The extracted mixed gas enters the flow sensor 17, and the flow sensor 17 measures the flow rate of the mixed gas. The control unit collects gas flow data via a flow sensor 17. The second pump 13 samples the gas in line 16 at a constant rate. A part of the mixed gas after sampling enters a gas concentration analysis part, and the gas concentration analysis part acquires real-time concentration data of the gas in the pipeline.
Step five: the human-computer interaction equipment calculates the oxygen intake and carbon dioxide discharge amount in a period of time according to the uploaded data collected by the control unit, and the calculation process is as follows:
volume of mixed gas discharged from head cover:
nitrogen concentration in the mixed gas discharged from the head cap: fEN2＝1-FECO2-FEO2
Nitrogen concentration in ambient air: fIN2＝1-FICO2-FIO2
Volume of air drawn into the hood: vin＝Vout×FEN2/FIN2
Oxygen uptake: vO2＝Vin×FEO2-Vout×FIO2
Carbon dioxide emission: vCO2＝Vout×FICO2-Vin×FECO2。
Wherein: v (t) is the instantaneous flow rate of the mixed gas in the pumping line 16; t is t1Is the time point at which sampling begins; t is t2The time point of the end of sampling; fECO2The average carbon dioxide concentration in the mixed gas discharged out of the hood; fEO2Is the average oxygen concentration in the mixed gas exiting the hood; fIO2Is the average oxygen concentration in the air being drawn; fICO2Is the average carbon dioxide concentration in the air drawn.
And the man-machine interaction equipment displays the measurement result.
In the first step: the oxygen sensor 10 used in the device is an electrochemical sensor, and the carbon dioxide sensor 11 is an infrared sensor, which belong to rapid analysis sensors. The reaction is very sensitive, typically to flow rate, pressure, temperature, and even to gas components. Because the second air pump 13 collects gas from the air extraction pipeline 16 during testing, the gas pressure in the pipeline is approximate to atmospheric pressure, in order to ensure that the pressure of the collected gas during calibration is equal to the pressure of the collected gas during testing, during calibration, the gas cylinder is firstly opened to reduce the gas pressure through the two-stage pressure reducing valve, and the calibrated gas passes through the overflow interface 7, as shown in fig. 3. The air pressure is further reduced to be approximate to atmospheric pressure, so that the pressure of the collected air during calibration is equal to that of the collected air during testing and is approximately equal to the atmospheric pressure. The length of an overflow pipeline connecting the overflow valve 7 and the air is more than 20cm, and the quantity of the calibration gas flowing into the overflow valve 7 is ensured to be larger than that of the gas pumped out of the overflow valve 7, the flow rate of the calibration gas exhausted into the air from the overflow pipeline is more than 250ML per minute, so that the air is prevented from diffusing into the calibration gas. The gas is extracted by the negative pressure generated by the second air extracting pump 13 in the gas calibration and gas measurement processes. Therefore, errors caused by pressure compensation in the traditional test process are eliminated, and the accuracy of gas concentration measurement is improved.
The invention relates to a hood type human body exhaled air collecting device, which is characterized in that a hood used by the device is as shown in figure 4, the volume of the hood is respectively about 10L, 20L and 35L according to the three types of large volume, medium volume and small volume inside the hood, the volume of the hood is respectively used for testing subjects with weights of 10kg to 20kg, 20kg to 40kg and more than 40kg, an air suction opening is positioned below a nasal air outlet during testing, the air suction amount of a fan is generally multiple times of the air amount exhaled by a human body, therefore, negative pressure can be formed in the hood, the open part around a neck is covered by a soft material in a wrapping mode, most of air flows in from an air inlet positioned at the top of the head of the human body, air convection is formed, and the aim of quickly pumping the human body. The hood 18 is generally made of transparent acrylic material, so that on one hand, the state of a testee can be observed, the safety of the test process is provided, and on the other hand, the testee does not feel oppressed and boring, and the hood is more humanized.
The invention relates to a hood type human body exhaled air collecting device, which adopts a fan speed self-adaptive control algorithm in the fourth step as follows:
as shown in fig. 5, the change of the carbon dioxide concentration in the exhaled air of the human body is shown, and the real-time concentration obtained by the carbon dioxide sensor 11 is the gas concentration in the pipeline 16, which is the result of the mixture of the exhaled air concentration of the human body and the inhaled air. The gas concentration in the pipeline changes with the pumping speed, and the conditions are as follows: the faster the air extraction speed, the larger the flow rate of air entering the hood, and the smaller the maximum concentration of carbon dioxide in the mixed gas after the air is mixed with the respiratory gas of the human body, and meanwhile, the smaller the change range of the concentration value of the carbon dioxide, namely the peak value of the concentration. Conversely, the lower the extraction rate, the lower the air flow rate into the hood, and the greater the maximum concentration of carbon dioxide in the mixed gas and the peak-to-peak concentration signal.
The gas concentration condition in the hood has certain influence on the comfort level, the measurement accuracy and the like of a person to be tested in the metabolism measurement. On one hand, if the carbon dioxide concentration in the hood is higher (more than 1 percent), the carbon dioxide concentration in blood is increased, the higher carbon dioxide concentration in blood stimulates the chemical receptors in the center and periphery of the human body, so that the respiratory center is stimulated, the respiratory effort is increased, namely, the breathing is deepened and accelerated, the comfort of a tested person is reduced, and the energy consumption is increased. In addition, the carbon dioxide concentration in the hood is higher, and the carbon dioxide concentration difference between the inside of the hood and the environment is increased, which puts higher requirements on the sealing performance of the contact part of the hood and a human body. On the other hand, if the air extraction speed is too high, the peak value of the carbon dioxide concentration signal in the hood is low (for example, less than 0.5%), the signal-to-noise ratio of the concentration signal is reduced, and the measurement accuracy is reduced.
According to the above analysis, in order to coordinate the comfort and accuracy of the metabolic test, the pumping speed needs to be dynamically adjusted to control the carbon dioxide concentration within a certain range, and the control targets are as follows:
(1) the peak value of the average carbon dioxide concentration is less than or equal to 1 percent;
(2) the peak value of the average carbon dioxide concentration signal is more than or equal to 0.5 percent
The fan speed range is 0-60L per minute, wherein the speed of increasing a gear is increased by 5L per minute, when a test is started, the initial speed setting of the fan is calculated according to weight information input by a human body, the general weight is 10L per minute under 10kg, 20L per minute under 10 kg-20 kg, 35L per minute above 20kg, after the fan speed is set, the fan speed judgment flow is started, firstly, after the flow rate is waited for 30 seconds and the like and the carbon dioxide concentration is stable, the average carbon dioxide concentration peak value and the average carbon dioxide concentration signal peak value in the following 20 seconds are acquired, then, the average carbon dioxide concentration peak value is judged to be more than 1%, if the average carbon dioxide concentration peak value is more than 1%, the first gear fan speed is increased, the fan speed judgment flow is restarted, if the average carbon dioxide concentration signal peak value is not more than 1%, whether the average carbon dioxide concentration, and re-entering the fan speed judgment process, wherein the carbon dioxide concentration variation range is within the control target range and the constant air extraction speed is kept and is not adjusted until the test is finished, and the result is shown in fig. 6 if the carbon dioxide concentration variation range is not less than 0.5%.
