IEC60529 Vertical Rain Drip Box Test Chamber for IPX1 and IPX2 Testing

IPX1 and IPX2 Vertical Rain Drip Box Test Chamber

1. Introduction:

IPX1-2 Vertical Rain Drip Box Test Chamber is designed according to IEC60529 clause 14.2.1 and 14.2.2. It is applied to simulate the conditions of vertically dripping and dripping with 15 degrees tilted, and then to check if the products ( electronics, luminaire, electric components, auto parts and etc.) can meet the requirements. The equipment can be customized according to size of test specimen.

The drip box test chamber is consisted by drip board (L600mm*W600mm) turntable, water tank, control units (touch screen+PLC), flowmeter and etc.. the aperture of nozzle is Φ0.4mm, distant of drip nozzle is 20mm, sample can be over 50kg. The test chamber is built-in a water tank, the water can be recycled. 4 casters are placed on the bottom of the chamber to make it can be moved easily.

The IPX1 waterproof testing equipment request the dripping water (vertically falling drops) shall have no harmful effect. Test duration: 10 minutes, equivalent to 1 mm / minute.

The IPX2 waterproof testing equipment request Vertically dripping water shall have no harmful effect when the enclosure is tilted at an angle up to 15° from its normal position. Test duration: 10 minutes (2.5min in each of 4 fixed positions of tilt). Water equivalent to 3 mm/minute.

2. Features:

● For IPX1 and IPX2 testing

● Adopts the double-layer structure design of inner box + outer shell. The outer shell is processed by high-quality A3 steel plate, and the surface is sprayed with baking paint, which is nice-looking and durable.

● The drip board, inner box, turntable and other wading parts are made of SUS304# stainless steel to ensure rustless for a long time.

● Rain drip board: adopts vacuum design and is made of high anti-rust stainless steel material. The nozzle base adopts brass cone, which is convenient and quick to replace the drip needle (100pcs spare drip needle will be configured).

● It has the function of air-drying with compressed air. After the test is completed, the excess water in the drip box can be drained out to avoid long-term accumulation of water and scaling and clogging of pinholes ( air compressor is prepared by user).

● The water supply pipeline is equipped with a precision filter to filter impurities in the water and prevent needle clogging.

● The turntable uses a stepping motor, the rotation speed and tilted angle can be precisely set on the touch screen. The speed required by the IPX1 standard: 1r/min, it can automatically complete the IPX2 test requirements: 4 positions respectively drip 2.5min.

● The sample power socket (AC220, 10A) is installed on the wall, and the power on and off time of the sample power can be controlled by the program: power off (0-999min)-power on (0-999min)-power off (0-999min), it is applied to do live test.

● The equipment has a built-in circulating water tank for circulating water, and the structure of the water tank adopts an easy-to-clean design. The water level of the water tank is automatically controlled, and there are high and low water level alarm detection.

● Control system: 7 inch touch screen+ Panosonic PLC.The electrical components are made by LS, Omron, etc.
