Description

Modular free-combination type furniture

The present invention relates to particularly a kind of intelligent splicing furniture of furniture.

The developing history of human furniture,---combined type---the board-like three phases that experienced frame-type.Modular free-combination type furniture is called for short modulus furniture, drawn the advantage of former class furniture, and a kind of brand-new intelligent furniture through inventing after the innovation, modulus furniture not only has tangible difference with traditional frame-type furniture, and substantial difference is arranged with sectional furniture, plate fitment, its characteristics are:

From the angle of geometric meaning, composite furniture is only cut apart from the height and the width two-dimensional direction conventional frame formula furniture.And modulus furniture carries out three-dimensional segmentation to traditional frame-type furniture from height, width, three directions of the degree of depth.Then, adopt the efficient securing member of bolt class to realize firmly being connected into furniture integral body by connecting hole.The three-dimensional segmentation of being carried out in the what is more important french type furniture, it is not only cutting apart on the geometric meaning, but according to the difference on the function of use, the implementation function is cut apart, antique traditional furniture is divided into the function casing that several vary in size, or the title functional module, select for use the appropriate functional module to be connected into furniture integral body then.This partitioning scheme can reduce the appearance and size of casing effectively, and nationality is to reduce the interior space that furniture takies.

Plate fitment is divided into some plates with traditional frame-type furniture, then realizes connection, assembly unit.It is meticulous that this mode is cut apart, connect the end face that contact-making surface is a plate between plate and the plate, the contact supporting surface seldom, cause furniture to connect back weak strength, poor rigidity, the life-span number of times of assembly unit is limited, simultaneously in order to satisfy connection, requirement on machining accuracy height to plate, hole, the join condition harshness, the complex structure of connection securing member costs an arm and a leg.And modulus furniture is divided into some function casings with antique traditional furniture, degree of cutting apart is moderate, and design has the connection plane on casing, carry out the perforation connection by connecting the plane between each casing, it is big to connect supporting surface, and good stability greatly reduces the required precision to design processing, owing to adopt perforation to connect, can select for use cheap bolt class securing member to realize efficient fastening connection.Connect back furniture bulk strength height, good rigidly, repeatedly dismounting does not reduce the whole performance that connects.

The technology the most close with modulus furniture is that utility model patent " free-combination type composite furniture " patent No.: ZL95204949.X. two the present invention that compares of Patent Office of micro state bulletin on December 11st, 1996 has following substantial breakthrough and development:

1, the method for designing cut apart by function is proposed first.Promptly furniture is segmented by function of use and cut, design different furniture functions casings, i.e. functional module respectively by the fine difference on the function of use.The user chooses furniture integral body, but needs by using, and chooses the several function module, and assembly unit connects voluntarily then, formation furniture.

2, broken through restriction to casing quantity and shape.In the present invention, casing quantity can be matched arbitrarily by the user, and the shape of casing can be rectangular, also can be the special-shaped casing that has only two orthogonal planes or three orthogonal planes.

3, in the design of connection holes, the brand-new design thought of modulus location has been proposed creatively first.Of the whole family in the tool, it is changeable all to exist the position, in twos the Design Orientation problem of the connection holes in the casing of Hu Huaning in modulus furniture and free combo.According to conventional method, the difficulty height of design, workload is big, and the modulus principle that the present invention proposes has first been used for reference the notion of Machine Design middle gear modulus, and has been innovated.

In design of gears, in order to solve in the gears engaged, the modulus notion has been adopted in the effective engagement between the different gears that diversity that the position of engagement changes and realization are exchanged in twos.In the design of gears, modulus is a gear diameter and the ratio of the number of gears, has solved the engagement problem that along the circumferential direction goes up, and the modulus in the modulus design principle that the present invention proposes is arbitrary constant, solution be along the changeable connection orientation problem on the rectilinear direction.After adopting the design of modulus principle, two casings that link can realize very easily that step pitch is the continuous mutual alignment variation of a modulus.This is " type furniture " not available function.

The design philosophy of modulus location can be transplanted and is used for the location design that there is the fitting that links to each other in twos in other.

