A robotic arm control module 7 is provided on the intelligent platform vehicle body to work in conjunction with the robotic arm. A temperature-sensing robotic claw 1 is driven at the output end of the robotic arm. The temperature-sensing robotic claw 1 includes a robotic claw and a temperature sensor located within the claw. When the robotic claw grips the power distribution network cable… The sensing end of the temperature sensor forms an inductive connection with the cable. Both the mechanical claw and the temperature sensor are electrically connected to the microcontroller 12 installed at the bottom of the intelligent platform vehicle body. The microcontroller 12 is electrically connected to the signal feedback display screen 10 mounted on the intelligent platform vehicle body. The microcontroller 12 is also wirelessly connected to the external user terminal via a wireless communication device. The mechanical arm, which is composed of servo motor 2, causes the temperature-sensing mechanical claw 1 to extend and retract to capture the materials used in the power distribution network and detect their temperature. The measured temperature data and real-time image are transmitted to the microcontroller 12 for processing to obtain more accurate data, which is then transmitted to the signal feedback display screen 10 and the external user terminal.
[0022] As a preferred embodiment 2, the intelligent platform vehicle body includes a double-layer chassis. The bottom four corners of the bottom chassis are provided with moving components, and the moving components are symmetrical about the middle position of the chassis. The top four corners of the bottom chassis are provided with ultrasonic sensing components. The ultrasonic sensing components are linked with the moving components through a microcontroller 12, which is located at the top middle position of the bottom chassis.
[0023] Each of the aforementioned moving components includes a metal mounting plate 14 that is fixedly fitted to the chassis. A stepper motor 15 is fixed on the metal mounting plate 14, and the output end of each stepper motor 15 passes through the metal mounting plate 14 and is connected to the corresponding Mecanum wheel 13 for transmission. This facilitates control and detailed adjustments to the operation, and the Mecanum wheel 13 allows the trolley to rotate and translate in place.
[0024] Each of the ultrasonic sensing components includes an ultrasonic support 9 that is fixedly fitted to the chassis, and an ultrasonic sensor 8 is mounted on the ultrasonic support 9. This improves obstacle avoidance capabilities.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment 3, a camera 16 is mounted on the top of the lowest chassis located on one side of the microcontroller 12. The camera 16's imaging end points horizontally towards the side where the temperature-sensing robotic claw 1 is located. An image recognition processor 5 is mounted on the top of the uppermost chassis. The camera 16 and the image recognition processor 5 are electrically connected, and the image recognition processor 5 is linked with the moving components through the microcontroller 12. The camera 16 facilitates remote control and serves as the image acquisition end for image recognition. By using the image recognition processor 5 for image recognition, obstacle avoidance and movement towards the cable can be achieved, facilitating the robotic claw's alignment with the cable.
[0026] Preferably, the image recognition processor 5 can be an existing Orange Pie motherboard equipped with an existing image recognition algorithm.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment 4, a gyroscope 11 is installed on the top of the lowest layer of the chassis located on one side of the microcontroller 12. The gyroscope 11 is linked with the moving components through the microcontroller 12. This further ensures the smooth operation of the intelligent vehicle, guarantees straight-line movement, and prevents deviation.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment 5, the signal feedback display screen 10 is located on the top of the lowest chassis for easy information display.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment 7, there are five servo motors 2, forming a five-degree-of-freedom robotic arm. This ensures the robotic arm's degrees of freedom.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model:
[0032] The device allows the vehicle to input its location information and route. The camera 16 can observe in real time from the first-level chassis. The camera 16's shooting enables remote control. The images captured by the camera 16 are processed and recognized by the image recognition processor 5. When the camera 16 detects an obstacle, it can promptly feed the information back to the microcontroller 12, which then issues commands to the moving components to adjust the direction of travel and automatically avoid obstacles. The Mecanum wheel 13 translates and rotates to the locked position. The mechanical arm, composed of the servo motor 2, causes the temperature-sensing mechanical claw 1 to extend and retract to capture the materials used in the power distribution network and detect their temperature. The measured temperature data and real-time images are transmitted to the microcontroller 12 for processing to obtain more accurate data, which is then transmitted to the signal feedback display screen 10 and the external user terminal.
