-insulating hood 1 and a breathing mask 2 wrapped around the face connected to the heat-insulating hood 1. Such a configuration can effectively isolate the high-temperature environment and protect the head and face of the wearer from direct damage by flames and high temperatures; a transparent window 21 is provided in the middle of the breathing mask 2, which is made of high light transmittance and heat-resistant materials to ensure that the wearer still has a clear field of vision in a high-temperature environment; an air inlet and an exhaust valve 22 are provided at the lower part of the breathing mask 2, and the air inlet is connected to a filter and life signal monitoring device 3, and a friction layer 31 and an electrode layer 32 are provided in the filter and life signal monitoring device 3. Such a configuration can provide an efficient filtering effect, protect the wearer from harmful substances in the fire environment, and monitor the wearer's vital signs in real time; the fire-fighting respirator also includes a signal collecting and sending device 4 connected to the filter and life signal monitoring device 3 by signal, and the signal collecting and sending device 4 is connected to the filter and life signal monitoring device 3 through a wire 7 to receive the respiratory electrical signal generated by it, and then transmit the wearer's life signal to an external receiving device in real time.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 The heat-insulating hood 1 includes a flame-retardant reflective layer 11, a polyimide fiber sponge heat-insulating filling layer 12, a phase change material temperature-regulating layer 13 and a moisture-absorbing quick-drying cotton layer 14, which are arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside. This arrangement ensures that the wearer can be found as soon as possible in a high-temperature and low-visibility fire environment, while ensuring the protection and comfort of wearing.

[0039] Specifically, the material of the outermost flame-retardant reflective layer 11 is a material with good reflective and flame-retardant properties; the polyimide fiber sponge insulation filling layer 12 in the middle layer provides excellent thermal isolation effect and is prepared by centrifugal spinning technology and three-dimensional collection. First, a polyacrylic acid (PAA) spinning solution with a solid content of 16 to 19 wt% is prepared. During the centrifugal spinning process, the rotation speed is set to 3000 to 4000 rpm, the spinning temperature is controlled to 30 to 40°C, and the humidity is maintained at 30 to 40% RH. The spinneret aperture is 0.2 to 0.3 mm, and a distance of 8 to 10 cm is maintained between the centrifugal spinning cup and the collecting cloth to prepare a polyamic acid fiber sponge with a thickness of 20 to 40 mm. Thereafter, it is heated to 300 to 450°C in a muffle furnace under a nitrogen atmosphere and kept warm for 1 to 5 hours to complete the thermal imidization treatment to obtain the polyimide fiber sponge insulation filling layer 12. Among them, the density of polyamic acid fiber sponge is 6.7~7.7mg / cm 3 , thermal conductivity is 0.035~0.045W / mK, with excellent thermal insulation performance and stable physical properties.

[0040] The preparation method of the phase change material temperature regulating layer 13 is as follows: encapsulate the phase change material in a flexible microcapsule, uniformly disperse it in a polymer matrix, and form a phase change material temperature regulating layer 13 with a thickness of 1 to 3 mm. Specifically, the phase change material is mixed with a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution to form an emulsion, an emulsifier and a stabilizer are added to ensure that the emulsion is uniform and stable, the emulsion is uniformly dispersed by stirring and ultrasonic treatment, a curing agent is added to form a stable microcapsule shell of polyvinyl alcohol on the surface of the phase change material, the phase change material microcapsules are mixed with the polymer matrix, and the phase change material temperature regulating layer 13 is obtained by hot pressing. The phase change material temperature regulating layer 13 has a thermal management effect, absorbs heat when the temperature rises, prevents overheating, and improves the comfort and safety of firefighters when working at a fire scene.

[0041] The phase change material is one or more of paraffin compounds, fatty acid compounds, and paraffin / graphene composite materials; the polymer substrate is one or more of polyurethane, silicone, and polyimide. Specifically, the paraffin compound is preferably one or both of n-octadecane and n-eicosane; the fatty acid compound is preferably one or both of lauric acid and palmitic acid. The phase change temperature of the phase change material is 30-40°C, and the phase change enthalpy is 150-250 J / g. It can absorb heat and delay heat transfer in a high temperature environment, thereby improving the thermal management performance of the heat-insulating hood 1.

