The Winter Olympics, which are highly concerned by the world, have a visible side and an invisible side.
It is visible that Gu Ailing Super Nova won the championship, what is invisible is the "perfect snow surface" created by direct cold ice making technology and snow storage technology; what can be seen is the uninterrupted work of 26 venues in 3 major competition areas, what is invisible is the "100% green electricity" zero pollution emissions, it can be seen that the athletes are soaring heroically, and what is invisible is the technical support of the Beidou navigation snow field feedback system and intelligent force measuring skis... Similarly, what is visible is the peace dove that was well-known at home and abroad at the opening ceremony, and what is invisible is the scientific and technological gold content implied in the design and manufacturing process of each of these clothes.
Technology, in the Winter Olympics, is not only reflected in the scene. From the technical highlights of the winter Olympic clothing, we have summarized 5 major trends. For fashion companies, grasping them may be able to quickly use technology empowerment to achieve comprehensive success.
The most technological costume is also the future ice hockey costume designed by CHENPENG, which was unveiled in the second program of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games, "Ice and Snow Five Rings".
The future ice hockey suit is an important part of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games "Five Rings Display", reflecting the theme of "Science and Technology Olympics". The combination of ice hockey performances and multimedia art creates a futuristic and technologically advanced ice and snow feast.
Inspired by China's ice lantern and ice sculpture culture, the ice hockey costume presents a crystal clear "ice glass" art installation in a very artistic form. The Ice Lantern Festival, a traditional festival held in the first month of the lunar calendar in northern China, has a history of thousands of years, and ice hockey is known as the pearl of the laurels of the Winter Olympic Games and is one of the most high-profile collective events in the Winter Olympic Games. The opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics shows the five rings display, which combines the creative combination of ice hockey and Chinese ice sculpture culture.
In addition to retaining the appearance characteristics of traditional ice hockey equipment, the design of ice hockey suits combines modern electronic technology and 3D technology to increase its futuristic feeling. The appearance of the clothing uses transparent PET grating material to form a visual effect of stereoscopic image, which is characterized by creating a three-dimensional space with a relative depth of field on the plane, and creating a dynamic pattern within this relatively static picture. In order to achieve the luminous effect of the hockey suit, the COB strip (a led integrated area light source strip) is lined with a light grid material as the base. In addition, in order to achieve the integrated transparent material texture, the helmet, ice hockey club, and five-ring logo use modeling and 3D printing technology to visually achieve a crystal clear texture similar to that of an ice lamp.
The uniform fabric of the Winter Olympics is provided by Shanghai Jialinjie Textile Co., Ltd., which combines high-tech content and green environmental protection characteristics.
The front pattern of the Winter Olympic uniform fabric, the fusion of traditional Chinese landscape painting and the core graphics of the Winter Olympics snow mountain picture, the reverse is a fleece fabric with warmth, according to the needs of special climatic conditions in winter, warmth is an important indicator, after testing, the warmth performance of this fabric is about 2 times that of similar products on the market.
Zhang Yinan, manager of the company's research and development department, introduced that the fabric has the characteristics of anti-pilling, anti-static, light and breathable, elastic and so on, making the wearer more comfortable. While ensuring the functionality of the fabric, Jialinjie is also practicing the concept of green environmental protection and sustainability. In the development of clothing fabrics for the Winter Olympics, recycled yarns made from waste plastic bottles and textile recycling are used.
Due to the special climatic conditions of the Winter Olympics, the uniform warm materials must not only resist the cold, wind and warmth, but also breathe, wet, light and comfortable. In order to meet the needs of all scenarios to the greatest extent, Jiangsu Kangda Nonwoven Co., Ltd. has developed a special thermal insulation material for Beijing Winter Olympic uniforms - multi-dimensional heat storage and heat preservation floc, which has the excellent performance of instantaneous heating, long-term heat storage, light and comfortable, sweat absorption and breathability. The flac is developed from a mixture of 70% of a variety of functional polyester staple fibers and 30% functional nylon staple fibers, these versatile staple fibers can absorb converted light energy and heat energy of the human body and can achieve long-term heat storage, while the light, soft, good resilience and good moisture absorption of the staple fibers improve the comfort of the warm flakes.
This time for the Winter Olympic snow staff of the fever vests, scarves, gloves, socks, heated underwear and other clothing products, from Beijing Innovation Aishangjia Technology Co., Ltd. It is reported that the company and the Beijing Graphene Technology Research Institute have developed graphene products and thermal guarantee application technologies that can intelligently generate heat in low temperature environments, breaking through the key technologies such as low temperature start and operation of graphene flexible fabric heating materials, rapid electric heat conversion, etc., and realizing the low temperature application of graphene flexible fabric heating technology. Heating vests, scarves, gloves, socks, heating underwear and other clothing and clothing can achieve 38 °C - 52 °C temperature regulation to meet the warm needs of low temperature environment personnel.
