[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] This application provides a condensation testing system that solves the technical problem that only tests the surface of sheet material samples under water bath conditions, and lacks condensation testing of box structures under extreme environments.

[0023] See Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application provides a condensation testing system, which includes: an insulated box 1 and an air controller 3. The bottom of the insulated box 1 is provided with a water bath temperature control component 2. The air controller 3 is located outside the insulated box 1 and is connected to an air pipe. The air pipe is used to connect to the test chamber 4 inside the insulated box 1. The air controller 3 is used to control the temperature and humidity inside the test chamber 4.

[0024] In this embodiment, the test chamber 4 can be configured as a cuboid, a cylinder, or other chamber with an internal cavity. The water bath temperature control component 2 is used to control the temperature outside the test chamber 4. The air controller 3 is connected to the test chamber 4 through the air pipe. The air controller 3 delivers air with a set temperature and humidity to the test chamber 4 through the air pipe, so that the air inside the test chamber 4 circulates with the air delivered by the air controller 3, thereby allowing the temperature and humidity inside the test chamber 4 to be adjusted. The internal and external temperature and humidity of the test chamber 4 can be adjusted by the air controller 3 and the water bath temperature control component 2 to simulate condensation testing of the test chamber 4 under extreme conditions.

[0025] This embodiment sets the test chamber 4 inside the insulation box 1 and connects the test chamber 4 to the air controller 3, so that the internal and external temperatures and humidity of the test chamber 4 are different, thereby realizing the condensation test of the test chamber 4 under simulated extreme environment. This solves the technical problem that the condensation test in related technologies only tests the surface of the sample of board material under water bath conditions, and lacks the technical problem of condensation test of the chamber structure under extreme environment.

[0026] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the temperature control range of the water bath temperature control component 2 is set to 0–100°C.

[0027] In this embodiment, the test chamber 4 can be a battery chamber with an internal temperature of 45°C and an internal humidity of 50%RH. During daily operation or maintenance, the outer shell of the battery chamber needs to be opened, and cold air from outside will rush into the battery chamber instantly. The external cold air temperature can be set to 10°C, causing condensation to form on the inner surface of the battery chamber. The internal temperature of the test chamber 4 is low, while the external temperature and humidity are high, causing condensation to form on the outer surface of the test chamber 4. Exemplarily, the temperature of the water bath temperature control component 2 can be set to 45°C based on the above conditions. The temperature inside the insulation box 1 is set to 45°C, and the humidity inside the insulation box 1 is set to 50%RH. The air controller 3 delivers air at a temperature of 10°C, setting the internal temperature of the test chamber 4 to 10°C, thus simulating an extreme environment for condensation testing on the outer surface of the test chamber 4. In other embodiments, the temperature of the water bath temperature control component 2 can be set to greater than 45°C, the temperature inside the insulation box 1 can be set to greater than 45°C, and the humidity inside the insulation box 1 can be set to greater than 50%RH. The air controller 3 delivers air with a temperature of less than 10°C, thereby simulating extreme environments to conduct condensation tests on the outer surface of the test chamber 4.

[0028] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the air controller 3 is used to supply air with a temperature control range of 0 to 50°C and a humidity control range of 20% to 98% RH to the test chamber 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, the internal temperature and humidity of the test chamber 4 are high, while the external temperature of the test chamber 4 is low. Condensation will form on the inner surface of the test chamber 4. Exemplarily, the air controller 3 delivers air at a temperature of 45°C and a humidity of 50% RH, thus simulating an extreme environment for condensation testing on the inner surface of the test chamber 4. The temperature of the water bath temperature control component 2 can be set to 10°C, thus simulating an extreme environment for condensation testing on the inner surface of the test chamber 4. In other embodiments, the air controller delivers air with a temperature greater than 45°C and a humidity greater than 50% RH, and the temperature of the water bath temperature control component can be set to less than 10°C, thus simulating an extreme environment for condensation testing on the inner surface of the test chamber.

[0030] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the air pipe includes an air inlet pipe 5 and an air outlet pipe 6, the air inlet pipe 5 and the air outlet pipe 6 having different lengths, and the air inlet pipe 5 and the air outlet pipe 6 being used to connect to opposite sides of the test chamber 4.

[0031] In this embodiment, the air intake pipe 5 can be connected to the side of the test chamber 4 closest to the air controller 3, and the exhaust pipe 6 can be connected to the side of the test chamber 4 furthest from the air controller 3. The length of the air intake pipe 5 is shorter than the length of the exhaust pipe 6. Both the air intake pipe 5 and the exhaust pipe 6 can be flexible hoses. The test chamber 4 is connected to the air controller 3 through the air intake pipe 5 and the exhaust pipe 6, and the ends of the air intake pipe 5 and the exhaust pipe 6 are arranged opposite to each other, so that the air in the test chamber 4 can circulate and fully exchange with the air output by the air controller 3, and the temperature and humidity in the test chamber 4 can be adjusted by the air controller 3.

