Method, system and electronic device for identifying personal protective equipment wear compliance

The application relates to a personal protective equipment wearing compliance identification method and system and electronic equipment. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining a two-dimensional image containing an operator wearing personal protective equipment; identifying the two-dimensional image to generate a human skeleton model and an equipment component model respectively; based on the human skeleton model and the equipment component model, a human-equipment semantic topology graph is constructed through hierarchical constraint solving; and based on a preset compliance constraint library, wearing compliance identification is performed on the human-equipment semantic topology graph to obtain an identification result. The method solves the technical problem that the prior art cannot accurately determine whether correct physical connection and structural topology relationship are formed between equipment components according to safety specifications, and can only identify the 'existence' and 'approximate position' of components, resulting in a high false alarm rate and poor reliability. The method achieves the technical effects of accurately restoring the real wearing structure of the equipment, effectively identifying hidden safety hazards and significantly reducing the false alarm rate and the missed detection rate.

Anti-yellowing high-breathability three-dimensional molded mask and preparation method thereof

This invention discloses an anti-yellowing, highly breathable, three-dimensional molded mask and its preparation method, belonging to the field of personal protective equipment technology. The mask is composed of a surface layer, a middle support layer with a three-dimensional mesh structure, and an inner layer, which are molded together. The edge area of ​​the mask is sealed by directly bonding the surface layer and the inner layer, encapsulating the edges of the sandwich fabric; simultaneously, adhesive penetrates the edge mesh of the middle support layer fabric, wrapping the fiber cross-section to form an anti-yellowing encapsulation layer. This adhesive uses an aliphatic PUR prepolymer as the base resin, compounded with an antioxidant system, ultraviolet absorbers, and physical pore-forming agents to achieve multiple layers of protection. The preparation method of this invention improves breathability by applying a dotted or mesh-like coating to the middle area, and then heat-presses twice to form a mask with a three-dimensional shape. This invention solves the problem of the inability to simultaneously address yellowing resistance, edge itching, and poor breathability, resulting in a three-dimensional mask that combines long-lasting aesthetics, skin-friendly comfort, and high breathability.
