The invention discloses a device and a method for testing anti-bending and anti-torsion characteristics of textiles. To-be-tested textiles do corresponding deformations under the effects of differentexternal force, when external force vertically and horizontally acts on the textile surface, the textiles produce bending deformation and torsional deformation, the deformation process is a dynamic change process, and different dynamic change characteristics are reflected along with changes of action time and acting force. By virtue of movements in the vertical and horizontal directions of a testing platform, two dynamic change processes of the textiles, such as bending and torsion, can be realized. Meanwhile, torsion and bending test assemblies are arranged in the horizontal and vertical directions of textile testing parts respectively, and pressure and tension curves varying along with time under the actions of bending force and torsional force of the textiles, so that comprehensive testof the anti-bending and anti-torsion characteristics of the textiles can be realized and is used for evaluating the anti-bending and anti-torsion characteristics of the textiles. According to the device and method disclosed by the invention, five characteristic indexes such as the maximum anti-bending load, decreased bending power, increased bending power, the maximum torsional load and torsionalwork can be simultaneously measured.
