A high-pressure mercury lamp 7 and a temperature sensor 6 are installed inside the lamp cover. The control box 25 is equipped with a PLC touch screen 24, which is connected to the high-pressure mercury lamp 7 and the temperature sensor 6 respectively. The PLC touch screen 24 monitors the test parameters such as the number of lamps turned on, the test duration, the interval time, and the internal temperature of the high-pressure mercury lamp 7. The number of high-pressure mercury lamps 7 is one or more, and the power is 1 to 2 kW. It can quickly compare the light aging resistance of different plastic materials, improve the testing efficiency, and shorten the material development cycle.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the control box 25 is equipped with a working status indicator light 23, and the PLC touch screen 24 is set with an upper temperature limit. When the temperature inside the lamp cover exceeds the upper temperature limit, an alarm will be triggered. After the temperature exceeds the upper temperature limit for a period of time, the power will be automatically turned off to prevent the high-pressure mercury lamp 7 from being damaged or catching fire.
[0030] Example 3
[0031] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the lampshade is a portable lampshade with a handle 1 for easy operation and movement; it contains a safety switch 10, and the base has a corresponding protrusion. When the lampshade is correctly placed on the base, the safety switch 10 is lifted and the high-pressure mercury lamp 7 is turned on; when the lampshade is not placed on the base, the high-pressure mercury lamp 7 cannot be turned on, thus avoiding accidental operation that could cause ultraviolet rays to burn the eyes.
[0032] Example 4
[0033] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the base is equipped with multiple sample clamps 4, which are used to fix the samples during testing. The base is made of metal and is connected to a movable water circulation cooler. Cooling water is introduced through the base inlet 9 and the base outlet 8 to cool the sample, realizing the circulation of cooling water, facilitating equipment movement, and preventing the sample performance from deteriorating due to excessively high temperature during testing, thus affecting the test results. The connection between the base and the lamp cover is equipped with a silicone sealing strip and groove to enhance the sealing performance.
[0034] Example 5
[0035] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the lampshade is equipped with an air inlet 11 with a flow valve and an air outlet with a one-way air outlet 3. During testing, inert gas is injected to replace the air inside the lampshade, eliminating the influence of thermo-oxidative aging on the performance of the plastic material.
[0036] Embodiment 6
[0037] As shown in Figs. Figure 1 , 2 and 3, the water-cooled radiator can continuously cool the cooling water, adjust the water inlet speed, and thus continuously test.
[0038] In actual application, first, the plastic test piece to be tested is fixed on the sample fixing clamp, then the lampshade is mounted on the base, nitrogen is introduced, and the water-cooled radiator and the base are connected through the water pipe. The test is started by setting the test time and other parameters through the PLC touch screen. After the test is completed, the internal temperature is observed through the controller, and the lampshade is opened when the temperature drops to a safe value. By comparing the mechanical properties, color, appearance, and other properties of the sample before and after the light aging test, the differences in the light aging resistance of different materials are obtained, the test efficiency is improved, and the material development cycle is shortened. In addition, inert gas can be introduced to replace air during the test process to eliminate the influence of thermal oxidative aging on the performance of the plastic material, the test result is more accurate, the lamp tube temperature can be monitored and timely alarm can be given to ensure the safety of the test process.
[0039] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present application, but the present application should not be limited to the content disclosed in the embodiment. Therefore, equivalent or modified versions completed without departing from the spirit of the present application fall within the scope of the present application.
