Description

[0002] In the medical field, lung function detection is crucial, and portable respiratory flow measurement instruments have become a new demand for primary medical care. There are three types of mainstream calibration schemes at present:

[0003] Calibration cylinder calibration method: use a standard volume calibration cylinder to generate a known volume of air flow for comparison calibration. Although the principle is intuitive and the repeatability is strong, the calibration cylinder needs to be replaced frequently, only discrete calibration of fixed volume points can be achieved, it depends on multiple specifications of calibration cylinders, and the device is large in volume and high in storage cost.

[0004] Hot wire sensor neural network calibration method: based on neural network model, collect data within a limited flow rate range to train the curve and extrapolate. It can expand the flow rate range using existing data to provide more continuous calibration results, but it is only suitable for hot wire sensors and has no compatibility for devices based on pressure difference principle, and the extrapolation accuracy of small flow is insufficient.

[0005] Ultrasonic wave direction tidal breathing calibration method: simulate air flow by manually pushing and pulling a standard syringe to calibrate ultrasonic wave sensors. It can simulate variable flow air flow in real breathing scenarios and verify sensor performance, but it is only suitable for specific breathing mode sensors, has large manual operation error, and cannot meet the demand for automated calibration.

[0006] Deficiency of prior art

[0007] (1) Complex equipment and high cost

[0008] The traditional calibration cylinder calibration method requires multiple specifications of standard cylinders, and other schemes rely on large laboratory stable flow field or expensive gas flow control equipment (such as high-precision regulating valve + air blower combination), which is more than 60% higher in cost than the serial calibration system proposed in this scheme.

[0009] (2) Complicated operation and low efficiency

[0010] The traditional calibration cylinder needs to replace the volume points frequently, and the ultrasonic wave method relies on manual pushing and pulling of the syringe, which requires professional personnel to operate in a specific environment and takes a long time for single calibration.

[0011] (3) Lack of intelligence and precision

[0012] The traditional method relies on manual operation or simple data fitting (such as calibration cylinder method only for discrete point comparison), and cannot handle the non-linear relationship of complex flow field, with a calibration error generally higher than 5%.

[0013] (4) Single scene adaptability

[0014] The existing solutions are mostly designed for fixed devices or specific sensors, and cannot be compatible with the related measurement principles of various portable respiratory flow measurement instruments, and are difficult to cover the full flow range. SUMMARY

[0022] Input the collected data into the terminal device, and select appropriate machine learning algorithms according to the instrument principle for training, the goal being to learn the relationship between x, and , and obtain a full-range applicable . Finally, form the corrected flow function .

[0023] In actual operation, the instrument calculates the theoretical flow through real-time collection of x, and calls the trained for correction, and outputs the high-precision flow value .

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application include:

[0025] The calibration method and system based on a portable respiratory flow measurement instrument innovatively use machine learning and other methods to construct a modified flow function based on a multi-dimensional physical quantity vector x . The method performs nonlinear correction on the full range through , effectively solving the nonlinear error problem in the low flow and high flow regions and comprehensively ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the calibration results. Through case testing, the error can be stably controlled within 5%, compared with the manual operation error of the calibration standard method and the ultrasonic laser method, effectively improving the measurement accuracy and stability of the instrument. Common gas generating devices and standard flow meters are used, without the need for large professional laboratory environment, and the equipment purchase and maintenance costs are greatly reduced, with a 60% reduction in calibration costs compared with traditional solutions.

[0086] V. Results Achieved

[0098] Six specific case studies for implementation analysis

[0099] To more clearly demonstrate the practical application effect of this calibration scheme, we will take the calibration of a portable respiratory flow measuring instrument based on the Venturi measurement principle as an example to explain the relevant case implementation process in detail.

[0100] (1) System Connection

[0101] Connect the outlet of the gas generator to the inlet of the instrument to be calibrated, and connect the outlet of the instrument to be calibrated to the inlet of the high-precision gas flow calibrator, forming a series airflow channel to ensure that the airflow passes through the instrument to be calibrated and the high-precision gas flow calibrator in sequence.

[0102] The instrument has an internal pipe structure with openings at both ends serving as inlets and outlets. The inner diameter of both inlet and outlet pipes is 20mm, and the neck diameter is 12mm. Mounting holes are provided at the inlet and neck of the pipe for installing pressure sensors. Based on the Venturi flow measurement principle, the gas flow rate is measured by combining the data collected by the sensors.

[0103] (2) Parameter settings:

[0104] Set the initial setting of the gas generator to produce a stable airflow within a known flow range.

[0105] (3) Data collection:

[0106] Start the gas generator and wait for the airflow to stabilize. Then, the two pressure sensors of the instrument to be calibrated collect the pressure values ​​at two different locations in the pipeline (i.e., the pressure at the gas inlet of the pipeline). and pressure at the neck of the pipe The data is then transmitted to the STM32F103C8T6 microcontroller in the instrument to be calibrated for processing.

