Warm body sweating manikin - a powerful assistant for clothing thermal performance testing

In today's clothing industry, which is pursuing high quality and high performance, accurately evaluating the thermal performance of clothing has become a key link. The warm-body sweating dummy is like a behind-the-scenes hero, quietly playing an indispensable role.

The warm-body sweating dummy looks similar to a human model, but its "inner" contains high technology. It can accurately simulate the human body temperature regulation system, and the core lies in the built-in precision temperature control components. Through complex algorithms, these components can maintain the temperature of various parts of the dummy's body according to the preset, just like a real human body. What's more, it can simulate the sweating process, and the pore-like microstructure is distributed on the body surface. Under the test requirements, it can evenly "seep" sweat and highly restore the human body sweating heat dissipation scene.

In the clothing thermal performance test process, the warm-body sweating dummy plays a core role. The first is the preparation stage. The technicians carefully dress the dummy according to the test standards to ensure that the clothing is flat and fits well to avoid wrinkles that affect heat transfer. The test starts, and the dummy is placed in various simulated environmental chambers, ranging from cold and dry low-temperature chambers to hot and humid high-temperature and high-humidity chambers. The temperature and humidity sensors inside the dummy work in real time, accurately collecting thermal and humidity data of various areas of the body when wearing clothing. For example, when simulating outdoor high-temperature labor scenes, the dummy quickly heats up and sweats, and the sensor quickly records the temperature and humidity changes in the microclimate inside the clothing, reflecting the heat dissipation and moisture permeability of the clothing. These data are transmitted wirelessly to the analysis terminal, and researchers draw heat flow and moisture flow curves based on them to intuitively present the advantages and disadvantages of the thermal performance of clothing.

Compared with traditional testing methods, the advantages of warm body sweating dummies are significant. In the past, real-person try-on tests were restricted by factors such as differences in individual subjective feelings and difficulty in unifying the amount of activity, and the data was highly discrete. However, the dummy test conditions are constant and highly repeatable, and the deviation of multiple test results of the same clothing is extremely small, providing a stable and reliable data foundation for clothing research and development. Today, from outdoor functional sportswear to special protective clothing for firefighting, medical treatment, etc., warm-body sweating dummies help many clothing categories to optimize and upgrade their thermal performance, pushing the entire clothing industry in a more scientific and professional direction.