[0042] The innermost moisture-absorbing and quick-drying cotton layer 14 enhances the comfort of the wearer and ensures safety in high temperature environments. The moisture-absorbing and quick-drying cotton layer 14 has a thickness of 1 to 3 mm and is composed of at least 80% (mass fraction) natural cotton fibers, and the rest is polyester fibers to improve its durability and quick-drying performance. The moisture-absorbing and quick-drying cotton layer 14 is processed by knitting technology, and a microporous structure is formed on the surface to enhance the absorption and evaporation rate of moisture.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the friction layer 31 is composed of a polyimide fiber membrane with a surface static charge of 2 to 15 kV, and has excellent filtering effect, triboelectric properties, and high temperature flame retardant properties. The filtering efficiency of the friction layer 31 is ≥95% (for 0.3 μm particles), the breathing resistance is ≤350 Pa, and the air permeability is ≥200 L / (m 2 ·s).

[0044] Specifically, the friction layer 31 is prepared by centrifugal spinning technology. First, a PAA spinning solution with a solid content of 16-19wt% is prepared and poured into a centrifugal spinning cup. The temperature inside the spinning machine is adjusted to 30-40°C and the humidity is 30-40%RH. The transverse movement rate of the spinning cup is adjusted to 1m / min for reciprocating movement to ensure the uniform collection of the centrifugal spun PAA fiber membrane. The fiber membrane is cut and stacked together to form a predetermined structure, placed in a hot press for hot pressing treatment, and a polyamic acid fiber membrane with a thickness of 100-150μm is formed. It is then placed in a tubular furnace, heated to 300-350°C under the protection of a nitrogen atmosphere, and kept warm for 30-60min for high-temperature imidization treatment, and naturally cooled to room temperature to obtain a polyimide fiber membrane with a surface static of 2-15kV. Appropriate surface static charge can enhance its adsorption capacity for tiny particles in the air, thereby improving filtration efficiency, effectively blocking harmful gases and tiny particles, and ensuring breathing safety. At the same time, the maintenance of surface static electricity can ensure that the friction layer 31 maintains stable triboelectric properties during long-term use.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the electrode layer 32 has two layers, which are respectively placed on the upper and lower surfaces of the friction layer 31. In this way, the gas generated by breathing rubs against the friction layer 31, and the contact and separation between the friction layer 31 and the electrode layer 32 during the breathing process generates a regular breathing electrical signal, thereby monitoring the life of the wearer.

[0046] Specifically, the electrode layer 32 is a conductive metal mesh with a mesh size of 150 to 450, and is made of one or more of copper, iron, nickel, aluminum, and silver. The conductive metal mesh has high conductivity and can effectively capture and transmit physiological electrical signals. The pore size of the metal mesh of 150 to 450 mesh is moderate and can maintain good air permeability. The conductive metal mesh material is resistant to high temperatures and can maintain stable performance in the high temperature environment of the fire scene, and is not easily deformed or damaged. By selecting a suitable conductive metal mesh material, the performance, cost, and reliability of the fire breathing apparatus can be balanced to provide safer and more effective life monitoring and protective equipment.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, there are two exhaust valves 22, which are arranged on both sides of the breathing mask 2. Such an arrangement helps to regulate the air pressure and temperature inside the respirator, ensure comfortable breathing, and prevent harmful gases from the outside from entering.

