The output end of motor 5 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the control rods 61. When controlling the robot to rise and fall, motor 5 is started. Motor 5 drives the control rods 61 to rotate. Under the action of pulleys 64 and belt 65, the control rods 61 on both sides rotate simultaneously. The control rods 61 drive the take-up roller 62 to rotate. The take-up roller 62 drives the steel cable 63 to take up and down. The steel cable 63 drives the lifting block 621 to move up and down. The lifting block 621 drives the lifting block 67 to move. The lifting block 67 drives the mounting plate 68 to move. The mounting plate 68 drives the robot to move up and down, which facilitates the robot to descend into the protective box 2 for protection and reduces the space occupied by the robot. Example 2

[0024] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 9 As shown, an insulated bucket for use with a live-line working robot includes a bucket body 1. A protective box 2 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the bucket body 1. A lifting unit 6 is provided inside the protective box 2.

[0025] A reinforcing block 310 is fixedly connected to the right side of each of the two protective plates 34. An insertion hole 311 is provided on the outer side of each reinforcing block 310. A guide plate 312 is fixedly connected to the right side of the protective box 2. Two guide blocks 313 are slidably connected to the outer side of the guide plate 312. Insert rods 314 are fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the two guide blocks 313. An inclined plate 315 is rotatably connected to the right side of each of the two guide blocks 313. A rotating block 316 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the inclined plate 315. A control block 317 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the rotating block 316. Two fixing blocks 318 are fixedly connected to the right side of the protective box 2. A sliding rod 319 is fixedly connected between the two fixing blocks 318. An electric push rod 320 is fixedly connected between the fixing blocks 318 and the control block 317. The inclined plates 315 on both sides are symmetrically distributed.

The reinforcing block 310 is L-shaped. The outer side of the protective plate 34 is arc-shaped.

[0026] When the protective plate 34 covers the top of the protective box 2, the control electric push rod 320 drives the control block 317 to descend. The control block 317 drives the inclined plate 315 to rotate. The inclined plate 315 drives the guide block 313 to move. Since the inclined plates 315 on both sides are symmetrically distributed, the guide block 313 drives the insertion rod 314 to move, so that the insertion rod 314 is inserted into the inside of the insertion hole 311 and inserted into the reinforcing block 310, which facilitates the reinforcement of the protective plate 34 and further increases the protective effect.

[0027] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0028] Working principle: First, start motor 5 to drive control rod 61 to rotate. Control rod 61 drives take-up roller 62 to rotate. Under the action of steel cable 63 and lifting block 621, lifting block 67 is lowered. Lifting block 67 drives mounting plate 68 to lower. Mounting plate 68 drives robot to the inside of protective box 2. At this time, control electric push rod 39 to drive lifting plate 38 to lower. Under the action of side plate 37, toothed plate 36, gear 35, rotating rod 32 and L-shaped block 33, the protective plates 34 on both sides cover the top of protective box 2. At this time, control electric push rod 320 to drive control block 317 to lower. Under the action of inclined plate 315 and guide block 313, insert rod 314 into the inside of insertion hole 311 to facilitate reinforcement of protective plate 34 and further increase protection stability.