The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of intelligentized furniture, this furniture is made of the casing of a series of functionalization, the user can be according to the needs of oneself, select different function casings, go out various furniture as taking long-pending this assembly unit then, also can the style that has formed be made a change, adapt to not chummery, different instructions for uses.The method for designing of locating hole has not only been simplified in the modularization design in hole, and the possibility that can provide more assembly unit to change.Modularization is from matching furniture under the prerequisite of the requirement of being satisfied with the user, reduced the taking of the interior space, and can provide wide space of thinking, visual space and a living space for the user.

For manufacturer, the present invention is suitable for realization standardization, seriation, produces in enormous quantities; Easily processing, low cost, convenient transportation.

The present invention is achieved in that common wealth furniture is segmented by function of use, is divided into the several function casing, and the collocation assembling forms furniture again.For guaranteeing that assembling connects, each function casing exists two or more mutually perpendicular connection planes, connect on the plane and have two or more connection holes, the position sign matched moulds in hole is counted principle, the projector distance on the forward view that is the center line in hole is the integral multiple of certain constant M, and M is greater than 1CM.The center line in hole is the integral multiple of M apart from the distance that connects plane bar edge line, the appearance and size of function casing, and the projection size on the vertical and horizontal direction of forward view is the integral multiple of M.

The structure of furniture forms a lot, and is ever-changing, but can be decomposed into function casing one by one from major part in essence.The present invention has broken through the intrinsic design set of antique traditional furniture, common wealth furniture is segmented by actual function of use, be divided into some function casings, the integral design of antique traditional furniture is changed into the design of the function casing that is undertaken by certain rule, produce functional module (being the function casing) one by one.The user in use only need select the own needed casing (module) that corresponding function of use requires that possesses, and assembly unit connects one of formation or the complete furniture of a cover voluntarily then.

In order to realize the good connection between each casing and to connect the diversity of form afterwards, designing, be processed with the mutually perpendicular connection plane more than two or two on the casing, on the connection plane, be processed with two or two above connection holes, select for use during for connection, the quantity in hole is pressed the modulus principle with the position according to the needs that connect and is determined.

The modulus principle has come down to propose a new reference axis---modulus axle, and the distance on the axle between each node is a constant M, and M is modulus.The position of all connection holes all is limited on the node.Need realize with design relation corresponding in twos between connecting, changing into many many-ones in the changeable design that connects in twos when a plurality of connectors like this, promptly each connector is corresponding to the design relation of same modulus axle.When the modulus axle coincidence of two connectors, and porose on the corresponding node, two effective connections that connector just can be realized boring a hole.The frequency in hole to occur high more at the node place on the corresponding interval modulus axle, realizes that between the two the probability that effectively connects is big more.Because the position in hole is limited on the node, improved the probability that the hole overlaps between two connectors, guaranteeing can to significantly reduce the processing quantity in hole under the prerequisite that realizes effectively connecting.

The accurate position in hole need not be all set in the design of adopting the modulus principle to connect at every turn definitely.As long as guaranteeing the modulus axle of two connectors overlaps, the affirmation frequency that the hole occurs between attachment section calculates two coincidence probability between the connector then, just can realize the connection design that links in twos, this be a kind of " fuzzy design ", or be referred to as " chaos design ".According to this brand-new Design Thinking method, can reduce a plurality of connectors effectively and realize in the changeable connection in the position that exchanges in twos the workload and the difficulty of location design.

The position that connects the hole on the plane is defined as the integral multiple of modulus apart from the distance that connects horizontal edge, means that node or the initial point with the modulus axle is limited on the edge of furniture functions casing, help designing, the location in the manufacturing, installation process.

With the external profile of functional compartment, the projection size of the vertical and horizontal direction on the forward view is defined as the integral multiple of modulus, helps the mutual connection between a plurality of casings, and after connection, obtain a more neat outline line and good inside and outside visual effect.

A kind of intelligent furniture of modular free-combination type furniture can be brought into play user's imagination to the full extent, and free assembly unit is satisfied the user on the furniture style, on the function of use, and the multiple variation requirement of aspects such as different display positions.

Modulus furniture in the furniture design process, can reasonably dwindle the physical dimension of furniture owing to adopt function to cut apart principle, utilizes the inner space of furniture effectively fully.Make up by the casing that adopts different depth, or adopt appropriate compound mode, can realize ultra-thin shape structure, with higher assembly unit height, doubling does not influence the stability of putting of furniture.Like this when modulus furniture uses, reduce the floor space of furniture on can certain degree, reduce furniture to the taking of living space, when giving wide space of thinking, give wide visual space and living space to the people.

