How much do you know about fire boots?

Fire boots are the daily personal protective equipment of firefighters. Put on boots, you can enter the general fire scene and accident scene for fire fighting and rescue work. However, it cannot provide effective protection at the site of chemical accidents involving highly corrosive liquids and gases, highly permeable military agents and biological viruses, and at the site of electrification accidents. It is strictly forbidden to use them in the above-mentioned places.

Form and structure of firefighting boots

Firefighter fire protection boots are mainly composed of two parts: outsole and boot upper. The theme color is mostly black, with yellow bands, welts, etc. The whole boot adopts multi-layer structure.

The boot is equipped with a steel toe cap to improve the anti-smashing performance. Inside and outside the steel toe cap, there are insulating rubber layer, sponge comfort layer, insulating paper, foam comfort layer and cotton wool cloth lining, etc., which not only has insulating shoes but also makes wearing comfortable.

The outsole is equipped with a steel midsole to improve puncture resistance. On the upper and lower sides of the steel midsole, there are rubber insulation layers, insulating paper, foam comfort layer and cotton wool cloth lining, etc., and the outsole has ribs to prevent slippage.

From the boot surface to the bottom of the barrel mouth, a sponge layer is added between the rubber layer and the cotton wool lining, which has good insulating shoes, flame retardancy and heat insulation, and can effectively improve the comfort of wearing.

The product logo is printed on the right side of the boot tube, which contains information about the manufacturer, main functions, and adopted standards.

Quickly release the features of zipper system, bow support system, correction system, shock absorption system, identity recognition, etc. The above-mentioned functional and intelligent designs not only improve the wearing comfort of firefighters and the efficiency of firefighters in firefighting and rescue operations, but also help reduce the casualty rate of firefighters. This is an important direction for the design of firefighters in my country in the future. .

The structural improvement design is mainly reflected in the soles, insoles and other parts, which are widely used in the design of sports shoes. Common shock-absorbing structures, such as shoe sole air cushion design, can effectively absorb the impact of the foot and reduce the injury to the foot during sports or special work. The functionality of the shoe can also be improved by improving the upper structure.

In the process of fire fighting and rescue, firefighters will have some jumping, parachuting and other behaviors. In order to reduce the casualties caused by these factors, when designing fire protection boots, we can learn from the design methods of the shock absorption structure of sports shoes and other bottom parts.

In addition, by improving the pattern form, width, depth and direction of the sole, the anti-skid performance of firefighting boots can be improved. A convex structure is designed on the back and front bend of the fire boots to reduce the impact of falling objects on the feet and improve the anti-smashing performance of the fire boots.
