Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Arbeitstisch mit einem insbesondere der Höhe nach verstellbaren Gestell, zu dessen Verstellung wenigstens ein elektromotorischer Antrieb mit einer über ein Schaltfeld einer Eingabeeinheit ansteuerbaren Steuereinrichtung vorgesehen ist, wobei die Eingabeeinheit eine Leseeinrichtung für auf einem elektronischen Datenträger abgespeicherte und an die Steuereinrichtung auslesbare Sollwerte für die Gestellverstellung aufweist.The invention relates to a work table with a particular height-adjustable frame, the adjustment is provided at least one electric motor drive with a controllable via a control panel of an input control device, wherein the input unit a reading device for stored on an electronic disk and to the control device has readable setpoints for the frame adjustment.

Um im Bereich eines Arbeitsplatzes, beispielsweise bei einem Schreibtisch, gute ergonomische Verhältnisse sicherstellen zu können, ist es bekannt, Arbeitstische mit einem insbesondere der Höhe nach verstellbaren Gestell auszustatten. Zur Vereinfachung dieser Höhenverstellung von Arbeitstischen werden elektromotorische Antriebe eingesetzt, die über eine Steuereinrichtung von einem Schaltfeld einer Eingabeeinheit her gesteuert werden können. Da eine jeweils vorteilhafte ergonomische Anpassung eines Arbeitstisches einschlägige Kenntnisse voraussetzt, sollte die Verstellung eines Arbeitstisches allerdings nur Befugten vorbehalten bleiben.In order to be able to ensure good ergonomic conditions in the area of a workstation, for example at a desk, it is known to equip working tables with a frame which is adjustable in particular in terms of height. To simplify this height adjustment of work tables electromotive drives are used, which can be controlled via a control device of a panel of an input unit ago. Since a respectively advantageous ergonomic adaptation of a work table requires relevant knowledge, the adjustment of a work table, however, should be reserved only to authorized persons.

Zum Einstellen beispielsweise der Arbeitsplattenhöhe eines Arbeitstisches ist es bereits bekannt (US 5 323 695 A), nicht nur die Möglichkeit zu schaffen, die Steuereinrichtung für den elektromotorischen Antrieb über ein Schaltfeld einer Eingabeeinheit anzusteuern, sondern auch diese Eingabeeinheit mit einer Leseeinrichtung für eine Magnetkarte zu versehen, um die auf der Magnetkarte abgespeicherten Daten unter einer Umgehung des Schaltfeldes zur Ansteuerung der Steuereinrichtung unmittelbar nützen zu können. Damit wird zwar eine Vorprogrammierung für bestimmte Stellungen des Arbeitstisches möglich, doch bleibt das Problem hinsichtlich der individuellen Einstellung des Arbeitstisches in Abhängigkeit vom jeweiligen Tischbenützer bestehen.To set, for example, the worktop height of a worktable, it is already known (US Pat. No. 5,323,695 A) not only to be able to control the control device for the electromotive drive via a switching field of an input unit, but also to provide this input unit with a reading device for a magnetic card provided in order to use the data stored on the magnetic card data directly bypassing the panel to control the controller. Although this pre-programming for certain positions of the work table is possible, but the problem remains with regard to the individual adjustment of the work table depending on the particular table users.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Arbeitstisch der eingangs geschilderten Art so auszurüsten, daß die Verstellung des Gestells zur Anpassung des Arbeitstisches an die jeweils geforderten ergonomischen Verhältnisse entweder eine entsprechende Berechtigung voraussetzt oder weitgehend automatisch durchgeführt werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object to equip a work table of the type described so that the adjustment of the frame to adapt the work table to the respective required ergonomic conditions either requires a corresponding authorization or can be carried out largely automatically.

Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch, daß die Leseeinrichtung über eine Vergleicherstufe für eine auf dem Datenträger abgespeicherte Kennung ein Zeitglied zur Freigabe des Schaltfeldes ansteuert oder die auf dem Datenträger abgespeicherten Sollwerte für die Gestellverstellung an die Steuereinrichtung ausliest.The invention achieves this object by virtue of the fact that the reading device controls a timer for releasing the switching field via a comparator stage for an identifier stored on the data carrier or reads out the setpoint values stored on the data carrier for the frame adjustment to the control device.

