DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
1. Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 3, FIG. 9, by using adjustable top 18 of the central support disk, central support disk 19 is fixed in a driving gear hole and a driven gear hole of the gear reduction box, and a scriber is used to scribe center O2 of the driving gear hole, taking the outer wall of the driving gear hole on the gear reduction box as a reference. Then a scribing template O2O1D is used to scribe center O1 of the driven gear hole of the gear reduction box, O1D should be aligned with the flask joint CO1E of the gearbox. With the scribing template a vertical line O2D is drawn from the center O2 of the driving gear hole to the flask joint CO1E of the gearbox, angle CO1O2 equals to a°+b°, the overall rotation angle b° of the gearbox can be acquired by calculating the vertical distance H between the centers of the driving gear hole and the driven gear hole and the center distance O2O1, that is, sin b°=H/O2O1. Then the connecting line O1O2 of the centers of the driven gear hole and the driving gear hole is extended to the two end points A and B of the gear reduction box body, and sample holes are punched to facilitate alignment with a scribing needle.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 3, the gear reduction box is hanged on the processional processing jig, then using the scribing needle of the scribing disk to detect whether the two end points A and B of the gear reduction box are of equal height, if not, the gear box is rotated as a whole with b° by adjusting the left adjustable support assembly 5 and the right adjustable support assembly 6 on the bottom plate 7 of the professional processing jig according to the height of the two end points, so as to ensure that point A and point B are of an equal height. After the gearbox is clamped as a whole, check the two end points A and B again to see whether the equal height is lost in the clamping process so as to avoid an error processing.
Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 5, a fixed seat 11 formed by the left adjustable support assembly is fixed to the bottom plate 7 of the processing jig via screws, rotating screw 10 by a wrench to drive supporting seat 9 to realize left and right movement, such that the gear reduction box rotates to ensure that point A and point B have the equal height, locking plate 8 ensures the supporting seat does not move during the processing of the gear reduction box.
