[0033] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0034] Generally, existing tooling is used. The steel wire rope is selected based on the size of the suspension clamp. After disassembling the tooling, the steel wire rope is installed, its length adjusted, and secured. The suspension clamp to be tested is then placed and secured. Next, 2 to 3 people work together to install the tooling onto the horizontal tensile testing machine. The steel wire rope and hooks are used to connect to the machine's pull head for testing. For testing different models and sizes of suspension clamps, the above process must be repeated, using steel wire ropes of different diameters. If the client requests a rigid connection method for testing, it is necessary to find a partner to assist in completing the test.

[0035] This application provides a suspension clamp mechanical load testing fixture, referencing... Figures 1 to 3 It includes: positioning steel plate 1, horizontal beam 2, vertical force transmission rod 3, support plate 4, hanger connector 5, and hanger 6, wherein:

[0036] The horizontal beam 2 includes two parallel sub-beams 7. Support plates 4 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the two sub-beams 7. The front and rear ends of the support plates 4 are connected to the two sub-beams 7 respectively. A through hole is provided in the center of the support plates 4.

[0037] The positioning steel plate 1 is set at the lower end of the horizontal beam 2. Two positioning bolt holes 8 are opened on the positioning steel plate 1, and the two positioning bolt holes 8 are respectively set on the front and rear sides of the horizontal beam 2.

[0039] The hanger connector 5 is located at the lower end of the vertical force transmission rod 3;

[0040] The two ends of the hanger 6 are respectively connected to two hanger connectors 5.

[0041] Specifically, this fixture replaces the flexible steel cable of the hanger 6 with a rigid steel cable, which means that the required suspension angle is no longer pursued, and the suspension angle of the suspension clamp is changed from a / 2 = 8°~10° to a / 2 = 0° for testing. In addition, to facilitate the installation, use and disassembly of the fixture, the positioning steel plate 1 and the horizontal beam 2 are welded together as a whole, and the vertical force transmission rod 3 and the 62 components of the hanger 6 are each composed of several independent detachable parts. The various components are connected by threads as much as possible, which can simultaneously meet the inspection and testing of multiple types of suspension clamps.

[0042] Specifically, the positioning steel plate 1 is connected to the horizontal beam 2, and the center positions of the positioning steel plate 1 and the horizontal beam 2 are aligned. The line connecting the two positioning bolt holes 8 with a diameter of 20mm forms a 90° angle with the horizontal beam 2.

[0045] In some embodiments, the sub-beam 7 of the horizontal beam 2 is a 14# I-beam with a length of 655mm. During the test, the load borne by the suspension clamp is transferred to the beam of the universal testing machine.

[0046] Specifically, 14# I-beams with a length of 655mm are aligned back to back with a 45mm gap. Four 140mm×100mm steel plates with δ=20mm are placed on the ends of the I-beams, one on the top and one on the bottom. After ensuring that the center holes of the top and bottom plates overlap, they are welded to the I-beams to form a whole, which is the horizontal beam 2.

[0047] In some embodiments, the dimensions of the support plate 4 are: a thickness of 20mm, a length × width of 100mm × 140mm, and a through hole diameter of 38mm at the center of the support plate 4.

[0048] In some embodiments, the vertical force transmission rod 3 has a diameter of 36mm, is made of 42CrMo, and has a length of 790mm. Both ends of the vertical force transmission rod 3 are threaded.

[0049] Specifically, one end of the vertical force transmission rod 3 is machined with a 210mm long standard coarse thread, and the other end is machined with a 50mm fine thread.

[0050] In some embodiments, the upper end of the vertical force transmission rod 3 located above the horizontal beam 2 is fitted with a nut 9, and the lower end of the vertical force transmission rod 3 is threadedly connected to the hanger connector 5.

[0051] In some embodiments, the upper end of the hanger connector 5 is axially threaded, the lower end of the hanger connector 5 is provided with a connecting groove 10, and the two side walls of the connecting groove 10 are vertically provided with first pin holes, and a pin 11 is provided in the first pin holes.

[0052] The hanger connector 5 is connected to the hanger 6 via the pin 11.

[0053] In some embodiments, the hanger connector 5 is a 42CrMo steel bar with a diameter of 100mm and a length of 115mm. The connecting groove 10 has a width of 43.5mm, a depth of 65mm, and a pin hole diameter of 25.5mm. The upper end of the hanger connector 5 is machined with a fine-tooth internal thread at the axial center to match the thread at the lower end of the vertical force-bearing rod.

[0054] In some embodiments, the pin 11 is 120mm long and 25mm in diameter.

[0055] In some embodiments, the long side of the upper end of the hanger 6 is set as an arc surface with a diameter consistent with the thickness of the hanger 6, and the two ends of the hanger 6 are respectively provided with second pin holes along the width direction.

[0056] Specifically, the second pin hole with a diameter of φ25mm and a hole spacing of 550mm, located 55mm from the arc surface, is used to connect the hanger 6 and the hanger connector 5 by passing the pin shaft 11 through the first pin hole and the second pin hole.
