The central unit periodically reads the values from the sensors and sends them forward, on the other hand, the USB module receives them and sends them through the virtual serial port to an application that receives, interprets and records the data, but also has the settings for selecting the serial port of the USB module and the setting of the limit values , for which a warning or alarm is triggered. When exceeding these values, the user is provided with a clear message that the holder of the intelligent protective cover is in danger.

Description

Predmet izuma je Inteligentno zaščitno pregrinjalo, to je pregrinjalo, sešito iz izolativnega kompozita, ki je sestavljen iz ognjevarnih materialov, od katerih ima vsak od njih svojo karakteristično funkcijo. Posamezni materiali so med seboj zlepljeni s posebnim lepilom, ki prenese visoke temperature v bližini ognjenih zubljev. Inteligentno zaščitno pregrinjalo je pregrinjalo, ki služi kot prevleka preko vseh spodnjih, predvsem gasilskih oblačil in nudi dodatno vrhunsko zaščito v primeru ekstremnih situacij. Uporablja se v situacijah, kjer obstaja nevarnost izpostavitvi visokim temperaturam (npr. gašenje požarov). Pregrinjalo z vgrajenimi izolacijskimi in ognjevarnimi materiali nudi dobro toplotno in protipožarno zaščito, s senzorji pa odjema fizikalne vrednosti ter jih sporoča aplikaciji na osebnem računalniku. V primeru da merjene vrednosti presežejo določene meje, pregrinjalo obvesti uporabnika inteligentnega zaščitnega pregrinjala ter nadzornika aplikacije na morebitno nevarnost.The subject of the invention is the Intelligent Protective Cover, that is, a cover made of an insulating composite consisting of fireproof materials, each of which has its own characteristic function. The individual materials are bonded to each other with a special adhesive that can withstand high temperatures near the fiery teeth. The intelligent protective cover is a cover that serves as a cover over all underwear, especially firefighting garments, and offers extra top protection in the event of extreme situations. It is used in situations where there is a risk of exposure to high temperatures (eg fire fighting). The blanket with built-in insulation and flame retardant materials offers good thermal and fire protection, and with sensors it captures physical values and communicates them to the application on a PC. If the measured values exceed certain limits, the cover informs the user of the intelligent protective cover and the application supervisor of any danger.

Tehnični problem, ki ga izum rešuje, je inteligentno zaščitno oblačilo, ki uporabniku nudi zelo dobro toplotno zaščito in zaščito pred ognjem ter samega uporabnika in posredno nadzornika sistema opozori, kdaj se je potrebno umakniti iz mesta izpostavljenosti. Omenjene lastnosti so dosežene s samo zgradbo oblačila, ki je sestavljeno iz kompozita, izdelanega iz specialnih izolativnih in ognjevarnih materialov ter sistema vgrajene senzorike, ki s pomočjo vgrajenih senzorjev za zaznavanje temperature in vlage zajema signale, nosilca z opozorilnimi signali opozarja na kritične pogoje, signale pa preko vmesnikov posreduje aplikaciji na osebnem računalniku in omogoča spremljanje izpostavljenega na daljavo. Oblačilo s tem posredno preprečuje možnost nastanka situacij, ki bi ogrožale zdravje in življenje nosilca.A technical problem solved by the invention is an intelligent protective garment that provides the user with very good thermal and fire protection and warns the user and indirectly the system supervisor when to withdraw from the exposure site. The aforementioned properties are achieved by the construction of the garment itself, which consists of a composite made of special insulating and fireproof materials and a built-in sensor system, which captures signals with the help of built-in sensors for temperature and humidity sensing. it transmits via the interfaces to the application on a personal computer and allows remote exposure monitoring. Clothing thus indirectly prevents the possibility of situations that would endanger the health and life of the wearer.

Gasilci so pri svojem delu izpostavljeni številnim ekstremnim okoliščinam, kot so visoka temperatura, strupeni plini, gost dim, utesnjenost, težaven dostop do ponesrečencev. Zaradi hitrih akcij reševanja, ki so pri gašenju pomembne, gasilec pogosto ne zazna, kdaj pride do razmer, ki so kritične za njegovo zdravje oziroma celo za preživetje.In their work, firefighters are exposed to a number of extreme circumstances, such as high temperature, toxic gases, dense smoke, constriction, difficult access to casualties. Because of rapid rescue operations that are important in extinguishing, a firefighter often does not detect when conditions are critical to his or her health or even survival.

