Definitions
- the invention relates to a method according to claim 1, a device according to claim 13 and a furniture according to claim 24.
- an adjustment or correction of the closing gap may be desired, for example, to be able to vote the closing gap on adjacent sections.
- This is of particular interest in the case of a plurality of movable furniture parts representing a unit, which in the closed state of all movable furniture parts when viewed together should produce a strictly uniform visual impression, in particular in order to create an undisturbed visible surface, which consists of e.g. aesthetic reasons is desired.
- this can only be achieved if all the closed front parts of the plurality of furniture parts are exactly aligned with each other, which can only be achieved with correspondingly arranged closing gaps.
- the object of the invention is to be able to perform the setting of a closing gap between a driven movable furniture part and a stationary furniture part in the closed end position of the movable furniture part comparatively accurately and easily.
- the invention is initially based on a method for setting a closing gap in a piece of furniture
- the one Device comprises for moving a movable furniture part relative to a stationary furniture part with a drive unit by means of which a control unit for controlling movement of the movable furniture part this is driven relative to the fixed furniture part movable, wherein in a closed position of the movable furniture part relative to the fixed furniture part of the closing gap between a front part is formed of the movable furniture part and the fixed furniture part.
- An essential aspect of the invention is that in an activated electronically assisted adjustment mode, the closing gap is adjusted.
- an exact adjustment of a closing gap can be achieved in a comfortable manner, or without tools and effectively. In particular, no suitably qualified personnel or manual procedure is necessary for this.
- different setting parameters can be specified flexibly and precisely.
- a closing gap can be significantly increased or reduced in size and, if necessary, also reset. Also can be an electronic way higher reproducibility of VerstellvorĂȘtn be provided.
- a default setting closing gap or front gap when the closing gap is formed on a front furniture part, e.g. in drawers, adjusted in parallel.
- a default 2 to 4 millimeters preset closing gap can still be reduced, but preferably without falling below a minimum gap width, or in particular be increased.
- An at least necessary closing gap size is to be considered in particular if, for example, a touch-latch function is provided in the movable furniture part or if for a triggering command the movable furniture part must have a closing gap in order to trigger a movement of the movable furniture part in the direction of the fixed Furniture part is required, which briefly reduces the closing gap.
- a reliable over the life safe release must be ensured by a corresponding value of the closing gap. Frequently, therefore, only an enlargement of a preset closing gap is possible.
- an adjustment of the closing gap by a preferably determined by an operator sequence of opening and / or closing movements of the movable furniture part is made.
- a sequence of opening or closing movements of the movable furniture part is carried out, including a triggering of the opening or closing movement is to be understood or the actual Movement of the considered furniture part does not necessarily have to expire. If an opening or closing movement takes place, this can at least be supported by the drive unit for the movable furniture part, which increases the user-friendliness, in particular when relatively heavily loaded furniture parts are moved.
- control unit may, for the purposes of the invention, be understood to mean e.g. a control or control unit are understood, in particular a computing or computer unit, which in particular comprises a component for the movement control of a plurality of movable furniture parts and possibly is responsible for all relevant movable furniture parts or controls these respectively.
- control unit may have a plurality of sub-units communicating with each other, which are responsible for the movement control of a plurality of movable furniture parts, wherein a sub-unit controls at least one of the movable furniture parts.
- an additional element is connected to the control unit for working in the setting mode.
- a setting mode can be set up or left safe again and on the other hand, an accidental or unwanted change in the closing gap can be avoided with high probability, since working only in the adjustment mode with additional element.
- control unit in particular, a setting mode or a program or appropriate means may be present in the control unit, which can be activated to work in setting mode and then deactivated.
- an opening and / or closing movement of the movable furniture part caused by the drive unit and carried out manually by the operator and not supported by the drive unit is preferably carried out.
- the Sch Stammspalteingna can be realized in a straightforward way and in particular without additional devices.
- the combination of manual and driven movement can also be almost ruled out that there is an accidental adjustment of the closing gap.
- the operator has to perform only a few or familiar operations.
- the manual or the further opening or closing movements of the movable furniture part can be supported by the drive unit or accomplished alone. This overall facilitates the process of Sch Stammspalteinstellens.
- the movable furniture part brought from its closed position by means of the drive unit in a position from which the movable furniture part of the operator manually without support by the drive unit in a closed position under training of desired closing gap is moved.
- the closing gap is adjustable by the person depending on the desired gap size. For exact adjustment or for an adjustment of the movable furniture part with adjacent sections, the person to determine the desired closing gap position simple aids, for example, a ruler or a spirit level to help.
- information about a closing position of the movable furniture part reached in the setting mode is supplied to the control unit by means of existing position detection means.
- existing position detection means can be used for adjusting the closing gap. Because often position detecting means are already present in devices for moving the movable furniture part relative to the fixed furniture part with which an exact position of the movable furniture part with the established closing gap can be determined without additional effort and the corresponding information can be further processed or stored.
- the information about the closing position of the movable furniture part reached in the setting mode is stored in the control unit when the operator issues a finishing command after the closing position of the movable furniture part is reached.
- This can also allow a multiple adjustment of a currently formed closing gap in setting mode. Only when a definitely desired closing gap is reached, the corresponding information about a completion command of the control unit is provided. Only then will this Used information such that at all subsequent closing positions of this closing gap is formed. A misadjustment of a closing gap or an excessively complicated work in the electronically assisted setting mode of the closing gap can thus be circumvented.
- the closing command is issued by acting on the movable furniture part by pressing and / or pulling within a predeterminable time interval after reaching the closed position.
- the configuration method can be further simplified. Because after reaching the desired closed position and the formation of a corresponding closing gap, the verification of the current Schyogspalt acid can be done by a simple handle. Thus, e.g. a certain period of time to assess the currently formed closing gap are granted or remain open a possibility for its readjustment. Also, the control unit does not have to wait for an excessively long time in a wait state, if in the predetermined period of time no completion command has been made, whereby the complexity of the setting mode can be limited.
- closing gap setting is to be understood as equivalent to the term "depth settingâ.
- a particularly preferred variant of the method according to the invention is characterized in that in the activated setting mode a set closing gap for the movable furniture part is changed by the relevant movable furniture part from its closed position with the drive unit one or more times by one with an input command of the operator the drive unit is minimallyrovlegbare minimum distance in the opening or closing direction is moved and the correspondingly achieved new closing gap in the control unit is stored as soon as the operator issues a completion command.
- This makes it possible to change the closing gap by a minimum possible driventechnischlegbare route without manual intervention.
- the fact can be made use of the fact that the drive unit, the movable furniture part usually by defined or relatively minimal distances in one or in the opposite direction can move driven.
- This minimum distance can be performed manually or by a person almost irreproducible.
- this powered step-by-step minimum adjustment can be used in both directions. If a drive effect is realized on a movable furniture part via, for example, two drive transmission elements, eg right and left on a relatively wide furniture drawer, a forward movement may take place via a drive transmission element on one side of the drawer and with the other drive transmission elements on the other side in the opposite direction each realized by the minimum or a small distance, whereby in addition to the Sch Schweizerspaltbetician a parallel adjustment of the drawer relative to a fixed furniture part is possible.
- the invention also relates to a device for moving a movable furniture part relative to a fixed furniture part with a drive unit by means of which a control unit for controlling movement of the movable furniture part of this movable relative to the fixed furniture part is movable, wherein in a closed position of the movable furniture part relative to the stationary furniture part adjustable closing gap between a front end of the movable furniture part and the fixed furniture part can be formed.
- a control unit is designed to set a closing gap in an activated electronically assisted setting mode.
- an adjustment of the closing gap by a preferably of an operator certain sequence of opening and / or closing movements of the movable furniture part can be made.
- control unit is configured for working in setting mode with an additional element to establish a connection.
- control unit in order to ensure safe access to the setting mode or a safe exit from the setting mode, it is advantageous if the control unit can establish a connection to the additional element, wherein the additional element can also be integrated in the control unit.
- the connection can be established permanently or else only for the purpose of the setting mode.
- a dongle in addition to a PC or a laptop, in particular a different element from a computer can be used, for example a so-called dongle. This has the particular advantage that a person to work with the dongle has no special knowledge, which, however, when working with a laptop are needed.
- control unit is designed to work in the activated setting mode with a stored program and / or logic to set the closing gap. This makes it possible to set up a program created especially for the setting mode for setting the closing gap, which simplifies the setting mode or, if appropriate, which can be specially tuned for different applications, for example tunable for sliding systems or swivel systems.
- setting modes can be stored in the drive unit, which can be selectively accessed or which can be activated or deactivated for the setting mode. Let it be possibly use different setting modes.
- control unit is configured to provide information about a setting process when setting the closing gap, in particular via the output means provided in the additional element.
- This enables effective and fast working in the setting mode.
- an activated or deactivated configuration mode can be indicated by a corresponding acoustic signal.
- an activated setting mode is displayed via a first acoustic signal.
- the acoustic signal changes, so that a person knows that is now working in setting mode.
- the signal may include, for example, a beeping tone interrupted at frequent intervals and a beeping tone interrupted at long intervals.
- an activated or deactivated configuration mode can be displayed or the working in the configuration mode can be indicated by the beep tone interrupted at short intervals as a result of the interrupted beep sound interrupted at long intervals.
- optical, haptic and / or acoustic signals for the information output to an operator can also be provided.
- control unit is designed to move in the activated setting mode after an input command of the operator, the relevant movable furniture part from its closed position with the drive unit to a parking position and information on a subsequently performed manually by the operator without support by the drive unit movement of the movable furniture part the parking position to process into a closed position to form the desired closing gap.
- control unit is designed to store information about the closing position of the movable furniture part reached in the setting mode in the control unit for the adjustment of the closing gap when the operator issues a closing command after the closing position has been reached.
- control unit is designed to store the information about the closing position of the movable furniture part reached in the setting mode when the closing command granted by acting on the movable furniture part by pressing and / or pulling within a predetermined time interval after reaching the closed position becomes.
- control unit is formed, in the activated setting mode for a plurality of movable furniture parts successively the setting of Make closing gap. This can be done time-effective for a plurality of movable furniture parts or the above advantages can be achieved.
- control unit is designed so as to take over a set closing gap for the movable furniture part unchanged in the activated setting mode, if after a done with the drive unit movement of the relevant movable furniture part in a parking position, the movable furniture part by acting on the relevant furniture part is moved by manual pulling and / or pressing without support by the drive unit.
- This also allows an already set closing gap, if this is not to be changed, take over uncomplicated.
- the assumption of a set closing gap can be made so that after the driven movement, a person acts on the relevant furniture part, that a movement takes place, which is opposite to the previously driven movement direction and / or whose amplitude is significantly greater than for a Sch Strukturspalteingnazan.
- control unit is designed to change in the activated setting mode a set closing gap for the movable furniture part and the control unit is designed, after an input command of the operator, the respective movable furniture part with the drive unit one or more times in succession to one with the drive unit to move minimum distance that can be traveled in the opening or closing direction and to save the correspondingly achieved new closing gap in the control unit as soon as the operator issues a closing command.
