Detailed implementation mode

[0040] Example 1 Test method

[0041] I. Steps of the test method;

[0042] Specifically, it includes the following steps.

[0043] Step S1. Preparation before the test, including equipping a cycling system, an environment simulation system and a cardiopulmonary test system in the cycling chamber, that is, placing each device in the cycling chamber according to requirements, such as including an oxygen concentration adjustment device, a temperature and humidity control device, a wind speed control device and an adjustable power cycling system, where:

[0044] The oxygen concentration adjustment device controls the oxygen concentration through an oxygen generator and a gas mixer, etc., so as to simulate the low-oxygen environment at high altitudes; the temperature and humidity control system uses heating and humidifying equipment to simulate the temperature and humidity conditions in the tunnel; the wind speed control device: controls the wind speed in the cycling chamber at 0.1 - 0.5 m / s through a ventilation device to simulate the air flow situation in the tunnel; the cycling system consists of an S25U cycling power bike with adjustable power, and of course also includes various sensors required for monitoring environmental parameters, such as temperature, humidity, oxygen concentration and other sensors.

[0045] After configuring each device, debug the cycling system, the environment simulation system and the cardiopulmonary test system to the required test conditions. Specifically, it includes: Step S11. Start the environment simulation system and adjust the environmental parameters of the cycling chamber to the conditions of the target high-altitude tunnel. The said environmental parameters include oxygen concentration, temperature, humidity and wind speed; the specific adjustment method for the environmental parameters here can be realized by using the existing conventional real-time parameter control method based on the above devices, and will not be elaborated here.

[0046] Step S12: Check the normal operating status of all devices.

[0047] Step S13: Ensure that the cardiopulmonary test system (such as oxygen uptake and heart rate monitoring devices, etc.) is connected to the person being tested, calibrate the device and check the normality of data collection.

[0048] Step S2: Process simulation, including selecting one or more construction processes, and sequentially setting the power and cadence parameters of the cycling system according to the selected construction processes. Let the person being tested cycle at the set power and cadence, and sequentially collect the physiological data of the person being tested corresponding to each construction process through the cardiopulmonary test system;

[0049] During the process simulation, the specific simulation is as follows:

[0050] (1) Select the first construction process (such as "secondary lining steel bar layout") and set the power and cadence parameters of the cycling system.

[0051] (2) The experimenter cycles for 10 minutes at the set power and cadence to simulate the labor intensity of this process.

[0052] (3) The cardiopulmonary test system real-time collects the physiological data of the experimenter (such as oxygen uptake, heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood oxygen saturation).

[0053] (4) End the test of the first process and save the data.

[0054] (5) Switch to the next construction process (such as "secondary lining waterproof cloth laying"), and adjust the power and cadence of the cycling system to the set value of this process.

[0055] (6) Repeat steps 2.2 to 2.4 to conduct a simulation experiment on this process.

[0056] (7) Sequentially simulate all processes until all construction processes have been completed for testing.

[0057] The power and cadence settings of the cycling system matching each construction process are as follows:

[0058] (1) Secondary lining steel bar layout: Power 144W, cadence 65 times / minute.

[0059] (2) Secondary lining waterproof cloth laying: Power 144W, cadence 50 times / minute.

[0060] (3) Inverted arch steel bar binding: Power 108W, cadence 55 times / minute.

[0061] (4) Floor construction: Power 108W, cadence 40 times / minute.

[0062] (5) Machinery operator: Power 72W, cadence 55 times / minute.

[0063] Step S3: Transmit all the collected physiological data to the data analysis system, and directly calculate the labor intensity index at different altitudes by using a mathematical model, and generate a labor intensity evaluation report for each process. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0064] I = 3R t + 1.673M(1 + K),

[0065] In the formula, I is the labor intensity index;

[0066] K is the altitude coefficient. When the altitude is between 3000m and 4000m, K = 0.56; when the altitude is greater than 4000m, K = 0.72;

[0067] R t is the labor time rate, and the calculation formula is:

[0068]

[0069] In the formula, T is the total working hours of a working day, taking 8h; ∑T si is the pure physical labor time, that is, the riding time of the tested person at the set power and step frequency;

[0070] M is the average energy metabolic rate of a working day, and the calculation formula is,

[0071] M = (20.19 × VO 2 ) / A,

[0072] In the formula, VO 2 is the oxygen uptake, and A is the unit body surface area, where A = 0.0061H + 0.0124W - 0.0099, H is the height of the tested person, and W is the weight of the tested person.

