[0032] The negative electrode of the coil of the relay K1 is connected to one end of the normally closed contact of the proximity switch SQ1, the other end of the normally closed contact of the proximity switch SQ1 is connected to one end of the normally closed contact of the proximity switch SQ2, the negative electrode of the diode V1 is connected to the positive electrode of the coil of the relay K1, and the positive electrode of the diode V1 is connected to the negative electrode of the coil of the relay K1; one end of the audible and visual alarm indicating lamp H1 is connected to the positive electrode of the coil of the relay K1, the other end of the audible and visual alarm indicating lamp H1 is connected to the movable contact 4 pin of the relay K1, one end of the normally closed contact of the proximity switch SQ2 is connected to the static contact 5 pin of the relay K1, and the movable contact 4 pin, the static contact 5 pin and the static contact 3 pin of the relay K1 constitute a single-blade double-throw switch K1B.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] In this embodiment, the circuit described in Example 1 is used, and transformer T1 is a step-down transformer with a turns ratio of 380:220.

[0037] The safety interlock alarm indicator circuit is powered by battery D1. During the use of the ground static power supply for the unpowered towed aircraft, the input interface X1 receives 380V / 50Hz AC mains power, which is stepped down to 220V / 50Hz by transformer T1 to power charger U1. Charger U1 charges battery D1, and battery D1 stores energy.

[0038] In the safety interlock alarm indication circuit, proximity switch SQ1 is the status switch for the tow bar position of the unpowered trailer. When SQ1 is closed, it indicates that the tow bar is in the towing position and the trailer is being towed. Proximity switch SQ2 is the status switch for the output cable plug position. When SQ2 is closed, it indicates that the power output cable is pulled out and the power is plugged into the aircraft. The normally closed contacts of proximity switches SQ1 and SQ2 are connected in series. When the tow bar is in the towing position, the trailer is being towed, and the power output cable is pulled out and the power is plugged into the aircraft, the audible and visual alarm light H1 emits an audible and visual alarm, reminding the operator that the unpowered towed aircraft ground static transformer is in use and towing is prohibited. At the same time, the dry contact signal of the output interface X2 is transmitted to the power control module M1, and the power supply actively cuts off the power output to prevent cable pulling accidents.

[0039] When SQ1 is in the off state, the tow bar is in the upright state, the trailer is in the non-towing state, the audible and visual alarm light H1 will not emit an audible and visual alarm because there is no power supply circuit, and the ground static transformer power supply of the towed aircraft can work normally to supply power.

[0040] When SQ2 is in the off state, the indicator output cable plug is in the retracted state, the power supply is not plugged into the aircraft power supply, the audible and visual alarm light H1 will not emit an audible and visual alarm because there is no power supply circuit, and the towed aircraft ground static power supply can be used for towing.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
