[0057] Specifically, the outer periphery of the first plug 10, the outer periphery of the second plug 11 and the inner periphery of the opening are all circular, the outer periphery diameter of the first plug 10 is slightly larger than the inner periphery diameter of the opening 9 on the train body 1, the outer periphery diameter of the second plug 10 is slightly larger than the inner periphery diameter of the opening 9 on the train 2, when the train body 1 and the train 2 are separated, the first plug 10 can block the opening 9 on the train body 1 under the driving action of the first telescopic driving member, the second plug 11 can block the opening 9 on the train 2 under the driving action of the elastic assembly, the outside most severe natural environment can be isolated, and the influence on the train body 1 and the train 2 is avoided; the first plug 10 and the second plug 11 are both elastic plugs, and have certain rigidity, the shaft body 6 can be a flexible shaft, in the process of connecting the train body and the train, the convex part of the first plug 10 can be accurately abutted on the concave part of the second plug 11, the alignment is accurate and fast, and the stable operation of the train body 1 and the train 2 is not affected.

[0058] Preferably, the elastic assembly comprises a push rod 12 and a spring 13, one end of the spring 13 is connected with the inside of the train 2, the other end of the spring 13 is connected with one end of the push rod 12, the other end of the push rod 12 is connected with the second plug 11, and the locking mechanism 7 in the train 2 can lock the push rod 12 when the second plug 11 blocks the opening 9.

[0059] Specifically, when the train body 1 and the train 2 are separated, the spring 13 can push the push rod 12, so that the concave part and the convex part are not separated, when the second plug 11 reaches the opening 9 on the train 2 and is blocked by the collision body 8 on the train 2, the push rod 12 stops moving, at this time, under the action of the spring 13, the outer periphery of the second plug 11 is in close contact with the collision body 8 on the train 2, so as to block the opening 9 on the train 2, at the same time, the first plug 10 returns to the inside of the train body 1 under the driving action of the first telescopic driving member 5, and the outer periphery of the first plug 10 is in close contact with the collision body 8 on the train body 1, so as to block the opening 9 on the train body 1, and the influence of the outside environment on the connecting parts such as the push rod 12, the first telescopic driving member 5 and the spring 13 is prevented.

[0061] Preferably, the locking mechanism 7 comprises two second telescopic driving members 16 and two locking blocks 14, the two second telescopic driving members 16 are arranged on the two sides of the shaft body 6 respectively, and the two locking blocks 14 are connected with the output ends of the two second telescopic driving members 16 respectively.

[0062] Specifically, the second telescopic driving members 16 can be hydraulic telescopic driving members, pneumatic telescopic driving members or electric telescopic driving members. In the process of locking the shaft body 6 or the push rod 12, the two second telescopic driving members 16 can drive the two locking blocks 14 to clamp the shaft body 6 or the push rod 12, so as to achieve the locking of the shaft body 6 or the push rod 12.

[0063] Preferably, the train non-stop passenger boarding and alighting shuttle vehicle further comprises three clamping rings 15, one of which is sleeved on the push rod 12, and the other two are sleeved on the two sections of the shaft body 6. The two locking blocks 14 of the locking mechanism 7 can press the clamping rings 15.

[0064] Specifically, in the process of driving the two locking blocks 14 to clamp, the clamping rings 15 can be tightened between the two locking blocks 14, and the clamping rings 15 can tightly wrap the shaft body 6 or the push rod 12, so as to achieve the locking of the shaft body 6 or the push rod 12.

[0065] Preferably, the train non-stop passenger boarding and alighting shuttle vehicle further comprises two telescopic pedestrian passages 17 and two door bodies. One end of each of the two telescopic pedestrian passages 17 is connected with the two pedestrian entrances 4, and the other end of each of the two door bodies is connected with the two telescopic pedestrian passages 17.

[0066] Specifically, when the shuttle vehicle body 1 is separated from the train 2, the two door bodies are in a closed state, and the two telescopic pedestrian passages 17 are respectively retracted into the shuttle vehicle body 1 and the train 2. The two door bodies can isolate the influence of the worst natural environment on the shuttle vehicle body 1 and the train 2. When the shuttle vehicle body 1 is connected with the train 2, the two door bodies are in an open state, and the other ends of the two telescopic pedestrian passages 17 can be connected together, which has the characteristics of close combination, safety and reliability.

[0067] Preferably, the train non-stop passenger boarding and alighting shuttle vehicle further comprises a control system, which is electrically connected with the two locking mechanisms 7 and the first telescopic driving member 5. The control system is used to control the opening and closing of the two locking mechanisms 7 and the first telescopic driving member 5.

[0068] A pressure sensor is electrically connected with the first telescopic driving member 5 and the two locking mechanisms. The pressure sensor is arranged on the convex part or the concave part. When the convex part is pressed into the concave part, the pressure sensor can control the two locking mechanisms 7 to loosen and control the first telescopic driving member to drive the shaft body 6 to pass through the two openings 9.

