The test is started, water is passed through the bellows through the water inlet assembly 222, and the tensioning mechanism is started and stops according to the set vertical tension to reach the preset value. The lifting mechanism 3 drives the torsion clamp 2 to realize the up and down swing test, and the torsion clamp 2 drives the first rotating tube 22 and the bellows to torsion test synchronously. In this way, automatic vibration, automatic rotation, and straightening tests are realized.

[0029] In order to ensure the stability of the lifting mechanism 3 and the torsion clamp 2 thereon in moving on the guide rail 11, at least two guide rails 11 are further provided on the frame 1 to improve the smoothness of the lifting mechanism 3 sliding on the guide rail 11 and balance the bearing capacity of the lifting mechanism 3 on the torsion clamp 2.
