The device can quickly position and install the vane, compared with the previous clamping by using a universal vise, the iterative positioning and measuring steps of the three-coordinate measuring machine are effectively reduced, and the measurement efficiency is improved.

[0035] Specifically, the center line of the through slot 10 and the center line of the end face of one end of the support 2 are parallel and do not coincide, that is, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the through slot 10 is offset in the thickness direction of the support 2. Among them, the inner side wall of the side with large thickness of the through slot 10 is the first positioning surface.

[0036] On the basis of any of the above solutions, one end of the support 2 is provided with a through hole 11, the through hole 11 penetrates the through slot 10, the clamping device comprises a locking screw 4 and a nut 5, one end of the locking screw 4 penetrates the through hole 11 and is threadedly connected with the nut 5.

[0037] By arranging the through hole 11 and making the through hole 11 penetrate the through slot 10, after the vane 8 to be measured is placed in the through slot 10, the locking screw 4 penetrates the through hole 11 and is tightened by the nut 5, so as to tighten the two side walls of the through slot 10, thereby fixing the vane 8 to be measured, so that the measurement is more stable.

[0039] On the basis of any of the above solutions, a base 1 is further included, and the base 1 and the support 2 are fixedly connected at the other end.

[0040] By arranging the base 1 and fixedly connecting the support 2 and the base 1, the device is more stable, so that the blade measurement work can be more stably performed after clamping the blade 8 to be measured.

[0041] On the basis of any of the above solutions, a fixing plate 12 is arranged at the other end of the support 2, and the fixing plate 12 is fixedly connected with the base 1.

[0042] By arranging the fixing plate 12, the support 2 and the base 1 are fixedly connected.

[0043] On the basis of any of the above solutions, the fixing plate 12 is perpendicular to the support 2.

[0044] By arranging the fixing plate 12 and the support 2 to be perpendicular, the blade 8 to be measured is more conveniently placed and the measurement work is more conveniently performed when the device is placed in the measurement space of the three-coordinate measuring machine.

[0045] On the basis of any of the above solutions, a first screw 6 and a first pin 7 are further included, a first connecting hole and a first pin hole are arranged on the fixing plate 12, a second threaded hole and a second pin hole are correspondingly arranged on the base 1, the first screw 6 passes through the first connecting hole and is threadedly connected with the second threaded hole, and the first pin 7 is arranged in the first pin hole and the second pin hole.

[0046] The fixing plate 12 and the base 1 are connected by the first screw 6 and the first pin 7, that is, the support 2 and the base 1 are fixed.

[0047] Specifically, the first connecting hole is a through hole.

[0048] Specifically, the first screw 6 is an internal hexagonal screw.

[0049] On the basis of any of the above solutions, the first screw 6 is a plurality of, and the first pin 7 is a plurality of.

[0050] By arranging a plurality of first screws 6 and a plurality of first pins 7, the fixing plate 12 and the base 1 can be better fixed.

[0051] On the basis of any of the above solutions, the plurality of first screws 6 and the plurality of first pins 7 are arranged in a staggered manner.

[0052] By arranging the plurality of first screws 6 and the plurality of first pins 7 in a staggered manner, the fixing plate 12 and the base 1 are first preliminarily positioned by the first pin 7 and then locked by the first screw 6, so that the fixing plate 12 and the base 1 can be quickly fixed.

[0053] Specifically, the plurality of first screws 6 and the plurality of first pins 7 are arranged in two rows, the first screws 6 and the first pins 7 in each row are arranged alternately and spaced apart, and the first screws 6 and the first pins 7 in different rows are arranged oppositely.

[0054] In one specific example, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the first screw 6 has 2, the first pin 7 has 2, the first screw 6 and the first pin 7 are arranged in two rows, one first screw 6 and one first pin 7 are arranged in one row, and one first pin 7 and the first screw 6 are arranged in the other row.

[0058] By arranging the positioning pin 3, when the blade to be measured 8 is placed, the corresponding position of the blade to be measured 8 abuts against the positioning pin 3, thereby limiting the blade to be measured 8 and quickly positioning it.

[0059] In one specific example, the steps of measuring the throat area of the guide vane are as follows:

[0060] S1, clamping the blade to be measured 8, placing the clamp on the workbench of the three-coordinate measuring machine, placing the blade to be measured 8 into the through slot 10, and making the corresponding positions of the blade to be measured 8 respectively contact and abut against the first positioning face and the second positioning face, and making the corresponding positions of the blade to be measured 8 and the positioning pin 3 be clamped, thereby completing the positioning of the blade to be measured 8, then passing the locking screw 4 through the through hole 11, cooperating with the nut 5 and tightening the nut 5, thereby completing the clamping and fixing of the blade to be measured 8;

[0061] S2, establishing a virtual coordinate, operating the three-coordinate measuring machine, thereby measuring and positioning the blade to be measured 8, and repeatedly taking points to position and further establish a virtual coordinate system;

[0062] S3, calculating the throat area of the blade, operating the three-coordinate measuring machine, measuring the passage points of the blade, and further calculating the throat area of the blade;

[0063] S4, replacing the blade and measuring and calculating the throat area, loosening the nut 5 to take out the measured blade, clamping the next blade to be measured 8 and directly performing the operation of step S3.

[0064] By adopting the clamp, the mounting position of the blade 8 to be measured is determined through the first positioning surface and the second positioning surface and the limiting assembly, so that when multiple blade measurements are performed, the mounting position of the blade 8 to be measured can be quickly determined, and clamping and fixing are performed through the clamping device, without the need to repeatedly perform the step S2, that is, without the need to perform point measurement positioning and establish a virtual coordinate system each time, so that iterative positioning measurement steps of the three-coordinate measuring machine are effectively reduced, and measurement efficiency is improved.