- the invention also relates to a piece of furniture with one of the above said devices.
- the advantages achieved with the device or the corresponding method can also be achieved for the corresponding furniture.
- FIG. 1 is a piece of furniture 1 with a fixed furniture part or a furniture body 2 and on this movably guided furniture drawers 3 with several drawers 4 to 14 shown.
- An outer drawer 11 can cover the front part 9a of an inner drawer 9 and the front part 10a of an inner drawer 10 with its front part 11a.
- the furniture 1 shows a cuboid shape.
- the furniture body 2 comprises two outer side walls 2a and 2b, an upper part 2c, a bottom part 2d and also an in FIG. 1 unrecognizable back wall.
- the furniture body 2 also has inside the furniture body parallel to the side walls 2a, 2b extending inner walls 2e and 2f.
- the furniture drawers 3 can be inserted or extended according to the double arrow P relative to the furniture body 2.
- the drawers 4 to 9 and 12 to 14 are each in the closed position, whereas the inner drawer 10 in about half or the Outer drawer 11 is completely open relative to the furniture body 2.
- the front of the furniture 1 with front parts of the furniture drawers 3 represents an operating page for the operation or the loading and unloading of the drawers by a person.
- the arrangement of the drawers facing the front of the furniture 1 according to FIG. 1 consists of three columns each with several drawers positioned one above the other.
- the left column, seen from the front, comprises between the side wall 2b and the inner wall 2f the similar drawers 4 to 7 and the middle gaps between the inner walls 2e and 2f the drawers 8 to 11 and the right column between the inner wall 2e and the side wall 2a Drawers 12 to 14.
- each furniture push 4 to 14 relative to the furniture body 2 is a device, not shown, for example according to one of the in the WO 2006/029 894 A1 explained devices, provided for influencing the movement of the furniture drawers 3, wherein the driven movement takes place with a drive unit or a control unit for controlling movement of the furniture drawers 3. Also not shown are connecting lines or the like for supplying the device for influencing movement.
- the drawers 4 to 6 are provided on their drawer fronts each with a handle element 15 to 17 and the drawer 7 with an unrecognizable further handle element to manually grab the drawer in question and in particular to pull on the drawer. Therefore, it is basically possible that the drawers 4 to 7 are not driven by the drive unit but only manually operated are movable. It is also conceivable that the drawers 4 to 7 are driven and manually movable to For example, in their manually performed by a person movement to assist with the drive unit, especially when opening.
- the other drawers are movable in particular with the drive unit, and it is conceivable that a driven movable drawer can be moved manually with or without assistance from the drive unit.
- the drawers 4 to 7 can be manually mounted on the handle elements, wherein the drive unit in particular as a support for the user applies a drive effect.
- the drive unit can be designed in many ways and can be connected to electrical means, e.g. work with the help of an electric motor or not electrically by mechanical means or work with a combination of these means.
- the opening and / or closing movement can be wholly or partially driven, e.g. when ejection means are provided for ejecting the movable furniture part from a closed position to an at least partially open position.
- the drawers 8 to 14 are provided at their front parts 8a to 14a without contour or without a handle element or other assistance for pulling on the respective furniture part.
- the drawers 4 to 14 may be with or without e.g. be provided in particular ejector or touch-latch functionality.
- the drawers 8 to 14 can be triggered, for example, by tapping on the front of a drawer or open or close.
- a closing gap between an inside of the drawer front and sections of the furniture body 2 is formed in the closed state relative to the furniture body 2.
- the closing or front gap is usually set at the installation site, eg at to place any oblique fronts parallel or to achieve a tolerance compensation.
- the closing gap setting is made in an activated setting or configuration mode.
- the activated configuration mode can be displayed, for example, by beeps which, for example, beep in interrupted intervals of, for example, two seconds. If a drawer had to be unhooked from the furniture carcass in order to activate the configuration mode, it must be replaced again for further configuration and brought into the closed position.
- a drawer in the closed position which is provided, for example, without a handle element or with a touch latch functionality and whose closing gap has to be changed or reduced or enlarged in relation to a given or standard setting, is then tapped or pressed slightly in the direction of the furniture carcass.
- the existing closing gap decreases for a short time or a triggering command is issued to open the relevant drawer.
- the thus triggered drawer drives powered by a small predetermined path, for example, from about 5 cm forward.
- An additional element connected to the control unit now beeps in a different rhythm, eg at short intervals of eg 0.5 seconds.
- the slightly open tray is manually inserted without assistance with the drive unit, for example, when the motor is de-energized to a closed position to form the desired Closing gap.
- This can be done to facilitate the determination of the exact position, for example, with a ruler or the like, for example, an aligned alignment is achieved with serving as a reference surface portion of an adjacent drawer.
- the drawer in question for example, be aligned with an adjacent closed drawer, which protrudes a little further in the closed state than the drawer concerned in the closed state. If the adjacent drawer protrudes less than the drawer in question, resulting in a reduction of the existing closing gap. Now, the newly found closed position or the associated closing gap must be accepted or stored.
- the "Enterâ command can be executed within a time window of e.g. 10 seconds, calculated from the time of the currently achieved closing gap position or the newly found closing position, carried out such that the just set front from the current position to the inner stop or at least from the touch-latch factory setting to the inner stop is pressed. If, on the other hand, no "Enter" command is entered within the time window, the additional element automatically returns to the slow beep.
- the drawer thus triggered is driven out by the small presettable path but pulled against a drawer front as described above, this means that the existing closing gap setting for this drawer is not reconfigured and unchanged last programmed. Now, the drawer can be pulled without power to the outer end stop or in the open position and then pushes against the front moves the drawer driven in the closed position with the last programmed closing gap.
- This procedure corresponds to a kind of "escapeâ command and makes it possible, if necessary, to unhook a drawer sitting in front of the additional unit and to switch the auxiliary unit in order to exit the configuration mode. Also, a check of the last set closing gap is possible.
- a front column setting done such that is switched with a switch or control element on the auxiliary unit in another configuration mode eg "front column settingâ.
- a switch or control element on the auxiliary unit in another configuration mode eg "front column settingâ.
- the movable furniture part to be adjusted is then acted, for example, by tapping.
- the movable furniture part moves out a fully closed position pulse by pulse in the opening direction.
- the movable furniture part can start from a closed position, if necessary, without a front gap being present or from a position at an inner stop, and moves by at least one drive pulse or by a distance driven in the opening direction.
- the achieved front gap setting is confirmed by repeatedly tapping the movable furniture part or completed the front gap configuration.
- a slightly less elegant solution provides that, after activation of the configuration mode, the drawer is driven, for example by tapping, into a position on an inner end stop and from there one pulse further out, was specified as the last closing gap setting. If the newly achieved by an impulse or corresponding distance enlarged closing gap sufficiently large, can be acted on any other drawer or operated from the outside by pressing, whereby the new closing gap is taken or stored. If the closing gap is not yet sufficient, the relevant drawer is tapped again and this is driven by a further pulse driven forward or in the opening direction. So can be moved until reaching the desired closing gap.
- the configuration mode is terminated when the desired closing gap has been reached by, for example, expiration of a self-timing or actuation of the switch on the auxiliary unit or another operating element.
- the auxiliary unit can be permanently integrated in the device for influencing the movement or even temporarily connected to it.
- the optional unit can for example be attached to the device with a simple handle and removed again, for example by plugging or unplugging.
- the auxiliary unit may comprise a separate component, for example a small or mainframe computer, a laptop, a PDA, a network structure, a chip element or the like, or be integrated in the device or the control unit.
- At the additional element input and / or output means may be present, for example a keypad or at least one switch.
- the additional unit can also be designed as an electronic switch or as a so-called dongle, for example in the form of an electronic key.
- the dongle may e.g. tell a bus master that the configuration is in progress.
- an additional element or dongle can be delivered with, in particular to allow the general and in particular the closing gap configuration.
- the dongle can for example be plugged in at a free outlet of a horizontal wiring. This makes the configuration easy for laymen to perform.
- the dongle can in particular have a switch position "configuration" that can be selected by a person.
- the dongle only needs to be plugged into a slot, e.g. a drawer system are plugged.
- a short release tone sounds, the readiness of the dongle is reached.
- the system detection expires, which can take up to approx. 1 minute, for example.
- the configuration process in the setting mode is only started after a continuously repeated signal tone.
- a reset to default settings or a "reset" function can be done by resetting the dongle to emergency operation.
- a switch on the dongle can be set to emergency mode.
- the dongle is put on a free outlet on the furniture or the device for influencing the movement and a corresponding signal sounds for confirmation. Now one waits until a continuously repeated signal sounds and then the dongle can be removed. This procedure restores a basic setting.
- a front view can be set up, in which all relevant fronts of the movable furniture parts or drawers are flush with each other. For example, a corresponding drawer is tapped when the dongle is plugged in and the system or the control unit adds a pulse to the preset basic setting or a touch-latch position. The drawer moves to a new touch latch position, which has a new front gap dimension.
- FIG. 1 shows a furniture with several drawers.
- the invention also relates to other furniture with driven movable furniture parts such as doors, flaps, Tablarausper, wire baskets, pharmacy cabinets, revolving doors or racks, carousels or the like.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 1, eine Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 13 und ein Möbel nach Anspruch 24.The invention relates to a method according to
Im Möbelbereich sind Vorrichtungen bekannt, die mit einer Kontrolleinheit und einer Antriebseinheit eine angetriebene Bewegung eines bewegbaren Möbelteils relativ zu einem feststehenden Möbelteil ermöglichen. Dies betrifft auch Anordnungen, bei denen in einer SchlieĂposition des bewegbaren Möbelteils gegenĂŒber dem feststehenden Möbelteil ein SchlieĂspalt zwischen einer Frontpartie des bewegbaren Möbelteils und dem feststehenden Möbelteil ausgebildet sein kann. HĂ€ufig ist es gewĂŒnscht einen SchlieĂspalt verstellen zu können. Die Spaltbreite, Gestalt bzw. der Verlauf des SchlieĂspalts wird ĂŒber die zueinander positionierten Abschnitte der betreffenden Möbelteile in der SchlieĂposition des bewegbaren Möbelteils beeinflusst. Daher kann die tatsĂ€chliche Ausbildung des SchlieĂspaltes insbesondere von Fertigungstoleranzen der im Möbelaufbau verwendeten Bauteile und/oder Abweichungen von idealen Montagepositionen abhĂ€ngen und somit eine Variationsbreite aufweisen. AuĂerdem kann es wĂ€hrend der Lebensdauer der Möbelteile durch deren Nutzung zu VerĂ€nderungen von Abschnitten kommen, beispielsweise durch MaterialverschleiĂ, was sich ebenfalls auf die SchlieĂspaltausbildung auswirken kann. Zumindest von Zeit zu Zeit ist daher eine SchlieĂspaltanpassung erforderlich.In the furniture sector, devices are known which enable a driven movement of a movable furniture part relative to a stationary furniture part with a control unit and a drive unit. This also applies to arrangements in which in a closed position of the movable furniture part relative to the stationary furniture part, a closing gap between a front end of the movable furniture part and the stationary furniture part may be formed. Often it is desired to be able to adjust a closing gap. The gap width, shape or the course of the closing gap is influenced by the mutually positioned portions of the respective furniture parts in the closed position of the movable furniture part. Therefore, the actual design of the closing gap can depend in particular on manufacturing tolerances of the components used in furniture construction and / or deviations from ideal mounting positions and thus have a range of variation. In addition, it can come during the life of the furniture parts by their use to changes of sections, for example by Material wear, which may also affect the SchlieĂspaltausbildung. At least from time to time, therefore, a closing gap adjustment is required.