[0069] Specifically, the specific connection process of the shuttle vehicle and the train 2 is as follows:

[0070] When the front end of the shuttle car body 1 gradually approaches the tail end of the train 2, the convex part of the first plug 10 on the shuttle car body 1 approaches the concave part of the second plug of the train 2. Due to the special shape of the convex part and the concave part, the convex part and the concave part will be accurately aligned. Since the shaft body is a flexible shaft, it has good elasticity, which can make the convex part swing along the center point. Also, the first plug 10 and the second plug 11 are both elastic plugs and have a certain rigidity. During the gradual approach and close combination of the convex part and the concave part, they will automatically adjust and automatically align. A pressure sensor is installed on the convex part or the concave part. When the convex part is pressed towards the concave part during the pressing process, the pressure sensor reaches a predetermined pressure. The pressure sensor can control the two locking mechanisms 7 to loosen at this time. The collision surfaces of the two collision bodies 8 are tightly combined. Since the two collision bodies 8 are elastic collision bodies and have a certain rigidity, their combined surfaces can provide safe and stable protection for the connection and separation processes of the shuttle car and the train 2, preventing external harsh environments from interfering with the connection and separation processes. At the same time, the pressure sensor controls the first telescopic drive 5 to start working, and the positive pressure drives the shaft body 6 to move in the direction of the train 2. The convex part will push the concave part and the push rod 12 to move away from the shuttle car body 1, and compress the spring 13. When the push rod 12 moves to the predetermined position, the control system starts the two locking mechanisms 7 to lock the two sections of the shaft body 6. At the same time, the first telescopic drive 5 stops working, completing the connection process of the shuttle car body 1 and the train 2. Since the collision surfaces of the two collision bodies 8 are tightly combined, they can prevent the most adverse environments from affecting the connection process of the shuttle car body 1 and the train 2. The first telescopic drive 5, the shaft body 6, the convex part and other components can work normally and are not affected by external environmental factors.

[0071] Specifically, the specific separation process of the shuttle car and the train 2 is as follows:

[0072] When the shuttle bus body 1 is to separate from the train 2, the control system signal command causes the two locking mechanisms 7 to release the two sections of the axle 6 respectively, and then the first telescopic drive 5 is activated, pushing the axle 6 away from the train 2 with reverse pressure; at the same time, the spring 13 pushes the push rod 12 to prevent the concave and convex parts from separating; when the second plug 11 reaches the opening 9 on the train 2 and is blocked by the collision body 8 on the train 2, the push rod 12 stops moving; at this time, under the action of the spring 13, the outer periphery of the second plug 11 is in close contact with the collision body 8 on the train 2 to seal the opening 9 on the train 2. At this time, the first telescopic drive 5 continues to provide reverse pressure, the axle 6 continues to move, and the first plug 10 returns to the interior of the shuttle bus body 1 under the driving action of the first telescopic drive 5. When the outer periphery of the first plug 10 is in close contact with the collision body 8 on the shuttle bus body 1, the first telescopic drive component 5 is stopped to seal the opening 9 on the shuttle bus body 1, thus protecting the connecting components such as the push rod 12, the first telescopic drive component 5, and the spring 13 from the influence of the external environment. Then, the control system controls the two locking mechanisms 7 to lock onto the axle 6 and the push rod 12 respectively, ensuring the sealing and reliability of the joint between the outer periphery of the second plug 11 and the collision body 8 on the train 2, while also ensuring the sealing and reliability of the joint between the outer periphery of the first plug 10 and the collision body 8 on the shuttle bus body 1. Then, the shuttle bus body 1 and the train 2 retract their respective telescopic pedestrian passages 17, and the shuttle bus body 1 and the train 2 are separated, completing the separation of the shuttle bus body 1 and the train 2.

[0073] like Figures 5-7 As shown, a shuttle system for passengers to board and alight on a train without stopping is provided. The shuttle system includes:

[0074] Specifically, a shuttle bus for passengers to board and alight on a train without stopping at the station; there are multiple shuttle buses.

[0075] Main track 18, the front end of one of the shuttle car bodies 1 is detachably connected to the rear end of the train 2, and enters the main track 18 at the starting station;

[0076] Multiple branch tracks 19 are respectively set at the platform positions of multiple stations 20 through which the train 2 passes. The two ends of each branch track 19 are connected to the main track 18, and the remaining shuttle car bodies 1 are respectively set on the multiple branch tracks 19.

[0077] Specifically, the shuttle process involves the orderly disembarkation and alighting of passengers:

[0078] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in the operation of the train 2 and the shuttle car body 1 connected together towards the terminal, when reaching one of the stations 20, the boarding passengers on the shuttle car body 1 enter the train 2 through the pedestrian door 4 at the front end of the shuttle car body 1 and the pedestrian door 4 at the tail end of the train 2, and seat according to the numbers; after all the boarding passengers in the shuttle car body 1 enter the train 2, the passengers who will get off at the station 20 on the train 2 enter the shuttle car body 1 from the train 2 and seat according to the numbers; since the seat information on the shuttle car body 1 is added to the ticket information when buying the train ticket, the passengers can seat according to the numbers and orderly take the train; when the train 2 and the shuttle car body 1 are about to reach the turnout between the main track 18 and the branch track 19, the shuttle car body 1 is separated from the train 2, the train 2 continues to run along the main track 18, and the shuttle car body 1 changes tracks at the turnout between the main track 18 and the branch track 19 and runs along the branch track 19.

