Their core protective requirements adhere to the principles of safety first and prevention foremost, and strictly comply with relevant national and industry standards.
[0003] The safety requirements mainly include electrical safety and physical and mechanical protection. Work clothes are required to have properties such as arc protection, flame retardancy, static electricity protection, and abrasion and tear resistance. Functional and environmental adaptability requirements require work clothes to have certain climate adaptability and functional design, such as breathability and sweat wicking, warmth and sun protection, multi-functional pockets, and conspicuous identification.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an outdoor wet-heat suit to meet the outdoor work needs of frontline power grid workers. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an outdoor wet-weather suit to meet the outdoor work needs of frontline power grid workers.
[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] Outdoor wet-weather clothing, including:
[0008] The top has a knitted fabric for the armpits and back, which has a one-way moisture-wicking function. The rest of the top has a woven fabric, which has a flame-retardant function. The elbows of the top are made of double-layered woven fabric and sewn with a diamond pattern. The sleeves and waist of the top are equipped with reflective warning strips.
[0009] The pants are made of the woven fabric. The knees, hips and crotch of the pants are made of double-layered woven fabric and sewn with a diamond pattern. The back waist of the pants is a high-waisted design. The pant legs are provided with the reflective warning strip.
[0010] Optionally, the knitted fabric is a moisture-wicking polyester fabric or a cotton blend fabric that has undergone unidirectional moisture-wicking treatment, and the woven fabric is an aramid fabric or a flame-retardant viscose fabric.
[0011] Optionally, the sleeve of the garment is provided with an arm pocket, and the opening edge of the arm pocket is provided with a pocket loop.
[0012] Optionally, the sleeves of the garment are provided with arm pockets, which are open pockets.
[0013] Optionally, the sleeve of the garment is further provided with a pen holder structure, which is configured to hold a pen.
[0014] Optionally, the sleeve is provided with an adjustable cuff loop, which is configured to adjust the tightness of the sleeve cuff.
[0015] Optionally, the trouser leg is provided with an adjustable loop at the hem, the adjustable loop being configured to adjust the tightness of the trouser leg hem.
[0016] Optionally, the collar of the garment is a stand-up collar structure, and a collar base is also provided inside the collar.
[0017] Optionally, the garment features a placket design, which is opened and closed by a zipper.
[0018] Optionally, adjustable Velcro straps are provided on both sides of the waistband of the lower back.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0020] This invention provides an outdoor thermal suit. The underarm and back areas of the jacket are made of knitted fabric, providing excellent elasticity and softness for these areas, making them more comfortable for workers, especially during extended periods of wear. This prevents discomfort from hindering normal work. The knitted fabric has a one-way moisture-wicking function, helping to quickly wick away sweat and keep the worker dry, reducing sticky discomfort and further improving the jacket's comfort. The remaining parts of the jacket and trousers are made of woven fabric. The tensile strength and abrasion resistance of woven fabric make the jacket and trousers less susceptible to damage from friction or impact, effectively improving their durability and longevity. This suits the high-intensity work of power grid workers, such as climbing utility poles or operating electrical equipment. Woven fabrics possess flame-retardant properties. For power grid workers operating in high-temperature environments, especially in summer or near high-voltage equipment, flame-retardant woven fabrics not only prevent fires but also improve their tolerance to high temperatures. Simultaneously, flame-retardant woven fabrics can mitigate the direct harm of high temperatures to the body, reducing discomfort or burns caused by thermal stress. In the event of a fire, flame-retardant woven fabrics can rapidly slow the rate of combustion; some high-end flame-retardant fabrics can even self-extinguish upon exposure to a fire source, thus reducing harm to workers. The elbows of the jacket, and the knees, hips, and crotch of the trousers, are all made of double-layered woven fabric with a diamond-pattern stitching technique. The double-layered fabric structure enhances the local abrasion resistance and tear resistance of these areas, extending the lifespan of the jacket and trousers. The diamond-pattern stitching effectively distributes stress, preventing localized bulging or shifting of the fabric in damp environments, maintaining good breathability and structural stability while ensuring abrasion resistance. Reflective warning strips are installed on the sleeves and waist of the jacket and the legs of the trousers. The reflective warning strips in the aforementioned areas significantly improve the visibility of workers at night or in low-light environments, further enhancing their safety. These strips also help workers be spotted promptly during nighttime work in emergencies, reducing the risk of accidents. The high-waisted design of the trousers effectively prevents the lower back from being exposed when workers bend or squat, avoiding direct skin contact with the external environment or equipment, providing more comprehensive waist coverage and protection, and reducing lower back discomfort caused by large movements.

