Abstract
The invention relates to a connection element for connecting at least one first conduit element or the like positioned in a supply chamber of an aircraft with at least one second conduit element positioned in a cabin chamber of an aircraft, wherein supply chamber and cabin chamber are separated from each other by means of a separation element, substantially comprising a connection part comprising fastening elements for fastening the first and second conduit element. Known connection elements have the disadvantage that there occur sealing problems due to the fastening of the fastening element at the outside of the connection part at the end facing the cabin chamber. A further disadvantage is that the connection elements protrude into the cabin chamber and form stumble edges there. In that at least the fastening element for the fastening the conduit element of the cabin chamber is provided within the connection part, there may be realised a compact structural shape which does not protrude from the separating element into the cabin chamber, and which may in addition be reliably sealed.
Description
- The invention relates to a connection element for connecting a first conduit element or the like positioned in a supply chamber of an aircraft with at least one second conduit element positioned in a cabin chamber of the aircraft, wherein supply chamber and cabin chamber are separated from each other by means of a separation part, substantially comprising a connection part comprising fastening element for fastening the first and second conduit elements.
- Connection elements of this kind are especially employed in aircraft construction. Aircraft usually have a cabin chamber in which at regular intervals so called center regions are provided. In these center regions there are provided kitchens, among others with separate cooling aggregates. In order to be flexible with respect to the position of the individual aggregates within the center region for creating so called flex-zones, there are usually provided several connections at which the or each aggregate may be adapted. For supplying the aggregates with the necessary supply lines or offtake lines for the cooling medium or the like which are commonly situated below the bottom plate of the cabin in so called supply chambers, connection elements are necessary which secure the bottom feed-through, namely the connection between a conduit element in the supply chamber to a conduit element in the cabin chamber. As conduit elements, there are understood all tube elements, hose elements, tube-hose elements or connection elements of other kinds. Besides the conduits for supply and leading-out of, for example, cooling element in the cabin region, below the bottom plate in the supply chamber there are also further conduit elements, for example the main conduit for the air conditioner, as well as cross beams and other members.
- The known connection elements have a tubular connection part which at least partly extends into the cabin chamber through the separation element. At the section of the connection part extending into the cabin chamber, at the outer side thereof is disposed a connection element corresponding to respective fastening element at the conduit element. Usually, the connection part is provided with an outer thread onto which the conduit element of the cabin chamber is screwed.
- On the one hand, this has the disadvantage that a big structural shape is necessary, namely particularly a big installation height. Thereby, an installation above cross beams or main conduits for the air conditioner in the supply chamber is not possible. On the other hand, due to the excess length with respect to the bottom plate, the connection elements form an abutting edge, which presents a stumbling danger in the cabin chamber and complicates the mounting of a kitchen as well as the change of position of individual aggregates. Moreover, the known connection elements have a sealing difficulty. By means of the outer thread of the connection element, a sealing with respect to humidity is not secured between the cabin chamber and the supply chamber (upper deck or lower deck). A further disadvantage is that the known connection elements require a very big insection in the bottom plate, which makes necessary a strengthening of the surrounding bottom plate.
- There may be a need to provide a compact connection element.
- According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a connection element of the above mentioned kind may be provided in that at least one fastening element for the fastening of the conduit element of the cabin chamber may be provided within the connection part. Thereby, on the one hand, may be effected that the connection part ends up with the separation part in a maximally flush manner. In other words, the connection element does not protrude from the separation element, so that a plane surface without stumble edges or the like may be ensured. Moreover, for example for pressure test purposes, the connection element may be provided with blind plug(s), that also do not protrude from the separation element into the cabin chamber. On the other hand, the connection elements according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, due to their construction, may be sufficiently compact that only a small installation height may be necessary which may also allow for an installation above cross beams, air conditioner conduits or other construction elements within the supply chamber and below the separation element. Further, the exemplary embodiment of the invention may allow for a simple and reliable sealing between the upper deck and the lower deck.
- According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a compact connection element may be provided which may allow for a secure and reliable feed-through of conduit elements via a separation element, and at the same time may be handled in an easy and comfortable manner.
- For example, the connection part may have an inner thread at the side facing the cabin chamber. Thereby, a particularly tight, flexible and easily manageable fastening of the conduit element of the cabin chamber may be possible. Due to the only small opening in the bottom plate, a strengthening of the bottom plate may be omitted.
- In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a flange element may be assigned to the connection part, wherein the flange element may be disposed with respect to the free end facing the cabin chamber in a standing-back manner. Thereby, on the one hand, a simple and fast mounting may be ensured. On the other hand, by means of the flange element, an optimal sealing possibility for sealing with respect to humidity may be created between the upper deck and the lower deck.
- For example, there may be a tube part assigned to the connection part at the side opposite to the free end, wherein the tube part may be fixedly connected to the connection element, and may be selectively provided straight or bent. This may also allow for the installation between the separation element on the one hand, and cross beams, conduits or other members within the supply chamber on the other hand, so that the flex-zones of the center regions may be provided in any zones within the cabin chamber, which element may be provided also above cross beams, traverse conduits or the like.
- Further exemplary features and embodiments result from the dependent claims and the description. Exemplary embodiments are further explained with reference to the accompanying drawing.

For being fastened at thebottom plate 14, theflange element 26 has several, preferably three, bores 34. Alternatively, there may also be provided rivetted-on nuts or similar elements. - The
tube part 27 protruding into thesupply chamber 12 may be provided or shaped, respectively, in different forms, and be disposed at different positions at theconnection part 19. Especially in theFIGS. 2 and 5 a, 5 b, a straight provision and arrangement of thetube part 27 is shown. Therein, thetube part 27 is shaped cylindrically. Themiddle axis 29 of thetube part 27 proceeds parallel to themiddle axis 30 of theconnection part 19 or is congruent therewith, respectively. This especially simple construction shape is advantageous, if there are no disturbing components disposed in thesupply chamber 12 in the region of theopening 28. In case that in thesupply chamber 12 in the region of theopening 28, there are disposed components, like forexample crossbeams 15 or the traverse conduit 16 (as shown inFIG. 3 ), to the one hand, thetube part 27 is provided in bent form. To the other hand, thetube part 27 is further disposed at an angle with respect to theconnection part 19, so that themiddle axes - In the mounted state of the
