[0032] Implementation Method 1
[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment is an optional embodiment of this application, which discloses a storage box for an aircraft, including a box body 1, and a number of horizontal partitions 6 and a number of vertical partitions 5 are provided in the box body 1 according to the required number and volume of storage cabinets 2.
[0034] Each of the transverse partitions 6 is arranged horizontally, and each of the longitudinal partitions 5 is arranged vertically. Each of the longitudinal partitions 5 is provided with a snap-fit strip 7, which is U-shaped in general. Snap-fit strips 7 are also provided on the side wall of the box body 1.
[0035] During installation, the top and bottom of the longitudinal partition 5 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the housing 1, respectively;
[0036] Each of the transverse partitions 6 is disposed between two adjacent longitudinal partitions 5; each of the transverse partitions 6 is connected to a corresponding snap-fit strip 7;
[0037] The box 1 is divided into several storage cabinets 2 by the horizontal partition 6 and the vertical partition 5. Along the vertical direction, two horizontal partitions 6 are provided between any two adjacent storage cabinets 2. The two horizontal partitions 6 are parallel, and there is a storage cavity 3 between the two horizontal partitions 6.
[0038] Each of the storage cabinets 2 is equipped with a sliding adjustment module at its entrance end. The sliding adjustment module includes two slide rails 14, and a slider 13 is slidably mounted on each of the two slide rails 14. Along the depth direction of the storage cavity 3, the two slide rails 14 are respectively placed on both sides of the storage cavity 3.
[0039] Furthermore, two hinge modules are provided at the entrance end of the storage cabinet 2. The two hinge modules are located on both sides of the entrance end and are respectively adapted to the slider 13 on the same side. The hinge module includes a hinge shaft 11 and a rolling bearing 12. At the same time, a cabinet door 4 is also provided at the entrance end of each storage cabinet 2.
[0040] The two hinge shafts 11 of the two hinge modules are respectively connected to the cabinet door 4. At the same time, the two sliders 13 are provided with slots 15. The two rolling bearings 12 are respectively embedded in the slots 15 on the same side. The cabinet door 4 is rotatably connected to the rolling bearings 12 on the same side through the hinge shafts 11.
[0041] In the above structure, the hinged connection of the cabinet door 4 can be achieved through the cooperation of the hinge shaft 11 and the rolling bearing 12, making it easy to adjust the vertical cabinet door 4 to a horizontal state; while the cooperation of the slide rail 14 and the slider 13 can achieve the horizontal translational movement of the cabinet door 4, and the two movement modes do not interfere with each other. Therefore, the combination of rotational movement and translational movement ensures that the cabinet door 4 can be stored in the storage cavity 3, achieving concealed storage of the cabinet door 4; compared with the hinged opening method, this application fundamentally solves the safety hazards caused by the inability to store the cabinet door 4, and improves the safety of the storage box as much as possible, especially on aircraft where turbulence is very likely. The technical solution described in this application effectively avoids the impact caused by the cabinet door 4, and improves the safety of use;
[0042] Furthermore, a clearance groove 8 is provided on the top surface of the cabinet door 4, and a bolt 9 is hinged in the clearance groove 8; a bracket 10 adapted to the bolt 9 is also provided in the clearance groove 8.
[0043] In the non-working state, the bolt 9 is inserted into the relief groove 8, and the free end of the bolt 9 is fixed by the retainer 10.
[0044] The design of the bolt 9 makes it convenient for users to control the cabinet door 4, improving the ease of use of the equipment. At the same time, the bolt 9 can be hidden by the clearance groove 8, avoiding any impact on the storage of the cabinet door 4, and also avoiding any safety hazards caused by the bolt 9.
[0045] Furthermore, a locking module is provided between each of the cabinet doors 4 and the box body 1. The locking module includes a locking piece 16 and a locking seat 17, wherein the locking seat 17 is arranged in an L-shaped or U-shaped structure, thereby forming a insertion groove 18 on the locking seat 17; the locking piece 16 is rotatably mounted on the cabinet door 4 via a rotating shaft, and the locking seat 17 is disposed on the box body 1;
[0046] In use, the locking piece 16 is rotated toward the locking seat 17 and its free end is inserted into the insertion slot 18, thereby closing the cabinet door 4 through the cooperation of the locking piece 16 and the locking seat 17. The above structure is not only simple and improves the reliability and stability of the equipment, but also the locking piece 16 and the locking seat 17 are small in size and will not protrude outside the cabinet 1, which helps to reduce safety hazards.
[0047] Finally, the locking piece 16 and the locking seat 17 do not occupy the internal space of the locker 2, which helps to improve the utilization rate of storage space.
[0048] Furthermore, the locking module also includes a lock hole 19 and an automatic locking module, wherein the automatic locking module is disposed on the housing 1, and the lock hole 19 is disposed on the side wall of the cabinet door 4;
[0049] The automatic locking module includes a housing 20, within which a locking tongue 21 is slidably disposed. Along the axial direction of the locking tongue 21, one end of the locking tongue 21 engages with the lock hole 19, thereby achieving locking by inserting into the lock hole 19, and the other end is connected to a pull rod 22. A pressing plate 24 is also disposed on the section of the locking tongue 21 located inside the housing 20. A return spring 23 is also disposed inside the housing 20, and the return spring 23 is sleeved on the locking tongue 21, with both ends of the return spring 23 abutting against the housing 20 and the pressing plate 24, respectively.
[0050] The above structure enables automatic opening and closing of the latch, while also allowing for manual adjustment via a lever to meet diverse adjustment needs. It also ensures the stability of the cabinet door when it is folded up, preventing it from sliding and thus avoiding safety accidents.
[0051] Furthermore, a number of support seats 25 are provided at the bottom of the housing 1, and a number of bolt holes are provided on the support seats 25. The support seats 25 are connected to the bolts on the ground of the aircraft by connecting bolts.
[0052] This application achieves the storage of the cabinet door through a storage cavity. Compared with the existing hinged door design, it can fundamentally solve the safety hazards caused by the inability to store the cabinet door, and improve the safety of the storage box as much as possible. Especially on airplanes where turbulence is very likely, the technical solution described in this application effectively avoids the collision caused by the cabinet door and improves the safety of use.
[0053] Secondly, by concealing the cabinet doors through storage compartments, the cabin becomes tidier, and the doors also prevent obstruction of the view, helping staff to quickly find the items they need in each locker.
[0054] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
