Fire exoskeleton to facilitate the work of the fireman

Abstract

Classification of existing exoskeletons is given, variants of their possible application are considered. The review of fire exoskeletons is presented, their design features are given. Advantages and disadvantages of fire exoskeletons are analyzed. The stability of the robotic device is proved by calculation. The concept of fire exoskeleton-nozzleman to facilitate the work of firefighters is proposed. As a result of computational-analytical and practical researches, the concept of a fire exoskeleton-nozzleman is developed for simplification of operative work of the nozzleman during a fire. Practical application of the exoskeleton-nozzleman firefighter allows to normalize the working conditions of the nozzleman, to release three combat units of the personnel, to increase the efficiency of firefighting.
