[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an ultraviolet aging test chamber, including a chamber body 1, a test chamber 2 provided inside the chamber body 1, and further including:
[0023] The screen plate 3 is placed and detachably installed in the test chamber 2 via the adjustable bracket 4 to adjust the distance between it and the ultraviolet lamp tube 5. By setting the adjustable bracket 4, the light irradiation distance between the product to be tested placed on the screen plate 3 and the ultraviolet lamp tube 5 can be changed.
[0024] The ultraviolet lamps 5 and the spray pipes 6 are arranged in a staggered manner at the top of the test chamber 2 in the longitudinal direction; the lower end of the spray pipes 6 is connected to the water supply tank at the bottom of the chamber 1 through a water pump; so as to realize the ultraviolet irradiation and rain test environment of the product to be tested.
[0025] A water collection tray 7 is located at the bottom of the test chamber 2. An annular electric heating tube 8 is installed inside the water collection tray 7. A water inlet pipe 9 and an overflow pipe 10 are also provided on the water collection tray 7. The water inlet pipe 9 is used to automatically replenish water to the water collection tray 7, and the overflow pipe 10 is used to overflow excess water falling from the water collection tray 7 through the spray pipe 6 to the water supply tank. By controlling the heating of the annular electric heating tube 8, the water injected into the water collection tray 7 is heated to form water vapor, so as to humidify the test chamber 2. The relative humidity in the test chamber 2 reaches more than 95% through humidification, simulating the phenomenon of condensation on the surface of the product under test.
[0026] The adjustable bracket 4 includes four strip plates, which are symmetrically installed on the left and right inner walls of the test chamber 2, and bolt holes for fixing the mesh plate 3 are provided on the strip plates.
[0027] The spray pipe 6 also includes several spray nozzles arranged in a horizontal linear pattern, and the spray nozzles are spiral spray nozzles to increase the spray area of the product to be tested.
[0028] The spray pipe 6 and the water supply pipe 9 are connected to the water pump through a Y-shaped tee pipe, and electric ball valves are installed on the two branch pipes of the Y-shaped tee pipe to control the opening and closing of the spray pipe 6 and the water supply pipe 9.
[0029] The water collection pan 7 also includes an air distribution pan 11 that is connected to the external air pressure. The air distribution holes of the air distribution pan 11 are evenly opened on its surrounding side walls. At the same time, the height of the air distribution holes of the air distribution pan 11 is higher than the liquid level in the water collection pan 7. The air distribution pan 11 can balance the air pressure in the test chamber 2 and form a stable airflow channel, so that water vapor can be continuously and evenly delivered to the surface of the product to be tested in the test chamber 2.
[0030] The water collection pan 7 also includes a liquid level sensor to sense the liquid level height and realize the automatic water filling function. The test chamber 2 also includes a light irradiation sensor to sense the irradiation intensity of the ultraviolet lamp 5 and realize the power adjustment of the ultraviolet lamp 5.
[0031] In addition, this embodiment includes a PLC control box for controlling and adjusting the aforementioned electrical components. To more realistically simulate the material's outdoor usage conditions, the three environmental conditions of sunlight, condensation, and rain can operate independently, or the material can be subjected to a period of ultraviolet irradiation followed by humidification and condensation, then rain, and finally back to ultraviolet irradiation, in a cyclical manner. This combined cyclical approach allows for a more comprehensive assessment of the material's weather resistance under combined environmental conditions.
[0032] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model in any way. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the above disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the claims.