AuĂerdem kann auch in den FĂ€llen, in denen ein betrachteter SchlieĂspalt selbst keine oder ggf. eine nur sehr geringe Abweichung von einem ursprĂŒnglich gewĂŒnschten SchlieĂspalt zeigt, eine Einstellung oder Korrektur des SchlieĂspalts gewĂŒnscht sein, zum Beispiel um den SchlieĂspalt auf angrenzende Abschnitte abstimmen zu können. Dies ist insbesondere bei mehreren eine Einheit darstellenden bewegbaren Möbelteilen von Interesse, die im geschlossen Zustand aller bewegbaren Möbelteile bei gemeinsamer Betrachtung einen streng einheitlichen optischen Eindruck erzeugen sollen, insbesondere um eine ungestörte SichtflĂ€che entstehen zu lassen, was aus z.B. Ă€sthetischen GrĂŒnden erwĂŒnscht ist. Dies ist aber nur dann zu erreichen, wenn alle geschlossenen Frontpartien der mehreren Möbelteile exakt zueinander fluchten, was nur bei entsprechend eingerichtete SchlieĂspalte realisierbar ist.In addition, even in the cases in which a closed gap considered even no or possibly only a very small deviation from an originally desired closing gap, an adjustment or correction of the closing gap may be desired, for example, to be able to vote the closing gap on adjacent sections. This is of particular interest in the case of a plurality of movable furniture parts representing a unit, which in the closed state of all movable furniture parts when viewed together should produce a strictly uniform visual impression, in particular in order to create an undisturbed visible surface, which consists of e.g. aesthetic reasons is desired. However, this can only be achieved if all the closed front parts of the plurality of furniture parts are exactly aligned with each other, which can only be achieved with correspondingly arranged closing gaps.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, das Einstellen eines SchlieĂspalts zwischen einem angetrieben bewegbaren Möbelteil und einem feststehenden Möbelteil in der geschlossenen Endlage des bewegbaren Möbelteils vergleichsweise exakt und einfach durchfĂŒhren zu können.The object of the invention is to be able to perform the setting of a closing gap between a driven movable furniture part and a stationary furniture part in the closed end position of the movable furniture part comparatively accurately and easily.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die AnsprĂŒche 1, 13 und 24 gelöst. In den abhĂ€ngigen AnsprĂŒchen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung aufgezeigt.This object is solved by the
Die Erfindung geht zunĂ€chst aus von einem Verfahren zur Einstellung eines SchlieĂspaltes bei einem Möbel, das eine Vorrichtung umfasst zum Bewegen eines bewegbaren Möbelteils relativ zu einem feststehenden Möbelteil mit einer Antriebseinheit mittels derer ĂŒber eine Kontrolleinheit zur Bewegungskontrolle des bewegbaren Möbelteils dieses relativ zum feststehenden Möbelteil angetrieben bewegbar ist, wobei in einer SchlieĂposition des bewegbaren Möbelteils gegenĂŒber dem feststehenden Möbelteil der SchlieĂspalt zwischen einer Frontpartie des bewegbaren Möbelteils und dem feststehenden Möbelteil ausgebildet ist. Ein wesentlicher Aspekt der Erfindung liegt darin, dass in einem aktivierten elektronisch unterstĂŒtzten Einstellmodus der SchlieĂspalt eingestellt wird.The invention is initially based on a method for setting a closing gap in a piece of furniture, the one Device comprises for moving a movable furniture part relative to a stationary furniture part with a drive unit by means of which a control unit for controlling movement of the movable furniture part this is driven relative to the fixed furniture part movable, wherein in a closed position of the movable furniture part relative to the fixed furniture part of the closing gap between a front part is formed of the movable furniture part and the fixed furniture part. An essential aspect of the invention is that in an activated electronically assisted adjustment mode, the closing gap is adjusted.
Bisher können Gegebenheiten, wie z.B. Bauteil- oder Montagetoleranzen, die sich auf den jeweiligen SchlieĂspalt auswirken, durch z.B. hĂ€ndisch in deren Position verĂ€nderbare Elemente vorgenommen werden, insbesondere durch versetzen von als mechanische FestanschlagflĂ€chen wirkende Bauteile z.B. AnschlĂ€ge oder Stellschrauben und dergleichen. Diese Vorgehensweise ist vergleichsweise aufwĂ€ndig und fĂŒhrt zu einer nur sehr begrenzten Genauigkeit der SchlieĂspalteinstellung. Des Weiteren muss hĂ€ufig aufgrund der Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Modellen im Möbelbereich fĂŒr unterschiedliche Modelle jeweils eine eigene Lösung gefunden werden, um den SchlieĂspalt nachzustellen.So far, conditions such as e.g. Component or assembly tolerances affecting the respective closing gap, e.g. in whose position variable elements are made, in particular by displacing components acting as mechanical fixed stop faces, e.g. Stops or screws and the like. This procedure is comparatively complicated and leads to a very limited accuracy of SchlieĂspalteinstellung. Furthermore, often due to the large number of different models in the furniture sector, a separate solution has to be found for different models in order to adjust the closing gap.
ErfindungsgemÀà lĂ€sst sich demgegenĂŒber auf bequeme Weise, bzw. werkzeuglos und effektiv eine exakte Einstellung eines SchlieĂspaltes realisieren. Insbesondere ist kein entsprechend qualifiziertes Personal bzw. handwerkliches Vorgehen dafĂŒr notwendig. AuĂerdem können mit einem elektronisch unterstĂŒtzten Einstellmodus unterschiedliche Einstellparameter flexibel und exakt vorgegeben werden. Insbesondere kann ein SchlieĂspalt deutlich feinstufiger vergröĂert oder verkleinert werden und ggf. auch wieder zurĂŒckgestellt werden. Auch kann auf elektronische Weise eine höhere Reproduzierbarkeit von VerstellvorgĂ€ngen bereitgestellt werden.In contrast, according to the invention, an exact adjustment of a closing gap can be achieved in a comfortable manner, or without tools and effectively. In particular, no suitably qualified personnel or manual procedure is necessary for this. In addition, with an electronically assisted adjustment mode, different setting parameters can be specified flexibly and precisely. In particular, a closing gap can be significantly increased or reduced in size and, if necessary, also reset. Also can be an electronic way higher reproducibility of VerstellvorgĂ€ngen be provided.
ErfindungsgemÀà kann auch problemlos z.B. zur Anpassung an benachbarte Einbauten oder als Toleranzausgleich bzw. bei höheren, labileren Frontkonstruktionen falls notwendig, ein standardmĂ€Ăig eingestellter SchlieĂspalt bzw. Frontspalt, wenn der SchlieĂspalt sich an einem Möbelteil frontseitig ausbildet, z.B. bei Schubladen, parallel verstellt werden. Bei Schubladen kann beispielsweise ein ca. 2 bis 4 Millimeter standardmĂ€Ăig voreingestellter SchlieĂspalt noch verringert werden, vorzugsweise ohne aber eine Mindestspaltbreite zu unterschreiten, oder insbesondere vergröĂert werden. Eine mindestens notwendige SchlieĂspaltgröĂe ist insbesondere zu beachten, wenn beispielsweise eine Touch-Latch-Funktion bei dem bewegbaren Möbelteil vorgesehen ist bzw. wenn fĂŒr einen Auslösebefehl das bewegbare Möbelteil einen SchlieĂspalt aufweisen muss, um fĂŒr die Auslösung eine Bewegung des bewegbaren Möbelteils in Richtung des feststehenden Möbelteils erforderlich ist, wobei sich kurzzeitig der SchlieĂspalt verkleinert. Denn insbesondere hierfĂŒr muss eine ĂŒber die Lebensdauer sichere Auslösung durch einen entsprechenden Wert des SchlieĂspalts gewĂ€hrleistet sein. HĂ€ufig ist daher nur eine VergröĂerung eines voreingestellten SchlieĂspaltes möglich.According to the invention, it is also possible to easily for adaptation to adjacent installations or as tolerance compensation or for higher, more unstable front structures if necessary, a default setting closing gap or front gap, when the closing gap is formed on a front furniture part, e.g. in drawers, adjusted in parallel. For drawers, for example, a default 2 to 4 millimeters preset closing gap can still be reduced, but preferably without falling below a minimum gap width, or in particular be increased. An at least necessary closing gap size is to be considered in particular if, for example, a touch-latch function is provided in the movable furniture part or if for a triggering command the movable furniture part must have a closing gap in order to trigger a movement of the movable furniture part in the direction of the fixed Furniture part is required, which briefly reduces the closing gap. For in particular for this purpose, a reliable over the life safe release must be ensured by a corresponding value of the closing gap. Frequently, therefore, only an enlargement of a preset closing gap is possible.
Vorteilhafterweise wird im aktivierten Einstellmodus eine Einstellung des SchlieĂspaltes durch eine vorzugsweise von einer Bedienperson bestimmte Abfolge von Ăffnungs- und/oder SchlieĂbewegungen des bewegbaren Möbelteils vorgenommen. Auf diese Weise kann insbesondere auch durch Nicht-Fachpersonal die SchlieĂspalteinstellung vorgenommen werden. Dabei wird insbesondere eine Abfolge von Ăffnungs- bzw. SchlieĂbewegungen des bewegbaren Möbelteils durchgefĂŒhrt, wobei darunter auch eine Auslösung der Ăffnungs- bzw. SchlieĂbewegung zu verstehen ist bzw. die eigentliche Bewegung des betrachteten Möbelteils nicht zwingend ablaufen muss. Falls eine Ăffnungs- bzw. SchlieĂbewegung stattfindet, kann diese durch die Antriebseinheit fĂŒr das bewegbare Möbelteil zumindest unterstĂŒtzt werden, was die Bedienerfreundlichkeit erhöht, insbesondere wenn relativ schwer beladene Möbelteile bewegt werden.Advantageously, in the activated setting mode, an adjustment of the closing gap by a preferably determined by an operator sequence of opening and / or closing movements of the movable furniture part is made. In this way, in particular by non-specialist staff the SchlieĂspalteinstellung be made. In particular, a sequence of opening or closing movements of the movable furniture part is carried out, including a triggering of the opening or closing movement is to be understood or the actual Movement of the considered furniture part does not necessarily have to expire. If an opening or closing movement takes place, this can at least be supported by the drive unit for the movable furniture part, which increases the user-friendliness, in particular when relatively heavily loaded furniture parts are moved.
