As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 5, the high temperature and high humidity testing device includes: a test platform 1 composed of a work area 101 and a non-work area 102, the work area 101 is used for carrying a under-test portion 301 of a display panel 3, and the non-work area 102 is used for carrying a non-test portion 302 of the display panel 3; and a sealing cover 2 arranged above the work area 101, wherein the sealing cover 2 and the test platform 1 jointly form a sealed chamber in the work area 101, the test platform 1 is provided with a gas guide through groove 4 in the work area 101, and the gas guide through groove 4 is used for delivering high temperature and high humidity gas into the sealed chamber. The high temperature and high humidity gas specifically may be high-temperature water vapor.

(13) With reference to FIG. 3, when the under-test display panels 3 are small in size, the high temperature and high humidity testing device can simultaneously test a plurality of small-sized display panels 3; and with reference to FIG. 4, when the under-test display panels 3 are large in size, the high temperature and high humidity testing device can test the large-sized display panels 3 one by one.

(14) In the high temperature and high humidity testing device according to of the first embodiment, the test platform 1 is divided into a work area 101 and a non-work area 102, the under-test portion 301 of the display panel 3 is positioned at the work area 101, the non-test portion 302 of the display panel 3 is positioned at the non-work area 102, and high temperature and high humidity test is only performed on the under-test portion 301 in the work area 101 during testing, so that the non-test portion 302 of the display panel 3 is prevented from being damaged in the test process.

(15) The specific structure of the sealing cover 2 of the high temperature and high humidity testing device will be described in detail below in combination with an accompanying drawing.

(16) FIG. 6 is a structural schematic diagram of the sealing cover 2 in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 6, the sealing cover 2 includes a cover top 205 provided with a gas outlet through groove 5 for exhausting high temperature and high humidity gas in the sealed chamber, and surrounding walls formed by bending the edges of four sides of the cover top 205 downwards. Further, the cover top 205 is provided with a telescopic baffle 6 capable of opening and closing the gas outlet through groove 5.

(17) In this embodiment, closing or opening of the gas outlet through groove 5 can be correspondingly controlled by controlling the baffle 6 to extend or retract. Moreover, superposition of a plurality of high temperature and high humidity testing devices becomes possible through the gas outlet through groove 5, and the specific solution will be described below.

(18) Further, the surrounding walls include a first surrounding wall 201, a second surrounding wall 202, a third surrounding wall 203 and a fourth surrounding wall 204, the first surrounding wall 201 is opposite to the third surrounding wall 203, the second surrounding wall 202 is opposite to the fourth surrounding wall 204, and the first surrounding wall 201 is positioned at the junction of the work area 101 and the non-work area 102, A magnetic flexible seal 9 is arranged below the first surrounding wall 201, and the third surrounding wall 203 is rotatably connected with the test platform 1.

(19) It should be noted that in the practical design process, the test platform 1 can be made of a metal material that can be attracted by a magnetic matter, and when the third surrounding wall 203 rotates to drive the first surrounding wall 201 to move to a position in contact with the test platform 1, the magnetic flexible seal 9 below the first surrounding wall 201 attracts the test platform 1, so that the sealing cover 2 seals the test platform 1. When the test platform 1 itself cannot be attracted by the magnetic flexible seal 9, some metal material attracted by the magnetic matter can be arranged at the junction of the work area 101 and the non-work area 102. Moreover, when the magnetic flexible seal 9 is in contact with the test platform 1, since the magnetic flexible seal 9 has good flexibility, the magnetic flexible seal 9 does not destroy a flexible circuit board 303, used for connecting the under-test portion 301 with the non-test portion 302, of the display panel 3.

(20) Optionally, the first surrounding wall 201 is provided with a concave portion 10, and the first surrounding wall 201 can be lifted through the concave portion 10 after the high temperature and high humidity test so that the tested display panel 3 can be taken out.

(21) However, in the practical high temperature and high humidity test process, the sealing cover 2 is easily jacked (the first surrounding wall 201 is separated from the upper surface of the test platform 1) due to high air pressure in the sealed chamber, so that the sealing environment of the sealed chamber is broken. In order to solve the technical problem, in this embodiment, optionally, a fixed block 21 is arranged on the outer side of each of the second surrounding wall 202 and the fourth surrounding wall 204, the bottom surfaces of the fixed blocks 21 are fixedly connected with the test platform 1, and the first surrounding wall 201 is detachably connected with the fixed blocks 21 by hasps 22. The first surrounding wall 201 is fixed to the fixed blocks 21 by the hasps 22 during testing, so that the sealing cover 2 can be prevented from being jacked.
