[0036] A sliding slot 11 which is parallel to the axis of the disk 3 is disposed on the base 1. A fixed blot passes through the sliding slot 11 to connect with the lower portion of the supporting plate 2. When the fixed bolt is loosened, and the two supporting plates 2 are movable in the direction parallel to the axis of the disk 3 with respect to the base 1.

[0037] An upper bearing plate 5, a lower bearing plate 6 and a side bearing plate 7 are respectively fixed on the plurality of connecting rods 4. The side bearing plate 7 is located at one side of the upper bearing plate 5 and the lower bearing plate 6. The upper bearing plate 5 is provided with a through groove 51 through which a nail/screw can pass.

[0038] A plurality of trapezoid bolts 31 are disposed along the same circumference in each disk 3, and a trapezoid slot 21 which is concentric circle with the disk 3 is provided at an internal side of each supporting plate 2. When the disk 3 is turned, at least one trapezoid bolt 31 is stretch into the trapezoid slot 21; when the at least one trapezoid bolt 31 engages with the trapezoid slot 21 and then is tightened up, the at least one trapezoid bolt 31 and the trapezoid slot 21 cooperatively limit the turn of the disk 3.

[0039] Reference is made to FIG. 4 to FIG. 7. A penetrating guiding apparatus 8 includes a left bottom plate 81 disposed on the upper bearing plate 5, a left guiding plate 85 rotatably connected with the left bottom plate 81 through a left turning shaft 83, a right guiding plate 86 rotatably connected with a right bottom plate 82 through a right turning shaft 84, in which the left turning shaft 83 and the right turning shaft 84 are parallel to each other and the left guiding plate 85 and the right guiding plate 86 are relative to each other. A nailing groove, which is formed by a left nailing groove 87 and a right nailing groove 88, is formed on a relative surface of the left guiding plate 85 and the right guiding plate 86. The nailing groove is communicated with a through groove 51.

[0040] A positioning platform 89 protruding downwards is provided at the bottom of the left bottom plate 81, and the positioning platform 89 cooperates with a positioning groove 52 disposed on the upper bearing plate 5 to prevent the left bottom plate 81 from moving in all-around direction with respect to the upper bearing plate 5. The positioning platform 89 can be pulled out of the positioning groove 52. A lower protrusion 90 protruding downwards is provided at the bottom of the right bottom plate 82, and the lower protrusion 90 is slidably cooperated with a guiding groove 53 disposed on the upper bearing plate 5 in a direction vertical to the right turning shaft 84. A side protrusion 92 extending forwards and backwards is respectively disposed at the front and rear sides of the right bottom plate 82, and the side protrusion 92 is slidably cooperated with a guiding sliding track 91 disposed on the left bottom plate 81 in a direction vertical to the right turning shaft 84.

[0041] A position giving slot 93, which extends in a direction vertical to the left turning shaft 83, is disposed on the left guiding plate 85. A connecting bolt 94, which passes through the position giving slot 93, is connected with the right guiding plate 86 through screw threads. When turning the connecting bolt 94, the left guiding plate 85 and the right guiding plate 86 are turned to be parallel to each other and the right bottom plate 82 is pushed to move with respect to the left bottom plate 81 to change a distance between the left guiding plate 85 and the right guiding plate 86 which are relative and parallel to each other, so as to change a gap between the bottom surface of the left nailing groove 87 and the bottom surface of the right nailing groove 88.

[0042] The front and rear sides of an upper portion of the left nailing groove 87 are inclined planes and the width of the upper portion of the left nailing groove 87 is wide at top and narrow at bottom in the front-and-rear direction. A left front sliding block 95 and a left rear sliding block 97 are oppositely and slidably disposed at the front and rear sides of the left nailing groove 87. A left front sliding slot 99 and a left rear sliding slot 101 which are parallel to the front and rear sides of the left nailing groove 87 are disposed on the left guiding plate 85. The right nailing groove 88, a right front sliding block 96, a right rear sliding block 98, a right front sliding slot 100 and a right rear sliding slot 102 are respectively symmetrical to the left nailing groove 87, the left front sliding block 95, the left rear sliding block 97, the left front sliding slot 99 and the left rear sliding slot 101. For sake of brevity, the details are omitted.

