Abstract

The main objective of this research was to develop smart trousers for paraplegic wheelchair users to improve the thermal comfort of their lower extremities when exposed to cold environments. In this part of the research, a test prototype of smart heating trousers was developed and tested on the thermal manikin. The development of the test prototype of the smart heating trousers is based on the design recommendations explored in the first part of this paper. The design recommendations relate both to the development of a trousers pattern design for the sitting posture of wheelchair users and the possibility of integrating electrical components into the trouser design, as well as the development of a smart heating system that provides safety for the wearer of the trousers. The results of this part of the research show that the developed smart heating trousers can improve the thermal insulation of the legs and the thermal comfort of the wearer. This is ensured by a carefully planned and safe algorithm that automatically regulates the temperature of the microclimate inside the trousers.

为截瘫轮椅使用者开发智能裤子的调查。第 2 部分 - 智能加热裤测试原型的开发

这项研究的主要目的是为截瘫轮椅使用者开发智能长裤，以改善他们在寒冷环境中下肢的热舒适度。在这部分研究中，开发了智能加热裤的测试原型，并在热敏人体模型上进行了测试。智能加热裤测试原型的开发基于本文第一部分探讨的设计建议。这些设计建议既涉及针对轮椅使用者坐姿的裤型设计开发，也涉及将电气元件集成到裤子设计中的可能性，还涉及为裤子穿着者提供安全保障的智能加热系统的开发。这部分研究的结果表明，所开发的智能加热裤可以改善腿部的隔热性能和穿着者的热舒适度。这得益于一种精心设计的安全算法，它能自动调节裤内微气候的温度。
