与人体肺部耦合的生命支持设备构成了一个复杂的非线性动态系统。当前的呼吸面罩测试标准依赖于正弦呼吸机和替代性气管几何结构，这些结构大大降低了具有生理相关性的气道惯性。本文表明，ISO 16900-5 标准气管无法产生具有生理意义的呼气动量，从而限制了标准测试配置揭示与人体使用相关的阀门动力学的能力。本文引入了一种基于生理学的“唇形喷嘴”替代结构作为诊断工具，以恢复真实的动量传递，从而能够观察到在现有测试条件下无法观察到的呼气行为。结合该替代结构的非线性动态仿真揭示了一种力平衡的工作状态，在该状态下，呼气射流动量可以抵消流动引起的阀门阻力，在一个代表性案例中，将呼气平均有效压力从阻力性逆转为辅助性。这种效应取决于阀门恢复力与升程之间的关系，代表了与未来阀门开发相关的设计考量。本文讨论了对面罩设计、阀门放置位置及未来测试方法的影响。这项工作并未提出新的性能限值或接受标准；相反，它展示了当前的测试装置如何抑制惯性及动量驱动的效应，而这些效应可能对呼气阀动力学产生实质性影响。
英文摘要
Life support equipment coupled to the human lungs forms a complex, nonlinear dynamic system. Current respiratory mask test standards rely on sinusoidal breathing machines and surrogate trachea geometries that substantially reduce physiologically relevant airway inertance. This paper shows that the ISO 16900-5 trachea does not generate physiologically meaningful exhalation momentum, limiting the ability of standard test configurations to reveal valve dynamics relevant to human use. A physiologically motivated ``lip-nozzle'' surrogate is introduced as a diagnostic tool to restore realistic momentum transfer, enabling observation of exhalation behavior that is not observable under existing test conditions. Nonlinear dynamic simulations incorporating this surrogate reveal a force-balanced operating regime in which exhalation-jet momentum can offset flow-induced valve resistance, in one representative case reversing exhalation mean effective pressure from resistive to assistive. This effect depends on the relationship between the valve's restoring force and lift, representing a design consideration relevant to future valve development. Implications for mask design, valve placement, and future test methods are discussed. This work does not propose new performance limits or acceptance criteria; rather, it demonstrates how current test fixtures suppress inertance- and momentum-driven effects that can materially influence exhalation valve dynamics.
