The utility model discloses a steel wire rope lifting steering mechanism for coating simulation. Motor forward rotating and backward rotating drive a steel wire rope connected onto a rotating wheel and a steering rotating wheel to ascend or descend, after twice 90-degree steering of two steering boxes, the moving direction changes in the opposite direction, and accordingly a sample steel plate is driven to ascend or descend to finish spraying or soaking treatment. The steel wire rope lifting steering mechanism for coating simulation can achieve accurate positioning and effectively reduce labor intensity of experimenters.
