Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical simulation models, and particularly relates to a machine-injured system for quantitative evaluation of biological aerosol respiratory exposure. BACKGROUND
[0002] Biological aerosol respiratory exposure analysis is a core link of nuclear and biological protection, biological threat early warning and combat effectiveness preservation. The enemy uses biological warfare agents such as anthrax, smallpox or genetically modified pathogens, which are usually released in the form of aerosols, and the particle size is optimized (usually 1-5 microns), aiming to maximize the lung deposition rate after being inhaled, so as to cause large-scale, silent non-combat attrition. Therefore, real-time detection, identification and quantitative exposure evaluation of battlefield biological aerosols are directly related to whether the commander can issue an early warning in time, whether the troops can effectively take protective measures (such as wearing gas masks), and subsequent decontamination and medical treatment, which is a strategic requirement for maintaining the stability of the operational system and protecting the lives and safety of officers and soldiers. Common technical means include biological aerosol warning devices deployed at the front line or important nodes, which mostly use laser-induced fluorescence technology to detect the biological fluorescence signal of particles in the air to achieve rapid alarm, but are prone to false alarms due to interference of pollen, dust and other non-warfare agents; more certain means is to use mobile samplers combined with PCR or mass spectrometry for on-site identification.
[0003] However, these technologies mainly monitor the environmental background concentration, and cannot accurately confirm the actual inhaled dose of war agents of individual soldiers in specific combat postures (such as running, crawling) and respiratory states, which exposes the broken chain from “environmental threat” to “individual risk” evaluation of traditional means.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The following is combined Figures 1-5 The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. In the description of the invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
[0025] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature; in the description of the invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0026] Example 1 The use of highly realistic human simulators provides a groundbreaking assessment and training tool for military biodefense. Its significance lies in elevating biothreat assessment from vague environmental monitoring to precise individual inhalation dose measurement, directly serving individual soldier protection, equipment verification, and tactical decision-making. This technology fundamentally solves several long-standing pain points in military protection: First, it enables quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of protective equipment under realistic conditions. By having simulators wearing various gas masks or protective suits perform standard tactical maneuvers (such as shooting and advancing) in contaminated environments, and monitoring the actual dose of war agent entering their respiratory tract in real time, the protective factors of different equipment can be scientifically quantified, and weak points in sealing can be identified, providing irrefutable data support for equipment selection and improvement. Second, it solves the problem of accurately predicting exposure doses in complex battlefield environments. Simulators can simulate the high lung ventilation of soldiers under high-intensity exercise and the impact of different postures (such as a prone position causing the breathing zone to be close to the ground) on aerosol inhalation, thereby constructing a more realistic "environmental concentration-inhalation dose-infection probability" model, providing a basis for formulating battlefield rules such as evacuation distances and protection levels. Furthermore, it provides a safe and highly realistic platform for biological threat training, allowing soldiers to intuitively understand exposure risks and enhance their protective awareness, in conjunction with sensor data. However, currently there are few machine-based casualty systems for quantitative assessment of bioaerosol exposure, making it impossible to accurately obtain the current biological threat status of the environment. Therefore, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a machine casualty system for quantitative assessment of bioaerosol respiratory exposure, including a human body shape subsystem, a biomimetic respiratory subsystem, a simulated lung subsystem, and an aerosol analysis unit 17.
[0027] The human body shape subsystem is a simulated human body model; the bionic breathing subsystem is set inside the simulated human body model, including a nasal cavity simulation structure, an oral cavity simulation structure, a pharyngeal simulation structure, and a trachea simulation structure 1 connected in sequence to form a bionic breathing chain; the simulated lung subsystem is set inside the simulated human body model, including a linear drive structure, a cylinder 5, an exhaust pipe 3, and a piston 7 slidably set inside the cylinder 5; the rear end of the trachea simulation structure 1 is connected to the cylinder 5 through a first one-way valve 4; one end of the exhaust pipe 3 is connected to the cylinder 5 through a second one-way valve 16, and the other end is connected to the front end of the trachea simulation structure 1 through a filter; the linear drive structure drives the piston 7 to move, forming a complete intake airway through the bionic breathing chain.
