[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-7 A multi-functional tool vehicle for substation maintenance includes: several stacking bases 200, which are stacked and adjacent stacking bases 200 are detachably connected; the stacking bases 200 are stepped to form steps for maintenance personnel to climb; and several toolboxes 300, which are installed inside the stacking bases 200 and are used to classify and store tools.

[0029] This embodiment integrates tool storage and high-altitude operation functions, reducing the number and types of tools carried by maintenance personnel. It also provides a convenient way to ascend; several stacking bases 200 are stacked into a stepped shape, providing a large stepping area. Compared to traditional ladders, this is more stable and less slippery, increasing the safety of maintenance personnel during high-altitude operations. It facilitates climbing at different heights and increases the stability and load-bearing capacity of the tool cart. The number of stacking bases 200 can be adjusted as needed to create stepped shapes of different heights (see reference). Figure 7 This system is designed to accommodate the inspection and maintenance of transformer boxes at different heights. Tools are categorized and placed in the toolbox 300, making it easy for maintenance personnel to quickly find the tools they need, thus improving work efficiency. Meanwhile, the stacking base 200 can serve as both a tool storage space and a step for personnel to climb.

[0030] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The stacking base 200 includes: a through hole 201, which is formed through the stacking base 200, and the toolbox 300 is disposed in the through hole 201; a groove 202, which is formed on the top of the stacking base 200; a mating plate 203, which is installed on the bottom of the stacking base 200 and is connected to the groove 202 on the adjacent stacking base 200; and a damping slide rail 204, which is installed on the inner wall of the through hole 201 and is connected to the damping slide rail 204.

[0031] The aforementioned through hole 201 provides installation and storage space for the toolbox 300. When moving the tool cart, the toolbox 300 is placed inside the through hole 201. When climbing is required, the toolbox 300 can be pulled out from the through hole 201 and can be used as a step, providing a larger area for maintenance personnel to step on and making it convenient to quickly retrieve tools. The docking plate 203 and the groove 202 facilitate the stacking of the stacking bases 200 together. The detachable connection between the stacking bases 200 is achieved through the cooperation of the groove 202 and the docking plate 203. The damping slide rail 204 can improve the smoothness of the movement of the toolbox 300, making it more convenient to pick up and put down the toolbox 300 and improving work efficiency.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The toolbox 300 has placement holes 301 on both sides. The toolbox 300 includes: a footrest 303 formed on the top of the toolbox 300; and a handle 302 mounted on the toolbox 300.

[0033] The toolbox 300 has a footrest surface 303 on its top, which increases its practicality. A handle 302 is installed on the toolbox 300, making it easy for maintenance personnel to move and transport it. The categorized storage of tools in the toolbox 300 makes tool management more organized and improves work efficiency. The design of the footrest surface 303 and the handle 302 further enhances the practicality and convenience of the toolbox 300.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The system includes a base plate 100, on which several stacking seats 200 are mounted; and an inspection robot 400, mounted on the base plate 100, which is equipped with a thermal imager 401 and a visible light camera 402. The base plate 100 includes: a push rod 101 mounted on the base plate 100; and several casters 102 mounted on the bottom of the base plate 100.

[0035] The aforementioned base plate 100 is equipped with a push rod 101 and casters 102, which facilitates the movement of the tool cart by maintenance personnel for inspection operations. The inspection robot 400 performs inspection operations through a preset program or remote control. The addition of the inspection robot 400 realizes intelligent inspection of substation equipment, improving inspection efficiency and accuracy. The design of the push rod 101 and casters 102 makes the tool cart more convenient and flexible to move.

[0036] During use, select the appropriate number of stacking seats 200 according to actual needs, and stack them into a stepped shape using mating plates 203 and grooves 202. Install toolboxes 300 in the through holes 201 of the stacking seats 200 via damping slide rails 204 to ensure smooth sliding and easy access. Mount the stacking seats 200 as a whole on the base plate 100 to ensure stability. Store various tools required for substation maintenance in their respective toolboxes 300 according to their categories, ensuring that the tools in each toolbox 300 are neatly arranged for quick access. Maintenance personnel can easily move the tool cart to the substation area where work needs to be done using push rods 101 and casters 102. Maintenance personnel can use the stepped structure formed by the stacking seats 200 to climb to the required height. During climbing, toolboxes 300 can be pulled out as additional stepping stones as needed. The surface 303 increases stability and provides a larger stepping area. Upon reaching the work location, maintenance personnel can easily pull out the required toolbox 300 via the damping slide rail 204 and quickly retrieve the necessary tools from the placement hole 301 in the toolbox 300. During or after the operation, maintenance personnel can control the inspection robot 400 to conduct intelligent inspections of the substation equipment via remote control or a preset program. The thermal imager 401 and visible light camera 402 on the inspection robot 400 can capture the equipment status in real time, helping maintenance personnel to promptly identify potential faults or safety hazards. After the operation is completed, maintenance personnel return the used tools to their corresponding toolboxes 300, ensuring that the tools in the toolboxes 300 are neatly arranged for future use. If the tool cart needs to be moved to another area or stored, maintenance personnel can disassemble the stacking base 200 and disassemble the tool cart into smaller components for transport.

[0037] In summary, compared with existing technologies, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0038] By designing the stacking base 200 as a stackable unit with a built-in toolbox 300, tool storage and high-altitude operation functions are integrated, reducing the number and types of tools that maintenance personnel carry, while providing a convenient way to climb.

[0039] The stacking platform 200, arranged in a stepped shape, provides a large area for stepping, making it more stable and less prone to slipping, thus increasing the safety of maintenance personnel when working at heights. The number of stacking platforms 200 can be adjusted as needed to create steps of different heights, adapting to the inspection and maintenance of substations at different heights. The toolbox 300's categorized storage makes tool management more organized, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly find the tools they need and reducing the time spent searching for tools.

[0040] Therefore, although the present invention has been described herein with reference to specific embodiments thereof, freedom of modification, various changes and substitutions are also within the scope of the above disclosure, and it should be understood that in some cases, certain features of the present invention may be adopted without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention and without corresponding use of other features.
