[0041] When the robot climbs the transmission line tower, the front and rear arms are used to move the robot body along the transmission line tower angle steel longitudinally upwards and downwards while the two claws are used to clamp and release the angle steel alternately. For example, when climbing longitudinally upwards, the front claw releases the angle steel, the rear claw still clamps the angle steel, the front arm screw drives the front claw to move longitudinally upwards along the transmission line tower to the upper limit of the front arm, the front claw clamps the angle steel, the rear claw releases the angle steel, the front arm screw drives the front arm to move longitudinally upwards along the transmission line tower to the lower limit of the front arm, and at the same time, the rear arm screw drives the rear claw to move longitudinally upwards along the transmission line tower to the upper limit of the rear arm, the rear claw clamps the angle steel, and the longitudinal stroke of each climbing step of the robot is the length of the arm, which is a stepping unit, and through reciprocation, the robot realizes longitudinal climbing of the main material of the transmission line tower. For example, the reverse movement is descending climbing.

[0042] When the robot needs to climb from the main material of the power transmission line tower to the cross material, the climbing robot first climbs to the center position of the front arm and the rear arm to align the connection between the main material of the power transmission line tower and the cross material. In the first step, both the front and rear claws keep clamping the angle steel of the power transmission line tower main material, and the front and rear arm shafts are driven by the front and rear hand claw axial rotation motors to rotate to the cross material surface. In the second step, the rear hand claw keeps clamping the angle steel of the power transmission line tower main material as support, and the front hand claw is released, and the front arm is driven to rotate relative to the rear arm by the steering mechanism to be horizontal with the cross material. In the third step, the front hand claw is adjusted to be perpendicular to the right angle end surface of the cross material angle steel by the front hand claw axial rotation motor. In the fourth step, the front hand claw clamps the cross material angle steel. In the fifth step, the rear hand claw is released, and the rear arm is adjusted to be parallel to the front arm by the steering mechanism. In the sixth step, the front arm leads along the cross material, drives the rear arm and the rear hand claw to the right angle end surface of the cross material, and controls the rear hand claw to keep clamping. Thus, the robot body completes the whole process of moving from the main material of the power transmission line tower to the cross material, and the robot can move horizontally along the cross material of the power transmission line tower.