[0043] A front sliding rod 103 passes through the left front sliding block 95, the right front sliding block 96, the left front sliding slot 99, the right front sliding slot 100, a left side fore-and-aft gap controlling plate 105, and a right side fore-and-aft gap controlling plate 106. A rear sliding rod 104 passes through the left rear sliding block 97, the right rear sliding block 98, the left rear sliding slot 101 and the right rear sliding slot 102, and passes through a lateral guiding slot 200 between the left side fore-and-aft gap controlling plate 105 and the right side fore-and-aft gap controlling plate 106, in which the lateral guiding slot 200 parallelly extends along the axis of the left turning shaft 83. When the front sliding rod 103 slides in the left front sliding slot 99 and the right front sliding slot 100, the left front sliding block 95 and the right front sliding block 96 are driven to respectively move along the front side of the upper portion of the left nailing groove 87 and the front side of the upper portion of the right nailing groove 88. When the rear sliding rod 104 slides in the left rear sliding slot 101 and the right rear sliding slot 102 and slides in the lateral guiding slot 200 simultaneously, the left rear sliding block 97 and the right rear sliding block 98 are driven to move along the rear side of the upper portion of the left nailing groove 87 and the rear side of the upper portion of the right nailing groove 88. Because the front and rear sides of the upper portion of the left nailing groove 87 and the front and rear sides of the upper portion of the right nailing groove 88 are all inclined planes, when the left front sliding block 95 and the right front sliding block 96 respectively move along the front side of the upper portion of the left nailing groove 87 and the front side of the upper portion of the right nailing groove 88 and the left rear sliding block 97 and the right rear sliding block 98 respectively move along the rear side of the upper portion of the left nailing groove 87 and the rear side of the upper portion of the right nailing groove 88, the gap between the left front sliding block 95 and the left rear sliding block 97 and the gap between the right front sliding block 96 and the right rear sliding block 98 both change.

[0044] A turning angle fixed plate 201, which is vertical to the left turning shaft 83, is fixed on the left bottom plate 81, and the turning angle fixed plate 201 has graduation reflecting the turning angle of the left guiding plate 85. An arc-shaped turning guiding slot 202, which is coaxial with the left turning shaft 83, is disposed on the turning angle fixed plate 201. A turning angle adjusting bolt 203 passes through the turning guiding slot 202 to connect to the left guiding plate 85. When the turning angle adjusting blot 203 is loosened, the left guiding plate 85 moves along the left turning shaft 83.