[0107] The microcontroller calculates the flow rate Q in the pipe based on the collected pressure data, using the principle of the Venturi flowmeter and a correction formula. The Venturi flowmeter principle is based on Bernoulli's equation and the continuity equation; its core is to calculate the flow velocity and flow rate by measuring the pressure difference between the fluid at the inlet and the neck. When the fluid flows from the inlet of the Venturi tube to the neck, the flow velocity increases and the pressure decreases; the flow velocity and flow rate can be derived from the pressure difference between the two measuring points.

[0108] The correction process is as follows:

[0109] Original theoretical formula: (Based on the ideal fluid assumption, without considering factors such as viscosity and turbulence of actual fluids)

[0110] Correction formula: (Introducing a correction function) correction)

[0111] Explanation of key variables:

[0112] Actual flow rate (volume flow rate), unit: m³ / s, the actual flow rate value after correction factor.

[0113] Theoretical flow rate, unit: m³ / s, is the theoretical flow rate calculated based on the ideal fluid assumption.

[0114] Coefficient functions, dimensionless, are used to correct the difference between theoretical and actual values, taking into account practical factors such as fluid viscosity and turbulence.

[0115] Cross-sectional area at the neck of the pipe, unit: m²

[0116] Cross-sectional area at the air inlet of the pipe, unit: m²

[0117] Flow velocity at the neck of a Venturi tube, unit: m / s; the velocity of the fluid in the contraction section.

[0118] Pressure at the air inlet of the pipeline, unit: Pa

[0119] Pressure at the neck of the pipe, unit: Pa

[0120] Density, unit: kg / m³, the density of the fluid being measured.

[0121] For the simulation results, a correction coefficient function was added based on the original pressure-transformer flow rate formula. This solution uses machine learning to fit this... The function corrects for the entire range.

[0122] Meanwhile, the high-precision gas flow calibration instrument measures the actual gas flow rate in real time. , which serves as the standard gas flow rate for calibration.

[0123] (4) Repeated single-point data collection:

[0124] The gas generator has three speed settings: low, medium, and high. We selected the low speed setting (0-200 L / min) for this test; the data acquisition and processing methods for the other speed settings are the same. By adjusting the low speed setting of the gas generator to change the output flow rate, we repeatedly executed the data acquisition process to obtain multiple sets of measurement data and standard data at different flow rates.

[0125] (5) Data processing and correction:

[0126] The data x collected by the microcontroller (including...) is transmitted via serial communication. (etc.), the calculated flow rate value and the flow rate measured by a high-precision gas flow rate calibration instrument. The data is then transferred to a computer. Next, machine learning algorithms are used to perform in-depth analysis of the data to construct a correction function. The specific analysis and adjustment methods are as follows:

[0127] Error characteristics of different flow ranges (basis for machine learning fitting):

[0128] Low flow rate region: Susceptible to noise interference, with large fluctuations. Medium flow rate region: Good linearity. High flow rate region: Increased turbulence, prominent nonlinear characteristics.

[0129] 1. The dynamic adjustment method is as follows:

[0130] Will contain The full-range dataset is uniformly input into machine learning algorithms (FNN, GNN) for training, fitting a correction coefficient function that covers the entire range. .

[0131] Should Functions are learned (Right now , )and The relationship enables it to automatically and dynamically correct the above error characteristics according to different inputs x (corresponding to different flow zones), thereby strengthening the suppression of noise in the low zone and compensating for turbulence deviation in the high zone.

[0132] 2. Achieve accurate calibration across the entire measurement range:

[0133] Finally, the correction coefficient function obtained from training is... Substitute into the formula:

[0134] ,

[0135] After correction, the error in the low range can be stably controlled within 5%.

[0136] The final correction function is constructed in this way, achieving accurate calibration of the full-range flow rate. Specifically, two types of neural networks are used: one is a feedforward neural network (FNN) as... The first method is to use a fitter to fit the complex nonlinear relationship between flow velocity and pressure; the second method is to use a graph neural network (GNN) to predict sensor measurements based on the structural features of the pressure field, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the data.

[0137] The gas generator serves as the system's airflow source, producing a stable and adjustable flow rate. Its output flow rate range can be flexibly set according to the measurement requirements of the instrument to be calibrated, covering the low, medium, and high flow rate ranges. The built-in sensor acquires the original measured physical quantity vector via serial communication. Calculated flow rate values and the flow rate measured by a high-precision gas flow rate calibration instrument. Transmitted to the terminal device.

[0138] Among them, the piecewise correction method based on machine learning uses two types of neural networks: one is a feedforward neural network (FNN) to fit the complex nonlinear relationship between flow velocity and pressure, and solve the deviation problem under extreme flow rates; the other is a graph neural network (GNN) to predict sensor measurements based on the structural features of the pressure field, thereby improving data accuracy and reliability.
