It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this utility model and not for limiting it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to this utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings, not all of them.

[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] This embodiment provides a test chamber applicable to fields such as high-end equipment manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, and electronics manufacturing. It is a device capable of simulating various natural environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, and wind speed, to conduct environmental adaptability tests on samples. In this embodiment, the test chamber is used to test component samples constituting high-end equipment. The test chamber includes a main body and a control panel. The control panel is mounted on the main body and electrically connected to it. The control panel is installed on the outside of the door or outer wall of the main body. Operators can conveniently set and adjust various environmental parameters within the test chamber, such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity, through the control panel. Because the control panel is electrically connected to the main body, it can transmit the set parameters to the various functional modules of the test chamber in real time, achieving precise control of environmental conditions and ensuring that the test environment meets specific requirements.

[0037] To solve the problem of not being able to see the control panel screen of the test chamber, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the control panel for the test chamber includes a control panel body 1 and an angle adjustment component 2. The angle adjustment component 2 includes a torque hinge 21, which includes a first connecting arm 211, a second connecting arm 213, and a rotating shaft 212. At least a portion of the rotating shaft 212 passes through both the first connecting arm 211 and the second connecting arm 213. The first connecting arm 211 and the second connecting arm 213 are rotatably connected via the rotating shaft 212. The first connecting arm 211 is connected to the control panel body 1, and the second connecting arm 213 is connected to the test chamber body. The torque hinge 21 enables the angle of the control panel body 1 relative to the test chamber to change, allowing the control panel body 1 to rotate relative to the test chamber body. This avoids light reflections in the environment where the test chamber is located, allowing operators of different heights to clearly see the screen and facilitating their work. Furthermore, the design of the torque hinge 21 allows operators of different heights to rotate the control panel body 1 by a certain angle to tilt the screen, so that operators do not need to excessively bend their heads to see the screen, reducing neck fatigue.

[0038] More specifically, in this embodiment, the torque hinge 21 also includes a fixing member, which is disposed on the rotation shaft 212. The fixing member is used to fix the rotation angle of the first connecting arm 211 relative to the second connecting arm 213, ensuring that the control panel, after being adjusted to a suitable angle, will not arbitrarily change its angle due to external interference or its own gravity, so that operators do not need to worry about changes in the screen angle affecting viewing and operation during operation. Operators of different heights or different work scenarios may require different control panel angles, and the fixing member can fix the angle in the required position to meet diverse usage needs.

[0039] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fixing component includes a metal sheet and a spring sheet. The rotating shaft 212 is a rivet, and both the metal sheet and the spring sheet are mounted on the rivet. Along the axial direction of the rivet, the metal sheet is disposed on both sides of the first connecting arm 211 and the second connecting arm 213, and the metal sheet is in close contact with the first connecting arm 211 and the second connecting arm 213. The spring sheet is disposed between the rivet head and the metal sheet. The metal sheet is in close contact with the first connecting arm 211 and the second connecting arm 213. When the rotating shaft 212 drives the first connecting arm 211 to rotate relative to the second connecting arm 213, the metal sheet will rotate accordingly. Due to its close contact with the connecting arm, it can provide resistance to a certain extent, so that the rotation angle can be precisely controlled. The operator can rotate the control panel body 1 to a suitable angle according to their own needs. The resistance of the metal sheet can help to accurately position the angle, generate torque through frictional damping, and realize the arbitrary stop function. The spring clip is positioned between the rivet head and the metal plate. The spring clip exerts pressure on the metal plate, increasing the friction between the metal plate and the connecting arm. This ensures that the relative angle between the first connecting arm 211 and the second connecting arm 213 is stably maintained after rotation stops, preventing angle changes due to slight external contact. Whether adjusting the angle or fixing it, the connection between the control panel body 1 and the test chamber body is secure and reliable, preventing loosening or shaking, thus improving the durability and reliability of the entire test chamber control panel. In some other embodiments, the fixing member can also be a mechanism that generates torque through spring damping, allowing the first connecting arm 211 to stop arbitrarily relative to the second connecting arm 213. In other embodiments, the fixing member can also be a stop groove mechanism or a cam stop structure, as long as it can fix the angle between the first connecting arm 211 and the second connecting arm 213.

