Abstract
Description
Technical area
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of protective clothing, in particular to cooling protective clothing made of phase change material. Background technology
[0002] In high-temperature working environments, workers are vulnerable to heatstroke, dehydration, and other problems due to high temperatures. To ensure the safety and health of workers in a given environment, protective clothing is required for protection. However, in high-temperature environments, it is difficult to provide effective cooling, and the wearer's comfort cannot be effectively maintained. This can easily lead to an increased risk of heat stress and heatstroke and cannot meet the demands of working in extreme environments.
[0003] Most existing cooling technologies rely on the breathability of materials or external cooling devices, which have limited effectiveness and are not portable. Phase-change materials exhibit phase-change characteristics at a certain temperature, absorbing or releasing a large amount of heat. They can effectively regulate temperature and have emerged as a potential solution for improving the performance of protective clothing. Therefore, in response to these existing problems, we propose protective clothing with phase-change materials to solve the above-mentioned problems. Contents of the utility model
[0004] In response to the above-mentioned situation, the present utility model overcomes the current technical deficiencies and provides protective clothing with phase-change materials that can improve the cooling effect and is suitable for personnel working in high-temperature environments. The protective clothing can dynamically regulate temperature to improve the wearer's comfort and safety.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows: The phase-change material cooling protective clothing provided by this solution comprises a cooling protective clothing body having a multi-layer structure. The outer layer of the cooling protective clothing body is made of a waterproof polymer layered with a waterproof and breathable layer made of a breathable composite material. The lower layer of the waterproof and breathable layer is provided with a phase-change material cooling layer made of microencapsulated paraffin polymer, which is provided with a breathable and comfortable moisture-absorbing cotton layer infused with silver fibers for antibacterial and odor-inhibiting effects.
[0006] To improve the breathability of the user's sweat-prone parts, the armpits and back of the cooling protective clothing body are designed with breathable mesh layers with breathable holes.
[0007] In order to improve the wear resistance of this protective clothing, the two ends of the body of the cooling protective clothing are connected with sleeves, and the elbows and cuffs of the sleeves are sewn with a wear-resistant protective cloth made of heat-resistant polyester.
[0008] To improve the comfort of wearing the protective clothing, an elastic waistband is provided at the lower end of the body of the cooling protective clothing.
[0009] The beneficial effects achieved by the utility model by adopting the above structure are as follows: The utility model features a cooling protective clothing made of phase change material. The waterproof and breathable layer makes the cooling protective clothing resistant to splashing and waterproofing in daily life. The added cooling layer made of phase change material absorbs heat and undergoes phase change to lower the wearer's body surface temperature. When the ambient temperature exceeds the melting point of the phase change material, the stored heat is released to provide a suitable temperature for the wearer. The moisture-absorbing cotton layer adds silver fiber to the layer and the moisture-absorbing cotton layer, which can provide good comfort for the user and have effective antibacterial and anti-odor effects.

[0012] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model are described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, but not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments that a person of ordinary skill in the art can derive without creative effort fall within the scope of the present utility model.
[0013] Please note that the words "front," "back," "left," "right," "top," and "bottom" used in the following description refer to the directions in the drawings. The words "inside" and "outside" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a particular component.
[0014] As in the Fig.As shown, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: The phase-change material cooling protective clothing provided by this solution comprises a cooling protective clothing body 1 having a multi-layer structure. The outer layer of the cooling protective clothing body 1 is a waterproof and breathable layer 2 made of a waterproof, breathable polymer composite. The lower layer of the waterproof, breathable layer 2 is provided with a phase-change material cooling layer 3 made of microencapsulated paraffin polymer. The lower layer of the phase-change material cooling layer 3 is provided with a breathable and comfortable moisture-absorbing cotton layer 4. The moisture-absorbing cotton layer 4 is provided with silver fibers for antibacterial and odor-inhibiting properties. The body 1 of the cooling protective clothing is provided with a breathable mesh layer 5 with ventilation holes at the armpits and back.The body of the cooling protective clothing 1 is connected to sleeves 6 at both ends. The elbows and cuffs of the sleeves 6 are provided with wear-resistant protective fabric made of heat-resistant polyester 7. The lower end of the cooling protective clothing body 1 is provided with an elastic waistband 8.
[0015] When used specifically, the waterproof and breathable layer 2 can protect the cooling protective clothing from daily splashes and provide waterproof protection. The cooling layer 3 made of phase change material can absorb heat and undergo phase change. When the ambient temperature exceeds the melting point of the phase change material, thereby lowering the wearer's body surface temperature, the phase change material releases the stored heat, allowing the cooling protective clothing to provide the wearer with an appropriate temperature. It is added to the moisture-absorbing cotton layer 4. It can ensure the user's breathability and comfort, as well as antibacterial and anti-odor effects. The wear-resistant protective cloth 7 can improve the wearability of the cooling protective clothing.
[0016] It should be noted that the present utility model and its embodiments have been described above, and this description is not limiting. What is shown in the drawings is only one embodiment of the utility model, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person with ordinary skill in the art is inspired by the utility model and, without deviating from the creative purpose of the utility model, can design a structural method and embodiment similar to the technical solution without creativity, they all fall within the scope of protection.
