the system is electrified to control the first driving unit to work, the towed body moves along the cable collecting direction, the towed body decelerates after being recovered to a certain length, the second driving unit is controlled to work, the trolley body is driven to move along the first guide rail pair on the trolley base (3) towards the cable arranging direction until the towed body moves to the safety limiting device on the first guide rail pair, and the towed body continues to be recovered at a low speed to the safety limiting device; in the process, the towed body is in a freely-recovered state;
controlling the third driving unit to start working in a torque control mode, and continuously recovering the first driving unit at a low speed; the guide head assembly (4) moves towards the cable retracting direction along a second guide rail pair on the retracting pulley (5) under the driving of a third driving unit to drive the towing body to move synchronously, so that primary synchronous recovery is realized; in the process, the towed body is in a synchronous recovery state along with the guide head;
when the guide head assembly (4) moves to the safety limiting device on the second guide rail pair, the third driving unit is closed, the working mode of the first driving unit is switched to torque control, meanwhile, the second driving unit is controlled to start working in a speed control mode, the pulley body is driven to move towards the cable retracting direction along the first guide rail pair on the pulley base (3), and the towing body on the pulley body and the pulley body synchronously move to realize secondary synchronous recovery; in the process, the towed body is in a synchronous recovery state along with the retractable pulley;
when the retractable pulley (5) moves to the safety limiting device on the first guide rail pair, the towed body is recovered and returned, the system is stopped, and the towed body is in a towed body storage state.
9. The automatic retraction method of the automatic retraction system of the towed body as claimed in claim 8, wherein the automatic retraction system of the towed body is further provided with a manual operation mode, and the manual operation box sends out a control command to control and switch the working mode, the speed and the emergency stop of the first driving unit, the second driving unit and the third driving unit.
10. The automatic retraction method of the automatic retraction system of the towed body according to claim 8, wherein during the retraction process of the towed body, the retraction speed of the winch, the towed body state, the retraction cable length and the state information of the cable arrangement mechanism are obtained in real time, and if the collected information reaches a preset alarm threshold, the towed body enters a safety protection mode immediately and continues to work after manual investigation.
