Description

一种紫外荧光老化试验箱A UV fluorescent aging test chamber

技术领域technical field

本实用新型涉及试验设备技术领域,尤其涉及一种紫外荧光老化试验箱。The utility model relates to the technical field of test equipment, in particular to an ultraviolet fluorescence aging test box.

背景技术Background technique

紫外荧光老化试验箱的工作原理是:通过紫外光照射、水喷淋和水蒸气冷凝模拟户外环境。样品放进试验机测试一定时间后,可以模拟出产品在户外环境较长时间后的老化现象。The working principle of the UV fluorescent aging test chamber is to simulate the outdoor environment through ultraviolet light irradiation, water spray and water vapor condensation. After the sample is put into the testing machine for a certain period of time, the aging phenomenon of the product after a long period of time in the outdoor environment can be simulated.

但是,紫外灯管在使用过程中输出光能会逐渐衰减,使辐照强度低于测试标准的规定范围,对测试结果造成较大影响,且不稳定的工作功率会缩减紫外灯管的工作寿命。而现有的紫外荧光老化试验箱并不能自动调节紫外灯管的功率。且目前市面上的紫外线老化系统多是直接在光源照射下进行老化实验,辐射光的波长范围针对性不强,操作复杂且不能满足特殊实验的要求。如不同紫外线辐射功率密度下光催化实验,要求实验过程中试样受辐射功率密度可调;又如特定光谱范围内硫化硅橡胶的老化试验,要求通过利用具有一定波长范围的紫外光加速硫化硅橡胶老化,而现有技术的紫外老化试验箱由于光源的功率密度和光谱成分不可调,故不能满足特殊实验的要求。However, the output light energy of the ultraviolet lamp will gradually attenuate during use, making the radiation intensity lower than the specified range of the test standard, which will have a great impact on the test results, and the unstable working power will shorten the working life of the ultraviolet lamp . However, the existing ultraviolet fluorescent aging test chamber cannot automatically adjust the power of the ultraviolet lamp. Moreover, most of the UV aging systems currently on the market conduct aging experiments directly under the irradiation of light sources. The wavelength range of the radiated light is not very specific, and the operation is complicated and cannot meet the requirements of special experiments. For example, the photocatalysis experiment under different ultraviolet radiation power densities requires that the radiation power density of the sample be adjustable during the experiment; another example is the aging test of vulcanized silicone rubber in a specific spectral range, which requires the use of ultraviolet light with a certain wavelength range to accelerate silicon vulcanization. Rubber aging, and the UV aging test chamber of the prior art cannot meet the requirements of special experiments because the power density and spectral composition of the light source cannot be adjusted.

另外,紫外荧光老化试验箱大多都不配备观察窗,当用户需要观察试验箱内的情况时需要打开箱门,相当不便,且试验中的强光会伤害用户眼睛。In addition, most of the ultraviolet fluorescence aging test chambers are not equipped with observation windows. When users need to observe the situation in the test chamber, they need to open the chamber door, which is quite inconvenient, and the strong light in the test will hurt the user's eyes.

因此,亟需提供一种紫外荧光老化试验箱,以解决现有技术的不足。Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide an ultraviolet fluorescence aging test chamber to solve the deficiencies in the prior art.
