Example three:

[0055] The difference from the above-mentioned examples is that, please refer to Figure 3 - Figure 6The internal measuring mechanism 4 comprises a central fixed rod 41 fixedly installed in the interior of the device body 1, a horizontal support block 42 fixedly installed outside the central fixed rod 41, a fixed rod gear 43 rotatably installed outside the central fixed rod 41, an internal adjusting sliding groove 44 formed in the interior of the horizontal support block 42, an internal expansion slot 45 slidably installed on the top of the horizontal support block 42, an expansion slot spring 46 installed in the interior of the adjusting sliding groove 44, an internal detection sliding block 47 slidably installed in the interior of the internal expansion slot 45, an internal detection head 48 fixedly installed on the top of the internal detection sliding block 47, an internal transmission connecting chain 49 fixedly connected to one side of the internal detection sliding block 47, a vertical lifting sleeve 410 fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal support block 42, an internal transmission screw 411 rotatably installed on the top of the central fixed rod 41, and a screw gear 412 fixedly installed outside the internal transmission screw 411.

[0061] When the shell carrying turntable 35 is positively rotated, the screw gear 412 can be driven to rotate positively by the central transmission gear 37 and the fixed rod gear 43, when the screw gear 412 rotates positively, the internal transmission screw rod 411 can be driven to rotate positively at the top of the central fixed rod 41, when the internal transmission screw rod 411 rotates positively, the internal transmission clamping block 413 can be driven to move upwards inside the vertical lifting sleeve 410, when the internal transmission clamping block 413 moves upwards, the internal detection slider 47 can be pulled from the initial position to move along the internal expansion slot 45, the horizontal support block 42 and the vertical lifting sleeve 410 by the internal transmission connecting chain 49 (the internal transmission connecting chain 49 is a chain link, chain structure and three-dimensional flexible actuator chain structure of Chinese patent CN110742776B), during the movement process, the internal detection slider 47 first moves horizontally along the horizontal support block 42, and when the internal detection slider 47 moves, the expansion slot spring 46 drives the internal expansion slot 45 to move towards the horizontal support block 42, then the internal detection slider 47 moves vertically upwards along the vertical lifting sleeve 410 after passing through the curved part of the horizontal support block 42, the internal detection slider 47 cooperates with the external measuring mechanism 5 to measure the thickness of the turbine engine shell during the movement, after the detection is completed, the shell carrying turntable 35 is reversely rotated, when the shell carrying turntable 35 reversely rotates, the internal transmission screw rod 411 can be driven to reversely rotate, when the internal transmission screw rod 411 reversely rotates, the internal transmission clamping block 413 can be driven to move downwards inside the vertical lifting sleeve 410, when the internal transmission clamping block 413 moves downwards, the internal detection slider 47 can be driven to move along the vertical lifting sleeve 410, the horizontal support block 42 and the internal expansion slot 45 by the internal transmission connecting chain 49, when the internal detection slider 47 moves to the edge of the internal expansion slot 45, continuing to move can drive the internal expansion slot 45 to move away from the horizontal support block 42 and make the expansion slot spring 46 contract, the internal detection slider 47 returns to the initial position, when the shell carrying turntable 35 drives the turbine engine shell to rotate, it can also drive the internal detection slider 47 to move and cooperate with the external measuring mechanism 5 to detect, and during the movement of the internal detection slider 47, it can automatically turn, so that the turbine engine shell in different directions can be comprehensively detected. Example four:

[0062] The difference from the above-mentioned embodiments is that, please refer to Figure 7 - Figure 10The external measuring mechanism 5 comprises a transmission turntable 51 and an external support seat 52. The transmission turntable 51 is rotatably installed on the top of the device body 1. The external support seat 52 is fixedly installed on the top of the device body 1. The top of the transmission turntable 51 is fixedly connected with an external transmission screw 53. The top of an external transmission clamping block 54 is fixedly connected with an external transmission connecting chain 55. The top of the external support seat 52 is movably installed with an external support block 56. The internal part of the external support block 56 is installed with an external expansion slot spring 57. The external support block 56 is slidably installed with an external expansion sliding slot 58. The internal part of the external expansion sliding slot 58 is slidably installed with an external detection sliding block 59. The external detection sliding block 59 is externally installed with a vertical detection head 510 and a horizontal detection head 511. The top of the external support seat 52 is provided with a limiting clamping groove 512. The external support block 56 is slidably installed with a protective sleeve 513.

