There are two airtight cabins in the cabin of the present invention, and the above number of pieces is the number of pieces of a single set of airtight cabins.

[0025] In general, a retractable belly device mainly includes two parts: an airtight cabin structure component and a retractable device component.

[0026] Airtight cabin structural component design. The airtight cabin structural components are mainly composed of airtight cabin skin (5 pieces in total, including the front, back, left and right top) 1, airtight cabin inner column (2 pieces in total) 2, airtight cabin inner column (2 pieces in total) 3, airtight cabin inner horizontal profile (2 pieces in total) 4, airtight cabin inner short horizontal profile (2 pieces in total) 5, airtight cabin inner lower end profile (1 piece) 6, airtight cabin inner lower end profile (1 piece) 7, airtight cabin outer column (7 pieces) 8, airtight cabin outer column (7 pieces) 9, airtight cabin outer side and crossbeam docking profile 10 (2 pieces), moving cabin door (1 piece) 11, hinged cover (1 piece) 12, quick release screws (3 pieces) 13. The material of airtight cabin skin 1 and hinged cover 12 is LY12-CZ-δ1.5. The column 2 in the airtight cabin, the column 3 in the airtight cabin, the horizontal profile 4 in the airtight cabin, the short horizontal profile 5 in the airtight cabin, the column 8 outside the airtight cabin, and the column 9 outside the airtight cabin are made of right-angle profiles and are connected to the surrounding structural parts such as the skin 1 with rivets or bolts. The lower end profile 6 in the airtight cabin and the lower end profile 7 in the airtight cabin are integral aluminum alloy pre-stretched plate machine parts, which are connected to the surrounding structural parts such as the skin 1 with bolts. The crossbeam docking profile 10 is an I-shaped profile, which is connected to the floor crossbeam, etc. through a joint, rivets or bolts. The moving cabin door 11 is a composite material and is hung on the lower side of the outside of the airtight cabin with hinges and bolts. The moving cabin door 11 has two working states: closed and opened. The maximum angle of the open state is f°, which ensures that the telescopic device 14 can enter and exit the cabin. The closed working state is an airtight state, which is conformal to the shape of the aircraft skin. A hinged cover 12 and quick-release screws 13 are designed on the rear side above the floor in the direction of the course. The hinged cover 12 is used for the replacement, loading and maintenance of the telescopic device 14 in the cabin. Unscrew the three quick-release screws 13, and the hinged cover 12 is flipped down on the floor to reveal the replacement and maintenance passage. Tighten the quick-release screws 13 to ensure the airtightness of the airtight cabin. The airtight cabin structural components are designed to form an independent airtight space. The size of the airtight cabin is a×b×cmm (length×width×height), see Figure 1 , AA section, B view, C view, D view.

[0027] The airtight cabin structural components are designed to form two independent airtight spaces in the aircraft cabin. Two sets of belly retractable devices are arranged symmetrically and independently. The positioning size of the airtight cabin structural components is Gmm. The two airtight cabin structural components are arranged to form three channels, and the channel width dimensions are "Hmm" and "Jmm" respectively to ensure normal passage in the cabin. Figure 6 .

[0028] Design of telescopic device assembly. The telescopic device assembly is mainly composed of a telescopic device 14, a rack assembly 15, a motor 16, a motion control board 17, and a door motion mechanism (2 sets) 18. The telescopic device 14 can be loaded with various equipment to complete different tasks. The telescopic device 14 is divided into three working states: ① the state of changing, loading and maintaining the channel on the floor; ② the state of waiting to leave the cabin; ③ the state of leaving the cabin. ① The positioning size of the state of changing, loading and maintaining the channel on the floor is dmm (above the floor); ③ The maximum size of the state of leaving the cabin is emm. The rack assembly 15, the motor 16, the motion control board 17, and the door motion mechanism 18 constitute the motion device of the telescopic device 14. The motor 16 is connected to the aircraft floor with bolts for easy maintenance. The rack assembly 15 is 4 steel parts, arranged on the inner surface of the airtight cabin structure, and is connected to the skin 1, the airtight cabin outer column 8, and the airtight cabin outer column 9 with bolts. It is one of the driving devices of the telescopic device 14. The motion control board 17 is a driving command control unit of the telescopic device 14, which ensures the telescopic device 14 can exit and return to the cabin. The motion control board 17 controls the motor 16, drives the rack assembly 15 and the cabin door motion mechanism 18 to move, so as to drive the telescopic device 14 to exit and return to the cabin, and ensures the coordinated movement of the motion cabin door 11 and the telescopic device 14.

[0029] The door movement mechanism (2 sets) 18 is designed. The 2 sets of door movement mechanisms 18 are arranged at the front and rear ends of the inner surface of the airtight cabin to drive the moving cabin door 11. After 11 is closed in place, the fixed cabin door is closed by 4 locks; the 4 locks are unlocked, and the door movement mechanism 18 drives 11 to open the cabin door. The 4 locks close the fixed cabin door to ensure the airtightness of the moving cabin door 11 and ensure the safety of the aircraft.

[0030] In order to ensure the normal operation of the telescopic device assembly, various cables and accessories are arranged on the inner surface of the upper end of the airtight cabin structure.
