A detector 111 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the frame 101. A broadcast 112 is fixedly connected to one outer surface of the detector 111. The internal components of the signal transmitter 109 and the positioner 110 are electrically connected to the interior of the detector 111. The frame 101 provides structural support, the slide 102 is used for the sliding movement of the walking wheels 104 to ensure the robot runs smoothly on the power line, the fixed wheels 103 are responsible for providing guidance and support for sliding, and the walking wheels 104 achieve precise power transmission and motion control through the transmission component 105.

[0026] The transmission assembly 105 includes a protective shell 105a. A drive motor 105b is fixedly connected to one outer surface of the protective shell 105a. A drive pulley 105c is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 105b. A transmission belt 105e is provided on the outer surface of the drive pulley 105c. A driven pulley 105d is provided on the other side of the inner wall of the transmission belt 105e. One end of both the drive pulley 105c and the driven pulley 105d is fixedly connected to one end of the traveling wheel 104. A slider 105f is fixedly connected to the middle of one outer surface of the protective shell 105a. A lead screw 108 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 107. The lower end of the lead screw 108 is rotatably connected to the inside of the frame 101. The outer surface of the lead screw 108 is threadedly connected to the inside of the slider 105f. The drive motor 105b drives the active pulley 105c to rotate. The active pulley 105c transmits power to the driven pulley 105d through the transmission belt 105e, thereby driving the walking wheel 104 to move.

The walking wheel 104, through the connecting block at one end, is slidably connected to the slide groove 102, achieving precise positioning and smooth movement along the slide groove 102. The multiple rubber anti-slip blocks 106 fixed to the outer surface of the walking wheel 104 can generate strong friction with the cable during movement, preventing slippage and enhancing operational stability. Even in complex environments, it can effectively ensure movement accuracy and reliability. The servo motor 107 and drive motor 105b are electrically connected internally through the detector 111. The control module built into the detector 111 is responsible for collecting operational data in real time and issuing corresponding commands, coordinating the actions of the two motors, enabling the robot to autonomously complete precise movement and path adjustment in complex environments.
[0028] During use, the cable is first placed between the traveling wheel 104 and the fixed wheel 103. Then, the servo motor 107 is started, which drives the traveling wheel 104 to move along the slide groove 102 via the lead screw 108, thereby fixing the device on the cable. Then, the drive motor 105b is started, which drives the active pulley 105c to rotate. The active pulley 105c transmits power to the driven pulley 105d through the transmission belt 105e, thereby driving the traveling wheel 104 to move. The detector 111 is set at the bottom of the frame 101, and multiple devices are fixedly connected to the upper part of the frame 101 to maintain the balance of the device, reduce the impact of wind, and improve the stability and convenience of use.
