The water level pipe 11 is provided with a scale 13.
[0032] The utility model device adds water into the barrel body, and the water enters the lower end of the air storage liner through the drainage hole at the lower end of the air storage liner, and also enters the water level tube communicated with the barrel body, and the water is added to a specific position, such as the 0 scale; the exhaust valve at the upper end of the air storage liner is closed to make the inside of the air storage liner in a sealed state, and air is blown into the air storage liner through the air intake hose, the pressure in the air storage liner increases, and the water in the air storage liner will be squeezed into the barrel body, and further squeezed into the water level tube, so that the water level in the water level tube rises to a certain scale; the corresponding vital capacity can be known by checking the reading and the vital capacity comparison table, and the measurement is completed, and the measurement is simple; after the measurement is completed, the exhaust valve is opened, the pressure inside and outside the air storage liner is the same, the water level returns to the original position, that is, the 0 scale, and the measurement can be restarted.
[0033] The readings and the vital capacity comparison table may be different due to different barrel sizes, and can be calculated using the volume formula, which is convenient for direct reading during measurement. For example, in an experiment of measuring vital capacity using the device of this embodiment, the comparison table is as follows:
[0034]
[0035] The vital capacity data detected by the teaching material and teaching aid vital capacity measurement bag has low accuracy and can only roughly measure the vital capacity data. In addition, it is easy to leak during the measurement operation, resulting in more inaccurate measurement. The utility model measures the vital capacity data by the displacement method. The minimum scale reading converts the vital capacity to about 27ml, and the maximum range is about 3600ml, which meets the vital capacity measurement range of primary school stage.

[0038] A check valve is installed on the upper part of the gas storage tank, and the air intake hose is connected to the gas storage tank through the check valve to avoid gas backflow and achieve unidirectional gas flow, so that the water level tube maintains a stable liquid level, avoiding the problem of reading immediately after blowing, otherwise there will be errors, which can better allow students to read clearly and obtain more accurate data. The mouthpiece can better blow air into the gas storage tank. The scale on the water level tube can be achieved by, for example, sticking a scale strip on the water level tube to read the water level difference before and after blowing.
