[0002] Impregnated activated carbon is a core filtration and purification material in protective equipment such as gas masks, personal protective equipment filters, and air purifiers. While the performance of impregnated activated carbon has been significantly improved with continuous advancements in the impregnation process, a new problem has emerged that urgently needs to be addressed. When users utilize protective equipment containing impregnated activated carbon in enclosed environments, an irritating odor may be produced, severely impacting the user experience, especially in high-temperature and high-humidity environments.

[0003] This invention addresses the aforementioned problems by simulating the temperature and humidity conditions of impregnated activated carbon in actual use, and testing the actual substances released from impregnated activated carbon and their content under different formulation systems and process conditions. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the issue that impregnated activated carbon can produce an irritating odor during actual use, affecting the user experience, this invention establishes an experimental device to detect substances emanating from impregnated activated carbon by simulating various temperature and humidity conditions close to actual use, providing guidance for the development and process improvement of impregnated activated carbon.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a test device for detecting substances leached from impregnated activated carbon, comprising:

[0006] An air source processing device, the air source processing device including a regulating filter, one end of the regulating filter is connected to compressed air and the other end is connected to a refrigerated dryer;

[0007] A temperature and humidity control device, wherein the inlet end of the temperature and humidity control device is connected to a refrigerated dryer and the outlet end is connected to an effluent testing device;

[0008] An efflux testing device includes a buffer tank, the inlet of which is connected to a temperature and humidity control device, and the outlet of which is divided into two paths: one is a test gas path and the other is a sample test gas path. The outlet of the test gas path serves as an exhaust outlet, and the sample test gas path includes a sample measuring tube connected to a gas detector.

[0009] Furthermore, the entire effluent testing device is located inside a constant temperature chamber, which maintains the test temperature through its constant temperature function.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a computer control device, which is located on one side of the constant temperature chamber; the computer control device includes a touch screen computer, which controls the temperature and humidity adjustment device and the constant temperature chamber.

[0011] Furthermore, solenoid valves are installed in the debugging gas path and the sample test gas path respectively, and the computer control device regulates the solenoid valves.

[0012] Furthermore, a stainless steel coil is connected between the temperature and humidity regulating device and the buffer tank. The stainless steel coil is embedded in the constant temperature chamber. When the temperature and humidity are regulated, the airflow passes through the stainless steel coil, making the temperature of the entire air path more uniform and stable.

[0013] Furthermore, a pressure sensor and a temperature and humidity sensor are connected to the buffer tank; a mass flow meter is connected to the outlet end of the buffer tank to control the airflow required for the test; the pressure sensor, temperature and humidity sensor, and mass flow meter are connected to a computer control device.

[0014] Furthermore, the effluent testing device is equipped with a test gas path panel.

[0015] Furthermore, the constant temperature chamber adopts a light-transmitting glass sliding door, which is located directly in front of the test air circuit panel to ensure that the test conditions inside the chamber can be observed throughout the entire test temperature range.

[0016] Furthermore, the sample measuring tube is fixed to the test gas pavement slab by a measuring tube clamp. The measuring tube clamp is designed according to the external dimensions of the sample measuring tube for easy installation and disassembly.

[0017] The working principle and operation process of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] Compressed air is introduced into the air source, purified by a regulating filter, and then connected to a refrigerated dryer for drying, reducing the humidity of the air source. The airflow passes through a temperature and humidity regulating device, which first heats and then humidifies to control the airflow to the temperature and humidity set for the test conditions. It then enters the stainless steel coil between the temperature and humidity regulating device and the buffer tank, making the temperature of the entire air path more uniform and stable. The buffer tank is connected to a pressure sensor and a temperature and humidity sensor, and a mass flow meter is connected to the outlet of the buffer tank to control the airflow required for the test. The outlet of the buffer tank branches into two paths: one for debugging and the other for sample testing.

[0019] During the preparation phase, the gas flow is first discharged through the test gas path. After the temperature, humidity, and gas flow rate stabilize, the sample measurement tube is connected, and the test begins. At this time, the computer control device controls the solenoid valve to automatically switch from the test gas path to the sample test gas path. After the gas with constant temperature, humidity, and flow rate passes through the sample measurement tube, it is connected to a gas detector to monitor in real time and automatically record the type and content of the exhaust gas from the sample measurement tube.

[0020] The touchscreen computer allows for setting test parameters, performing airtightness self-checks, preparing test conditions, and purging pipelines. Before starting the test, turn on the air source and power to all equipment; set the test parameters, enter the preparation state, and adjust the temperature and humidity; once preparation is complete, the test can begin.

[0021] After the test, switch to purging mode to purge the pipeline and gas detector. After purging, turn off the temperature and humidity control device, the effluent test device, the gas source, and the power supply.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] This invention incorporates a computer control device and a touch-screen display panel for setting test conditions, enabling precise control of experimental conditions. This results in more accurate and stable control of test parameters, improving test precision and consistency. The entire device uses corrosion-resistant piping connections and a high-precision corrosion-resistant mass flow meter, further enhancing the control accuracy of test conditions.
