Among them, the measuring claw 1 is a wedge-shaped block, the bottom of the measuring claw 1 has a boss clamping jaw for clamping the upper edge of the inner clamping spring groove, and the measuring claws 1 are arranged in a circular array on the outside of the core block 11.
[0032] The displacement sensor bracket 5 is arranged on the upper side of the core block 11 and is fixedly connected with the core block 11 through bolts, and the displacement sensor 8 is installed on the displacement sensor bracket 5 and is fixedly installed through the sensor fixing piece 14. In addition, the probe of the displacement sensor 8 penetrates through the core block 11 and is connected with the upper end of the measuring base 12, and when the measuring base 12 moves downward, the displacement sensor 8 can measure the moving distance of the measuring base 12, thereby achieving the purpose of measuring the width of the inner clamping spring groove.
[0033] The sliding sleeve 4 is sleeved on the outside of the core block 11 for sleeving the core block 11 and the upper part of the measuring claw 1, and a plurality of sliding sleeve springs 10 are arranged between the sliding sleeve 4 and the core block 11, and the measuring claw 1 is closely attached to the sliding sleeve 4 through the action of the measuring claw spring 2 and the sliding sleeve spring 10.
