[0015] Figure 2 This is a front view of the device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The entire device mainly includes a main support frame 1, a control box 2, a motor 3, an eccentric wheel 4, a slide 5, a slider 6, a height adjustment frame 7, a tension roller 8, a tension spring 9, a tension sensor 10, a capsule 11, a traction rod 13, a slide 14, a sleeve 15, a mounting column 16, and a support column 17. The motor shaft is connected to the eccentric wheel 4, which is connected to the traction rod 13. The traction rod is connected to the slide 14. Two sliders 6 are provided on each side of the slide 14. The sliders 6 are installed on the slide 5 with a gap. The slide 14 has a transverse elongated hole 12. A mounting column 16 is provided on each side of the main support frame. The mounting column 16 is equipped with a sleeve 15. The tension roller 8 is connected between the two sleeves. After the capsule 11 passes around the tension roller 8, the two ends pass through the transverse elongated holes 12 on the slide and are fixed to the main support frame 1. The slide 5 is mounted on the height adjustment frame 7, which is fixed to the support column 17 with screws. The support column is fixed to the four corners of the main support frame 11. The height of the slide plate and the slider can be adjusted by loosening the screws. A spring 18 is provided below the height adjustment frame for shock absorption.

[0017] During operation, capsule 11 is secured to the main support frame 1, and the detection device is started and stopped by control box 2. Motor 3 begins rotating, driving eccentric wheel 4, which in turn drives traction rod 13 and slide plate 14 to reciprocate forward and backward within a specified range, pushing capsule 11 back and forth. A tension roller 8 contacts capsule 11, and a tension spring 9 connected to roller 8 applies a downward force to capsule 11. The magnitude of this force is detected by tension sensor 10. Tension roller 8 simulates the tension exerted by friction between two vehicles on capsule 11 as they negotiate a curve. By adjusting the relative position of tension spring 9 and tension sensor 10, varying tensions can be simulated. By varying the relative position of slide block 6 and capsule 11, various deformation angles and processes can be simulated. A tension digital display and counter are located on the front of control box 2, providing real-time information on the tension exerted on capsule 11 and the number of reciprocating movements. A running indicator light and a stop light indicate the operating status of the detection device.
