Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schließvorrichtung, insbesondere für Möbelschubladen nach dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a locking device, in particular for furniture drawers according to the preamble of independent claim 1.

Schließvorrichtungen für Möbelschubladen sind bereits zahlreich aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, welche ein gleichmäßiges und/oder vollständiges Schließen der Schublade ermöglichen.Closures for furniture drawers are already numerous from the state known in the art, which is a uniform and / or complete closing allow the drawer.

Aus der EP 1 188 397 A1 ist eine Einzugsautomatik als Schließvorrichtung gezeigt, wobei ein Gehäuse vorhanden ist, mit einer Zugfeder als Energiespeicher und einem Auslöser-Element, das von einem Medium im Gehäuse gebremst wird.From EP 1 188 397 A1 an automatic catchment as a closing device shown, wherein a housing is present, with a tension spring as energy storage and a trigger element that is braked by a medium in the housing.

Wenn stark unterschiedliche Möbelteile, beispielweise leichtere und schwerere Schubladen verwendet werden, ist eine individuelle Einstellung der Schließkraft wünschenswert. Wenn die Schließvorrichtung mit einem Dämpfungssystem kombiniert ist, sollte auch die Schließkraft der Schließvorrichtung an die Schließkraft des Dämpfungssystems angepasst werden können.If very different furniture parts, for example, lighter and heavier Drawers used is an individual adjustment of the closing force desirable. When the locking device with a damping system Combined, the closing force of the locking device should be attached to the Closing force of the damping system can be adjusted.

Eine Möglichkeit dieser Einstellung ist der Einsatz von schwächeren oder kräftigeren Energiespeichern in der Schließvorrichtung. Es hat aber den Nachteil, dass verschiedene Schließvorrichtungen gefertigt werden müssen.One way this setting is the use of weaker or more powerful energy storage in the locking device. But it has the disadvantage that different closing devices must be made.

Mit der DE 8907511 U1 ist ein Schubladenauszug mit Einzugsautomatik bekannt geworden, mit einer Blattfeder als Energiespeicher, die an einem mit der feststehenden Korpusschiene Support befestigt ist und die mittels einer quer zur horizontalen Feder-Kraftwirklinie verstellbaren Schraube in ihrer Feder-Vorspannungskraft einstellbar ist. Am freien Ende der Blattfeder ist eine Rolle angeordnet, die am Ende des Einschubvorganges der Schublade in den Möbelkorpus über einen Schuh mit schräger Rampe abrollt. Beim Ablaufen der Rolle auf der hinteren schrägen Rampe wird die potenzielle Energie der Blattfeder in kinetische Energie umgewandelt und die Schublade automatisch in den Möbelkorpus eingezogen. Beim Ausfahren der Schublade wird dann wieder durch das Auflaufen der Rolle auf die schräge Rampe potenzielle Energie in der Blattfeder gespeichert. Nachteil ist, dass die Feder-Vorspannungskraft der Blattfeder nur in geringen Grenzen hinsichtlich Kraft und/oder Weg einstellbar ist. Weiterer Nachteil ist, dass durch das Ab- und Auflaufen der Rolle auf der schrägen Rampe große Verluste dadurch entstehen, dass nur die Hangabtriebskomponente der Federkraft genutzt wird, was die Einzugskraft der Schublade stark vermindert. Weiterhin ist nachteilig, dass durch Linienpressung der Rolle auf der die schräge Rampe eine hohe Rollreibung entsteht, die in Abhängigkeit der Anpresskraft, also der Feder-Vorspannungskraft der Blattfeder zunimmt, was die Einzugskraft weiter und progressiv stark vermindert.With DE 8907511 U1 a drawer extension with automatic retraction is known become, with a leaf spring as energy storage, which at one with the fixed carcass rail support is attached and by means of a transverse to horizontal spring force action adjustable screw in its spring biasing force is adjustable. At the free end of the leaf spring is a role arranged at the end of the insertion process of the drawer in the Furniture carcass rolls over a shoe with an inclined ramp. When expiring Scroll on the rear sloping ramp will be the potential energy of the leaf spring converted into kinetic energy and the drawer automatically into the Furniture carcass fed. When extending the drawer is then again through the emergence of the role on the sloping ramp potential energy in the Leaf spring stored. Disadvantage is that the spring biasing force of Leaf spring is adjustable only in small limits with respect to force and / or path. Another disadvantage is that by the departure and emergence of the role on the oblique ramp large losses occur because only the Downdraft component of the spring force is used, reflecting the pull-in force of the Drawer greatly reduced. Another disadvantage is that by line pressure the role on which the inclined ramp produces a high rolling friction, which in Dependence of the contact force, ie the spring biasing force of the leaf spring increases, which further reduces the pull-in power and progressively strong.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist eine Schließvorrichtung als Einzugsautomatik, insbesondere für Möbelschubladen, so zu gestalten und weiterzubilden, die besser an unterschiedliche Gewichte der bewegbaren Möbelteile angepasst werden kann.The object of the present invention is a locking device as Automatic closure, in particular for furniture drawers, so to shape and to develop, which better to different weights of the movable Furniture parts can be customized.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Schließvorrichtung, insbesondere für Möbelschubladen mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a locking device, in particular for Furniture drawers with the features of independent claim 1 solved.

