The environmental conditions faced by outdoor equipment are far more complex than those indoors—UV radiation causes materials to age and become brittle; exposure to heavy rain leads to electrical failures; salt fog corrosion affects metal components; and extreme temperature fluctuations cause sealing systems to fail. Failure in any single protective measure can result in damage to outdoor monitoring equipment, data loss, or even project disruption. To systematically verify the reliability of protective enclosures in real outdoor environments, WEISHUO conducted a 6-month multi-scenario tracking test on outdoor equipment protective enclosures:
• Test Period: 6 consecutive months
• Test Scenarios: Coastal salt fog environment, high-temperature desert exposure, mountainous day-night temperature fluctuations, and heavy rain and muddy conditions
• Average Load: 10–15 kg (simulating typical outdoor equipment such as solar controllers, communication base station equipment, geological detectors, and data loggers)
• Test Standards: ISO 4892 (UV aging of plastics), ISO 9227 (salt spray corrosion), IEC 60529 (IP protection rating), GB/T 4857 (Drop Impact)
During a 6-month real-world usage cycle, the protective enclosures underwent more than 40 instances of drops, collisions, and exposure to extreme weather of varying severity. The enclosure structures remained intact, and none of the internal equipment was damaged. One protective enclosure located at a coastal base station was inspected after two months of continuous exposure to sea breeze and salt fog; no salt fog deposits were found on the surfaces of the internal equipment, and it operated normally when powered on.
| Test Item | Test Conditions | Test Results |
| Accelerated UV Aging | 500 hours of UV exposure, wavelength 290–400 nm | Color difference ΔE ≤ 2.0; no cracks or chalking |
| Damp Heat Aging | 85°C/85% RH, 1,000 hours | Performance retention rate ≥ 90% |
| Temperature Cycling | –40°C to 90°C, 500 cycles | Deformation ≤ 0.1 mm, no cracking |
Note: 500 hours of accelerated UV aging is equivalent to approximately 12 months of natural outdoor exposure. After testing, the enclosure material showed no significant color change (ΔE ≤ 2.0, barely discernible to the naked eye), and the surface exhibited no cracks or chalking. The enclosure maintains structural stability across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for various climatic conditions, from the severe cold of the north to the intense heat of the south.
| Test Item | Test Conditions | Test Results |
| IP6X Dust-Proof Test | Dust chamber with negative pressure, 8 hours | Completely dust-proof; no dust ingress |
| IPX7 Water Resistance Test | 1-meter water depth, 30 minutes | Interior remains completely dry |
| Drop Test | 1.2-meter height, concrete surface | Enclosure shows no cracks; latches open and close normally |
| Static Load Test | 1000 N pressure | Deformation ≤ 5 mm |
| Air Tightness | Pressure difference of 50 kPa | Leakage rate ≤ 0.01 mL/min |
Note: The IP67 protection rating ensures complete dustproofing and prevents water ingress when submerged in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes, making it suitable for scenarios such as heavy rain, muddy terrain, and accidental submersion.
The operations and maintenance team at a communication base station in a coastal city used WEISHUO protective enclosures to house the base station controllers. After six months of exposure to sea breeze and salt fog, the enclosure latches showed no signs of rust and opened and closed smoothly; the equipment inside the enclosure had no salt fog deposits on its surfaces and operated normally. In contrast, standard enclosures used previously in the same environment had their latches rusted shut within 2–3 months.
A solar power project in a desert region used WEISHUO protective enclosures to house solar controllers. Throughout the project period, the enclosures endured extreme temperature fluctuations—reaching 60°C during the day and dropping to near 0°C at night—yet showed no deformation, the seals remained flexible, and the internal equipment operated stably.
A geological survey team used WEISHUO protective enclosures to house detection instruments on the western Sichuan Plateau (at an altitude of approximately 3,500 meters). During the three-month fieldwork period, the enclosures were dropped multiple times and submerged in water; however, the enclosure structure remained intact, and the internal equipment sustained no damage. The built-in pressure-balancing valve effectively resolved the issue of difficult lid opening caused by atmospheric pressure changes at high altitudes.