[0063] The bottom of the external transmission screw 53 is fixedly connected with the top of the transmission turntable 51 through the external support seat 52.

[0064] The internal part of the external support block 56 is provided with a sliding slot matched with the external contour of the external transmission clamping block 54. The external support block 56 is rotatably installed in the limiting clamping groove 512 through the external transmission clamping block 54.

[0065] The external part of the transmission turntable 51 is in transmission connection with the external part of the shell bearing turntable 35.

[0066] The external expansion sliding slot 58 and the external support block 56 are slidably connected through the external expansion slot spring 57. The vertical detection head 510 and the horizontal detection head 511 are slidably connected with the external expansion sliding slot 58 through the external detection sliding block 59.

[0067] The protective sleeve 513 is sleeved on the external part of the external support block 56. The one side of the protective sleeve 513 is provided with an opening. The internal contour of the protective sleeve 513 is matched with the external part of the external support block 56.

[0068] When the shell carrying turntable 35 is positively rotated, the external transmission screw rod 53 can be driven to rotate positively by the transmission turntable 51. When the external transmission screw rod 53 is positively rotated, the external transmission block 54 is first driven to rotate, thereby driving the external supporting block 56 and the protective sleeve 513 to rotate. When the external supporting block 56 rotates, it can drive the external expansion chute 58 to rotate above the internal expansion groove 45. After the external expansion chute 58 rotates above the internal expansion groove 45, the external supporting block 56 cannot continue to rotate under the limitation of the limiting slot 512. At this time, the external transmission screw rod 53 continues to positively rotate, which can drive the external transmission block 54 to move upward inside the external supporting block 56. When the external transmission block 54 moves upward, it can drive the external detection slider 59 to move from the initial position to the direction of the internal measuring mechanism 4 through the external transmission connecting chain 55 (the external transmission connecting chain 55 is a chain structure in a flexible actuator chain, a chain structure for a flexible actuator, and a three-dimensional flexible actuator, which is a Chinese patent CN110742776B). When the external detection slider 59 moves to the edge of the external expansion chute 58 and continues to move, it can drive the external expansion chute 58 to slide along the external supporting block 56 and make the external expansion groove spring 57 contract. When the external detection slider 59 moves horizontally, it can measure the thickness of the horizontal part of the turbine engine shell through the vertical detection head 510 and the internal measuring mechanism 4. When the external transmission block 54 moves to the top of the external supporting block 56 inside and continues to move upward, it can drive the external supporting block 56 to move upward synchronously. When the external supporting block 56 moves upward, it can drive the external detection slider 59 to move upward. When the external detection slider 59 moves upward, it can measure the thickness of the vertical part of the turbine engine shell through the horizontal detection head 511 and the internal measuring mechanism 4. After the detection is completed, the shell carrying turntable 35 is reversely rotated, which can drive the external transmission screw rod 53 to reversely rotate, thereby driving the position of the external supporting block 56 to descend and gradually driving the external detection slider 59 to return to the initial position. Then, the external supporting block 56 is driven to rotate and is misaligned with the position of the internal expansion groove 45, so that the turbine engine shell is removed from the shell carrying turntable 35. Through the two moving ways and the vertical detection head 510 and the horizontal detection head 511 in different directions of the external detection slider 59, the internal measuring mechanism 4 and the external measuring mechanism 5 can be accurately matched to perform the thickness measurement work. Embodiment five:

[0071] Then the driving motor 31 is started to drive the shell carrying turntable 35 to rotate, and the shell carrying turntable 35 can drive the turbine engine shell to rotate when rotating;

[0072] The shell carrying turntable 35 can also drive the internal transmission screw 411 and the external transmission screw 53 to rotate when rotating;

[0073] The internal transmission screw 411 and the external transmission screw 53 can drive the internal detection slider 47 and the external detection slider 59 to move horizontally first and then vertically when rotating;

[0074] The thickness of the turbine engine shell is measured by the internal detection head 48, the vertical detection head 510 and the horizontal detection head 511 cooperating with each other during the movement of the internal detection slider 47 and the external detection slider 59.
