[0026] In some optional embodiments, each lock body has two locking plates 1.1, which are arranged in parallel to form a sandwich assembly space, and the limit pin 1.6, lock hook 1.4 and lock key 1.5 are all located in the sandwich assembly space.
[0027] In some optional embodiments, the driving device includes an actuator mounting support 4.2 and a driving actuator 4.1. The fixed end of the driving actuator 4.1 is mounted on the actuator mounting support 4.2, and the movable end is connected to the driving rocker arm 2.5 of the transmission shaft assembly. When the driving actuator 4.1 is in a retracted state, the lock body is in a locked state.
[0028] In some optional embodiments, a gravity resistance spring 4.4 is further included, one end of which is connected to the fixed end of the driving cylinder 4.1, and the other end is connected to the movable end. The gravity resistance spring 4.4 is in a stretched state, so that the driving cylinder 4.1 has a contraction preload.
[0029] In some optional embodiments, the monitoring device has a switch assembly 3.2, and the switch assembly 3.2 has a switch drive rocker arm 3.1; the transmission shaft group has a switch contact 2.3, and when the transmission shaft group rotates, it pushes the switch drive rocker arm 3.1, and the movement of the switch drive rocker arm 3.1 causes the switch signal of the switch assembly 3.2 to be connected or disconnected.
[0030] In some optional embodiments, the lock body includes two lock bodies, which are arranged at both ends of the transmission shaft group.
[0031] In some optional embodiments, the driving device includes one and is located in the middle of the transmission shaft assembly, and the monitoring devices include two and are located between the lock body and the driving device.
[0032] In some optional embodiments, the transmission shaft group includes: 2 groups of end transmission shafts 2.1, 2 groups of switch contact mounting shafts 2.2 and 1 group of actuator mounting shaft 2.4, the end transmission shafts 2.1 are located at both ends of the transmission shaft group, the 2 groups of switch contact mounting shafts 2.2 are respectively fixedly installed between the actuator mounting shaft 2.4 and the end transmission shaft 2.1, the end transmission shaft 2.1 is connected to the lock key 1.5, the switch contact 2.3 is fixed on the switch contact mounting shaft 2.2, and the driving actuator 4.1 is connected to the actuator mounting shaft 2.4 through the driving rocker arm 2.5.
[0033] In some optional embodiments, the lock hook reset springs 1.3 include two, which are symmetrically distributed on the outer sides of the two lock clamping plates 1.1.
[0034] In some optional embodiments, the lock clamping plate 1.1 is arranged with a groove for the movement of the lock key 1.5 to facilitate the movement of the lock key 1.5.
[0035] In some optional embodiments, the locking clamp plate 1.1 is arranged with a guide plane of the locking ring, which can guide the locking ring to the locking position.
[0036] The present application can achieve safe and reliable locking, ensure the safety of locking, ensure that the drive system will not unlock under the action of gravity, and have reliable status monitoring measures.
[0037] The closing process of the upper lock: when the lock ring hits the lock hook 1.4, the lock hook 1.4 overcomes the force of the lock hook reset spring 1.3 under the action of the contact force and gradually moves away from the limit pin 1.6. When the hooking plane of the lock hook moves to an angle of 87° with the movement trajectory of the lock ring, the lock key 1.5 approaches the locking surface of the lock hook 1.4 under the action of the lock key holding spring 1.2 until the lock key 1.5 and the lock hook 1.4 are stuck. The movement of the lock key 1.5 drives the end transmission shaft 2.1, the contact installation transmission shaft 2.2, and the actuator installation transmission shaft 2.4 to rotate, and the electric switch contact 2.3 and the electric switch rocker arm 3.1 gradually disengage. The contact force between the electric switch contact 2.3 and the rocker arm 3.1 makes the rocker arm 3.1 gradually approach the electric switch 3.2 button, and the electric switch is turned on, indicating that the cabin door is locked. At this time, the actuator 4.1 is kept in the retracted position under the action of the gravity resistance spring 4.4.
[0038] The upper lock opening process: the driving actuator 4.1 starts to extend under the action of hydraulic pressure to overcome the action of gravity resistance spring 4.4, and the front end of the actuator 4.1 presses the driving rocker arm 2.5, driving the rocker arm 2.5 to rotate the transmission shaft system, and drives the lock key 1.5 through the action of the key shaft to overcome the action of the lock key holding spring 1.2 and gradually move away from the lock hook 1.4. When the lock key 1.5 is completely out of the locking position of the lock hook 1.4, the electric switch contact 2.3 installed on the transmission shaft 2.2 gradually rotates, and the contact force between the electric switch contact 2.3 and the rocker arm 3.1 causes the rocker arm 3.1 to gradually move away from the electric switch 3.2 button, and the electric switch signal is disconnected. At this time, the lock hook 1.4 rotates and opens under the action of the lock hook reset spring 1.3, and when the lock hook 1.4 contacts the limit pin shaft 1.6, the lock hook 1.4 is fully opened.
[0039] The lock clamping plate 1.1 is provided with a groove for the movement of the lock key 1.5, so as to facilitate the movement of the lock key 1.5.
[0040] The locking clamping plate 1.1 is provided with a guide plane of the locking ring, which can guide the locking ring to a locking position.
[0041] The end transmission shaft 2.1 and the lock key 1.5 are keyed shafts, a spline hole is arranged on the lock key 1.5, and a spline shaft is arranged on the end transmission shaft 2.1.
[0042] The installation position of the upper lock and the transmission system is not limited to the upper part of the aircraft fuselage, and can be installed and locked on the upper part of any rotating rising component.

Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
