Technical Field
[0001] The present invention is an active air supply type mining protection helmet, which relates to an active air supply type mining protection helmet for underground operation of coal miners. Background Art
[0002] Coal miners are in an environment with a high dust concentration during coal mining operations. If workers are in such an environment for a long time, it is extremely harmful to the lungs and will increase the risk of suffering from pneumoconiosis. At present, underground workers only wear half masks for simple protection. However, the half mask can only cover the mouth and nose, and cannot effectively protect the face and eyes. In addition, there is a feeling of restraint on the worker's face during the wearing process of the half mask, with relatively large breathing resistance and uncomfortable wearing. Moreover, there is a risk of falling coal blocks at the coal mining face at any time. Workers also need to protect their heads when working in such an environment. At present, workers protect their heads by wearing safety helmets. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an active air supply type mining protection helmet, which can not only protect the worker's face and head, but also actively supply air into the helmet.
