[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 The relative humidity tester for coatings in this embodiment includes a housing 1. Support seats 2 are fixed at both ends of the lower surface of the housing 1. A humidification mechanism 3 for achieving high-precision relative humidity control is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 1. A display panel 4 is provided on the right side of the housing 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the shell 1 is a hollow cuboid. A transparent protective cover 5 is fixed on the upper surface of the shell 1. The transparent protective cover 5 provides a good field of view and prevents external factors from interfering with the test environment, ensuring the independence and stability of the test environment. The display panel 4 includes a display screen and a controller. The display panel 4 is connected to an external power source through wires. The display screen is used to display parameters such as temperature and humidity of the current environment in real time. The controller allows users to set and adjust test conditions. The connection to an external power source through wires ensures a stable power supply and supports long-term continuous operation. Users can easily view and set test parameters, improving the convenience and accuracy of operation.

[0030] It should be noted that users can view the current humidity value and set the target value through the display panel 4, and enter commands through the operation interface to adjust the humidity setting or control other functions of the device.

[0031] Please see Figures 2 to 4To achieve high-precision relative humidity control, the humidification mechanism 3 in this embodiment includes a sample placement platform 31, a humidity sensor 32, an ultrasonic atomizer 33, a delivery pipe 34, a condenser dehumidifier 35, two fans 36, and an air guide shroud 37. The sample placement platform 31 is placed on the upper surface of the housing 1 and provides a test platform for the coating sample to be tested, ensuring its stability during the test. The humidity sensor 32 is fixed to the left end of the upper surface of the sample placement platform 31. The humidity sensor 32 monitors and provides feedback on the relative humidity of the sample placement platform 31 area in real time and transmits the data to the control system to ensure the accuracy of the test data and that the humidity of the test environment is always within the set range. The ultrasonic atomizer 33 is located in the middle of the upper surface of the sample placement platform 31, and the delivery pipe 34 is connected to the lower surface of the ultrasonic atomizer 33. When the humidity sensor 32 detects that the humidity is lower than the preset value, the control system starts the humidification mechanism 3. Water is delivered in the delivery pipe 34 to the ultrasonic atomizer 33, which atomizes the water and delivers it to the sample placement platform 31 area to increase the internal humidity.

[0032] The condenser dehumidifier 35 is located at the left end of the back of the housing 1. Two fans 36 are fixed in the middle of the back of the housing 1. The air guide shroud 37 is located outside the two fans 36 and fixed to the middle of the back of the housing 1. The air guide shroud 37 ensures that the airflow is evenly distributed and avoids local over-humidity or over-dryness. When the humidity sensor 32 detects that the humidity is higher than the preset value, the control system starts the two fans 36 to generate outward suction, so that the humid air is drawn into the inner cavity of the air guide shroud 37, and then enters the condenser dehumidifier 35 through the connecting pipe connected to one side of the air guide shroud 37. After the moisture is removed by the refrigerant, it is discharged, which can reduce the internal humidity.

[0033] In this embodiment, the transparent protective cover 5 has a triangular cross-sectional shape. The size of the inner cavity of the transparent protective cover 5 is larger than the size of the upper surface of the sample placement stage 31. Both the left and right ends of the upper surface of the sample placement stage 31 are provided with holding boxes for storing paint, which improves the convenience during operation. The other end of the delivery pipe 34 passes through the sample placement stage 31 and extends to the outside of the housing 1.

[0034] Ventilation hole 38 is provided in the middle of the back of the housing 1. The inner cavity of the air guide shroud 37 is larger than the size of the ventilation hole 38. The fan 36 faces the side close to the inner cavity of the housing 1. The fan 36 can work with the air guide shroud 37 to guide the airflow and promote air circulation. The cross-sectional shape of the air guide shroud 37 is an isosceles trapezoid. The other end of the air guide shroud 37 is connected to a connecting pipe. The other end of the connecting pipe is fixed to the condenser dehumidifier 35 to ensure smooth airflow. The air guide shroud 37, the connecting pipe and the condenser dehumidifier 35 are fixed to form a complete airflow path.

[0035] In addition, precise control of ambient humidity is required in coating performance testing to simulate coating performance under different humidity conditions. The ultrasonic atomizer 33 can quickly increase ambient humidity when humidification is needed, while the condenser dehumidifier 35 can quickly reduce ambient humidity when dehumidification is needed. Through the coordinated work of the two, precise control of relative humidity can be achieved, ensuring the stability and reliability of the test environment. Ultrasonic atomization uses the vibration generated by ultrasonic sound energy to agitate the liquid in the container, destroying the surface tension and inertia of the solution, thereby forming fine aerosol particles. The condenser dehumidifier 35 adopts advanced condensation technology, which can reduce the humidity to a suitable range in a short time. It is equipped with a professional humidity controller, which can control the humidity according to the user's needs and humidity conditions. The user can set the humidity value as needed, and the dehumidifier will automatically stop working after the set value is reached, without over-dehumidifying.

[0036] It should be noted that the use of cost-effective component combinations significantly reduces production costs, making the testing instrument more competitive in the market. The human-machine interface is user-friendly, and the operation process is simple and clear, allowing users to quickly get started without professional training. Through advanced humidity sensing technology and intelligent control system, it achieves highly precise control of relative humidity, improving the reliability and consistency of test results.

[0037] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0038] Humidity sensor 32 monitors the humidity of the sample placement stage 31 area in real time and transmits the data to the control system. When humidity sensor 32 detects that the humidity is lower than the preset value, the control system starts the humidification mechanism 3. Water delivered in the delivery pipe 34 is sent to the ultrasonic atomizer 33, which atomizes the water and delivers it to the sample placement stage 31 area to increase the internal humidity. When humidity sensor 32 detects that the humidity is higher than the preset value, the control system starts two fans 36 to generate outward suction, which draws humid air into the inner cavity of the air guide hood 37. The air then enters the condenser dehumidifier 35 through the connecting pipe connected to one side of the air guide hood 37. After the air is cooled and the moisture is removed by the refrigerant, the dehumidifier is discharged, which can reduce the internal humidity. At the same time, the user can view the current humidity value and the set target value through the display panel 4, and input commands through the operation interface to adjust the humidity setting value or control other functions of the equipment.
