The inner end of the limiting inner cylinder 23 is also provided with two stepped grooves 28, which are arranged at a position farther from the inner end face of the limiting inner cylinder 23 than the cylindrical through hole, and the area of ​​the stepped groove 28 is larger than the cross section of the limiting ball 24, so that the corresponding limiting ball 24 can enter the stepped groove 28 when the stepped groove 28 moves to the cylindrical through hole position following the operating rod 22. A long latch hole 14 is provided inside the shell 2, and the security latch 3 is horizontally inserted into the interior of the long latch hole 14 and is slidably connected with the interior of the long latch hole 14. An annular groove 27 is provided inside the long latch hole 14. When the security latch 3 penetrates into the long latch hole 14, it can drive the cylindrical through hole inside it to move to the annular groove 27, thereby facilitating the two limiting balls 24 to enter the annular groove 27 along the corresponding cylindrical through holes.

[0040] The end sleeve 26 is sleeved on the outer end of the limiting inner cylinder 23. The inner side wall of the end sleeve 26 is assembled with the threaded portion 29 arranged on the outer ring of the outer end of the limiting inner cylinder 23 through an internal thread.

The reset pressure plate 30 and the reset pressing surface 31 press the latch pin limiting spring 25, and the operating rod 22 is driven to perform reverse reset under the reverse force.

[0041] The actuator rod 10 is provided with a spherical end 20, a stepped groove 16, a connecting long plate 17, a reset circular plate 18 and a U-shaped plug plate 19. The spherical end 20 is arranged at one end of the actuator rod 10 close to the long latch hole 14, the connecting long plate 17 and the reset circular plate 18 are sleeved in the middle position of the actuator rod 10 and are fixedly connected to the actuator rod 10, the stepped groove 16 is arranged between the spherical end 20 and the connecting long plate 17, and the U-shaped plug plate 19 is arranged at one end of the actuator rod 10 away from the long latch hole 14.

[0042] The shell 2 is provided with a transmission long hole 13 which vertically passes through the long hole 14 of the latch, and the spherical end 20 passes through the transmission long hole 13 and goes deep into the long hole 14 of the latch. The shell 2 is provided with a U-shaped connecting groove 15 which is located at one end of the actuator rod 10 close to the U-shaped connecting groove 15. The U-shaped plug plate 19 is taken into the U-shaped connecting groove 15. A transmission reset spring 11 is provided between the reset circular plate 18 and the end of the U-shaped connecting groove 15. The transmission reset spring 11 is sleeved on the actuator rod 10. The low pressure of the transmission reset spring 11 is applied by the reset circular plate 18 and the end of the U-shaped connecting groove 15, thereby driving the actuator rod 10 to reset to a position close to the long hole 14 of the latch. The connecting long plate 17 and the reset circular plate 18 are both arranged perpendicular to the actuator rod 10. The connecting long plate 17 is arranged parallel to the operating interface position of the micro switch 9. The switch contact is arranged on the end surface of the micro switch 9 close to the connecting long plate 17, so that the connecting long plate 17 can be close to the micro switch 9 in the process of following the movement of the actuator rod 10, and the switch contact is subjected to low pressure through the connecting long plate 17. The micro switch 9 is installed inside the shell by fixing screws 8.

[0043] A sealing ring 12 is provided in the stepped groove 16 and is sleeved on the actuator rod 10. The sealing ring 12 is located inside the transmission long hole 13. A U-shaped limit plate 21 is provided on the top cover plate 1 and extends into the inside of the housing 2. The U-shaped limit plate 21 is arranged perpendicular to the actuator rod 10 and extends into the inside of the U-shaped connection groove 15. The end of the U-shaped limit plate 21 is close to the U-shaped plug plate 19 and there is a gap between the U-shaped plug plate 19, so that the actuator rod 10 can move in the U-shaped connection groove 15 and cannot rotate. A rubber gasket 5 is provided between the top cover plate 1 and the opening provided at the top of the housing 2. The top cover plate 1 is connected to the top of the housing 2 by connecting screws 7 passing through its four corners. An indicator light 4 is provided on the front side plate of the housing 2. The indicator light 4 is located on the side of the front side plate away from the long plug hole 14. The indicator light 4 and the micro switch 9 are both connected to the external components through the wiring harness 6 passing through the outer wall of the object. The indicator light 4 and the micro switch 9 are also connected through the wiring harness 6.

