Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to testing equipment, and more particularly to a device for testing the stiffness of subway handrails. Background Technology

[0002] The design goals of subway handrails include providing robust support and ensuring passenger safety and comfort while walking in the carriage. Handrails need to be able to withstand the weight of passengers and provide stable support, while ensuring comfort and safety during use. During high-speed subway travel, if handrails detach or fasteners loosen, it could cause safety accidents and significant losses for passengers. Therefore, the development of stiffness testing technology is crucial to ensuring passenger safety and comfort. Patent document CN208736667U discloses a handrail testing device, which includes a support platform, a pressure application unit, and a drive unit. The support platform is used to place the handrail to be tested. The drive unit is fixed on the support platform and includes a lifting motor, a lead screw, and a guide rail. The lifting motor moves up and down along the lead screw to drive the pressure application unit to move up and down along the guide rail. The pressure application unit includes a bracket, a fixed handle, a cylinder, a sensor, and a handrail loading module. One end of the bracket is connected to the drive unit and moves up and down along the guide rail; the other end is connected to the fixed handle. The fixed handle applies force to the handrail loading device through the cylinder, applying force to the handrail to be tested. This force is fed back to the device through the sensor. However, this testing device is incompatible with the structure of subway handrails, has low integration, requires auxiliary accessories during testing, has low testing efficiency, and is prone to equipment errors, resulting in unreliable results. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize its structure to overcome these shortcomings. Utility Model Content
