The invention discloses an apparatus for testing the response speed of a sensor, and a test method thereof. The apparatus comprises at least a set of a
test chamber, a gas inlet mechanism and a gas
discharge mechanism, wherein a
reference sensor and a sample holder are arranged in the
test chamber, the position and the temperature of the sample holder can be adjusted, the gas inlet mechanism is arranged above the sample holder, and is sequentially communicated to a valve 2, a valve 1 and a spraying
nozzle through a
gas supply tank, and a gas guiding
pipe orientation adjustment mechanism is positioned on a gas guiding
pipe between the valve 2 and the valve 1 and is positioned inside the
test chamber. According to the present invention, before the test, the position of the component and theopening degrees of each valve are determined by a
software simulation device, all the test signals are connected, a background gas is introduced into the test chamber from a gas inlet hole channel, the test value of the sensor device is read, the relative position of the to-be-tested sensor and the spraying
nozzle is adjusted, a to-be-tested target gas is sprayed, and the
transient state responseof the to-be-tested sensor is tested; and the structure of the apparatus is simple, and the method is novel and efficient, and is not limited by the use environment.
