7. The automatic coupling coupler for an aerial rail vehicle as claimed in claim 1, wherein: the bidirectional buffer system comprises a rotatable rubber metal spherical hinge, an outer sleeve of the rotatable rubber metal spherical hinge is clamped in a spherical hinge seat, the spherical hinge seat is connected with a bidirectional buffer connecting plate into a whole, and the bidirectional buffer connecting plate is connected with the coupler seat through a fastener; the core shaft of the rotatable rubber metal spherical hinge is arranged on the bidirectional buffer base through the supports at the two ends to form a rotatable bidirectional buffer system with bidirectional buffer function.
8. The automatic coupling coupler for an aerial rail vehicle as claimed in claim 7, wherein: and centering reset springs are arranged at the two ends of the bidirectional buffer connecting plate and the bidirectional buffer base, and the centering reset springs control the horizontal posture of the coupler body to ensure the reset centering of the coupler.
9. The automatic coupling coupler for an aerial rail vehicle as claimed in claim 7, wherein: the bottom of the lower part of the core shaft of the rotatable rubber metal spherical hinge is provided with a bracket which supports the weight of the coupler, improves the overall rigidity of the coupler and prevents the coupler from declining and shaking.
10. The automatic coupling coupler for an aerial rail vehicle as claimed in claim 2, wherein: the finished coupler connection comprises the electrical connection of vehicles and vehicles, and when the coupler connection is finished through the rotation action of the coupler, an electrical line between two vehicles is also connected through an electrical automatic connecting device; the electrical connection comprises strong and weak electrical connection of the vehicle; all strong and weak currents are integrated in the electric automatic connecting device, the electric automatic connecting device is arranged above the car coupler, all electric lines are installed in a movable electric connection plug box, and the electric connection plug box is pushed by an electric connection cylinder to connect the electric lines above two vehicles.
