Abstract

A holding apparatus for at least one storage medium has a housing in which a supporting structure is arranged. The supporting structure is in this case connected to the housing with vibration damping via a damping device. A storage medium is arranged in the supporting structure. The storage medium is bounded in a pressuretight manner from an external atmosphere. A cooling element is provided for cooling the storage medium.

Claims (20)

1. A holding apparatus for at least one storage medium, wherein the storage medium is arranged in a supporting structure which is connected to a housing, which surrounds the supporting structure, with vibration damping via a damping device, with the storage medium being bounded in a pressure-tight manner from an external atmosphere, and with a cooling element being provided for cooling the storage medium.

2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a controller is arranged on the supporting structure.

3. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the damping device has two or more vibration isolators.

4. The apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the vibration isolators are wire cable vibration dampers.

5. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing has means for attachment to an adapter which is connected to an aircraft.

6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the housing has coupling elements which is connected to coupling elements of the adapter in order to transmit/receive signals and/or a supply voltage.

7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the supporting structure in which the storage medium is arranged is pressure-tight.

8. The apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the controller is arranged on the outside of the supporting structure.

9. The apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein thermally conductive elements are arranged between the inside of the supporting structure and the storage medium.

10. The apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the thermally conductive elements are conductive mats.

11. The apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the outside of the supporting structure is provided with cooling ribs.

12. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cooling element is used for cooling the outside of the supporting structure and/or of the controller and/or further system components.

13. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing has air aperture openings for convection with the external atmosphere.

14. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cooling element is in the form of a fan which introduces air from outside the housing into the housing.

15. The apparatus as claimed in claim 14 , wherein a baffle cloth is provided in order to control the air flow between the fan and the supporting structure.

16. The apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the internal area which is formed by the supporting structure is essentially matched with the shape of the storage medium.

17. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing is pressure-tight.

18. The apparatus as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the supporting structure allows circulation of the gaseous medium which is enclosed in the housing around the storage medium.

19. The apparatus as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the cooling element is arranged within the housing and is a fan.

20. The apparatus as claimed in claim 17 , wherein a baffle cloth is provided in order to control the circulation of the gaseous medium.
