Wheel cavities are located on the outer side of the drive wheels, effectively fixing the contact between the drive wheels and the ground, ensuring transmission stability and reliability. Because the moving components are partially encased on the outside of the drive wheels, operators can easily control the movement direction and speed of the base through the moving components, achieving precise control of the robot system, making the operation of the base simpler and more flexible. The wheel cavities on the outer side of the drive wheels protect them from external environmental influences, extending their service life. Simultaneously, the array of six drive wheels increases the contact area between the base and the ground, distributing the load of the entire system, improving the durability and stability of the base, and enhancing the system's stability, transmission efficiency, and ease of operation. This also strengthens the system's durability, providing crucial support for the normal operation of the robot handling system. Attached Figure Description

[0027] There are two limit members 10 arrays. The inner position of the limit member 10 is arranged in a ring array of balls 19. The outer position of the balls 19 is provided with limit holes 20. The balls 19 are embedded in the limit member 10. The diameter of the balls 19 in the array corresponds to the diameter of the slide rail 2.

[0029] The oil outlet 17 is arranged in a ring array, and the oil filling port 14 is located on the upper right side of the lubrication component 9. The oil cavity 16 is filled with lubricating oil.

[0030] The base 1 has a movable component 8 on the left and right sides at the bottom. The movable component 8 has a drive wheel 11 array inside, and the drive wheel 11 array has six.

[0031] A wheel cavity 12 is provided on the outer side of the drive wheel 11, and a drive shaft 13 is provided in the middle of the drive wheel 11. The moving component 8 is partially wrapped around the outer side of the drive wheel 11.

[0032] The base 1 is slidably connected to the slide rail 2, and both the base 1 and the slide rail 2 are made of steel.

[0033] In this embodiment, the specific implementation steps of a robot handling system for electricity meter verification are as follows: The device is placed at the location where the electricity meter needs to be verified, ensuring the base 1 is stable and the external power supply connection is normal. The switch on the control component 3 is turned on to start the system, activating the verification robot 6 and other related components. The position and posture of the verification robot 6 are adjusted through the operation on the control component 3 to ensure it can accurately test the electricity meter. The verification robot 6's testing program is started, allowing it to begin testing and calibrating the electricity meter. The testing process is monitored in real time to ensure accuracy and completeness. Testing data, including various parameters of the electricity meter and testing results, is recorded. After testing is completed, the testing program is stopped, the testing results are saved and a verification report is generated. The system is shut down, and the verification robot and base are cleaned to ensure the equipment is in good working condition, including maintenance of components and moving parts.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 4-5 As shown, there are two limiters 10 arrays. Inside the limiters 10, there are balls 19 arranged in a ring array. There are limit holes 20 on the outer side of the balls 19. The balls 19 are embedded in the limiters 10. The diameter of the balls 19 in the array corresponds to the diameter of the slide rail 2. The balls 19 are rotatably connected to the limiters 10. Inside the lubrication assembly 9, there is a rod inlet 15 in the middle position.

[0035] Preferably, the design of the ball bearing 19 enables a rotary connection between the limiting component 10 and the slide rail 2. This mechanism provides a more flexible and stable motion, effectively reducing friction and wear, and extending the service life of the robot system. The lubrication component 9 is internally equipped with an inlet 15, an inner ring 18, an oil chamber 16, and an oil outlet 17. These designs ensure that the rolling components receive sufficient lubrication during operation, reducing friction, improving the smoothness and efficiency of the motion, and also reducing wear and noise. The lubrication component 9 is equipped with an oil filler 14, which facilitates the addition and maintenance of lubricating oil by operators, ensuring the lubrication conditions required for long-term stable operation of the system, improving the reliability, stability, and service life of the system, and providing reliable support and guarantee for the calibration process of the electricity meter.

[0036] like Figure 1-3As shown, a movable component 8 is provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of the base 1. A drive wheel 11 is arranged in an array inside the movable component 8.

During robot movement, a stable base 1 effectively reduces vibration and sway, ensuring the stability of the entire system. The drive wheel 11 directly contacts the ground and transmits power through the drive shaft 13, improving transmission efficiency and reducing energy loss. A wheel cavity 12 is provided on the outer side of the drive wheel 11, which effectively fixes the drive wheel 11 in contact with the ground, ensuring the stability and reliability of transmission. Because the moving component partially encloses the outside of the drive wheel 11, the operator can easily move the moving component 8. The movement speed of the base 1 is controlled to achieve precise control of the robot system, making the operation of the base 1 simpler and more flexible. The wheel cavity 12 set on the outer side of the drive wheel 11 can protect the drive wheel 11 from the influence of the external environment and extend the service life of the drive wheel 11. At the same time, the array of six drive wheels 11 increases the contact area between the base 1 and the ground, distributes the load of the entire system, improves the durability and stability of the base 1, and improves the stability, transmission efficiency and ease of operation of the system. It also enhances the durability of the system and provides an important guarantee for the normal operation of the robot handling system.

[0038] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the base 1 and the slide rail 2 are slidably connected, and both the base 1 and the slide rail 2 are made of steel.

[0039] Optionally, steel materials typically have high strength and hardness, enabling them to withstand greater loads and pressures, ensuring that the base and slide rails are not easily deformed or worn during operation, thereby extending their service life. The structure of steel materials is stable and not easily affected by the external environment, maintaining the geometric shape and size stability of the base 1 and slide rail 2, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the system operation.