In addition to clothing and clothing, the project team also jointly developed the ice pier hand warmer gem inkene heating technology with the licensed commodity manufacturers of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, which is the first application of graphene technology in the licensed commodities of the Winter Olympic Games.
It is worth mentioning that Aijia Technology cooperated with cloud broadcasting company to develop a graphene heating device to improve the cloud broadcast backpack, ensuring that the electronic equipment can be used normally at minus 20 ° C.
The ignition ceremony has always been one of the biggest highlights of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the last surprise of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, the general director Zhang Yimou once said that "the ignition that has not yet appeared in the history of the Olympic Games in a hundred years" has finally been unveiled: "no ignition" instead of "ignition", "micro-fire" instead of the burning fire, the transmission of low-carbon and environmentally friendly green Olympic concept, to achieve a ignition ceremony innovation in the history of the Olympic Games.
Professor Sun Yize's team of Donghua University is the key manufacturing technology provider of the torch outer streamer (shell), Professor Sun uses the three "high" words of "high-tech materials", "high-tech equipment" and "high-end manufacturing" to summarize, he said that this is a perfect collision of art design and scientific and technological innovation.
The outer streamer shape of the torch "Flying" is very special, it is a high-dimensional surface body, which is an extremely complex heterosexual structural part for engineering manufacturing. In order to lay a good "foundation", Professor Sun Yize led the team to the north several times, and repeatedly discussed, revised and polished with the torch shape designer team of the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the relevant staff of the Winter Olympic Organizing Committee.
In order to make these carbon fiber composite materials "obedient" in the weaving process, and at the same time in industrial production to restore the soft and flowing feeling of the outer streamer, Professor Sun led the team to study the control algorithm, wonderful mechanism, rail change technology, etc., from theoretical derivation to experimental verification to production practice, repeated debugging. Finally, the three-dimensional automatic three-dimensional weaving and automated grinding of the outer streamer belt of the torch were realized, and the project technology not only filled the domestic gap, but also took a leading position in the world. In the end, Professor Sun Yize's team made the torch "alive" and truly showed the best "flying" state.
The moment he stepped on the podium and the Olympic athletes received the medals was undoubtedly a highlight moment of global attention. The medal ribbons of this Winter Olympics are woven by the ingenuity of Wanshili Silk, and 100% of traditional Chinese silks are used, conveying the "most Chinese" cultural connotation of the ribbons. The medal ribbon of this Winter Olympic Games adopts the weaving "ice and snow pattern", in order to make each "ice and snow pattern" more three-dimensional beauty, the weaving draws inspiration from the craftsmanship of the intangible song brocade, making the characteristic ice plum pattern very three-dimensional art.
The fabric of the ribbon is made of the finest grade 6A silk, and the 6 2022 silks are combined into one as a weft thread, and after thousands of tests, they are finally woven into five tissue sambo forgings with a thickness of 24 meters. This new material is not only tough and load-bearing, but also makes the thin and soft silk very wide and stylish.
The manufacture of ribbons applies high-tech green technology, and the printing color does not fade for a long time. Technicians through the use of artificial intelligence image recognition and processing technology, the use of the system's high precision positioning capabilities, and finally achieve printing error control within 0.1 mm. In addition, the team incorporated a new gbART green printing and dyeing technology based on color digitization, with special treatment of dyes and silk fabrics, so that they can be firmly fixed on the fabric fibers. This technology not only achieves 99% color reproducibility, but also eliminates the need for water washing process compared to traditional printing technology, and reduces the emission of pollutants such as sewage and ammonia nitrogen, which caters to the concept of green Winter Olympics.
The ice and snow sports involved in the Winter Olympics will drive the income of other related industries to more than 300 billion yuan. By 2025, the total scale of China's ice and snow industry is expected to reach 1 trillion yuan, in the face of such a huge market space, how can the fashion industry follow the trend on the fast track of transforming ice and snow "cold resources" into "hot economy"?
Throughout the Winter Olympics, artificial intelligence, big data, wearable devices and other scientific and technological means have become the "standard" to assist athletes to improve their competitive level in training. After the meeting, how can fashion companies focus on "equipment, data and experience" to apply these to industrial technology innovation? Intelligent temperature-controlling textile materials with sensing function, feedback function, response function, information recognition and accumulation, self-diagnosis ability, self-repair ability and adaptive ability, intelligent shape memory textile material, intelligent color-changing textile material and electronic information intelligent textile material... With the goal of bringing 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports during the Winter Olympics, these will shift from the development of scientific research highlights of industrial innovation to the norm of fashion applications.
