[0054] The moving rod 31 is adapted to be actuated to drive the corresponding sliding block 2 to move.
[0055] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 7 , a through slot is formed in the bottom plate 1, and the two sliding blocks 2 are movably arranged in the through slot;
[0056] The inside of the bottom plate 1 is provided with a threaded hole, and the threaded hole is communicated with the through slot;
[0057] An external thread is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the moving rod 31, and the moving rod 31 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole, and one end of the moving rod 31 is connected with the sliding block 2.
[0058] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:
[0059] Firstly, the structure of the extruder is a transmission box 71 and a machine barrel 73 connected with the transmission box 71, two screw rods 74 are arranged in the machine barrel 73, two output shafts 72 corresponding to the screw rods 74 are arranged on the transmission box 71, and the connection between the output shaft 72 and the transmission box 71 has a fixed gap due to assembly problems and an elastic gap caused by the arrangement of an elastic element in the transmission box 71, the elastic element between the transmission box 71 and the output shaft 72, according to its function and design, usually refers to an element that plays a role in shock absorption, buffering, displacement compensation and the like in the transmission process, in this embodiment, the elastic element is a spring, and the protruding part and the recessed part between the two screw rods 74 cooperate to form a screw rod 74 gap, and the two sides of the protruding part in the screw rod 74 gap are respectively a screw rod 74 gap one and a threaded gap two;
[0060] The whole adjustment detection is divided into three steps, step one is to directly butt joint the bottom plate 1 of the adjustment detection device with the shell of the transmission box 71, after the butt joint is completed, two moving rods 31 are respectively rotated to drive the corresponding sliding blocks 2 to move to the positions of the two output shafts 72 of the transmission box 71, and then drive the two push rods 41 to move to the positions corresponding to the two output shafts 72, at the same time, a dial gauge is installed, the measuring point of the dial gauge is selected as the dialing section of the output shaft 72 of the transmission box 71 and is adjusted to zero, it should be noted that the diameter of the push rod 41 is smaller than the diameter of the output shaft 72, and the dialing end face is the end face part not covered by the push rod 41 after the push rod 41 contacts the end face of the output shaft 72;
[0061] After the above preparation, rotate the push rod 41 to move the push rod 41 in the sliding block 2 to the direction of the output shaft 72, the push rod 41 generates a pushing force on the corresponding output shaft 72, forcing the output shaft 72 to move to the direction of the transmission box 71, and in the process of moving, the push rod 41 causes extrusion to the transmission box 71, and in the process of extrusion, the inherent gap caused by assembly problems is first eliminated, and after the inherent gap is eliminated, the push rod 41 continues to apply a pushing force to the corresponding output shaft 72, causing the output shaft 72 to continue to move, and in the process of continuing to move, the elastic element in the transmission box 71 is extruded, and in the process of the entire output shaft 72 being pushed, the dial indicator pointer initially set to zero always remains in the dialing state, and when the elastic element is extruded to the state that the output shaft 72 cannot continue to move, the entire elastic gap is eliminated, and at this time the dial indicator pointer also stops moving, and then reverse rotate the push rod 41 to remove the pushing force on the output shaft 72, and the output shaft 72 loses the pushing force and cannot continue to apply pressure to the elastic element, so the elastic element rebounds to drive the output shaft 72 to move in the reverse direction. In this process, the elastic element only resets the output shaft 72 to the position before the elastic element is extruded, and the inherent gap that has been eliminated cannot be restored. In the process of the output shaft 72 moving in the reverse direction, the dial indicator pointer moves, and the initial zero position of the dial indicator, the value obtained when the inherent gap and the elastic gap are both eliminated, and the value obtained when the elastic gap is restored can accurately determine the specific value of the elastic gap between the output shaft 72 and the transmission box 71;
[0062] Step two: disconnect the transmission box 71 from the bottom plate 1, connect the machine cylinder 73 with the transmission box 71, and place the screw rod 74 in the machine cylinder 73 so that the screw rod 74 is in contact with its corresponding output shaft 72. Then, connect the bottom plate 1 with the installed machine cylinder 73, and rotate the moving rod 31 to move the sliding block 2 and the push rod 41 to the corresponding screw rod 74. Select the measurement point of the dial indicator as the dialing cross section of the output shaft 72 of the transmission box 71 and set it to zero. It should be noted that the diameter of the dial indicator is smaller than the diameter of the output shaft 72, and the dialing end surface is the end surface portion of the screw rod 74 that is not covered by the screw rod 74 after the screw rod 74 contacts the end surface of the output shaft 72.
