Therefore, the traction beam structure can be applied to different coupling types of couplers, and the transition and change of new and old vehicle types can be realized.
[0037] Next, the traction beam structure is described in detail in combination with the drawings.
[0038] As shown in Figure 1 , the end beam module 1 is fixed at one end of the traction beam module 2, and in the embodiment, the two are welded and fixed to form a stable whole.
[0039] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the end beam module 1 includes a coupler mounting plate, a buffer plate 103, an end beam upper cover plate, an end beam lower cover plate 104 and the like, wherein the coupler mounting plate has an opening at the middle position, the opening is butted with the interface formed by the traction beam module 2; one buffer plate 103 is connected at each end of the coupler mounting plate, and the buffer plate 103 is fixed with the vehicle body.
[0040] In the embodiment, the direction of the head of the railway wagon is defined as the front direction, the installation side of the buffer plate 103 is the front side, and the other side is the back side (back side).
