When the first locking ball and the second locking ball leave the first locking groove and the second locking groove respectively, the protective cover body is unlocked. The beneficial effect is at least that the protective cover body can only be unlocked when and only when both the first locking ball and the second locking ball leave the first locking groove and the second locking groove, thus preventing accidental unlocking of the protective cover body by the locking element latch.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the protective structure for the control panel of an aircraft cockpit control device, the protective cover fixing frame extends along the edge of the control panel. The beneficial effect is at least that it avoids obstructing the control devices on the control panel.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the protective structure for the control panel of the aircraft cockpit's control devices, the protective cover body and the protective cover fixing frame are rotatably connected via a protective cover hinge. One hinge piece of the protective cover hinge is fixedly connected to the protective cover fixing frame, and the other hinge piece of the protective cover hinge is fixedly connected to the protective cover body. The beneficial effect is at least that it enables a rotatable connection between the protective cover body and the protective cover fixing frame.

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions of embodiments are intended to aid in understanding the invention and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0018] See Figures 1 to 8 The figure shows a protective structure for an aircraft cockpit control panel. The protective structure for the aircraft cockpit control panel 1 includes: a control panel 1, a protective cover fixing frame 2, a protective cover body 3, and a protective cover locking component 4, etc.

[0019] The top surface of the control panel 1 is equipped with control devices (not shown in the figure, but hidden inside the protective cover body 3). The control devices are selected from toggle switches, push-button switches, and rotary switches, etc. By operating the control devices on the control panel 1, the pilot issues control commands to the aircraft.

[0020] The protective cover fixing frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the control panel 1. The protective cover fixing frame 2 extends along the edge of the control panel 1. The protective cover fixing frame 2 avoids the control device of the control panel 1.

[0021] The protective cover body 3 is rotatably connected to the protective cover fixing frame 2. The protective cover body 3 and the protective cover fixing frame 2 are rotatably connected via a protective cover hinge 5. The protective cover body 3 completely covers the operating device control panel 1, and the operating devices of the operating device control panel 1 are protected inside the protective cover body 3 to prevent accidental contact or damage. See also... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The protective cover body 3 can be closed or opened.

[0022] In specific implementation, one of the hinge pieces 52 of the protective cover hinge 5 is fixedly connected to the rear part of the protective cover fixing frame 2, and the other hinge piece 51 of the protective cover hinge 5 is fixedly connected to the rear part of the protective cover body 3.

[0023] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 The protective cover locking component 4 has a locking buckle 41 and a locking buckle seat 42. The locking buckle 41 is fixedly connected to the protective cover body 3, and the locking buckle seat 42 is fixedly connected to the protective cover fixing frame 2. When the locking buckle 41 engages with the locking buckle seat 42, the protective cover body 3 is locked. In other embodiments, the locking buckle 41 is fixedly connected to the protective cover fixing frame 2, and the locking buckle seat 42 is fixedly connected to the protective cover body 3.

[0024] In practice, the locking buckle 41 is fixedly connected to the front of the protective cover body 3. The locking buckle seat 42 is fixedly connected to the front of the protective cover fixing frame 2.

[0025] Furthermore, the locking element buckle 41 has a first locking groove 411 and a second locking groove 412. The first locking groove 411 faces away from the second locking groove 412. The locking element buckle seat 42 has a first locking ball 421 corresponding to the first locking groove 411 and a second locking ball 422 corresponding to the second locking groove 412. When the first locking ball 421 and the second locking ball 422 enter the first locking groove 411 and the second locking groove 412 respectively, the protective cover body 3 is locked. When the first locking ball 421 and the second locking ball 422 leave the first locking groove 411 and the second locking groove 412 respectively, the protective cover body 3 is unlocked. If the first locking ball 421 of the latch seat enters the first locking groove 411 and the second locking ball 422 of the latch seat leaves the second locking groove 412, or if the first locking ball 421 of the latch seat leaves the first locking groove 411 and the second locking ball 422 of the latch seat enters the second locking groove 412, the protective cover body 3 remains locked. The purpose of the above design is to prevent accidental unlocking of the protective cover body 3.
