The disassembly and assembly are convenient and quick, which helps to improve the convenience of equipment maintenance.

[0032] In summary, this probe holder adopts a multi-directional adjustable working structure based on the working requirements of the detection probe. The probe holder machine headstock serves as the mounting carrier, and the detection probe is supported by a rotating support 3 and a tilting support 5. The axial rotation and tilting adjustment of the detection probe can be achieved through the support of the rotating support 3 and the tilting support 5. This multi-directional adjustment, combined with the displacement support of the machine headstock, allows the device to meet the detection support requirements of different types of work surfaces, improving the detection accuracy and working flexibility of the probe. The rotating support 3 and the tilting support 5 are independently driven by the rotating drive motor 2 and the tilting drive motor 4, respectively, allowing for quick and accurate adjustments without manual intervention, effectively improving the ease of operation. Furthermore, both the rotating support 3 and the tilting support 5 adopt a detachable mounting structure, facilitating easy assembly and disassembly and improving the convenience of maintenance and repair.
