In the process of automobile research and development, a new car needs to experience the "extreme survival test" from extreme cold to high temperature, from dust to rainstorm, and the completion of this mission is inseparable from the automobile simulation environment laboratory. What hard core structures and superpowers are hidden in this mysterious laboratory, known as the "Omnipotent Environmental Steward"?
1、 The "skeletal system" of the laboratory: modular structural design
The automobile simulation environment laboratory adopts a modular structure design, consisting of four core modules: environment simulation cabin, control system, data acquisition system, and safety protection system.
1. Environmental simulation cabin: It adopts a double-layer stainless steel structure, with an inner layer of anti-corrosion coating and an outer layer covered with insulation material, which can accurately simulate abnormal temperatures ranging from -40 ℃ to 80 ℃, as well as humidity environments of 85% RH ± 5%. The cabin is equipped with high-precision sensors to monitor temperature and humidity changes in real time.
2. Control system: Equipped with PLC+industrial PC control system, it can accurately adjust parameters such as temperature, humidity, lighting, vibration, etc., and support multi-mode operation (such as rapid temperature change, constant humidity and heat, cyclic testing, etc.).
3. Data acquisition system: Real time collection of vehicle operation data (such as battery performance and engine operating conditions) through interfaces such as CAN bus and Ethernet, ensuring accurate and reliable testing data.
4. Safety protection system: equipped with automatic fire extinguishing devices, emergency pressure relief valves, gas leakage alarms and other safety measures to ensure the safety of the experiment.
2、 The 'superpower' of the laboratory: covering all scenario testing
The automotive simulation environment laboratory can simulate various abnormal environments to help car manufacturers complete comprehensive testing:
1. Abnormal climate testing: Simulate desert high temperature (80 ℃), polar cold (-40 ℃), plateau low pressure (altitude 5000m) and other environments to verify the weather resistance of vehicle components.
2. Corrosion testing: Through salt spray test and acid rain test, the corrosion resistance of components such as car paint and chassis is tested.
3. Vibration testing: Simulate vibration environments such as bumpy roads and stone impacts to evaluate the reliability of vehicle suspension systems and electronic components.
4. Light aging test: Using a combination of ultraviolet and infrared light sources, simulate the effects of long-term sunlight on the interior and rubber parts.
5. Intelligent networking test: test the perception and decision-making ability of the auto drive system in rainy and foggy weather with V2X communication technology.

3、 Future trend: smarter and more precise
With the development of AI and big data technology, the laboratory is upgrading towards intelligence and automation, which can achieve remote control, real-time optimization of testing plans, and predict vehicle failures based on big data analysis, further improving research and development efficiency.
Conclusion
The Automotive Simulation Environment Laboratory is not only the "quality gatekeeper" for automotive research and development, but also the "incubator" for future intelligent automotive technology. It allows cars to undergo a "thousand trials and tribulations" before entering the market, bringing users a safer and more reliable driving experience.
