Integration of supply functions in a storage compartment

摘要

Integration of supply functions is provided in a storage compartment. In particular, an integrated module is provided, which can be mounted in the overhead area of a passenger cabin, and exhibits different system components, which are automatically hooked up to the supply system of the transport (e.g., an aircraft) during the mechanical installation of the module on the load-bearing structure of the cabin.

主权项

1. An aircraft, comprising:
a passenger cabin having a cabin wall; a first rail directly coupled to the cabin wall that extends continuously along the cabin wall from a front end of the passenger cabin to near a rear end of the passenger cabin along a first axis substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the aircraft; a second rail directly coupled to the cabin wall that extends continuously along the cabin wall from a front end of the passenger cabin to near a rear end of the passenger cabin along a second axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and the first axis, the first axis different from the second axis; a first interface directly coupled to the cabin wall of the aircraft between the first rail and the second rail and spaced apart from the first rail and the second rail; a pivotable integrated module for mounting in an overhead area of the passenger cabin for holding luggage items and providing PSU functionality comprising: a system component for use by a passenger in the passenger cabin; a second interface that connects the system component to a supply line of the first interface of the aircraft; an upper attachment element configured to secure the pivotable integrated module to the first rail of the cabin wall by hooking the pivoted integrated module into the first rail; and a lower attachment element configured to secure the pivotable integrated module to the second rail of the cabin wall, wherein the second interface automatically connects the system component to the supply line of the aircraft when the pivotable integrated module is pivoted around one of the first rail and the second rail of the cabin wall, and is secured to the other of the second rail and the first rail; and wherein, when the pivotable integrated module is pivoted, the second interface of the pivotable integrated module is introduced into the corresponding first interface of the cabin wall.
