Abstract

There is a growing concern about the safety and stability of high-speed EMUs’ operation while it’s running speed rises. As the significant part of the high-speed unit, the tight-lock coupler and buffer are demanded by various requirements. To ensure the quality and property, comprehensive experiments of different parts of tight-lock coupler are imperative. This article focuses on the structure of equipment, principle of operation and measurement of test-bed for testing the performance aspects of overhauled tight-lock coupler and buffer. The test-bed could be used to do the connection, de-coupling experiments of coupler in different conditions and to check the property of coupler and buffer. Furthermore, with the intelligent control, survey and management of computer, the related experimental data could be synchronized displayed and analyzed in the LCD-panel of the console. It has been confirmed that the test-bed could meet the requirement of field test after successfully used in Chongqing rail transit line 3 in recent years.
