The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of training system for breathing equipment used in hazardous environments to provide realistic simulations, continuous monitoring, and feedback on proper equipment use, to train the users in an effective manner.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Breathing equipment is essential for professionals working in hazardous environments where the air may be contaminated or oxygen-deficient, such as in firefighting, industrial operations, and emergency response scenarios. These environments pose significant health risks, making the availability and proper use of reliable breathing apparatus critical for ensuring the safety and survival of individuals. The ability to use this equipment correctly under stressful conditions is a vital skill that requires comprehensive and effective training.
[0003] Traditional training systems for breathing equipment typically involve hands-on sessions where trainees practice donning, doffing, and using the equipment in controlled settings. These training sessions often use physical drills and theoretical lessons to teach the basics of equipment handling and emergency procedures. While these methods can be effective in familiarizing users with the equipment, they often lack the capability to simulate real-life scenarios accurately. This limitation can result in inadequate preparation for actual emergencies where quick, correct responses are crucial.
[0004] One significant drawback of traditional training systems is their inability to provide real-time feedback on user performance. Trainees may make mistakes in handling the equipment that go unnoticed during training, leading to the development of bad habits or incorrect techniques. These errors can be dangerous in actual emergency situations where there is no room for mistakes. Furthermore, traditional methods do not continuously monitor the condition of the breathing equipment, such as oxygen levels, which is a critical aspect of ensuring the equipment's functionality and the user’s safety.
2

[0005] Moreover, traditional training systems can be resource-intensive and logistically challenging. They require significant manual effort to set up and monitor training sessions, and the equipment used in training often needs regular maintenance and checks. This can lead to increased costs and time investment, making it less feasible to conduct frequent training sessions. As a result, trainees may not receive the ongoing practice and reinforcement needed to maintain their skills and preparedness over time. So, there exists a need to develop a system that is capable of allowing the user to perform training over the breathing equipment in a realistic manner to eliminate chances of any accident or panic occur at the time of real time applications.

The platforms (120) are manually adjusted to accommodate users of various sizes, ensuring a personalized training experience. The design also incorporates safety features such as non-slip surfaces to prevent accidents during training.
[0032] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, plurality of breathing equipment (130) are attached to the body (110) via one or more clip brackets (140). Each breathing equipment (130) is equipped with a face mask (150) intended to be worn by the user over the face. This mask (150) facilitates the inhalation of oxygen gas from the breathing equipment (130), mimicking real-world scenarios where such equipment (130) is critical. The face masks (150) are made from high-quality materials to ensure a secure fit and prevent the ingress of external air, thereby providing a controlled breathing environment. The clip brackets (140) are designed for ease of use, allowing quick attachment and detachment of the breathing equipment (130), which is essential for simulating emergency situations where speed is crucial.
[0033] Moreover, each of the breathing equipment (130) includes a compressed air cylinder filled with oxygen gas, a pressure regulator to maintain the steady pressure of the gas while inhaled by the user, a respiratory interface which is a face mask (150) as mentioned above and a connected harness to allow the user for donning and doffing of the cylinder while working within hazardous conditions.
[0034] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, an information detection module (160) is coupled with the body (110) for continuously monitoring the oxygen gas pressure within each of the breathing equipment (130) using pressure sensors. These sensors are highly sensitive and provide real-time
8

data on the oxygen gas levels, ensuring that users are constantly aware of the status of their equipment (130). In addition to monitoring oxygen gas pressure, the information detection module (160) is equipped with an image capturing unit that observes one or more actions performed by the user. This unit captures multiple images of the users during training, which are then processed to identify any anomalies in the actions performed by the users, such as improper donning or doffing of the equipment (130), or incorrect positioning of the face mask (150).
[0035] Furthermore, an alarming unit (170) communicably coupled with the information detection module (160) provides alerts to the users in various scenarios, such as when the oxygen gas pressure in any piece of breathing equipment (130) drops below a threshold value or when anomalies in user actions are detected.
