[0056] The humanoid breathing device 600 includes: a standard human head model 601, a humanoid lung device 610, a simulated breathing temperature control device 620, and a simulated breathing humidity control device 630; the standard human head model 601 is equipped with the humanoid lung device 610; the humanoid lung device 610 can simulate the human body's circulatory breathing flow rate, the humidity generated by human respiration, and the temperature generated by human respiration; the simulated breathing temperature control device 620 is used to control the temperature generated by the simulated human respiration by the humanoid lung device 610, and the simulated breathing humidity control device 630 is used to control the humidity generated by the simulated human respiration by the humanoid lung device 610; respiratory protective equipment 1 can be worn on the standard human head model 601; the human body's circulatory breathing flow rate is a sinusoidal circulatory breathing flow rate; after the humanoid lung device 610 inhales gas, the gas is used for respiration through the humanoid lung device 610, and the exhaled gas is discharged from the mouth and nose of the standard human head model 601.

[0057] The ventilation and purification device includes: an exhaust duct 740, an air exhaust duct 750, and an air purification device 760; one end of the exhaust duct 740 is connected to the interior of the sealed chamber 100, the other end of the exhaust duct 740 is connected to one end of the air exhaust duct 750, and the other end of the air exhaust duct 750 is connected to the exterior of the sealed chamber 100; the air exhaust duct 750 is equipped with the air purification device 760.

The other particulate counter monitors the actual particle size concentration outside the respiratory protective equipment 1 and transmits it to the main controller 400. The main controller 400 compares the actual particle size concentration with a preset particle concentration to control the dust generator 210, the organic solvent generator 220, and the ventilation and purification device, so that the internal particulate concentration of the sealed chamber 110 reaches the preset particle concentration.

[0063] The sealed chamber 110 is also equipped with an exhaust circulation device 730, which enables the gas in the sealed chamber 110 to circulate.

[0064] The sealed chamber 100 is equipped with an openable and closable sealed door 110.

The sealed chamber 100 is constructed using thermal insulation and internal anti-corrosion materials, and is a corrosion-resistant, rust-proof, anti-static, high-temperature resistant, non-aging, and visible structure. The sealed chamber 100 is equipped with an openable and closable sealed door 110, allowing access to the interior of the sealed chamber 100 from one side. This sealed door 110 must be ensured to be sealed when closed.

[0065] In this embodiment, for ease of heating and cooling, the heater 310 is a nickel-chromium alloy electric heater 310. The cooling system 320 is an air-cooled compressor cooling system 320.

[0066] The respiratory protective equipment protection effectiveness testing system can perform the following two tests:

[0067] The first type is the dust mask protection effect test, which can study the effects of dust concentration, ambient temperature, ambient humidity, breathing flow rate, dust loading, and dust mask wearing time on the dust mask filtration efficiency and breathing resistance;

[0068] The second type is the test of the protective effect of gas masks, which can study the effects of organic solvent concentration, ambient temperature, ambient humidity, breathing flow rate, organic solvent loading, and gas mask wearing time on the filtration efficiency and breathing resistance of gas masks.

[0069] Operating procedures for the respiratory protective equipment protective efficacy testing system:

[0070] 1) One set of respiratory protective equipment is installed on the humanoid lung device 610;

[0071] 2) Turn on the dust generator 210, set the dust concentration required for the test, and wait for the dust concentration in the sealed chamber 100 to stabilize;

[0072] 3) Turn on the temperature control device 300 and humidity control device 500, set the temperature and humidity required for the test, and wait for the temperature and humidity inside the sealed chamber 100 to stabilize;

[0073] 4) Turn on the human lung device 610, the simulated breathing temperature control device 620 and the simulated breathing humidity control device 630, and keep the dust generator 210 in the on state;

[0074] 5) The particulate counter records parameters such as temperature, humidity, and particulate concentration inside and outside the respiratory protective equipment 1 in real time within the sealed chamber 100;

[0075] 6) Turn off the dust generator 210 and turn on the air purification equipment 760 to purify the gas in the sealed chamber 100;

[0076] 7) Export the data and shut down the system.

[0077] Current domestic and international research indicates that the properties of dust, ambient temperature, ambient humidity, usage time, respiratory flow rate, worker facial features, and the protective performance of the respiratory protective equipment (RPE) itself are all factors affecting its protective effect. However, most studies are limited to analyzing the impact of a single factor on the protective performance of the RPE. Furthermore, only some standards mention recommended usage time for the RPE, and there is still no clear conclusion regarding the optimal wearing time. Therefore, it is not possible to provide users with scientifically sound recommendations for selection, use, and replacement of the RPE. This invention, based on recreating a work environment, constructs a sealed chamber 100 for testing the protective effect of the RPE. This chamber can simulate dust and organic solvent contact environments, laying the foundation for establishing the influence of temperature, humidity, particulate matter, wearing time, and human respiration on the protective effect of the RPE. This will provide scientific guidance for enterprises and workers to implement effective respiratory protection measures and reduce the health hazards of dust and toxic substances to workers.

[0078] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
