Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention concerns a control unit device for an aircraft seat, with a control and/or regulating unit, with at least one actuator unit coupled to the control and/or regulating unit, and with at least one additional unit. According to the invention, the additional unit is coupled via the actuator unit to the control and/or regulating unit.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A control unit device for an aircraft seat, having a control and/or regulation unit, having at least one actuator unit which is coupled to the control and/or regulation unit, and having at least one additional unit, wherein the additional unit is coupled to the control and/or regulation unit via the actuator unit. 2 . The control unit device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the actuator unit comprises at least one plug element, via which the actuator unit is coupled to the control and/or regulation unit, wherein the additional unit is connected to the actuator unit via the plug element. 3 . The control unit device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plug element has at least one pin via which the actuator unit is connected to the control and/or regulation unit, and has at least one further pin, via which the additional unit is connected to the actuator unit. 4 . The control unit device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the actuator unit has an integrated control unit which has at least one input, via which the pin for the additional unit is connected. 5 . The control unit device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the additional unit is embodied as a sensor element. 6 . The control unit device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the additional unit is embodied as an actuator element. 7 . The control unit device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plug element is embodied as an aviation-approved plug element. 8 . The control unit device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plug element is embodied as a D-sub 9-pin plug. 9 . A method for connecting an actuator unit and an additional unit to a control and/or regulation unit, wherein the additional unit is connected to the control and/or regulation unit via the actuator unit. 10 . An aircraft seat having a control unit device as claimed in claim 1 . 11 . The control unit device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the plug element has at least one pin via which the actuator unit is connected to the control and/or regulation unit, and has at least one further pin, via which the additional unit is connected to the actuator unit. 12 . The control unit device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the actuator unit has an integrated control unit which has at least one input, via which the pin for the additional unit is connected. 13 . The control unit device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the additional unit is embodied as a sensor element. 14 . The control unit device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the additional unit is embodied as an actuator element. 15 . The control unit device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the plug element is embodied as an aviation-approved plug element. 16 . The control unit device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the plug element is embodied as a D-sub 9-pin plug. 17 . An aircraft seat having a control unit device as claimed in claim 2 . 18 . The control unit device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the actuator unit has an integrated control unit which has at least one input, via which the pin for the additional unit is connected. 19 . The control unit device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the additional unit is embodied as a sensor element. 20 . The control unit device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the additional unit is embodied as an actuator element.