[0040] Optionally, in this embodiment, the metal sheet is a copper sheet. Copper has a certain degree of wear resistance. During the rotation of the first connecting arm relative to the second connecting arm 213, the copper sheet is in close contact with the connecting arm and generates relative movement. Good wear resistance ensures that the copper sheet will not lose its ability to provide resistance due to excessive wear during long-term use, continuously achieving precise control of the rotation angle. This ensures that the operator can rotate the control panel body to the appropriate angle and accurately position it, achieving the function of stopping at any time. Copper has a certain degree of elasticity and ductility. When the rotating shaft drives the connecting arm to rotate, the copper sheet can generate a certain degree of elastic deformation with the rotation, better conforming to the rotation movement of the connecting arm. While providing resistance to control the rotation angle, it will not hinder the smoothness of rotation due to excessive rigidity. In other embodiments, the metal sheet can also be an aluminum alloy sheet or a rubber pad, etc. Further details will not be elaborated further.

[0041] Preferably, such as Figures 1-3As shown, in this embodiment, the angle adjustment component 2 further includes a mounting part 23 and a fastener 22. The mounting part 23 has a teardrop-shaped hole, and the fastener 22 passes through the second connecting arm 213 and the teardrop-shaped hole to connect to the test chamber body. The mounting part 23 is a key component connecting the angle adjustment component 2 and the test chamber body. Through the teardrop-shaped hole and the fastener 22, it securely connects the second connecting arm 213 of the torque hinge 21 to the test chamber body, ensuring that the angle adjustment component 2 can be accurately installed on the test chamber body, providing stable support and positioning for the angle adjustment of the control panel. The teardrop-shaped hole is typically oblong, resembling the shape of a water droplet. This shape provides a certain adjustment margin during installation, allowing for flexible adjustment of the installation position without the need for precise alignment with a fixed mounting hole, reducing alignment difficulty during installation, thus saving installation time and improving installation efficiency.

[0042] Optionally, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting component 23 has three water droplet holes. The positions of the three water droplet holes are connected sequentially to form an isosceles triangle. The isosceles triangle structure has stability, and this structure formed by the three water droplet holes makes the connection between the mounting component 23 and the test chamber body more secure. By connecting the three points, the force from the angle adjustment component 2 and the control panel can be evenly distributed, avoiding shaking or loosening caused by single-point force or unstable two-point connection, ensuring that the connection between the control panel and the test chamber body remains reliable under various operating conditions. In other embodiments, the mounting component 23 may have one, two, or four water droplet holes, as long as it is possible to install the second connecting arm 213 on the test chamber body.

[0043] Preferably, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the opposite sides of the mounting component 23 are respectively connected to the test chamber body and the angle adjustment component 2, achieving a stable connection between the angle adjustment component 2 and the test chamber body. This allows the control panel body 1, connected to the angle adjustment component 2, to be stably mounted on the test chamber body, ensuring that the control panel body 1 can be angled under the action of the angle adjustment component 2, achieving rotational movement relative to the test chamber body. The cooperation between the mounting component 23 and the angle adjustment component 2 limits the rotation range of the control panel body 1, ensuring that when the control panel body 1 moves within the adjustable angle range, it always maintains a safe distance from the test chamber body and will not interfere with it.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figures 1-5As shown, in this embodiment, the control panel body 1 includes a housing 13 and a control panel body 11. The housing 13 is connected to the first connecting arm 211, and the control panel body 11 is embedded in the housing 13. The control panel body 11 can be precisely positioned within the housing 13, fixing its position and preventing displacement. The housing 13 provides physical protection for the control panel body 11, preventing it from being damaged by external impacts, scratches, dust, etc.

[0045] It should be noted that the control panel body 11 is an existing structure. Setting up the control panel body 11 in the control panel of the test chamber is a conventional setting in the art. In this embodiment, any connection method in the prior art can be used to electrically connect to the test chamber body, as long as the control panel body 11 has the function of controlling the use of the test chamber. It will not be described in detail here.

[0046] Optionally, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer shell 13 includes a back plate 132 and a box body 131 with front and rear openings. The box body 131 and the back plate 132 are detachably connected. The back plate 132 is connected to the first connecting arm 211. This detachable connection allows the control panel body 11 and other components to be installed inside the box body 131 before connecting the back plate 132 to the box body 131, facilitating operation. The detachable design allows maintenance personnel to inspect and maintain the inside of the control panel without disassembling the entire control panel, reducing maintenance time and workload, and lowering maintenance costs. The box body 131 and the back plate 132 form a complete outer shell 13 structure, providing stable support for the control panel body 11. The connection between the back plate 132 and the first connecting arm 211 also ensures that the entire control panel body 1 remains stable during angle adjustment, preventing shaking or deformation, thus ensuring the normal operation and service life of the control panel body 1. In other embodiments, the outer shell 13 can also be integrally formed, as long as it can protect the control panel body 11.

