The first right-angle rod 12 has a rotating sleeve 13 rotatably connected to its top. One end of the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 13 is connected to one end of the clamping cylinder 15 via several second right-angle rods 14. The several second right-angle rods 14 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the clamping cylinder 15. The clamping cylinder 15 and the rotating sleeve 13 have a common central axis. The other end of the top plate 3 is equipped with a torsion assembly 16. The bottom of the torsion assembly 16 is connected to the other end of the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 13. The bottom of the lower clamping plate 5 is equipped with a rotating frame 6.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 The inner bottom surface of the rotating frame 6 is equipped with a lifting rod 7, the bottom of the lower clamping plate 5 is provided with a slot 26, and the top of the lifting rod 7 is equipped with a rotating assembly 21. The rotating assembly 21 includes a lifting plate 22 installed at the top of the lifting rod 7 and two support rollers 24 symmetrically and rotatably connected to the top of the lifting plate 22 via a vertical plate 23. A driving member 25 is installed on the outer wall of one of the vertical plates 23. The output end of the driving member 25 is connected to one end of the corresponding support roller 24. The support roller 24 is arranged parallel to the first columnar member.

[0022] Example 2: See Figures 1 to 3 Based on Embodiment 1, third telescopic members 17 are installed on both sides of the clamping cylinder 15. The two third telescopic members 17 extend into the clamping cylinder 15 at their respective close ends and are connected to side clamping plates 18.

In use, the first columnar component is placed on the lower clamping plate 5, and the second columnar component is placed below the pressing block 11. The first telescopic component 8 drives the upper clamping plate 9 to move down to clamp the first columnar component. The second telescopic component 10 drives the pressing block 11 to move down to press the second columnar component, thereby conducting a pressing fatigue test on the weld between the first and second columnar components to relieve fatigue. The upper clamping plate 9 is clamped by the lifting rod 7 driving the support roller 24 to move upward to support the first columnar member. Then, the driving member 25 drives the support roller 24 to rotate, thereby driving the first columnar member to rotate, realizing the adjustment of the pressing position for the pressing fatigue test. After the second columnar member is placed in the clamping cylinder 15, the third telescopic member 17 drives the side clamping plate 18 to move to clamp the second columnar member. The fourth telescopic member 19 repeatedly extends or shortens to drive the rotating sleeve 13 to rotate, thereby driving the clamping cylinder 15 to rotate, thereby twisting the second columnar member, realizing the torsional fatigue test at the connection between the first and second columnar members. The inner circumference of the upper clamping plate 9, the lower clamping plate 5, and the side clamping plate 18 are all provided with anti-slip pads to ensure clamping stability.
