[0038] Refer to the attached Figures 1-12 , a load device for simulating the pushing and pulling of steel cables, includes a base 1, vertical plates 2, a rotating shaft 3, a rocker arm 4, a friction disc 5 and a friction plate 6. The upper end of the base 1 is symmetrically provided with vertical plates 2 on the left and right. A horizontal shaft hole 7 is coaxially provided on the two vertical plates 2. The two vertical plates 2 are commonly connected with a rotating shaft 3 through the shaft hole 7. The two vertical plates 2 are also provided with first mounting holes 8. The first mounting holes 8 are located on one side of the shaft hole 7. A first cylindrical pin 9 is mounted on the first mounting holes 8. On the rotating shaft 3 between the vertical plates 2, friction discs 5 are symmetrically connected on the left and right. On the side of the two friction discs 5 away from each other, first positioning holes 10 are provided. One end of the two first cylindrical pins 9 is respectively connected to the corresponding first positioning holes 10, so as to realize angular positioning and anti-rotation of the friction disc 5.

[0039] One end of the rocker arm 4 is rotatably connected to the middle of the rotating shaft 3. The rocker arm 4 is symmetrically provided with second mounting holes 11 centered on the rotating shaft 3. Second cylindrical pins 12 are mounted on the two second mounting holes 11. Friction plates 6 are arranged on both sides of the rocker arm 4. Second positioning holes 13 are arranged on the end faces of the two friction plates 6 close to each other. The two ends of the second cylindrical pin 12 are respectively connected to the corresponding second positioning holes 13, so as to prevent the rocker arm 4 from rotating relative to the friction plates 6. The two end faces of the two friction plates 6 away from each other are respectively in frictional contact with the two end faces of the two friction discs 5 close to each other.

[0040] A load adjusting mechanism 14 for controlling the tightness of the fit between the friction disc 5 and the friction plate 6 is arranged on the rotating shaft 3. Among them, both the friction disc 5 and the friction plate 6 are arranged in a disc shape. By arranging the base 1, the vertical plate 2, the rotating shaft 3, the rocker arm 4, the friction disc 5, the friction plate 6, the shaft hole 7, the first mounting hole 8, the first cylindrical pin, the first positioning hole 10, the second mounting hole 11, the second cylindrical pin 12, the second positioning hole 13 and the load adjusting mechanism 14, it is convenient to simulate the actual load for testing, so as to fully test and verify the life of the steel cable, and ensure the authenticity and credibility of the test data.

[0041] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the push / pull force alternating load, the load adjusting mechanism 14 includes a spring 141 and a fixing nut 142 fixedly arranged at the left end of the rotating shaft 3. The spring 141 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 3, and the spring 141 is located between the right vertical plate 2 and the adjacent friction disc 5. A bushing 143 is arranged on the rotating shaft 3, and the bushing 143 is movably connected to the right shaft hole 7. One end of the bushing 143 abuts against the end face of the spring 141. A first thread is arranged at the right end of the rotating shaft 3. The right end of the rotating shaft 3 is threadedly connected with an adjusting nut 144 through the first thread. The side of the adjusting nut 144 close to the vertical plate 2 abuts against the other end of the bushing 143, so as to provide a push / pull force alternating load for the steel cable life test, ensure the authenticity and credibility of the test data, and has good practicability; at the same time, during the use process, by rotating the adjusting nut 144 alone, the adjusting nut 144 is made to push the arranged bushing 143. Since the left side of the bushing 143 abuts against the spring 141, the spring 141 deforms, so as to control the frictional force between the friction disc 5 and the adjacent friction plate 6, thereby adjusting the push / pull force alternating load from one direction and achieving the effects of convenient and fast operation.

[0042] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the push / pull force alternating load, the load adjusting mechanism 14 includes two springs 141 and a fixing nut 142 fixedly arranged at the end of the rotating shaft 3. The two springs 141 are both sleeved on the rotating shaft 3, and the springs 141 are respectively located between the vertical plate 2 and the adjacent friction disc 5.

[0043] Two sliding sleeves 145 are respectively installed on the two shaft holes 7, and the outside of the sliding sleeve 145 is slidably connected to the shaft hole 7 through a sliding member 146.

[0044] On the rotating shaft 3, second threads with opposite helix directions are symmetrically arranged on the left and right. An internal thread that mates with the second thread is provided in the sliding sleeve 145.

[0045] One end of the two sliding sleeves 145 close to each other abuts against the end faces of the two springs 141 that are away from each other, thereby providing a push / pull force alternating load for the steel cable life test, ensuring the authenticity, credibility, and good practicability of the test data. At the same time, during use, by rotating the fixing nut 142 alone, since the second threads with opposite helix directions are symmetrically arranged on the left and right of the rotating shaft 3, and an internal thread that mates with the second thread is provided in the sliding sleeve 145, and the outside of the sliding sleeve 145 is slidably connected to the shaft hole 7 through the sliding member 146, when the fixing nut 142 drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate, the two sliding sleeves 145 approach or move away from each other, thereby pushing the two springs 141 to deform, so as to uniformly control the frictional force between the friction disc 5 and the adjacent friction plate 6 in two directions, so as to achieve the effect of uniformly adjusting the push / pull force alternating load in two directions when the rotating shaft 3 rotates.

[0046] To facilitate the fixing of the fixing nut 142, a washer 15 is provided between the fixing nut 142 and the adjacent vertical plate 2.

[0047] In this embodiment, to facilitate the sliding of the sliding sleeve 145, the sliding member 146 includes a sliding groove 1461, a clamping groove 1462, and a rolling ball 1463. The sliding grooves 1461 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 145, and the sliding grooves 1461 are arranged in the same direction as the shaft hole 7. The clamping grooves 1462 are symmetrically arranged on the hole wall of the shaft hole 7.

[0048] In this embodiment, to facilitate the connection of the tensile and compressive force sensor to the rocker arm 4, a connection hole 16 is provided at the other end of the rocker arm 4.

[0049] In this embodiment, to facilitate the fixing of the load device on the test bench, fixing holes 17 are provided on the base 1.

[0050] Among them, a through hole 18 that mates with the first cylindrical pin 9 is provided on the spring 141, which is convenient for angular positioning of the spring 18 and prevents the spring 18 from rotating.

[0051] In this embodiment, to further facilitate the connection between the rocker arm 4 and the friction plate 6, grooves are provided on the left and right end faces of the rocker arm 4, and bosses matching the grooves are provided on the friction plate 6. Among them, the cross-section of the groove is one of a circle, a regular polygon, and a tooth shape. Among them, Figure 7 it is the structure that the cross-section of the groove provided on the end face of the rocker arm 4 is a circle; when the cross-section of the groove is a regular polygon or a tooth shape, the connection between the groove with a regular polygon or tooth-shaped cross-section and the boss can replace the connection between the rocker arm and the friction plate through the second cylindrical pin, thereby also avoiding the relative rotation between the rocker arm 4 and the friction plate 6.

[0052] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution of the present invention and its inventive concept, makes equivalent replacements or changes, and should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
