The top walls of the lower box body 1 and the upper box body 2 are connected, and the bottom wall of the lower box body 1 is symmetrically provided with insulation boards 13. The two insulation boards 13 and the upper box body 2 form a first test cavity 6, and the side away from the two insulation boards 13 and the lower box body 1 form a second test cavity 7. Two first conveyor belts 8 are installed in the first test cavity 6.

Plate 13, and hot water is volatilized by the electric heating rod 12, the upper part of the first test chamber 6 is in a wet state, the sensor stays in the upper part for a period of time, and then the first conveyor belt 8 drives the sensor into the hot water to continue to stay for a period of time, and finally the first conveyor belt 8 rotates to move the sensor to the side close to the insulation plate 13, when the placement rod 902 contacts the connection between the lower box body 1 and the upper box body 2, the placement rod 902 tilts, and the internal sensor automatically enters the second test chamber 7, so that the sensor stays in a low temperature environment for a period of time, simulating the working conditions of the sensor under different environmental conditions, so as to obtain more accurate test results.

[0020] See also Figure 5 The top wall and the bottom wall of the placement rod 902 are both provided with ventilation holes 905 in an array, so that the sensor inside the placement slot can be fully exposed to water vapor.

[0021] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7Two closing plates 14 are movably arranged on the top wall of the lower box body 1, and the two closing plates 14 are respectively located directly above the two insulation plates 13. Blocks 17 are arranged at the bottoms of the two closing plates 14 close to the side walls, and inclined surfaces are arranged on the side walls at the ends of the closing plates 14 close to the insulation plates 13; the closing plates 14 separate the first test cavity 6 and the second test cavity 7 to avoid temperature interference therebetween, and the placing rod 902 will lift the closing plates 14 after contacting the block 17, so as to facilitate the sensor to enter the second test cavity 7.

[0022] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 , both side walls of the upper box body 2 are provided with installation openings, and a water circulation mechanism 5 is arranged in the installation opening. The water circulation mechanism 5 includes a water tank 18 fixed in the installation opening, and both side walls of the water tank 18 are respectively connected with a water inlet pipe 20 and a water outlet pipe 21, one end of the water inlet pipe 20 and the water outlet pipe 21 are both connected with the second test chamber 7, a water pump is installed on the water inlet pipe 20, a pressure valve 22 is installed on the water outlet pipe 21, and a water adding pipe 23 is connected to the top wall of the water tank 18; a temperature sensor 16 is installed in the second test chamber 7; the water circulation mechanism 5 is used to keep the aqueous solution in the second test chamber 7 at a low temperature, which is conducive to long-term testing. The water tank 18 is made of heat-conducting material, which can accelerate the condensation of water vapor and prevent the air pressure in the first test chamber 6 from being too high.

[0023] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: first open the first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 4, add hot water into the first test chamber 6, add cold water into the second test chamber 7, and then use a driving mechanism (not shown) to drive the two first conveyor belts 8 to rotate synchronously. Figure 2 For example, the first conveyor belt 8 on the left side rotates clockwise, and the first conveyor belt 8 on the right side rotates counterclockwise. When the opening of the placement rod 902 faces the second opening, the sensor to be tested is placed in the placement groove of the placement rod 902, and then the first conveyor belt 8 continues to move so that the placement rod 902 is in a horizontal state (such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure), the first conveyor belt 8 stops rotating, the second cover plate 4 is covered, the electric heating rod 12 heats the hot water to accelerate the volatilization of the clean water, the upper part of the first test chamber 6 is in a wet state, so that the sensor stays there for a period of time, and then the first conveyor belt 8 continues to move, so that the sensor enters the hot water and continues to stay there for a period of time; After staying in the hot water for a sufficient time, the first conveyor belt 8 continues to move, so that the placement rod 902 moves toward one side of the second test chamber 7, and the placement rod 902 moves upward along the insulation plate 13. When it contacts the stopper 17, the closing plate 14 rises, and the first test chamber 6 and the second test chamber 7 are connected. When the placement rod 902 contacts the junction of the lower box body 1 and the upper box body 2, the placement rod 902 is forced to rotate, and the spring 904 and the torsion spring 903 are stretched. The sensor falls into the second test chamber 7 along the inclined placement rod 902. Under the action of gravity, the sensor falls on the receiving plate 11 and continues to stay in the cold water for a while. Finally, the second conveyor belt 10 on the left rotates counterclockwise, and the second conveyor belt 10 on the right rotates clockwise to send the sensor to the first opening. The operator takes out the sensor and tests whether the sensor can continue to work and whether water has entered the inside. The water tank 18 of the water circulation mechanism 5 is filled with clean water. The cold end of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 19 is located in the water tank 18 to cool the clean water. The temperature sensor 16 is used to detect the temperature of the cold water in the second test chamber 7. When the temperature of the cold water rises, the water pump is started to send the cold water in the second test chamber 7 into the water tank 18. Under the action of the water pressure, the pressure valve 22 is opened, and the cooling water enters the second test chamber 7, so that the cold water in the second test chamber 7 is always kept at a low temperature, and the water vapor in the first test chamber 6 can be quickly condensed after contacting the water tank 18, so as to avoid excessive pressure inside the first test chamber 6. In addition, when testing one group of sensors, the next group of sensors can be placed in the placement mechanism 9, and multiple groups of tests can be performed simultaneously, which are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other, thereby improving the test efficiency.

[0024] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of the present invention, but the content is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and cannot be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the present invention.
