Description

Mehrgelenkscharnier Multilink hinge
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Mehrgelenkscharnier, insbesondere für Kühlschranktüren, bestehend aus scherenartig miteinander verbundene Gelenkhebeln.The invention relates to a multi-joint hinge, in particular for refrigerator doors, consisting of scissor-like interconnected articulated levers.
Derartige Scharniere sind im Stand der Technik zahlreich bekannt, z.B. durch das Patent GB 1 066 710 oder US 5 035 026.Such hinges are well known in the art, e.g. by the patent GB 1 066 710 or US 5 035 026.
Die bekannten Scharniere haben jedoch verschiedene Nachteile.However, the known hinges have several disadvantages.
Da insbes. bei Kühlschränken, wegen der thermischen Isolierung, sehr dicke Türkörper verwendet werden, müssen die Scharniere relativ lange Gelenkhebel aufweisen, um die gewünschte Ausladung - weg vom Korpus nach vorn - zu erreichen. Dieses führt dazu, dass zwischen den Gelenkhebeln je nach Offenstellung unterschiedlich große Spalten entstehen, die sich bei der Bewegung der Tür vergrößern oder verkleinern können. Im Falle der Verkleinerung würde sich eine Verletzungsgefahr ergeben, wenn z.B. ein Kind einen Finger hineinstecken würde. In diesem Falle würden die scherenartig verbundenen Gelenkhebel wie eine Schneid- Schere wirken.Since, in particular, in refrigerators, because of the thermal insulation, very thick door body are used, the hinges must have relatively long articulated levers in order to achieve the desired projection - away from the body forward. This results in different sized gaps between the articulated levers, depending on the open position, which can increase or decrease as the door moves. In the case of reduction, there would be a risk of injury if e.g. a child would put a finger in it. In this case, the scissors-like joint levers would act like a pair of cutting scissors.
Es ist deshalb eine Aufgabe der Erfindung diesen Mangel zu beseitigen.It is therefore an object of the invention to remedy this deficiency.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Mehrgelenkscharnier, insbesondere für Kühlschranktüren, bestehend aus scherenartig miteinander verbundenen Gelenkhebeln, dadurch gelöst, dass die das Mehrgelenkscharnier bildenden Bauteile, soweit sie je nach Öffnungsstellung des Scharniers unterschiedliche Stellungen zueinander einnehmen und unterschiedliche Zwischenräume bilden, von mindestens einer seitlichen Schutzplatte verdeckt sind.This object is achieved in a multi-joint hinge, in particular for refrigerator doors, consisting of scissor-type interconnected articulated levers, characterized in that the multi-joint hinge forming components, as far as they occupy different positions depending on the open position of the hinge and form different spaces, covered by at least one lateral protection plate are.
Damit ist die Gefahr der Verletzungen durch Einklemmen und Abscheren zwischen den Gelenkhebeln praktisch verhindert.Thus, the risk of injury from pinching and shearing between the articulated levers is virtually prevented.
Ein weiterer Nachteil der bekannten Scharniere besteht darin, dass, sofern sie mit einer federnden Zuhaltevorrichtung ausgestattet sind, was insbesondere bei einem Kühlschrank von Vorteil ist, die Zuhaltekraft nicht über einen größeren Bereich verstellt werden kann, ebenso wenig kann der Drehbereich eingestellt werden, in dem die Zuhaltekraft wirken soll.Another disadvantage of the known hinges is that, if they are equipped with a resilient locking device, which in particular in a Refrigerator is advantageous, the locking force can not be adjusted over a larger range, nor can the range of rotation be set in which the locking force to act.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, auch diesen genannten Nachteil zu beseitigen.It is an object of the invention to eliminate this mentioned disadvantage.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Mehrgelenkscharnier, insbesondere für Kühlschranktüren, bestehend aus scherenartig miteinander verbundenen Gelenkhebeln, wobei einer der Gelenkhebel mit einer Steuerkurve ausgestattet ist und die Steuer- kurve mit einer auf einem Kipphebel gelagerten Rolle zusammenwirkt und derThis object is achieved in a multi-joint hinge, in particular for refrigerator doors, consisting of scissors-like interconnected articulated levers, one of the articulated levers is equipped with a control cam and the control curve cooperates with a roller mounted on a rocker arm and the
Kipphebel unter der Wirkung der Feder die Rolle gegen die Steuerkurve drückt, wodurch das Mehrgelenkscharnier in die Schließ- und/oder Öffnungsstellung gedrückt wird, dadurch gelöst, dass der Kipphebel mit einer Stellschraube versehen ist, die an dem gleichen Gelenkhebel anschlägt, an dem der Kipphebel gelagert ist.Rocker arm under the action of the spring pushes the roller against the control cam, whereby the multi-joint hinge is pressed into the closed and / or open position, achieved in that the rocker arm is provided with an adjusting screw which abuts on the same toggle on which the rocker arm is stored.
Über die Stellschraube kann Einfluss genommen werden auf die Zuhaltekraft des Mehrgelenkscharniers, ebenso kann Einfluss genommen werden auf den Drehbereich, innerhalb dessen diese Zuhaltekraft wirksam werden soll.The set screw can be used to influence the locking force of the multi-joint hinge, as well as influence on the turning range within which this clamping force is to take effect.
Vorteilhafterweise können bei einem Mehrgelenkscharnier der hier in Rede stehenden Art beide Gedanken auch miteinander verknüpft werden, d.h., ein Mehrgelenkscharnier mit durch mindestens eine Schutzplatte abgedeckten Bauteilen kann mit Vorteil kombiniert werden mit dem Gedanken der einstellbaren Zuhaltevorrichtung.Advantageously, in a multi-joint hinge of the type in question, both thoughts can also be linked together, i.e. a multi-joint hinge with components covered by at least one protective plate can advantageously be combined with the idea of the adjustable locking device.
Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.Further features of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.

