[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a radiation protection head and neck cover that is easy to wear, including a head protection part 1, the lower end of the head protection part 1 is integrally formed as a neck protection part 2, the front side of the neck protection part 2 has a neck opening 101 extending to the head protection part 1, a zipper 4 is provided in the neck opening 101, the front surface of the head protection part 1 has a face opening 102, and a face protection part 3 is provided in the face opening 102. Both the head protection part 1 and the neck protection part 2 are made of flexible material.
[0021] It should be noted that the head protection 1 and neck protection 2 can be integrally molded from flexible radiation-proof materials such as lead rubber, mimicking the physiological curves of the head and neck. The neck opening 101 extends along the midline of the front of the neck to the lower end of the head protection 1. The zipper 4 is made of smooth, radiation-resistant metal or special resin and is embedded in the pre-set groove on the edge of the neck opening 101. The face opening 102 is cut to a suitable shape according to the distribution and contour of the facial features. The face protection 3 is made of transparent radiation-proof materials, such as lead glass or radiation-proof acrylic glass, in a shell shape corresponding to the structure of the face. It is installed on the face opening 102 by edge snapping, sewing, or bonding. The integrally molded structure covers the key areas of the head and neck, solving the problems of difficulty in putting on and taking off traditional protective devices and insufficient protective area. The flexible material balances protection and comfort. The neck opening 101, together with the zipper 4, adapts to people of different body types, improving the ease of wearing and fit, and enhancing the overall protective effect.
[0022] Furthermore, the neck protection part 2 has strap buckles 104 on both sides of the outer wall, and a tightening strap 5 is inserted through the two strap buckles 104. The tightening strap 5 has a connecting structure at both ends.
[0023] On both outer walls of the neck protection section 2, corresponding to the mid-neck height, rigid plastic or metal strap buckles 104 are sewn or inlaid. The buckles are ring-shaped or D-ring structure. The tightening straps 5 are made of elastic or adjustable webbing, such as nylon elastic bands or adjustable straps with Velcro. The connection structure at both ends uses Velcro, buckles, or snap fasteners. When wearing the neck protection section 2, the tightening straps 5 are passed through the strap buckles 104 on both sides in sequence, wrapped around the neck, and then fixed by the connection structure. The tightness can be adjusted according to the wearer's neck thickness. This compensates for the neck gap that may occur due to differences in human body shape in the one-piece molded structure. The tightening straps actively adjust the fit, further sealing the radiation leakage path, improving the reliability of protection, and adapting to more body types.
[0024] Furthermore, a connecting strap 105 is integrally provided on the inner wall of the bottom end of the face opening 102, and one end of the connecting strap 105 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the face protection part 3.
[0025] A flexible connecting strip 105 is integrally sewn or glued to the inner wall at the bottom of the face opening 102, along the edge of the opening. The other end of the connecting strip 105 is fixed to the bottom edge of the face protection part 3 by sewing, riveting, or Velcro. This enhances the connection strength between the face protection part 3 and the head protection part 1, preventing displacement of the face protection part 3 due to frequent opening and closing or external impacts, ensuring accurate coverage of the face protection area, and maintaining the stability and continuity of the protective effect.
[0026] Furthermore, the overall shape of the face protection part 3 corresponds to the structure of a human face, and the face protection part 3 is provided with two eye viewing windows 301 corresponding to the eye position.
[0027] The face protection unit 3 is modeled using the average contours of different human faces, and the overall design is shaped into a shell that conforms to the curvature of the face. The eye viewing window 301 is cut out of the face protection unit 3 at the positions corresponding to the eyes to fit the eye shape. It is made of materials with high light transmittance and strong radiation protection performance, such as radiation-shielding glass with lead equivalent. It is installed in the window through methods such as inlay and sealing to ensure clear light transmission and effective radiation shielding. This design resolves the contradiction between face protection and vision obstruction in traditional protective devices. The ergonomic structure improves wearing comfort, and the eye viewing window meets the observation needs in working scenarios, expanding the application of the product in vision-requiring work scenarios such as medical and industrial flaw detection.
