Abstract:This paper introduces the characteristics of intercity EMU concept, and separately to the automatic couplers, semipermanent coupler main structure, main parameters, and the energy absorption ability of the coupler are described. Based on the one-dimensional dynamic model, the coupler force and other key parameters of each coupler buffer device were analyzed and calculated when the train impacted at 5 km/h, 15 km/h and 25 km/h respectively. The results meet the design requirements.