Adopt the modularization design that proposes among the present invention, alleviated working strength and the design work amount in the middle of the design greatly, be the connecting mode of function casing and the variation of coupled position simultaneously, the chance that provides more choices, and obtain a good connection outward appearance and an aesthetic effect.

The method for designing of modularization can be used among other design that need realize connecting in twos outside the furniture.

The modular free-combination type furniture that the present invention relates to, form by several function casing (functional module) connection, each function casing exists mutually perpendicular connection plane above on two or two, connect the plane and exist two or more connection holes, the position dimension of connection holes meets the modulus principle, be the integral multiple of the projector distance of center line on the forward view in hole for certain constant M, M is greater than 1CM, the center line in hole also is the integral multiple of modulus M apart from the distance that connects plane bar edge line, the outer profile size of function casing, the projection size on the vertical and horizontal direction of forward view also are the integral multiple of modulus M.

In implementation process, the designer must at first segment by function traditional furniture, is divided into plurality of differently-sized, difform casing, i.e. functional module.As the overcoat module, the upper garment module, the trousers module, the books module, the drinking utensils module, the sundries module, the documentation module, drawer module, the footwear module, the dressing module, the big article module connects supporting module or the like.By reasonably cutting apart, can be according to function of use, the appearance and size and the internal structure of function casing is controlled at minimum, the most rational state.With common walk in closet is example, according to design provided by the invention, can be divided into the extension overcoat, hangs up clothing, the casing of difference in functionalitys such as extension trousers.Hang the module of overcoat, its appearance and size height is at 1.2M---and about 1.6M, the degree of depth hangs up the module of clothing about 0.5M, height is at 0.8M---about 1.0M, the module height of hanging trousers is at 0.8M---about 1.0M, the degree of depth is 0.3---about 0.35M, obviously, under the situation of depositing the equal number clothing, cut apart the wardrobe that the back recombinant forms by function, the interior space that takies is less than antique traditional furniture, and its inner space can be utilized more fully.

Be the stability of example (see figure 1) tradition bookcase again with the bookcase in order to guarantee that furniture is put, the bookcase degree of depth is generally about 0.35M, and the thickness of books is generally 0.15---0.25M, obviously, if every layer is only put row's books, can cause the waste of the bookcase useful space, if put two row's books, bring inconvenience then for taking of books, according to function dividing method provided by the invention, the books module can make strip (1) or rectangle (2), and the degree of depth is controlled at 0.2---between the 0.3M, by books module and other module, for example the degree of depth is 0.4---and drawer module (3) supporting module (4) of 0.5M is carried out fastening connection, can when guaranteeing to put stability, obtain high assembly unit height, and overcome the defective of conventional bookcase.

Articulation issues between each functional module, the present invention solves in the following way, promptly design has two or more mutually perpendicular planes on each functional module, in Fig. 2, dressing module (5) design has two mutually perpendicular connection planes, and drawer module (3) design has three orthogonal surfaces that have, and in functional module, occupy the majority, there are four to connect plane, the functional module (6) that the cross section is rectangular mutually.Have only 2---3 modules that connect planes, can only be 2---realize on 3 directions that assembly unit connects, connect planes and have 4, the module in rectangular cross section can realize assembly unit on 4 directions.

On each functional module, be processed with two or more connection holes, adopt efficient securing members such as bolt, realize the effective connection between each functional module, the position sign matched moulds in hole is counted principle.

So-called modulus principle has proposed a new reference axis---modulus axle in fact, and the distance on the axle between each node is a constant, i.e. modulus M, and the center of all connection holes is limited on the node.Two needs are implemented the functional modules that connect, when its modulus axle overlaps, when porose, just can realize effective connection between the two on the corresponding node.When adopting the modulus principle to carry out the design of connection holes, need at first to determine that the modulus axle in the position that connects on the plane, guarantees when coupled situation, the modulus axle on the module of two mutual connections can overlap fully, according to the position of node on the modulus axle, determine the position in hole then.When there being a plurality of connectors, need to realize changeable, during the connection in twos of exchange, this method for designing is the complexity of simplified design greatly, also can reduce the quantity of required machining hole simultaneously.

