Abstract

A switch for a track of a maglev train is provided. The switch comprises a front main track beam and a rear switching track beam. The rear switching track beam comprises a central fixed track beam and a middle mobile track beam; the front main track beam can switch between a straight track and a bent track by bending; the central fixed track beam is a fixed track beam; and the middle mobile track beam can move parallelly between the straight track and the bent track. The imposed deformation length and driving weight of the switch is minimised by providing the middle mobile track beam, and the required track switching time is shortened.
