Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0029] Referring to Figures 1-6 The present embodiment provides a kind of concrete implementation mode about the test fixture suitable for large size structural piece compression mechanical property, including electric loading cylinder 10, self-calibration ball head 20, ball head fine adjustment structure 30, first flat plate 40, first spring 50, second flat plate 60, the second flat plate 60 quantity is several, array distribution is formed, and each second flat plate 60 is fixed in the bottom end surface of the first flat plate 40 by several first springs 50, the area of second flat plate 60 is less than the area of first flat plate 40, the output end of the electric loading cylinder 10 is installed with self-calibration ball head 20, and the self-calibration ball head 20 is fixed in the top end surface of the first flat plate 40 by ball head fine adjustment structure 30, to reach the mechanical force output by electric loading cylinder 10 is transmitted to second flat plate 60 via first flat plate 40.

[0030] The present application also includes a controller mounted on one side of the electric loading cylinder 10, and the controller is equipped with a full-digital control and data acquisition system.

[0031] The utility model discloses a whole equipment is controlled to move down by full digital control and data acquisition system, makes second flat plate 60 contact the outer surface of large size structural member, considers the force transmission, and the bearing capacity is transmitted in turn from electric loading cylinder 10, self-calibrating ball head 20, ball head fine adjustment structure 30, first flat plate 40, first spring 50, second flat plate 60, relative to the traditional first flat plate 40 direct contact, the utility model discloses a plurality of second flat plate 60 direct contact large structure outer surface, adapt to the outer surface of different shape, to realize that each area of large size flat plate structural member can bear the same load under pressure load, more close to actual use working condition.
