Background
The temperature limiter is a temperature sensitive controller, mainly comprising a temperature sensing part, a contact and the like. In a normal state, the contact is closed, and a corresponding circuit works normally; when the temperature sensed by the temperature sensing part exceeds a set range (is lower than or higher than a certain specific temperature value), the contact is disconnected, so that a corresponding circuit is disconnected; when the temperature returns to be within the set range, the contacts are closed again, and the corresponding circuit is closed again. Therefore, the temperature limiter can limit the corresponding temperature within a set range, and plays a role in protection.
The air conditioner motor and the electric heating component belong to strong electric devices and can generate heat during work. When the working states of the motor and the electric heating component are abnormal and abnormal heat is generated, so that the surface temperatures of the motor and the electric heating component exceed the temperature value of normal working, the temperature limiters of the motor and the electric heating component can cut off the power supply, the motor and the electric heating component stop working, and the safety of the whole machine product is prevented from being influenced by thermal deformation, combustion and the like of the motor and the electric heating component. Therefore, the reliability of the service life of the motor and the temperature limiter of the electric heating part directly influences the safety of the whole machine product.
In the prior art, when the service life of the temperature limiter is tested, electric blowing hot air is used for heating the temperature limiter to be tested, and the heating is stopped when the contact of the temperature limiter to be tested is disconnected; and when the temperature limiter to be tested is cooled until the contact is closed again, starting the electric blowing hot air to heat the temperature limiter to be tested again, and repeating the steps in such a way, so as to test the service life of the temperature limiter by recording the times of opening or closing the contact of the temperature limiter to be tested. However, the prior art that uses a hair dryer to test the service life of the temperature limiter has at least the following defects: (1) the existing test tool is carried out in an open environment, the opening and closing time of a contact of the temperature limiter is greatly influenced by the ambient temperature, the airflow size, the distance between an air outlet of the electric hair drier and the temperature limiter to be tested and the like, so that the test result of the service life of the temperature limiter to be tested is unstable; (2) the existing test tool cannot simulate the circuit environment of the temperature limiter in actual use, and the contact of the temperature limiter to be detected can only be mechanically opened or closed, so that a test result has a large error with the service life of the temperature limiter in actual application.
Therefore, the improvement of the test tool in the prior art is urgently needed.
