Under the action of inertial movement, the impeller moves along the impeller feeding guide rod at the joint of the feeding belt conveyor and the transparent glass turntable and enters the transparent glass turntable. S1. Impeller side profile projection size detection: The impeller moves with the rotating transparent glass turntable until it reaches the impeller side profile projection size detection position, and the side profile projection image of the impeller on the impeller side projection background plate is obtained by the first visual recognition camera in the impeller side profile projection size detector.

[0031] As a further improvement of the present invention, the following steps are further provided between step S3 and step S4: S3A, blade profile feature extraction: the impeller continues to move with the rotating transparent glass turntable until it reaches the blade profile feature extraction position; before the impeller reaches the blade profile feature extraction position, the control system drives the blade profile feature extractor to operate in advance according to the blade quantity and position distribution data obtained in step S2, and moves the indexing plate on the motor shaft of the angle motor in the blade profile feature extractor to the center of the blade profile feature extraction position in advance through the linear guide assembly (the center is consistent with the impeller center to be reached, and the impeller center radius data is obtained by the control system The system obtains the data obtained by online measurement of the number and position distribution detector of the blades, and starts the angular motor to adjust the circumferential angle of the indexing plate on the motor shaft of the angular motor in advance, so that the circumferential distribution position of the distance sensor array on the indexing plate is matched with the circumferential distribution position of the blades obtained in the step S2; when the impeller reaches the blade profile feature extraction position, the distance sensor array on the indexing plate measures the vertical coordinate data of the corresponding blade profile on the impeller; the control system determines whether the impeller is an abnormal impeller according to the vertical coordinate data of the corresponding blade profile on the impeller measured by the distance sensor array.

[0032] Preferably, an error range can be pre-set for the impeller side profile projection image size data, the impeller back profile projection image size data and the vertical coordinate data of the corresponding blade profile on the impeller. The control system compares the measured impeller data to be tested with the standard impeller. When the error range exceeds the pre-set error range, the impeller is judged as an abnormal impeller.

[0033] Preferably, during the rotation of the transparent glass turntable, the control system also turns on the positive and negative pressure compound cleaning device to continuously perform positive and negative pressure compound cleaning on the front and back sides of the transparent glass turntable.