Das Vorsehen einer Leseeinrichtung für einen elektronischen Datenträger stellt eine vorteilhafte Voraussetzung sowohl zum Sperren des Schaltfeldes bei einer Betätigung durch Unbefugte als auch zur automatischen Verstellung des Gestells des Arbeitstisches dar. Ist auf dem Datenträger eine Kennung für die Berechtigung der Schaltfeldbenützung abgespeichert, so wird in einer Vergleicherstufe der Eingabeeinheit diese Berechtigung anhand der vom Datenträger abgelesenen Kennung überprüft, um bei einer Übereinstimmung der Kennung mit der Vorgabe das Schaltfeld über ein Zeitglied freizugeben, das das Schaltfeld nach Ablauf einer voreingestellten Zeitspanne wieder sperrt. Während der Ansprechzeit kann über das Schaltfeld der Eingabeeinheit die angeschlossene Steuereinrichtung für den elektromotorischen Antrieb des Gestells entsprechend betätigt und die Einstellung des Arbeitstisches vorgenommen werden.The provision of a reading device for an electronic data carrier is an advantageous prerequisite both to lock the panel when actuated by unauthorized persons as well as for the automatic adjustment of the frame of the work table. Is stored on the disk an identifier for the authorization of the switchboard use, it is in a Comparator stage of the input unit checks this permission based on the identifier read from the disk to release the switch box via a timer in a match of the identifier with the default, which blocks the panel after a preset period of time again. During the response time, the connected control device for the electromotive drive of the frame can be actuated accordingly via the switching field of the input unit and the adjustment of the work table can be made.

Besonders einfache Verhältnisse für die jeweils notwendige Gestellverstellung ergeben sich allerdings, wenn auf dem Datenträger die Sollwerte für die Gestellverstellung bereits abgespeichert sind, so daß diese Sollwerte über die Leseeinrichtung vom Datenträger an die Steuereinrichtung ausgelesen werden können, die dann die vorgegebenen Verstellungen unter Umgehung des Schaltfeldes automatisch veranlaßt. Diese Sollwertabspeicherung auf dem Datenträger erlaubt in einfacher Weise die Benützung eines Arbeitstisches durch mehrere Personen, die über Datenträger mit auf persönliche ergonomische Verhältnisse bezogenen Sollwerten die jeweils erforderlichen Verstellungen des Arbeitstisches ohne weiteres Zutun vornehmen können.Particularly simple conditions for the respective necessary frame adjustment arise, however, if the setpoint values for the frame adjustment are already stored on the data carrier, so that these setpoints can be read via the reading device from the data carrier to the control device, which then the predetermined adjustments, bypassing the panel automatically initiated. This setpoint storage on the data carrier in a simple manner allows the use of a work table by several people who can make the required adjustments of the work table without further action on data carriers with reference to personal ergonomic conditions setpoints.

Obwohl unterschiedliche Konstruktionen für die Datenträger und Leseeinrichtungen eingesetzt werden können, ergeben sich besonders vorteilhafte Verhältnisse vor allem hinsichtlich der Bedienung der Eingabeeinheit und der Handhabung der Leseeinrichtung, wenn die Leseeinrichtung aus einem Abfragesender für den als Transponder ausgebildeten Datenträger besteht. Gelangt der als Transponder ausgebildete Datenträger in die Reichweite des elektromagnetischen Feldes des Abfragesenders, so werden die Daten des Datenträgers an den Abfragesender weitergegeben, um anhand der vom Transponder an den Abfragesender gesendeten Daten entweder das Schaltfeld für eine Handsteuerung des elektromotorischen Antriebes freizugeben oder die Sollwerte für die Arbeitstischverstellung unter Umgehung des Schaltfeldes unmittelbar an die Steuereinrichtung weiterzuleiten.Although different constructions can be used for the data carriers and reading devices, particularly advantageous conditions arise, in particular with regard to the operation of the input unit and the handling of the reading device, when the reading device consists of an interrogation transmitter for the data carrier designed as a transponder. If the data carrier embodied as a transponder comes within the range of the electromagnetic field of the interrogator, the data of the data carrier is forwarded to the interrogator in order to release either the control panel for a manual control of the electromotive drive or the setpoint values for the data sent from the transponder to the interrogator to forward the work table adjustment bypassing the panel directly to the controller.

