Before the base 1 enters the electric field, an equipotential connection is performed in advance to prevent the wire from frequently discharging the base 1.

[0040] When the present invention is in use, the drone is first used to fly the robot to the vicinity of the double-split conductor through the hanging component 3. After arriving at the working area, the robot is put down, and the robot is fixed on the double-split conductor through the cooperation of the guide component 5 and the walking component 4; further, the conductor is placed on the guide plate 15, and under the action of the overall weight of the robot, the buffer elastic part contracts, and the conductor moves between the two clamping wheels 16. At this time, the two clamping wheels 16 move toward each other under the action of the double skateboard slide 19, and then clamp the conductor in the middle. The clamping of the clamping wheels 16 stabilizes the body of the entire robot; the drone is disconnected from the hanging component 3; the clamping wheel 16 rotates under the drive of the drive motor, and the clamping wheel 16 walks on the conductor, and the robot completes the walking function.

[0041] When the robot reaches the work site and finds the location of the defect through the camera, the staff can control the robot's mechanical arm and rotating disk 2 through wireless communication to align the electric wrench 8 on the disassembly component 18 with the bolt for tightening.

[0042] When the robot reaches the work site and finds the location of the defect through the camera, the staff can control the robot's mechanical arm and rotating disk 2 through wireless communication to align the pin plate 9 of the straightening assembly 17 with the pin hole 26 of the bowl head hanging plate 25. At this time, the straightening fixture clamps the bottom of the bowl head hanging plate 25 to straighten the bowl head hanging plate 25. The shape of the bowl head hanging plate 25 is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the sales push rod 12 pushes the pin in the pin hole 26 into the limit baffle 20 under the drive of the sales push rod. At this time, the insulator is not limited by the pin and can be replaced. When the new insulator is placed in the cup head pin hole, the pin closing electric cylinder 11 drives the pin closing push rod 13 to push the pin in the limit baffle 20 back into the pin hole 26, so that the new insulator is limited. At this time, the straightening clamp is released to complete the insulator replacement work. The robot is connected to the hanging component 3 again through the drone, and the robot's clamping wheels 16 are separated to both sides. The drone brings the robot to the ground to complete the work.

[0043] The present invention has been described in detail above. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. That is, all equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of this application should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
