The experimental section 12 is detachably connected with a sensor placement tool 8 cooperating with a multi-modal sensor monitoring group 4.
[0050] Dust generator 2, the output end of which extends to the inside of the air flow pipeline 1 through the powder outlet pipeline 21.
[0051] Fan 3, which is arranged inside the air flow pipeline 1 and can form air flow circulation along the air flow pipeline 1, the powder outlet direction of the powder outlet pipeline 21 is opposite to the direction of the dust in the air flow circulation, and the fan 3 is located on the upwind side of the experimental section 12.