[0045] Reference is made to FIG. 8 to FIG. 10. When penetrating a nail/screw 300 into a test piece 400, the test piece 400 such as wood is placed between the upper bearing plate 5 and the lower bearing plate 6, and the lower surface of the test piece 400 is in contact with the lower bearing plate 6. The trapezoid bolt 31 is tightened up to fix the disk 3 and the test piece 400, and the lower bearing plate 6 can bear the test piece 400 stably. Because the device provided by the present disclosure is disposed with the penetrating guiding apparatus 8, when penetrating, the disk 3 can be turned to any angle as long as an action force can be applied to the nail/screw 300. The penetrating process is as follows. The left guiding plate 85 is turned (overturned) by taking the left turning shaft 83 as the center to a desired angle, the turning angle adjusting bolt 203 is tightened up to avoid the left guiding plate 85 turning, then the right guiding plate 86 is turned (overturned) by taking the right turning shaft 84 as the center to an angle parallel to the left guiding plate 85; in the meantime, the connecting blot 94 is turned, the right bottom plate 82 moves with respect to the left bottom plate 81 to change the distance between the left guiding plate 85 and the right guiding plate 86 to enable the gap between the bottom surface of the left nailing groove 87 of the left guiding plate 85 and the bottom surface of the right nailing groove 88 of the right guiding plate 86 to be substantially the same as the diameter of the nail/screw 300; the front sliding rod 103 is adjusted to move in the left front sliding slot 99 and the right front sliding slot 100 to change the position of the left front sliding block 95 and the right front sliding block 96; in the meanwhile, the rear sliding rod 104 is adjusted to move in the left rear sliding slot 101, the right rear sliding slot 102 and the lateral guiding slot 200 to change the position of the left rear sliding block 97 and the right rear sliding block 98; because the left front sliding block 95, the right front sliding block 96, the left rear sliding block 97 and the right rear sliding block 98 are respectively disposed on the inclined front and rear sides of the left nailing groove 87 and the inclined front and rear sides of the right nailing groove 88, when the upper-and-lower position of the sliding blocks changes, the gap between the left front sliding block 95 and the left rear sliding block 97 and the gap between the right front sliding block 96 and the right rear sliding block 98 both change. When the gap is adjusted to be substantially the same as the diameter of the nail/screw 300, the nail/screw 300 passes through the gap between the left front sliding block 95 and the left rear sliding block 97 or passes through the gap between the right front sliding block 96 and the right rear sliding block 98; in the meanwhile, the nail/screw 300 passes through the gap between the bottom surface of the left nailing groove 87 of the left guiding plate 85 and the bottom surface of the right nailing groove 88 of the right guiding plate 86, and then passes through the through groove 51 disposed on the upper bearing plate 5 to be penetrated to the test piece 400 placed on the lower bearing plate 6. By means of the manner, when penetrating the nail/screw 300 into the test piece 400, the nail/screw 300 is guided by the bottom surface of the left nailing groove 87 of the left guiding plate 85 and the bottom surface of the right nailing groove 88 in the left-and-right direction, and is guided by the left front sliding block 95 and the left rear sliding block 97 or by the right front sliding block 96 and the right rear sliding block 98 in the front-and-rear direction, so that the penetrating process can be performed more accurately to ensure the penetrating directionality.

[0046] Reference is made to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11. When testing the nail/screw holding power applied to a test piece, for the purpose of convenience in operation, the penetrating guiding apparatus 8 is detached. When detaching the penetrating guiding apparatus 8, the penetrating guiding apparatus 8 is pulled upwards to separate the positioning platform 89 disposed on the left bottom plate 81 and the lower protrusion 90 disposed on the right bottom plate 82 from the positioning groove 52 and the guiding groove 53 disposed on the upper bearing plate 5. Alternatively, if a user intends keeping the penetrating guiding apparatus 8, the distance between the left guiding plate 85 and the right guiding plate 86 is enlarged, so that the nail/screw needed to be pulled out merely passes through the left guiding plate 85 and the right guiding plate 86 without contacting the left guiding plate 85 and the right guiding plate 86 or other components.

[0047] When pulling out the nail/screw, the upper surface of the test piece on which the nail/screw has been penetrated is in contact with the lower surface of the upper bearing plate 5, the nail/screw passes through the through groove 51 disposed on the upper bearing plate 5, and then the disk 3 is turned until the nail/screw on the test piece is in a vertically upward direction; the side of the test piece at which no nail/screw is penetrated is in contact with the side bearing plate 7, and the upper bearing plate 5 and the side bearing plate 7 together bear the test piece stably. After that, the trapezoid bolt 31 is tightened up to avoid the disk 3 and the test piece turning, so that the nail/screw can be pulled out upwards. As a result, the test device of universal nail/screw holding power provided by the present disclosure is capable of testing the nail/screw holding power of a nail/screw being penetrated at any angle. In addition, the present disclosure is simple in structure and convenient to use.

[0048] The above-mentioned descriptions represent merely the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, without any intention to limit the scope of the present disclosure thereto. Various equivalent changes, alterations or modifications based on the claims of the present disclosure are all consequently viewed as being embraced by the scope of the present disclosure.
