The upper end of the connecting shaft 37 can be axially slidably inserted into the handle mechanism 4, the middle part is provided with a shaft shoulder, and the lower end passes through the connector 36 and is connected to the block 31. The reset spring 38 is sleeved on the upper part of the connecting shaft 37 and presses the shaft shoulder on the connector 36. The handle mechanism 4 and the manual cam 32 are rotatably mounted on the lock body 1. The transmission scheme of the present application does not change the operating habits of pilots, is easily accepted by pilots, is convenient for replacing the current equipment, and has a good application prospect.
[0035] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, when the handle mechanism 4 drives the manual cam 32 to rotate, the manual cam 32 drives the manual top ring 34 to push up through its own cam, the manual top ring 34 drives the connecting head 36 to push up through the flange 361, the connecting head 36 drives the connecting shaft 37 to push up through the shaft shoulder, the connecting shaft 37 compresses the reset spring 38 and drives the stopper 31 to move up and exit the locking plate 2; Figures 9 to 17 As shown, after the electronic mechanism 5 detects the entry into water, it triggers the driving push rod 332, the push rod 332 drives the push ring 33 to rotate, the push ring 33 drives the automatic cam 35 to rotate through the protrusion 331, the automatic cam 35 drives the connecting head 36 to push up through its own cam and protrusion 362, the connecting head 36 drives the connecting shaft 37 to push up through the shaft shoulder, the connecting shaft 37 compresses the reset spring 38 and drives the stopper 31 to move up and exit the locking plate 2.
[0036] In order to increase safety, in this embodiment, a safety component is added to the handle mechanism 4 to prevent misoperation and accidental separation of the lock piece 2: Figure 4As shown, the safety assembly includes a pair of buttons 41 located outside the handle mechanism 4 and a pair of safety pins 42 located inside the handle mechanism 4, the pair of safety pins 42 are located between the pair of buttons 41, one end of the safety pin 42 is fixed to the button 41 on one side, and the other end is connected to the button 41 on the other side through a spring 43, and the buttons 41 on both sides can be pressed simultaneously with one hand; when the buttons 41 on both sides are not pressed, the safety pin 42 hinders the axial movement of the manual top ring 34 and does not hinder the axial movement of the connector 36; when the buttons 41 on both sides are pressed at the same time, the safety pin 42 shifts and releases the axial obstruction to the manual top ring 34, when the buttons 41 on both sides are not pressed at the same time, manual release cannot be achieved even if the handle mechanism 4 is rotated, and manual release can only be achieved when the buttons 41 on both sides are pressed at the same time and the handle mechanism 4 is rotated, thereby avoiding misoperation and accidental disengagement of the lock plate 2, and whether the buttons 41 on both sides are pressed at the same time will not affect the realization of automatic release; as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the safety pin 42 has a variable cross-section along its own axial direction, and the two safety pins 42 are symmetrically arranged about the axis. When the buttons 41 on both sides are not pressed, the enlarged section near one end of the safety pin 42 hinders the axial movement of the manual top ring 34.
