[0008] The recovery power mechanism comprises an electric bolt, a fixed pulley, a heavy hammer and a heavy hammer guide pin. After the recovery steel cable passes through the electric bolt and wraps around the fixed pulley, the end of the recovery steel cable is fixedly connected to the heavy hammer.

[0009] The end of the weight away from the recovery cable has a bottom surface with a through hole, and the through hole is adapted to the weight guide pin so that the weight can slide along the weight guide pin without the two being separated.

[0010] The weight guide pin is fixed to the ground service arm.

[0011] The electric bolt comprises an electric bolt lock, a locking block and a locking block guide groove, wherein the locking block is installed in the locking block guide groove; and a lock tongue of the electric bolt lock can be inserted into or pulled out of the groove of the locking block.

[0012] In the non-separated state, the locking block is mechanically limited; when separated, the electric bolt lock executes the remote control command to retract the lock tongue, and the mechanical limit of the locking block is released.

[0013] In the non-separation state, the removal steel cable and the recovery steel cable are both in a tensioned state. When the remote control command is triggered, the locking tongue contracts, and the weight moves downward along the weight guide pin, driving the removal steel cable and the recovery steel cable to separate and pull the first electrical connector plug and the second electrical connector plug from the first socket and the second socket at the same time.

[0014] The load distribution frame is an isosceles triangle, the two bottom corners of the load distribution frame are respectively connected to the pull-out steel cables, and the top corner is connected to the recovery steel cable.

[0015] A lower swing steel cable is also connected to the top corner located on the upper side, and the other end of the lower swing steel cable is connected to a place on the outer wall of the ground service arm that is higher than the first electrical connector plug and the second electrical connector plug.

[0016] In the non-separated state, the lower swing steel cable plays a role in balancing the gravity of the load distribution frame; after separation, the lower swing steel cable plays a role in limiting the lower swing action.

[0017] (III) Beneficial effects

[0018] The arrow-ground separation and disengagement device of the electric connector of the present invention adopts a single electric bolt lock and a set of non-active power pulley weight mechanism to replace the transverse hydraulic swing arm system or electromechanical actuation system used in existing models. Since the highly mature electric bolt lock is used as the only single electric control actuator, the technical solution of the present invention is simple, highly reliable, easy to operate in practice, and has lower cost.
