Import the inspection device into the ABB medium pressure plate branch bus, loosen the butterfly nut 1.11 to restore the length of the drive clamping spring 1.5, reduce the angle between the two sets of main frame modules 1.7, and clamp the ABB medium pressure plate branch bus by the elastic force of the drive clamping spring 1.5.
