[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment proposes a smart fire helmet with detachable accessories, including a helmet shell 1, and further including: bolt and nut structure 2, a face mask 3 for protecting the firefighter's face and eyes, accessory attachment track 4, and several T-shaped adjustable elastic clamps 5. The bolt and nut structure 2 is provided in two sets and is respectively provided on both sides of the helmet shell 1. The face mask 3 is rotatably connected to the outside of the two sets of bolt and nut structures 2. The accessory attachment track 4 is semi-circular and covers the side of the helmet shell 1 away from the face mask 3. The adjustable elastic clamps 5 are slidably connected to the accessory attachment track 4. Each adjustable elastic clamp 5 is provided with a detachable functional module, wherein the detachable functional module is one of a processor module 6, a positioning module 7, an image module 8, a combustible gas detection module 9, and a fall detection module 10.

[0030] The helmet shell 1 is made of high-temperature resistant material, with an internal cushioning layer and comfort padding to reduce external force on the head and protect the firefighter's head safety. The helmet shell 1 is fixed at both ends to the face shield 3 and accessory attachment rails 4 via bolt-nut structure 2. Bolt-nut structure 2 is existing technology, specifically consisting of bolts fixed to the helmet shell 1 and nuts threaded onto the bolts. The nuts fix the face shield 3 and accessory attachment rails 4. The face shield 3 is made of high-temperature resistant and flame-retardant material, with an outward-folding straight-plate design, effectively blocking heat radiation and flying debris (such as sparks and broken glass) in the fire scene, protecting the firefighter's face and eyes from direct injury. When firefighters receive a rescue mission, they can... Different types of services (firefighting and rescue, disaster relief and rescue, and social assistance) require different functional requirements. Different equipment is selected based on these requirements. Taking firefighting and rescue as an example, firefighters select to equip themselves with processor module 6, positioning module 7, image module 8, and combustible gas detection module 9. After firefighters enter the fire scene at the first rescue site, all modules work together to collect information such as on-site image data, environmental data, and firefighter data, and to monitor and issue early warnings. This allows command personnel to view the on-site situation in real time, make scientific and correct commands, improve the scientific nature and effectiveness of decision-making, further enhance the scientific nature of on-site rescue operations, and ensure the safety of firefighters.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above method, further, an arc-shaped groove with openings at both ends is provided on the accessory attachment track 4. The accessory attachment track 4 is closed at the openings at both ends of the arc-shaped groove through the bolt-nut structure 2. The adjustable elastic clamping seat 5 is slidably connected in the arc-shaped groove;

[0032] The arc-shaped accessory attachment track 4 is integrally semi-circular and attached to the helmet shell 1. The arc-shaped groove is a "mouth"-shaped opening structure, and the two ends of the arc-shaped groove remain open. Each module is installed on the helmet shell 1 through the "T"-shaped adjustable elastic clamping seat 5. The two ends of the track play a role in fixing the face mask 3 and keeping the two ends of the open arc-shaped groove relatively closed through the bolt-nut structure 2. Users can combine them according to needs to meet the usage requirements in different scenarios, meet the usage requirements of convenient maintenance and convenient upgrade, and solve the problems of few installed accessories, fixed installation positions, easy detachment after installation, and inconvenience in installation and disassembly of existing fire helmets.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, as a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above method, further, the processor module 6 includes a core processor, a WiFi protocol processor, and a converter. The data transmission method of the processor module 6 adopts the BLE5.3 protocol to realize wireless communication between the processor module 6 and the positioning module 7, the image module 8, the combustible gas detection module 9, and the fall detection module 10;

[0034] The core processor is selected as Nordic nRF5340, which supports the BLE5.3 protocol stack, integrates the DSP instruction set, and supports the sensor fusion algorithm; the WiFi coprocessor is selected as ESP32-C6, which supports the BLE5.3 protocol stack, supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi 6, continuously scans the surrounding WiFi hotspots (SSID, MAC address), records the signal strength (RSSI), constructs an environmental fingerprint database, and matches the real-time RSSI data with the fingerprint database to output the preliminary position coordinates, avoiding interference with BLE communication and meeting the demand for intensive calculation of the fingerprint positioning algorithm; the converter TPS63802 can perform power management in scenarios where high output current and low power consumption are required; the data transmission method uses BLE5.3 for data transmission to ensure wireless transmission, realize complete independence between the processor and the functional modules, facilitate maintenance, replacement, and upgrade. BLE5.3 has low power consumption, can run for a long time without frequent battery replacement, has multi-connection capabilities, and can connect quickly.

