[0034] The ingenious design of the first placement groove 41, the first clearance groove 42, the second placement groove 31, and the second clearance groove 32 not only ensures the stability and accuracy of the threaded spikes 10 and the sleeper rails 9 during the testing process, but also greatly simplifies the installation process and improves testing efficiency.

[0035] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the universal joint 6 is connected to a connecting sleeve 61, and a through hole 62 is provided on the side of the connecting sleeve 61. The top of the upper connector 1 is provided with a fixing rod 43 that matches the connecting sleeve 61. The fixing rod 43 is provided with a fixing hole 44. The fixing rod 43 is connected to the connecting sleeve 61 by inserting a fixing pin 7 into the through hole 62 and the fixing hole 44.

[0036] Specifically, the universal joint 6 not only affects the flexibility and adaptability of the fixture, but also directly impacts the accuracy and stability of the test. To further enhance the connection strength and stability between the universal joint 6 and the upper connector 1 and the upper pull head 4, a connecting sleeve 61 is connected to the bottom of the universal joint 6.

[0037] A through hole 62 is provided on the side of the connecting sleeve 61, which not only provides the necessary channel for subsequent fixed connection, but also ensures the convenience and reliability of the connection process. The position and size of the through hole 62 have been precisely calculated and tested to ensure that the fixing pin 7 can be accurately aligned and inserted during the connection process.

[0038] Meanwhile, a fixing rod 43 that perfectly matches the connecting sleeve 61 is provided on the top of the upper connector 1.

The material and dimensions of the retaining pin 7 have undergone rigorous selection and testing to ensure that it meets various requirements during the testing process.

[0040] During connection, first align the connecting sleeve 61 with the fixing rod 43, then insert the fixing pin 7 through the through hole 62 and the fixing hole 44. The insertion of the fixing pin 7 not only achieves a physical connection between the universal joint 6 and the upper connector 1, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the connection through its strong locking force. It is not only simple and quick, but also very secure, ensuring that no loosening or detachment will occur during testing.

[0041] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the pull-down frame 3 includes a fixing plate 33 set on the top of the lower connector 2. Connecting plates 34 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the fixing plate 33 by bolts. A pull plate 35 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting plate 34 by bolts. The second clearance groove 32 is set on the pull plate 35.

[0042] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the lower connector 2 includes a lower connecting rod 21, and a connecting plate 22 is provided on the top of the lower connecting rod 21. The connecting plate 22 is fixedly installed on the fixing plate 33 by bolts.

[0043] Specifically, the pull-down frame 3 is crucial not only for the stable placement of the sleeper rail 9 sample but also directly affects the safety and accuracy of the testing process. The main body of the pull-down frame 3 includes a fixing plate 33 positioned at the top of the lower connector 2. This fixing plate 33 plays a critical role, providing stable support for the connecting plate 34 and securing it to the lower connector 2 via bolts. The material and thickness of the fixing plate 33 have been rigorously selected and calculated to ensure it can withstand the enormous tensile forces during the test without deformation or damage.

[0044] Two connecting plates 34 are bolted to both sides of the top of the fixed plate 33. The design of these connecting plates 34 balances stability and convenience. They not only provide reliable support for the pull plate 35 but also securely connect to it via bolts. The material and dimensions of the connecting plates 34 have been precisely calculated and tested to ensure they meet various requirements during testing.

[0045] A pull plate 35 is also bolted to the top of the connecting plate 34. This pull plate 35 is one of the most critical parts of the pull-down frame 3, not only providing the necessary space for the second clearance slot 32, but also ensuring stability and safety during the test through its robust structure. The pull plate 35 is made of high-strength alloy material to ensure that it can withstand the huge tensile forces during the test without breaking or deforming.

[0046] The lower connector 2 includes a lower connecting rod 21, which plays a crucial role in connection and support. A connecting plate 22 is located at the top of the lower connecting rod 21, and this connecting plate 22 is bolted to the fixing plate 33. The connecting plate 22 not only ensures the connection between the pull-down frame 3 and the lower connector 2, but also ensures stability and safety during testing through its robust structure.

[0047] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, both the upper connector 1 and the lower connector 2 are provided with connection holes 5 for connecting the connectors of the pull-out test device.

[0048] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, a locking nut 8 is fitted onto the lower connecting rod 21.

[0049] Specifically, in the design of the threaded spike pull-out clamp, the connection method and stability of the joint components are crucial. To ensure that the upper joint 1 and the lower joint 2 can be accurately connected to the joint of the pull-out test device, test device joint connection holes 5 are provided on both the upper joint 1 and the lower joint 2 for connection.

[0050] These connection holes 5 ensure that the upper connector 1 and lower connector 2 can perfectly match the connectors of the pull-out test apparatus. This not only improves the stability of the connection but also greatly simplifies the connection process, allowing testers to easily install the fixtures onto the test apparatus and begin testing.

[0051] To ensure the stability and safety of the lower connector 2 during testing, a locking nut 8 is fitted onto the lower connecting rod 21. This locking nut 8 can not only be tightened or loosened by rotation, but also ensures that the lower connector 2 will not loosen or fall off due to tension during testing.

[0052] In actual testing, the testers first connect the upper connector 1 and the lower connector 2 to the connectors of the pull-out test device through the connecting holes 5. Then, they adjust the tightness of the locking nut 8 as needed to ensure the stability and safety of the lower connector 2 during the test. This not only improves the accuracy and reliability of the test but also significantly reduces potential safety risks during the test.

[0053] This invention represents a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but its scope of protection is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this invention, shall be covered within the scope of protection of this invention.
