Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental simulation technology, specifically to an indoor adjustable altitude environment exercise training system for high-altitude areas. Background Technology

[0002] Plateau regions typically refer to geographical areas with an altitude of 2,500 meters or higher. In these areas, atmospheric pressure and the partial pressure of oxygen in the air decrease proportionally with altitude. This low-pressure, hypoxic physical environment is the root cause of altitude sickness and directly limits the body's maximum exercise capacity and recovery efficiency. Current technologies utilize fixed pressurized chambers or oxygen-enriched rooms to provide an oxygen-rich environment within the space, alleviating hypoxia symptoms at rest. However, these facilities are usually not deeply integrated with systematic physical training equipment and scientific training monitoring programs. They struggle to provide dynamic and coordinated environmental support and safety control for the rapidly changing physiological needs during high-intensity exercise, and they also cannot achieve a smooth, programmable adaptive transition training from plains conditions to plateau conditions.

[0003] Physical training is crucial for personnel stationed or living in high-altitude areas for extended periods. However, the unique low-pressure, low-oxygen environment of high altitudes presents certain technical challenges. On one hand, during moderate-to-high-intensity physical training in the natural environment of high altitudes, the body's oxygen consumption increases dramatically, easily inducing or exacerbating acute altitude sickness, and even leading to life-threatening conditions such as high-altitude pulmonary edema and cerebral edema, making training extremely risky. On the other hand, if effective training is neglected for extended periods due to fear of risk, it can lead to a series of maladaptive problems such as decreased cardiopulmonary function, muscle atrophy, and metabolic disorders, similarly impairing health and work capacity.

[0004] To address this, an indoor adjustable altitude environment sports training system for high-altitude areas was designed to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an indoor adjustable altitude environment sports training system for plateau regions, solving the technical problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an indoor adjustable altitude environment exercise training system for plateau regions, comprising: A building cabin constructed in a high-altitude region has an airtight enclosure structure that can withstand the pressure difference between the inside and outside, thus forming a sealed indoor space isolated from the external low-pressure environment of the high-altitude region. A pressure control system, connected to the building cabin, is used to pump air into the sealed interior space and increase its internal pressure; the pressure control system includes an air compressor unit, a pressure sensor for monitoring the cabin pressure, and control valves for regulating air intake and exhaust; At least one set of fixed exercise training equipment is installed in the enclosed indoor space for users to conduct physical training; A central controller, which is signal-connected to the pressure regulation system, is configured to: Based on a preset or selected training mode, a target air pressure value is determined, which is higher than the air pressure of the plateau environment outside the building cabin. The pressure regulation system is controlled to increase and stabilize the pressure in the sealed indoor space at the target pressure value, thereby simulating an indoor atmospheric environment at an altitude lower than that of an actual plateau camp.

[0007] Preferably, the training mode includes: Plains Environment Training Mode: In this mode, the central controller controls the air pressure regulation system to keep the air pressure in the sealed indoor space stable at a target value corresponding to the standard plains atmospheric pressure over a long period of time. Stepped adaptation training mode: In this mode, the central controller controls the air pressure regulation system to reduce the simulated air pressure in the sealed indoor space in stages according to a preset, gradual time plan, so that it gradually and smoothly transitions from the initial higher air pressure value to the actual air pressure value at the plateau outside the cabin.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes: A physiological monitoring device for real-time monitoring of at least one physiological parameter of a user, including heart rate and blood oxygen saturation; The central controller is connected to the physiological monitoring device and is further configured to generate a safety alarm signal when the physiological parameters exceed a preset safety threshold, and / or control the exercise training equipment to reduce its operating load.

[0009] Preferably, the sports training device is an active sports simulation platform, which includes a six-degree-of-freedom motion base controlled by the central controller. The six-degree-of-freedom motion base is used to generate posture changes according to a preset program to simulate sports terrain.

[0010] Preferably, the central controller is further configured to: synchronously adjust the target air pressure value based on virtual scene data linked to the motion simulation platform, so as to simulate air pressure changes during movement at different virtual altitude terrains.

[0011] Preferably, it further includes an environmental maintenance system, which is signal-connected to the central controller, the environmental maintenance system comprising: Temperature and humidity control device for maintaining the temperature and humidity of the enclosed indoor space within a comfortable range; A fresh air and air purification device is used to provide ventilation for the enclosed indoor space and control the carbon dioxide concentration.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes an independent emergency backup device, comprising a manually operated mechanical quick-release valve installed on the building hull. The operation of the quick-release valve is independent of the central controller and is used to manually and quickly equalize the air pressure between the sealed interior space and the external environment in an emergency. This invention provides a training control method for the above-mentioned system, characterized by comprising the following steps: Based on the user's training needs, select the training mode and determine the corresponding target air pressure curve; The air pressure control system is activated to pressurize and stabilize the pressure of the sealed indoor space according to the target air pressure curve in order to establish the target training environment. The training plan is executed in the environment, and the training process is monitored and dynamically adjusted for safety based on real-time physiological data. After the training is completed, the air pressure in the sealed indoor space is gradually restored to a safe state. Beneficial effects

[0013] This invention provides an indoor adjustable altitude environment exercise training system for high-altitude areas. Through the collaborative operation of a sealed building structure and a high-precision air pressure control system, this invention creatively constructs an indoor training environment with controllable air pressure. By physically pressurizing the space, the system effectively increases the oxygen partial pressure, physiologically equivalent to "moving" the training environment to a lower altitude. This allows personnel stationed at high altitudes to safely conduct moderate-to-high intensity physical training equivalent to that at sea level, while completely avoiding the risk of acute altitude sickness, reliably maintaining basic physical fitness and athletic performance. Simultaneously, the system's programmed, stepped depressurization adaptation mode provides users with a smooth and controllable physiological adaptation path, significantly reducing the uncertainty and safety risks associated with adaptive training in natural high-altitude environments. The entire system has a clear technical approach, mature and reliable equipment, and avoids the safety and management challenges of oxygen-rich environments, providing a safe, practical, and easy-to-implement integrated solution for physical training and scientific adaptation in high-altitude areas.

