To provide a door opening/closing mechanism that can be easily installed in an aircraft lavatory unit of an existing aircraft, and is advantageous for prevention of Covid-19 infection onboard.SOLUTION: The door opening/closing mechanism includes a powered door opening mechanism 34 for moving a door 20 from a closed position to an open position. The powered door opening mechanism 34 includes: non-contact sensors 36 provided inside and outside a lavatory 1002 for detecting a part of the human body; a member 40 to be engaged that is provided on the door 20 and extends above the door 20; an engaging member 42 provided above the door 20 in the lavatory 1002, capable of engaging, from the door 20 side, with the member 40 to be engaged from the closed position of the door 20 to the open position of the door 20, and being in an open state in a direction away from the door 20; and an actuator 44 that moves the engaging member 42 in a direction away from a doorway 1212 according to a detection signal from the non-contact sensor 36, to move the door 20 from the closed position to the open position via the member 40 to be engaged.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11
【課題】既存の航空機の航空機用化粧室ユニットにも簡単に設置することができ、機内における新型コロナの感染予防を図る上で有利な扉開閉機構を提供する。【解決手段】扉20を閉塞位置から開放位置に移動させる動力式扉開放機構34を設ける。動力式扉開放機構34は、化粧室1002の内部と外部に設けられ人体の一部を検出する非接触センサ36と、扉20に設けられ扉20よりも上方に延在する被係合部材40と、化粧室1002内で扉20よりも上方の箇所に設けられ、扉20の閉塞位置から扉20の開放位置まで扉20側から被係合部材40に係合可能で扉20から離れる方向に開放状の係合部材42と、非接触センサ36からの検出信号により係合部材42を出入口1212から離れる方向に移動させ被係合部材40を介して扉20を閉塞位置から開放位置に移動させるアクチュエータ44とを備える。【選択図】図11
