Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robot end effector mechanisms, and in particular to an end effector used for ultrasonic scanning flaw detection of workpieces. Background Art

[0002] In the manufacturing process of composite materials, non-destructive testing of manufactured parts is a key link to ensure product safety and good performance. Non-destructive testing after the composite material is cured mainly detects whether there are pores, voids, delamination, cracks, etc. inside the material. If these defects are not detected and treated in time, they may cause performance degradation or even failure during the use of the material. However, the existing non-destructive testing process still faces many challenges, such as the scanning trajectory does not completely cover the surface of the material, resulting in the omission of defects; when the workpiece is a spatial curved surface, the deviation between the water column sprayed by the water nozzle and the normal vector of the workpiece surface is too large during scanning, resulting in poor scanning accuracy. At the same time, the scanning efficiency of workers is low and cannot meet production requirements.

[0003] In order to solve these problems, it is particularly important to develop an end effector that can adapt to ultrasonic scanning of workpieces of various shapes and improve the accuracy and efficiency of ultrasonic scanning of composite materials. In the prior art, there is a lack of an end effector that is simple in structure, easy to operate, and can ensure that the water column is always adaptively perpendicular to the workpiece surface. Such an end effector can move quickly on the surface of a cured composite workpiece, while making the water column perpendicular to the workpiece surface, ensuring that the scanning range can cover the entire workpiece surface, ensuring that all parts of the workpiece are scanned and inspected, thereby ensuring the overall performance and safety standards of the composite workpiece.

[0004] Therefore, developing an end effector for ultrasonic scanning and flaw detection of workpieces can not only efficiently complete the nondestructive testing of composite workpieces, but also prevent the end effector from colliding with the workpiece through safety protection components, thereby improving the safety of the robot during operation.
