[0060] An aircraft crew emergency escape hatch, comprising:
[0061] The hatch 1 is arranged at the exit of the escape passage 2 and opens outwards. The inner side of the hatch 1 is provided with a hatch opening stop block 3, a hatch closing stop block 4, two lock pin guide holes, and a lock pin support hole;
[0062] Two locking blocks 5 are connected to the exit of the escape passage 2 and have locking pin openings and outward guiding inclined surfaces;
[0063] Two locking pins 6, the side walls of which have an annular protrusion, the tails of which are inserted into the two locking pin guide holes, the heads of which extend out from the two locking pin support holes, and the annular protrusions are located between the locking pin guide holes and the locking pin support holes;
[0064] Two return springs 7 are sleeved on the outer circumference of the two lock pins 6, with both ends abutting against the front end of the lock pin guide hole and the annular protrusion. Relying on the elastic force, the heads of the two lock pins 6 are inserted into the two lock pin holes to lock the hatch 1 in the closed position. Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown;
[0065] The two ends of the transverse connecting rod 8 are sleeved on the outer periphery of the two locking pins 6;
[0066] A driving connecting rod 9, one end of which is hinged on the transverse connecting rod 8;
[0067] The driving rocker arm 10 is hinged at the middle part to the inner side of the door 1, and has a door opening driving block 11 and a door closing driving block 12, one end of which is hinged to the other end of the driving connecting rod 9, and can be specifically hinged by a single-ear and double-ear structure;
[0068] The actuator 13 is hinged between the inner side of the exit of the escape passage 2 and the other end of the driving rocker arm 10, and can be hinged by a single-ear and double-ear structure;
[0069] When the piston rod of the actuator 13 is extended, it can drive the driving rocker arm 10 to rotate, thereby pulling the driving connecting rod 9, so that the transverse connecting rod 8 moves, and the two ends abut against the two annular protrusions, overcoming the elastic force of the return spring 7 to pull the two locking pins 6, so that the heads of the two locking pins 6 are separated from the locking pin openings, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lock of the hatch door 1 in the closed position is released, so that the opening drive block 11 abuts against the hatch door opening stop block 3, and the hatch door 1 is driven to open, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown;
[0070] When the piston rod of the actuator 13 contracts, it can drive the driving rocker arm 10 to rotate, and then push the driving connecting rod 9, so that the transverse connecting rod 8 moves, and the two ends are disengaged from the two annular protrusions. Under the elastic force of the reset spring 7, the two locking pins 6 are automatically reset, so that the hatch closing drive block 12 abuts against the hatch closing stop block 4, driving the hatch to close. In this process, the heads of the two locking pins 6 abut against the two outward guide slopes and slide along the outward guide slopes, overcoming the elastic force of the reset spring 7 to push the two locking pins 6. After bypassing the outward guide slopes, under the elastic force of the reset spring 7, the two locking pins 6 are automatically reset, and the heads of the two locking pins 6 are reinserted into the two locking pin orifices to lock the hatch 1 in the closed position.

[0075] Two suspension rocker arms 14 are connected at one end to the inner side of the door 1, close to the edge of the vertical side of the door 1, and the other end is bent and hinged to the inner side of the exit of the escape passage 2. Specifically, the single-double-ear structure can be hinged, such as Figure 6 As shown, when the door 1 is opened outward, it deflects forward 90° to form a windshield on the exit side of the escape passage 2, which can reduce the interference of airflow when the crew escapes in dangerous situations and reduce the danger of escape.
[0076] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned aircraft crew emergency escape hatch, the two lock pin openings are arc-shaped openings;
[0077] The heads of the two locking pins 6 are spherical, which can reduce the sliding of the two locking pins 6 on the outward guiding inclined surface, as well as the jamming when inserting and removing from the locking pin openings, and can reduce the wear between the structures.
[0078] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned aircraft crew emergency escape hatch, the driving rocker arm 10 is located between the hatch opening stop block 3 and the hatch closing stop block 4, such as Figure 7 shown.
[0079] In some optional embodiments, the above-mentioned aircraft crew emergency escape hatch further includes:
