Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of climate simulation type test chamber technology, and more particularly to a portable climate simulation type test chamber. Background Technology

[0002] The main function of climate simulation type test chambers is to simulate various climatic environmental conditions for reliability testing, environmental adaptability testing, or type testing of products or materials. They are widely used in industrial product design verification, quality inspection, and material research and development. Currently, most commonly used climate test chambers are fixed devices, which are large in size, complex to install, and inconvenient to move, making it difficult to meet the needs of on-site testing or portable applications. Moreover, most traditional test equipment lacks flexible power control and multi-dimensional data acquisition functions, making it difficult to achieve closed-loop control of test data, energy efficiency assessment, and multi-source comparison, thus failing to meet the increasingly complex testing needs of modern products. To solve the above problems, this application proposes a portable climate simulation type test chamber. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Based on the technical problems existing in the background technology, the present invention proposes a portable climate simulation test chamber.

[0004] The portable climate simulation test chamber proposed in this invention includes an electrical control box with an opening on the front, and an electrical control box cover is rotatably mounted on the front of the electrical control box. It also includes: power supply, circuit breaker, transformer, type test system, PLC controller and data acquisition unit; The circuit breaker is connected to the power supply and the transformer. The PLC controller is connected to the data acquisition unit and the type test system through a communication interface. The data acquisition unit is connected to the transformer and the type test system through a communication interface. The data acquisition unit has a built-in Internet of Things module. The rear inner wall of the electrical control box is equipped with guide rails, terminal blocks and wire troughs. The circuit breaker is installed on the guide rails and the wire troughs are located below the terminal blocks. The data acquisition unit, transformer and overcurrent protector are all installed on the rear inner wall of the electrical control box. The PLC controller is fixedly connected to the rear side of the electrical control box cover. The type test system includes an overcurrent protector, a power regulation output module, a heating element, a humidifying element, a cooling element, and a dehumidifying element. The overcurrent protector is connected to the power regulation output module and the heating element.

[0005] Preferably, the data acquisition unit includes an ambient temperature and humidity sensor, an electrical parameter data acquisition unit, a test temperature and humidity sensor, and a power sensor. The ambient temperature and humidity sensor is installed on the outside of the electrical control box to record external environmental conditions as a basis for comparison and compensation. The test temperature and humidity sensor is installed inside the electrical control box to measure the temperature and humidity inside the box in real time for precise control and recording of test data. The electrical parameter data acquisition unit is used to collect voltage, current, active power, and power factor data of the entire type test system and feed them back to the PLC controller as a basis for regulation. The power sensor is used to collect power data of components within the type test system in real time and feed them back to the PLC controller.

[0007] Preferably, the circuit breaker is used for power outage protection in the event of a fault; The overcurrent protector is used to quickly cut off power when the current is too high, to prevent equipment damage and ensure safety.

[0008] Preferably, the power regulation output module is used to adjust the output power according to control commands to drive the components inside the type test system. Its specific operating logic steps are as follows: S101: The power regulation output module receives control commands from the PLC controller 7 via the 485 communication interface. The control commands include: target power, voltage, current, regulation time, and output channel information. S102: The power regulation output module parses the received instructions through internal control logic and extracts the regulation target value, which includes the heating and cooling power corresponding to the target temperature and humidity. S103: The power regulation output module reads its own output status parameters in real time, including the current output voltage, current, and power, and obtains external feedback data from the power sensor and electrical parameter data acquisition unit to form an input-output comparison. S104: Compares the current power output value with the target power value to determine if the deviation exceeds the limit. If the deviation is within the allowable range, maintains the current output; otherwise, enters the adjustment process. During the comparison process, it uses... The sign of the deviation indicates whether the current demand is for heating (ΔT>0) or cooling (ΔT<0), and the control intensity is determined based on the magnitude of the deviation. S105: Employs a PID closed-loop control algorithm to regulate the output voltage and current, gradually bringing the values ​​closer to the target values. The mathematical expression used is: ; Where k is the current sampling period, T is the sampling period time, u(k) is the control output at the kth sampling time, e(k) is the current error, and e(k-1) is the previous error; S106: After reaching the target power, it enters the maintenance mode and monitors the external feedback value in real time. When the power demand fluctuates due to changes in temperature and humidity, it automatically fine-tunes the output to adapt to the target control. S107: Monitors the output status for overload, overtemperature, and short circuit faults. If any abnormality is detected, it immediately feeds back to the PLC controller, which then controls the circuit breaker to perform power-off protection. S108: Sends key parameters during the adjustment process to the PLC controller for test recording. These key parameters include target value, actual value, adjustment time, and electrical parameters.

[0009] Preferably, the PLC controller has an information display screen and an operation interface on its surface. The PLC controller is either a touch-screen PLC controller or an industrial control computer, used to coordinate the actions of sensors and adjustment modules and control the test process. Its specific logical steps are as follows: S201: After the tester inputs the test parameters on the operation interface, the PLC controller reads the set test parameters, which include the target temperature, humidity, test duration and control mode. S202: The PLC controller periodically collects and tests data from the temperature and humidity sensor, the ambient temperature and humidity sensor, the power sensor, and the electrical parameter acquisition device. The data from the temperature and humidity sensor is the real-time temperature and humidity value inside the chamber. The data from the ambient temperature and humidity sensor is the reference temperature and humidity of the external environment. The data from the power sensor is the output power and current of the current power regulation module. The data from the electrical parameter acquisition device is the voltage, current, active power, and power factor. S203: Compare the current temperature and humidity with the target values, and calculate the error. The system determines whether heating, cooling, humidification, or dehumidification is needed based on the error, and decides on the control method based on the error range. S204: Calculate the output control value based on the error magnitude and control strategy. The control value includes output power and voltage. S205: Outputs control signals to the power regulation output module to control the power regulation output module to start or stop the heater, chiller, fan, and humidifier; S206: Phased control is implemented according to the test time, stage, and mode: Start-up stage → heating and humidity increase; Stabilization stage → constant temperature and humidity; Cooling stage → natural recovery or cooling. S207: The PLC controller continuously monitors the system status for abnormalities, including overcurrent, overvoltage, abnormal power, excessive temperature, communication interruption, sensor failure, and power failure. If an abnormality is detected, the system will immediately stop or reduce power operation. S208: Records the temperature, humidity, and electrical parameter test process data into the PLC controller's internal memory.

The formula used is: Where N1 is the number of turns in the primary winding and N2 is the number of turns in the secondary winding; The voltage transformer uses inductive coupling to reduce the high voltage V1 to the low voltage V2. The formula used is: .