Wesentliches Merkmal hierbei ist, dass die Schließvorrichtung eine Einzugsautomatik ist, wobei die Vorspannungskraft des Energiespeichers vor oder bei oder nach der Montage der Einzugsautomatik in der Führung bzw. der Schublade einstellbar ist und für die Einstellung der Vorspannungskraft des Energiespeichers mindestens ein separates Vorspannungs- oder Verstellelement vorgesehen ist, wobei der Energiespeicher mindestens eine Druckfeder oder Zugfeder beinhaltet, deren axiale Länge durch das Vorspannungs- oder Verstellelement veränderbar ist.An essential feature here is that the locking device a Automatic retraction is, with the biasing force of the energy storage before or during or after installation of automatic retraction in the guide or the Drawer is adjustable and for adjusting the biasing force of the Energy storage at least one separate Vorspannungs- or adjustment is provided, wherein the energy storage at least one compression spring or Tension spring includes, whose axial length by the bias or Adjustment is changeable.

Vorteil hier ist, dass die Vorspannungskraft des Energiespeichers von der Last der Schublade abhängig sein kann, was das Schließen der Schublade beeinflusst und dass eine variablere und feinfühligere Einstellung der Vorspannungskraft des Energiespeichers in Form einer Druck- oder Zugfeder erfolgen kann, da im Vergleich zu anderen Federarten bei Druck- oder Zugfedern einerseits die Federkonstante relativ gering ist, andererseits der Einstellwegsbereich relativ groß ist. Wenn zusätzlich ein Dämpfungssystem vorhanden ist, ist es auch vorteilhaft, dass die Schließkräfte beider Systeme optimiert werden können.The advantage here is that the biasing force of the energy store depends on the load Drawer may be dependent, which affects the closing of the drawer and that a more variable and sensitive adjustment of the biasing force of the Energy storage can take place in the form of a compression or tension spring, as in Compared to other types of springs with compression or tension springs on the one hand the Spring constant is relatively low, on the other hand, the Einstellwegsbereich relatively large is. In addition, if a damping system is present, it is also advantageous that the closing forces of both systems can be optimized.

Ein Energiespeicher mit mehr Vorspannungskraft ist vorzugsweise für schwere Schubladen geeignet. Ein Energiespeicher mit weniger Vorspannungskraft wird vorzugsweise in leichte Schubladen eingesetzt.An energy store with more biasing force is preferably for heavy Suitable for drawers. An energy storage with less biasing force is preferably used in light drawers.

Gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Energiespeicher eine Druckfeder, wobei ein Stößel als Führungselement für diese Druckfeder wirkt, die zwischen Stößelende und Koppelvorrichtung montiert ist.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the energy store is a Compression spring, wherein a plunger acts as a guide element for this compression spring, the is mounted between ram end and coupling device.

Es gibt diverse Möglichkeiten, die aber für die vorliegende Erfindung nicht einschränkend aufzufassen sein sollen:

  • Ein zusätzlicher Teil wird zwischen Stößelende und Druckfeder montiert.
  • Der Stößel hat mehrere Rastpositionen, in denen das Stößelende fixiert wird.
  • Das Stößelende ist als Schraube ausgebildet.
There are various possibilities, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention:
  • An additional part is mounted between ram end and compression spring.
  • The plunger has several detent positions in which the plunger end is fixed.
  • The ram end is designed as a screw.

Gemäß einer zweiten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Energiespeicher eine Zugfeder.According to a second embodiment of the invention, the energy store is a Mainspring.

Vorzugsweise wird ein zusätzliches Element mit verschiedenen Rastpositionen auf bzw. in dem Gehäuse der Einzugsautomatik an seinem hinteren Ende gelagert / verriegelt. Die Zugfeder wird zwischen diesem Element und der Koppelvorrichtung montiert.Preferably, an additional element with different locking positions or stored in the housing of the automatic retraction at its rear end / locked. The tension spring is between this element and the coupling device assembled.

Durch Einschieben eines Dämpfers oder eines zusätzlichen Schließelementes in die Kraftwirkungslinie des Energiespeichers (Zug-, Druck, Torsionsfeder) wird dessen Vorspannung automatisch verändert bzw. erhöht.By inserting a damper or an additional closing element in the force action line of the energy storage (tension, compression, torsion) is its bias automatically changed or increased.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von mehreren Ausführungsformen näher beschrieben, die jedoch nur beispielhaft, nicht aber einschränkend aufzufassen sein sollen. In the following the invention with reference to several embodiments will be closer described, but only by way of example, but not restrictive should be.

In allen Figuren 1-12 sind gleiche Bauteile, oder ähnliche Bauteile mit vergleichbarer Wirkung, mit identischen Bezugszeichen versehen.
In Fig. 1 bis Fig. 6 sind mehrere Ausführungsformen einer Einzugsautomatik 5 als Schließvorrichtung mit einer Druckfeder 8 als Energiespeicher gezeigt.In all figures 1-12, the same components, or similar components with comparable effect, provided with identical reference numerals.
FIGS. 1 to 6 show several embodiments of a retraction automatic 5 as a closing device with a compression spring 8 as an energy store.

In Fig. 1 ist die Schubladenführung 1 in geschlossener Position gezeigt. Die Einzugsautomatik 5 ist auf der Korpusschiene 4 befestigt. Der Mitnehmerzapfen 6 ist mit der Schubladenschiene 2 verbunden. Er wird von der Koppelvorrichtung 21 der Einzugsautomatik 5 ergriffen. Die Schubladenführung 1 kann auch eine Mittelschiene 3 zwischen der Schubladenschiene 2 und der Korpusschiene 4 aufweisen.In Fig. 1, the drawer slide 1 is shown in the closed position. The Automatic retraction 5 is mounted on the carcass rail 4. The driving pin 6 is connected to the drawer rail 2. He is from the coupling device 21st the automatic intake 5 seized. The drawer slide 1 can also be a Middle rail 3 between the drawer rail 2 and the carcass rail 4th exhibit.

In Fig. 2 bis Fig. 6 ist die Einzugsautomatik 5 in offener Position gezeigt und die Druckfeder 8 ist vorgespannt. Diese "offene Position" besteht beim Schließen der Schublade, kurz bevor die Einzugsautomatik aktiv wird, oder auch beim Öffnen der Schublade, wenn der Mitnehmerzapfen wieder frei ist.In Fig. 2 to Fig. 6, the automatic retraction 5 is shown in the open position and the Compression spring 8 is biased. This "open position" exists when closing the Drawer, just before the automatic feed function is activated or when opening the drawer when the drive pin is free again.