V primerih izpostavljenosti je pravilno zaščitno oblačilo tisto, ki nudi gasilcu zaščito pred neposrednim ognjem, toplotnim sevanjem, visoko temperaturo, ga s tem obvaruje pred telesnimi poškodbami in kar je še bolj bistveno, obvaruje njegovo življenje. Ker pa pride gasilec v situacijo, ko sam ni več zmožen reagirati, je dobro vzpostaviti sistem spremljanja gasilca na daljavo. Kombinacijo zaščite in spremljanja na daljavo je možno doseči z inteligentnim oblačilom, ki je v osnovi sestavljeno tako, da uporabnika ščiti pred fizikalnimi vplivi okolice, s sistemom vgrajene senzorike pa opozarja uporabnika in nadzornika o nastanku kritičnih razmer pri uporabniku.In cases of exposure, a proper protective clothing is one that provides fire protection with direct fire, heat radiation, high temperature, thus protecting it from bodily injury and, more importantly, protecting its life. However, since a firefighter gets into a situation where he or she is no longer able to react, it is a good idea to establish a remote fire monitoring system. The combination of remote protection and monitoring can be achieved with an intelligent garment that is basically designed to protect the user from the physical effects of the environment, and with a built-in sensor system to alert the user and the supervisor of the occurrence of critical conditions in the user.

The system is based on a plurality of portable wireless transceivers where each firefighter carries one.

Pri naštetih izumih je kombinacija oblačila in senzorjev združena le pri prvem, vendar ne gre za konkretno zaščito v primeru gašenja požara. Vsi ostali izumi opredeljujejo eno izmed rešitev - bodisi da je to brezžični sistem spremljanja uporabnika ali pa zaščitno oblačilo, ki uporabnika ščiti v primeru požara. Naš izum s kombinacijo zaščitnega izolacijskega oblačila in sistemom vgrajene senzorike rešuje oba problema - uporabniku daje dobro zaščito v primeru požara ter omogoča njegov nadzor v času akcije.In the above inventions, the combination of clothing and sensors is only combined in the former, but there is no specific protection in the event of firefighting. All other inventions identify one solution - whether it is a wireless user monitoring system or a protective garment that protects the user in the event of a fire. Our invention, with the combination of a protective insulation garment and a built-in sensor system, solves both problems - giving the user good protection in the event of a fire and enabling his control during the action.

V nadaljevanju je izum opisan na podlagi skice, ki je sestavni del patentne prijave.The invention will now be described on the basis of the drawing, which is an integral part of the patent application.

Inteligentno zaščitno pregrinjalo je v osnovi sestavljeno iz dveh delov. Zgornji del 1 predstavlja vrhnje oblačilo, izdelano iz laminata, ki v jedru vsebuje aerogel, ki ima zelo dobre izolacijske lastnosti in je negorljiv. Laminat je v celoti pet plasten. S spodnje in zgornje strani je na aerogel prilepljena ognjevarna in parapropustna membrana, ki ščiti aerogel in preprečuje prašenje. Membrano s spodnje in zgornje strani obdaja ognjevarna tkanina z zelo dobrimi ognjevarnimi lastnostmi. Zgornji del 1 je krojen s pomočjo krojne slike, oblika kroja omogoča dobro funkcionalnost, istočasno pa dobro zaščito uporabnika pred ognjenimi zublji in visoko temperaturo. Vsi dodatki, uporabljeni pri šivanju inteligentnega zaščitnega pregrinjala oziroma vgrajeni v inteligentno zaščitno pregrinjalo so ognjevarni, tako da inteligentno zaščitno pregrinjalo v celoti ne gori, hkrati pa zaradi vgrajenega aerogela dobro ščiti pred toplotnim sevanjem.The intelligent protective cover is basically made up of two parts. The upper part 1 represents an outer garment made of laminate, which contains an aerogel in the core which has very good insulating properties and is non-combustible. The laminate is fully five layers. A flameproof and vapor permeable membrane is attached to the aerogel from the bottom and top to protect the aerogel and prevent dust. The membrane on the lower and upper sides is surrounded by a flame retardant fabric with very good flame retardant properties. The upper part 1 is cut with the help of a cut-out image, the shape of the cut provides good functionality, while also protecting the wearer from fiery teeth and high temperature. All accessories used in the sewing of the intelligent protective blanket, or incorporated in the intelligent protective blanket, are fireproof, so that the intelligent protective blanket does not burn completely, and at the same time protects against heat radiation due to the built-in aerogel.

