[0068] By setting up the flying unit 2, it is convenient for high-altitude operations and transporting the entire machine from a distribution center to a large aircraft to be polished and polished, the polishing machine can be quickly put into place to reduce costs. The lifting and landing motion unit 3 is used to drive the first adsorption mechanism 22 to rotate and position at any angle and cooperate with the adsorption fixing method of the first adsorption mechanism 22 to achieve self-driven climbing, reduce the labor intensity of workers, and enhance the stability of polishing. The telescopic polishing unit 4 can be fixed at any angle to perform envelope polishing on the aircraft skin, which can achieve the requirements of polishing and polishing operations without dead angles for the entire skin profile.

The master control and communication unit can accept manual direct input and network information and can remotely control the flight unit 2, the landing and take-off unit 3, the telescopic polishing unit 4 and the auxiliary cleaning unit 5.
[0118] Step 2: According to the task items, the control and communication unit 6 independently configures the flight unit 2, the take-off and landing motion unit 3, the telescopic grinding unit 4 and the auxiliary cleaning unit 5, that is, configures the grinding and polishing system in a targeted manner.
[0119] Step 3: After the configuration is completed, the flight unit 2 flies to the mission address according to the mission requirements, and at the same time hovers to configure the take-off and landing motion unit 3, the telescopic polishing unit 4 and the auxiliary cleaning unit 5.

The telescopic grinding unit 4 includes one or more process functions, such as mechanical grinding and polishing, chemical polishing, electrolytic polishing, jet polishing, ultrasonic polishing, magnetic grinding polishing, etc.
[0124] Step 5: After the auxiliary cleaning unit 5 completes the operation, the completion status of the task items is evaluated on-site at the task target and the evaluation results are sent to the control and communication unit 6: the evaluation results need to be stored; the control and communication unit 6 determines whether the evaluation results are qualified, and if so, sends a return message to the flight unit 2: the flight unit 2 retracts the landing and take-off motion unit 3, telescopic polishing unit 4 and auxiliary cleaning unit 5 configured thereon, and autonomously returns to the waiting work area according to the path planning system.
[0125] Furthermore, after the configured flight unit 2 flies to the mission address according to the mission time, it also includes:

The specific working method is: when arriving above the aircraft to be polished, the control and communication unit 6 makes a decision and allocates tasks. After a single position completes the task, it can climb to the other positions to assist the other positions to continue to complete the task, and perform dynamic energy optimization. After completing the work, the robot array returns to the waiting work area to wait for the start of the next round of tasks.