Die Fig. 2 zeigt eine Einzugsautomatik 5, die zum Stand der Technik gehört. Die Druckfeder 8 wird auf dem Stößel 9 zwischen dem Keil 10 und dem Blech 23 gehalten, bzw. mit Vorspannung gedrückt. Der Keil 10 liegt am Ende des Stößels 9.Fig. 2 shows an automatic retraction 5, which belongs to the prior art. The Compression spring 8 is on the plunger 9 between the wedge 10 and the plate 23rd held, or pressed with bias. The wedge 10 is located at the end of the plunger 9th

In Fig. 3 ist eine erste Variante für die Verstellung der Vorspannungskraft der Druckfeder 8 gezeigt. Ein Vorspannungselement 11 ist zwischen dem Keil 10 und dem Ende des Stößels 9 montiert. In diesem Fall ist die Druckfeder 8 mehr vorgespannt als die Druckfeder 8 der Fig. 2. Eine solche Einzugsautomatik 5 wird eher für eine Schwerlast-Schublade eingesetzt. Es wäre möglich, Vorspannungselemente 11 mit verschiedenen Längen zu verwenden, und/oder mehrere miteinander zu kombinieren und/oder das Vorspannungselement 11 axial verschiebbar im Gehäuse 7 der Einzugsautomatik 5 zu gestalten, damit es in verschiedenen Positionen verrastet werden kann.In Fig. 3 is a first variant for the adjustment of the biasing force of Compression spring 8 shown. A biasing element 11 is between the wedge 10 and the end of the plunger 9 mounted. In this case, the compression spring 8 is more biased as the compression spring 8 of Fig. 2. Such a retraction 5 is rather used for a heavy duty drawer. It would be possible, To use biasing elements 11 with different lengths, and / or to combine several together and / or the biasing member 11 axially slidable in the housing 7 of the automatic intake 5 to make it in different positions can be locked.

In Fig. 4 ist eine zweite Variante für die Verstellung der Vorspannungskraft gezeigt. Der Stößel 9 hat axial voneinander beabstandete Löcher 12 an seinem Endbereich, wobei der Keil 10 auch ein Loch 12 hat, in das ein Stift 13 lösbar quer oder Schräg zur Längsachse eingreift und den Keil 10 mit dem Stößel 9 in der gewünschten Vorspannungslänge fixiert.In Fig. 4 is a second variant for the adjustment of the biasing force shown. The plunger 9 has axially spaced holes 12 at its End portion, wherein the wedge 10 also has a hole 12, in which a pin 13 releasably transversely or obliquely engages the longitudinal axis and the wedge 10 with the plunger 9 in the desired preload length fixed.

In Fig. 5 und Fig. 6 ist eine dritte Variante für die Verstellung der Vorspannungskraft gezeigt. Der Stößel 9 ist kürzer als die Stößel der Figuren 1-4 und an seinem freien Ende axial aufgebohrt und in diese Bohrung 15 ist ein Innengewinde eingebracht. Eine Schraube 14 ist in der Bohrung 15 montiert. Für eine schwere Schublade wird die Schraube 14 vorzugsweise komplett eingeschraubt (Fig. 5) und für eine leichte Schublade wird die Position der Fig. 6 bevorzugt.In Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 is a third variant for the adjustment of Biasing force shown. The plunger 9 is shorter than the plunger of Figures 1-4 and axially drilled at its free end and in this bore 15 is a Internal thread introduced. A screw 14 is mounted in the bore 15. For a heavy drawer, the screw 14 is preferably complete screwed in (Fig. 5) and for a light drawer, the position of Fig. 6 prefers.

In Fig. 7 bis Fig. 10 sind Ausführungsformen einer Einzugsautomatik 5 als Schließvorrichtung mit einer Zugfeder 22 als Energiespeicher gezeigt.FIGS. 7 to 10 show embodiments of an automatic retraction mechanism 5 as Closing device shown with a tension spring 22 as energy storage.