Unter dem Begriff der Kontrolleinheit kann im Sinne der Erfindung z.B. eine Regel- bzw. Steuereinheit verstanden werden, insbesondere eine Rechen- bzw. Computereinheit, die insbesondere ein Bauelement fĂŒr die Bewegungskontrolle einer Mehrzahl von bewegbaren Möbelteilen umfasst und ggf. fĂŒr alle betreffenden bewegbaren Möbelteile zustĂ€ndig ist bzw. diese jeweils kontrolliert. Alternativ oder zusĂ€tzlich kann die Kontrolleinheit mehrere miteinander kommunizierende Teileinheiten aufweisen, die fĂŒr die Bewegungskontrolle von mehreren bewegbaren Möbelteilen verantwortlich sind, wobei eine Teileinheit zumindest eines der bewegbaren Möbelteile kontrolliert.The term control unit may, for the purposes of the invention, be understood to mean e.g. a control or control unit are understood, in particular a computing or computer unit, which in particular comprises a component for the movement control of a plurality of movable furniture parts and possibly is responsible for all relevant movable furniture parts or controls these respectively. Alternatively or additionally, the control unit may have a plurality of sub-units communicating with each other, which are responsible for the movement control of a plurality of movable furniture parts, wherein a sub-unit controls at least one of the movable furniture parts.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, dass fĂŒr das Arbeiten im Einstellmodus ein Zusatzelement mit der Kontrolleinheit verbunden wird. Damit kann mit einem Zusatzelement ein Einstellmodus sicher eingerichtet bzw. wieder verlassen werden und andererseits kann eine versehentliche oder ungewollte VerĂ€nderung des SchlieĂspalts mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit vermieden werden, da nur mit Zusatzelement ein Arbeiten im Einstellmodus möglich ist.It is particularly advantageous that an additional element is connected to the control unit for working in the setting mode. Thus, with an additional element, a setting mode can be set up or left safe again and on the other hand, an accidental or unwanted change in the closing gap can be avoided with high probability, since working only in the adjustment mode with additional element.
Es ist aber nicht ausgeschlossen, dass das Zusatzelement in der Kontrolleinheit integriert ist, insbesondere kann ein Einstellmodus oder ein Programm bzw. können entsprechende Mittel in der Kontrolleinheit vorhanden sein, die zum Arbeiten im Einstellmodus aktiviert und danach deaktiviert werden können.However, it is not excluded that the additional element is integrated in the control unit, in particular, a setting mode or a program or appropriate means may be present in the control unit, which can be activated to work in setting mode and then deactivated.
Weiter wird vorgeschlagen, dass durch Einwirken auf ein bewegbares Möbelteil in den Einstellmodus gelangt wird. Damit kann besonders unkompliziert der Einstellmodus aktiviert werden. Vorteilhafterweise sind dafĂŒr keine zusĂ€tzlichen bzw. speziellen Einrichtungen notwendig.It is also proposed that by acting on a movable furniture part enters the setting mode. This makes it particularly easy to activate the setting mode. Advantageously, no additional or special facilities are necessary for this.
Bevorzugt wird fĂŒr die Einstellung des SchlieĂspaltes eine von der Antriebseinheit bewirkte und eine von der Bedienperson manuell durchgefĂŒhrte von der Antriebseinheit nicht unterstĂŒtzte Ăffnungs- und/oder SchlieĂbewegung des bewegbaren Möbelteils vorgenommen. Damit kann die SchlieĂspalteinstellung auf unkomplizierte Art und insbesondere ohne Zusatzeinrichtungen realisiert werden. Durch die Kombination von manueller und angetriebener Bewegung kann zudem nahezu ausgeschlossen werden, dass es zu einer versehentlichen Verstellung des SchlieĂspaltes kommt. AuĂerdem muss die Bedienperson dazu nur wenige bzw. gewohnte Handgriffe ausfĂŒhren. Als Erleichterung fĂŒr die Bedienperson können die manuellen bzw. die weiteren Ăffnungs- bzw. SchlieĂbewegungen des bewegbaren Möbelteils von der Antriebseinheit unterstĂŒtzt bzw. allein bewerkstelligt werden. Dies erleichtert insgesamt den Vorgang des SchlieĂspalteinstellens.For the setting of the closing gap, an opening and / or closing movement of the movable furniture part caused by the drive unit and carried out manually by the operator and not supported by the drive unit is preferably carried out. Thus, the SchlieĂspalteinstellung can be realized in a straightforward way and in particular without additional devices. The combination of manual and driven movement can also be almost ruled out that there is an accidental adjustment of the closing gap. In addition, the operator has to perform only a few or familiar operations. As a relief for the operator, the manual or the further opening or closing movements of the movable furniture part can be supported by the drive unit or accomplished alone. This overall facilitates the process of SchlieĂspalteinstellens.
Bei der manuellen Bewegung des bewegbaren Möbelteils bewegt sich dieses insbesondere entsprechend der Bewegungswege bei der angetriebenen Bewegung, z.B. entlang von FĂŒhrungen, entlang derer auch die angetriebene Bewegung stattfindet.In the case of manual movement of the movable furniture part, this moves in particular according to the movement paths in the driven movement, e.g. along guides, along which also the driven movement takes place.
Bevorzugt wird im aktivierten Einstellmodus in SchlieĂposition des bewegbaren Möbelteils, nach einem Eingabebefehl der Bedienperson, das bewegbare Möbelteil aus seiner SchlieĂposition mittels der Antriebseinheit in eine Position gebracht, aus der das bewegbare Möbelteil von der Bedienperson manuell ohne UnterstĂŒtzung durch die Antriebseinheit in eine SchlieĂposition unter Ausbildung des gewĂŒnschten SchlieĂspalts bewegt wird. Auf diese Weise kann der von einer Bedienperson aufzubringende Aufwand auf den Vorgang minimiert werden, der die eigentliche Einstellung des SchlieĂspalts darstellt. Dabei kann es vorteilhaft sein, dass der SchlieĂspalt je nach gewĂŒnschter SpaltgröĂe von der Person einstellbar ist. Zur exakten Einstellung bzw. fĂŒr einen Abgleich des bewegbaren Möbelteils mit angrenzenden Abschnitten kann die Person zur Ermittlung der gewĂŒnschten SchlieĂspalt-Position einfache Hilfsmittel zum Beispiel ein Lineal oder eine Wasserwaage zu Hilfe nehmen.Preferably, in the activated setting mode in the closed position of the movable furniture part, after an input command of the operator, the movable furniture part brought from its closed position by means of the drive unit in a position from which the movable furniture part of the operator manually without support by the drive unit in a closed position under training of desired closing gap is moved. In this way, the effort to be applied by an operator can be minimized to the process, which represents the actual setting of the closing gap. It may be advantageous that the closing gap is adjustable by the person depending on the desired gap size. For exact adjustment or for an adjustment of the movable furniture part with adjacent sections, the person to determine the desired closing gap position simple aids, for example, a ruler or a spirit level to help.
Vorteilhafterweise wird mittels vorhandener Positionserfassungsmittel eine Information ĂŒber eine im Einstellmodus erreichte SchlieĂposition des bewegbaren Möbelteils der Kontrolleinheit zugefĂŒhrt. Vorteilhafterweise können vorhandene Positionserfassungsmittel fĂŒr die Einstellung des SchlieĂspalts genutzt werden. Denn hĂ€ufig sind bereits Positionserfassungsmittel bei Vorrichtungen zum Bewegen des bewegbaren Möbelteils relativ zum feststehenden Möbelteil vorhanden, mit denen ohne zusĂ€tzlichen Aufwand eine exakte Position des bewegbaren Möbelteils mit dem eingerichteten SchlieĂspalt bestimmbar ist und die entsprechende Information weiterverarbeitet bzw. abgespeichert werden kann.Advantageously, information about a closing position of the movable furniture part reached in the setting mode is supplied to the control unit by means of existing position detection means. Advantageously, existing position detection means can be used for adjusting the closing gap. Because often position detecting means are already present in devices for moving the movable furniture part relative to the fixed furniture part with which an exact position of the movable furniture part with the established closing gap can be determined without additional effort and the corresponding information can be further processed or stored.
Weiter ist es von Vorteil, dass zur Einstellung des SchlieĂspalts die Information ĂŒber die im Einstellmodus erreichte SchlieĂposition des bewegbaren Möbelteils in der Kontrolleinheit abgespeichert wird, wenn die Bedienperson, nachdem die SchlieĂposition des bewegbaren Möbelteils erreicht ist, einen Abschlussbefehl erteilt. Damit lĂ€sst sich auch ein mehrfaches Nachstellen eines momentan ausgebildeten SchlieĂspalts im Einstellmodus ermöglichen. Erst wenn ein definitiv gewĂŒnschter SchlieĂspalt erreicht ist, wird die entsprechende Information ĂŒber einen Abschlussbefehl der Kontrolleinheit zur VerfĂŒgung gestellt. Erst dann wird diese Information derart verwertet, dass bei allen nachfolgenden SchlieĂpositionen dieser SchlieĂspalt ausgebildet wird. Eine Fehleinstellung eines SchlieĂspalts bzw. ein allzu kompliziertes Arbeiten im elektronisch unterstĂŒtzten Einstellmodus des SchlieĂspalts kann damit umgangen werden.Further, it is advantageous that, for setting the closing gap, the information about the closing position of the movable furniture part reached in the setting mode is stored in the control unit when the operator issues a finishing command after the closing position of the movable furniture part is reached. This can also allow a multiple adjustment of a currently formed closing gap in setting mode. Only when a definitely desired closing gap is reached, the corresponding information about a completion command of the control unit is provided. Only then will this Used information such that at all subsequent closing positions of this closing gap is formed. A misadjustment of a closing gap or an excessively complicated work in the electronically assisted setting mode of the closing gap can thus be circumvented.
Es ist ĂŒberdies bevorzugt, dass bei einem Möbel der Abschlussbefehl durch Einwirken auf das bewegbare Möbelteil durch DrĂŒcken und/oder Ziehen innerhalb eines vorgebbares Zeitintervalls nach Erreichen der SchlieĂposition erteilt wird. Auf diese Weise kann das Konfigurierverfahren weiter vereinfacht werden. Denn nach Erreichen der gewĂŒnschten SchlieĂposition und der Ausbildung eines entsprechenden SchlieĂspaltes kann durch einen einfachen Handgriff die Verifizierung der aktuellen SchlieĂspaltausbildung erfolgen. Damit kann z.B. ein gewisser Zeitraum zur Beurteilung des momentan gebildeten SchlieĂspalts gewĂ€hrt werden bzw. eine Möglichkeit zu dessen Nachjustierung offen bleiben. Auch muss die Kontrolleinheit nicht ĂŒber eine ausufernd lange Zeit in einem Wartezustand verharren, falls in der vorgebbaren Zeitspanne kein Abschlussbefehl erfolgt ist, womit die KomplexitĂ€t des Einstellmodus begrenzt werden kann.It is also preferred that in the case of a piece of furniture, the closing command is issued by acting on the movable furniture part by pressing and / or pulling within a predeterminable time interval after reaching the closed position. In this way, the configuration method can be further simplified. Because after reaching the desired closed position and the formation of a corresponding closing gap, the verification of the current SchlieĂspaltausbildung can be done by a simple handle. Thus, e.g. a certain period of time to assess the currently formed closing gap are granted or remain open a possibility for its readjustment. Also, the control unit does not have to wait for an excessively long time in a wait state, if in the predetermined period of time no completion command has been made, whereby the complexity of the setting mode can be limited.
