[0002] Aero-engine blades are among the key components of aero-engines, characterized by their complex shapes, harsh stresses, wide size range, and heavy loads. The blade's external geometry determines the engine's performance, and its shape and position are closely related to the engine's characteristic parameters, compressor pressure ratio, turbine speed, and other factors. Their quality and technological level directly affect the engine's performance and lifespan. Therefore, advanced testing technologies and management methods are necessary during the design, manufacturing, and inspection of blades to ensure optimal quality and performance. Thus, geometric inspection of engine blades is particularly important.

A clearance groove is provided on the side of the two sets of constraint frame groups that are close to each other. An electric push rod that can lift the clamping arms to raise and clamp and fix the engine blades is installed in the main frame seat.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, a positioning frame fixed to the inner wall of the main frame is provided below the constraint frame group, and a support plate that fits into the bottom of the constraint frame group is provided at the bottom of the positioning frame group.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the telescopic end of the electric push rod is connected to a movable plate, and both ends of the movable plate extend to the bottom of the clamping arm through the relief groove. The movable plate can move upward along the relief groove and lift the clamping arm.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the inner walls on both sides of the travel groove are fixed with constraint columns, which extend into the guide groove and can pull the two sets of guide grooves closer to each other.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the bottom of the positioning frame is provided with four sets of bolts at each set of support plates, and each set of bolts penetrates the support plate and extends into the constraint frame group.
