[0044] Embodiments

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 A structure schematic diagram of a low-temperature and low-gas-pressure test box provided by the embodiments of the present application; Figure 2 A structure schematic diagram of an internal system of a low-temperature and low-gas-pressure test box provided by the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 A low-temperature and low-gas-pressure test box, comprising a box body, wherein the box body is internally provided with:

[0046] A humidity evaporator 3 for controlling humidity stability and / or refrigeration in the box body;

[0047] The refrigeration system 1 comprises a temperature evaporator 12 and a humidity evaporator liquid cooler (not shown in the figure), wherein the temperature evaporator 12 is used to realize refrigeration function or / and dehumidification function; and the humidity evaporator liquid cooler is used to constantly cool the temperature of the cooling liquid 2;

[0048] A heater for temperature adjustment;

[0049] An air agitator for air circulation;

[0050] A dew point temperature sensor 4 arranged on the surface of the humidity evaporator 3 for real-time detection of the actual temperature value of the surface of the humidity evaporator 3; or detection of the temperature inside or outside the liquid flow pipeline of the humidity evaporator 3;

[0051] A cooling liquid 2 for heat exchange between the refrigeration system 1 and the humidity evaporator 3 under the power provided by the circulating pump 5;

[0052] The control system is used to control the temperature in the box to be kept in a preset temperature range by the refrigeration system 1 and / or the humidity evaporator 3 and the heater, control the humidity in the box to be kept in a preset humidity range by the humidity evaporator 3 and / or the temperature evaporator 12, and adjust the working parameters of the refrigeration system 1 according to the actual temperature value collected by the dew point temperature sensor 4 in real time, so that the refrigeration system 1 adjusts the temperature of the cooling liquid 2.

[0053] Specifically, the refrigeration system 1 includes a compressor, a condenser, a throttling device and an evaporator 12, the cooling liquid 2 circulates in the refrigeration system 1 and the temperature evaporator 12, the refrigeration system 1 controls the temperature in the test box, and the temperature of the cooling liquid is kept constant by the humidity evaporator liquid cooler in the refrigeration system 1; the temperature of the cooling liquid 2 is controlled separately, so that the temperature of the cooling liquid 2 is kept constant, the preset temperature value in the box is kept, and the preset low temperature in the test box is kept.

[0054] The humidity evaporator 3 is connected with the dew point temperature sensor 4, and the cooling liquid 2 circulates in the humidity evaporator 3 by the circulating pump 5, so that the dew point temperature on the surface of the humidity evaporator 3 is kept constant.

[0055] Specifically, the dew point temperature refers to the temperature at which the air is cooled to saturation under the condition that the water vapor content and the air pressure do not change, that is, the temperature at which the water vapor in the air becomes dew is called the dew point temperature. The smaller the dew point temperature is than the temperature of the surrounding environment, the smaller the possibility of dew formation is.

[0056] Since the temperature of the cooling liquid 2 is controlled by the refrigeration system 1 to be kept constant at a low temperature, the dew point temperature on the surface of the humidity evaporator 3 is controlled by circulating the cooling liquid 2 in the humidity evaporator 3, and the constant temperature of the cooling liquid 2 corresponds to the dew point temperature value corresponding to the temperature and humidity value set in the box, the cooling liquid 2 is circulated in the humidity evaporator 3 by the circulating pump 5, the dew point temperature on the surface of the humidity evaporator 3 in the box is indirectly controlled to correspond to the dew point temperature value corresponding to the temperature and humidity value set in the box, so that the humidity in the box is kept constant at a low temperature and low air pressure, the surface of the humidity evaporator 3 is prevented from being rapidly frozen at a low temperature, and the humidity in the test box is controlled.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, since the surface temperature of the humidity evaporator 3 is kept constant near the dew point temperature set in the test box, the humidity in the test box is stable and kept at a certain humidity at a low temperature, for example, at-20℃ / 70r.h%, the surface of the humidity evaporator 3 is slowly frozen to prolong the constant time of the temperature and humidity, and the method of controlling the dew point temperature of the humidity evaporator 3 effectively prevents the surface of the humidity evaporator 3 from being rapidly frozen at a low temperature, which leads to the loss of control of the temperature and humidity.