[0016] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a technical solution: an indoor adjustable altitude environment exercise training system for plateau regions, comprising: A building cabin constructed in a high-altitude region has an airtight enclosure structure that can withstand the pressure difference between the inside and outside, thus forming a sealed indoor space isolated from the external low-pressure environment of the high-altitude region.

[0019] In this embodiment, the sports training device is further configured as an active sports simulation platform, which includes a six-degree-of-freedom motion base controlled by the central controller. The six-degree-of-freedom motion base is used to generate posture changes according to a preset program to simulate sports terrain.

[0022] This embodiment is further configured to include an independent emergency support device, which includes a manually operated mechanical quick-release valve installed on the building hull. The operation of the quick-release valve is independent of the central controller and is used to manually and quickly equalize the air pressure between the sealed indoor space and the external environment in an emergency. This invention provides a training control method for the above-mentioned system, characterized by comprising the following steps: Based on the user's training needs, select the training mode and determine the corresponding target air pressure curve; The air pressure control system is activated to pressurize and stabilize the pressure of the sealed indoor space according to the target air pressure curve in order to establish the target training environment. The training plan is executed in the environment, and the training process is monitored and dynamically adjusted for safety based on real-time physiological data. After the training is completed, the air pressure in the sealed indoor space is gradually restored to a safe state.

[0023] Its detailed connection method is a well-known technology in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and the specific work is as follows.

[0024] Example: The main body of the system is a specialized training building constructed at an altitude of approximately 3600 meters in a high-altitude region. The building is constructed using a lightweight steel structure and composite insulation panels. All doors and windows feature a double-glazed design with inflatable sealing strips, ensuring excellent airtightness and structural strength, and enabling the safe and stable maintenance of a maximum pressure difference of approximately 40 kPa between the interior and exterior. The interior of the building forms a sealed training space with dimensions of approximately 10 meters (length) × 6 meters (width) × 3 meters (height).

[0025] The core of the system is the air pressure control system. Two industrial-grade variable frequency screw air compressors operating in parallel are installed in a separate equipment room on the exterior of the building as the air source. Compressed air is delivered to the training space through insulated pipes. Air inlets are evenly distributed at the top of the space, and return air inlets are located at the bottom to facilitate uniform air circulation. Pressure control is achieved by a set of high-precision electric regulating valves and back pressure valves. These valves receive instructions from the central controller and achieve closed-loop control of the indoor pressure by precisely adjusting the intake and exhaust volumes. Multiple high-precision digital pressure sensors are installed inside the training space to monitor pressure data in real time and feed it back to the control system. This system can steplessly and precisely regulate and control the indoor air pressure between the external ambient air pressure (approximately 64 kPa, corresponding to an altitude of 3600 meters) and standard sea level air pressure (101.3 kPa), with a stable control accuracy of ±0.5 kPa.

[0026] Training Execution and Monitoring: The training space is equipped with various fixed fitness equipment, including two electric treadmills, one rowing machine, and a multi-strength training rack. Additionally, a six-DOF electric motion platform is provided, which can be fitted with a bicycle rack or ski simulator to provide an immersive, specialized training experience. All electric training equipment is connected to a central control system. To ensure training safety, a finger-clip pulse oximeter and heart rate monitor are provided for real-time monitoring of the user's blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate (HR) data.

[0027] Intelligent Control and Safety Assurance: The system's "brain" is an industrial-grade programmable logic controller (PLC) and a host computer monitoring system. The software includes various pre-installed training programs. For example, in the "Plain Constant Pressure Mode," the system's target air pressure is set to a constant 101.3 kPa. When this mode is activated, the air pressure regulation system automatically operates, raising the indoor air pressure from the outdoor 64 kPa and stabilizing it at the sea-level standard value. In this environment, any training performed by the user will result in the same oxygenation level as in plains, thus completely avoiding the risks associated with exercise due to low air pressure at high altitudes. Another feature is the "Stepped Pressure Reduction Adaptation Mode," which plans an adaptation program over several weeks. For example, the target air pressure is set at 95 kPa (approximately equivalent to an altitude of 500 meters) in the first week, decreasing to 85 kPa (approximately equivalent to an altitude of 1500 meters) in the second week, decreasing to 75 kPa (approximately equivalent to an altitude of 2500 meters) in the third week, and finally setting the target at 70 kPa (approximately equivalent to an altitude of 3000 meters) in the fourth week. The system will automatically adjust the environment to the target value during the daily training period to achieve a smooth and controllable physiological adaptation.

[0028] During training, the central controller continuously monitors the user's SpO2 and HR. Once SpO2 consistently falls below a preset safety threshold (e.g., 88%), the system immediately activates a linked safety strategy: automatically reducing the load on the treadmill or exercise platform used by the user, and simultaneously triggering an audible and visual alarm to alert the coach or safety officer to intervene. All environmental data, equipment status, and physiological data are displayed in real-time on the monitoring screen and recorded and stored.

[0029] Finally, the system is equipped with a mechanical emergency device independent of the automatic control. A large-diameter, manually operated quick-release valve is installed in a prominent location within the training space. In an emergency (such as a failure of the automatic control system), personnel can manually rotate this valve to rapidly release the high-pressure air inside the room within tens of seconds, achieving pressure balance with the external environment and ensuring a quick and safe evacuation.
