[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention uses the electric gripper output end of the clamping component to move towards each other, which drives the extension plate to move towards each other. The movement of the extension plate towards each other drives the anti-slip plate to move towards each other. The extension plate, together with the anti-slip plate, clamps the fixing component. At this time, the C-shaped plate is in the switch position of the magnetic switch. The first motor output shaft of the release component rotates, which drives the C-shaped plate to rotate. The rotation of the C-shaped plate closes the magnetic switch. At this time, the magnetic switch is no longer attracted to the back of the housing. The multi-directional drive component moves the magnetic switch and the vertical plate to the preset position on the tower. The rotation of the first motor output shaft drives the C-shaped plate to rotate, which opens the magnetic switch. At this time, the magnetic switch is magnetically attracted to the tower, and the cable passes through the round hole on the vertical plate. At this time, the magnetic switch is intermittently released to make it adhere to the tower. Multiple magnetic switches are arranged vertically on the tower. The vertical plate on the magnetic switch limits the cable and prevents it from shaking too much on the tower. This avoids the cable shaking too much and pulling on the equipment, which would cause the equipment to be unstable. The first camera and controller are used to position the magnetic switch clamping, releasing and retracting. The multi-directional drive component drives the clamping component to remove the magnetic switch from the tower, put it back into the housing, and adhere to the housing, realizing the recovery of the magnetic switch. This is conducive to the continuous release of the fixing component to the tower to continuously limit the cable and prevent the cable from shaking on the tower and pulling on the equipment due to excessive length, which would cause the equipment to be unstable. 2. The dual-output shaft motor drives the worm gear to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel to rotate. The worm wheel then drives the two tilting frames to rotate synchronously, allowing the moving components on the tilting frames to conform to the curved tower. This enables the equipment to be better magnetically attached to the tower. The second motor's output shaft drives the main synchronous pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the synchronous belt to rotate. The synchronous belt then moves multiple magnets on it, which can magnetically attach to the tower. This allows the equipment to be magnetically attached to the tower and moved, improving the stability of the equipment during movement and grinding. It also facilitates quick adjustment of the magnetic angle, allowing the equipment to conform to the curvature of the tower for adsorption, further enhancing the overall stability of the equipment during movement and grinding. 3. The locking assembly is unlocked, the locking assembly is extended, the L-shaped pull plate is moved downward, the support strip loses the support of the L-shaped pull plate, the vertical sliding support can be moved downward, the spring in the elastic deformation state is restored, the vertical sliding support is moved downward under the pressure of the spring, the vertical sliding support moves downward, the polishing head and the guide wheel of the polishing assembly move downward, the device body is tightly attached to the tower and moves, the guide wheel moves downward and tightly attaches to the tower, so that the polishing head moves downward by a preset distance and stops moving downward, at this time the polishing head receives the pressure of the spring, and due to the supporting action of the guide wheel, the polishing head moves downward by a preset distance each time the unlocking is performed, so that the pressure of the polishing head on the tower is relatively stable each time the polishing is performed, the third motor output shaft rotates to drive the polishing head to rotate, and the position to be polished on the tower is polished, and the polishing head is polished on the tower with the same pressure within the allowable wear time of the polishing head, which is beneficial to polishing the tower with constant pressure and improves the polishing stability and controllability.
