A number of middle pods 42 are slidably installed inside the T-shaped slide grooves between the two side pods 41. Both the side pods 41 and the middle pods 42 are slidably installed with pod doors 43. Locking components 44 are installed on the tops of the side pods 41 and the middle pods 42, and the locking components 44 and the positioning T-shaped slide grooves 3 are slidably matched.

[0034] The expandable pod 4 is movably installed under the lifting fixing plate 2 through two side pods 41, and the installation position is adjusted according to the required pod volume. As the two sides of the expandable pod 4, the middle pod 42 is installed between the two side pods 41, and the tops of the side pods 41 and the middle pod 42 are fixed by locking components 44.

[0035] The side pod 41 is composed of a side top plate 411, a side rear plate 412, a side bottom plate 413 and a side side plate 414. A side pod door slide groove 415 is provided on the end face of the side pod 41 away from the side rear plate 412. A limit baffle 416 is fixedly installed on the side side plate 414. The pod door 43 is slidably installed on the side pod door slide groove 415, and the pod door 43 and the limit baffle 416 are abutted and matched.

[0036] The side pod 41 limits the lateral sliding of the pod door 43 through the limit baffle 416, so that the position of the pod door 43 of the extended pod 4 is fixed. At the same time, the limit baffle 416 of at least one side pod 41 is elastically slidably installed on the side panel 414, which facilitates the installation and removal of the pod door 43.

[0037] The middle pod 42 comprises a middle top plate 421 , a middle rear plate 422 and a middle bottom plate 423 . A middle door slide groove 424 is provided on the end surface of the middle pod 42 away from the middle rear plate 422 , and the pod door 43 is slidably mounted on the middle door slide groove 424 .

[0038] The middle nacelle 42 is installed by slidingly cooperating with the nacelle door 43 through the middle nacelle door sliding groove 424 .

[0039] The locking assembly 44 includes a T-shaped slider 441, which slides with the positioning T-shaped slide groove 3. An outer ring movable hole 442 is provided in the center of the T-shaped slider 441. The top and bottom of the outer ring movable hole 442 are respectively connected to an upper movable hole 443 and a lower movable hole 444. A locking socket 445 is provided at the top of the positioning T-shaped slide groove 3. The locking socket 445 is connected to the upper movable hole 443. A lower socket 446 is provided on the side top plate 411 and the middle top plate 421. The lower socket 446 is connected to the lower movable hole 444. A locking plug-in 447 is movably inserted between the outer ring movable hole 442, the upper movable hole 443, the lower movable hole 444, the locking socket 445 and the lower socket 446.

[0040] The locking assembly 44 is positioned by sliding the T-shaped slider 441 into the interior of the positioning T-shaped slot 3, and the locking plug-in 447 is movably inserted into the interior of the locking hole 445 to lock the position of the T-shaped slider 441.

[0041] The locking plug-in 447 includes a locking column 4471, which is movably inserted between the outer ring movable hole 442, the upper movable hole 443, the lower movable hole 444, the locking socket 445 and the lower socket 446. The outer part of the locking column 4471 is fixedly installed with an outer ring plate 4472 inside the outer ring movable hole 442, and a return spring 4473 is installed outside the locking column 4471 between the bottom of the outer ring plate 4472 and the bottom of the outer ring movable hole 442. The bottom of the locking column 4471 is fixedly installed with a pull ring 4474 below the lower socket 446.

[0042] The locking plug-in 447 pulls the locking column 4471 through the pull ring 4474 to move among the outer ring movable hole 442, the upper movable hole 443, the lower movable hole 444, the locking socket 445 and the lower socket 446. When the T-shaped slider 441 slides, the pull ring 4474 is pulled downward to disengage the locking column 4471 from the locking socket 445. When locking is required, the pull ring 4474 can be released, and the outer ring piece 4472 can be driven to rise by the elastic force of the reset spring 4473, thereby driving the locking column 4471 to be inserted into the interior of the locking socket 445.