Es wird auĂerdem vorgeschlagen, dass bei einem Möbel mit mehreren angetrieben bewegbaren Möbelteilen der Abschlussbefehl fĂŒr das betreffende Möbelteil in der erreichten SchlieĂposition durch Einwirken auf ein anderes bewegbares Möbelteil durch DrĂŒcken und/oder Ziehen erteilt wird. Damit wird eine weitere Möglichkeit bereitgestellt, um den Abschlussbefehl zu erteilen. Beispielsweise kann es fĂŒr die exakte Bestimmung des zu ĂŒbernehmenden SchlieĂspalts vorteilhaft sein, wenn beim Abschlussbefehl das betreffende Möbelteil selbst in der entsprechenden Position verharrt bzw. der SchlieĂspalt damit in diesem Moment nicht verĂ€ndert wird.It is also proposed that in a furniture with several driven movable furniture parts of the final command for the relevant furniture part in the achieved closing position by acting on another movable furniture part by pressing and / or pulling is granted. This provides another way to issue the close command. For example, it may be advantageous for the exact determination of the closing gap to be adopted if the relevant furniture part itself remains in the corresponding position during the closing command or the closing gap is not changed at this moment.
Vorteilhafterweise wird im aktivierten Einstellmodus ein bereits eingerichteter SchlieĂspalt fĂŒr das bewegbares Möbelteil unverĂ€ndert ĂŒbernommen, in dem nach einem Eingabebefehl der Bedienperson das bewegbare Möbelteil aus seiner SchlieĂposition mittels der Antriebseinheit in eine Position gebracht wird, aus der das bewegbare Möbelteil von der Bedienperson durch manuelles DrĂŒcken und/oder Ziehen an dem betreffenden Möbelteil ohne UnterstĂŒtzung durch die Antriebseinheit weiterbewegt wird. Dieses Vorgehen erleichtert die SchlieĂspalt-Einstellung. Zum verwendeten Begriff "SchlieĂspalt-Einstellung" ist der Begriff "Tiefeneinstellung" gleichwertig zu verstehen.Advantageously, in the activated setting mode already established closing gap for the movable furniture part taken over unchanged, in which after an input command of the operator, the movable furniture part is moved from its closed position by means of the drive unit in a position from which the movable furniture part by the operator by manually pressing and / or pulling on the relevant Furniture part is moved without support by the drive unit. This procedure facilitates the closing gap setting. The term "closing gap setting" is to be understood as equivalent to the term "depth setting".
Insbesondere kann es eine Zeitersparnis bringen, wenn von mehreren bewegbaren Möbelteilen nur bei einzelnen oder wenigen ein neuer SchlieĂspalt einzustellen ist und bei den anderen der bereits vorhandene SchlieĂspalt ĂŒbernommen werden soll.In particular, it can bring a saving of time, if of several movable furniture parts only a few or a few new closing gap is set and should be taken over in the other of the existing closing gap.
Eine besonders bevorzugte Variante des erfindungsgemĂ€Ăen Verfahrens zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass im aktivierten Einstellmodus ein eingestellter SchlieĂspalt fĂŒr das bewegbare Möbelteil verĂ€ndert wird, indem durch einen Eingabebefehl der Bedienperson das betreffende bewegbare Möbelteil aus seiner SchlieĂposition mit der Antriebseinheit ein- oder mehrmals hintereinander um eine mit der Antriebseinheit minimal zurĂŒcklegbare Mindeststrecke in Ăffnungs- oder SchlieĂrichtung bewegt wird und der entsprechend erreichte neue SchlieĂspalt in der Kontrolleinheit abgespeichert wird, sobald die Bedienperson einen Abschlussbefehl erteilt. Damit lĂ€sst sich ohne manuelles Eingreifen der SchlieĂspalt um eine minimal mögliche angetrieben zurĂŒcklegbare Strecke verĂ€ndern. Vorteilhafterweise kann dabei der Umstand zunutze gemacht werden, dass die Antriebseinheit das bewegbare Möbelteil in der Regel um definierte bzw. vergleichsweise minimale Strecken in eine oder in die entgegengesetzte Richtung angetrieben bewegen kann. Diese minimale Strecke lĂ€sst sich manuell bzw. von einer Person nahezu nicht reproduzierbar ausfĂŒhren. Zudem kann diese angetriebene schrittweise Mindest-Verstellung in beide Richtungen anwenden. Ist eine Antriebswirkung auf ein bewegbares Möbelteil ĂŒber zum Beispiel zwei AntriebsĂŒbertragungselemente realisiert, z.B. rechts und links an einer relativ breiten Möbelschublade, kann ggf. ĂŒber ein AntriebsĂŒbertragungselement auf einer Seite der Schublade eine VorwĂ€rtsbewegung und mit der anderen AntriebsĂŒbertragungselemente auf der anderen Seite in die entgegengesetzte Richtung jeweils um die minimale bzw. eine lediglich geringe Strecke realisiert werden, wobei damit neben der SchlieĂspaltbestimmung eine Paralleleinstellung der Schublade gegenĂŒber einem feststehenden Möbelteil möglich ist.A particularly preferred variant of the method according to the invention is characterized in that in the activated setting mode a set closing gap for the movable furniture part is changed by the relevant movable furniture part from its closed position with the drive unit one or more times by one with an input command of the operator the drive unit is minimally zurĂŒcklegbare minimum distance in the opening or closing direction is moved and the correspondingly achieved new closing gap in the control unit is stored as soon as the operator issues a completion command. This makes it possible to change the closing gap by a minimum possible driven zurĂŒcklegbare route without manual intervention. Advantageously, the fact can be made use of the fact that the drive unit, the movable furniture part usually by defined or relatively minimal distances in one or in the opposite direction can move driven. This minimum distance can be performed manually or by a person almost irreproducible. In addition, this powered step-by-step minimum adjustment can be used in both directions. If a drive effect is realized on a movable furniture part via, for example, two drive transmission elements, eg right and left on a relatively wide furniture drawer, a forward movement may take place via a drive transmission element on one side of the drawer and with the other drive transmission elements on the other side in the opposite direction each realized by the minimum or a small distance, whereby in addition to the SchlieĂspaltbestimmung a parallel adjustment of the drawer relative to a fixed furniture part is possible.
Die Erfindung betrifft auĂerdem eine Vorrichtung zum Bewegen eines bewegbaren Möbelteils relativ zu einem feststehenden Möbelteil mit einer Antriebseinheit mittels derer ĂŒber eine Kontrolleinheit zur Bewegungskontrolle des bewegbaren Möbelteils dieses relativ zum feststehenden Möbelteil angetrieben bewegbar ist, wobei in einer SchlieĂposition des bewegbaren Möbelteils gegenĂŒber dem feststehenden Möbelteil ein einstellbarer SchlieĂspalt zwischen einer Frontpartie des bewegbaren Möbelteils und dem feststehenden Möbelteil ausgebildet sein kann. Ein wesentlicher Aspekt der Erfindung liegt darin, dass die Kontrolleinheit ausgelegt ist, in einem aktivierten elektronisch unterstĂŒtzten Einstellmodus einen SchlieĂspalt einzustellen. Damit lassen sich die zum erfindungsgemĂ€Ăen Verfahren bereits oben diskutierten Vorteile fĂŒr eine entsprechende Vorrichtung realisieren, mit welcher im Einstellmodus elektronisch unterstĂŒtz der SchlieĂspalt einstellbar ist.The invention also relates to a device for moving a movable furniture part relative to a fixed furniture part with a drive unit by means of which a control unit for controlling movement of the movable furniture part of this movable relative to the fixed furniture part is movable, wherein in a closed position of the movable furniture part relative to the stationary furniture part adjustable closing gap between a front end of the movable furniture part and the fixed furniture part can be formed. An essential aspect of the invention is that the control unit is designed to set a closing gap in an activated electronically assisted setting mode. In this way, the advantages already discussed above for the method according to the invention can be realized for a corresponding device with which the closing gap can be adjusted electronically in the setting mode.
Weiter ist bevorzugt, dass im aktivierten Einstellmodus eine Einstellung des SchlieĂspalts durch eine vorzugsweise von einer Bedienperson bestimmte Abfolge von Ăffnungs- und/oder SchlieĂbewegungen des bewegbaren Möbelteils vorgenommen werden kann.It is further preferred that in the activated setting mode, an adjustment of the closing gap by a preferably of an operator certain sequence of opening and / or closing movements of the movable furniture part can be made.
In einer vorteilhaften AusfĂŒhrungsform des Erfindungsgegenstandes ist die Kontrolleinheit ausgestaltet fĂŒr das Arbeiten im Einstellmodus mit einem Zusatzelement eine Verbindung aufzubauen. Insbesondere um einen sicheren Zugang zum Einstellmodus bzw. ein sicheres Verlassen des Einstellmodus zu gewĂ€hrleisten, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Kontrolleinheit eine Verbindung zu dem Zusatzelement aufbauen kann, wobei das Zusatzelement auch in der Kontrolleinheit integriert sein kann. Die Verbindung kann dauerhaft oder auch nur zum Zwecke des Einstellmodus eingerichtet sein. Als Zusatzelement kann neben einem PC bzw. einem Laptop insbesondere ein von einem Computer verschiedenes Element verwendet werden, zum Beispiel ein so genanntes Dongle. Dies weist insbesondere den Vorteil auf, dass eine Person zum Arbeiten mit dem Dongle ĂŒber keine speziellen Kenntnisse verfĂŒgen muss, welche hingegen beim Arbeiten mit einem Laptop nötig sind.In an advantageous embodiment of the subject invention, the control unit is configured for working in setting mode with an additional element to establish a connection. In particular, in order to ensure safe access to the setting mode or a safe exit from the setting mode, it is advantageous if the control unit can establish a connection to the additional element, wherein the additional element can also be integrated in the control unit. The connection can be established permanently or else only for the purpose of the setting mode. As an additional element in addition to a PC or a laptop, in particular a different element from a computer can be used, for example a so-called dongle. This has the particular advantage that a person to work with the dongle has no special knowledge, which, however, when working with a laptop are needed.
