[0022] Meanwhile, the heating system in this embodiment includes a heating box 3, a heating power supply 2, a first temperature controller 5 and a first temperature sensor 15; The heating power supply 2 is electrically connected to the heating box 3 and is used to control the start and stop of the heating box 3; The first temperature sensor 15 is used to collect the temperature in the high temperature half box 16, and the first temperature sensor 15 is connected to the first temperature controller 5 by signal; The first temperature controller 5 is connected to the heating box 3 by signal, and can control the temperature of the heating box 3 .

[0023] Furthermore, the heating box 3 is provided with an electric heating plate and a blower.

[0024] Meanwhile, the refrigeration system includes a refrigeration box 4, a refrigeration power supply 1, a second temperature controller 6 and a second temperature sensor 14; The refrigeration power supply 1 is electrically connected to the refrigeration box 4 and is used to control the start and stop of the refrigeration box 4; The second temperature sensor 14 is used to collect the temperature in the low temperature half box 17, and the second temperature sensor 14 is connected to the second temperature controller 6 by signal; The second temperature controller 6 is connected to the refrigeration box 4 by signal, and can control the temperature of the refrigeration box 4 .

After starting the stepper motor 18, the sample 13 keeps circulating in and out of the high-temperature half box 16 and the low-temperature half box 17 along with the rotating plate 12. Each rotation of the sample 13 is recorded as a cycle, and the number is counted in the motor controller 9. When the specified cycle is reached, the motor controller 9 will issue an alarm. After the alarm is issued, the stepper motor 18 stops rotating and fixes the rotating plate 12 at the position of the vertical transparent insulation door 7 between the two boxes, and the heating box 5 and the refrigeration box 6 stop working; S4, after the sample 13 has cooled for a period of time, the transparent insulation door 7 is opened, the sample is taken out, and the experiment is completed.
