This pressure is transmitted to the bottom of the square tube. The tension is read by the tension sensor 33, and the tension curve is displayed on the computer 3, which reflects the strength status of the wire rope.

[0028] Example 3:

[0029] Please see Figure 1-4This is the third embodiment of the present invention, based on the above two embodiments. In use, the two ends of the steel wire rope sample to be tested are passed through the clamping openings 72 of the two clamping structures 7, respectively, and clamped and fixed using the gripper cylinders 75. Then, the third servo reduction motor 30 starts, driving the moving beam 8 upward to apply tension to the steel wire rope. The tension is read by the tension sensor 33, and the tension curve is displayed on the computer 3, reflecting the strength state of the steel wire rope. Next, the second servo reduction motor 20 drives the two friction wheels 14 to move and clamp the steel wire rope. Then, the gripper cylinders 75 on the two clamping structures 7 release the steel wire rope, and the two first servo reduction motors 15 drive the two friction wheels 14 to rotate, moving the steel wire rope... The rope moves vertically and stops at the desired position. Depending on whether the wire rope moves upward or downward, and according to the clamping position below the local test area, the moving beam 8 moves accordingly, causing the end of the other section of the wire rope to be tested to move to the lower clamping structure 7. Then, the two clamping structures 7 clamp the wire rope to perform strength tests on different local positions of the wire rope. This utility model uses two friction wheels 14 to clamp the wire rope. The rotation of the two friction wheels 14 can drive the wire rope to move and change its position. In actual use, after the two clamping structures 7 release the wire rope, the position of the wire rope can be changed by using the friction wheels 14 to perform strength tests on different local positions of the wire rope, making it more convenient and practical. During testing, the wire rope above the friction wheels can be stored on the top or side using other auxiliary tools, while the wire rope below the lower clamp is located inside the square tube, but the bottom of the wire rope should not touch the tension sensor.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