[0047] Preferably, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer casing 13 is provided with heat dissipation holes 1301. When the control panel of the test chamber is in operation, the electronic components inside generate heat. The presence of heat dissipation holes 1301 provides a heat dissipation channel, allowing the hot air inside the outer casing 13 to exchange with the cool air outside, thereby effectively reducing the temperature inside the outer casing 13. The heat dissipation holes 1301 effectively reduce the operating temperature of the components, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the entire control panel and reducing the maintenance and replacement costs caused by component failure.

[0048] Preferably, such as Figures 1-4As shown, in this embodiment, the outer casing 13 also includes a hook 12. The control panel body 11 has a hanging hole. One end of the hook 12 is a fixing part 121, and the other end is a hanging part 122. The hanging part 122 is bent in a hook shape and engages with the hanging hole. By engaging the hanging part 122 of the hook 12 with the hanging hole on the control panel body 11, the control panel body 11 can be precisely positioned within the outer casing 13, ensuring its accurate position and preventing it from wobbling or shifting. The hook-shaped bend design of the hook 12 makes the engagement between the hanging part 122 and the hanging hole tighter. This engagement method is simple and quick. When installing the control panel body 11, simply align the hook 12 with the hanging hole and engage it; no additional tools or complex installation steps are required, greatly improving installation efficiency and saving installation time and labor costs. Precise positioning and stable connection prevent the control panel body 11 from colliding or rubbing against other components due to shaking within the housing 13, thus protecting the control panel body 11, reducing the risk of damage caused by collisions or friction, and extending its service life. The snap-fit ​​engagement between the hook 12 and the mounting hole enhances the connection strength between the control panel body 11 and the housing 13, making the entire control panel structure more stable and better able to withstand external forces, ensuring the reliability and stability of the control panel during long-term operation of the test chamber. In other embodiments, the hook 12 can also be replaced with a magnetic structure or a screw and nut structure, as long as it can fix the control panel body 11 to the housing 13.

[0049] Optionally, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer casing 13 includes four hooks 12. Two hooks 12 are positioned above the control panel body 11, and the other two hooks 12 are positioned on both sides of the control panel body 11. The two upper hooks 12 prevent the control panel body 11 from falling downwards under gravity, thus lifting and securing it upwards. The two side hooks 12 restrict the horizontal movement of the control panel body 11, including left-right swaying and forward-backward displacement, constraining the control panel body 11 from multiple angles and keeping it in a fixed position within the outer casing 13. The four hooks 12 secure the control panel body 11 from different directions, better resisting external forces such as vibration and impact. In other embodiments, the outer casing 13 may include two, three, or five hooks 12, as long as they can secure the control panel body 11 within the outer casing 13.

[0050] Preferably, such as Figures 1-5As shown, in this embodiment, a USB port 1302 is provided on the outer casing 13 at the position corresponding to the USB interface of the control panel body 11. This allows for convenient connection of external devices to the control panel body 11, enabling the input of programmed data into the control panel body 11 via the USB interface. This allows for updating, modifying, or expanding the functions of the control panel body 11 to meet different application needs. The USB port 1302 also allows data stored in the control panel body 11 to be read from external devices via the USB interface, facilitating data analysis, archiving, or further processing by the user.

[0051] Preferably, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the control panel body 1 also includes an emergency button 14, which is electrically connected to the control panel body 11. An emergency button inlet 1303 is provided on the outer casing 13 at the position corresponding to the emergency button 14 on the control panel body 11, allowing the emergency button 14 to connect to the control panel body 11 from this location. The design of the emergency button inlet 1303 makes the installation and connection of the emergency button 14 more secure, reducing the risk of system failure due to loosening, poor contact, etc., improving the reliability of the emergency button 14's triggering function, and ensuring normal operation at critical moments. The design of the emergency button inlet 1303 also allows the emergency button 14 to be directly connected to the control panel body 11, enabling rapid signal transmission, reducing intermediate links, and helping to speed up the response speed of the entire emergency system, thereby enabling more timely response to emergencies and protecting the safety of personnel and equipment.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
