This design not only improves the load-bearing capacity of the left cover plate 210, but also enhances its ability to adapt to complex working environments.

[0037] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it can be understood that the right cover plate 220 is connected with a right upper rotating arm 700 and a right lower rotating arm 710, both of which are rotatably installed on the rack 100, and the rotating shafts of the right upper rotating arm 700 and the right lower rotating arm 710 coincide in the vertical direction. The right cover plate 220 is connected with the rack 100 through two hinge points, which ensures the stability and synchronism of the right cover plate 220 during rotation. This design not only improves the load-bearing capacity of the right cover plate 220, but also enhances its ability to adapt to complex working environments.

[0040] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it can be understood that the rack 100 is provided with a plurality of position sensors 900, and the position sensors 900 are used to detect the positions of the left cover plate 210 and the right cover plate 220. The position sensors 900 are used to monitor the state of the head cover 200 in real time, and provide reliable data support for the safe operation of the motor train unit. The position sensors 900 can be selected from photoelectric sensors, contact switches, and ultrasonic distance sensors.

[0041] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it can be understood that the lower ends of the right lower rotating arm 710 and the left lower rotating arm 610 are both bolted with universal wheels 601, and the rack 100 is horizontally provided with a support surface 101, and the upper end of the support surface 101 abuts against the universal wheels 601. The universal wheels 601 play a role in assisting to support the left cover plate 210 and the right cover plate 220 in the vertical direction, ensuring the stability of the left cover plate 210 and the right cover plate 220 during movement or operation, and further improving the stability and durability of the whole device.

[0043] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it can be understood that the opening direction of the first fixed slot 410 and the second fixed slot 420 is the same as the running direction of the locking plate 400. Such a design makes the locking plate 400 more smooth when switching states, reduces mechanical wear, and prolongs the service life of the mechanism.

[0044] Referring to Figures 2 to 4As shown, it can be understood that the auxiliary driving device 500 comprises a screw rod 510 and a motor 520, the screw rod 510 is rotatably installed on the frame 100, the motor 520 is connected with the frame 100, the motor 520 is used for driving the screw rod 510 to rotate, the lower end of the locking plate 400 is fixedly connected with a nut 401, and the screw rod 510 is matched with the nut 401.
