The sensor unit 400 may include a pressure sensor 410 for detecting the weight of the luggage loaded in the luggage compartment 200, in this case, the sensor unit 400 is the luggage compartment 200. When it is determined that there is no luggage in the luggage compartment 200 and when it is determined that there is no luggage, different signals may be transmitted.

Alternatively, the sensor unit 400 may include an infrared sensor 420 for detecting the body temperature or movement of a passenger on the aircraft, and in this case, the sensor unit 400 indicates that there are passengers in the aircraft. It may be provided to transmit different signals when it is determined and when it is determined that there is no passenger in the aircraft.

The sensor unit 400 includes at least one of a pressure sensor 410 for detecting the weight of the luggage loaded in the luggage compartment 200 and an infrared sensor 420 for detecting the body temperature or movement of a passenger on the aircraft. may include That is, if necessary, the sensor unit 400 may be provided to include only the pressure sensor 410 , or may be provided to include only the infrared sensor 420 , and the pressure sensor 410 and the infrared sensor 420 . It may be provided to include all of them. If the sensor unit 400 is provided to include both the pressure sensor 410 and the infrared sensor 420, the sterilization lamp 320 generates sterilization light only when both conditions are satisfied. can be controlled, so that the sterilization of the interior of the aircraft can be performed in a safer state.

In contrast, the sensor unit 400 does not detect the weight of the luggage loaded in the luggage compartment 200 or the body temperature or movement of a passenger on the aircraft, so that a second signal different from the first signal is generated. When transmitting, the control unit 450 may be provided to electrically connect the sterilization unit 350 and the power supply unit 340 after receiving the second signal. On the other hand, when the sensor unit 400 does not detect the weight of the luggage loaded in the luggage compartment 200 or does not detect the body temperature or movement of a passenger on the aircraft, the sensor unit 400 2 Instead of transmitting the signal, no signal may be transmitted. At this time, if the control unit 450 does not receive any signal, it may be provided to electrically connect the sterilization unit 350 and the power supply unit 340 . there is.

The power supply unit 340, one end is electrically connected to the sterilization lamp 320, the other end is electrically connected to an external power source (not shown), the connector unit 360, and the connector unit 360 is electrically It may include a ballast 365 for a germicidal lamp connected to.