[0048] In other embodiments of the present application, the number and layout of the exhaust valves 22 can be adjusted according to actual needs as long as they can meet the use requirements, and all of them belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, a strap 5 is also included for making the filtering and vital signal monitoring device 3 close to the breathing mask 2. Such an arrangement makes the installation and removal of the filtering and vital signal monitoring device 3 quick and convenient, and is convenient for cleaning, inspection and maintenance. A protective cape 6 is also provided at the bottom of the heat-insulating hood 1. The protective cape 6 can cover the neck, shoulders and chest of the wearer to provide additional protection, prevent high temperature, flames and sparks from directly contacting the skin, and prevent smoke and dust from entering the respirator. The protective cape 6 can be fully enclosed or segmented, as long as it can meet the use requirements, and all belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0050] When in use, the wearer is at the fire scene, facing high temperature, thick smoke and other harsh environments, resulting in low visibility, breathing difficulties and other problems. The firefighting respirator provided by this application has a flame-retardant and high-temperature resistant filtration system to ensure that the wearer can breathe smoothly. At the same time, the outer layer of the respirator is made of reflective material, which can improve the wearer's visibility in low-visibility environments and enhance the positioning accuracy of rescue personnel. In addition, the respirator also has a life monitoring function. During the wearing process, the gas generated by breathing rubs against the polyimide fiber layer, and the contact and separation between the polyimide fiber layer and the metal mesh during the breathing process, generating a regular breathing electrical signal, thereby monitoring the wearer's life and transmitting vital signs information to the outside world, providing important data support for timely rescue at the fire scene.

[0051] Some specific embodiments are listed below. It should be noted that the embodiments described below are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application. If specific techniques or conditions are not specified in the embodiments, the techniques or conditions described in the literature in this area or the product specifications are used. The reagents or instruments used that do not specify the manufacturer are all conventional products that can be obtained commercially.

[0053] This embodiment provides a flame retardant and high temperature resistant fire fighting breathing apparatus with life monitoring function, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a semi-enclosed heat-insulating hood 1 and a breathing mask 2 connected to the heat-insulating hood 1 and wrapped around the face. The heat-insulating hood 1 includes a flame-retardant reflective layer 11, a polyimide fiber sponge heat-insulating filling layer 12, a phase change material temperature regulating layer 13 and a moisture-absorbing quick-drying cotton layer 14 arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside. A transparent window 21 is arranged in the middle of the breathing mask 2, and an air inlet and an exhaust valve 22 are arranged at the lower part of the breathing mask 2. There are two exhaust valves 22, which are arranged on both sides of the breathing mask 2; the air inlet is connected to the filtering and life signal monitoring device 3, and a friction layer 31 and an electrode layer 32 are arranged in the filtering and life signal monitoring device 3. The fire-fighting respirator also includes a signal collecting and sending device 4 connected to the filtering and life signal monitoring device 3 and a strap 5 for making the filtering and life signal monitoring device 3 close to the breathing mask 2; a protective shawl 6 is also arranged at the bottom of the heat-insulating hood 1.

[0054] Among them, the preparation method of the polyimide fiber sponge thermal insulation filling layer 12 is: prepare a PAA spinning solution with a solid content of 19wt%, and during the centrifugal spinning process, the rotation speed is set to 3000rpm, the spinning temperature is 35°C, the humidity is 35%RH, the spinneret aperture used is 0.25mm, and the distance between the centrifugal spinning cup and the collecting cloth is maintained at 8cm to prepare a polyimide acid fiber sponge with a thickness of 30mm, and then heat it to 300°C in a muffle furnace under a nitrogen atmosphere. After keeping warm for 1 hour, the thermal imidization treatment is completed to obtain a polyimide fiber sponge thermal insulation filling layer 12 for heat insulation.

[0055] The flame retardant reflective layer 11 is made of aluminized polyimide fiber material; the phase change material temperature regulating layer 13 is prepared by using n-eicosane as the phase change material and polyurethane as the base material; the moisture-absorbing quick-drying cotton layer 14 is composed of 85% natural cotton fiber and 15% polyester fiber. The flame retardant reflective layer 11, the polyimide fiber sponge heat insulation filling layer 12, the phase change material temperature regulating layer 13 and the moisture-absorbing quick-drying cotton layer 14 are sequentially bonded and assembled to prepare the heat insulation hood 1.

