Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of constant temperature and humidity systems in test chambers, and specifically relates to a constant temperature and humidity system for powertrain engine and complete vehicle test chambers, and is particularly suitable for constant temperature and humidity control in test chambers when dynamometer complete vehicle simulation tests are performed in the test chambers. Background Art

[0002] The combined air conditioning units in the powertrain engine and vehicle test rooms only controlled the test room temperature and pressure, limiting test conditions. When humidity testing of the vehicle or engine was required, the test equipment was unable to meet these requirements. Users were forced to conduct vehicle testing in Hainan or in an environmental warehouse, leaving the test room unused. This resulted in low test room utilization, wasted resources due to the limited lifespan of the test equipment, and high failure rates when the equipment was not used for extended periods. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a constant temperature and humidity system for a powertrain engine and complete vehicle test room. A constant humidity device is added to the original combined air conditioner to realize the humidification function of the combined air-conditioning unit, thereby achieving the temperature, pressure and humidity control functions of the combined air-conditioning unit, improving the test conditions, laying the foundation for subsequent complex test conditions, and improving both equipment utilization and R&D efficiency.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0005] A constant temperature and humidity system for a powertrain engine and vehicle test room, comprising a combined air conditioner arranged outside the test room vent and a constant humidity device added to the combined air conditioner; the constant humidity device comprises a water tank 1, a water pump 6, an electromagnetic proportional valve 7, an atomizer, a humidity sensor 10 and a controller 11; the water tank 1 is installed on the air inlet side of the combined air conditioner, the water tank 1 is connected to the outside through a tap water pipe 12, and tap water is injected into the water tank 1; the water tank 1 is connected to the water pump 6 through a pipe, the water pump 6 is connected to the atomizer 8 through a pipe, and an electromagnetic proportional valve 7 is provided on the connecting pipe, and the air supply fan 13 of the combined air conditioner blows the atomized fresh air to the air inlet of the test room; the humidity sensor 10 is arranged at the air supply port of the combined air conditioner to the test room; the controller 11 is respectively connected to the humidity sensor 10, the water pump 6, and the electromagnetic proportional valve 7.

[0008] Furthermore, the liquid level sensor consists of a low liquid level sensor 2 , a normal liquid level sensor 3 and a high liquid level sensor 4 .

[0009] Furthermore, a guide plate 9 is provided on one side of the atomizer 8, and the blower 13 of the combined air conditioner blows the atomized fresh air through the guide plate 9 to the air inlet of the test room.

[0010] The utility model has the following advantages:

[0011] The utility model realizes the requirement of controlling humidity without changing the function of the original equipment, reduces equipment procurement costs, meets test needs, and improves research and development efficiency.

[0012] Other humidification devices use electric heaters to heat the water in the water tank, consuming a large amount of electricity. Each time the water tank is low, the system replenishes the water, causing the water temperature to drop.

[0023] Example

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment is a constant temperature and humidity system for a powertrain engine and vehicle test room, comprising a combined air conditioner arranged outside the test room vent and a constant humidity device added inside the combined air conditioner; the constant humidity device comprises a water tank 1, a liquid level sensor, a solenoid valve 5, a water pump 6, an electromagnetic proportional valve 7, an atomizer, a guide plate 9, a humidity sensor 10, a tap water pipe 12 and a controller 11; the water tank 1 is installed on the air inlet side of the combined air conditioner, the water tank 1 is connected to the outside through the tap water pipe 12, tap water is injected into the water tank 1, and a solenoid valve is provided on the tap water pipe 12; the water tank 1 is respectively provided with a low liquid level sensor 2, a normal Liquid level sensor 3 and high liquid level sensor 4; the water tank 1 is connected to the water pump 6 through a pipeline, the water pump 6 is connected to the atomizer 8 through a pipeline and an electromagnetic proportional valve 7 is provided on the connecting pipeline, the guide plate 9 is arranged on one side of the atomizer 8, the spray from the atomizer 8 is sprayed onto the guide plate 9, and the atomized fresh air is blown to the air inlet of the test room through the guide plate 9 by the blower 13 of the combined air conditioner; the humidity sensor 10 is arranged at the air supply port of the combined air conditioner to the test room; the controller 11 is respectively connected to the humidity sensor 10, the low liquid level sensor 2, the normal liquid level sensor 3 and the high liquid level sensor 4 signals, and is also connected to the electromagnetic valve 5, the water pump 6 and the electromagnetic proportional valve 7.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the working principle of this embodiment is briefly described below:

[0026] The target temperature and target humidity are set in the controller 11; the humidity sensor 10 detects the humidity at the air outlet of the combined air conditioner to the test room and sends it to the controller. The controller determines whether humidification is needed based on the set target humidity. If the detected humidity is lower than the target humidity, the water pump 6 is controlled to run, and the water pump 6 pumps the tap water in the water tank 1 into the sprayer 8. The controller 11 controls the opening of the electromagnetic proportional valve 7 through a closed-loop PID to control the amount of water pumped into the sprayer 8; the sprayer 8 atomizes the tap water and sprays it to the guide plate 9. Finally, the air blower 13 blows the atomized fresh air through the guide plate 9 to the air outlet of the test room to humidify the test room. The air in the test room is discharged to the combined air conditioner through the exhaust port, and then the return air fan 14 discharges the air from the return air port.

[0027] Humidity levels are controlled by the opening of solenoid proportional valve 7. The amount of water in water tank 1 is detected by a water level sensor, and water injection is controlled by solenoid valve 5 on tap water line 12. If low-level sensor 2 detects no water in the water tank, controller 11 opens solenoid valve 5, beginning water replenishment. If normal-level sensor 3 detects water, solenoid valve 5 closes, stopping water replenishment. If high-level sensor 4 detects water, the controller sounds an alarm, prompting the user to inspect the device.

[0028] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present invention, any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention.

[0029] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0030] In addition, the various embodiments of the present invention may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present invention, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present invention.
