By holding the first screw handle 32, the first bolt 31 can be rotated, and the first bolt 31 can move back and forth. The extrusion head 33 moves forward and can fit under the outer surface of the drum.
[0035] Slide rods 18 are vertically provided at the four corners of the upper surface of the workbench 1. The slide sleeve 4 is sleeved on the slide rod 18. The slide sleeve 4 can move up and down on the slide rod 18. A second screw rod 41 is provided on the surface of the slide sleeve 4, which passes through the slide sleeve 4. The second screw rod 41 is threadedly connected to the slide sleeve 4. One end of the second screw rod 41 is provided with a second screw handle 42, and the other end abuts against the surface of the slide rod 18. Holding the second screw handle 42 and rotating it can drive the second screw rod 41 to move forward and backward. When the second screw rod 41 moves forward, the end of the second screw rod 41 can abut against the outer surface of the slide rod 16, so that the slide sleeve 4 can be fixed at a certain position on the slide rod 18;
[0036] The top plate 5 is fixed to the top of the four slide bars 18. The top plate 5 is located parallel to the top of the workbench 1. Four electric push rods 51 are vertically arranged in the top plate 5. The electric push rods 51 are vertically downward. The ends of the electric push rods 51 are provided with lifting plates 53. That is, the extension and contraction of the electric push rods 51 can drive the lifting plate 53 to move up and down. The four corners of the lifting plate 53 are respectively sleeved on the four slide bars 18. The four slide bars 18 limit the up and down movement of the lifting plate 53. The lifting plate 53 is located directly below the top plate 5 and remains parallel to the top plate 5.
[0037] Two clamping blocks 43 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the sliding sleeve 4, and a cantilever 44 is rotatably provided between the two clamping blocks 43. A roller 45 is rotatably provided on the end of the cantilever 44 away from the clamping blocks 43, that is, the cantilever 44 can rotate between the clamping blocks 43. When the cantilever 44 rotates, the roller 45 can fit into the outer surface of the drum, so that the roller 45 plays a supporting and limiting role on the middle area of the drum.
[0038] Legs 11 are vertically provided at the four corners of the lower surface of the workbench 1, and a base plate 13 is provided between the four legs 11. A center hole 15 is provided in the center of the upper surface of the workbench 1, and a shaft rod 21 is vertically provided in the center of the lower surface of the support plate 2. The shaft rod 21 passes through the center hole 15, and a driven pulley 22 is provided at the lower end of the shaft rod 21. A motor 14 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 13, and a driving pulley 141 is provided at the driving shaft end of the motor 14. A transmission belt 142 is wrapped around the driving pulley 141 and the driven pulley 22, that is, the motor 14 drives the driving pulley 141 to rotate when it works, and the driving pulley 141 drives the driven pulley 22 to rotate through the transmission belt 142, the shaft rod 21 and the support plate 2 rotate with the driven pulley 22, and the roller placed on the upper surface of the support plate 2 rotates with the support plate 2.
[0039] The seat plate 3 has five to eight equally spaced edges distributed around the edge of the upper surface of the support plate 2. The extrusion head 33 is located at one end of the first screw 31 close to the center of the support plate 2. In this way, there are also five to eight extrusion heads 33, which can fix various positions in the circumferential direction below the surface of the drum.

[0040] A first reinforcing rib 12 is provided between the side of the support leg 11 and the lower surface of the workbench 1, and a second reinforcing rib 52 is provided between the surface of the electric push rod 51 and the upper surface of the top plate 4. There are four second reinforcing ribs 52, which are evenly distributed around the electric push rod 51 at equal intervals, so that the structural strength between the electric push rod 51 and the top plate 5 is better.
[0041] The upper surface of the workbench 1 is provided with a circular lower groove 16, which is located around the center hole 15 and is concentric with the center hole 15. The lower surface of the support plate 2 is provided with a circular upper groove, which is located directly above the lower groove 16. A plurality of rollers 17 are evenly arranged around the lower groove 16 at equal intervals. The upper half of the rollers 17 is abutted against the inner wall of the upper groove. The rollers 17 support the support plate 2, so that the rolling of the lower surface of the support plate 2 is rolling friction, so that the resistance to the horizontal circular rotation of the support plate 2 is small.
[0042] A circular annular groove 54 is provided in the center of the lower surface of the lifting plate 53. The annular groove 54 is located directly above the support plate 2, and the center of the annular groove 54 is aligned vertically with the center of the support plate 2.

[0043] A rotating shaft is provided on the upper and lower surfaces of one end of the cantilever 44 close to the clamping block 43, and a rubber sleeve is provided at the end of the rotating shaft. The rubber sleeve is a large damping rod for the rotation of the cantilever 44, so that when the cantilever 44 rotates to a certain position, it can stay at that position. The end of the rotating shaft is rotatably installed in the clamping block 43, and the rubber sleeve is located between the rotating shaft and the clamping block 43.
[0044] The roller 45 is flat, and the orthographic projection of the edge of the roller 45 is located inside the support plate 2, so that the roller 45 can fit on the outer surface of the drum.
[0045] The four corners of the lifting plate 53 are provided with circular protruding blocks, and the protruding blocks are provided with circular holes penetrating the protruding blocks. The slide rod 18 passes through the circular holes, so that the lifting plate 53 slides up and down and is relatively stable.
[0046] The four electric push rods 51 are symmetrically arranged on the top plate 5 in a front-to-back and left-to-right manner, and the front end of the extrusion head 33 is spherical.
[0047] To sum up: the motor 14 works, the active pulley 141 rotates, and the transmission belt 142 drives the driven pulley 22 to rotate, so that the support plate 2 rotates accordingly; the roller 17 is between the lower slide groove 16 and the upper slide groove, and the roller 17 supports the support plate 2, and solid lubricant is applied between the lower slide groove 16 and the roller 17, so that the support plate 2 can be relatively stable on the upper surface of the workbench 1 at a faster speed;
[0048] Place the roller to be tested horizontally on the upper surface of the support plate 2, hold the first screw handle 32 and turn it, so that the first screw 31 and the extrusion head 33 can move toward the roller, and the extrusion head 33 can fit on the outer surface of the roller. The extrusion head 33 is made of rubber. Multiple extrusion heads 33 can abut against the outer surface of the roller to firmly fix the roller;
[0049] The electric push rod 51 moves downward, driving the lifting plate 53 to move downward. The lifting plate 53 just moves to the upper edge of the roller. The upper edge of the roller enters the annular groove 54. Then the four cantilever arms 44 are rotated toward the center of the support plate 2, so that the four rollers 45 are attached to the outer surface of the roller. When the roller rotates, the rollers 45 can rotate with it.
[0050] Under the fixing action of multiple squeezing heads 33 and the contact action of four rollers 45, clothes of appropriate weight are placed into the drum. During the rapid rotation of the drum, the drum can remain stable. The lower area, middle area and upper area of the drum can all maintain stable rotation, simulating the state of the drum when it is working.
[0051] The support plate 2 has a certain area. Rollers of different sizes can be placed on the support plate 2 and can be firmly fixed. After the roller rotates for a period of time, the roller is removed and the inner wall of the roller is inspected for defects such as cracks and fine lines to determine whether the quality of the roller is qualified. Rollers of different sizes and models can be inspected on the upper surface of the support plate 2.