[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3The figures shown are a three-dimensional view and a two-dimensional view of the internal structure of the simulated lung subsystem. The linear drive structure includes a simulation box 6, a sliding rail 8, a moving plate, a lead screw 9, an L-shaped frame plate 14, a second conical friction wheel 11, a cylinder 15, and two first conical friction wheels 10. Cylinder 5 is fixedly installed inside simulation chamber 6; sliding rail 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of simulation chamber 6; one end of the moving plate is slidably installed inside the sliding rail 8, and the other end is fixedly connected to the piston tail; lead screw 9 passes through one end of the moving plate and is threadedly engaged with the moving plate; both ends of lead screw 9 are respectively drivenly connected to both ends of sliding rail 8; two first conical friction wheels 10 are arranged opposite each other, and their tips are connected by a short shaft; one of the first conical friction wheels 10 is drivenly connected to lead screw 9; motor 13 is fixedly installed on the inner side of L-shaped frame plate 14; second conical friction wheel 11 is drivenly connected to the output shaft of motor 13 through rotating shaft 12; cylinder 15 is mounted inside simulation chamber 6, and its telescopic end is fixedly connected to the outer side of L-shaped frame plate 14; when cylinder 15 drives the second conical friction wheel 11 to move back and forth, it rubs against the conical surfaces of the two first conical friction wheels 10 respectively. The telescopic movement of cylinder 15 can drive the second conical friction wheel 11 to move back and forth. Because the forward and reverse switching speed of the motor involves deceleration to 0 and then acceleration in the opposite direction, using the forward and reverse rotation of the motor to control the piston movement results in acceleration and deceleration processes, which is not ideal for simulating breathing, especially in special breathing states such as running and crawling. Therefore, this invention proposes using a uniformly rotating motor, through a friction wheel transmission method combined with the transmission principle of a lead screw and slider, to control the back-and-forth movement of the piston. This control method eliminates obvious acceleration and deceleration, thus more closely mimicking the breathing state. Furthermore, the forward and reverse rotation sequence of the first conical friction wheel 10 is set to simulate the breathing process under different combat conditions. Combined with the biomimetic breathing subsystem and the simulated lung subsystem, a breathing chain under combat conditions is formed.
[0029] Furthermore, one end of the exhaust pipe 3 is connected to the cylinder 5 via the second one-way valve 16, and the other end is connected to the trachea simulation structure 1 via a filter. The oral cavity simulation structure, pharyngeal simulation structure, and trachea simulation structure 1 are all equipped with detection points. The aerosol analysis unit 17 is connected to each detection point for sampling. Fluorescence spectra are obtained using laser light scattering, and the laser analysis system determines the particle size distribution and concentration of aerosols at each detection point based on the fluorescence spectra. Two sets of one-way valves are used to simulate the intake and exhaust states, creating two separate channels and providing a buffer position. This prevents the collision of the two airflows from creating resistance to piston movement, thus avoiding impact on the breathing simulation of rapid ventilation (running-type combat modes).