[0063] For ease of expression, the subsequent corresponding push rod 41, screw rod 74, and output shaft 72 are all distinguished by left and right.
[0064] After the above preparation, rotate the left push rod 41 to extrude the left screw rod 74, and the extruded left screw rod 74 extrudes the left output shaft 72. At this time, the dial indicator pointer on the left output shaft 72 continuously moves until the pointer stops, which means that the inherent gap and the elastic gap of the left output shaft 72 have been eliminated, and at this time the left screw rod 74 is in a limited state and cannot move.
[0065] On the basis that the left screw rod 74 cannot be moved, rotating the right push rod 41 drives the right screw rod 74 to move and causes extrusion to the right output shaft 72, in the process, directly observing whether the right screw rod 74 causes interference to the left screw rod 74 in the moving process, the right screw rod 74 is pressed in, and then the push rod 41 is loosened to make the right screw rod 74 rebound by the elastic element of the right output shaft 72, the operation is repeated, ensuring that the pressing and rebounding of the right screw rod 74 will not cause interference to the left screw rod 74, and the amount of pressing and rebounding will be monitored by the pointer of the dial gauge, the specific values of the screw rod 74 gap one and the screw rod 74 gap two can be obtained by the operator according to the record of the pointer value, in this way, the pressing and rebounding operation of the right screw rod 74 is repeatedly carried out until the screw rod 74 gap one and the screw rod 74 gap two reach the required values, it should be noted that the specific indexes of the screw rod 74 gap one and the screw rod 74 gap two are determined according to the actual process requirements, the complete elastic gap value obtained in step one is a larger range, and the repeated pressing and rebounding process of the right screw rod 74 in step two is to reasonably distribute and adjust the complete elastic gap value, to control the actual axial jump of the right screw rod 74 in work, so that the screw rod 74 gap one and the screw rod 74 gap two meet the actual needs, and the right screw rod 74 after adjustment is fixed, the fixing method of the screw rod 74 is the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
[0066] The operation method of step three is the same as that of step two, and the above steps are repeated to adjust the limited left screw rod 74 in step two to ensure that the screw rod 74 gap one and the screw rod 74 gap two formed by the pressing and rebounding of the two screw rods 74 can meet the required gap value and will not cause interference.
[0067] It should be noted that according to the actual use, an extension rod 42 can be arranged at one end of the push rod 41, and the extension rod 42 is used to lengthen the push rod 41.

[0070] As shown in Figure 5 , the bottom plate 1 is provided with a scale disc 5, and the two sliding blocks 2 are provided with indicating arrows;
[0071] The indicating arrows correspond to the scales on the scale disc 5.
[0072] As shown in Figures 5-7 , the bottom plate 1 is provided with a handle 6.
[0073] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:
[0074] A plurality of mounting holes 11 are formed on the bottom plate 1, and the plurality of mounting holes 11 can be compatible with different machine types, facilitating the butt joint work of the bottom plate 1 and the transmission box 71 or the machine barrel 73;
[0075] A scale disc 5 corresponding to the indication arrow on the sliding block 2 is arranged on the bottom plate 1, and when the corresponding sliding block 2 and the corresponding screw rod 74 or the output shaft 72 are aligned by the moving rod 31, the corresponding sliding block 2 can be accurately positioned according to the numerical value on the scale disc 5;
