Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of safety management equipment technology, specifically a 5G smart safety helmet expansion module. Background Technology

[0002] The rapid development of technologies such as 5G, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI) has provided solid technical support for the development of smart safety helmet expansion modules. Furthermore, various industries are increasingly prioritizing operational safety, especially in high-risk sectors like construction, mining, and power, where higher demands are being placed on personnel safety management and monitoring. This has spurred market demand for more intelligent and comprehensive safety equipment.

[0003] Currently, ground command and safety supervisors primarily rely on walkie-talkies to communicate with high-altitude operators. However, information asymmetry caused by blind spots on the ground and delayed command signal transmission severely restrict operational efficiency and safety. 5G private networks, through independent networking and physical isolation, ensure data remains within the network and perfectly adapt to graded protection and secondary power protection requirements, providing a safe and reliable communication environment for production operations. However, existing smart helmets have fixed module designs, lacking flexibility and failing to meet the complex and ever-changing needs of nuclear power plants.

[0004] Lifting operations during nuclear power plant maintenance are frequent and complex. Currently, ground command and safety supervisors primarily communicate with aerial operators via walkie-talkies. However, blind spots for ground personnel lead to information asymmetry and delayed signal transmission, severely impacting operational efficiency and safety. Furthermore, the high noise levels at work sites limit the information received by operators, increasing operational risks. More importantly, stringent nuclear power safety requirements prohibit the use of walkie-talkies in electromagnetically sensitive areas of the nuclear island, rendering traditional wireless communication methods inadequate. While workers need to use voice-activated telephones during fuel transfers, the telephone lines are tens of meters long, posing significant safety hazards as workers move and climb within the nuclear island building.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a safer and more flexible communication solution that incorporates 5G private network technology to improve the operational efficiency and overall safety of nuclear power plants. Utility Model Content
