Environmental Test Chamber Tray for Wiring Organization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The environment surrounding environmental testing apparatuses is degraded due to the presence of numerous wirings and other objects, which hinders testing operations.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus with a chamber and a tray on its upper surface, where the tray accommodates wiring and other test-related items, preventing them from interfering with the testing environment and using a lid to cover the tray for improved aesthetics and operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If measuring instruments and computers are disposed close to the environmental test apparatus, then measurement and data processing functions are enabled, but the environment surrounding the apparatus is degraded and wirings hinder testing operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent relocates the measuring instrument and computer from the horizontal plane (close to the apparatus) to the vertical dimension (upper surface of the chamber). This dimensional transition allows the devices to be positioned above the test area rather than beside it, enabling measurement functions while preventing wirings from spreading across the working environment and hindering operations.
2Ease of operation
If a tray is provided on the upper surface of the chamber, then wirings and test-related items are contained and organized, but the chamber structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The tray is designed with multi-functionality: it serves as both a containment structure for organizing wirings and test items, and as a support platform for positioning the measuring instrument and computer. This universal design consolidates multiple functions into a single component, reducing overall structural complexity while achieving environmental organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The tray structure is segmented into distinct functional zones: an open upper surface for accommodating small items and wirings, and a depressed portion for housing larger equipment like measuring instruments. This segmentation allows efficient organization of different objects while maintaining a compact overall structure that doesn't excessively increase complexity.

AI summary
An apparatus for environmental tests includes a chamber having formed therein a test space for disposing a sample, and a tray that is provided on the upper surface of the chamber and has an open upper surface. A front wall of the tray is configured by an operation unit where switches are provided. A rear wall of the tray is configured by a control unit housing a control substrate. A left wall and a right wall of the tray are configured by hollow bodies connecting the operation unit and the control unit. The tray is covered with a lid.
