[0010] According to one aspect of the present invention, the control command of the cabin control panel has a higher priority than the control command of the door control switch.

[0011] According to one aspect of the present invention, the cabin door control switch includes a cabin door control switch located inside the first-class cabin seat box and an outside cabin door control switch. The inside cabin door control switch is set on the inside panel of the first-class cabin seat box, allowing operation inside the first-class cabin seat box. This structure conforms to the operating habits and cognition, is convenient for passengers to operate, and can prevent passengers from being accidentally pinched by the cabin door when operating the switch; in addition, the layout position of this control switch is close to the mechanical structure of the control cabin door, which is convenient for maintenance. The outside cabin door control switch is set on the outer door frame of the first-class cabin seat box, allowing operation outside the seat box. This structure has a clear layout position and appearance, and the installation height is convenient for flight attendants or passengers to operate while standing.

[0012] According to one aspect of the present invention, the cabin door control switch is of button type, having a cabin door closing button and a cabin door opening button, which are respectively used to control the closing and opening of the cabin door, wherein the cabin door closing button is arrow-shaped, pointing in the direction of the nose of the aircraft, wherein the cabin door opening button is arrow-shaped, pointing in the direction of the tail of the aircraft.
