Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of testing, and in particular to a device and method for testing the peak value of a pressurized oxygen supply mask with multiple decompression stages. Background Art

[0002] Rapid decompression in the aircraft cabin has a great impact on the human body. When the pressurized cabin is damaged or a mechanical failure occurs and decompression is carried out, the cabin pressure suddenly drops to balance with the outside world. The expanded gas in the lungs and the dead space of the trachea and mask cannot be discharged quickly, and the pressure in the lungs increases instantly. The highest value is called the "peak decompression of the lungs". The severe expansion of the gas in the lungs exceeds the physiological tolerance of the pilot's lungs to the peak decompression, which can easily cause barotrauma and endanger life in severe cases.

[0003] The pressurized oxygen mask with protective helmet and protective clothing is mainly used to ensure that the pilot can complete a long flight mission in the airtight cockpit of the aircraft, and to ensure that the pilot can still safely operate the aircraft or perform emergency ejection after the sudden rapid cabin decompression caused by a malfunction in the airtight cockpit of the aircraft during high-altitude flight. Therefore, the test of the decompression peak of the pressurized oxygen mask at the moment of decompression is one of the key test requirements for life support.

[0004] Based on the requirements of aviation physiology, when the maximum residual pressure during normal flight exceeds the protective performance indicators provided by the existing life support equipment to the pilot, it will cause an extremely high risk factor for the pilot's life support. In order to prevent the pilot from experiencing explosive hypoxia and lung damage when the cabin is rapidly depressurized, necessary protective measures need to be taken, such as using two decompressions to reduce the peak pressure relief inside the mask. Therefore, it is necessary to test the decompression peak of the pressurized oxygen mask during two decompressions to determine whether it meets the protection requirements. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a pressurized oxygen mask multi-stage decompression peak test device and method, which can test the decompression peak in the pressurized oxygen mask of the pilot at different decompression altitudes, so as to verify whether the protection function of the pilot's life support equipment meets the requirements.

[0006] This application is implemented as follows:

[0011] The pressure changes in the pressurized oxygen mask are collected and the decompression peak is calculated.

[0012] In some optional embodiments, when the pressurized oxygen mask and protective helmet to be tested are worn airtightly on a dummy head model, a cavity is formed at the mouth and nose of the dummy head model, and a pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure change in the cavity and calculate the decompression peak value.

The multi-pole explosion decompression simulation device is configured to perform at least two explosion decompressions to reduce the pressure in the test cabin from the initial cabin pressure twice and then adjust it to the simulated high-altitude pressure. It includes a dummy head model, an artificial simulated lung and a pressure sensor arranged in the test cabin. The dummy head model is equipped with a pressurized oxygen mask and a protective helmet. The artificial simulated lung is connected to the pressurized oxygen mask. The pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure in the pressurized oxygen mask.
