[0028] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, a high-precision tensile and torsional force testing device for power cords includes a test bench 1, an electrical control box 2, and a fixing component 5. The electrical control box 2 and the fixing component 5 are located on the top of the test bench 1. A support base 3 is fixedly installed on the top left side of the test bench 1, and a first fixing block 4 is fixedly connected to the right side of the support base 3.

[0030] Specifically, a fixing component 5 is fixedly connected to the right side of the first fixing block 4. The fixing component 5 includes a base 51, the left side of which is fixedly connected to the right side of the first fixing block 4. A sleeve 52 is fixedly installed on the right side of the base 51, and a tightening port 53 is fixedly connected to the front end of the sleeve 52. A tightening nut 54 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the sleeve 52. The nut-sleeve type fixing component 5 is suitable for power cords of different sizes and specifications. By rotating the tightening nut 54 on the outer surface of the sleeve 52 toward the tightening port 53, the power cord to be tested can be clamped.

[0031] Please see Figure 2As shown, a connecting groove 6 is provided on the top right side of the test bench 1. Scale plates 61 are fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting groove 6. Scale strips 62 are provided on opposite sides of the scale plates 61. The scale strips 62 on the scale plates 61 can be directly read, making the tensile force and torque visible and improving the accuracy of the experimental data. A lead screw 63 is rotatably connected inside the connecting groove 6. The pitch of the lead screw 63 is fixed and precise. Each rotation moves the sliding block 64 a fixed and precise distance. The rotary motor 65 drives the lead screw 63 to rotate, enabling the sliding block 64 to move left and right on the lead screw 63 with high precision. A rotary motor 65 is installed on the right side of the test bench 1. The output end of the rotary motor 65 is fixedly connected to one end of a lead screw 63. A sliding block 64 is threaded onto the surface of the lead screw 63. A connecting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding block 64. A groove 66 is formed on the opposite side of the two scale plates 61. Limit blocks are set on the front and rear sides of the connecting plate 7. The connecting plate 7 is slidably connected to the groove 66 through the limit blocks on both sides. The output end of the rotary motor 65 drives the lead screw 63 to rotate, causing the sliding block 64 to move the connecting plate 7 horizontally along the groove 66 through the limit blocks, thereby causing the power cord to perform a stretching motion. At the same time, the sensor set on the second fixed block 71 on the left side of the connecting plate 7 moves accordingly and works with the scale plate 61 to effectively monitor the stretching distance of the power cord. The second fixed block 71 is fixedly connected to the left side of the connecting plate 7. Sensors are set on the opposite side of the first fixed block 4 and the second fixed block 71. A rotating clamping cylinder 72 is located on the left side of the second fixing block 71. Inside the rotating clamping cylinder 72 is an arc-shaped clamping piece 73. A wire clamp knob 74 is symmetrically arranged along the rotation axis of the rotating clamping cylinder 72, with one end of the knob fixedly connected to the back of the arc-shaped clamping piece 73. Rotating the knob causes the arc-shaped clamping piece 73 to clamp the power cable, ensuring the power cable is securely fixed on the rotation axis of the rotating clamping cylinder 72. A stepper motor 75 is located on the right side of the connecting plate 7. A planetary gear reducer 76 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor 75. The planetary gear reducer 76 can further refine the step angle of the stepper motor 75, making the output speed and torque more easily and precisely controlled within the range of the control box 2, improving the control accuracy of the rotating clamping cylinder 72 and reducing the impact of accumulated step angle errors on the test results. The output end of the planetary gear reducer 76 is fixedly connected to the rotation axis of the rotating clamping cylinder 72. The power generated by the stepper motor 75 is transmitted to the planetary gear reducer 76 connected to it. The planetary gear reducer 76 uses its unique gear structure to reduce the original high speed of the stepper motor 75 by a certain proportion. At the same time, after adjusting the torque accordingly, it drives the rotating clamping cylinder 72 to rotate around the axis, thereby performing torque testing on the power cord.

[0032] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the electrical control box 2 is electrically connected to the stepper motor 75 and the rotary motor 65. The electrical control box 2 also includes a control panel and a power switch. The electrical control box 2 outputs pulse signals and direction signals, and directly connects to the control terminal of the stepper motor 75 via signal lines. The pulse signals control the step angle and number of steps of the stepper motor 75, and the direction signals control the rotation direction of the stepper motor 75, thereby precisely controlling the rotation angle and direction of the stepper motor 75.

[0033] Working Principle: In use, one end of the power cable to be tested is first passed through the fixing assembly 5 and into the rotating clamping cylinder 72. The clamp knob 74 is rotated to clamp the power cable with the arc-shaped clamping plate 73. Next, the tightening nut 54 on the outer surface of the sleeve 52 is rotated towards the tightening opening 53, engaging with the rotating clamping cylinder 72 to clamp and fix the power cable. Then, the power is turned on through the control box 2, and the rotating motor 65 is started. The output of the rotating motor 65 drives the lead screw 63 to rotate, causing the sliding block 64 to move the connecting plate 7 horizontally along the slide groove 66 via the limit block, thereby causing the power cable to undergo tensile motion. Simultaneously, the sensor on the second fixing block 71 on the left side of the connecting plate 7 moves accordingly, effectively monitoring the distance of the power cable's stretch in conjunction with the scale plate 61, thus achieving the tensile test of the power cable. The stepper motor 75 is started by the control box 2. The power generated by the stepper motor 75 is transmitted to the planetary gear reducer 76 connected to it. The planetary gear reducer 76 uses its unique gear structure to reduce the original high speed of the stepper motor 75 by a certain proportion. At the same time, after adjusting the torque accordingly, it drives the rotating clamping cylinder 72 to rotate around the axis. Since the two ends of the power cord are firmly clamped, the power cord bears the corresponding torque as the rotating clamping cylinder 72 rotates, thereby realizing the torque test of the power cord and effectively evaluating the performance of the power cord under tensile and torque conditions.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this utility model.
