[0033] Usage process: sleeve the first fixing ring 11 and the second fixing ring 12 onto the circumferential surface of the workpiece, adjust the spacing between the two fixing rings and connect the slider 2 between the two fixing rings so that the slider 2 can slide smoothly, then fix the spacing between the two fixing rings by means of the bolt 13, and then tighten the connecting bolts between the semicircular rings 14 of the first fixing ring 11 and the second fixing ring 12 to fix the two fixing rings to the predetermined positions on the circumferential surface of the workpiece; screw the water inlet transfer pipe 3 into the threaded through hole 21 of the slider 2 (the side of the water inlet transfer pipe 3 provided with the gasket 4 faces inward), then slide the slider 2 so that the water inlet transfer pipe 3 is aligned with the target injection port, and then screw the water inlet transfer pipe 3 so that the end provided with the gasket 4 is pressed tightly against the circumferential surface of the workpiece, and finally connect the nozzle of the water inlet transfer pipe 3 with the output port of the water injection equipment with a metal hose; set the output pressure of the water injection equipment and start timing, and then measure the water flow at the output end of the corresponding groove of the workpiece, and after the measurement is completed, loosen the water inlet transfer pipe 3, and slide the slider 2 to the next injection port for detection.

[0034] Specifically, after the workpiece is manufactured by 3D printing technology, the injection port can be processed on the workpiece by electric spark equipment (according to the size and positioning line of the injection port given by the process); after the injection port is processed, the injection port and the groove inside the workpiece are flushed with a flushing device, and after the flushing is completed, the above-mentioned flow detection is performed by the detection tooling of the utility model, and each injection port is repaired according to the detection result until the measured flow is within the standard flow parameter range; then a secondary flushing is performed to rinse off the processing debris generated during the repairing process, and finally the workpiece is dried to prevent the workpiece from rusting.

[0035] (1) The above flushing process is a forward and reverse flushing process, and the flushing is qualified until there is no visible processing debris on the white cloth wrapped around the water outlet. (2) During the hole repair process, when it is necessary to expand the injection port, a fine steel wire can be used to grind and expand the injection port; when it is necessary to shrink the injection port, a special punch can be used to knock around the injection port, and the hole can be repaired and measured at the same time until the size of the injection port meets the requirements. (3) The workpiece can be dried in an oven.