[0058] In addition, the pressure sensor 6 is used for detecting the pressure in the box; the temperature and humidity sensor 7 is used for detecting the temperature and humidity in the box;

[0059] Specifically, the preset temperature and humidity value and the air pressure value are set in the box, the air pressure in the box is monitored in real time by the pressure sensor 6, the temperature and humidity value of the box is monitored in real time by the temperature and humidity sensor 7 and is sent to the control system, the control system calculates and controls the constant temperature of the cooling liquid 2, the dew point temperature of the surface of the humidity evaporator 3 and the dew point temperature of the temperature and humidity set in the box to keep consistent according to the temperature and humidity value and the air pressure value in the box.

[0060] Working principle: the control system controls the refrigeration system 1 to operate so that the temperature in the box and the temperature of the cooling liquid 2 are constant, and the cooling liquid 2 with constant temperature circulates in the humidity evaporator 3, the dew point temperature of the surface of the humidity evaporator 3 and the dew point temperature of the temperature and humidity set in the box are controlled to keep consistent to control the humidity in the box, which effectively avoids the rapid icing of the surface of the humidity evaporator 3 in the low-temperature state, resulting in the loss of control of temperature and humidity.

[0063] Specifically, compared with the traditional boiling water supplementing air method, the water temperature and flow control mode is adopted in the embodiment, the water temperature in the water tank 13 is collected in real time by the water temperature sensor 8 and is sent to the control system, the control system adjusts the water temperature of the water tank 13 according to the dew point temperature value corresponding to the temperature and humidity value set in the box and the pressure value, so that the water temperature in the water tank 13 remains constant. The compressed air source 14 takes away the saturated steam through the constant water temperature of the water tank 13 to keep the humidity of the box constant.

[0064] In addition, the water tank 13 is connected to the compressed air source 14 through a pipeline, the pipeline between the water tank 13 and the compressed air source 14 is connected with a flow meter 15, and the pipeline connected between the water tank 13 and the box is provided with a water supplementing adjusting valve 16, and the control system is used for adjusting the flow of the flow meter 15 and adjusting the opening and closing of the water supplementing adjusting valve 16.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, the humidity is controlled by adjusting the flow rate of the flow meter 15, the water tank 13 is provided with a water temperature sensor 8, and the compressed air source 14 removes saturated steam through the constant water temperature of the water tank 13 to keep the humidity of the tank constant. This method greatly reduces the temperature of the water vapor, and the heat released by the saturated steam entering the tank at low temperature is small, achieving the effect of energy saving and stable humidity.

[0066] Further, the water tank 13 is provided with a water supplementing adjusting valve 16 on the pipeline connected to the tank, and the control system judges whether humidification is needed according to the real-time temperature and humidity values and pressure values collected by the temperature and humidity sensor 7 and the pressure sensor 6 in the tank to control the opening and closing of the water supplementing adjusting valve 16.

[0067] Specifically, when the tank does not need to control humidity, the humidity control function is closed through the water supplementing adjusting valve 16.

[0068] Further, a vacuum system 9 is further included, which is in communication with the tank for adjusting the pressure in the tank; the vacuum system 9 is provided with a vacuum adjusting valve 17 on the pipeline between the tank, and the control system is used to control the opening degree or on-off of the vacuum adjusting valve 17 and the operation of the vacuum system 9 according to the set pressure value in the tank.

[0070] Specifically, the vacuum system 9 is in communication with the tank, and the vacuum system 9 can adjust the pressure in the tank to a preset value, such as the pressure of a simulated aircraft flying at high altitude, so as to set a low pressure in the tank.

[0071] The control system acquires the pressure value in the tank and compares it with the preset pressure value to calculate and judge whether to start the vacuum system 9, and controls the pressure drop speed or pressure relief speed through the vacuum adjusting valve 17 and the pressure relief adjusting valve 18 to keep the pressure in the tank constant.

[0072] Further, the control system includes a controller signal collector 10 and a PID / switching value calculation output module 11, and the controller signal collector 10 is used to collect the signals of the pressure sensor 6, the temperature and humidity sensor 7, the dew point temperature sensor 4, and the water temperature sensor 8.

[0073] The PID / switching value calculation output module 11 is used to receive the signals and calculate and output adjusting signals.

[0074] The PID / switching value calculation output module 11 is used for receiving the signals and calculating the deviation values of the actual parameter values of each module from the preset parameter values to control the balance and stability of the pressure, temperature and humidity, temperature of the cooling liquid and water temperature of the water tank 13 of the cabinet, and can control the opening degree of the compressed air source 14 and the water supplement adjusting valve 16 to adjust the humidification amount, and control the opening degree of the vacuum adjusting valve 17 and the pressure relief adjusting valve 18 to adjust the pressure in the cabinet.
