Abstract

Provided is a helmet-type personal disaster relief device which supplies fresh air to a wearer during an evacuation time period upon the occurrence of disasters, and protects the skin of the face, neck and shoulders of the wearer. For this purpose, the helmet-type personal disaster relief device of the present invention comprises a helmet body having an outer shell, an inner shell formed inside the outer shell, and an air storage space formed between the outer shell and the inner shell. to store compressed air; an air inlet port open/shut device arranged at an air inlet port which is formed at the outer shell to inject air into the air storage space; an air outlet port open/shut device which is arranged in an internal space of the helmet body to open/shut an air outlet port for discharging the compressed air stored in the air storage space to the space where the wearer breaths; an air outlet port open/shut device operating device installed in the outer shell to operate the air outlet port open/shut device; and a transparent window formed at the front surface of the outer shell.

Claims

1. A helmet-type personal disaster relief device for supplying air in case of emergency, comprising:

a helmet body having an outer shell, an inner shell formed inside the outer shell, and an air storage space (s) formed between the outer shell and the inner shell to store compressed air;

an air inlet port open/shut device arranged at an air inlet port which is formed at the outer shell to inject air into the air storage space (s);

an air outlet port open/shut device which is arranged in an internal space of the helmet body to open/shut an air outlet port for discharging the compressed air stored in the air storage space (s) to a space (h) where a wearer breaths;

an air outlet port open/shut device operating device installed in the outer shell to operate the air outlet port open/shut device; and

a transparent window formed at the front of the outer shell.

2. The helmet-type personal disaster relief device for supplying air in case of emergency of claim 1, wherein the air inlet port open/shut device is a back flow prevention valve for preventing a back flow of air.

3. The helmet-type personal disaster relief device for supplying air in case of emergency of claim 1, wherein the air outlet port is formed in the inner shell,

the air outlet port open/shut device includes a rotating plate rotatably installed in the inner shell so as to open/shut the air outlet port according to the rotation, and

the air outlet port open/shut device operating device has a lower end connected with the air outlet port open/shut device and includes a rotating shaft having an upper end protruded to an upper portion of the outer shell.

4. The helmet-type personal disaster relief device for supplying air in case of emergency of claim 1, further comprising:

a neck cover formed of a flexible material having elasticity and connected with a lower end of the helmet body so as to surround a neck of a wearer; and

a neck cover tension rope installed in the neck cover so as to control the amount of air discharged through a lower end of the neck cover.

5. The helmet-type personal disaster relief device for supplying air in case of emergency of claim 4, further comprising:

a shoulder cover formed of an insulating and flexible material and connected to the lower end of the neck cover so as to surround a neck and a shoulder of a wearer.

6. The helmet-type personal disaster relief device for supplying air in case of emergency of claim 1, wherein a wireless communication module transmitting a location of the wearer to an external control center and formed to allow a wearer to receive evacuation route information from the external control center is installed in the outer shell.

7. The helmet-type personal disaster relief device for supplying air in case of emergency of claim 6, wherein the wireless communication module is operated together with the air outlet port open/shut device so that the wireless communication module is operated while the air outlet port open/shunt device opens the air outlet port.

8. The helmet-type personal disaster relief device for supplying air in case of emergency of claim 1, wherein the outer shell is provided with an emergency light operated when a fire alarm device installed in a building rings.

9. The helmet-type personal disaster relief device for supplying air in case of emergency of claim 1, wherein the outer shell is provided with a lamp so as to secure a wearer'"'"'s field of vision.

10. The helmet-type personal disaster relief device for supplying air in case of emergency of claim 1, wherein the helmet body is formed of a flexible material and includes an air storage pack formed of a flexible material and forming the air storage space (S).

11. The helmet-type personal disaster relief device for supplying air in case of emergency of claim 1, wherein the compressed air stored in the air storage space (S) is discharged to the breathing space (H) from the air storage space (S) by operating the air outlet port open/shut device to maintain an air pressure of the breathing space (H) so as to be higher than the external air pressure of the helmet body.

12. The helmet-type personal disaster relief device for supplying air in case of emergency of claim 1, wherein the compressed air stored in the air storage space (S) is compressed oxygen.

13. The helmet-type personal disaster relief device for supplying air in case of emergency of claim 1, wherein an inside of the helmet body is further provided with a carbon dioxide absorbing member and a dehumidifying agent.
