Abstract

An electromagnetic anechoic chamber for testing information technology equipments (ITE) includes an anechoic chamber, a test bench installed in the anechoic chamber, and two tables for supporting the ITE. The tables slide in the anechoic chamber in turn. The test bench includes a first supporting plate defining two substantially parallel slide grooves and a through hole between the slide grooves, and a lift apparatus installed to a bottom of the first supporting plate. Each table includes an uninterruptible power system (UPS) detachably installed to the table. The lift apparatus includes a second supporting plate slidably received in the through hole from top to bottom. Each table slides on the first supporting plate along the slide grooves, until a corresponding UPS is supported on the second supporting plate. The lift apparatus moves the second supporting plate down, so that, the UPS is received in the through hole.

Claims

1. An electromagnetic anechoic chamber for testing information technology equipments (ITE), comprising:

an anechoic chamber;

a test bench installed in the anechoic chamber, and comprising a first supporting plate defining two substantially parallel slide grooves and a through hole between the slide grooves, and a lift apparatus installed to a bottom of the first supporting plate, wherein the lift apparatus comprises a second supporting plate slidably received in the through hole from top to bottom; and

two tables for supporting the ITE, wherein the tables slide in the anechoic chamber in turn, each table comprises an uninterruptible power system (UPS) detachably installed to the table, each table slides on the first supporting plate along the slide grooves until a corresponding UPS is supported on the second supporting plate, the lift apparatus moves the second supporting plate down, so that the UPS is received in the through hole.

2. The electromagnetic anechoic chamber of claim 1, wherein each table further comprises a rectangular top plate and four posts extending down from four corners of the top plate, and a conveying wheel is mounted on the underside of each post and is received and rolled in a corresponding slide groove.

3. The electromagnetic anechoic chamber of claim 2, wherein each table further comprises a connecting pole connected between two of the posts, and defines a guiding slot extending along a direction substantially perpendicular to the top plate, and the UPS further comprises a sliding member protrudes out from a side of the UPS and is inserted into the guiding slot.

4. The electromagnetic anechoic chamber of claim 3, wherein the guiding slot is substantially T-shaped, and the sliding member comprises a mounting plate mounted on the UPS, a positioning plate inserted into the guiding slot, and a connecting plate connected between the mounting plate and the positioning plate.

5. The electromagnetic anechoic chamber of claim 1, wherein the lift apparatus further comprises a shell mounted to the first supporting plate and a cylinder, the cylinder comprises a telescopic rod received in the shell, the second supporting plate is supported on a distal end of the telescopic rod, and the UPS is capable of being received in the shell.

6. The electromagnetic anechoic chamber of claim 5, wherein a power slot is defined in an inner surface, and a plug is formed on an outer surface of the UPS and is insertable into the power slot.

7. The electromagnetic anechoic chamber of claim 1, wherein the UPS further comprises a plurality of conveying wheels is mounted on an underside of each UPS.

8. The electromagnetic anechoic chamber of claim 1, wherein a shielding plate defines a plurality of sockets installed on a top of the UPS, and the shielding plate is covered on the first supporting plate for shielding the through hole.

9. The electromagnetic anechoic chamber of claim 1, wherein each slide groove comprises a substantially wedge-shaped access extending through a side of the first supporting plate.
