Study of Thermal Barrier Coating on Fire Fighting Robot
Fire fighting robots to cope with fire are used to support fire fighting activities of firefighters. In the field of fire, the thermal performance test of the fire fighting robot is indispensable as the radiation intensity is high. For this purpose, a thermal barrier material which can be used for heat shielding was selected. Also, the results of the thermal barrier study, which can improve the heat shielding for the fire fighting robots, are presented by evaluating the characteristics of the heat shields of the material. By coating the Ag film on the surface of the robot, heat transmitted to the inside can be shielded, and the thermal barrier effect due to the difference in the thickness of the Ag coating can be seen. It can be seen that a secondary thermal barrier system using an Ag coated insulating box and a heat insulating board capable of protecting the electronic devices of the fire fighting robot at high temperatures and protecting the electronic devices for smooth functioning is efficient. This study is introduced a thermal barrier structure and system that can be used for fire fighting robots.
