A charging port is provided on the housing 21 , and a charging connector is located in the charging port so that the charging connector is exposed and can be plugged into a charger.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a portable locomotive shunting operation protection device includes ground equipment and onboard equipment. The ground equipment includes a ground server and a ground differential base station, which are connected via a VPN.

[0031] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the external locator 2 includes a housing 21, which houses a battery, a Beidou positioning module, a third communication module, a charging circuit, and a charging connector. The third communication module is a Bluetooth chip. Housing 21 is equipped with a GNSS antenna 23 and a magnetic structure 22, which consists of one or more magnets mounted on the outer wall of housing 21. The GNSS antenna 23 is electrically connected to the Beidou positioning module, which is in turn electrically connected to the third communication module.

The intelligent display terminal 1 communicates with the ground server via its first communication module for data exchange. The ground server is connected to a ground differential base station via a VPN, which is in turn connected to the Beidou positioning system. This allows for comprehensive calculations to obtain the locomotive's precise positioning information and upload it to the ground server. The ground server then integrates the locomotive positioning information with the station map, compares it, and calculates it to obtain comprehensive protection information. This information is then output to the intelligent display terminal 1, which displays the station map and the locomotive's precise location information. In this way, when performing locomotive shunting operations, drivers can effectively avoid accidents such as squeezing switches, crossing station boundaries, damaging approaches, and collisions, effectively reducing shunting risks.

[0033] In summary, by using this utility model, drivers can effectively avoid accidents such as squeezing switches, crossing station boundaries, damaging routes, and collisions when performing locomotive shunting operations, effectively reducing the risk of shunting.