[0079] At the same time, the shuttle car body 1 parked on the branch track 19 waits for all the boarding passengers on the platform to get on the train according to the tickets and seat according to the numbers, and then starts to run away from the station on time along the branch track 19; when the shuttle car body 1 changes tracks at the turnout between the main track 18 and the branch track 19, it catches up with the train 2 running along the main track 18 and is connected with the train 2, and the train 2 and the shuttle car body 1 are combined and continue to run along the main track 18; in the operation of the train 2 and the shuttle car body 1 combined, the boarding passengers on the shuttle car body 1 enter the train 2 and seat according to the numbers; after all the boarding passengers on the shuttle car body 1 enter the train 2, the shuttle car body 1 becomes empty and is replaced by the shuttle car body 1 for the passengers who will get off at the next station; then, all the passengers who will get off at the next station also enter the shuttle car body 1 according to the tickets and seat according to the numbers, and when all the passengers who will get off at the next station in the train 2 enter the shuttle car body 1, the shuttle car body 1 has been changed into the shuttle car body 1 for the passengers who will get off at the next station, and the process is repeated in turn until the train 2 reaches the terminal station.

[0080] Specifically, the shuttle car is replaced station by station:

[0081] For example, Figure 7As shown, the train 2 from the starting station to the terminal station through a number of intermediate stations, different train, the number of platforms and stations 20 are different; each station 20 has a shuttle car body 1 spare, so the shuttle car body 1 should have a uniform standard, can be used for each station, each platform, in order to clearly write the shuttle car shuttle process, the number of stations 2 will be set to five, five stations 2 are station A, station B, station C, station H, station M, station N, the number of shuttle cars will be set to seven, the shuttle car body 1 of the seven shuttle cars is shuttle car body y, shuttle car body a, shuttle car body b, shuttle car body c, shuttle car body h, shuttle car body m, shuttle car body n, the number of trains 2 is set to one, and the train 2 is train X;

[0082] The train X runs from the starting station to the terminal station, and needs to stop at stations A, B, C, H, M and N in sequence. When the train X departs from the starting station along the main track 18, the passengers on the train seat according to the number, and the tickets of the passengers are marked with the seats of the train and the seats of the upper and lower shuttle car bodies. The tail end of the train X is connected with the shuttle car y. When the train X arrives at the first station A, the passengers who get off at the station A need to enter the shuttle car y and seat according to the number. Then, the shuttle car y is separated from the train X, and reaches the station A along the branch track of the station A through the turnout, and stops at the platform of the station A. The passengers who get off the shuttle car y get off and leave the station. After the train X is separated from the shuttle car y, the train X continues to run along the main track 18. The shuttle car a which stops at the platform of the station A needs to run to the main track 18 along the branch track 19 of the station A through the turnout before the shuttle car y reaches the platform of the station A, and catch up with the train X and connect with the tail end of the train X. Then, the train X continues to run along the main track with the shuttle car a. After the shuttle car a is connected with the tail end of the train X, the passengers on the train X at the station A enter the train X through the pedestrian passage 4 and seat according to the number. At this time, the shuttle car a is empty and runs with the train X towards the station B. Then, the passengers on the train X who need to get off at the station B enter the shuttle car a through the pedestrian passage 4 and seat according to the number. When the train X is about to arrive at the station B, the shuttle car a is separated from the train X and reaches the station B through the turnout along the branch track 19 of the station B, and then stops at the platform of the station B. After the train X is separated from the shuttle car a, the train X continues to run along the main track 18 towards the station C. At the same time, the shuttle car b which originally stops at the station B has already left the platform of the station B before the shuttle car a reaches the platform of the station B, and enters the main track 18 through the branch track 19 of the station B and the turnout. Then, the shuttle car b is connected with the tail end of the train X. The passengers on the shuttle car b enter the train X and seat according to the number. Then, the passengers on the train X who need to get off at the station C are transferred to the platform of the station C by the shuttle car b. At the same time, the passengers on the train X at the station C get on the train X by the shuttle car c. Similarly, the rest is the same, …, the shuttle car m transfers the passengers who get off at the station N to the station N, and the shuttle car n transfers the passengers who get on at the station N to the train X, and enters the platform of the terminal station with the train X, so as to complete the running of the train X from the starting station to the terminal station. The train X completes the running without stopping at the stations in the middle, and the passengers can smoothly get on and off the train.

[0083] The train X completes the running without stopping at the stations in the middle, and the passengers can smoothly get on and off the train.

[0084] The train X completes the running without stopping at the stations in the middle, and the passengers can smoothly get on and off the train.

[0085] As Figure 8 shown, a method for transferring passengers on and off a train without stopping at stations, using a system for transferring passengers on and off a train without stopping at stations:
