Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cold environment test apparatus, and more particularly to a cold environment test apparatus that is effective when a large amount of samples are stored in a test chamber for testing.

[Background of the Invention]

A conventional cold heat circulation test apparatus is provided with a test chamber, a low temperature chamber for generating cold air, and a high temperature chamber for generating hot air independently, as shown in JP-A-58-42952, and cool air generated in the low temperature chamber, The hot air generated in the high greenhouse is switched by a cold air switching damper or a hot air switching damper to be distributed to the test chamber, and the cold air switching damper blocks the cold air supply port and the hot air switching damper blocks the hot air supply port. At times, the cold air is circulated to the cold air circulation passage in the low temperature chamber, and the hot air is circulated to the hot air circulation passage in the high temperature chamber.

However, in this cold heat circulation test apparatus, even when cold air or hot air is circulated to the test chamber, the cold air supply port and the cold air circulation passage of the low temperature chamber have the hot air supply port and the hot air circulation passage of the high temperature chamber. Since it has a structure that communicates with each other, when a large amount of sample is stored in the test room and tested,
The sample becomes resistance, and cold air or hot air bypasses to the cold air circulation passage of the low temperature chamber or the hot air circulation passage of the high temperature chamber with little resistance, and it becomes impossible to supply sufficient cold air or hot air to the test chamber. As a result, the air volume and the air velocity decrease, so that the sample is not uniformly exposed to the air, and the temperature change time becomes non-uniform.

[Object of the Invention]

The object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art, and even if a large amount of sample is stored in the test chamber, the bypass amount of the cold air or hot air to the circulation passage is eliminated, and cold air or hot air is effectively flowed into the test chamber. It is to provide a cold environment test device capable of performing the above.

[Outline of Invention]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a cold air circulation passage portion near a cold air supply port with a first partition plate capable of opening and closing the cold air circulation passageway in conjunction with a cold air switching damper, and providing hot air near the hot air supply port. The circulation passage portion is provided with a second partition plate that can open and close the hot air circulation passageway in conjunction with the hot air switching damper. The first division plate closes the cold air circulation passageway when the cold air switching damper moves to the open position. All the cold air is circulated to the cold air supply port, and when the cold air switching damper moves to the closed position, the cold air circulation passage is opened, and when the hot air switching damper moves to the open position, the second partition plate has the hot air circulation passage. Is closed to allow all of the hot air to flow to the hot air supply port, and to open the hot air circulation passage when the hot air switching damper moves to the closed position.