[0073] Second, establish the correspondence between the construction process and the riding experiment;

[0074] Specifically, it includes the following steps,

[0075] Step S21: Construction test: Collect the physiological data of construction workers during construction of different processes in the actual 2# high-altitude tunnel at an altitude of 4700m, and obtain the labor intensity index based on the collected physiological data;

[0076] Step S22: Environmental parameter setting: Set the environmental parameters in the riding cabin to be the same as those in the 2# high-altitude tunnel through the environmental simulation system;

[0077] Step S23, cycling experiment: Conduct a cycling experiment in the cycling cabin after setting the environmental parameters. Adjust the cycling frequency and the step frequency of the person being tested based on the labor intensity index obtained in Step S21 to obtain the cycling frequency and the step frequency of the person being tested that match different construction processes.

[0078] It also includes Step S23 for result verification, including: Conduct on-site cycling tests at the altitude corresponding to the 2# high-altitude tunnel. Obtain the cycling frequency and the step frequency of the person being tested that match different construction processes based on the labor intensity index obtained in Step S21, and compare them with the cycling frequency and the step frequency of the person being tested that match different construction processes finally obtained in Step S23.

[0079] To further verify the corresponding relationship between different labor processes and cycling power, it also includes conducting the construction test of Step S21 at different altitudes corresponding to the 2# high-altitude tunnel, such as in the 1# tunnel at an altitude of 2500m. Then conduct a cycling experiment in the environment corresponding to the 1# tunnel, and compare the cycling frequency and the step frequency of the person being tested that match different construction processes obtained with the cycling frequency and the step frequency of the person being tested that match different construction processes finally obtained in S23.

[0080] Among them, the 1# tunnel is located in the section from Nyingchi to Lhasa, with an average altitude of 2500m and a total length of 42.5km. It is the longest railway tunnel under construction in the world in terms of altitude. The ground elevation of the 2# tunnel is 4400m above sea level, and the altitude of the inclined shaft is 4700m. It is the highest railway tunnel under construction in the world.

[0081] Example 2, result verification of the test method

[0082] Taking oxygen uptake as an example, a two-way analysis of variance was conducted on the construction and cycling test results of the 1# tunnel and the 2# tunnel. The results are shown in Table 1. It can be seen from Table 1 that after adjusting the power of the cycling ergometer and the step frequency of the cyclist, in the construction and cycling tests of each process, the difference in oxygen uptake between the cycling experiment and the actual construction is small. In all processes, the p-value of the two-way analysis of variance is greater than 0.05, indicating that there is no significant difference between the working method and the oxygen uptake of the workers at the same altitude. At the same time, the type of process and the individual differences of the workers also have no significant impact on the experimental results. In addition, the two-way analysis of variance shows that there is no interaction between the process, the work, and the individual of the worker, that is, under different processes, the oxygen uptake of construction and cycling is relatively consistent.

[0083] Table 1, oxygen uptake test results and two-way analysis of variance results

[0084]

[0085]

[0086] To better verify that there is no significant difference between the results of the cycling experiment test and the on-site test, a two-way analysis of variance was also conducted on important physiological indicators such as respiratory rate, heart rate, and blood oxygen saturation. The results are shown in Table 5. As can be seen from Table 5, among the three physiological indicators of respiratory rate, heart rate, and blood oxygen saturation, there were no significant differences in construction, cycling, individual differences among workers, and the interaction between the two (the P values were all greater than 0.05), which further verified the feasibility of the cycling experiment in simulating the actual construction labor intensity. At the same time, there were no significant differences in the physiological indicator changes among different workers, indicating that under the same working environment and working intensity, individual differences had little effect on respiratory rate, heart rate, and blood oxygen saturation. This means that under different process conditions, the cycling experiment can not only accurately reflect the labor intensity of different processes but also exclude the significant influence of individual physiological differences, thus ensuring the repeatability and reliability of the experimental results.

[0087] Table 5 Results of two-way analysis of variance for physiological indicators

[0088]

[0089] Based on the results of the cycling experiment and the on-site test, this paper established the corresponding relationship between the process and the cycling power as shown in Table 6. As shown in Table 6, by adjusting the cycling power of the power bike and the walking frequency of the construction workers, the simulation effect of replacing on-site construction with the cycling experiment can be achieved. Among them, the changes in the physiological indicators of construction workers caused by the intensity of different actions in different processes can be achieved by adjusting the walking frequency of construction workers.
