[0022] For this description, the threaded groove 1232 is an equidistant threaded groove, and in the initial state, the distance between each ball needle head 1222 and the center of the rotating table 12 is the same, so that the moving distance of each ball needle head 1222 always remains synchronous when the threaded groove 1232 rotates with the rotating disc 123.
[0023] The outer wall of the fixed chamber 2 is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped holes 21, the outer wall of the fixed chamber 2 is fixedly connected with a plurality of extension plates 22, the plurality of extension plates 22 are respectively located at one side of the plurality of arc-shaped holes 21, one side extension plate 22 is rotatably connected with a first connecting rod 221 at the top, the first connecting rod 221 is rotatably connected with a second connecting rod 222 at the end away from the extension plate 22, the second connecting rod 222 is sleeved on the outer wall of the second sphere 312, the other side extension plate 22 is rotatably connected with a third connecting rod 223 at the top, the third connecting rod 223 is rotatably connected with a fourth connecting rod 224 at the end away from the extension plate 22, the fourth connecting rod 224 is sleeved on the outer wall of the second sphere 312 at the end away from the third connecting rod 223, the end portions of the second connecting rod 222 and the fourth connecting rod 224 are combined to form a spherical inner wall matched with the outer wall of the second sphere 312, the outer wall of the fixed chamber 2 is fixedly connected with a third motor 23, the output end of the third motor 23 is fixedly connected with a first rotating rod 231, the first rotating rod 231 is fixedly connected with a bevel gear 232 at the end away from the third motor 23, a plurality of stand columns 24 are fixedly connected with a bottom disc 241 at the end away from the fixed chamber 2, a plurality of inclined angle sensors 2411 are fixedly connected at the inner side top of the bottom disc 241, an inner spherical surface 251 is formed on the inner wall of the inner columnar frame 25, the first sphere 311 is movably connected in the inner spherical surface 251, a bevel gear rack 252 is fixedly connected at the top of the inner columnar frame 25 and is meshingly connected with the bevel gear 232.
[0024] The bottom of the guide rod 31 is fixedly connected with a guide disc 32, the position of the guide disc 32 is matched with the position of the inclined angle sensor 2411, the No. 2 sphere 312 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the guide rod 31, the top of the No. 2 sphere 312 is rotatably connected with a No. 2 rotating rod 313, the No. 2 rotating rod 313 is fixedly connected with an electric telescopic rod 33 at the end away from the No. 2 sphere 312, a plurality of electric sliding rails 331 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the electric telescopic rod 33, the positions of the electric sliding rails 331 are distributed in a staggered manner with the position of the sliding column 122, and the top of the electric sliding rail 331 is slidably connected with a detection plate 332. The electric telescopic rod 33 is fixedly connected to the output end of the No. 2 motor 131 at the end away from the No. 2 rotating rod 313.
[0025] Therefore, when the gap of the slewing bearing needs to be detected, the worker places the slewing bearing on the platform 11, aligns the bolt holes around the slewing bearing with the threaded columns 111, and fixes the slewing bearing on the top of the platform 11 through the threaded columns 111. At this time, the driving of the No. 1 motor 112 drives the No. 1 gear 113 to rotate, which in turn drives the No. 2 gear 1231 to rotate, and the No. 2 gear 1231 drives the rotating disc 123 to rotate. In the process of rotating the rotating disc 123, the protruding column 1223 is expanded and slid outward along the strip-shaped groove 121 by the threaded groove 1232. At this time, the protruding column 1223 also drives the sliding column 122, the detection needle 1221 and the ball needle head 1222 to move inwardly to the slewing bearing, so as to detect the gap of the slewing bearing, and the obtained data is saved.
[0026] It should be noted that when it is necessary to ensure that the ball needle head 1222 matches the gap position of the slewing bearing after the slewing bearing is placed, the worker can rotate the threaded column 111 to make the sliding piece 1111 slide up and down, and in the same way, the up and down sliding of the sliding piece 1111 drives the slewing bearing to move up and down, so as to adjust the gap position of the slewing bearing.
[0027] In addition, when it is necessary to detect whether the inner and outer rings of the slewing bearing are dislocated, tilted or deviated, the slewing bearing is placed and fixed on the platform 11, and the position is adjusted through the threaded column 111, then the detection plates 332 are driven to slide outward by the electric slide rail 331 until the detection plates 332 stop against the inner wall of the inner ring of the slewing bearing. At this time, if the inner ring of the slewing bearing is dislocated, tilted or deviated, the thrust on each detection plate 332 will change after the electric slide rail 331 stops driving the detection plates 332, which will drive each detection plate 332 to tilt in different directions along with the tilting direction of the inner ring of the slewing bearing, and at the same time, will drive the electric telescopic rod 33, the guide rod 31 and the second rotating rod 313 to tilt to one side. At this time, the inclination angle of the guide rod 31 is the same as the inclination angle of the slewing bearing, and at the same time, the inclination of the guide disc 32 at the first ball 311 in the inner spherical surface 251 as the fulcrum will be driven by the inclination of the guide rod 31, and the inclination angle of the guide disc 32 will be collected by the inclined angle sensor 2411, and the inclination and dislocation data between the inner and outer rings of the slewing bearing will be obtained by conversion in the control console. If the data is within the threshold range, subsequent repair will be performed, and if the data exceeds the maximum threshold range, the slewing bearing cannot be used continuously.
[0028] In addition, considering that the clearance between the inner and outer rings of the slewing bearing or the dislocation, tilt or deviation of the inner ring are relatively fine data support, the position may not be found during detection. As described above, when the detection plates 332 are against the inner wall of the inner ring, the slewing bearing and the detection plates 332 are lifted along with the electric telescopic rod 33 and the threaded column 111, at this time, the second motor 131 is started and drives the electric telescopic rod 33 to rotate, at this time, the detection plates 332 will slide along the inner wall of the inner ring, if the inner ring is in a tilted and dislocated state, the detection plates 332 will drive the guide rod 31, the electric telescopic rod 33 and the second rotating rod 313 to rotate together with the first ball 311 as the fulcrum, and at the same time, the guide disc 32 will also rotate after being tilted, at this time, the maximum angle of rotation of the guide disc 32 can be collected by the plurality of inclined angle sensors 2411.
[0029] It should be noted that the first connecting rod 221, the second connecting rod 222, the third connecting rod 223 and the fourth connecting rod 224 are used for support effect during the rotation of the guide rod 31, for limiting the maximum inclination angle of the guide rod 31.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and the above-mentioned embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only preferred examples of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
