It should be noted that, in this solution, the front and rear ends of the vehicle body 1 refer to the two opposite ends on the vehicle body, which is only used to enhance understanding. In actual applications, the directions of the front and rear ends can be reversed.

[0059] The steering mechanism 2 includes an electric actuator 21. The electric actuator 21 is mounted on the vehicle body 1, and its output end is connected to the steering wheel 11, used to drive the steering wheel 11 to rotate radially.

The drive motor 31 is mounted on the vehicle body 1, and its output end is connected to the drive wheel 12, used to drive the drive wheel 12 to rotate axially.

After the hook 51 is connected to the high-voltage switchgear, the gripper can move forward to grasp the back of the high-voltage switchgear, completing the connection.

[0061] The sensing mechanism 4 includes multiple distance sensors 41. These distance sensors 41 are all mounted on the vehicle body 1 and are used to sense the distance to the high-voltage switchgear.

After obtaining the position and distance of the high-voltage cabinet sensed by the distance sensor 41, it controls the electric push rod 21 and the drive motor 31 to move the vehicle body 1 to the front of the high-voltage cabinet. Then, it controls the hook motor 53, the sliding motor 54, and the gripping motor 55 to start, so that the hook 51 and the gripper 52 connect with the high-voltage cabinet. The controller 6 can be equipped with a control panel and an emergency stop button 61 for cutting off the power. The control panel serves as a human-machine interface, allowing the high-voltage cabinet operation auxiliary device to perform the functions of the buttons. The control panel 61 is connected to multiple proximity switches 63 and limit switches 62 arranged in the front-rear direction. When the gripper 52 pulls the high-voltage cabinet to the first proximity switch 63, the sliding motor 54 enters low-speed movement. Reaching the second proximity switch 63 indicates that the movement stops. Reaching the limit switch 62 indicates that the proximity switch needs maintenance and that the movement should be stopped urgently.

[0063] Furthermore, an electric lifting platform 13 is provided on the vehicle body 1; the sensing mechanism 4 and the alignment mechanism 5 are both provided on the electric lifting platform 13.

[0064] Specifically, the electric lifting platform 13 is electrically connected to the controller 6; through the electric lifting platform 13, the hook 51 and the gripper 52 can be controlled to rise and fall to the position corresponding to the high voltage cabinet.

[0066] In this embodiment, the slide rail 56 is a lead screw; a fixed seat 58 is provided on the car body 1; both ends of the slide rail 56 are provided on the fixed seat 58.

[0067] Furthermore, guide rods 59 are provided on both sides of the slide rail 56, and the two guide rods 59 are symmetrically distributed with respect to the slide rail 56; the two ends of the platform 57 are respectively threaded through the two guide rods 59; the gripper 52 is provided in the middle of the platform 57.

[0068] Through two guide rods 59, the slide rail 56 can be assisted to play the roles of stable transmission and load bearing.

When the electric push rod 21 drives the rotating disk 111 to rotate, the rotating disk 111 drives the wheel 112 to rotate around its own radial direction to achieve steering.

[0072] Further, the traveling mechanism 3 further includes: a transmission shaft 33 and a chain 32; the transmission shaft 33 is fixedly connected to the driving wheel 12; the chain 32 is in transmission connection with both the transmission shaft 33 and the driving motor 31.

[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two driving wheels 12, which are arranged at both ends of the transmission shaft 33. The driving motor 31 drives the transmission shaft 33 to rotate through the chain 32, and then drives the two driving wheels 12 to rotate.

[0074] Further, a braking mechanism 6 is further included.
