[0051] The piston 4 is movably arranged in the rod body 3; the rod body 3 is divided into a liquid cavity I 31 and a liquid cavity II 32; and the liquid cavity I 31 and the liquid cavity II 32 are filled with liquid media. The rod I 2 is arranged in the liquid cavity I 31, the rod I 2 is connected with the piston 4 by threads, and the other end of the rod I 2 hermetically penetrates out from the liquid cavity I 31; the rod II 5 is arranged in the liquid cavity II 32, the rod II 5 is integrally formed with the piston 4, and the other end of the rod II 5 hermetically penetrates out from the liquid cavity II 32; the rod I 2 and the rod II 5 are cylindrical, the rod I 2 and the rod II 5 move with the piston 4 in the rod body 3 and the diameter of the rod I 2 is the same as the diameter of the rod II 5. A balancing cavity 33 is arranged in the rod body 3 along the moving direction of the piston 4, and the other end of the rod II 5 is movably arranged in the balancing cavity 33; and the balancing cavity 33 is communicated with the atmosphere through a vent.
[0052] The liquid cavity I 31 is communicated with the liquid cavity II 32 through the flow channel I 7 and the flow channel II 8. When the piston 4 moves in the rod body 3, the liquid media flow only between the liquid cavity I 31 and the liquid cavity II 32. The reduced volume or increased volume of the liquid cavity I 31 is equal to the increased volume or reduced volume of the liquid cavity II 32.
[0053] The straight-through valve I 71 and the check valve I 72 are arranged on the flow channel 1 7, and the liquid media in the liquid cavity I 31 can only flow to the liquid cavity II 32 through the check valve I 72 and the straight-through valve I 71. The straight-through valve I 71 adopts a normally closed solenoid valve. The straight-through valve I 71 is integrated with the check valve I 72 and installed on the outer circumference of the rod body 3. The straight-through valve II 81 and the check valve II 82 are arranged on the flow channel II 8. The straight-through valve II 81 is integrated with the check valve II 72 and installed on the outer circumference of the rod body 3.

The straight-through valve II 81 adopts a normally closed solenoid valve.
[0054] When the length of the connecting rod remains unchanged, as shown in
[0055] Conversely, if the hydraulic connecting rod bears pressure, the rod I 2 has a tendency to drive the piston 4 to move downward. The pressure in the liquid cavity I 31 is decreased to form negative pressure, and the pressure in the liquid cavity II 32 is increased sharply. An upward pressure difference is formed on both sides of the piston 4, and the pressure difference acts on the piston 4 to form an upward balance force which is balanced with the pressure borne by the hydraulic connecting rod. The piston 4 also may not move, so that the length of the connecting rod remains unchanged.

Once the railway vehicle has a tendency to roll to the outer side of the curve, the adjustable torsion bar system provides the unidirectional anti-rolling torque to prevent the railway vehicle from rolling to the outer side of the curve to ensure the driving safety.
