Summary:Due to the unique engine intake structure of jet fighter, it is very difficult to detect its intake port and engine. Limited by the characteristics of the aircraft intake port, such as narrow space, insufficient light, and poor air circulation, personnel entering it will not only endanger the health and work mentality of personnel, but also affect the quality of detection work, leading to errors, and ultimately endanger the flight safety of the aircraft. In view of the above problems, this paper designs a special robot that can replace personnel to enter the aircraft inlet to perform detection work. The robot has a four-wheel floating independent drive structure, and the robot body has the function of negative pressure adsorption. In addition, the robot is equipped with a 5-DOF visual manipulator and a linear laser displacement sensor. The negative pressure adsorption function can help the robot maintain stability and prevent toppling when walking in the aircraft inlet. The five degree of freedom visual mechanical arm can realize the whole area visual inspection of the aircraft inlet surface and engine blades. The linear laser displacement sensor can complete the gap measurement of the aircraft engine assembly with the help of the five degree of freedom visual mechanical arm. Finally, an experimental scheme is designed to verify the function and algorithm of the robot.
