Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of environmental testing equipment, specifically relating to a micro-pressure adjustable pressure relief device for an environmental testing chamber. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of technology and the standardization of industrial production, many industries have established strict specifications and standards for the use and safety of environmental test chambers. For example, in the fields of aerospace, electronics, and automobiles, relevant standards clearly stipulate that environmental test chambers must have effective pressure relief devices to ensure the safety and reliability of the testing process. During the operation of environmental test chambers, due to the diversity of test conditions, such as the simulation of different environments like high temperature, low temperature, and high humidity, pressure may accumulate inside the chamber. If the pressure is too high and cannot be released in time, it may lead to deformation, rupture, or even explosion, posing a significant threat to surrounding personnel and equipment. Simultaneously, abnormal pressure changes within the test chamber may damage the samples being tested, affecting the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Furthermore, excessive pressure can also damage the structure of the test chamber itself and internal precision equipment such as sensors and controllers, shortening the equipment's lifespan. General pressure relief devices can only roughly control the pressure, with low pressure relief accuracy and unreliability, and are prone to problems such as spring fatigue and valve jamming, resulting in untimely or inaccurate pressure relief. Therefore, a new pressure relief structure needs to be designed to achieve highly reliable, high-precision, and variable pressure relief standards. Utility Model Content

[0019] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0020] Example 1
[0021] like Figure 1As shown, a micro-pressure adjustable pressure relief device for an environmental test chamber is disclosed. It includes a barrel-shaped container 1 with a pressure relief channel 103. An open-pore elastic membrane 2 is disposed within the pressure relief channel 103. The size of the opening 201 of the open-pore elastic membrane 2 is adjustable. Generally, the size of the central opening is adjusted by externally pressing the open-pore elastic membrane 2. Adjustment can be achieved by using a ring ring for pressing, or by tightening or loosening the edges of the open-pore elastic membrane 2 using other methods. A lightweight ball 3 is located on the opening 201 of the open-pore elastic membrane 2 within the barrel-shaped container 1.
[0022] Example 2
[0023] Based on Embodiment 1, the barrel-shaped container 1 includes a base 101 and a tensioning barrel 102. Both the base 101 and the tensioning barrel 102 have a pressure relief channel 103 in the middle. The edge of the perforated elastic membrane 2 is fixed to the upper surface of the base 101. The opening 201 of the perforated elastic membrane 2 is located in the pressure relief channel 103. The lightweight ball 3 is located above the opening of the perforated elastic membrane 2. The pressure relief device is installed vertically on the environmental test chamber, so that the lightweight ball 3 falls on the opening of the perforated elastic membrane 2 under the action of gravity, thereby sealing the opening of the perforated elastic membrane 2 and achieving a seal under a certain pressure. The sealing pressure can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the opening 201.
[0024] The upper surface of the base 101 is provided with a groove 1011, and the lower end of the tensioning barrel 102 is provided with a support 1021. The tensioning barrel 102 and the base 101 are movably installed together, and the support 1021 is located in the groove 1011. There are various ways to move and install it, such as threaded or graduated, as long as the position can be moved and stopped. The pressure on the perforated elastic film 2 causes the size of the opening of the perforated elastic film 2 to change.
[0025] This embodiment uses a thread 4 structure. An internal thread is provided on the upper inner wall of the base 101, and an external thread is provided on the lower outer wall of the tensioning barrel 102. The internal thread and the external thread cooperate to install the tensioning barrel 102 on the base 101 and realize the installation height adjustment of the tensioning barrel 102. The adjustment accuracy can be controlled by adjusting the thread pitch.
[0026] The base 101 is made of plastic, and the outer edge of the perforated elastic film 2 is fixed to the base 101 by ultrasonic welding.
[0027] The welding area is located on the outer side of the groove 1011 on the upper surface of the base 101, that is, the outermost area of the perforated elastic film 2. Ultrasonic welding is used to achieve complete fixation while avoiding affecting the structure of the perforated elastic film 2 for applying pressure and tensioning.
[0028] The pressure relief channel 103 of the tensioning barrel 102 has a blocking structure 1022 at the top to prevent the lightweight ball 3 from falling out. In this embodiment, the diameter of the pressure relief channel 103 at the top of the tensioning barrel 102 is reduced to form the blocking structure 1022. Of course, other blocking structures, such as mesh or blocking bars, can also be set.
[0029] Working principle: Based on the pressure formula: F is the force (F=mg), and S is the area of force application; the pressure relief capacity is adjusted by continuously changing the area of force application. The product is installed on the upper part of the environmental chamber and connected to the inner chamber. The external structure consists of a small ball of mass m placed inside a cylindrical container. The bottom of the cylindrical container is connected to the environmental chamber. Additionally, there is a baffle inside the cylindrical container with an adjustable hole. The pressure relief device is adjustable by changing the area of force application through this hole.
