[0015] The normally open contact 2 of the unhooking control relay KU1 is connected to the normally closed contact 1 of the unhooking control relay K3. The normally closed contact 2 of the unhooking control relay K3 is connected to the cathode of the diode D4.

The 24V DC power supply is connected to the TCMS IO port through the normally closed contact 3 / 4 of the unhooking control relay K2, the contact 3 / 4 of the connecting surface limit switch S2, and the spindle limit switch S1.
[0019] This invention provides a control method for the coupling and uncoupling control circuit of a rail transit vehicle trolley coupler:
[0020] Coupling control method: When two trains are coupled, the normally closed contact 3 / 4 of the uncoupling control relay K2, the contact 3 / 4 of the main shaft limit switch S1 and the contact 3 / 4 of the coupling surface limit switch S2 are all closed, the coupling indicator light (LED2) is powered on and illuminated, and a high-level signal of coupling status is input to the TCMS IO port.
[0021] Unhooking control method: After pressing the unhooking button, the coil of the unhooking control relay KU1 is energized, the normally open contact 1 / 2 of the unhooking control relay KU1 is closed, and the unhooking indicator light (LED1) lights up;
[0022] When the coil of the unhooking control relay K1 is energized, the normally open contact 1 / 2 of the unhooking control relay K1 closes, and the unhooking command signal is input to the TCMS IO port;

When the coil of the unhooking control relay K2 is de-energized, the normally open contact 1 / 2 of the unhooking control relay K2 opens, and the unhooking is completed.
[0027] The technical effects of this invention are as follows:
[0028] (1) The present invention enables the rapid completion of train coupling and uncoupling operations in a short period of time, meeting the on-site operational needs.
[0029] (2) This invention has the advantages of high operational efficiency and adaptability to on-site operation needs. By optimizing the coupling and uncoupling control logic, it realizes the rapid completion of train coupling and uncoupling operations. When coupling, the coupling status can be quickly fed back through contact linkage. When uncoupling, only the uncoupling button needs to be pressed to trigger the orderly action of relays, solenoid valves and time delay relays to complete the entire process of electrical unlocking and mechanical uncoupling. No complicated operation steps are required, which greatly shortens the operation time and fully meets the operation needs of high-density operation and rapid dispatch on site.
[0030] (3) The circuit of the present invention is simple and reliable, with precise control and clear status feedback. The uncoupling control circuit simplifies the circuit structure, reduces fault nodes, and improves the stability of long-term operation by reasonably arranging components such as relays, diodes, and limit switches. The circuit can not only accurately control the solenoid valve, time delay relay and other actuators to complete the core actions of coupling and uncoupling, but also intuitively display the operation status through coupling indicator (LED2) and uncoupling indicator (LED1). At the same time, it can provide real-time feedback of high-level signal of coupling status and high and low-level signal of uncoupling command to the driver's control panel through the TCMSIO port, so that the driver can clearly understand the working status of the coupler, effectively guide the standardized operation of coupling and uncoupling, and reduce the risk of operational errors.