[0028] Furthermore, the outer wall of the face protection part 3 is fixedly connected with several symmetrical and evenly distributed connecting limit bands 302, and the outer wall of the head protection part 1 is provided with several connecting parts 103 corresponding one-to-one with the connecting limit bands 302.
[0029] On the outer wall of the face protection unit 3, several connecting and limiting straps 302 are sewn or glued along symmetrical positions such as the forehead and cheekbones. The limiting straps are made of flexible webbing. At corresponding positions on the outer wall of the head protection unit 1, connecting parts 103 are pre-set. The connecting parts can be Velcro, snap fasteners, or sewn ring buckles. When installing the face protection unit 3, the connecting and limiting straps 302 are fastened, glued, or inserted into the connecting parts 103 to form multi-point fixation. Through multi-directional connection and limiting, the problem of easy displacement of the face protection unit relying solely on the bottom connection is avoided, ensuring that the face protection area fits tightly with the head protection unit, sealing possible radiation leakage gaps, improving the overall airtightness of protection, and adapting to different facial contours to enhance versatility.
[0030] Furthermore, both ends of the tightening strap 5 and the corresponding connecting parts 103 and connecting limiting straps 302 are all connected by Velcro.
[0031] The tightening strap 5 has hook and loop fasteners sewn at both ends, and is fixed by the hook and loop fasteners after insertion. The outer wall of the connecting part 103 has a loop fastener sewn on, and the end of the connecting limiting strap 302 has a hook fastener sewn on. When installing the face protection part 3, the hook fastener of the connecting limiting strap 302 is attached to the corresponding loop fastener of the connecting part 103. This reduces the difficulty of wearing and removing the garment, making it especially easy for a single person to quickly put on and take off. The adjustability of the fasteners adapts to the fitting needs of different body types and different ranges of motion, ensuring stable protective effect. At the same time, the fasteners are radiation-resistant and wear-resistant, meeting the long-term use requirements in radiation environments.
[0032] Furthermore, the head protection part 1, neck protection part 2 and face protection part 3 are all embedded with radiation-proof materials and wrapped with a flexible skin-friendly layer on the outside.
[0033] The internal structure incorporates radiation-shielding materials such as lead plates, lead rubber, and radiation-shielding composite materials, while the external structure is wrapped with a flexible, skin-friendly layer such as cotton fabric or silicone-coated cloth. The inner layer is first cut and spliced according to the shape of the head and neck, then fixed into a protective core through sewing and heat pressing. The outer layer is cut to fit the shape of the protective core and encloses it, with edge sewing and binding processes ensuring that the radiation-shielding material is not exposed. Balancing protective performance with wearing comfort, the radiation-shielding material effectively blocks radiation, while the flexible, skin-friendly layer avoids the problems of traditional lead aprons and other protective equipment being too rigid and causing strong skin pressure, improving comfort during extended wear and expanding the product's application in scenarios requiring long-term protection, such as medical surgery and nuclear industry inspections.
[0034] Working principle: In use, the user first unzips the neck opening 101 on the front of the neck protection 2, then slips the head and neck cover over the neck, ensuring the head protection 1 fits snugly against the head and the neck protection 2 covers the neck. Next, the face protection 3 is secured to the head protection 1 via Velcro by the connecting strap 302 on the outer wall, ensuring a precise fit and allowing the eye window 301 to meet visual needs. Then, the neck protection 2 is secured with Velcro by the fastening straps 5 on both sides via buckles 104, ensuring a tight fit and sealing any radiation leaks. This achieves full-area radiation protection and functional adaptation for the head and neck. The gap between the outer wall of the face protection 3 and the face opening 102 allows air to pass through for breathing. For prolonged exposure to radiation, the oxygen supply tube of an external breathing device can be inserted into the head protection 1 through the bottom opening of the neck protection 2, while the fastening strap 5 can be used to simply limit the oxygen supply tube.
[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