Besonders bevorzugt ist es, dass die Kontrolleinheit ausgebildet ist, im aktivierten Einstellmodus mit einem hinterlegten Programm und/oder einer Logik zu arbeiten, um den SchlieĂspalt einzustellen. Damit lĂ€sst sich ein eigens fĂŒr den Einstellmodus zur Einstellung des SchlieĂspalts erstelltes Programm einrichten, was den Einstellmodus vereinfacht bzw. womit dieser ggf. fĂŒr unterschiedliche Anwendungen speziell abstimmbar ist, zum Beispiel abstimmbar fĂŒr Schubsysteme oder Schwenksysteme.It is particularly preferred that the control unit is designed to work in the activated setting mode with a stored program and / or logic to set the closing gap. This makes it possible to set up a program created especially for the setting mode for setting the closing gap, which simplifies the setting mode or, if appropriate, which can be specially tuned for different applications, for example tunable for sliding systems or swivel systems.
Auch können in der Antriebseinheit definierte bzw. unterschiedliche Einstellmodi hinterlegt sein, auf die wahlweise zugegriffen werden kann bzw. die fĂŒr den Einstellmodus aktivierbar bzw. deaktivierbar sind. So lassen sich gegebenenfalls unterschiedliche Einstellmodi nutzen.Also defined or different setting modes can be stored in the drive unit, which can be selectively accessed or which can be activated or deactivated for the setting mode. Let it be possibly use different setting modes.
Bevorzugt ist die Kontrolleinheit so ausgestaltet, ĂŒber insbesondere im Zusatzelement bereitgestellte Ausgabemittel der Bedienperson Information in Bezug auf einen Einstellvorgang beim Einstellen des SchlieĂspalts zukommen zu lassen. Dies ermöglicht ein effektives und schnelles Arbeiten im Einstellmodus. Beispielsweise kann ein aktivierter bzw. deaktivierter Konfiguriermodus durch ein entsprechendes akustisches Signal angezeigt werden.Preferably, the control unit is configured to provide information about a setting process when setting the closing gap, in particular via the output means provided in the additional element. This enables effective and fast working in the setting mode. For example, an activated or deactivated configuration mode can be indicated by a corresponding acoustic signal.
Ăber das Zusatzelement kann z.B. ein aktivierter Einstellmodus ĂŒber ein erstes akustisches Signal angezeigt werden. Wird nun die Konfigurierung des Frontspalts vorgenommen, also beispielsweise ein bewegbares Möbelteil wird aus einer SchlieĂstellung angetrieben geöffnet, Ă€ndert sich das akustische Signal, so dass eine Person weiĂ, dass nun im Einstellmodus gearbeitet wird. Nach Abschluss der Einstellung des SchlieĂspalts mit ggf. einer Reihe durchgefĂŒhrter Einzelschritte, also zum Beispiel nach einem Abschlussbefehl bzw. einem "Enter"-Befehl kann dies wiederum durch einen weiteren Wechsel des akustischen Signals angezeigt werden. Das Signal kann zum Beispiel einen in kurzen AbstĂ€nden unterbrochenen Piepston und einen in langen AbstĂ€nden unterbrochenen Piepston umfassen.Via the additional element, e.g. an activated setting mode is displayed via a first acoustic signal. Now, if the configuration of the front gap is made, so for example, a movable furniture part is opened driven from a closed position, the acoustic signal changes, so that a person knows that is now working in setting mode. After completion of the adjustment of the closing gap with possibly a series of individual steps performed, so for example after a termination command or an "Enter" command, this can be displayed in turn by a further change of the acoustic signal. The signal may include, for example, a beeping tone interrupted at frequent intervals and a beeping tone interrupted at long intervals.
Beispielsweise kann durch den in langen AbstÀnden unterbrochenen Piepston ein aktivierter bzw. deaktivierter Konfiguriermodus angezeigt bzw. das Arbeiten im Konfiguriermodus durch die in kurzen AbstÀnden unterbrochenen Piepston angezeigt werden.For example, an activated or deactivated configuration mode can be displayed or the working in the configuration mode can be indicated by the beep tone interrupted at short intervals as a result of the interrupted beep sound interrupted at long intervals.
Prinzipiell können auch optische, haptische und/oder akustische Signale zur Informationsausgabe an eine Bedienperson bereitgestellt werden.In principle, optical, haptic and / or acoustic signals for the information output to an operator can also be provided.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die Kontrolleinheit ausgebildet, im aktivierten Einstellmodus nach einem Eingabebefehl der Bedienperson das betreffende bewegbare Möbelteil aus seiner SchlieĂposition mit der Antriebseinheit bis in eine Parkposition zu bewegen und Informationen ĂŒber eine anschlieĂend von der Bedienperson manuell ohne UnterstĂŒtzung durch die Antriebseinheit ausgefĂŒhrte Bewegung des bewegbaren Möbelteils aus der Parkposition bis in eine SchlieĂposition unter Ausbildung des gewĂŒnschten SchlieĂspalts zu verarbeiten. Damit lĂ€sst sich auf unkomplizierte Weise mit wenigen Handgriffen von einer Person eine gewĂŒnschte SchlieĂspalteinstellung vornehmen, wobei die neue SchlieĂposition von der Person selbst eingestellt und so direkt beurteilt und ggf. nachgestellt werden kann.Advantageously, the control unit is designed to move in the activated setting mode after an input command of the operator, the relevant movable furniture part from its closed position with the drive unit to a parking position and information on a subsequently performed manually by the operator without support by the drive unit movement of the movable furniture part the parking position to process into a closed position to form the desired closing gap. This can be done in a simple manner with a few simple steps by a person a desired SchlieĂspalteinstellung, the new closed position can be set by the person himself and thus assessed directly and possibly adjusted.
AuĂerdem ist es bevorzugt, dass die Kontrolleinheit ausgelegt ist, fĂŒr die Einstellung des SchlieĂspalts eine Information ĂŒber die im Einstellmodus erreichte SchlieĂposition des bewegbaren Möbelteils in der Kontrolleinheit abzuspeichern, wenn die Bedienperson, nachdem die SchlieĂposition erreicht ist, einen Abschlussbefehl erteilt.In addition, it is preferred that the control unit is designed to store information about the closing position of the movable furniture part reached in the setting mode in the control unit for the adjustment of the closing gap when the operator issues a closing command after the closing position has been reached.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften AusfĂŒhrungsform des Erfindungsgegenstands ist die Kontrolleinheit derart gestaltet, die Information ĂŒber die im Einstellmodus erreichte SchlieĂposition des bewegbaren Möbelteils abzuspeichern, wenn der Abschlussbefehl durch Einwirken auf das bewegbare Möbelteil durch DrĂŒcken und/oder Ziehen innerhalb eines vorgebbaren Zeitintervalls nach Erreichen der SchlieĂposition erteilt wird. Damit lassen sich die bereits oben diskutierten Vorteile fĂŒr die erfindungsgemĂ€Ăe Vorrichtung realisieren.In a further advantageous embodiment of the subject invention, the control unit is designed to store the information about the closing position of the movable furniture part reached in the setting mode when the closing command granted by acting on the movable furniture part by pressing and / or pulling within a predetermined time interval after reaching the closed position becomes. This makes it possible to realize the advantages already discussed above for the device according to the invention.
Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, dass die Kontrolleinheit ausgebildet ist, im aktivierten Einstellmodus fĂŒr mehrere bewegbare Möbelteile nacheinander die Einstellung des SchlieĂspalts vorzunehmen. Damit kann auch fĂŒr eine Mehrzahl von bewegbaren Möbelteilen zeiteffektiv vorgegangen werden bzw. können die oben genannten Vorteile dabei erzielt werden.Furthermore, it is preferred that the control unit is formed, in the activated setting mode for a plurality of movable furniture parts successively the setting of Make closing gap. This can be done time-effective for a plurality of movable furniture parts or the above advantages can be achieved.
Weiter ist es vorteilhaft, dass die Kontrolleinheit derart ausgelegt ist, im aktivierten Einstellmodus einen eingestellten SchlieĂspalt fĂŒr das bewegbare Möbelteil unverĂ€ndert zu ĂŒbernehmen, wenn nach einer mit der Antriebseinheit erfolgten Bewegung des betreffenden bewegbaren Möbelteils in eine Parkposition das bewegbare Möbelteil durch Einwirken auf das betreffende Möbelteil durch manuelles Ziehen und/oder DrĂŒcken ohne UnterstĂŒtzung durch die Antriebseinheit weiterbewegt wird. Damit lĂ€sst sich auch ein bereits eingestellter SchlieĂspalt, wenn dieser nicht verĂ€ndert werden soll, unkompliziert ĂŒbernehmen. GrundsĂ€tzlich kann die Ăbernahme eines eingestellten SchlieĂspalts so erfolgen, dass nach der angetriebenen Bewegung eine Person derart auf das betreffende Möbelteil eingewirkt, dass eine Bewegung erfolgt, die zur davor angetriebenen Bewegungsrichtung entgegengesetzt ist und/oder deren Amplitude deutlich gröĂer ist, als fĂŒr eine SchlieĂspalteinstellung.Further, it is advantageous that the control unit is designed so as to take over a set closing gap for the movable furniture part unchanged in the activated setting mode, if after a done with the drive unit movement of the relevant movable furniture part in a parking position, the movable furniture part by acting on the relevant furniture part is moved by manual pulling and / or pressing without support by the drive unit. This also allows an already set closing gap, if this is not to be changed, take over uncomplicated. In principle, the assumption of a set closing gap can be made so that after the driven movement, a person acts on the relevant furniture part, that a movement takes place, which is opposite to the previously driven movement direction and / or whose amplitude is significantly greater than for a SchlieĂspalteinstellung.
SchlieĂlich wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Kontrolleinheit ausgebildet ist, im aktivierten Einstellmodus einen eingestellten SchlieĂspalt fĂŒr das bewegbare Möbelteil zu verĂ€ndern und die Kontrolleinheit ausgelegt ist, nach einem Eingabebefehl der Bedienperson das betreffende bewegbare Möbelteil mit der Antriebseinheit ein- oder mehrmals hintereinander um eine mit der Antriebseinheit minimal zurĂŒcklegbare Mindeststrecke in Ăffnungs- oder SchlieĂrichtung zu bewegen und den entsprechend erreichten neuen SchlieĂspalt in der Kontrolleinheit abzuspeichern, sobald die Bedienperson einen Abschlussbefehl erteilt.Finally, it is proposed that the control unit is designed to change in the activated setting mode a set closing gap for the movable furniture part and the control unit is designed, after an input command of the operator, the respective movable furniture part with the drive unit one or more times in succession to one with the drive unit to move minimum distance that can be traveled in the opening or closing direction and to save the correspondingly achieved new closing gap in the control unit as soon as the operator issues a closing command.
Die Erfindung betrifft auĂerdem ein Möbel mit einer der oben genannten Vorrichtungen. Damit lassen sich die dabei mit der Vorrichtung bzw. dem entsprechenden Verfahren erzielten Vorteile auch fĂŒr das entsprechende Möbel erzielen.The invention also relates to a piece of furniture with one of the above said devices. Thus, the advantages achieved with the device or the corresponding method can also be achieved for the corresponding furniture.

