[0002] The gearbox of an EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) is a key component of the running gear, directly driving the train. To ensure consistent lubrication, the gearbox requires regular lubrication oil replacement. Currently, gearbox oil changes are primarily performed manually, both domestically and internationally. This manual process typically involves cleaning the drain plug, fill plug, and surrounding area with a wire brush. Then, using a hexagonal socket to remove the fill plug, the drain plug is removed again with a hexagonal socket to drain any remaining oil from the gearbox into a waste oil container. After draining, the drain plug is tightened with a hexagonal socket. A grease gun is then used to inject lubricant into the gearbox through the fill port. After lubrication, the fill plug is tightened with a hexagonal socket. Finally, the drain and fill plugs and surrounding area are cleaned with detergent and a non-woven fabric. The entire manual process is complex and inefficient, and the poor working environment makes it prone to safety incidents. Summary of the Invention

The laser marking unit 3 marks the sampling bottle and places the sampling bottle on the sampling bottle collection unit 4. (S6) The second manipulator 10 moves to remove the new oil plug from the new and unqualified oil plug storage unit 13 (i.e., through the second sleeve 1102) and install the new oil plug into the oil drain port. (S7) The first manipulator 8 moves to take the sampling bottle and the oil filling assembly execution module 9 (i.e., through the oil filling gun 903) to add oil to the gear box; (S8) The second manipulator 10 moves to remove the new oil plug from the new and unqualified oil plug storage unit 13 (i.e., through the second sleeve 1102) and install the new oil plug into the oil filling port. (S9) The oil plug tightening processing unit 7 is activated, and the oil plug tightening processing unit 7 (i.e., through the first sleeve 702) tightens the new oil drain plug and the new oil filling plug; (S10) Second manipulator 10 actuates, and oil plug tightening and cleaning component execution module 11 (i.e., via third industrial camera 1107) takes a visual image and uploads it. This intelligent maintenance vehicle for EMU gearboxes utilizes multiple actions, alternating between the oil plug tightening and loosening processing unit 7, first manipulator 8, and second manipulator 10. This method offers fast response and high accuracy, effectively improving the efficiency and quality of EMU gearbox oil change maintenance.