Fig. 3 for example: the continuous hole that several M of being spaced apart are arranged on the conjunction plane of modules A (7), the distance that module B (8) goes up the hole is NM, then modules A (7) can realize effective the connection with module B (8), and be the mutual alignment of M when changing when step pitch takes place for modules A (7) and module B (8), the validity of connection can not change.

Fig. 4 and for example, it is the continuous hole of M that N spacing arranged on the conjunction plane of module (9), between the corresponding attachment section of module B (10) within the NM, as long as it is porose on certain node, modules A (9) and module B (10) just can realize effective connection, need not find out and limit the position accurately that module B (10) goes up the hole clearly.

Therefore, during employing modulus principle, only need at first to determine the position of modulus axle on the connection plane of functional module that guarantee that when coupled situation the modulus axle on the module of two mutual connections can overlap fully, comprises dead in line, node overlaps.And then, determine the position in hole according to the position of the node on the modulus axle.When having a plurality of interconnected functional modules, need realization to exchange, when the changeable connection in position designs, adopt the modulus principle complexity of simplified design greatly, also can reduce the processing quantity in hole simultaneously.

Center line with connection holes on the module, be defined as the integral multiple (seeing accompanying drawing 5) of modulus M apart from the distance that connects the back edge line, mean that the node with the modulus axle is limited on the edge line of furniture module, so not only help design, the location of use mesopore, and help obtaining when functional module is spliced continuously a more neat outline line, will be apart from the edge center line of nearest connection holes be defined as 1 M apart from the projector distance of edge line, come down to the special case of last qualification, modulus M value is defined as greater than 1CM, for modulus value M determine a practical scope is provided, for example select modulus M value for 5CM.

Functional module is the integral multiple of M in the vertical direction and the appearance and size on the horizontal direction of forward view, and promptly the profile projection size on two orthogonal connection in-planes is the integral multiple of modulus.Seeing Fig. 5, is N1M on the horizontal direction, is N2M on the vertical direction, and N1, N2 are positive integer, when helping a plurality of modules to realize splicing continuously, guarantees the validity of connection, and obtains neat outline line.See Fig. 6.

Modular free-combination type furniture, design, the manufacture of antique traditional furniture have not only been changed, also upgraded simultaneously and reached purchase and the occupation mode of family furniture, the user is when buying furniture, no longer being to buy according to whole, both can be the needs that use according to self, buys several required functional modules, according to the instructions for use of oneself and the actual state in room, select to be assembled into furniture integral body voluntarily then.Because modular free-combination type furniture has been realized the function modoularization of casing, the modularization of the position of connection holes, and the modularization of module appearance and size, the user can carry out assembly unit freely to the module of being bought very easily, form ever-changing, the furniture of a great variety of models is satisfied with user's instructions for use and living environment to greatest extent.As among Fig. 2 by the furniture of three functional module assembly units, can arrange erection method by changing, form several different assembly unit style of Fig. 7 to Figure 12 at least.The diversity that french type furniture changes can be caught a glimpse of.

This shows that during elected majority functional module, its permutation and combination method is difficult to limit.In addition,, can realize that step pitch is the continuous position change of modulus M between each casing module, can adjust the height and the width of furniture fully, and realize that the short transverse of each module and the position of horizontal direction move by means of the continuously corrective action in hole.

Select the module of different depth for use, adopt the thin type module as much as possible, by the assembly unit of different depth module, can make the furniture after the assembly unit guaranteeing that furniture puts under the prerequisite of stability, develop to the high-altitude as much as possible, reduce as much as possible and take the surface area and the interior space.Thereby under the prerequisite of the requirement of satisfying function of use, obtain good visual effect and bigger inhabitation activity space.

Select modulus furniture for use, with the original family of user prodigiosin realization favorable compatibility.By the french type furniture parasitism is attached to former furniture, perhaps adopt the modulus inside of furniture after the former furniture embedding assembly unit, make new and old furniture form a good whole.

When the user changes house, or house inside adjusted, when moving furniture, or attempt to furniture structure, style, when function of use changes, modulus furniture has all showed good changeability, adaptability.All right and the household electrical appliance of modulus furniture, ornament and other article are inlayed, and form perfect inhabitation, use and visual effect.

Modulus furniture is a kind of furniture of intellectual service completely.User's IQ is high more, and the excursion of modulus furniture is broad more, and it can give the sage with wide space of thinking, living space and visual space.Modulus furniture is sage's furniture, sage's the world.
