[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 12, an embodiment provided by the present invention: a locking mechanism applied to an aircraft, including an outer handle 4, a central shaft 5, a bolt transmission mechanism 8, a rotation limit block 19, an inner handle 11, a key lock 12, an outer fixed block 6 of the central shaft, an inner bonding block 7 of the central shaft, and an adjusting gasket 9.

[0037] One end of the central shaft 5 is connected to the outer handle 4, and the outer handle 4 is fixed to one end of the central shaft 5 by countersunk screws or welding. The central shaft 5 passes through the outer fixed block 6 of the central shaft, the round hole on the door panel 1, the inner bonding block 7 of the central shaft, the central shaft transmission piece 13, the adjusting gasket 9, the central shaft cover plate 10, and the rotation limit block 19 from outside to inside in sequence. There is a protruding block 501 on the central shaft 5.

[0038] The bolt transmission mechanism 8 is driven by the central shaft 5. The bolt transmission mechanism 8 includes a central shaft transmission piece 13, a connecting rod 14, an upper shaft support seat 15, a rocker arm 16, a bolt connecting piece 17, and a bolt 18. The central shaft transmission piece 13 is fixedly connected to the central shaft 5. One end of the connecting rod 14 is on the central shaft transmission piece 13 through a pin shaft, and the other end is on one end of the rocker arm 16 through a pin shaft. The rotating shaft of the upper shaft support seat 15 passes through the round hole in the middle of the rocker arm 16, so that the rocker arm 16 can rotate around it. The upper shaft support seat 15 is fixed inside the door panel 1 by screws. The other end of the rocker arm 16 is on one end of the bolt connecting piece 17 through a pin shaft, and the other end of the bolt connecting piece 17 is on the bolt 18 through a pin shaft. The bolt 18 passes through the opening on the side frame of the door panel 1.

[0039] The rotation limit block 19 is fixed to the central shaft cover plate 10 by countersunk screws. The rotation limit block 19 includes an inner layer opening 1901 larger than the cross-section of the central shaft 5 and an outer surface step 1902 that restricts the excessive rotation of the limit square 1101. There is a hole on the central shaft cover plate 10 with the same cross-sectional size as the central shaft 5. The central shaft cover plate 10 and the rotation limit block 19 cooperate to form a stepped groove, and the stepped groove cooperates with the protruding block 501.

[0040] The inner handle 11 is connected to the other end of the central shaft 5, and a limit square 1101 larger than the diameter of the central shaft 5 is used at the connection of the inner handle 11.

[0041] The key lock 12 is installed on the door panel 1. The key lock 12 has a lock tongue piece 20. One end of the lock tongue piece 20 rotates around the key lock 12, and the other end of the lock tongue piece 20 contacts the edge of the outer handle 4.

[0042] The inner bonding block 7 of the central shaft is bonded inside the door panel 1, and the outer fixed block 6 of the central shaft is fixed outside the door panel 1 by countersunk screws. The adjusting gasket 9 adjusts the tightness of the installation of the central shaft transmission piece 13, facilitating the adjustment of the fitting clearance caused by production tolerances during assembly.

[0043] Closing the Door: After closing the door, rotate the exterior handle 4 counterclockwise or the interior handle 11 clockwise. When the interior handle 11 reaches a certain angle (e.g., 45 degrees), the stopper 1101 of the interior handle 11 contacts the outer step 1902 of the rotation stopper 19, restricting further rotation. The central axis drive plate 13 then rotates synchronously with the central axis 5 in the same direction. This rotation drives the rest of the bolt drive mechanism 8, extending the bolt 18 and inserting it into the bolt hole in the door frame, thus closing the door.

[0044] To secure the car: 1. Press the outer handle 4 or pull the inner handle 11 inward. When the car is pulled out a certain distance (e.g. 20 mm), the cylindrical end face A of the center shaft 5 contacts the side face B of the center shaft transmission plate 13 and limits the center shaft 5 from being pulled out further.

[0045] 2. Rotate the outer handle 4 clockwise or the inner handle 11 counterclockwise. When rotated to a small angle (for example, 10 degrees), the side wall C of the protruding block 501 of the central axis 5 cooperates with the inner opening 1901 of the central axis cover 10 and the rotation limit block 19 to form a stepped groove side wall D in contact, and the stepped groove restricts the central axis 5 from continuing to rotate. At this time, the safety is completed. In this state, since the end face E of the protruding block 501 of the central axis 5 contacts the surface of the central axis cover 10 and the cylindrical end face A of the central axis 5 contacts the side face B of the central axis transmission plate 13, the axial translation movement of the central axis 5 is restricted, and it can only be rotated in the opposite direction to release the safety.

[0046] Locking: Insert the key into the key lock 12 and rotate it so that the bolt piece 20 rotates out and presses against the upper edge of the outer handle 4. At this time, the outer handle 4 cannot be rotated, thereby achieving the purpose of anti-theft and anti-entry.

[0047] Open the door (if the door is closed and locked):

[0048] 1. Rotate the outer handle 4 counterclockwise or the inner handle clockwise. When the handle is rotated to a small angle (e.g., 10 degrees), the side wall C of the protruding block 501 of the central shaft 5 contacts the side wall D of the stepped groove and restricts the central shaft 5 from rotating further.

[0049] 2. Pull the outer handle 4 outward or press the inner handle 11 to release the safety. When the handle is pulled out a certain distance (e.g. 20 mm), the stop block 1101 of the inner handle 11 contacts the side E of the rotation stop block 19 and restricts the central shaft 5 from being pulled out further.

[0050] 3. Rotate the outer handle 4 clockwise or rotate the inner handle 11 counterclockwise. When rotated to a certain angle (for example, 45 degrees), the limiting square block 1101 of the inner handle 11 contacts the outer surface step 1902 of the rotation limiting block 19, and the outer surface step 1902 restricts its continued rotation. At this time, the central shaft transmission piece 13 rotates synchronously and in the same direction as the central shaft 5. The rotation of the central shaft transmission piece 13 drives the remaining bolt transmission mechanisms 8, causing the bolt 18 to retract and the cabin door to open and complete. During the rotation process, due to the end face E of the protruding block 501 contacting the surface of the central shaft cover plate 10 and the limiting square block 1101 of the inner handle 11 contacting the side face F of the rotation limiting block 19, the two restrict the axial movement of the central shaft 5, making the central shaft 5 have only rotational movement around its axis during this process.

[0051] In each of the above steps, the position of the central shaft 5 has clear restrictions, making the operation process of the entire mechanism accurate and easy.

The rotating shaft of the upper shaft support seat 15 passes through the round hole in the middle of the rocker arm 16, enabling the rocker arm 16 to rotate around it. The upper shaft support seat 15 is fixed inside the door panel 1 by screws. The other end of the rocker arm 16 is on one end of the bolt connecting piece 17 through a pin shaft, and the other end of the bolt connecting piece 17 is on the bolt through a pin shaft. The bolt passes through the opening on the side frame of the door panel 1.

[0056] The rotating limit block 19 is fixed to the middle shaft cover plate 10 by a countersunk screw. The rotating limit block 19 includes an inner layer opening 1901 that is larger than the cross-section of the middle shaft 5 and an outer surface step 1902 that limits the excessive rotation of the limit square block 1101. A hole with the same size as the cross-section of the middle shaft 5 is provided on the middle shaft cover plate 10. The middle shaft cover plate 10 and the rotating limit block 19 cooperate to form a stepped groove, and the stepped groove cooperates with the protruding block 501.
