Vibration test chamber has unique advantages in the field of testing, it sets temperature and humidity and vibration simulation in one, compared with temperature and humidity test chamber, can more comprehensively simulate the real environment, improve the test efficiency, accurately detect product defects, save space and cost at the same time, with advanced control system to ensure the high precision operation of parameters, provide strong support for product reliability assessment. So, how exactly do these test chambers work? There's a lot of interdisciplinary science behind it.
The temperature control of the vibration test chamber mainly depends on advanced heating and cooling systems. The internal heating device usually uses heating wires or heating tubes, and when the current passes through these heating elements, the electrical energy is converted into heat energy, which increases the air temperature in the chamber.
The refrigeration system is relatively complex, generally based on the principle of compressor refrigeration cycle. The compressor compresses the gaseous refrigerant into a high temperature and pressure gas, and then dissipates heat through the condenser to liquefy it. The liquid refrigerant then enters the evaporator through the expansion valve, and is quickly vaporized in the evaporator to absorb a lot of heat, thereby reducing the temperature in the chamber.
By precisely controlling the cooperative operation of the heating and cooling system, and monitoring the temperature in the chamber in real time with the help of high-precision temperature sensors, and feeding back to the control system, the set temperature range can be accurately maintained, and both high temperature aging test and low temperature cold resistance test can be stably carried out.
Humidity regulation in the test chamber is achieved by humidifier. Steam humidification is to heat water to boil to produce water vapor, and then inject water vapor into the chamber to increase humidity; Ultrasonic humidification is the use of ultrasonic transducers to convert electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical vibration, so that water mist into tiny water droplets distributed into the air.
The realization of vibration function depends on a special vibration generation system. It is usually composed of vibration motor, eccentric block and elastic support structure. The vibration motor drives the eccentric block to rotate at a high speed. Because the center of gravity of the eccentric block is offset, centrifugal force will be generated in the rotating process. This centrifugal force periodically acts on the workbench of the test chamber or the installation part of the specimen, resulting in vibration. The frequency, amplitude and acceleration of vibration can be precisely controlled by adjusting the mass and eccentricity of the eccentric block and the speed of the vibration motor.
In order to avoid vibration transmission to the outside of the test chamber causing interference to the surrounding environment, as well as to ensure the stability of the test chamber's own structure, it is also equipped with perfect vibration isolation buffer devices, such as rubber vibration isolation pad, air spring, etc. These devices can effectively absorb and isolate vibration energy, so that the test chamber can still run smoothly under the condition of strong vibration. It provides a reliable platform for the performance test of products in vibration environments, such as the vibration simulation of aerospace products during flight, or the durability test of auto parts under the condition of driving turbulence.
By integrating the three core systems of temperature control, humidity regulation and vibration generation, the vibration test chambercan accurately simulate various extreme and complex temperature and humidity and vibration complex environments under the synergistic effect of advanced sensor technology and intelligent control system, providing an indispensable scientific test means for product development, quality detection and performance verification in many industries. It has effectively promoted the high-quality development of modern science and technology industry.
