In this embodiment, the structure of the slide rail 31 is rectangular, and the top of the rectangle is concave inward; and grooves concave inward are provided on both sides of the rectangle. The shape of the connection between the bottom of the fixed block 32 and the slide rail 31 is consistent with the overall shape of the slide rail 31. The bottom of the fixed block 32 only covers the bottom of the groove on the side of the slide rail 31 at the matching point with the slide rail 31, and is not in the same plane as the bottom of the slide rail 31, and does not contact the platform at the bottom of the slide rail 31, so as to reduce wear.

[0048] The top of the fixing block 32 is provided with a fixing structure for fixing the cable, specifically two semicircular rings protruding forward, and the semicircular rings can be connected to each other to fix the cable. The center of the semicircular rings after connection is on the same axis as the center of the twisting device 2.

[0049] The torsion device 2 includes a torsion motor 21, a torsion rod 22, and a torsion disk 23. The torsion device 2 is fixed on the bracket 1. A hole for accommodating the torsion device 2 is provided at the top edge of the bracket 1 in the vertical direction, wherein the torsion rod 22 can be fixed in the hole at the top of the bracket 1. In the torsion device 2, the torsion rod 22 is fixed in the hole at the top of the bracket 1. A torsion disk 23 is provided at one end of the torsion rod 22 close to the stretching device 3, and a torsion motor 21 is provided at one end of the torsion rod 22 away from the stretching device 3.

[0050] A torsion assembly is disposed inside the torsion disk 23, and the torsion assembly can move from the edge of the torsion disk 23 to the center of the circle. When the torsion disk 23 rotates, the torsion assembly can be driven to rotate along the edge of the torsion disk 23. The torsion assembly can fix the cable and rotate the fixed part to apply torque to the cable.

[0051] The torsion assembly includes a guide rail, a sliding block 231, a torsion block 232, a driving block 233, and a locking block 234. There are two slide rails, and grooves for accommodating the slide rails are arranged on both sides of the sliding block 231; the torsion block 232 is arranged in the middle of the sliding block 231 and protrudes a part; in the protruding part of the torsion block 232, a driving block 233 is arranged, and the driving block 233 can drive the torsion block 232 to rotate; the locking block 234 is arranged inside the torsion block 232, and the locking block 234 can connect the cable and fix the cable in the middle of the sliding block 232.

[0052] In this embodiment, the bottom ends of both sides of the slide rail are recessed inward, and both ends of the sliding block 231 can be connected to the guide rail and move on the guide rail. The sliding block 231 is H-shaped as a whole, and grooves connected to the guide rail are provided on both sides. A reciprocating motor is provided inside the sliding block 231, and the reciprocating motor can adjust the position of the sliding block 231 on the guide rail. The guide rail is fixed in the torsion disk 23 and is located on the radius of the torsion disk 23; the sliding block 231 can move on the guide rail, drive the torsion assembly to move from the edge of the torsion disk 23 to the center of the torsion disk 23, and can reciprocate.

[0054] The torsion block 232 not fixed to the outside of the sliding block 231 is connected to the driving block 233, and the driving block 233 can provide rotational power for the torsion block 232. In this embodiment, the top of the driving block 233 is connected to a motor, and the motor drives the driving block 233 to rotate, and the power is provided by the motor.

[0055] A locking block 234 is provided in the middle of the torsion block 232. The locking block 234 can connect the cable and fix the cable on the torsion block 232. In this embodiment, the locking block 234 is a semicircular ring structure, and there are two locking blocks 234. After the locking blocks 234 are connected, a ring is formed, and the cable to be tested can be fixed inside the ring. A plurality of teeth are arranged on the inner surface of the locking block 234. The locking block 234 fixes the point cable through the inner teeth. When a torque is applied to the cable, the teeth can prevent the cable from rotating accidentally, thereby ensuring the safety of the cable during the operation before and after the test.

The inner diameters of the rings of different types of locking blocks 234 are different, and the outer diameters of the rings are the same. They can all be fixed inside the torsion block 232. Different types of locking blocks 234 can fix cables to be tested with different diameters.

[0058] One end of the cable is fixed to the torsion device 2, and the other end of the cable is fixed to the tension device 3. Through the cooperation of the torsion device 2 and the tension device 3 arranged on the bracket 1, the cable can be stretched and twisted, and the force applied to the cable during actual use can be measured.

[0059] By testing the cable, we can determine the service life of the cable after stretching and torsion, and judge whether the cable meets the production requirements.

[0060] The specific test method is:

[0061] Step 1: Set the fixing block 32 on the side of the slide rail 31 away from the twisting device 2;

[0062] Step 2: Arrange the torsion assembly in the middle of the torsion disk 23;

[0063] Step 3: Confirm the length of the cable to be tested, and adjust the position of the stretching device 3 on the bracket 1 so that the distance between the stretching device 1 and the torsion device 2 is the length of the cable to be tested;

[0064] Step 4: Fix one end of the cable to be tested in the middle of the fixing block 32, and fix the other end in the torsion assembly through the locking block 234;

[0065] Step 5: Move the fixing block 32 to one side of the slide rail close to the twisting device 2;

[0066] Step 6: Move the torsion assembly to the edge of the torsion disk 23;

[0067] Step 7: The torsion motor 31 drives the torsion disk 23 to rotate, and stops rotating after rotating at least half a circle, and the torsion assembly moves to the middle of the torsion disk 23;

[0068] Step 8: The fixing block 32 moves to the side of the slide rail away from the twisting device 2 .

[0069] In step 7 , the driving block 233 continuously drives the torsion block 232 to rotate along the rotation direction of the torsion disk 23 .

[0070] Step 7 can twist the tested cable, and after the twisting is completed, the cable is stretched through step 8. After the cable is manufactured, the quality standard used is required to measure the quality of the cable. In this embodiment, the motor connected to the drive block 233 can adjust the set torque, and the motor inside the fixed block 32 can adjust the output tension to ensure that the cable is quality tested within the standard that meets the production requirements, prevent the output torque and tension from being too large to cause misjudgment, affect the detection quality, and more comprehensively evaluate the durability and performance of the cable.
