Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective clothing technology, and in particular to a shockproof airbag suit. Background Technology

[0002] In fire and rescue operations, firefighters face complex, ever-changing, and dangerous environments. Existing fire suits primarily serve a dual purpose: protecting firefighters from both physical and chemical hazards. On one hand, they effectively prevent physical injuries such as cuts, punctures, and impacts from sharp objects. On the other hand, they also prevent chemical substances from coming into contact with the skin, avoiding injuries caused by such substances. This provides firefighters with a certain level of personal safety protection, enabling them to perform rescue missions in dangerous scenarios such as fire scenes and chemical spill areas.

[0003] However, in actual rescue operations, firefighters inevitably encounter accidents such as falls and slips when navigating complex terrain. When a fall occurs, parts of a firefighter's body, such as the chest, back, buttocks, and knees, are highly susceptible to impact, potentially causing direct injuries such as abrasions, contusions, and fractures. Simultaneously, the rotation or sudden cessation of movement during a fall can lead to indirect injuries such as sprains and muscle strains, severely impacting the firefighter's health and the subsequent rescue efforts.

[0004] Current firefighting suits have significant shortcomings in design and function, and have not yet provided an effective solution to the critical issue of mitigating fall injuries. There are no corresponding technical designs or protective measures in place to mitigate the impact of falls and prevent various injuries resulting from them. This leaves firefighters without sufficient safety guarantees when facing the risk of falls, failing to minimize the damage caused by falls. This is a pressing problem that needs to be solved in ensuring the overall safety of firefighters with existing firefighting protective equipment. Utility Model Content

[0035] It also includes a second airbag 3, which is embedded in the pants body 4 and covers the buttocks and legs of the pants body 4. Knee airbags 31 extend from both ends of the second airbag 3 toward the knees of the pants body 4, and are connected to the second airbag 3. The second airbag 3 is a rectangular airbag, with both ends surrounding the buttocks and legs of the pants body 4. Preferably, the knee airbags 31 are rectangular airbags.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 4 Both the first airbag 1 and the second airbag 3 are equipped with gas cylinders 6; the gas cylinders 6 are nitrogen dioxide cylinders. In this embodiment, there are three gas cylinders 6, with two gas cylinders 6 installed in the first airbag 1, respectively, on the left and right sides of the front chest of the garment body 2. The other gas cylinder 6 is installed in the second airbag 3. A sensing module 7 for detecting a fall is also included, with the gas cylinders 6 electrically connected to the sensing module 7. Specifically, the sensing module 7 integrates a gravity acceleration sensor (not shown) and a gyroscope chip (not shown), which can monitor the human posture in real time. When a fall is detected, the sensing module 7 transmits a signal to a control chip (not shown), triggering the gas cylinder 6 to inflate the first airbag 1 and the second airbag 3, forming a buffer protective layer. The sensing module 7 is a direct application of existing technology, and its working principle will not be described in detail here. The gas cylinders 6 and the sensing module 7 are electrically connected via wires 5.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The garment body 2 has an airbag receiving cavity (not shown) between the outer fabric and the lining fabric. A first airbag 1 is fixed within this cavity. At least one end of the cavity has an opening, which is closed by a webbing fastener (not shown). It also includes at least two elastic fabrics (not shown), folded and assembled between the outer fabric and the lining fabric of the garment body 2.

[0041] When firefighters are on duty, the sensing module 7 monitors the dynamic posture of the human body in real time through an integrated gravity acceleration sensor and gyroscope chip. Once a fall is detected, such as weightlessness, severe impact, or abnormal rotation, the sensing module 7 immediately sends a signal to the control chip, triggering the quick release valve of the gas cylinder 6. Nitrogen dioxide gas is injected into the first airbag 1, the head airbag 11, the second airbag 3, and the knee airbag 31, causing the airbags to inflate rapidly.

[0042] Upper body: The columnar airbags on the chest and back form three-dimensional support, and the head airbag 11 wraps around the head from the neck upwards to cushion the impact on the brain.

[0043] Lower body: The second airbag 3 covers the buttocks and thighs, and the knee airbag 31 expands to the knees simultaneously to form a protective layer for the legs;

[0044] When inflated, the first airbag 1 pushes the folded elastic fabric to unfold, the webbing buckle automatically pops open, the volume of the receiving cavity expands, and the first airbag 1 expands without obstruction;

[0045] Furthermore, the first airbag 1, head airbag 11, second airbag 3, and knee airbag 31 in this solution can be reused. Simply remove the air cylinder 6 to deflate it, and then reinstall the air cylinder 6 with the sensing module 7 to reuse it.
