In the design of modern protective equipment, armored shields not only need to provide excellent protection performance, but also need to pay attention to user comfort, among which noise control is an indispensable aspect. Excessive noise will not only affect the wearer’s hearing health, but may also interfere with their concentration during combat or work. Here are some technical measures to effectively control the noise of armored shields.
Firstly, the choice of materials is essential. The use of materials with quiet properties forms the basis of noise reduction. For example, some polymer materials have good sound absorption and insulation properties and can effectively absorb and insulate noise. At the same time, care should be taken when choosing metal materials to avoid using materials prone to resonance or noise, or to reduce their noise level through special treatments (such as damping coatings).
Second, structural optimization is equally important. Properly designing the armor shield structure to reduce unnecessary gaps and resonance points is an effective way to control noise. For example, by adding a sound insulation layer or sound-absorbing materials, such as foam, fiber, etc., a sound insulation barrier is formed inside the protective hood to effectively isolate noise exteriors. At the same time, connecting parts and fixing methods are optimized to reduce noise caused by play or vibration.
Additionally, the use of advanced noise reduction technology is also necessary. Modern technology offers a variety of solutions for noise control, such as active noise reduction technology. By integrating a microphone and speaker system inside the armored shield, the sound waves opposing the noise are monitored in real time and generated to achieve mutual noise cancellation. Although this technology is complex and expensive, it is already used in some protective equipment.
Additionally, daily care and maintenance is also a part of noise control that cannot be ignored. Regularly check the tightness of the guard and the condition of the fixings to ensure that there is no additional noise caused by wear or loosening. At the same time, keeping the protective cover clean and dry to avoid the impact of dust and moisture on the performance of the material is also an important measure to extend the service life and reduce noise.
In summary, controlling the noise of armored shields requires starting from many aspects such as material selection, structural optimization, technology application and daily maintenance. By combining these measures, the noise level of the protective cover can be significantly reduced and the user’s comfort and combat effectiveness can be improved.
