Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to fire protection equipment, and in particular to a fire protection device based on separation technology. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous advancement of IoT technology and the development of chip technology, wearable devices have become a trend in the application of personal protective equipment for firefighters. Among these, smart fire rescue helmets have emerged. These helmets typically combine the functions of sensing information about the fire scene environment and protecting the head. They include integrated cameras, toxic and harmful gas detectors, temperature detection, thermal imaging, and other environmental sensing functions, as well as wearable devices equipped with communication modules, head-mounted displays, and microcomputers.

[0003] Firefighting and rescue is an unpredictable rescue activity in a complex environment. All equipment should take into account the rescue environment of firefighters and the convenience of use. In particular, freeing up firefighters' hands and reducing the weight of equipment should be the primary considerations.

[0004] Currently, most helmet-mounted infrared thermal imagers on the market are externally mounted, meaning the device is fixed to the outside of the helmet. This design, where the device is always fixed to the outside of the firefighter's helmet, has several drawbacks:

[0005] 1. It is not conducive to firefighting operations or running and jumping, and it is easy to bump into or scratch surrounding debris;

[0006] 2. Because the device is placed outside the helmet, it is more susceptible to damage from high temperatures and water, which greatly limits its application scenarios.

[0007] 3. Drilling holes in the helmet and fixing various parts to the outside of the helmet with screws is not only troublesome to install, but it can only be installed on specific types of helmets and may also compromise the helmet's safety. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the shortcomings of the existing technical solutions, this utility model provides a fire-fighting device based on separation technology.

[0009] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0010] A firefighting device based on separation technology includes a fire helmet and a thermal imager, wherein the thermal imager includes a camera unit and a processing unit; the firefighting device also includes:

[0011] A headband and an adjustment unit, the headband being adapted to be worn on the head of a firefighter, the two ends of the headband being connected to the adjustment unit, the adjustment unit being used to adjust the distance between the two ends;

[0012] The display unit is fixed to the front side of the headband and mounted on the pivot; the display unit is connected to the processing unit.

[0013] The camera unit is fixed to the front side of the headband and positioned above the display unit; the processing unit and the battery are fixed to the left and right sides of the headband, respectively, and the battery is electrically connected to the processing unit and the camera unit.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This patent employs a separation technology, that is, separating the imaging and display components from the fire helmet, and no longer fixing all the components to the fire helmet, achieving the following technical effects.

[0016] 1. Good versatility;

[0017] No modifications to the fire helmet are required, such as no need to drill holes in the helmet to install parts. It is suitable for almost all helmets and preserves the integrity of the helmet.

[0018] 2. High safety;

[0019] Thermal imaging, display units and other components are all securely fixed to the headband and located inside the helmet. These components will not be scratched or collided with the outside world, thus improving safety.

[0020] 3. Easy to use;

[0021] When using it, first put on the head strap (which secures the thermal imaging, display unit, battery, and other components), then put on the helmet; it's convenient and quick.

[0022] 4. Good comfort;

[0023] The battery, display unit, processing unit, and adjustment unit are evenly distributed on the headband, improving wearing comfort. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the following optional embodiments, but is defined only by the claims and their equivalents.

[0028] Example 1.

[0029] The fire-fighting device based on separation technology in Embodiment 1 of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes:

[0030] The fire helmet 11 and the thermal imager, the thermal imager including a camera unit 41 and a processing unit 42.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the headband 31 is adapted to be worn on the head of a firefighter. Adjustment units 32 are connected to both ends of the headband 31, and the adjustment units 32 are used to adjust the distance between the two ends, thereby adapting the headband to different firefighters. The camera unit 41 is fixed to the front side of the headband 31 and is positioned above the display unit 43.

[0032] The display unit 43 is fixed to the front side of the headband 31 and is mounted on the pivot; the display unit 43 is connected to the processing unit 42.

[0033] The processing unit 42 and the battery 44 are respectively fixed to the left and right sides of the headband 31, and the battery 44 is electrically connected to the processing unit 42 and the camera unit 41.

[0034] The projections of the headband 31, thermal imager, battery 44, and display unit 43 onto the plane fall entirely within the projection of the helmet 11 onto the plane, which is perpendicular to the central axis of the helmet 11.

[0035] To facilitate adjustment of the headband 31, the adjustment unit 32 is a knob-type adjustment mechanism and is located on the rear side of the headband 31.

[0036] When firefighters are conducting fire rescue operations, components such as the imaging device, battery, and display unit are fixed to the headband. The firefighters wear the headband and adjust the tightness using the adjustment unit to secure the above components to their heads, and then put on their helmets.

[0037] Rotate the display unit to enter observation mode and conduct fire scene environmental observation.

[0038] After the observation is completed, when fire rescue operations need to be carried out, the display unit can be rotated to move it out of the firefighters' field of vision to conduct the rescue.
