[0039] like Figure 2As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the connecting base 1 includes a connecting frame 101, a guide column 102 and a compression spring 104, wherein two guide columns 102 are slidably connected to both sides of the connecting frame 101, the upper ends of the two guide columns 102 on one side are connected to the unloading component Ⅰ2, and the upper ends of the two guide columns 102 on the other side are connected to the unloading component Ⅱ3; each guide column 102 is sleeved with a compression spring 104, and the lower end is axially limited by a limiting nut 103.

[0040] When the whole system is in operation, the main body of the replacement tool is installed on the posture adjustment mechanical arm. During the insulator replacement operation, if the two are rigidly connected, interaction forces will be generated between the components.

The threads at both ends of the double-rotation screw 209 have opposite rotation directions and form a threaded match with the screw nuts of the corresponding rotation directions at both ends. During installation, the joint bolts 213 at both ends are connected to the corresponding front and rear clamping bodies. The guide rail slider moving pair is fixed on the mounting frame 202, and the left and right rotating screw nuts are connected to the corresponding sliders 205, so that the rotation of the gear transmission mechanism is converted into the movement of the screw nut slider. During operation, the gear transmission mechanism drives the double-rotation screw 209 to rotate, further drives the joint bolts 213 on both sides to move linearly and tighten the front and rear clamping bodies, thereby realizing the function of unloading the tension of the insulator string.

[0046] Since the core tool is a split structure, different types of core tools can be installed in the front and rear clamping bodies, thus meeting the application requirements of porcelain or glass insulators of different models and specifications. The core tool inside the tool is designed with a split petal structure, which is conducive to tightening when under stress, ensuring its strength and reliability.

[0047] Specifically, the bidirectional linear drive mechanism includes a left-handed nut II 402, a clamping motor 403, a left-handed screw 404, a chain transmission mechanism 405, a right-handed screw 406 and a right-handed nut II 407, wherein the left-handed screw 404 and the right-handed screw 406 are coaxially connected to the fixture body 401, the left-handed nut II 402 and the right-handed nut II 407 are threadedly connected to the left-handed screw 404 and the right-handed screw 406 respectively, and the left-handed nut II 402 and the right-handed nut II 407 are connected to the left sliding card body 409 and the right sliding card body 413 respectively; the clamping motor 403 is arranged on the fixture body 401, and the output end is connected to the left-handed screw 404 or the right-handed screw 406 through the chain transmission mechanism 405.

The clamping bodies of the clamps on both sides are reliably clamped by closing and clamping the corresponding steel caps, which is a prerequisite for replacing the single-piece insulator. The actuator of the clamping body of the clamp is a trapezoidal lead screw and a nut. The lead screw is divided into a left-handed lead screw and a right-handed lead screw. The corresponding nuts on both sides are respectively connected to the sliding clamp body, driving the corresponding sliding clamp body to tighten or loosen, thereby achieving the clamping of the steel caps on both sides of the insulator. The sliding clamp body includes a left sliding clamp body 409 and a right sliding clamp body 413, which realize sliding translation through the dovetail groove 408 on the clamp body 401. The power comes from the rotation of the forward and reverse rotation lead screws. The lead screw is connected to the servo motor through a pair of sprockets, and the motor mounting frame is fixedly connected to the clamp body frame. The core tool is embedded inside the fixture body 401 and the sliding fixture. The core tool in this structure is divided into three parts: an upper inner clamping ring 410, a left inner clamping ring 411 and a right inner clamping ring 412. By replacing inner clamping rings of different sizes, the replacement operation of insulator sheets of different models can be met.

[0049] like Figure 5-8 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the insulating porcelain bottle adjustment device 6 includes an adjustment base 61 and an adjustment component I 62 and an adjustment component II 63 arranged on the adjustment base 61; the adjustment component I 62 and the adjustment component II 63 are arranged in parallel to support and adjust two adjacent monolithic insulators.
