Main shaft is arranged in pipe 17 and does not illustrate. Described main shaft itself is not that novel and according to those skilled in the art knowledge designs.

In addition visible sensor device 8 especially in figure 3, described sensor device is shown specifically in Fig. 4 a, 4b, 5 and 6.

In addition it is seen that additional guide 18, prevent drive unit 4 from tilting relative to carrier 2 by this additional guide.

Illustrating stereographic map in fig .4, wherein drive unit 4 is concealed in order to the better visibility of sensor device 8. Parts as drive unit 4 only also illustrate pipe 17, and threaded spindle is arranged in this pipe.

Sensor device 8 comprises potentiometer 13 and tooth bar 14.

Tooth bar 14 is in the rotator 15 being configured to gear and is connected with a joggle, and described rotator is visible in fig. 4b, wherein also conceals potentiometer 13 in fig. 4b.

In addition, the parts of visible liner 16 in two Fig. 4 a and 4b. This liner also according to the design of the knowledge of those skilled in the art and such as can have the guide rail being bonded with each other or the analogue of with or without roller.

Illustrating the detailed view being shown specifically sensor device 8 of equipment 1 in figs. 5 and 6, wherein this is this kind of situation for two different relative positions between drive unit 4 and carrier 2.

If such as existing such as the relative position between drive unit 4 and carrier 2 in Figure 5 under operation and producing collision when furniture parts 6 moves, so this causes drive unit relative to the change of the relative position of carrier 2, and wherein whisker 11 extends (see Fig. 6).Identify that this kind of position changes by sensor device 8. (it is noted that the different lengths of the visible part of tooth bar 14. )

Fig. 7 and 8 illustrates the exploded view of the equipment according to the present invention, and wherein Reference numeral is certainly also corresponding to the object described before respectively with same reference numerals.

The furniture 10 according to the present invention of the equipment 1 having according to the present invention is shown in figures 9 and 10, wherein there are two relative orientations of main body 5 relative to furniture parts 6. This is also this kind of situation in fig. 11, is wherein provided with thereon and additionally illustrates the obstacle in another furniture form below the furniture 10 of glass. Inside subject 6 encounters glass when moving downward, and the power that thus whisker 11 (see Fig. 6) resisted by drive unit as the response of the counterpressure to glass is upwards moved. This is identified by sensor device 8 and is reported to control or setting device 9.

But, the present invention is not only effective to the obstacle of outside, as illustrated in Figure 11. Equally, reliably identify following obstacle by the present invention, i.e. other furniture parts (body part being such as clamped between the compartment of inside subject and the furniture door of closedown) above inside subject 6 or between inside subject 6. Generally speaking, this obstacle being suitable for all obstructions or stoping the motion caused by drive unit 4 of furniture parts 6.

This occurs to be unimportant for the present invention in which way. It is envisaged that button, switch or any type by opening the triggering of cabinet door.

Due to also in the normal operation of not collision or analogue movable furniture component motion start and at the end of the acceleration that produces, it is nonsensical for turning off drive unit 4 when relative position x changes every time. Therefore, control or setting device 9 have deactivator D, determining device E and switch S.

Based on by motor control or that setting device M sends, also carry the control to determining device E or regulating command, determining device E judges: whether the deexcitation of drive unit 4 should be effective when change in location. In principle this movable furniture component 6 be in have constant speed motion or static time be applicable. In this case, determining device E close switch S, thus deactivator D can transmit signal to motor control or setting device M. If movable furniture component 6 is in the motion with constant speed, so deactivation signal can be sent to motor control or setting device M by deactivator D. Certainly it is also feasible that, additionally cause correction motion by deactivator D.

When static drive unit 4 meaningfully, also via deactivator D, change in location is forwarded to motor control or setting device M. Motor control or setting device M can use it for exists from offset zero or endpoint location, and this can be such as necessary when loading hanging cupboard.

The control that figure 12 illustrates or the element (D, S, E, M, B) of setting device 9 substantially logic property and certainly can realize on a unique circuit card or analogue.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment shown in this. Such as, the present invention also can in the furniture parts that can move horizontally, especially application in drawer. Other spring assembly well known by persons skilled in the art equally not necessarily must use two whiskers, because also can illustrate similar favourable form of implementation. Same content is applicable to use the potentiometer for detecting turned position, because certainly also contemplated that, it may also be useful to linear potentiometer or the sensor device completely differently acted on. Finally, also there is no need to adopt motor control or setting device after the change in location detected between drive unit and carrier. Such as also can simply send alarm sound.
