[0032] Specifically, the loading device comprises a base plate and a rudder mounting seat, the rudder mounting seat is arranged on one end side of the base plate, a rotating disc is arranged on one end of the rudder mounting seat, a steel wire is fixedly arranged on the rotating disc, the rotating disc can be rotated under the driving of the rudder, so that the steel wire on the upper side or the lower side of the rotating disc can pull the movable rod, a spring is arranged between the middle part of the movable rod and the spring seat, the spring limits the movement of the movable rod in the spring seat, the spring applies the elastic force to the movable rod, so that the torque can be applied to the measured rudder.

[0033] Optionally, the spring seat is provided with a containing cavity, the containing cavity is in communication with the outside of one end of the spring seat, and one end of the spring seat is screwed with a limiting nut, the limiting nut can limit the spring in the containing cavity.

[0034] Specifically, the spring seat is provided with a containing cavity for placing the spring, when the spring with different elastic forces is arranged in the containing cavity, the spring is fixed relative to the movable rod, and the spring limits the movement of the movable rod in the spring seat; when different torques need to be loaded to the rudder, the limiting nut can be detached from the spring seat, then the extended part of the movable rod is disconnected from the movable rod, so that the spring can be separated from the movable rod, and the spring with the required torque coefficient can be replaced.

[0035] Optionally, the two ends of the spring seat are respectively provided with a first linear bearing and a second linear bearing, the other end of the spring seat is connected with the movable rod through the first linear bearing, and the movable rod is connected with the linear guide rail through the second linear bearing.

[0036] Specifically, the spring seat is connected with the movable rod through the first linear bearing, so that the movable rod can smoothly slide in the spring seat, thereby facilitating the pulling of the movable rod by the steel wire; the movable rod and the extended part of the movable rod are connected with the linear guide rail through the second linear bearing at the connecting end of the movable rod and the linear guide rail, when the movable rod is pulled by the steel wire, the movable rod can slide relative to the linear guide rail, and the linear guide rail does not bring resistance to the movement of the movable rod; when the spring needs to be replaced, the movable rod and the extended part thereof can be disconnected, the linear guide rail abuts against the end ball of the extended part of the movable rod, so that the linear guide rail can drive the extended part of the movable rod to move away from the spring seat, thereby separating the spring from the movable rod, and facilitating the replacement of the spring with different torque coefficients.
