[0041] In summary, the red-sleeved rotor disc inspection robot of this invention adopts a modular design, enabling rapid installation and disassembly. The linear movement of the ultrasonic probe in three degrees of freedom is achieved through the cooperation of the foundation component 1, bottom translation component 2, lifting module 4, and two telescopic components 5. The tilting mechanism 1, tilting mechanism 2, rotation mechanism 1, and rotation mechanism 2 on the ultrasonic probe fixture 55 meet the posture requirements and sound beam incident angle requirements of the ultrasonic probe under different inspection operations. The two bottom translation components 2 of this invention use independent drive motors, enabling independent operation and better adaptation to the rotor structure on site. They can also operate simultaneously to reduce operation time and improve inspection efficiency. Reducers are symmetrically arranged on both sides of each drive motor to ensure smooth operation of the robotic arm. The present invention discloses a red-sleeved rotor disc inspection robot, wherein the ultrasonic probe is installed on the ultrasonic probe mounting base 5540. Under the action of the spring 5538 and the slide bar 5539, the ultrasonic probe mounting base 5540 and the water spray plate 5541 cooperate to clamp and fix the ultrasonic probe. The ultrasonic probe can be quickly replaced by pressing the ultrasonic probe mounting base 5540. At the same time, the overall structure has strong rigidity and will not shake significantly when subjected to force.