[0030] Specifically, the aerosol analysis unit 17 includes an aerosol laser analysis sensor, an air pump, an inlet multi-port pipe, an outlet multi-port pipe, and multiple straight-through interfaces and T-type interfaces. One end of each straight-through interface is connected to one side of each detection point, and the other end is connected to a first clamp valve via a pipe and to the inlet multi-port pipe. The inlet multi-port pipe is connected to the air inlet of the aerosol laser analysis sensor, the air outlet of the aerosol laser analysis sensor is connected to the air inlet of the air pump, and the air inlet of the air pump is connected to the outlet multi-port pipe. The T-type interface is placed in the pipe where the detection point is located. The straight portion of the T-type interface is arranged along the airflow direction, and the other end extends out to the other side of the detection point and is connected to a second clamp valve, which is connected to the air outlet of the air pump. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This invention describes the connection methods between the straight-through interface and the T-type interface and the detection point. The sampling port and exhaust port of the detection point are located on both sides of the detection point. This design matches the breathing flow rate without affecting it. The sampling port uses the straight-through interface to extract the bioaerosol sample, and the T-type interface to exhaust the clean gas. This prevents the exhausted clean gas from re-entering through the inlet. The sampling flow rate is approximately 1 L / min, consistent with the breathing airflow direction. Most of the exhaust gas flows with the airflow direction, thus not affecting the inlet sampling. Furthermore, this invention incorporates a detection point reuse scheme, such as... Figure 5 As shown, each detection point internally uses two pinch valves for switching selection. Only the selected detection point can be sampled; the air path to other unselected detection points is blocked, thus not affecting airflow. All detection points share the same air outlet and air inlet, reducing the need for external air tubing.
[0031] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 The diagram shown illustrates the overall architecture of an aerosol laser analysis sensor, including a scattering chamber, laser source, focusing lens, semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror, scattering light receiving photomultiplier tube, fluorescence receiving photomultiplier tube, and FPGA particle counting module. The system architecture diagram is shown below. Figure 8 As shown, data analysis is performed through an FPGA control system, and data transmission is performed using a communication module.
[0032] Specifically, the scattering light chamber includes a laser irradiation channel and an optical path channel. The laser irradiation channel has an air inlet and an air outlet at each end, connected to the air inlet multi-port pipe and the air pump inlet, respectively. The laser source is located on one side of the laser irradiation channel, with the irradiation direction perpendicular to the airflow of the laser irradiation channel, and the optical path passes through the laser irradiation channel. A focusing and shaping lens is positioned in front of the laser source. The focusing lens and a semi-transparent, semi-reflective lens are sequentially positioned on the other side of the laser irradiation channel, forming two optical paths: one for scattered light and one for fluorescence. Two collecting lenses are positioned on the two optical path paths. A scattered light receiving photomultiplier tube is connected to the scattering light chamber and receives the scattered light after passing through the collecting lens. A fluorescence receiving photomultiplier tube is connected to the scattering light chamber and receives the fluorescence after passing through the collecting lens. The FPGA particle counting module receives the electrical signal converted from the scattered light detected by the scattered light receiving photomultiplier tube and the electrical signal converted from the fluorescence detected by the fluorescence receiving photomultiplier tube, determining the particle size distribution and concentration.
[0033] Sensing principle as follows Figure 9 As shown, the airflow carries the test particles one by one through the photosensitive area. Excitation light in the illumination path continuously illuminates the particles passing through the photosensitive area. If the test particles are biological particles, they will be excited and emit fluorescence, while also producing scattered light. The fluorescence and scattered light are separated by a dichroic mirror and focused onto a scattered light detector and a fluorescence detector, respectively. This invention uses a scattered light receiving photomultiplier tube and a fluorescence receiving photomultiplier tube. The scattered light detector transmits the signal to a scattered light preamplifier, obtaining an analog voltage pulse signal proportional to the scattered light intensity; the fluorescence detector transmits the signal to a fluorescence preamplifier, obtaining an analog voltage pulse signal proportional to the fluorescence intensity. The pulse amplitude reflects the particle size. PSL microspheres of different sizes are used to calibrate the pulse amplitude for different particle sizes, thus allowing the optical particle size to be obtained based on the pulse amplitude. The scattered and fluorescence pulse signals are simultaneously converted into digital signals and input into the FPGA control system to extract the pulse amplitude. By calculating the number of pulses within different amplitude ranges, the number of biological and non-biological particles can be obtained.