[0031] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this invention provides an outdoor thermal underwear, including a jacket 1 and trousers 2. The underarm area 11 and back area 12 of the jacket 1 are made of knitted fabric, which has a one-way moisture-wicking function. The remaining parts of the jacket 1 are made of woven fabric, which has flame-retardant properties. The elbows 13 of the jacket 1 are made of double-layered woven fabric and sewn using a diamond-pattern stitching process. Reflective warning strips 16 are provided on the sleeves 14 and waist 15 of the jacket 1. The trousers 2 are made of woven fabric, and the knees 21, hips 22, and crotch 23 of the trousers 2 are all made of double-layered woven fabric and sewn using a diamond-pattern stitching process. The back waist 24 of the trousers 2 has a high-waisted design, and reflective warning strips 16 are provided on the trouser legs 25.
[0033] Specifically, the armpit area 11 and back area 12 of the top 1 are made of knitted fabric, giving them good elasticity and softness, making them more comfortable for workers, especially when they need to wear them for extended periods, preventing discomfort from affecting their normal work. Furthermore, the knitted fabric has a one-way moisture-wicking function, helping to quickly wick away sweat, keeping workers dry and reducing sticky discomfort caused by sweat, further improving the comfort of the top 1. The rest of the top 1 and the trousers 2 are made of woven fabric. The tensile strength and abrasion resistance of the woven fabric make the top 1 and trousers 2 less prone to damage from friction or impact, effectively improving their durability and longevity, suitable for the high-intensity work of power grid workers, such as climbing utility poles or operating electrical equipment. It is understood that the woven fabric in this embodiment uses a lighter weight material, ensuring abrasion resistance while maximizing breathability to meet the needs of workers in hot and humid environments. Furthermore, woven fabrics possess flame-retardant properties. For power grid workers operating in high-temperature environments, especially in summer or near high-voltage equipment, flame-retardant woven fabrics not only prevent fires but also improve their tolerance to high temperatures. Simultaneously, flame-retardant woven fabrics can mitigate the direct harm of high temperatures to the body, reducing discomfort or burns caused by thermal stress. In the event of a fire, flame-retardant woven fabrics can rapidly slow the rate of combustion; some high-end flame-retardant fabrics can even self-extinguish upon exposure to a fire source, thereby reducing harm to workers.
[0034] The elbows 13 of the jacket 1, and the knees 21, hips 22, and crotch 23 of the trousers 2 are all made of double-layered woven fabric and sewn with a diamond-pattern stitching process. The double-layered fabric structure improves the local abrasion resistance and tear resistance of the above-mentioned areas, thereby extending the service life of the jacket 1 and trousers 2. The diamond-pattern stitching effectively distributes stress and prevents the fabric from bulging or shifting in a humid environment, maintaining good breathability and structural stability while being abrasion-resistant. Reflective warning strips 16 are provided on the sleeves 14 and waist 15 of the jacket 1 and the trouser legs 25 of the trousers 2. The reflective warning strips 16 in the above-mentioned areas can significantly improve the visibility of workers at night or in low-light environments, further improving the safety of workers. The reflective warning strips 16 can also help workers be spotted in time when working at night in emergency situations, reducing the risk of accidents. It is understandable that the use of reflective materials should take into account the functionality and aesthetics of outdoor wet-weather clothing, ensuring that the design of the reflective warning strips 16 is reasonable and effective without affecting the comfort and practicality of the outdoor wet-weather clothing. The high-waisted design of the back waistband 24 of the pants 2 effectively prevents the lower back area from being exposed when staff bend over or squat, avoiding direct skin contact with the external environment or equipment, providing more comprehensive waist coverage and protection, and reducing lower back discomfort caused by large movements.
