Research on comprehensive design model of individual emergency rescue protective clothing
Abstract
At present, in the context of world peace and development, natural disasters, public health and accident disasters have occurred frequently. Individual protective clothing plays a vital role in safeguarding the lives of emergency rescue workers. In this paper, a comprehensive design model of individual emergency rescue protective clothing is constructed. In addition, a concept of protective clothing design effectiveness evaluation is proposed according to the functional requirement design mode. This paper comprehensively integrates needs analysis, functional element establishment, and design element collection and selection. Combined with the results of requirements analysis, the functional requirements elements of emergency rescue protective clothing are formed. After analyzing the relevant protection performance indexes of protective textiles, the functional elements of clothing are classified and analyzed, including style, structure, material, color, craftsmanship and accessories. Functional requirements are effectively combined with elements of clothing design. Thereby, an evaluation index system with functional design elements is established. Then a design effectiveness evaluation model is constructed by the method of fuzzy mathematics. Social network analysis is used to calculate the index weights by Ucinet 6.2 software, and the model is analyzed by several protective clothing commonly used in the market. In practical applications, design elements can be selected according to specific protection requirements and application environments to generate initial design scheme. The design model and evaluation system are combined to construct design system for protective clothing. Finally, the application feasibility of the model is verified by examples, which provides reference value. This paper is instructive to systematize and standardize the design of individual protective clothing. The comprehensive design model proposed in this paper can simplify the existing design process of protective clothing and directly evaluate the design product after the digital design. It can be further expanded to study the functional design of other protective textiles.
