Description

The invention relates to a Rattantisch with additional technical functionality, as specified in claim 1.

Simple Rattan sugars are e.g. known from the furniture trade. Depending on the purpose of the table, e.g. Inside the apartment or in outdoor use, in the garden, different types of rattan materials can be used, natural rattan or synthetic rattan.

The invention has for its object to further improve such Rattantisch.

This object is achieved according to claim 1 by a Rattantisch with an at least on the surface transparent table top, in which solar cells are integrated, and arranged on or in the Rattantisch charging unit for electrical equipment to charge them with electrical energy, wherein the charging unit for electrical power supply is coupled to the solar cells. In this way, a rat tantalum, which in itself already represents an ecological and therefore "green" product, can be made meaningful in an ecological way and can be developed in a particularly beneficial way for the user. This is achieved by the fact that the Rattantisch itself acts as a charging option for electrical devices, namely by using solar cells, which represent a particularly ecological renewable energy source.

The loading unit may e.g. have electronics, e.g. for the charging control. Through the electronics, the electrical power supply to the charging electrical device can be controlled so that it is meaningfully charged without overloading it, and an appropriate output voltage is provided. In this way, the charging unit can deliver the electrical energy controlled to the electrical device, so that the electrical energy provided by the solar cells is discharged to the electrical device only with appropriate charging. The charging electrical device may e.g. a mobile device such as a smartphone, a mobile phone, a laptop or notebook or a tablet.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the charging unit has as electrical interface to be charged electrical device one or more connectors that are attached to the Rattan table. In this way, the electrical device can be connected to the charging unit of the Rattantisch with a commercially available charging cable. Since the respective connector is attached to the Rattan table, preferably such that it is accessible on the outside of the Rattan table, e.g. at a front side or at the top, where the table top is arranged, the handling when connecting the charging cable to the connector is simplified.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the one or more connectors are arranged laterally on an end face of the Rattan table. In this way, the one or more connectors can be accommodated in optically favorable and aesthetic manner, without disturbing the overall appearance of the Rattantischs. In this way, the Rattan table can be designed as an elegant piece of furniture, without the electrical functionality affecting the design.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that the charging unit has at least one inductive energy delivery device, by means of which electrical devices can be charged wirelessly by inductive energy transfer. In this way, the electrical device can be charged even without a charging cable. The electrical device only needs to be placed at a certain location on the rat table, near the inductive energy delivery device, to perform the charging process. The charging unit may have an automatic detection device to automatically detect the presence of an electrical device in the energy delivery range of the inductive energy delivery device and to start the inductive energy delivery. In this way, when there is no electrical device in reach, unnecessary energy is consumed and radiated into the environment. The inductive energy delivery device may e.g. be formed as a coil, optionally as a core coil or as a coreless coil, e.g. as an air coil.

The inductive energy delivery device can be arranged in particular in the region of the tabletop, so that an electrical device to be charged can be simply placed on the flat surface formed by the tabletop. Depending on the embodiment, the inductive energy delivery device may be arranged below the solar cells, so that the electrical energy is released through the solar cells to be charged electrical device. Alternatively, a certain area of the tabletop can not be equipped with solar cells, so that at this point then the inductive energy delivery device can be arranged. The Rattantisch can also have several such inductive energy delivery devices.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that the charging unit has at least one charge holder for mechanically holding at least one electrical charge to be charged Device while charging. In this way, the electrical device to be charged can be safely stored on the Rattan table without the risk of falling down. Depending on the embodiment, the charging bracket z. B. have one or more of said connectors, or an inductive energy delivery device, or both.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the at least one charging holder Haltleernente for holding the electrical device during charging perpendicular to the table top, horizontally to the table top or obliquely to the table top. In this way, the electrical device can be kept in a convenient location in the charging cradle. In particular, a position for the electrical device may be defined by the holding elements, by which the optics and the design of the Rattan table are not adversely affected. When stored obliquely to the table top, the angle may e.g. in the range of 60 degrees.

The charging bracket may also include adjustable support members so that the location of the electrical equipment during charging can be adjusted at the user's option, e.g. in a range between vertical and horizontal to the table top, so that, for example, different angles can be selected obliquely to the table top. For this purpose, the charging bracket can be designed to be pivotable.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the Rattantisch has a plurality of charging cradles having differently shaped holding elements, so that a aufzuladendes electrical device can be arranged either in one of at least two different layers during the charging process. In this way, depending on the electrical device to be charged, the user can select in which position the device is to be arranged. It can e.g. two or all three of the aforementioned layers are perpendicular to the table top, horizontally to the table top or diagonally to the table top to choose from.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that the at least one charging holder is arranged laterally on an end face of the Rattan table. In this way, the one or more connectors can be accommodated in optically favorable and aesthetic manner, without disturbing the overall appearance of the Rattantischs. In this way, the Rattan table can be designed as an elegant piece of furniture, without the electrical functionality affecting the design.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that the Rattan table has one or more electric accumulators which can be coupled to the solar cells for charging and / or can be coupled to provide electrical energy during the charging process with an electrical device to be charged. This has the advantage that the electrical energy provided by the solar cells can be buffered by the accumulators, so that the electrical energy for charging electrical devices is available not only in sunlight, but also, for example, at night. By the mentioned electronics of the charging unit and the supply of electrical energy can be controlled by the solar cells to the accumulators, so that they are kept at a meaningful charge level, without being overcharged or deep discharged.

The solar cells may e.g. be integrated into the table top, that the table top is made of an at least partially transparent material, so that sunlight can penetrate, and the solar cells are arranged below the table top. It can also be used directly a solar panel with a plate-like surface, which then also forms the table top.

According to an advantageous development of the invention it is provided that the table top is designed as a photovoltaic glass, which contains one, several or all of the solar cells. In this way, a particularly elegant and efficient integration of the solar cells in the table top is possible addition, the solar cells are well protected from environmental influences, so that the Rattantisch is therefore suitable for outdoor applications.

The invention will be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment using drawings.
