The clamping crossbar also maintains the balance of the cookware during the testing process, ensuring that the force on both sides of the handles is even, thus improving applicability and practicality.

[0038] Example 3:

[0039] The double-ear clamp 32 also includes a clamping device composed of clamping guide rods 324, clamping blocks 325, and locking nuts 326; clamping guide rods 324 are bolted to both ends of the bottom of the adjusting seat 322, and clamping blocks 325 are slidably sleeved between the two clamping guide rods 324; locking nuts 326 are threaded to the bottom ends of the clamping guide rods 324; this realizes the function of clamping and fixing the two handles of the double-handled cookware, improving the stability of the cookware during testing; the distance between the two clamping devices can be adjusted by the cooperation of the clamping crossbar, adjusting seat, and adjusting groove, realizing the handle fatigue testing of cookware of different diameters; the clamping crossbar can also maintain the balance of the cookware during testing, so that the force on both sides of the handles of the cookware is even, improving applicability and practicality.

[0040] Working principle: Before the actual test, the staff can use any of the clamping mechanisms provided in Examples 1-3 to fix the handle of the pot to be tested. The pot is filled with filler with a weight of L×1.5. The pot handle is hung or clamped and fixed on the clamping mechanism. The lifting drive component drives the lifting seat component to drive the clamping mechanism to slide and lift back and forth. During this process, when the pot is lowered, the bottom of the pot will touch the top surface of the machine body and apply pressure to the pot handle until the pot handle breaks and the pot falls onto the rubber plate. The drop detector senses the pot falling and feeds back to the control console in real time. The control console can then issue a command to stop the test and issue a prompt sound to remind the staff to check and archive the test data.
