[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a rotating rod is connected to the center of the top of the gear.
[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the turbine overhaul scraper of this invention allows for gear rotation controlled by turning a knob. This gear drives two sets of racks to move laterally in the same or opposite directions, thereby adjusting the outward extension distance of the scraper blades on both sides. After adjustment, the limiting cover is fastened, and the fixing rod is inserted into the corresponding limiting hole for fixation. Ultimately, the distance between the scraper blades on both sides can be easily adjusted to accommodate operation on steam seal tooth grooves of different widths. Furthermore, during in-depth overhauls when lighting is insufficient, a lighting fixture can be turned on to provide illumination, facilitating observation by maintenance workers and improving operational accuracy.

[0022] To further understand the present invention, embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with examples. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are only for further illustrating the features and advantages of the present invention, and not for limiting the present invention.
[0023] An embodiment of the present invention discloses a scraper for turbine maintenance, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes a scraper housing 1, a blade adjustment mechanism 2 is provided inside the scraper housing 1, and a scraper handle 3 is connected to the front of the scraper housing 1;
[0024] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The blade adjustment mechanism 2 includes a gear 201 rotatably connected to the center of the inside of the scraper housing 1. A rack 202 is meshed with the inside of the scraper housing 1 and on both the front and rear sides of the gear 201. A scraper blade 203 is installed on the outside of the rack 202. The top of the gear 201 has four sets of limiting holes 204 arranged in a matrix. A rotating rod 205 is connected to the center of the top of the gear 201. A knob 206 is connected to one end of the rotating rod 205 that passes through the top of the scraper housing 1. A limiting cover 207 is slidably connected to the outside of the rotating rod 205 and the top of the scraper housing 1. A fixing rod 208 that cooperates with the limiting hole 204 is symmetrically arranged on the bottom of the limiting cover 207.
[0025] The scraper housing 1 has rectangular slots on both the left and right sides along its length for the scraper blade 203 to extend out, facilitating the smooth movement of the scraper blade 203. The top of the scraper housing 1 has through holes at the positions corresponding to the rotating rod 205 and the fixed insertion rod 208. The limiting hole 204 and the fixed insertion rod 208 are designed with a plug-in structure. Inserting the fixed insertion rod 208 into the limiting hole 204 at the corresponding position can fix the gear 201.
[0026] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The middle section of the scraper handle 3 is connected to a connecting rod 301.
