In order to continuously break through the speed of ground transportation and meet the social needs of more efficient transportation methods, the maglev train is a key research direction in the future. In this paper, the maglev train is taken as the research object. Based on the reconnection electromagnetic launch technology, a new concept of reconnection vehicle is proposed. The reconnection electromagnetic launcher is used as the power system of the maglev train to make the maglev train reach the expected speed smoothly. The feasibility of this situation is demonstrated from theory and simulation, and it is hoped that it can provide new ideas for the design of the power system of the future maglev train.