[0044] The working principle of the safety insurance device circuit is: when the aircraft control system is working normally, there is no need to insert the security plug 3, the micro switch 9 is in the normally closed state, and the total power signal of the control system is in the normally connected state; when the aircraft needs to be overhauled on the ground control system, the security plug 3 is inserted into the security plug 3 hole on the shell 2, and the internal mechanism will trigger the micro switch 9 to adjust from the normally closed state to the disconnected state. At this time, the total power signal of the control system is adjusted to the disconnected state, and the indicator light 4 will light up, the control system is in a safe state, and any ground maintenance action will not cause a safety accident in the control system; when the security plug 3 is unplugged before the aircraft takes off, the micro switch 9 returns to the normally closed state, and the total power signal of the control system is in the normally connected state again.

[0045] The specific method of using the safety insurance device is as follows: when the aircraft needs to be inspected in the ground control system, use the index finger and middle finger to clamp the outer cylindrical surface of the end sleeve 26 of the security latch 3, and then press the operating rod 22 with the thumb, the operating rod 22 moves toward the inside of the shell 2, and at the same time, the reset pressure plate 30 will compress the latch limit spring 25. When the reset pressure plate 30 and the limit inner cylinder 23 on the operating rod 22 are close to the outer end surface of the reset pressure plate 30, the operating rod 22 is pressed into place and can no longer move into the shell 2. At this time, the stepped groove 28 on the operating rod 22 moves to the left to the position of the two limit balls 24. The gap between the stepped groove 28 on the operating rod 22 and the inner hole of the limit inner cylinder 23 allows the two limit balls 24 to move toward the axial direction of the operating rod 22, keeping the operating rod 22 pressed into place, and inserting the security latch 3 as a whole into the long latch hole 14 on the shell 2.

[0046] When the left shoulder of the limiting inner cylinder 23 on the security latch 3 contacts the spherical end 20 on the actuator rod 10, as the security latch 3 is further inserted, the spherical end 20 on the actuator rod 10 will be pushed to move in the direction of the micro switch 9. When the spherical end 20 on the actuator rod 10 is completely moved back into the transmission long hole 13, the connecting long plate 17 on the actuator rod 10 will contact the contacts on the micro switch 9, and the micro switch 9 is adjusted from the normally closed state to the disconnected state. At this time, the key signal of the control system is in the disconnected state. When the security latch 3 is fully inserted into the long latch hole 14 on the shell 2, the left end face of the end sleeve 26 of the security latch 3 is completely fitted with the front side plate of the shell 2, and the two limiting balls 24 on the security latch 3 are just located at the annular groove 27 on the shell 2; at this time, the security latch 3 is released, and under the action of the latch limiting spring 25, the operating rod 22 will move toward the outside of the shell 2 to return to its normal state, and the operating rod 22 will push the two limiting balls 24 to move away from the axis of the operating rod 22, and just get stuck in the annular groove 27 on the shell 2, even if the security latch 3 is installed vertically downward on the machine, the security latch 3 will not fall off from the long latch hole 14 on the shell 2 under the action of gravity, and has a self-locking function; at this time, any action will not cause the control system to operate and further cause an accident, and ground maintenance work can be carried out.

[0047] Before the plane takes off, the ground personnel need to unplug the security latch 3. The specific steps are as follows: pinch the outer cylindrical surface of the end sleeve 26 of the security latch 3 with the index finger and the middle finger, and then press the operating rod 22 with the thumb. The operating rod 22 moves to the left, and the reset pressure plate 30 compresses the latch limit spring 25. When the reset pressure plate 30 of the operating rod 22 and the limit inner cylinder 23 are close to the outer end surface of the reset pressure plate 30, the operating rod 22 is pressed into place and can no longer move into the shell 2. At this time, the stepped groove 28 on the operating rod 22 moves to the left to the position of the two limit balls 24, and the stepped groove on the operating rod 22 The gap between 28 and the inner hole of the limiting inner cylinder 23 allows the two limiting balls 24 to move toward the axial direction of the operating rod 22, and the self-locking function is released; keep the operating rod 22 pressed in place, and pull the security latch 3 out of the long latch hole 14 on the shell 2 as a whole; when the security latch 3 is pulled out, under the action of the elastic force of the reset spring 11, the actuator rod 10 will move in the direction of the long latch hole 14, the connecting long plate 17 will be disengaged from the contacts on the micro switch 9, the micro switch 9 will return to the normally closed state, the control system's main power signal is connected and can work normally, and the indicator light 4 is off.

[0048] In summary, the present invention controls the disconnection of the main power signal of the aircraft avionics system by inserting the security plug to cause the internal micro switch to operate, which can avoid accidents such as system damage caused by misoperation during ground maintenance. The security plug has a self-locking function to prevent it from falling out of the security plug hole on the shell due to gravity after insertion, and no tools are required during use, which has the advantage of good operability. After the security plug is inserted, the indicator light on the front side panel lights up, which can directly indicate the on and off state of the main power signal of the aircraft avionics system, and has the advantage of good human-computer interaction.
