The output end of the driving motor 818 is connected to a threaded rod 817 through a coupling. The outside of the threaded rod 817 is rotatably connected to a support plate 1 816 through a bearing. The outside of the support plate 1 816 is connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 804 by bolts, and a support column 819 is arranged on the outside of the threaded rod 817. The outside of the support column 819 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 804 on the same side, and the end of the support column 819 away from the sleeve 804 is in contact with one side of the front vehicle frame 2 clamping the mounting plate 1;The side of the partition plate 815 away from the front vehicle frame 2 is connected to the air pump 821 by bolts, the inner wall of the sleeve 804 is connected to the support plate 2 820 by bolts, the side of the support plate 2 820 away from the partition plate 815 is connected to the air bag 822 by bolts, the output end of the air pump 821 passes through the support plate 2 820 on the same side and is connected to the outside of the air bag 822 through a conduit, the outside of the air bag 822 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 804 on the same side, the side of the air bag 822 away from the sleeve 804 is connected to the contact plate 823 by bolts, the outside of the sleeve 804 is connected to two symmetrical bosses by bolts, the bosses are slidably connected to the guide rod 824, and the end of the guide rod 824 away from the sleeve 804 is connected to the outside of the contact plate 823 of the package by bolts. ;

[0029] Specifically, after the mounting plate 1 is fixed to the columnar pin 4 on the front vehicle frame 2, the torsion of the coil spring 813 is overcome to pull the blocking rod 812 out of the blocking iron block 814, and the locking ring 806 is pushed, so that the locking ring 806 overcomes the thrust of the spring 809 and slides on the limiting card 807 in the direction of the blocking rod 812, so that the arc-shaped rack 808 is released from the clamping of the outer gear ring 805, and the rotating shaft seat 801 is rotated, so that the rotating shaft seat 801 drives the sleeve 804 connected to the connecting frame 802 and the fixing plate 803 to rotate, so that the support column 819 in the sleeve 804 faces the front vehicle frame 2, and the locking ring 806 is released. Under the push of the spring 809, the locking ring 806 is reset, and the arc-shaped rack 808 is clamped with the outer gear ring 805 again, and the rotating shaft seat 80 1 stops rotating, the blocking rod 812 is released, the blocking rod 812 is engaged with the block 814 again and the spring 1 809 stops moving, the driving motor 818 is started, the driving motor 818 drives the threaded rod 817 to rotate, so that the threaded rod 817 pushes the support column 819 to rotate out of the sleeve 804 until it contacts the outside of the front vehicle frame 2, the driving motor 818 is turned off, and the air pump 821 is started.

[0030] In a specific application scenario, the uncoupling and separation module 8 is mainly suitable for the uncoupling and separation link in the uncoupling and separation process, that is, the uncoupling and separation module 8 uses the support column 819 and the airbag 822 to enable the device to use the system formed after the support column 819 contacts the front vehicle frame 2 as a force basis, and through the continuously expanding airbag 822, the rear vehicle frame 3 and the front vehicle frame 2 are pushed away quickly and stably, effectively ensuring the uncoupling success rate of the device.

[0031] It should be noted that the use of the locking ring 806 and the arc-shaped rack 808 allows the device to switch direction when selecting a force-bearing base, so that the force-bearing base where the support column 819 is located can be selected on a car with a larger weight, allowing the device to more easily push away the lighter car, thereby improving convenience.

The outside of the movable parts 915 on 09 are all clamped with the inner wall of the annular groove 917 on the same side, and the upper side of the movable parts 915 is connected to the short shaft 916 by bolts; the upper side of the base 909 is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 918 through a bearing, and the rotating frame 918 is provided with a curved groove 919, and the inner wall of the curved groove 919 is slidably connected to the outside of the short shaft 916, and the inner wall of the rotating frame 918 is connected to the coil spring 920 by bolts, and the end of the coil spring 920 away from the rotating frame 918 is connected to the upper side of the base 909 on the same side by bolts.

[0033] Specifically, the thrust of the second spring 907 is overcome to lift the arc groove 904 from the arc groove 904, so that the directional pin 905 releases the lock on the notch 903 on the steering wheel 902, and the steering wheel 902 is turned to make the steering wheel 902 drive the support frame 5 to rotate, so that the two support frames 5 close to the front vehicle frame 2 are rotated to above the columnar pin 4 on the front vehicle frame 2, and the directional pin 905 is released to make the directional pin 905 re-engage with the notch 903, and the support frame 5 no longer rotates, and the fixed pin 913 on the support frame 5 is pulled out, so that the mobile frame 910 slides in the narrow groove 911, so that the base 909 on the mobile frame 910 is located directly above the columnar pin 4, and the fixed pin 913 is inserted into the mobile frame 910. The movable frame 910 is fixed on the narrow groove 911 and no longer moves. The base 909 is aligned with the columnar pin 4 and inserted. The rotating frame 918 is rotated. The rotating frame 918 overcomes the torsion of the coil spring 920 and rotates, and the curved groove 919 pushes the short shaft 916 to move the movable member 915 out of the center of the base 909, so that the columnar pin 4 can be completely inserted into the base 909. The rotating frame 918 is released. Under the torsion of the coil spring 920, the movable member 915 is quickly reset, so that the movable member 915 is clamped and fixed with the annular groove 917 on the columnar pin 4, so that the mounting plate 1 is fixed on the front vehicle frame 2, and the two support frames 5 close to the rear vehicle frame 3 are not operated.
