The appearance design of the torch for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics was officially released and unveiled at the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee.
The torch of Beijing Winter Olympics is very dynamic and energetic, and its color is silver-red, which symbolizes the meeting of ice and fire, flying with passion, illuminating the ice and snow and warming the world. The appearance of the Winter Paralympic Torch is exactly the same as that of the Winter Olympics Torch, but the color is silver and gold, which symbolizes glory and dreams. Courage, determination, motivation, equality? Paralympic values; In addition, the bottom ring of the torch is engraved with? Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games? Full name in Braille. At the handover, the top of the two torches can be closely connected, which also symbolizes the vision of the Winter Olympics in which different civilizations exchange and learn from each other and let the world know each other better. Because Beijing is the first in Olympic history? Double Olympic city? ,? Flying? Its appearance echoes the shape of the main torch tower of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, and it is also based on Xiangyun, and gradually transitions from bottom to top to paper-cut snowflake patterns.
Kent Li, the appearance designer of the torch, pointed out that the torch does not seem to have a straight line visually, but the curve is also changing, thus creating a sense of movement, which is as endless as a plant, especially embodying the people of China? Taoism, nature, harmony between man and nature? Traditional thoughts; The design was inspired by a leaf. He said:? At that time, we saw a leaf, and its beauty was different from the very regular beauty in traditional industrial design. So this design is both natural and innovative. Because we changed the torch from a completely closed shape to an open shape, forming an inner and outer streamer, and the flame burned in the middle of the streamer. The combustion mode is also particularly innovative. The traditional way is to use fire, but our torch spirals up like a fire dragon. And through some small details of the design, the fire can be changed from small to large, and it will feel very energetic on it. The whole design is very different. ?
At the same time? Flying? Has a high scientific and technological content. First of all, it does not use traditional metal materials, but uses a composite material of light weight and high strength carbon fiber and resin. Secondly, there are also many technological innovations in technology. Huang Xiangyu, a carbon fiber expert and deputy general manager of China Petrochemical Company, said? We use the method of three-dimensional weaving, which is the most advanced technology we adopt. It can be woven into various shapes and any size required by the designer. This is a technological breakthrough in carbon fiber forming. Second, all kinds of specially designed molds meet the molding requirements of different curved surfaces. The third is to choose a very special resin, which can resist high temperature. Fourthly, the molding technology of resin is also specially developed, which can not be solved by traditional curing methods. Finally, the torch made of resin is made step by step by special means, and it can also resist fire and high temperature. ?
