Description

The invention relates to a device for moving a movable furniture part, in particular a door or flap, and a piece of furniture with such a device.

State of the art

Devices for moving a movable furniture part are already known. A known device for moving a movable furniture part is designed, for example, as a cup hinge and connects a furniture flap on a hinge joint movable with a furniture body. A movement path of the furniture flap is fixed by a mechanism of the hinge joint immutable.

Purpose and advantages of the invention

The invention is based on the object to provide an alternative device for moving a movable furniture part.

This object is solved by the features of claims 1, 2, 4, 8, 9 and 10.

In the dependent claims advantageous and expedient embodiments of the invention are given.

The invention relates to a device for moving a movable furniture part, in particular a door or flap, wherein the device comprises guide means which movably connect the movable furniture part with a furniture body of a furniture, wherein the device comprises a drive device which comprises an electric drive unit and a Control unit has.

The essential aspect of the invention is now to be seen in that the drive device drives parts of the guide means such that different spatial movement paths of the movable furniture part in an opening process, from a closed start position on the furniture body in an open position on the furniture body, or vice versa are feasible.

Advantageously, the device is not subject to a kinematic condition, ie a mechanical constraint, resulting from a mechanical structure of the device, so that a single, in particular always the same spatially and / or always the same time-traversing movement path of the movable furniture part can be realized.

The drive unit is designed, for example, as an electric motor. Advantageously, at least one further drive unit is provided for moving the movable furniture part.

The guide means are configured for example as a lever arm and / or as a joint and / or in the form of a transmission.

In an advantageous modification of the invention, the device is attached to a single attachment point on the movable furniture part.

Preferably, the movable furniture part via a single physical connection, in particular the device in the form of a single fitting, connected to the furniture body.

Advantageously, the attachment point is formed as a mounting plate, which connects the device with the movable furniture part in particular via a plurality of connecting means, for example in the form of screws.

Ideally, the movable furniture part is not movably connected via any further coupling element to the furniture body and / or the device and / or a further movable furniture part. This makes it possible to design the device such that the movable furniture part can perform different spatially and / or differently temporally running trajectories.

Moreover, it is advantageous that the attachment point is formed in a corner region of the movable furniture part. As a result, the movable furniture part can be moved from its closed position on the furniture carcass in which it conceals a furniture carcass opening into an open position on the furniture carcass such that the movable furniture part does not cover the furniture carcass opening.

It also proves advantageous that the device is attached to a single attachment area on the furniture body.

Preferably, the device is connected to the furniture body via a single physical connection, e.g. in the form of a single additional mounting plate. The mounting plate is provided, for example, with more than one other connecting means, e.g. in the form of screws, attached to the furniture body.

Moreover, it is advantageous that the single attachment area is formed on a side wall of the furniture body.

It is also advantageous that the single attachment area is formed on an inner side of the furniture body.

Preferably, the single attachment area is formed on one, an interior of the furniture body facing the inside of the furniture body. As a result, the device is arranged on the furniture body such that it is not visible in the closed position of the movable furniture part on the furniture body for a user.

It is conceivable that the single attachment area is formed on an inner side of a furniture body floor, a furniture body cover and / or the furniture body side wall.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the device, a guide means is designed as a lever arm and this variable in length, wherein the drive unit is adapted to change the length of the lever arm.

As a result, a linear movement of the movable furniture part can be realized in an opening and / or closing movement of the movable furniture part.

It is further proposed that the lever arm is provided for arrangement between the furniture body and the movable furniture part, that the movable furniture part is pivotally mounted on the lever arm by means of a movement member, wherein the movement member is driven independently of a movement of the lever arm via transmission means with the drive device.

As a result, a rotational movement and / or a linear movement of the movable furniture part can be realized in an opening and / or closing movement of the movable furniture part. In particular, a temporal and / or spatial superposition of the rotational movement and the linear movement of the movable furniture part can be realized.

It is also advantageous that the device is designed as a robot arm. Preferably, the robot arm is designed as a so-called industrial robot.

As a result, synergy effects can be used and the robot arm is thereby comparatively inexpensive to produce.

Moreover, it is advantageous that movements of the drive units can be freely determined by the control unit.

Advantageously, the control unit is configured programmable. In particular, the control unit comprises a data interface, for example a USB port and / or a radio interface, for example a WLAN and / or Bluetooth interface. It is also conceivable that the control unit is configured such that a motion sequence of the movable furniture part commanded or controlled by the control unit can be changed by a user of the furniture and / or by a fitter.

It is further proposed that the control unit consists of a transmitting and a receiving unit, wherein the transmitting unit is arranged separately from the remaining device.

The transmitting unit may be arranged separately from the remaining device at a location invisible to a user of the furniture on the furniture, for example on an outer side of the rear wall of the furniture body.

It is also conceivable that the transmitting unit is not formed on the furniture body, for example, the transmitting unit is a mobile electronic device, such as a cell phone or a pad. In this case, the transmitting unit can communicate with the receiving unit wirelessly, for example by means of a WLAN connection and / or a Bluetooth connection or via an infrared interface.

It also proves advantageous that the control unit consists of a transmitting and a receiving unit, wherein the receiving unit is connected to the electric drive unit and controls it.

For example, the receiving unit comprises an internal memory, which holds the movements of the drive device and the guide means by these are stored in the internal memory. In addition, further movement sequences can be programmed by a user, for example via the transmitting unit, and stored in the internal memory.

It is also advantageous that the device, in particular the control unit, comprises a sensor.

The sensor is designed, for example, such that it can detect a gesture of a user. This allows a user to e.g. activate an opening and / or closing movement of the movable furniture part. The sensor can also be designed as a switch and / or button.
