[0017] The tension clamp testing device provided in this disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:
[0018] This disclosure provides a tension clamp testing device, comprising a housing, a first rotating shaft, a first rotating arm, an X-ray machine, an imaging plate, a second rotating shaft, a second rotating arm, a geared motor, a conical roller, and a winch. The housing includes a through-hole on its top wall, located on both sides of the housing along its length, with the through-holes on both sides for the passage of ropes from the winches. The first rotating shafts are rotatably mounted on opposite side walls of the housing along its width, and both first rotating shafts can rotate relative to each other. The first rotating arms are respectively mounted on the two first rotating shafts and are located outside the housing, rotating under the drive of the two first rotating shafts. The X-ray machine is mounted on one side of the first rotating arm, and the imaging plate is mounted on the other side of the first rotating arm. The X-ray machine and the imaging plate deflect under the drive of the two first rotating arms. The X-ray machine penetrates the sample to be tested with X-ray rays, then projects an X-ray image onto the imaging plate, thus completing the testing process. The second rotating shafts, along the height of the housing, are respectively installed at two diagonal corners of the top wall of the housing. Each of these two corner shafts can rotate relative to the housing. Second rotating arms are respectively installed on the two corner shafts, both located outside the housing, and rotate under the drive of the two corner shafts.

The ropes of the two winches pass through through holes on both sides, and the hooks of the two winches are located outside the housing. The two first rotating shafts and the two corner second rotating shafts can be controlled to rotate, driving the two first rotating arms and the two second rotating arms to rotate respectively.
[0019] In operation, the ropes on both sides are released, and the hooks on both sides are suspended from the conductor using a drone. Then, the ropes are wound up to suspend the device at a high altitude. Once the ropes are fully wound up, the device is brought close to the conductor. The second rotating shafts at both corners are then driven to rotate, which in turn rotates the second rotating arms at both corners, ultimately moving the two conical rollers above the conductor. The ropes are then released again, and as the device descends, the conductor engages with the two conical rollers. The reduction motors are then activated, causing the two conical rollers to rotate, thus moving the device along the conductor. When the device reaches the tension clamp, the first rotating shafts on both sides are driven to rotate, which in turn rotates the first rotating arms on both sides, moving the X-ray machine and imaging plate to both sides of the tension clamp, ultimately completing the inspection. The entire inspection process eliminates the need for workers to climb to heights, improving safety.

The housing 1 includes a through hole located on its top wall, with the through hole located on both sides of the housing 1 along its length. The through holes on both sides are used for the passage of ropes from the winches 10 on both sides. The first rotating shaft 2 is rotatably inserted through opposite side walls of the housing 1 along its width, and both first rotating shafts 2 can rotate relative to each other. The first rotating arms 3 are respectively installed on the two first rotating shafts 2 and are located outside the housing 1, rotating under the drive of the two first rotating shafts 2. The X-ray machine 4 is installed on one side of the first rotating arm 3, and the imaging plate 5 is installed on the other side of the first rotating arm 3. The X-ray machine 4 and the imaging plate 5 are deflected under the drive of the two first rotating arms 3. X-ray machine 4 penetrates the sample to be tested with X-rays, and then projects an X-ray image onto imaging plate 5, thus completing the detection work. Second rotating shafts 6 are installed diagonally at two opposite corners of the top wall of housing 1 along its height direction, allowing each shaft to rotate relative to housing 1. Second rotating arms 7 are installed on the two corner rotating shafts 6, both located outside housing 1, and rotate under the drive of the two corner rotating shafts 6. Gear motors 8 are installed on the two corner rotating arms 7, with the axes of their rotating ends perpendicular to the axes of the two corner rotating shafts 6, providing driving force to achieve the rotational movement. Conical rollers 9 are installed at the output ends of the two corner gear motors 8, serving as guides.

The first rotating shaft 2 on both sides and the second rotating shaft 6 at both corners can be rotated in a controlled manner to drive the first rotating arm 3 on both sides and the second rotating arm 7 on both sides to rotate.
[0039] This embodiment of the invention provides a tension clamp testing device. After releasing the ropes on both sides, a drone can suspend the hooks on both sides from the conductor. Then, the ropes are wound up, lifting the device into the air. Once the ropes are fully wound up, the device is brought close to the conductor. The two corner second rotating shafts 6 are then driven to rotate, which in turn drives the two corner second rotating arms 7, ultimately moving the two corner conical rollers 9 above the conductor. The ropes are then released again, and as the device moves down, the conductor engages with the two corner conical rollers 9. The reduction motor 8 is then activated, driving the two corner conical rollers 9 to rotate, thus moving the device along the conductor. When the device reaches the tension clamp, the two corner first rotating shafts 2 are driven to rotate, which in turn drives the two corner first rotating arms 3, moving the X-ray machine 4 and imaging plate 5 to both sides of the tension clamp, ultimately completing the testing. The entire testing process eliminates the need for workers to climb to heights, improving safety.