Im Möbelkorpus 2 sind ĂŒber nicht dargestellte AuszugsfĂŒhrungen die MöbelschĂŒbe 3 an den SeitenwĂ€nden 2a, 2b bzw. den InnenwĂ€nden 2e, 2f verfahrbar aufgenommen, zum Beispiel ĂŒber bekannte VollauszĂŒge. Die MöbelschĂŒbe 3 können gemÀà dem Doppelpfeil P relativ zum Möbelkorpus 2 eingeschoben bzw. ausgefahren werden. Die Schubladen 4 bis 9 und 12 bis 14 befinden sich jeweils in SchlieĂposition, wohingegen die Innenschublade 10 in etwa halb bzw. die AuĂenschublade 11 ganz geöffnet gegenĂŒber dem Möbelkorpus 2 ist.In the furniture body 2 are not shown drawer guides the

Die Schubladen 4 bis 6 sind an ihren Schubladenfronten jeweils mit einem Griffelement 15 bis 17 bzw. die Schublade 7 mit einem nicht erkennbaren weiteren Griffelement versehen, um die betreffende Schublade manuell zu greifen und insbesondere an der Schublade zu ziehen. Daher ist es grundsĂ€tzlich möglich, dass die Schubladen 4 bis 7 nicht mit der Antriebseinheit angetrieben sondern lediglich manuell betĂ€tigt bewegbar sind. Es ist auch denkbar, dass die Schubladen 4 bis 7 angetrieben und manuell bewegbar sind, um z.B. bei deren manuell von einer Person ausgefĂŒhrten Bewegung diese mit der Antriebseinheit zu unterstĂŒtzen, insbesondere beim Ăffnen.The drawers 4 to 6 are provided on their drawer fronts each with a
Die anderen Schubladen sind insbesondere mit der Antriebseinheit bewegbar, wobei es denkbar ist, dass eine angetrieben bewegbare Schublade mit oder ohne UnterstĂŒtzung durch die Antriebseinheit manuell bewegt werden kann. Beispielsweise können die Schubladen 4 bis 7 an den Griffelementen manuell aufgezogen werden, wobei die Antriebseinheit insbesondere als UnterstĂŒtzung fĂŒr den Benutzer eine Antriebswirkung aufbringt. Die Antriebseinheit kann vielfĂ€ltig ausgestaltet sein und mit elektrischen Mitteln z.B. mit Hilfe eines Elektromotors oder nicht elektrisch mit mechanischen Mitteln arbeiten bzw. mit einer Kombination aus diesen Mitteln funktionieren. Die Ăffnungs- und/oder SchlieĂbewegung kann ganz oder teilweise angetrieben erfolgen, z.B. wenn AusstoĂmittel zum AusstoĂen des bewegbaren Möbelteils aus einer SchlieĂstellung in eine zumindest teilweise geöffnete Stellung vorgesehen sind.The other drawers are movable in particular with the drive unit, and it is conceivable that a driven movable drawer can be moved manually with or without assistance from the drive unit. For example, the drawers 4 to 7 can be manually mounted on the handle elements, wherein the drive unit in particular as a support for the user applies a drive effect. The drive unit can be designed in many ways and can be connected to electrical means, e.g. work with the help of an electric motor or not electrically by mechanical means or work with a combination of these means. The opening and / or closing movement can be wholly or partially driven, e.g. when ejection means are provided for ejecting the movable furniture part from a closed position to an at least partially open position.
Die Schubladen 8 bis 14 sind an ihren Frontpartien 8a bis 14a ohne Kontur bzw. ohne ein Griffelement oder eine sonstige Hilfe zum Ziehen an dem betreffenden Möbelteil ausgestattet. Die Schubladen 4 bis 14 können mit oder ohne z.B. insbesondere AusstoĂer- bzw. Touch-Latch-FunktionalitĂ€t versehen sein. Die Schubladen 8 bis 14 lassen sich zum Beispiel durch Antippen auf die Frontseite einer Schublade auslösen bzw. öffnen oder schlieĂen.The
FĂŒr die gezeigten Schubladen insbesondere wenn eine Touch-Latch-FunktionalitĂ€t vorhanden ist, wird im gegenĂŒber dem Möbelkorpus 2 geschlossenen Zustand ein SchlieĂspalt zwischen einer Innenseite der Schubladenfront und Abschnitten des Möbelkorpus 2 ausgebildet. Der SchlieĂ- oder Frontspalt wird in der Regel am Aufstellungsort eingestellt, z.B. um eventuell schief stehende Fronten parallel zu stellen bzw. um einen Toleranzausgleich zu erreichen.For the drawers shown, in particular if a touch-latch functionality is present, a closing gap between an inside of the drawer front and sections of the furniture body 2 is formed in the closed state relative to the furniture body 2. The closing or front gap is usually set at the installation site, eg at to place any oblique fronts parallel or to achieve a tolerance compensation.
Um einen SchlieĂspalt bzw. Frontspalt einer Schublade einzustellen, kann wie nachfolgend erlĂ€utert vorgegangen werden. Dazu wird bevorzugt mit einem Zusatzelement gearbeitet, das beispielsweise fĂŒr die Konfigurierung am Möbel 1 bzw. an der nicht dargestellten Vorrichtung zur Bewegungsbeeinflussung angesteckt und mit der Kontrolleinheit verbunden wird. Die SchlieĂspalt-Einstellung erfolgt in einem aktivierten Einstell- bzw. Konfiguriermodus. Nach der Aktivierung, die z.B. ĂŒber einen Schalter am Zusatzelement erfolgen kann, kann der aktivierte Konfiguriermodus z.B. durch Piepstöne angezeigt werden, die z.B. in vergleichsweise langen AbstĂ€nden von z.B. zwei Sekunden unterbrochen piepsen. Wenn zur Aktivierung des Konfiguriermodus eine Schublade vom Möbelkorpus ausgehĂ€ngt werden musste, ist diese fĂŒr die weitere Konfigurierung wieder einzuhĂ€ngen und in die SchlieĂposition zu bringen. Eine Schublade in SchlieĂposition, die z.B. ohne Griffelement bzw. mit einer Touch-Latch-FunktionalitĂ€t versehen ist und deren SchlieĂspalt gegenĂŒber einer gegebenen bzw. Standardeinstellung verĂ€ndert bzw. verkleinert oder vergröĂert werden muss, wird dann angetippt bzw. etwas eingedrĂŒckt in Richtung Möbelkorpus. Dadurch verkleinert sich der bestehende SchlieĂspalt kurzzeitig bzw. wird ein Auslösebefehl zum Ăffnen der betreffenden Schublade erteilt. Die so ausgelöste Schublade fĂ€hrt angetrieben um einen geringen vorgebbaren Weg beispielsweise von ca. 5 cm nach vorne. Ein mit der Kontrolleinheit in Verbindung stehendes Zusatzelement piepst nun in einem anderen Rhythmus z.B. in kurzen AbstĂ€nden von z.B. 0,5 Sekunden unterbrochen. Im nĂ€chsten Schritt wird die etwas offene Lade ohne UnterstĂŒtzung mit der Antriebseinheit z.B. bei stromlos geschaltetem Motor manuell eingeschoben bis in eine SchlieĂposition unter Ausbildung des gewĂŒnschten SchlieĂspalts. Dies kann zur Erleichterung der Bestimmung der genauen Position z.B. mit einem Lineal oder dergleichen erfolgen, um beispielsweise einen fluchtenden Abgleich mit einem als BezugsflĂ€che dienenden Abschnitt einer benachbarten Schublade erreicht ist. Damit kann die betreffende Schublade z.B. an eine benachbarte geschlossene Schublade angeglichen werden, die im SchlieĂzustand etwas weiter heraussteht als die betreffende Schublade im SchlieĂzustand. Wenn die benachbarte Schublade weniger weit heraussteht als die betreffende Schublade, ergibt sich eine Verkleinerung des bestehenden SchlieĂspalts. Nun muss die neu gefundene SchlieĂposition bzw. damit der dazugehörige SchlieĂspalt ĂŒbernommen bzw. abgespeichert werden. Dies kann insbesondere durch Einwirken auf die betroffene Schublade selbst geschehen, z.B. indem innerhalb eines Zeitfensters diese von auĂen betĂ€tigt bzw. auf diese eingewirkt wird beispielsweise durch DrĂŒcken auf die Front, was einem "Enter"-Befehl entspricht. Die abgeschlossene Einstellung fĂŒr die betreffende Schublade wird nun durch einen Piepston insbesondere durch das Zusatzelement akustisch angezeigt, zum Beispiel indem es wieder langsam piepst bzw. in langen AbstĂ€nden von z.B. zwei Sekunden unterbrochen.To set a closing gap or front gap of a drawer, it is possible to proceed as explained below. For this purpose, it is preferable to work with an additional element which, for example, is plugged into the
Der "Enter"-Befehl kann innerhalb eines Zeitfensters von z.B. 10 Sekunden, gerechnet ab dem Zeitpunkt der aktuell erreichten SchlieĂspalt-Position bzw. der neu gefundenen SchlieĂposition, derart erfolgen, dass die soeben eingestellte Front aus der aktuellen Position bis zum inneren Anschlag bzw. mindestens von der Touch-Latch-Werkseinstellung bis zum inneren Anschlag gedrĂŒckt wird. Erfolgt hingegen innerhalb des Zeitfensters kein "Enter"-Befehl, geht das Zusatzelement automatisch wieder auf den langsamen Piepston.The "Enter" command can be executed within a time window of e.g. 10 seconds, calculated from the time of the currently achieved closing gap position or the newly found closing position, carried out such that the just set front from the current position to the inner stop or at least from the touch-latch factory setting to the inner stop is pressed. If, on the other hand, no "Enter" command is entered within the time window, the additional element automatically returns to the slow beep.
Nun können weitere SchlieĂ- bzw. Frontspalte auf entsprechende Weise bzw. durch Wiederholen der oben genannten Schritte eingerichtet werden.Now further closing or front gaps can be set up in a corresponding manner or by repeating the above-mentioned steps.
Wird nach dem Auslösebefehl zum Ăffnen einer betreffenden Schublade die so ausgelöste Schublade angetrieben um den geringen vorgebbaren Weg ausgefahren aber anstelle des wie oben beschriebenen DrĂŒckens auf eine Schubladenfront daran gezogen, bedeutet dies, dass die vorhandene SchlieĂspalteinstellung fĂŒr diese Schublade nicht neu konfiguriert wird und unverĂ€ndert wie zuletzt programmiert bleibt. Nun kann die Schublade stromlos bis zum Ă€uĂeren Endanschlag bzw. in die Offenposition gezogen werden und dann durch DrĂŒcken gegen die Front fĂ€hrt die Schublade angetrieben in die SchlieĂstellung mit dem zuletzt programmierten SchlieĂspalt.If, after the triggering command for opening a respective drawer, the drawer thus triggered is driven out by the small presettable path but pulled against a drawer front as described above, this means that the existing closing gap setting for this drawer is not reconfigured and unchanged last programmed. Now, the drawer can be pulled without power to the outer end stop or in the open position and then pushes against the front moves the drawer driven in the closed position with the last programmed closing gap.
