Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schalteinrichtung für eine sich in einem Möbel befindliche elektrische Komponente, insbesondere einen elektromotorischen Möbelstellantrieb mit einem kapazitiven Sensor.The invention relates to a switching device for a located in a furniture electrical component, in particular an electromotive furniture actuator with a capacitive sensor.
In vielen Möbeln befinden sich integrierte elektrische oder elektronische Komponenten, z. B. Lampen, Heiz- und/oder Kühleinrichtungen oder Verstellmotoren, die über entsprechende Bedienelemente im Zusammenwirken mit einer Schalteinheit vom Benutzer geschaltet werden können.In many furniture are integrated electrical or electronic components, such. As lamps, heating and / or cooling devices or adjusting motors that can be switched via appropriate controls in cooperation with a switching unit by the user.
Verstellmotoren sind dabei häufig Teil eines Möbelstellantriebs zur Bewegung von Möbelteilen gegeneinander, beispielsweise zur Höhenverstellung von Tischen oder von Fuß- und Kopfteilen bei Betten oder Sesseln. Bei solchen Möbelstellantrieben ist es notwendig, den Verstellmotor sofort abzuschalten, wenn sich ein Körperteil im Bewegungsbereich des Möbelstellantriebs befindet und eine Einklemmgefahr besteht.Adjustment motors are often part of a furniture actuator for moving furniture parts against each other, for example, for height adjustment of tables or foot and headboards in beds or armchairs. In such Möbelstellantrieben it is necessary to switch off the adjustment motor immediately when a body part is in the range of movement of the furniture actuator and a risk of entrapment exists.
Aus der Druckschrift
Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Schalteinrichtung für eine sich in einem Möbel befindliche elektrische Komponente mit einem kapazitiven Sensor zu schaffen, die als Einklemmschutz zur Überwachung auch von nichtmetallischen bewegten Möbelteilen und darüber hinaus auch für manuelle Schaltvorgänge eingesetzt werden kann.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a switching device for a located in a furniture electrical component with a capacitive sensor that can be used as anti-trap for monitoring even non-metallic moving furniture parts and beyond for manual switching operations.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch Schalteinrichtung mit einem kapazitiven Sensor mit den im Schutzanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst.This object is achieved by switching device with a capacitive sensor with the features specified in the
Die erfindungsgemäße Schalteinrichtung für eine sich in einem Möbel befindliche elektrische Komponente, insbesondere einen elektromotorischen Möbelstellantrieb, weist eine Schalteinheit und einen kapazitiven Sensor mit zumindest einer Elektrode auf, wobei die elektrische Komponente durch Annäherung an den Sensor oder durch Berührung des Sensors schaltbar ist. Sie zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass der Sensor zur Anordnung an oder in einem Möbelteil geeignet ist und bei dem die Elektrode des Sensors schichtförmig ausgeführt ist.The switching device according to the invention for a located in a furniture electrical component, in particular an electromotive furniture actuator, has a switching unit and a capacitive sensor with at least one electrode, wherein the electrical component is switched by approaching the sensor or by touching the sensor. It is characterized in that the sensor is suitable for arrangement on or in a furniture part and in which the electrode of the sensor is designed in layers.
Ein solcher Sensor, der auf einfache Weise auf eine Oberfläche eines Möbelteils angebracht werden kann oder in ein Möbelteil, z. B. ein Polster, integriert werden kann, erlaubt auf einfache und kostengünstige Weise die Realisierung eines Einklemmschutzes auch bei einem nichtmetallischen Möbelteil. Geeignet positioniert kann ein solcher Sensor im Zusammenwirken mit der Schalteinheit ebenso als Bedienelement für ein manuelles Schalten von elektrischen Komponenten, z. B. Lampen oder die Motore der Möbelstellantriebe, genutzt werden. Dabei kann das Polster oder der Polsterbezug ein Teil des schichtförmig ausgeführten Sensors sein. Dabei weist die Schalteinheit geeignete Schaltmittel auf, welche die hohen Ströme der Verbraucher, wie z. B. Lampen oder die Motore der Möbelstellantriebe schalten, wobei die Schalteinheit weiterhin mit wenigstens einem Sensor in Verbindung steht.Such a sensor that can be easily mounted on a surface of a furniture part or in a furniture part, eg. As a cushion can be integrated, allows in a simple and cost-effective way, the realization of a pinch protection even with a non-metallic furniture part. Properly positioned, such a sensor in cooperation with the switching unit as well as control element for a manual switching of electrical components, eg. As lamps or the motors of the furniture actuators used. In this case, the upholstery or the upholstery cover may be part of the layered sensor. In this case, the switching unit on suitable switching means which the high currents of the consumer, such. B. lamps or turn the motors of the furniture actuators, wherein the switching unit is still associated with at least one sensor.