[0035] For example, the knitted fabric is a moisture-wicking polyester or cotton blend that has undergone a one-way moisture-wicking treatment, while the woven fabric is an aramid or flame-retardant viscose. The moisture-wicking polyester or cotton blend has excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties and stable chemical properties, ensuring the reliability and durability of the one-way moisture-wicking function and enabling more efficient regulation of the microclimate within the outdoor wet-wet clothing. The aramid fabric itself possesses excellent properties such as permanent flame retardancy, high-temperature resistance, and arc resistance, while the flame-retardant viscose offers good comfort and flame retardancy. The use of aramid or flame-retardant viscose fabrics in the woven fabric section ensures that the woven fabric portion meets the stringent electrical safety and flame-retardant mandatory standards for power grid operations, providing fundamental safety assurance for the outdoor wet-wet clothing.
[0036] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sleeve 14 of the upper garment 1 is equipped with an arm pocket 141, and the opening edge of the arm pocket 141 is provided with a loop 142. The arm pocket 141 provides storage space or hanging points for tools, equipment, or other necessary work materials needed by the worker during operation, allowing the worker to maintain hand dexterity and concentration while working at heights, greatly improving the convenience and safety of the worker's work, reducing unnecessary searching and adjustments during high-altitude operations, and enhancing worker safety. The loop 142 on the opening edge of the arm pocket 141 allows the worker to use the arm pocket 141 with one hand, further improving the ease of wearing outdoor wet-weather clothing.
[0037] In another embodiment, the sleeves 14 of the jacket 1 are provided with arm pockets 141, which are open pockets. The open pocket design allows longer tools, such as wrenches and test pens, to be inserted or removed from both ends, making operation faster. At the same time, the open pocket can improve the breathability of the sleeves 14. It is understood that both sleeves 14 of the jacket 1 are provided with arm pockets 141, one of which is an open pocket, to improve the functional adaptability of outdoor wet and hot clothing.
[0038] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sleeve 14 of the jacket 1 is also equipped with a pen holder structure 143, which is configured to hold a pen. The pen holder structure 143 can securely fix the pen to the sleeve 14, preventing the pen from rolling in the pocket, being lost, or being damaged by other tools. This allows staff to record data or make markings at any time, improving work efficiency and the organization of item management. The pen holder structure 143 can be a slip pocket type or a flap type, etc., and is not specifically limited here.
[0039] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cuff of sleeve 14 is provided with an adjustable cuff loop 144, which is configured to adjust the tightness of the cuff. The adjustable cuff loop 144 allows workers to flexibly tighten or loosen the cuff according to their wrist size, the thickness of their inner clothing, or the needs of their work, preventing cold air, insects, dust, or small debris from entering. It also reduces the risk of the cuff being caught on equipment during specific operations, improving the protective adaptability and safety of the garment 1. Exemplarily, the adjustable cuff loop 144 can be adjusted with buttons or Velcro; no specific limitation is made here.
[0040] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the collar 17 of the jacket 1 is a stand-up collar structure, and a collar base is also provided inside the collar 17. The stand-up collar structure can provide extra protection for the worker's neck, such as sun protection, protection against minor scratches, or protection against mosquitoes. The built-in collar base can maintain the crisp shape of the collar 17 and prevent the collar from collapsing due to sweat or repeated wear.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the jacket 1 features a placket design, which opens and closes via a zipper 18. This placket design facilitates dressing and undressing for staff. The zipper 18 opens and closes faster than buttons or Velcro, allowing for quick dressing and undressing in emergencies. The zipper 18 also closes more smoothly and securely, effectively preventing wind from entering through the placket and reducing the risk of accidental opening due to scratches.
[0042] For example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, adjustable Velcro 241 is provided on both sides of the waistband of the back waist 24. The adjustable Velcro 241 allows the worker to easily adjust the waist size according to their own body shape and inner clothing, so as to achieve a personalized fit and avoid affecting the comfort and flexibility of work due to being too tight or too loose. Compared with the fixed waist belt hole, it is more convenient and has a more flexible adjustment range.
[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the trouser leg 25 has an adjustable loop 251 at the cuff, which is configured to adjust the tightness of the cuff. The adjustable loop 251 allows workers to tighten the cuff, effectively preventing foreign objects such as sand, weeds, and insects from entering the trouser leg and protecting the lower limbs. It also allows for better compatibility with work boots of different heights, making the attire more streamlined and preventing the cuffs from dragging on the ground, causing abrasion or tripping risks. For example, the adjustable loop 251 can be adjusted with buttons or Velcro; no specific limitation is made here.
[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
