There are multiple groups of bidirectional threaded rods 37, connecting blocks 36 and clamping plates 35, which are evenly distributed on the fixed plate 31 and the slide plate 32. A receiving end 33 is plugged into the upper surface of the fixed plate 31, and an insertion end 34 is plugged into the upper surface of the slide plate 32.

[0041] Working principle: When the device is used, first insert the receiving end 33 into the fixed plate 31, insert the insertion end 34 into the slide plate 32, and then turn the bidirectional threaded rod 37 to drive the connecting block 36 and the clamping plate 35 to move toward the center line of the fixed plate 31 and the slide plate 32. The moving clamping plate 35 will gradually approach the receiving end 33 and the insertion end 34, and finally clamp the receiving end 33 at the center line of the fixed plate 31, and clamp the insertion end 34 at the center line of the slide plate 32. At this time, the insertion end 34 and the receiving end 33 will remain aligned.

[0042] Then pass the data cable 51 through the fixing ring 54 and rotate the locking bolt 52. The rotating locking bolt 52 will drive the rotating block 53 and the fixing ring 54 to move backward. The fixing ring 54 moving backward will clamp the data cable 51 between the fixing ring 54 and the support frame 2, and the data cable 51 will be fixed.

[0043] Then, the motor 41 is started to drive the round rod 42, the disk 43 and the round block 44 to rotate around the center of the disk 43, and the round block 44 will produce eccentric motion. The round block 44 will drive the slider 45 to move horizontally and vertically. The slider 45 that moves horizontally will move along the trajectory of the moving plate 46, and the slider 45 that moves vertically will drive the moving plate 46 and the connecting plate 48 to move downward. The connecting plate 48 that moves downward will pull the insertion end 34 and the data line 51 to move downward. The data line 51 that moves downward will be stretched, and the tensile strength of the data line 51 can be measured. The insertion end 34 that moves downward will be continuously plugged in and out of the receiving end 33 to measure the lifespan of the receiving end 33 and the insertion end 34. When the receiving end 33, the insertion end 34 and the data line 51 are in good condition, the display screen on the detection machine 1 will display data. When the receiving end 33, the insertion end 34 or the data line 51 are damaged, the display screen on the detection machine 1 will not display data, which can be discovered in time by the staff, so that the lifespan of the receiving end 33, the insertion end 34 or the data line 51 can be accurately measured.

[0044] After the test, turn off the motor 41 and rotate the bidirectional threaded rod 37 and the locking bolt 52 in the opposite direction to drive the fixing ring 54, the connecting block 36, and the bidirectional threaded rod 37 to move in the opposite direction to release the limit on the receiving end 33, the insertion end 34 and the data line 51, and then remove the receiving end 33, the insertion end 34 and the data line 51.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
