[0079] The operation arm 3 drives the gripper 27 to approach the spacer rod 1, at this time the gripper 27 is in an open state, when reaching the clamping position, the gripper 27 is closed to clamp the middle part of the body of the spacer rod 1, and then the spacer rod 1 is carried to the installation position; at this time, the fixed end of the chuck of the spacer rod 1 is placed on the wire, the movable end of the chuck is freely hanging, and at the same time the chuck of the spacer rod 1 is located between the fixed clamping plate 31 and the movable clamping plate 32; the movable clamping plate 32 is driven by the clamping linear electric push rod 33 to approach the movable end of the chuck of the spacer rod 1, and then the movable end of the chuck is clamped on the wire by the movable clamping plate 32, at this time the fixed end and the movable end of the chuck of the spacer rod 1 are wrapped outside the wire; the second grabbing mechanism reaches the suction pin shaft 2 position in the suction pin shaft 2 posture, the electromagnetic elements in the electromagnetic suction seat 28 are electrified, the electromagnetic suction seat 28 has magnetic attraction force, and the electromagnetic suction seat 28 successfully sucks the pin shaft 2. Then the second grabbing mechanism comes to the rear of the spacer rod 1, the visual positioning module 29 is used to identify and position the pin hole towards the spacer rod 1 pin hole, and then the operation arm 3 is guided to insert the pin shaft 2 into the pin hole, after insertion, the electromagnetic suction seat 28 is de-energized, the operation arm 3 smoothly exits, and the installation of the spacer rod 1 is completed.

[0080] The front walking driving mechanism continues to drive the front walking wheel 4 to move forward, when the rear walking wheel 14 approaches the installed spacer rod 1, the rear wheel frame 15 is driven to rotate in the corresponding direction by the turnover driving mechanism, so that the overhanging rear walking wheel 14 rotates in the direction of the front rear walking wheel 14 on the wire, and then the front movement is matched, so that the rear wheel frame 15 is turned over forward, and the overhanging rear walking wheel 14 adjacent to the front rear walking wheel 14 on the wire will cross the installed spacer rod 1 and fall on the wire, at this time the rear walking wheel 14 behind the wire has been turned over to leave the wire, at this time the installed spacer rod 1 is located between the two rear walking wheels 14 on the wire; continue to drive the rear wheel frame 15 to turn over forward by the turnover driving mechanism, until the installed spacer rod 1 moves to the rear of all the rear walking wheels 14.

[0081] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present application, but the embodiment of the present application is not limited by the above, any change, modification, replacement, combination, simplification made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present application should be an equivalent replacement method, which is included in the protection scope of the present application.
