The working principle is as follows:
and the 24V independent power supply supplies power to the whole emergency stop system. The anode of the 24V independent power supply is connected with a plurality of emergency stop switches (the switches are normally closed) in series, and is connected with an electromagnetic relay in series and is connected to an analog input port of the PLC. The common terminal (COM) and the normally closed terminal (NC) of the electromagnetic relay are connected into the loop, and the input terminal of the electromagnetic relay is connected to the digital signal output terminal of the unmanned vehicle controller and receives a control signal of the unmanned vehicle controller. When the emergency situation is observed by the safety personnel of the unmanned vehicle, the emergency stop switch is pressed down, the emergency stop switch is disconnected, and the loop from the 24V power supply to the PLC analog input port is disconnected. When the PLC can not detect the 24V signal on the port, the emergency stop is needed.

A steel wire rope is fixed on the motor rotating shaft, is guided to the lower part of the brake pedal through a guide pipe, bypasses a pulley fixed below the brake pedal, and is fixed at the bottom of the brake pedal. When the stepping motor rotates, the steel wire rope can be pulled, the pulling direction of the steel wire rope is changed through the pulley, the brake pedal is pulled downwards, and the braking action is realized. The start position and the stop position of the steel wire rope after the rotation of the step motor are calibrated, two proximity switches are fixed at the start position and the stop position, and signal output lines of the proximity switches are connected to two different input ports of the PLC. When PLC control step motor pulling brake, the motor shaft begins the rotation from the initiating position, and when rotatory to the end position, the proximity switch output signal to PLC of end position, PLC judge that step motor should stop rotating this moment. The process that the PLC controls the stepping motor to release the brake is opposite to the process.
