Detailed Description
The invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures and specific embodiments. The present embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and a detailed implementation manner and a specific operation process are given, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
An inhalation volume monitoring device for an inhalation exposure system, as shown in fig. 1, comprising:
the device comprises a channel pipe 1, a first device 3 and a second device 3, wherein the channel pipe 1 is used for accommodating animals, the tail part of the channel pipe is provided with a through hole, the side surface close to the tail part of the channel pipe is provided with a vent hole 11, the front part of the channel pipe is communicated with the first device 3 for supplying gas to be inhaled, and the joint of the front part of the channel pipe 1 and the first;
the adjusting rod 2 penetrates through the through hole and is sealed with the through hole, a pressure plate 21 for propelling the animal to move forwards is arranged at one end inside the channel pipe 1, a handle module is arranged at one end outside the channel pipe 1, and a gap for gas flowing is reserved between the pressure plate 21 and the channel pipe 1;
the silicone ring 4 is arranged at the position close to the front part of the channel tube 1 and is used for dividing the inner cavity of the channel tube 1 into two parts with non-intercommunicated gas when the animal passes through the silicone ring;
and a flow sensor provided in the vent hole 11 for measuring the flow rate of the gas flowing from the passage tube 1 to the outside. The flow sensor is a differential pressure type micro-flow sensor.
The channel tube 1 comprises a tube main body 12 and an end cover 13 which are detachably connected, a through hole is formed in the end cover 13, a vent hole 11 is formed in the side face of the end cover 13 or the side face of the tube main body 12, and the tube main body 12 and the end cover 13 are sealed when connected. Preferably, the vent hole 11 is provided in a side surface of the tube main body 12.
Because the position of animal neck has increased silica gel circle 4, has designed a pore diameter 5 ~ 10 mm's air vent 11 at the channel pipe 1 rear end simultaneously, embeds a differential micro-flow sensor. After the animal is pushed to the most front position by using the adjusting rod 2, the silicone ring 4 forms a basically sealed structure at the position of the neck of the animal. The neck seal allows the animal body to be in a chamber having only one ventilation path for the differential pressure microfluidic sensor. According to this design, the fluctuation of the thoracoabdominal region of the animal during respiration pushes an almost equal amount of gas through the differential pressure type micro-flow sensor, so that the instantaneous gas flow here can be used to represent the animal's oronasal breathing gas flow.
The differential pressure type micro flow sensor includes a porous laminar flow 5 and a differential pressure sensor, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the side of the porous laminar flow 5 is provided with two air holes 51 for measuring differential pressure, and a portion between the two air holes 51 is provided with a plurality of ventilation channels 52 arranged in the axial direction.
In a short section of piping, if the gas flow is in laminar flow, the gas pressure differential is proportional to the flow rate, as follows:
Figure BDA0002334415150000041
wherein: Δ P is the pressure differential, μ is the Dynamic Viscosity of air (Dynamic viscometry), L is the length of the conduit, D is the diameter of the conduit, Q is the flow rate, and π is the circumference ratio.
The method of measuring differential pressure can thus be used to calculate the gas flow: after the standard flowmeter is used for calibrating the coefficients of the differential pressure and the flow, the animal respiratory flow data can be obtained by measuring the differential pressure, and the differential pressure type micro-flow sensor is formed.
However, since the linear relationship must be established under laminar flow conditions, a laminar flow device is required to ensure that the flow in the measurement section is in laminar flow conditions during normal respiration of the animal. The condition of meeting the laminar flow characteristic is that the Reynolds number is less than 2000, and the Reynolds number is calculated according to the following formula:
Figure BDA0002334415150000042
wherein: re is Reynolds number, D is pore diameter, V is air flow rate, ρ is air density, and μ is dynamic viscosity of air. From the above formula, in order to ensure that the reynolds number is less than 2000, the laminar flow device should be designed to be a porous structure so as to reduce the diameter of a single hole, thereby reducing the reynolds number.
Therefore, the length of the porous flow restrictor, the number of pores, and the pore diameter are designed according to the size of the respiratory flow, the measurement range of the differential pressure sensor, and the condition that the reynolds number is less than 2000.
For a certain kind of experimental animal, it is generally possible to obtain an approximate range of its respiratory flow from past experimental data. Differential pressure sensors are typically selected to have as small a range as possible (e.g., a 125Pa differential pressure sensor) to minimize the effect of the sensor on animal respiration and improve measurement accuracy.
The porous laminar flow devices are equivalent to porous parallel connection, the pressure difference is equal, and the flow rates are added.
From the above, the design steps of the length of the laminar flow device, the number of air holes and the aperture are summarized:
1. according to the type of the experimental animal, the tidal volume data are consulted and obtained, and the approximate range of the respiratory flow is calculated and determined.
2. According to the flow range, the length, the number of air holes and the aperture of the laminar flow device are designed to be proper, so that the differential pressure of the laminar flow device in the respiratory flow range basically matches with the measurement range of the differential pressure sensor.
3. The number and the aperture of the air holes are adjusted, so that the respiratory airflow accords with the laminar flow characteristic when passing through the laminar flow device, namely the Reynolds number is less than 2000.
The respiratory flow monitoring system for the inhalation exposure system is designed by utilizing the monitoring device, and comprises the monitoring device and a control processing device, wherein the control processing device is connected with a flow sensor in the monitoring device and is used for obtaining a respiratory flow real-time curve according to the measured gas flow and further obtaining characteristic data of animal respiration at least comprising respiratory rate, tidal volume and minute ventilation volume.
The control processing device comprises a computer and a data acquisition and processing unit, one end of the data acquisition and processing unit is connected with the flow sensor, the other end of the data acquisition and processing unit is connected with the computer, and the computer is loaded with corresponding software. The data acquisition and processing unit is connected with the computer in a USB, network or WIFI mode.
The data acquisition and processing unit is a circuit module for data acquisition and processing. The method comprises the steps of firstly, rapidly and continuously collecting pressure difference data, converting the pressure difference data into respiratory flow according to a calibration coefficient of a pressure difference type micro-flow sensor, and then analyzing and calculating a respiratory flow real-time curve to obtain respiratory characteristic data of experimental animals such as respiratory frequency, tidal volume, minute ventilation volume and the like.
The software runs on an upper computer, provides an operation interface for a user, and displays animal inhalation volume characteristic data in the inhalation exposure experiment process. Data communication can be realized between the upper computer running the interface software and the data acquisition and processing unit in a USB (universal serial bus), network or WIFI (wireless fidelity) mode. The interface software acquires the inhalation amount data from the data acquisition and processing unit by a certain standard or self-defined communication protocol, and displays the data to the user in the form of a curve and a data table. Meanwhile, historical data is stored in a database for a user to view and further process.