Damit in vorteilhafter Weise die Sollwerte für die Gestellverstellung vorgegeben werden können, kann der Leseeinrichtung eine Schreibeinheit zum Abspeichern der aus der Steuereinrichtung ausgelesenen Istwerte der Gestellverstellung auf dem Datenträger zugeordnet werden. Nach einer über das Schaltfeld vorgenommenen Anpassung der Arbeitstischeinstellung können somit die Istwerte der Gestellverstellung über die Steuereinrichtung abgerufen und mit Hilfe der Schreibeinheit als neue Sollwerte auf dem Datenträger abgespeichert werden.So that the setpoint values for the frame adjustment can be predetermined in an advantageous manner, the reading device can be assigned a writing unit for storing the actual values of the frame adjustment on the data carrier which are read out from the control device. After an adjustment of the working table setting made via the control panel, the actual values of the frame adjustment can thus be called up via the control device and stored on the data carrier with the aid of the writing unit as new desired values.

In der Zeichnung ist der Erfindungsgegenstand beispielsweise dargestellt, und zwar wird ein erfindungsgemäßer Arbeitstisch mit einer über eine Eingabeeinheit ansteuerbaren Steuereinrichtung für den elektromotorischen Antrieb in einem schematischen Blockschaltbild gezeigt.In the drawing, the subject invention is for example shown, namely, a work table according to the invention is shown with a controllable via an input unit control device for the electric motor drive in a schematic block diagram.

Gemäß dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weist der Arbeitstisch ein eine Tischplatte 1 tragendes Gestell 2 auf, das Teleskopbeine 3 zur Aufnahme der Tischplatte 1 umfaßt. Diese Teleskopbeine 3 sind mit einem elektrischen Antrieb 4 versehen, der beispielsweise ein Ritzel 5 aufweist, das mit einem Zahnstangenteil 6 der Teleskopbeine 3 kämmt, so daß bei einer Betätigung des Antriebes 4 die Teleskopbeine 3 ein- oder ausgefahren werden. Der elektromotorische Antrieb 4 ist an eine Steuereinrichtung 7 angeschlossen, die von einer Eingabeeinheit 8 her angesteuert wird. Diese Eingabeeinheit 8 umfaßt ein Schaltfeld 9, über dessen Tasten 10 der Antrieb 4 in herkömmlicher Weise betätigt werden kann. Zum Unterschied zu herkömmlichen Steuerungen weist die Eingabeeinheit 8 jedoch zusätzlich eine Leseeinrichtung 11 für einen elektronischen Datenträger 12 auf, um entweder aufgrund einer auf dem Datenträger 12 abgespeicherten Kennung das Schaltfeld 9 zur Betätigung des Antriebes 4 freizugeben oder die auf dem Datenträger 12 abgespeicherten Sollwerte für die Arbeitstischverstellung unter Umgehung des Schaltfeldes 9 unmittelbar an die Steuereinrichtung 7 auszulesen. Um besonders einfache Handhabungsverhältnisse zu schaffen, ist die Leseeinrichtung 11 als Abfragesender 13 für einen den Datenträger 12 bildenden Transponder 14 ausgebildet. Gelangt somit der Transponder 14 in den Reichweitebereich des Abfragesenders 13, so können die im Transponder 14 abgespeicherten Daten ohne weiteres Zutun über den Abfragesender 13 ausgelesen und verarbeitet werden.According to the illustrated embodiment, the work table on a table top 1 supporting frame 2, the telescopic legs 3 for receiving the table top 1 comprises. These telescopic legs 3 are provided with an electric drive 4, for example, has a pinion 5, which meshes with a rack member 6 of the telescopic legs 3, so that upon actuation of the drive 4, the telescopic legs 3 are extended or retracted. The electromotive drive 4 is connected to a control device 7, which is controlled by an input unit 8 ago. This input unit 8 comprises a control panel 9, via the keys 10 of the drive 4 can be actuated in a conventional manner. In contrast to conventional controls, however, the input unit 8 additionally has a reading device 11 for an electronic data carrier 12, in order either to release the switching field 9 for actuating the drive 4 due to an identifier stored on the data carrier 12 or the setpoint values stored on the data carrier 12 Working table adjustment, bypassing the panel 9 read directly to the controller 7. In order to create particularly simple handling conditions, the reading device 11 is configured as a query transmitter 13 for a transponder 14 forming the data carrier 12. Thus, if the transponder 14 reaches the range of coverage of the interrogator 13, then the data stored in the transponder 14 can be read out and processed without further action via the interrogator 13.