[0056] The preparation method of the friction layer 31 is as follows: prepare a PAA spinning solution with a solid content of 19wt%, pour it into a centrifugal spinning cup, adjust the temperature inside the spinning machine to 35°C, the humidity to 35%RH, and adjust the lateral movement rate of the spinning cup to 1m / min for reciprocating movement to ensure the uniform collection of the centrifugal spinning PAA fiber membrane. Cut the fiber membrane into a size of 10×10cm, stack them together, put them in a hot press at 60°C and 5MPa for hot pressing for 5min to form a polyamic acid fiber membrane with a thickness of 150μm, then place it in a tubular furnace, heat it to 320°C at a rate of 5°C / min under the protection of a nitrogen atmosphere, and keep it warm for 30min for high-temperature imidization treatment, and naturally cool it to room temperature to obtain a polyimide fiber membrane.

[0057] The electrode layer 32 is a copper mesh with a mesh size of 200. The copper mesh is placed on the upper and lower surfaces of the friction layer 31 and installed in the filtering and life signal monitoring device 3 .

[0058] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the surface static electricity of the polyimide fiber membrane is tested to be 13.8 kV. The prepared filtering and life signal monitoring device 3 has excellent filtering effect, excellent flame retardancy and high temperature resistance, and can effectively protect the wearer from harmful substances in the fire environment, while meeting the need to generate signals by the nano-triboelectric effect. Figure 6 As shown, the respirator can monitor the wearer's breathing signal in real time and transmit it to an external receiving device, thereby improving the safety of personnel at the fire scene.

[0059] Examples 2-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2

[0060] Examples 2-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2 respectively provide a flame retardant and high temperature resistant firefighting respirator with life monitoring function. Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that the thermal imidization treatment temperature in the preparation method of the polyimide fiber sponge insulation filling layer 12 is different, as shown in Table 1, and the rest is roughly the same as Example 1.

[0061] Table 1 Parameters of polyimide fiber sponge insulation filling layer

[0062]

[0063]

[0064] As can be seen from Table 1, the polyimide fiber sponge thermal insulation filling layer 12 of the present application has low thermal conductivity and high thermal insulation performance. When the thermal imidization temperature is 450°C, the gram weight is the smallest, the porosity is the largest, the thermal conductivity is the lowest, and the thermal insulation performance is the best. In Comparative Example 1, due to the low thermal imidization temperature, the sponge was not completely thermally imidized, so the porosity was low, the thermal conductivity was increased, and the thermal insulation effect was poorer than that of Example 1; in Comparative Example 2, due to the high thermal imidization temperature, the sponge was carbonized and shrunk, so the porosity was low, the thermal conductivity was high, and the thermal insulation effect was poor.

Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that the solid content of the PAA spinning solution in the preparation method of the friction layer 31 is different, as shown in Table 2, and the rest is roughly the same as Example 1.

[0067] Table 2 Friction layer parameters

[0068]

[0069] As can be seen from Table 2, the friction layer 31 of the present application has good filtering performance and a stable high surface voltage, which can meet the need to generate triboelectric signals through breathing while ensuring the filtering effect, and also has low breathing resistance, ensuring good air permeability. In Comparative Example 3, due to the low solid content of the spinning solution, the pore size of the fiber membrane is large, the filtering effect is poor, and the surface static electricity is also small; in Comparative Example 4, due to the excessive solid content of the spinning solution, the filtering effect and surface static electricity are reduced, the breathing resistance becomes larger, the air permeability is affected, and the preparation cost increases.

[0070] In summary, the firefighting respirator provided by this application can ensure the safety and efficiency of use in a fire environment. The respirator is made of high-performance materials, has good flame retardant and high temperature resistance, high filtration efficiency, low breathing resistance, strong air permeability, and excellent triboelectric properties. It can meet multiple needs in firefighting applications, and by integrating vital signs monitoring functions, it significantly improves the safety and survival rate of rescuers at the fire scene, and has broad application prospects.
