[0009] 2) If the battery is low on power, when the train is activated, the battery undervoltage relay detects that the battery voltage is lower than the termination discharge voltage, and the normally open contacts of the train activation relay cannot be closed, resulting in the non-permanent bus control contactor coil being unable to receive power; at this time, the auxiliary emergency start switch is pressed, the emergency start function of the auxiliary power supply system is turned on, and power is supplied to the vehicle's non-permanent bus. The auxiliary power supply system also obtains external control power. At this time, the vehicle's DC power is provided to the non-permanent bus control contactor coil through the auxiliary contacts of the auxiliary emergency start switch, thereby closing the main contacts of the non-permanent bus control contactor; at this time, the auxiliary emergency start switch is released, and the auxiliary power supply system supplies power to the non-permanent bus, and also realizes the function of charging the low-power battery, thereby realizing the train activation procedure.

[0010] The present invention arranges the main contact of the non-permanent bus control contactor between the auxiliary power supply system and the battery, and adds a non-permanent bus control contactor coil power supply circuit.

The auxiliary contact 1 of the auxiliary emergency start switch is connected between the non-permanent bus control contactor coil and the first diode VD02 through the second diode VD03. The KM01 coil is forced to be powered when the battery is undervoltage. The DC110V non-permanent bus negative line 6 is all DC The 110V load provides a negative line circuit, and the battery 5 is used to provide power when the train is activated and to provide power for the vehicle's emergency load when the charger fails. The battery undervoltage relay K02 coil is powered by the battery and controlled by the K01 state. When the train is activated, the K01 contact is closed, and K02 detects whether the battery voltage meets the power supply requirements. When the voltage meets the requirements, the K02 contact state is closed, and when the voltage does not meet the requirements, the K02 contact state is disconnected; the non-permanent bus control contactor KM01 coil is controlled by the K02 contact state, and its contact state can control whether the battery can supply power to the non-permanent bus and whether the charger (+B terminal) can charge the battery; the auxiliary emergency starting switch S01 is used to start the emergency starting power supply in the auxiliary power supply system, and its auxiliary contact 1 controls the DC110V non-permanent bus positive line 3 and the KM01 coil to be forced into conduction, thereby supplying power to the KM01 contactor coil.

The normally open contact of K02 is closed, so that the KM01 coil is energized and the main contact is closed. The battery supplies power to the non-permanent bus, thereby providing external control power for the auxiliary power system, thereby realizing the train activation procedure.

[0016] 2) If the battery is low on power, when the train is activated, K02 detects that the battery voltage is lower than the termination discharge voltage, and the normally open contact of K02 cannot be closed, resulting in the KM01 coil being unable to receive power; at this time, the auxiliary emergency start switch S01 is pressed, the emergency start function of the auxiliary power system is turned on and supplies power to the vehicle's non-permanent busbar, and the auxiliary power system also receives external control power.
