[0032] In an embodiment, the bottom of the force bar 240 is connected to the test slider 201 through a connecting assembly 260; the connecting assembly 260 includes a first connecting block 261 connected to the test slider 201; the top of the first connecting block 261 is fixedly connected with a sleeve 262; the top of the sleeve 262 is provided with a second connecting block 263; the sleeve 262 is provided with a third connecting block 264; the middle part of the third connecting block 264 is outwardly formed with a protrusion 265; a plurality of butterfly springs 266 are arranged between the protrusion 265 and the first connecting block 261 and between the protrusion 265 and the second connecting block 263 and are sleeved on the third connecting block 264; the third connecting block 264 is connected to the force bar 240; the first connecting block 261 and the second connecting block 263 are both provided with a displacement slot 267 allowing the third connecting block 264 to move; through the plurality of butterfly springs 266 arranged in the connecting assembly 260, the force bar 240 can be uniformly loaded when a pressure load or a tensile load is applied.

[0033] The butterfly spring 266 can generate relatively uniform pressure during compression. Compared with some direct load application methods, it can better transmit force to each part of the linear guide rail. For example, when testing the service life of a long-stroke linear guide rail, directly applying concentrated force may cause the local force of the guide rail to be too large, while the elastic deformation of the butterfly spring 266 can make the force uniformly distributed within a certain range, so that the wear of each part of the guide rail is more uniform during the entire test process, more in line with the stress condition of the guide rail in actual working state, and helps to improve the accuracy of test results. When the linear guide rail has machining precision errors or minor deformations during the test process, etc., the butterfly spring 266 can adaptively adjust the distribution of force according to the actual situation of the guide rail surface. Because of the elastic properties of the butterfly spring 266, it can compensate for these unevenness to some extent, ensuring that the guide rail works as close to the ideal stress condition as possible during the test process, avoiding premature failure due to local stress concentration, and thus more realistically simulating the stress environment of the linear guide rail in actual application, prolonging the effective test time of the test device.

[0034] The butterfly spring 266 has good elastic recovery capability and can maintain a relatively stable pre-tightening force during repeated loading and unloading. For the service life test of the linear guide rail, stable pre-tightening force is very important. For example, in a ball linear guide rail, appropriate pre-tightening force can ensure good contact between the ball and the raceway, preventing the ball from sliding during movement. The stable pre-tightening force provided by the butterfly spring 266 helps to maintain stable contact between the moving parts inside the guide rail, thereby more accurately testing the service life of the guide rail 101 under stable stress conditions.

[0035] During the test, external factors can cause the loading force to fluctuate slightly. The elastic buffering effect of the butterfly spring 266 can effectively reduce the influence of these fluctuations on the linear guide rail. For example, when there is slight vibration in the environment where the test device is located or there is some small force fluctuation in the loading system itself, the butterfly spring 266 can absorb these fluctuations, keep the actual force acting on the guide rail relatively stable, reduce the interference of these interference factors on the test result of the guide rail service life, and make the test data more reliable.

[0036] In an embodiment, the bottom of the first connecting block 261 is fixedly connected with a pressure sensor 251; and the pressure sensor 251 is connected with the test sliding block 201 through a fixing block 250.

[0037] In an embodiment, the top of the second connecting block 263 is provided with a guide column 270; the guide column 270 is matched with a guide hole 271 on the connecting seat 230; and the guide column 270 is provided with two.