In Fig. 7 und Fig. 8 ist die Schubladenführung 1 in geschlossener Position gezeigt. Die Einzugsautomatik 5 ist auf der Korpusschiene 4 befestigt. Der Mitnehmerzapfen 6 ist mit der Schubladenschiene 2 verbunden. Er wird von der Koppelvorrichtung 21 der Einzugsautomatik 5 ergriffen. Am Ende der Einzugsautomatik 5 ist ein Vorspannungselement 16 fixiert. Die Zugfeder 22 ist zwischen dem Boden 16a des Vorspannungselements 16 und der Koppelvorrichtung 21 fixiert.
Das Vorspannungselement 16 hat mehrere Rastpositionen. Zum Beispiel, in der Fig. 7 liegt die axial vorn liegende Rastkante 17 des hinteren Anhangteils 16b des Vorspannungselements 16 auf der hinteren Stirnseite 19 der Korpusschiene 4 auf, für eine minimale Vorspannungskraft der Zugfeder 22. In der Fig. 8 liegt die axial hinten liegende Rastkante 18 des hinteren Anhangteils 16b des Vorspannungselements 16 auf dem Anschlag 20 des hinteren Anhangteils 7a Gehäuses 7 der Einzugsautomatik 5 an. Eine andere Möglichkeit (nicht dargestellt) wäre, dass die Rastkante 17 des Vorspannungselements 16 auf dem Anschlag 20 des Gehäuses 7 der Einzugsautomatik 5 anliegen würde.In Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, the drawer slide 1 is shown in the closed position. The automatic intake 5 is mounted on the carcass rail 4. The driving pin 6 is connected to the drawer rail 2. He is gripped by the coupling device 21 of the automatic retraction 5. At the end of the automatic feed 5, a biasing element 16 is fixed. The tension spring 22 is fixed between the bottom 16 a of the biasing member 16 and the coupling device 21.
The biasing element 16 has a plurality of latching positions. For example, in Fig. 7, the axially forward locking edge 17 of the rear appendage portion 16b of the biasing member 16 rests on the rear end face 19 of the body rail 4, for a minimum biasing force of the tension spring 22. In Fig. 8, the axially rearward Locking edge 18 of the rear attachment portion 16 b of the biasing member 16 on the stop 20 of the rear attachment portion 7 a housing 7 of the automatic retraction 5 at. Another possibility (not shown) would be that the locking edge 17 of the biasing element 16 would rest on the stop 20 of the housing 7 of the automatic retraction 5.

In Fig. 9 und Fig. 10 ist die Einzugsautomatik 5 ausgezogen, die Koppelvorrichtung 21 rastet auf einer Kante des Gehäuses 7. Die Zugfeder 22 ist vorgespannt.
In der Fig. 9 ist die Vorspannungskraft der Zugfeder 22 minimal, da das Vorspannungselement 16 am Ende des Gehäuses 7 verrastet ist.In Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, the automatic retraction 5 is pulled out, the coupling device 21 snaps on one edge of the housing 7. The tension spring 22 is biased.
In Fig. 9, the biasing force of the tension spring 22 is minimal, since the biasing element 16 is latched at the end of the housing 7.

In der Fig. 10 ist die Vorspannungskraft der Zugfeder 22 ein bisschen größer, da das Vorspannungselement 16 weiter hinten auf dem Gehäuse 7 verrastet ist. In Fig. 10, the biasing force of the tension spring 22 is slightly larger because the biasing element 16 is latched further back on the housing 7.

Das heißt, dass die Länge des Gehäuses 7 für die kleinste gewünschte Vorspannungskraft der Zugfeder 22 passen soll. Größere Vorspannungskräfte werden durch Auseinanderschieben des Vorspannungselements 16 und des Gehäuses 7, sowie Einrasten des Vorspannungselements 16 erreicht.That is, the length of the housing 7 is for the smallest desired Bias force of the tension spring 22 should fit. Larger preload forces be by pushing apart of the biasing element 16 and the Housing 7, as well as locking the biasing element 16 reaches.

In Fig. 11 und Fig. 12 ist eine andere Ausführungsform einer Einzugsautomatik 5 als Schließvorrichtung mit einer Zugfeder 22 als Energiespeicher gezeigt, wobei das Vorspannungselement 16 im Gehäuse 7 der Einzugsautomatik 5 gelagert / verriegelt ist.In Fig. 11 and Fig. 12 is another embodiment of an automatic retraction 5 shown as a closing device with a tension spring 22 as energy storage, wherein the biasing element 16 is mounted in the housing 7 of the automatic retraction 5 / is locked.