Spodnji del 2 ima obliko brezrokavnika, je enoplasten in izdelan iz negorljivega materiala. Ta del je ločen od zgornjega dela 1 zaradi boljše funkcionalnosti samega oblačila in možnosti ločene uporabe enega in drugega dela.The lower part 2 is in the form of a vest, is single layered and made of non-combustible material. This part is separated from the upper part 1 because of the better functionality of the garment itself and the possibility of separate use of one and the other part.

Na notranji strani spodnjega dela 2 je všita elektronika za zaznavnje fizikalnih parametrov (vlažnosti in temperature) in potrebni vmesniki za sporočanje teh parametrov centralni napravi.The inside of the lower part 2 incorporates electronics for sensing physical parameters (humidity and temperature) and the necessary interfaces for communicating these parameters to the central device.

Skupno so na notranji strani spodnjega dela inteligentnega zaščitnega pregrinjala 2 nameščeni štirje kombinirani senzorji temperature in vlage 3, od tega sta dva senzorja locirana na sprednji strani oblačila in dva na hrbtni strani oblačila, tako da skupno tvorijo mrežo senzorjev. Senzorji zagotavljajo podatke o temperaturnem stanju znotraj obleke in o temperaturnih gradientih.In total, four combined temperature and humidity sensors 3 are mounted on the inside of the bottom of the Intelligent Protective Cover 2, two of which are located on the front of the garment and two on the back of the garment to form a sensor network. The sensors provide information on the temperature state within the garment and the temperature gradients.

Senzorji so povezani s centralno enoto 5 za radiofrekvenčnim oddajnikom na izbrani pasovni širini. Centralna enota vsebuje mikrokrmilnik, ki skrbi za odjemanje vrednosti s senzorjev in nadaljno komunikacijo preko radijskega oddajnika. Centralna enota periodično prebira vrednosti s senzorjev in jih pošilja. Te vrednosti so torej štiri temperaturne vrednosti in štiri vrednosti vlažnosti. Na drugi strani jih USB modul sprejme in jih preko navideznega serijskega porta sporoči aplikaciji. USB modul in aplikacija nista sestavni del skice.The sensors are connected to the radio transmitter central unit 5 at the selected bandwidth. The central unit contains a microcontroller, which takes the values from the sensors and communicates further with the radio transmitter. The central unit periodically reads and sends values from the sensors. These values are therefore four temperature values and four humidity values. On the other hand, the USB module accepts them and communicates them to the application via a virtual serial port. The USB module and the application are not part of the sketch.

Na centralno enoto 5 sta povezana tudi svetlobni in zvočni pozivnik 6, ki opozorita nosilca inteligentnega zaščitnega pregrinjala na nevarnost. Pozivnika se sprožita, ko izmerjene vrednosti presežejo izbrane meje. Za napajanje centralne enote skrbi • · · • · napajalnik 4, ki se ga lahko polni s priloženim polnilcem. Nameščen je na bočni strani prednjega dela brezrokavnika.A light and sound pager 6 are also connected to the central unit 5 to alert the wearer of the intelligent protective cover to the danger. The callers are triggered when the measured values exceed the selected limits. The power supply of the central unit is taken care of by the power supply 4, which can be charged with the supplied charger. It is mounted on the side of the front of the vest.

Drugi del sistema, ki ni vgrajen v inteligentno zaščitno pregrinjalo in ni predmet skice izuma predstavlja aplikacija na strani računalnika, ki sprejema poslane podatke preko USB modula, ki se vključi v osebni računalnik. Aplikacija prejema in interpretira senzorske podatke ter jih prikazuje uporabniku. Aplikacija ima nastavitve za izbiro serijskega porta USB modula ter nastavitve mejnih vrednosti, pri katerih se sproži opozorilo ali alarm v aplikaciji. Pri presegu teh vrednosti je nadzorniku posredovano jasno sporočilo, da je uporabnik inteligentnega zaščitnega pregrinjala v nevarnosti. Aplikacija skrbi tudi za logiranje (zapisovanje) dobljenih vrednosti v neko obliko dokumenta na trdem disku računalnika, kar omogoča kasnejši pregled dogodkov in izmerjenih vrednosti.The other part of the system that is not integrated into the intelligent protective cover and is not the subject of the invention is an application on the side of a computer that receives sent data via a USB module which is integrated into the PC. The application receives and interprets sensor data and displays it to the user. The application has settings to select the serial port of the USB module, as well as limit settings that trigger an alert or alarm in the application. When exceeding these values, a clear message is sent to the supervisor that the user of the intelligent protective cover is in danger. The application also takes care of logging (writing) the obtained values in some form of document on the hard disk of the computer, which enables a later review of events and measured values.
