By means of the technical solution, the air films in the air cabin are pushed by using compressed air to drive the push rod to transfer a thrust force, so that the locking arms are unfolded, and the locking brake and the brake release are implemented in a pneumatic way. Therefore, the problems in the prior art that a great amount of electric energy is consumed and the noise is difficult to eliminate can be solved, no noise is generated during operation, the safety is high, the structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is greatly reduced.
