The main problems of the common mask are as follows: unsmooth breathing and insufficient safety protection performance. The reasons for insufficient safety protection performance are: the edges of the mask seal against the skin and the mask does not protect the eyes and other surfaces/head. On the other hand, some high-grade protective clothing can ensure smooth breathing while playing a role of safety protection, however, the protective clothing is expensive, and is troublesome to use and wear.
The utility model discloses consider the advantage and the shortcoming of gauze mask and protective clothing, provide a safe and reliable, use and dress the convenience, breathe unobstructed protection hood, can be used to satisfy extensive most of demands including civilian and the occasion of doctorsing and nurses.
According to the utility model discloses an embodiment provides a protection hood, can seal well, breathes unobstructed, effectively improves travelling comfort and the security that the user used.
According to an embodiment of the utility model, provide a protection hood, include:

Thus, the protective hood adopts a totally enclosed design, so that the all-round protection of the part above the shoulder of a person is realized, and the flexible hood main body can adapt to different head types of users. The front opening part of the front face of the hood is sealed through a transparent mask, a wide visual field is provided for a user, and the lower opening below the neck of the hood is tightened or loosened through the annular sleeve of the neck sleeve assembly, so that the sealing effect is achieved. The effective area of the filter element (including the filter screen, for example) of the air filter is larger than 250 square centimeters, so that the effective ventilation area is large enough, the smooth breathing can be ensured while the pressure difference between the inner pressure and the outer pressure is small, and the filter screen is easy to replace (different grades of filter screens can be selected according to requirements). The ventilation system of the hood may be optimized aerodynamically for smooth air circulation to improve the user's protective breathing.
In addition, dispose the air guide subassembly in the hood and can further improve the breathing situation, but the user's mouth nose that covers through the air guide cover directly communicates in air filter, forms local comfortable breathing environment for inside breathing air is more unobstructed with external exchange, breathes more easily.
In addition, through the protection hood is with replacing current medical gauze mask, the user need not tighten the gauze mask bandage for strictly preventing the infiltration of bacterium (this often can cause the ear back or face excessively to receive the force or rub and damage), not only improves user comfort level, avoids unnecessary user injury moreover. It should be noted that the air guide cover fastened to the nose and mouth of the user is mainly used to further improve the local breathing environment of the user (as mentioned above), and the edge seal of the air guide cover is not strictly required to fasten the skin of the user, so that the damage to the skin of the user can be significantly reduced.
