A through hole is provided on the top side wall of the top rod 102, and an inner shaft 2 is fixedly connected in the through hole. Among them, it should be added that the direction of the inner shaft 2 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the through hole. The inner shaft 2 is connected with a rotating head 201 through a bearing 203. Refer to Figure 4 As shown, the bearing 203 is arranged between the inner shaft 2 and the rotating head 201 to reduce the resistance of the rotating head 201 during rotation. Side rods 202 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the rotating head 201. Refer to Figure 2As shown, it should be noted that a counterweight 3 is slidably connected to the side rod 202 on one side of the rotating head 201. Among them, the counterweight 3 can be fixed on the side rod 202. A slider 4 is slidably connected to the side rod 202 on the other side of the rotating head 201. Among them, the slider 4 can be fixed on the side rod 202. The bottom end of the slider 4 is fixedly connected with a top hook 401. The device further includes a chain 402 suspended on the top hook 401. The bottom end of the chain 402 is provided with a connecting rod 403, and the connecting rod 403 is used to connect the extensometer 5. It should be noted that the bottom end of the connecting rod 403 can be fixedly connected to the top surface of the extensometer 5 through glue.

[0030] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an internal threaded hole 301 is formed in the counterweight 3. The counterweight 3 is threadedly connected and fixed to the side rod 202 through the second fastening bolt 302. When using this device, after adjusting the position of the counterweight 3, the second fastening bolt 302 can be rotated to make it abut against the side rod 202, so that the position of the counterweight 3 on the side rod 202 is fixed.

[0031] Refer to Figure 4 As shown, a threaded through-hole is formed in the slider 4. The slider 4 is threadedly connected and fixed to the side rod 202 through the threaded through-hole. When using this device, after adjusting the position of the slider 4, the third fastening bolt 404 can be tightened to make it abut against the side rod 202, so that the position of the slider 4 on the side rod 202 is fixed.

[0032] Refer to Figure 4 As shown, limit screws 204 are provided at the ports of the side rod 202 far from the rotating head 201, which are used to limit the counterweight 3 or the slider 4 from sliding out of the side rod 202.

[0033] Through the setting of the bearing 203, the resistance of the rotating head 201 to rotate is greatly reduced, which greatly improves the sensitivity of this device, so as to better maintain the accuracy of the extensometer 5 during the measurement process.

[0034] Through the settings of the top rod 102, the rotating head 201, the side rod 202, etc., the lever principle is utilized to eliminate the eccentric load of the gravity of the extensometer 5 on the thin plate sample. At the same time, through the setting of the chain 402, when there is an eccentric load caused by horizontal deviation in the connection between the extensometer 5 and the thin plate sample, the chain 402 will tilt, and then the side rod 202 will tilt, so as to timely adjust the connection between the extensometer 5 and the thin plate sample, ensure the measurement accuracy, greatly improve the anti-eccentric load effect of this device, and the structure setting is simple and easy to operate.

[0035] Working principle: When using this device, first apply adhesive to the bottom surface of the connecting rod 403, then press the bottom surface of the connecting rod 403 against the middle of the top surface of the extensometer 5, so that the connecting rod 403 and the extensometer 5 are fixedly connected. Then, fix the bottom plate 1 beside the thin plate sample by passing bolts through the connecting holes opened thereon according to the position of the thin plate sample to be measured by the extensometer 5. Hang the chain 402 on the top hook 401, and then adjust the height of the top rod 102 according to the position and height of the thin plate sample. When adjusting the height of the top rod 102, only need to loosen the first fastening bolt 103 so that the first fastening bolt 103 disengages from the threaded hole 105. After adjusting the height of the top rod 102, then pass the first fastening bolt 103 through the long narrow opening 104 and thread it with the threaded hole 105 to fix the position of the top rod 102. After the height of the top rod 102 is adjusted, push the slider 4 so that the slider 4 slides on the side rod 202. Move the part of the extensometer 5 in contact with the thin plate sample behind the thin plate sample, and then tighten the third fastening bolt 404 so that the third fastening bolt 404 abuts against the side rod 202, thereby fixing the slider 4 at this position on the side rod 202. At this time, push the counterweight 3 to slide on the side rod 202 until the side rod 202 is in a horizontal state, and tighten the second fastening bolt 302 so that the second fastening bolt 302 abuts against the side rod 202, thereby fixing the counterweight 3 at this position on the side rod 202. At this time, the extensometer 5 can be connected to the thin plate sample for measurement. During the measurement process, if the side rod 202 is inclined, it means that the extensometer 5 exerts pressure or tension on the thin plate sample, and the connection between the extensometer 5 and the thin plate sample needs to be readjusted.