Damit der elektromotorische Antrieb 4 vom Schaltfeld 9 her betätigt werden kann, muß die Betätigungssperre für das Schaltfeld 9 aufgehoben werden. Zu diesem Zweck wird eine auf dem Datenträger 12 abgespeicherte Kennung über die Leseeinrichtung 11 einer Vergleicherstufe 15 zugeleitet, die bei Übereinstimmung der Kennung mit einer entsprechenden Vorgabe ein Zeitglied 16 ansteuert, das das Schaltfeld 9 für eine vorgegebene Zeitspanne freigibt, so daß über die Tasten 10 der elektromotorische Antrieb 4 von Hand aus betätigt werden kann. Ist eine solche Handsteuerung nicht erwünscht, so können die auf dem Datenträger 12 abgespeicherten Sollwerte für die Verstellung des Gestelles 2 des Arbeitstisches unmittelbar für die Ansteuerung des Antriebes 4 herangezogen werden, wie dies bereits ausgeführt wurde. Die Übernahme der Sollwerte durch die Steuereinrichtung 7 kann dabei automatisch oder nach einer Betätigung einer entsprechenden Taste 10 des Schaltfeldes 9 erfolgen.Thus, the electric motor drive 4 can be operated from the panel 9 ago, the actuation lock for the panel 9 must be canceled. For this purpose, an identifier stored on the data carrier 12 is fed via the reading device 11 to a comparator stage 15 which, when the identifier matches a corresponding specification, activates a timer 16 which releases the switching field 9 for a predetermined period of time, so that the keys 10 the electric motor drive 4 can be operated by hand. If such a manual control is not desired, then the setpoint values stored on the data carrier 12 for the adjustment of the frame 2 of the work table can be used directly for the control of the drive 4, as has already been explained. The assumption of the desired values by the control device 7 can take place automatically or after an actuation of a corresponding key 10 of the control panel 9.

Um nach einer Gestellverstellung über das Schaltfeld 9 die eingestellten Istwerte als neue Sollwerte einfach auf dem Datenträger 12 abspeichern zu können, kann der Leseeinrichtung 11 eine Schreibeinheit 17 zugeordnet werden, die die Istwerte der Gestellverstellung aus der Steuereinrichtung 7 abruft und als Sollwerte zur Abspeicherung auf dem Datenträger 12 zur Verfügung stellt, was im Zusammenhang mit einem Abfragesender 13 als Leseeinrichtung 11 und einem Transponder 14 als Datenträger 12 ohne besonderen Aufwand sichergestellt werden kann, weil über den Abfragesender 13 diese Sollwerte auf den Transponder 14 übertragen werden können.In order to be able to simply store the set actual values as new set values on the data carrier 12 after a frame adjustment via the switching field 9, the reading device 11 can be assigned a writing unit 17 which retrieves the actual values of the frame adjustment from the control device 7 and as set values for the storage on the Data carrier 12 provides what can be ensured in connection with an interrogator 13 as a reading device 11 and a transponder 14 as a data carrier 12 without any special effort, because these setpoints can be transmitted to the transponder 14 via the interrogator 13.