Diese Vorgehensweise entspricht einem Art "Escape"-Befehl und macht es möglich, eine vor der Zusatzeinheit sitzende Schublade gegebenenfalls auszuhĂ€ngen und die Zusatzeinheit umzuschalten, um den Konfiguriermodus zu verlassen. Auch eine ĂberprĂŒfung des zuletzt eingestellten SchlieĂspalts ist so möglich.This procedure corresponds to a kind of "escape" command and makes it possible, if necessary, to unhook a drawer sitting in front of the additional unit and to switch the auxiliary unit in order to exit the configuration mode. Also, a check of the last set closing gap is possible.
Auch SchlieĂspalte von Innenschubladen können auf diese Weise eingestellt werden. Durch Ziehen an der AuĂenschublade kann der "Escape"-Befehl realisiert werden, wobei nach diesem "Escape"-Befehl die InnenschĂŒbe nacheinander einstellbar sind.Also closing gaps of inner drawers can be adjusted in this way. By pulling on the outer drawer, the "Escape" command can be realized, whereby after this "Escape" command, the inner drains are successively adjustable.
Mit der Zusatzeinheit kann, beispielsweise nach Abschluss eines Konfiguriermodus fĂŒr eine Grundeinstellung bzw. im KĂŒchenbereich nach einer KĂŒchenkonfigurierung, eine Frontspalteinstellung derart erfolgen, dass mit einem Schalter bzw. Bedienelement an der Zusatzeinheit in einen weiteren Konfiguriermodus z.B. "Frontspalteinstellung" geschaltet wird. Auf das bewegbare Möbelteil, das eingestellt werden soll, wird anschlieĂend eingewirkt zum Beispiel durch Antippen. Dadurch bewegt sich das bewegbare Möbelteil aus einer vollstĂ€ndig geschlossenen Stellung Impuls fĂŒr Impuls in Ăffnungsrichtung. Das bewegbare Möbelteil kann aus einer SchlieĂposition starten ggf. ohne dass ein Frontspalt vorhanden ist bzw. aus einer Stellung an einem inneren Anschlag und bewegt sich um wenigstens einen Antriebsimpuls bzw. um eine angetrieben minimal zurĂŒcklegbare Strecke in Ăffnungsrichtung. Bei Erreichen der gewĂŒnschten Position wird die erreichte Frontspalteinstellung durch nochmaliges Antippen des bewegbaren Möbelteils bestĂ€tigt bzw. die Frontspaltkonfigurierung abgeschlossen.With the additional unit, for example after completion of a configuration mode for a basic setting or in the kitchen area after a kitchen configuration, a front column setting done such that is switched with a switch or control element on the auxiliary unit in another configuration mode eg "front column setting". On the movable furniture part to be adjusted, is then acted, for example, by tapping. As a result, the movable furniture part moves out a fully closed position pulse by pulse in the opening direction. The movable furniture part can start from a closed position, if necessary, without a front gap being present or from a position at an inner stop, and moves by at least one drive pulse or by a distance driven in the opening direction. When reaching the desired position, the achieved front gap setting is confirmed by repeatedly tapping the movable furniture part or completed the front gap configuration.
FĂŒr die VergröĂerung des SchlieĂspalts einer Schublade gegenĂŒber einer Standard-Einstellung sieht eine etwas weniger elegante Lösung vor, dass nach der Aktivierung des Konfiguriermodus die Lade beispielsweise durch Antippen angetrieben in eine Position auf einen inneren Endanschlag und von dort um einen Impuls weiter heraus gefahren wird, als bei der letzten SchlieĂspalt-Einstellung vorgegeben wurde. Ist der neu erreichte um einen Impuls bzw. dementsprechende Strecke vergröĂerte SchlieĂspalt ausreichend groĂ, kann auf eine beliebige andere Schublade eingewirkt bzw. von auĂen durch DrĂŒcken bedient werden, womit der neue SchlieĂspalt ĂŒbernommen bzw. abgespeichert wird. Ist der SchlieĂspalt noch nicht ausreichend, wird die betreffende Schublade noch mal angetippt und diese wird um einen weiteren Impuls angetrieben nach vorne bzw. in Ăffnungsrichtung gefahren. So kann bis zum Erreichen des gewĂŒnschten SchlieĂspalts verfahren werden. Der Konfiguriermodus wird bei erreichtem gewĂŒnschten SchlieĂspalt durch beispielsweise Ablauf einer Zeitvorgabe von selbst oder die BetĂ€tigung des Schalters an der Zusatzeinheit oder eines anderen Bedienelements beendet.To increase the closing gap of a drawer relative to a standard setting, a slightly less elegant solution provides that, after activation of the configuration mode, the drawer is driven, for example by tapping, into a position on an inner end stop and from there one pulse further out, was specified as the last closing gap setting. If the newly achieved by an impulse or corresponding distance enlarged closing gap sufficiently large, can be acted on any other drawer or operated from the outside by pressing, whereby the new closing gap is taken or stored. If the closing gap is not yet sufficient, the relevant drawer is tapped again and this is driven by a further pulse driven forward or in the opening direction. So can be moved until reaching the desired closing gap. The configuration mode is terminated when the desired closing gap has been reached by, for example, expiration of a self-timing or actuation of the switch on the auxiliary unit or another operating element.
Als Zusatzeinheit sind unterschiedliche Ausgestaltungen denkbar. Die Zusatzeinheit kann dauerhaft in der Vorrichtung zur Bewegungsbeeinflussung integriert sein oder auch nur zeitweise mit dieser in Verbindung stehen. Die Zusatzeinheit kann beispielsweise mit einem einfachen Handgriff an der Vorrichtung angebracht und wieder entfernt werden, z.B. durch Aufstecken bzw. Abziehen. Die Zusatzeinheit kann ein separates Bauteil umfassen, bspw. einen Klein- oder GroĂrechner, ein Laptop, ein PDA, eine Netzwerkstruktur, ein Chipelement oder Ă€hnliches oder integriert in der Vorrichtung bzw. der Kontrolleinheit vorhanden sein. Am Zusatzelement können Eingabe- und/oder Ausgabemittel vorhanden sein, z.B. ein Tastenfeld oder zumindest ein Schalter.As an additional unit, different embodiments are conceivable. The auxiliary unit can be permanently integrated in the device for influencing the movement or even temporarily connected to it. The optional unit can for example be attached to the device with a simple handle and removed again, for example by plugging or unplugging. The auxiliary unit may comprise a separate component, for example a small or mainframe computer, a laptop, a PDA, a network structure, a chip element or the like, or be integrated in the device or the control unit. At the additional element input and / or output means may be present, for example a keypad or at least one switch.
Die Zusatzeinheit kann auch als elektronische Schalter bzw. als so genanntes Dongle ausgefĂŒhrt sein, beispielsweise in der Art eines elektronischen SchlĂŒssels. Das Dongle kann z.B. einem Busmaster mitteilen, dass die Konfiguration durchgefĂŒhrt wird. FĂŒr jede Möbeleinheit bzw. fĂŒr eine ausgelieferte Gruppe von Möbel z.B. fĂŒr eine KĂŒche mit entsprechenden Möbel, kann ein Zusatzelement bzw. Dongle mit ausgeliefert werden, um insbesondere die allgemeine und insbesondere auch die SchlieĂspalt-Konfiguration zu ermöglichen. Das Dongle kann beispielsweise an einem freien Abgang einer horizontalen Verkabelung eingesteckt werden. Damit lĂ€sst sich die Konfiguration auch fĂŒr Laien problemlos durchfĂŒhren.The additional unit can also be designed as an electronic switch or as a so-called dongle, for example in the form of an electronic key. The dongle may e.g. tell a bus master that the configuration is in progress. For each furniture unit or for a delivered group of furniture e.g. for a kitchen with appropriate furniture, an additional element or dongle can be delivered with, in particular to allow the general and in particular the closing gap configuration. The dongle can for example be plugged in at a free outlet of a horizontal wiring. This makes the configuration easy for laymen to perform.
Zur Vorbereitung der Konfiguration kann das Dongle insbesondere eine Schalterstellung "Konfiguration" aufweisen, die von einer Person angewÀhlt werden kann. Hierzu muss das Dongle lediglich auf einen Steckplatz z.B. eines Schubladensystems aufgesteckt werden. Nach Abwarten bis ein kurzer Freigabeton ertönt, ist die Bereitschaft des Dongles erreicht. Dann lÀuft die Systemerkennung ab, welche beispielsweise bis ca. 1 Minute dauern kann. Der Konfigurationsvorgang im Einstellmodus wird erst nach einem stetig sich wiederholenden Signalton gestartet.To prepare the configuration, the dongle can in particular have a switch position "configuration" that can be selected by a person. For this purpose, the dongle only needs to be plugged into a slot, e.g. a drawer system are plugged. After waiting until a short release tone sounds, the readiness of the dongle is reached. Then the system detection expires, which can take up to approx. 1 minute, for example. The configuration process in the setting mode is only started after a continuously repeated signal tone.
Eine RĂŒckstellung auf Grundeinstellungen bzw. eine "Reset"-Funktion kann durch ZurĂŒcksetzen des Dongles auf Notbetrieb erfolgen. Alternativ kann ein Schalter am Dongle auf Notbetrieb gestellt werden. Hierzu wird das Dongle auf einen freien Abgang am Möbel bzw. der Vorrichtung zur Bewegungsbeeinflussung gesteckt und ein entsprechendes Signal zur BestĂ€tigung ertönt. Nun wartet man, bis ein stetig wiederholendes Signal ertönt und danach kann das Dongle entfernt werden. Mit diesem Vorgehen wird eine Grundeinstellung wieder hergestellt.A reset to default settings or a "reset" function can be done by resetting the dongle to emergency operation. Alternatively, a switch on the dongle can be set to emergency mode. For this purpose, the dongle is put on a free outlet on the furniture or the device for influencing the movement and a corresponding signal sounds for confirmation. Now one waits until a continuously repeated signal sounds and then the dongle can be removed. This procedure restores a basic setting.
Zur optionalen Frontspalteinstellung mit dem Dongle kann eine Frontansicht eingerichtet werden, bei der alle betreffenden Fronten der bewegbaren Möbelteile bzw. Schubladen gleich bzw. fluchtend zueinander stehen. Zum Beispiel wird eine entsprechende Schublade bei angestecktem Dongle angetippt und das System bzw. die Kontrolleinheit addiert zur voreingestellten Grundeinstellung bzw. einer Touch-Latch-Position einen Impuls. Die Schublade fÀhrt eine neue Touch-Latch-Position an, die eine neue Frontspalt-Abmessung aufweist.For the optional front gap setting with the dongle, a front view can be set up, in which all relevant fronts of the movable furniture parts or drawers are flush with each other. For example, a corresponding drawer is tapped when the dongle is plugged in and the system or the control unit adds a pulse to the preset basic setting or a touch-latch position. The drawer moves to a new touch latch position, which has a new front gap dimension.