[0032] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, both the intake pipe 5 and the exhaust pipe 6 are provided with an airflow dispersion device 7 at their ends.

[0033] In this embodiment, the airflow dispersion device 7 is located at the center of the side of the test chamber 4. The two airflow dispersion devices 7 are arranged opposite each other. The airflow dispersion device 7 can evenly disperse the air input by the air controller 3, so that the air input by the air controller 3 can circulate evenly in the test chamber 4, ensuring that the temperature in all parts of the test chamber 4 remains consistent.

[0034] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the airflow dispersion device 7 is configured as an arc shape, and the airflow dispersion device 7 has a plurality of through holes evenly distributed along its arc surface.

[0035] In this embodiment, the airflow dispersion device 7 can be configured as an arc or other shape, and multiple through holes are evenly distributed on the arc surface of the airflow dispersion device 7, so that the air input by the air controller 3 is evenly dispersed and flows evenly in the test chamber 4, ensuring that the temperature in all places in the test chamber 4 remains consistent.

[0036] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the longitudinal cross-section of the top of the insulated box 1 is set as an isosceles trapezoid.

[0037] In this embodiment, the longitudinal cross-section of the top of the insulation box 1 can be set as an isosceles trapezoid. When the water vapor generated by the water bath temperature control component 2 condenses and forms water at the top of the insulation box 1, the condensed water can flow down the inclined surface located at the top of the insulation box 1 without affecting the condensation test of the test chamber 4. In other embodiments, the longitudinal cross-section of the top of the insulation box 1 can be set as an isosceles triangle. When the water vapor generated by the water bath temperature control component 2 condenses and forms water at the top of the insulation box 1, the condensed water can flow down the inclined surface located at the top of the insulation box 1.

[0038] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the insulated box 1 is also equipped with a plurality of thermometers 8 and a plurality of hygrometers 9.

[0039] In this embodiment, the thermometer 8 can measure the temperature inside the insulation box 1, and the hygrometer 9 can measure the humidity inside the insulation box 1. One thermometer 8 and one hygrometer 9 are used together to measure the temperature and humidity at one location inside the insulation box 1, that is, the temperature and humidity at one location outside the test chamber 4. By observing multiple sets of thermometers 8 and hygrometers 9 and adjusting the heating time of the water bath temperature control component 2, the displays of each set of thermometers 8 and hygrometers 9 are made consistent, ensuring that the temperature and humidity outside the test chamber 4 are consistent throughout.

[0040] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the water bath temperature control component 2 includes a water bath tank and a temperature controller, the temperature controller being used to control the water in the water bath tank at a set temperature.

[0041] In this embodiment, the water bath can be configured as a square tank, with its outer surface fitting against the inner surface of the insulation box 1, allowing the water bath to store water over a maximum area. The temperature controller can control the water in the water bath according to a set temperature, ensuring that the temperature at various points within the insulation box 1 is maintained at the preset temperature, and that the external temperature of the test chamber 4 is also maintained at the preset temperature. The set temperature is dynamically adjusted based on the preset temperature. If the external temperature of the test chamber 4 does not reach the preset temperature during the heating process, the set temperature can be initially set to a value higher than the preset temperature. The temperature inside the insulation box 1 is quickly adjusted to ensure that the external temperature of the test chamber 4 rises rapidly to the preset temperature. When the external temperature of the test chamber 4 approaches the preset temperature, the set temperature can be adjusted to be lower than the preset temperature to ensure that the temperature inside the insulation box 1 quickly approaches the preset temperature and that the external temperature of the test chamber 4 quickly reaches the preset temperature. When the external temperature of the test chamber 4 reaches the preset temperature, the set temperature can be set to be equal to the preset temperature to ensure that the external temperature of the test chamber 4 is maintained at the preset temperature.

[0042] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the water bath temperature control component 2 is provided with a hollowed-out bracket 10.

[0043] In this embodiment, the hollow bracket 10 is used to support the test chamber 4. The hollow bracket 10 can be formed by welding a ring to four legs. The four legs are located in the water bath. The test chamber 4 is placed on the ring. The hollow bracket 10 can reduce the contact area with the test chamber 4, so that the temperature and humidity of the outer surface of the test chamber 4 can be kept consistent with the temperature and humidity inside the insulation box 1.
