A bolt is provided at the top of the specimen 2, and a circular hole 183 is provided at the bottom end of the lower connecting plate 18. The lower clamping unit 3 is inserted into the bottom end of the circular hole 183. The bolt at the bottom end of the specimen 2 passes through the circular hole 183, so that the specimen 2 can be inserted into the bottom end of the lower connecting plate 18. A gasket 20 is sleeved on the outer wall of the upper clamping unit 1. A lock nut 19 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the specimen 2 for locking the specimen 2. An external hexagonal long-stem bolt 15 for positioning the upper connecting plate 13 is inserted at the bottom end of the lower connecting plate 18. The outer wall of the external hexagonal long-stem bolt 15 is sleeved on the upper connecting plate 13 for supporting the stud screw 11.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 8 The lower clamping unit 3 includes a bottom connecting plate 35 for supporting the entire lower clamping unit 3. The inner wall of the bottom connecting plate 35 is slidably connected with a T-nut 34 for supporting the fixing bolt 33. The top end of the T-nut 34 is threadedly connected with a fixing bolt 33 for supporting the outer clamping plate 30. The outer wall of the fixing bolt 33 is slidably connected with the outer clamping plate 30 for supporting the bottom end of the specimen 2. There are multiple groups of T-nuts 34 and fixing bolts 33. The outer wall of another group of fixing bolts 33 is slidably connected with an inner clamping plate 31 for squeezing the bottom end of the specimen 2. The bottom end of the specimen 2 is clamped in the middle position between the outer clamping plate 30 and the inner clamping plate 31.

By setting the cylindrical tube 17, the distance between the upper connecting plate 13 and the lower connecting plate 18 can be limited. The top end of the external hexagonal long rod bolt 15 is threadedly connected with a hexagonal nut 16 for pulling the upper connecting plate 13. By screwing the hexagonal nut 16, the upper connecting plate 13, the lower connecting plate 18 and the cylindrical tube 17 can be driven to fit tightly. The bottom end of the lower connecting plate 18 is installed with a baffle 21 for further increasing the fixing stability.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 The right end of the outer clamping plate 30 is inserted with a clamping bolt 32 for tightening the outer clamping plate 30 and the inner clamping plate 31. The clamping bolt 32 and the inner clamping plate 31 are threadedly connected. The outer clamping plate 30 and the inner clamping plate 31 are driven to move closer by rotating the clamping bolt 32. The top of the locking ring 12 is provided with a through hole 121 for the stud screw 11 to pass through, and the bottom end of the locking ring 12 is provided with a spiral inclined surface 122 for locking the stud screw 11. The outer wall of the locking ring 12 is provided with a circular hole 123 for facilitating the operator to rotate the locking ring 12, and the number is multiple. The locking ring 12 is provided with two groups, and the two groups of locking rings 12 slide on the outer wall of the stud screw 11, and the two groups of locking rings 12 face opposite directions. The working principle of the locking ring 12 is to lock the stud screw 11 by the tension generated by the mutual engagement of the spiral inclined surfaces 122 of the two groups of locking rings 12

[0037] Reference Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8 The top of the upper connecting plate 13 is provided with a second round hole 131 for the stud screw 11 to pass through, the top of the upper connecting plate 13 is provided with a round through hole 132 for the hexagonal long rod bolt 15 to pass through, and the number is multiple groups, the side of the upper connecting plate 13 is provided with a lifting hole 133 for facilitating the lifting of the entire device, the top of the lower connecting plate 18 is provided with a threaded hole 182 for facilitating lifting, the top of the lower connecting plate 18 is provided with a second round through hole 181 for the hexagonal long rod bolt 15 to pass through, and the number is multiple groups.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 8The top of the bottom connecting plate 35 is provided with five round through holes 352 for the passage of fixing bolts 33, and the number is multiple. By tightening the fixing bolts 33, the T-nuts 34 can be pulled to fix the inner splint 31 and the outer splint 30. The top of the bottom connecting plate 35 is provided with a T-slot 351 for accommodating the T-nuts 34, and the top of the outer splint 30 is provided with four round through holes 302 for the passage of fixing bolts 33. The inner splint 31 and the outer splint 30 have the same shape. The right end of the outer splint 30 is provided with three round through holes 301 for the passage of the clamping bolt 32, and the right end of the inner splint 31 is provided with two threaded holes 311 for cooperating with the clamping bolt 32. By tightening the clamping bolt 32, the inner splint 31 and the outer splint 30 can be driven close to each other to fix the specimen 2.

[0039] Working principle: When testing is required, the sample 2 and the upper clamping unit 1 can be connected first. At this time, the bolt at the root of the sample 2 needs to be used to penetrate the lower connecting plate 18, and then the sample 2 can be fixed by the lock nut 2 19 and the gasket 20. Then the stud screw 11 is used to penetrate the upper connecting plate 13, and the lock nut 14 is screwed to the bottom end of the stud screw 11. At this time, the hexagonal long rod bolt 15 can be used to penetrate the upper connecting plate 13 and the lower connecting plate 18, and the cylindrical tube 17 is used to limit the distance between the upper connecting plate 13 and the lower connecting plate 18. By tightening the hexagonal nut 16, the upper connecting plate 13, the cylindrical tube 17, and the lower connecting plate 18 can be driven to fit tightly. Finally, the baffle 21 can be installed to increase the stability of the fixation of the sample 2.

[0040] After the connection between the sample 2 and the upper clamping unit 1 is completed, the connection between the sample 2 and the lower clamping unit 3 can be started. At this time, the bottom end of the sample 2 needs to be inserted into the middle position of the outer clamping plate 30 and the inner clamping plate 31. Then, the outer clamping plate 30 and the inner clamping plate 31 can be driven closer to each other by rotating the clamping bolt 32 to fix the bottom end of the sample 2. When the bottom end of the sample 2 is fixed, the inner clamping plate 31 and the outer clamping plate 30 can be moved left and right to adjust the center position of the two groups of samples 2. When the centers are aligned, the inner clamping plate 31 and the outer clamping plate 30 can be fixed by screwing the fixing bolt 33.

[0041] After the upper clamping unit 1, the specimen 2, and the lower clamping unit 3 are all fixed, the two sets of locking rings 12 can be sleeved on the outer wall of the double-headed screw 11, and the double-headed screw 11 can be connected to the testing device through the external thread at the top of the double-headed screw 11. When the connection is completed, the locking ring 12 can be rotated through the circular hole 123 to increase the tightness of the connection between the double-headed screw 11 and the testing device.

[0042] 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 replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
