The catheter 1 has an air inlet end and an air outlet end, and the air outlet end of the catheter 1 is communicated with the air inlet end of the respiratory function detector to be calibrated; the air outlet end of the piston pump is connected to the air inlet end of the catheter 1; the control end of the electric control component is electrically connected to the control end of the piston pump.

[0039] The piston pump pushes gas through the reciprocating motion of the piston. The air outlet end of the piston pump is connected to the air inlet end of the catheter 1, so as to press the gas into the catheter 1 to simulate different respiratory parameters. The air outlet end of the catheter 1 is connected to the air inlet end of the respiratory function detector to be calibrated, and the gas can flow from the catheter 1 into the detector to simulate the breathing of an animal.

[0040] The electric control component is responsible for controlling the working state of the piston pump. The electric control component includes: a power supply module 5, a main control circuit board 4, a display operation module 7 and a control module 6. The power supply module 5, the display operation module 7 and the control module 6 are all electrically connected to the main control circuit board 4, and the control end of the control module 6 is electrically connected to the control end of the piston motor 3.

[0041] The power supply module 5 provides the power supply for the entire device, ensuring the normal operation of each component. The main control circuit board 4 coordinates the work of each module, executes the preset control program through the processor, and manages the operation of the entire system. The display and operation module 7 provides a user interface, usually a touch display screen, through which users can set and adjust various parameters, such as respiratory rate, tidal volume, etc. The control module 6 is responsible for specifically executing the control commands issued by the main control circuit board 4, directly controlling the working state of the piston motor 3, and ensuring that the piston pump works according to the set parameters.

[0042] Embodiment 2

[0043] The piston pump includes: a gas piston 2 and a piston motor 3,

[0044] The gas outlet end of the gas piston 2 is communicated with the gas inlet end of the conduit 1; the driving end of the piston motor 3 is connected to the gas piston 2 and drives the gas piston 2 to move. The gas flow during the breathing process is simulated by the piston pump. The piston motor 3 is connected to the gas piston 2 through its driving end and drives the reciprocating motion of the gas piston 2, thereby generating a gas flow to simulate the breathing of experimental animals.

[0045] The gas piston 2 includes a housing, a plug body and a reciprocating push rod. The plug body is arranged inside the housing. The outer side surface of the plug body is in dynamic seal with the inner side surface of the housing. The moving end of the reciprocating push rod is connected to the plug body and pushes the plug body to move inside the housing. The driving end of the reciprocating push rod is connected to the driving end of the piston motor 3; the dynamic seal refers to the sealing state between the plug body and the inner side surface of the housing, which allows the plug body to move while ensuring the sealing performance.

[0046] An air inlet and an air outlet are provided on the housing. The air outlet of the housing is communicated with the air inlet end of the conduit 1, and the air inlet of the housing is communicated with the atmosphere. An air outlet check valve is provided at the air outlet of the housing, and an air inlet check valve is provided at the air inlet of the housing.

[0047] The design of the air inlet and the air outlet ensures that gas can freely enter and exit the housing, thereby simulating the gas flow during the breathing process. The air inlet is communicated with the atmosphere, allowing fresh air to enter the housing; the air outlet is communicated with the air inlet end of the conduit 1, allowing gas to flow from the housing to the conduit 1 and finally enter the respiratory function detector. The function of the check valve is to ensure the unidirectionality of gas flow, that is, gas can only enter from the air inlet and discharge from the air outlet, preventing gas from flowing back. The air inlet check valve is installed at the air inlet of the housing to ensure that gas can only enter the housing from the atmosphere and prevent the gas inside the housing from flowing back to the atmosphere. The air outlet check valve is installed at the air outlet of the housing to ensure that gas can only be discharged from the housing into the conduit 1 and prevent the gas in the conduit 1 from flowing back into the housing.

[0048] In summary, driven by the piston motor 3, the gas piston 2 can accurately simulate the gas flow during breathing through the movement of the reciprocating push rod, ensuring that the gas can only flow in a predetermined direction, thereby achieving precise calibration of the respiratory function detector.

The piston pump, the power module 5, the main control circuit board 4, and the control module 6 are all arranged inside the resin housing.

[0051] The resin housing effectively protects the internal piston pump, power module 5, main control circuit board 4, and control module 6 from damage by the external environment, such as dust, moisture, and physical shock. The display operation module 7 is arranged outside the resin housing, enabling users to conveniently view and set various parameters without opening the housing.

[0052] The resin housing is also provided with a power indicator light and a power switch connected to the main control circuit board 4. Through the power indicator light, users can intuitively see the power status of the device and confirm whether the device is normally powered on and operating. The power switch facilitates users to control the opening and closing of the device, with simple and quick operation.

[0055] Connect the power supply. Power on the device.

[0056] The display operation module detects whether there is a touch instruction. If not, it continues to standby; if so, it waits for the input of an operation instruction. That is, after power on, the display operation module starts to detect whether there is a touch instruction. If no touch instruction is detected, the device will continue to remain in the standby state to save energy and extend the device life. If a touch instruction is detected, the display operation module enters the state of waiting for the input of an operation instruction.

[0057] During the process of waiting for the input of an operation instruction, the user inputs the corresponding operation instruction through the display operation module (usually a touch screen). The main control circuit board receives the operation instruction and determines the propulsion rate and single working duration of the piston pump according to the operation instruction; the propulsion rate refers to the moving speed of the piston during the operation of the piston pump, and the single working duration refers to the continuous working time of the piston pump after each start.

[0058] Wait for the input of a start instruction;

[0059] After receiving the start instruction, the piston pump is controlled by the control module to work; the piston pump starts to work according to the set propulsion rate and single working duration.
