The structural principle and common types of magnetic track brake are introduced.The problems existing in the direct wound integral magnetic track brake from the perspective of technology and performance are analyzed.An optimization scheme for a new structure is proposed and verified through analytical calculations and finite element electromagnetic simulation.The results show that the optimized magnetic track brake structure can reduce process difficulty and processing costs,improve service life,and improve performance by about 7.6%.