[0035] As Figure 1As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the positioning module 7 further includes an indoor positioning unit based on WIFI / PDR fusion, which fuses WIFI positioning and PDR positioning through an extended Kalman filter algorithm; wherein, WIFI positioning uses the signal strength of existing WIFI nodes in the building to calculate the position, and PDR positioning obtains displacement data through inertial sensors and barometers, so as to achieve continuous positioning when the WIFI signal is lost or attenuated.

[0036] This indoor positioning technology employs a fusion of Wi-Fi and PDR. PDR displacement results are used as a prerequisite to filter Wi-Fi location fingerprint positioning results, and then an extended Kalman filter fusion algorithm is used for fusion calculation. This avoids the drawbacks of UWB and RFID, which require base station deployment and are costly. Most buildings have high Wi-Fi node coverage, so terminal devices with Wi-Fi capabilities can calculate their location by receiving signal strength values ​​from nearby fixed Wi-Fi nodes without needing additional positioning equipment. PDR positioning can compensate for the weakening of Wi-Fi signal strength, significantly reduced propagation distance, or Wi-Fi signal loss after passing through buildings, thus achieving continuous positioning. The main sensors for PDR positioning are the IMUBMI270 and the BMP581 barometer. The BMI270 integrates a 16-bit three-axis accelerometer and a 16-bit three-axis gyroscope, supporting 6-axis measurement and boasting ultra-low power consumption. The BMP581 offers high accuracy and low power consumption.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the image module 8 further includes a visible light image sensor, a thermal imaging sensor, and a processor unit for image fusion.

[0038] The main sensors in image module 8 are the OV5640 visible light image sensor and the FLIR Lepton 3.5 thermal imaging sensor. The OV5640 supports still image capture of up to 2592x1944 pixels, meeting the requirements of high-definition video recording, and has a low-power mode to meet usage needs. The FLIR Lepton 3.5 has a thermal sensitivity of less than 50mK, which can accurately identify minute temperature differences, thereby generating clearer and more accurate thermal images. It adopts visible light and infrared image fusion, using the visible light image to provide rich texture and detail information, while the infrared image highlights the characteristics of thermal radiation targets. The processor unit can combine the information collected by the two to generate more informative images, helping to more accurately identify flames and targets, overcoming the limitations of a single image, improving the detection accuracy, robustness and target visibility in complex fire environments, and enhancing global fire scene perception by combining the details of visible light and the temperature information of infrared.

[0039] like Figure 1As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the combustible gas detection module 9 further employs a combustible gas sensor, such as the British Gas Shield UGT-5 sensor and the ACM3000 sensor, to detect combustible gases in the air. The British Gas Shield UGT-5 can simultaneously detect multiple combustible gases such as methane, ethane, propane, benzene, and toluene, and has high sensitivity, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. The ACM3000 is used to detect carbon monoxide gas, with fast response and high sensitivity, and is used to monitor the lower explosive limit concentration in real time and trigger an early warning signal.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the fall detection module 10 further employs a motion processing sensor to detect abnormal postures of firefighters and send alarm signals to the command system via the BLE5.3 protocol. The main sensor of the fall detection module 10 is the MPU6050, which is small in size, low in power consumption, and has high measurement accuracy. It is a 6-axis motion processing sensor that integrates a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer. It can issue alarms to remind firefighters of abnormal falls, ensuring timely response and reducing the probability of accidental injury or death of firefighters.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, this embodiment further proposes a command system, including the above-mentioned detachable smart fire helmet, as well as a background command terminal 11 and a bone conduction headset 12. The bone conduction headset 12 is used to receive instructions sent by the background command terminal 11 to the processor module 6 through the public network / private network.

[0042] The system integrates on-site image collection, environmental information collection, and firefighter information collection through positioning module 7, image module 8, combustible gas detection module 9, and fall detection module 10. Data is processed and transmitted through processor module 6, and real-time monitoring is achieved through back-end command terminal 11 or APP. This reduces the burden on on-site firefighters, facilitates command personnel's decision-making, and enables real-time communication through bone conduction headphones 12, improving the scientific nature and effectiveness of decision-making, achieving early risk warning, and ensuring the safety of firefighters at the scene.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
