[0002] In oilfield pipelines, fatigue fracture of pipelines is often caused by various alternating stresses in the pipelines. Such alternating stresses are mainly caused by pressure fluctuations of the pipeline transport medium, geological changes outside the pipeline, and changes in ambient temperature. Under these loads, the pipeline will not only produce fatigue along the axial direction of the pipeline, but also bending fatigue. Therefore, it is very necessary to test the fatigue mechanical properties of pipelines in oilfield pipelines.

However, since pipeline fatigue testing usually uses original parts for testing, the diameter and length of the original parts are not uniform. When the pipeline length and pipeline diameter change, it is necessary to redesign the fixed end bracket of the corresponding size, which not only slows down the test progress, but also increases the test cost. Therefore, it is urgent to design a new fatigue testing machine pipeline fixing device that can adapt to different pipeline lengths and pipeline diameters. Summary of the invention
