The invention relates to an ultrasonic inspection system (600) designed for the automated non-destructive testing of large composite structures, particularly in the aerospace industry. Traditional ultrasonic inspection requires precise probe positioning, which can be affected by discrepancies between the CAD model used for programming and the actual part. The proposed system includes a probe holder moved by an end effector (650), ensuring constant alignment of the ultrasonic probe (150) despite these discrepancies. The probe holder incorporates a dual compliance mechanism: an upper system allowing limited translational movement with elastic return to maintain alignment, and a lower system providing angular adjustments via two intersecting axes of rotation. Rolling elements ensure a constant distance and orientation between the ultrasonic probe and the surface to be inspected.Adapted to complex geometries, this system allows reliable automated ultrasonic control, compensating for positioning variations, thus improving the accuracy and repeatability of defect detection Figure 6.

The application provides a hinge and a vehicle. The hinge comprises a base, a connecting rod mechanism, a mounting seat and a rotating mechanism. The base is used for being connected to a vehicle body. In the application, the connecting rod mechanism plays a role of bearing the vehicle door and realizes a combined translational motion of the vehicle door in Y direction and Z direction, so that the mounting seat can move between a retracted position and an extended position. The transmission angle is changed by the rotating mechanism, and the rotating motion of the vehicle door in X direction is realized. The input end of the rotating mechanism is linked with the free end of the connecting rod mechanism, so that when the connecting rod mechanism acts, the rotating mechanism can act simultaneously to realize the translation and rotation of the vehicle door. The two groups of mechanisms are linked in the application, which improves the motion stability and structural compactness, and reduces the manufacturing cost.
