The control device 2, the temperature sensor 15 and the regulating device 3, the refrigeration system 5 and the heating element 4 are connected to each other by telecommunication. When it is necessary to simulate a low-temperature environment, the control device 2 controls the regulating device 3 to drive the hanging basket assembly 9 to move downward to the low-temperature zone 14, so that the sample to be tested is located in the low-temperature zone 14 for a low-temperature experiment. The refrigeration system 5 is started by the control device 2, and the liquid nitrogen tank 52 discharges liquid nitrogen into the low-temperature zone 14 through the discharge pipe 53, so that the temperature inside the low-temperature zone 14 drops rapidly to realize a low-temperature experiment on the sample to be tested; when it is necessary to simulate a high-temperature environment, the refrigeration system 5 is turned off, and the hanging basket assembly 9 is driven to move upward to the high-temperature zone 13 through the regulating device 3, and the heating element 4 is started at the same time. Heating is performed so that the sample to be tested is located in the high temperature zone 13 for a high temperature experiment.
