The bulkhead (3) is located between the diesel engine main shaft flange circle (2) and the generator main shaft flange circle (4). The bulkhead (3) has several process holes (31). The laser tracker (7) collects the measurement points of the tracker target ball (8) on the diesel engine main shaft flange circle (2) and the generator main shaft flange circle (4) through the tracker target ball (8). The tracker target ball (8) is used to guide light through the process holes (31) of the bulkhead (3).

8. The device for measuring the shaft alignment of a diesel generator unit blocked by a bulkhead using a laser tracker according to claim 7, characterized in that: It also includes a computer (6), which is electrically connected to the laser tracker (7). The computer (6) is equipped with calibration software and data acquisition and processing software. The calibration software guides the target ball of the tracker to the calibration point of the calibration tripod and executes the calibration operation program. The data acquisition and processing software processes and analyzes the data of each measurement point on the flange circle of the two main shafts of the diesel generator unit to obtain the shaft center coordinate deviation, the included angle of the shaft center line and the distance between the flange circles of the two main shafts, etc., and the shaft alignment result data.