[0034] The simulated human body model, nasal cavity simulation structure, oral cavity simulation structure, pharyngeal simulation structure, and tracheal simulation structure 1 of this invention are constructed using 3D scanning technology and CT scan reconstruction technology to obtain a realistic human shape and physiological structure of the respiratory chain. These structures are simplified and modeled, and the materials used are all designed to fit actual human skin and internal structure. These are not key technologies in this invention. Specifically, the simplified results are as follows: The nasal cavity simulation structure is a single, continuous channel with a simulated nasal septum partition structure within it, forming two cavities. The oral cavity simulation structure includes, from top to bottom, simulated models of the upper teeth, upper teeth, oral cavity, mandible, and lower teeth. The pharyngeal simulation structure is a continuous cavity, including a simulated model of the oral cavity connection, the laryngopharyngeal piriform recess, and the transition area between them. The tracheal simulation structure 1 is a long, narrow tubular structure and a partial simulated bronchial structure.
[0035] This system organically integrates a human form subsystem, a bionic respiratory subsystem, and a simulated lung subsystem, forming the basis of a highly realistic and comprehensive robotic casualty model that simulates human respiratory function. The human form subsystem, through precise simulation design, achieves simulation of different body shapes, ensuring the normal operation of the respiratory system under various body postures. The bionic respiratory subsystem's simulated nasal cavity, oral cavity, pharynx, and trachea are sequentially connected, accurately simulating the airflow transmission path of the human body and realistically reproducing the human breathing process under normal and extreme environments. The simulated lung subsystem, through the configuration of linear drive structures, cylinders, and pistons, ensures the propulsion of airflow and the reproduction of the lung gas exchange process. This system can not only simulate conventional breathing patterns but also adjust the breathing state according to different human conditions under specific combat postures, achieving comprehensive simulation of the respiratory chain in combat environments. This structural design allows for timely feedback of changes in respiratory volume, simulating fluctuations in respiratory volume and gas flow under different combat states, thus providing a reliable simulation basis for further experiments analyzing the impact of aerosols on the respiratory system.
[0036] The biomimetic respiratory subsystem, as its core component, utilizes sophisticated simulation technology to construct a complete biomimetic respiratory chain. Simulated structures of the nasal cavity, oral cavity, pharynx, and trachea are sequentially connected, each meticulously designed to realistically simulate the structure and function of the human respiratory tract. The simulated nasal cavity structure mimics the initial purification, heating, and humidification of air; the simulated oral cavity and pharynx structures reflect further regulation and control of airflow; and the simulated trachea structure achieves deep airflow transmission. The simulated lung subsystem, through cylinders, pistons, and linear drive structures, accurately simulates the gas exchange process in the lungs, ensuring stable and dynamic regulation of respiratory airflow. In combat environments, the human respiratory state is affected by various factors, such as body position, posture, and movement. The system can simulate these changes and, by adjusting the breathing volume and airflow path, simulate the respiratory needs under specific combat postures, ensuring accurate simulation of the respiratory system in different situations. Simultaneously, the system design incorporates biomimetic principles, making it more consistent with human physiological characteristics, improving overall adaptability and simulation accuracy, and ensuring efficient reproduction of respiratory states under various complex situations.
[0037] The aerosol analysis unit is a key component of the system. Through real-time sampling and analysis, it accurately assesses the aerosol particle size distribution and concentration at various detection points in the biomimetic breathing subsystem. The aerosol analysis unit relies on laser light scattering to acquire fluorescence spectra, enabling efficient and precise detection and analysis of aerosol exposure at different locations. In the biomimetic breathing subsystem, each detection point in the simulated oral cavity, pharynx, and trachea is equipped with an aerosol sampling device. These devices collect particle data in the airflow during each breath. Laser light scattering measures the scattering of aerosols by a laser beam to obtain their fluorescence spectra, further analyzing the aerosol particle size distribution and concentration. The high precision and real-time performance of this process provide a scientific basis for multi-point aerosol exposure. Further processing of the fluorescence spectra by the laser analysis system reveals the aerosol exposure at each detection point under different breathing conditions. This provides valuable data support for environmental protection, respiratory health research, and combat protection design. Furthermore, this technology can also help identify potential respiratory risks by analyzing changes in aerosol particle size and concentration, thereby providing more precise protective measures for human health.

However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