Wie Figur 1 zeigt, besteht das Scharnier zunächst aus zwei Befestigungsteilen 1, 2 von dem eines am Korpus (nicht dargestellt) befestigt ist. Wie aus Figur 2 deutlich ersichtlich, sind die Befestigungsteile 1, 2 durch Hebel miteinander getriebemäßig verbunden. Bei dem gezeigten Ausfuhrungsbeispiel sind am Befestigungsteil 1 mit Abstand voneinander zwei Gelenkhebel 4, 5 mittels Gelenkstellen 7, 8 schwenkbar verbunden. An den freien Enden sind die Gelenkhebel 4, 5 mittels Gelenkstellen 9, 10 mit einem Scharnierarm 3 verbunden, der an seinem freien Ende mit dem Befes- tigungsteil 2 mittels Gelenkstellen 11, 12 verbunden ist. Der Gelenkhebel 4 weist im mittleren Bereich eine Gelenkstelle 21 auf, die mit einem Gelenkhebel 6 verbunden ist. Der Gelenkhebel 6 ist an seinem freien Ende mittels der Gelenkstelle 12 drehbar mit dem Befestigungsteil 2 verbunden.As FIG. 1 shows, the hinge initially consists of two fastening parts 1, 2, one of which is attached to the body (not shown). As can be seen clearly from FIG. 2, the fastening parts 1, 2 are connected to one another in terms of gear by means of levers. In the illustrated embodiment, two articulated levers 4, 5 are pivotally connected by means of hinge points 7, 8 on the fastening part 1 at a distance from each other. At the free ends, the articulated levers 4, 5 are connected by hinge points 9, 10 with a hinge arm 3, which is connected at its free end to the fastening part 2 by means of articulation points 11, 12. The articulated lever 4 has in the central region a hinge point 21 which is connected to a hinge lever 6. The articulated lever 6 is rotatably connected at its free end by means of the hinge point 12 with the fastening part 2.
Wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich, ist der Gelenkhebel 5 im Bereich der Gelenkstelle 10 mit einer Steuerkurve 13 verbunden, die an einem am Scharnierarm 3 festgelegten Kurvenkörper 22 ausgebildet ist, dessen Konturierung zur Erzielung anderer Kraftverläufe auch von der in Figur 2 dargestellten Form abweichen kann.As can be seen from FIG. 2, the articulated lever 5 in the region of the articulation point 10 is connected to a control cam 13 which is formed on a cam body 22 fixed to the hinge arm 3, whose contouring can also deviate from the shape shown in FIG. 2 in order to achieve other force profiles.
Benachbart der Gelenkstelle 10 ist ein Kipphebel 14 schwenkbar in einen Drehpunkt 23 gelagert. Im gezeigten Ausfuhrungsbeispiel steht der Kipphebel entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn unter dem Druck einer Feder 17. Am Kipphebel ist eine Druckrolle 24 gelagert die mit der Steuerkurve in Kontakt steht.Adjacent to the hinge point 10, a rocker arm 14 is pivotally mounted in a pivot point 23. In the illustrated embodiment, the rocker arm is counterclockwise under the pressure of a spring 17. On the rocker arm, a pressure roller 24 is mounted which is in contact with the control cam.
Wie aus Figur 1 ersichtlich ist der Kipphebel mit einer Stellschraube 16 versehen.As can be seen from Figure 1, the rocker arm is provided with a screw 16.
Der Schraubenkopf der Stellschraube 16 ist mittels eines Durchbruchs 25 im Gelenkhebel 5 für einen Schraubendreher oder dergleichen zugänglich. Wird die Schraube weiter aus dem Kipphebel heraus geschraubt, schlägt der Schraubenkopf an den Gelenkhebel 5 an und begrenzt die Drehung des Kipphebel 14 und verän- - A -The screw head of the adjusting screw 16 is accessible by means of an opening 25 in the articulated lever 5 for a screwdriver or the like. If the screw is screwed further out of the rocker arm, the screw head abuts on the articulated lever 5 and limits the rotation of the rocker arm 14 and changes. - A -

Mittels der Stellschraube kann der Kipphebel auch soweit gedreht werden, dass die Federwirkung aufgehoben wird.changes the characteristic of the spring behavior. By means of the adjusting screw, the rocker arm can also be turned so far that the spring action is canceled.
In den Figur 3 und 4 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel gezeigt. Seitlich an dem Scharnier ist eine Schutzplatte 15 angebracht. Diese ist im ersten Endbereich mit einer Anlenkstelle 18 drehbar an dem Befestigungsteil 2 gelagert und im gegenüberliegenden Endbereich mit einem Langloch 20 versehen, welches die Führung auf einen Führungszapfen 19 führt. Dieser Führungszapfen ist in dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel am Gelenkhebel 5 ausgebildet, könnte jedoch auch je nach Scharnierkinematik an anderen Bauteilen ausgebildet sein.In the figure 3 and 4, a further embodiment is shown. Laterally on the hinge, a protective plate 15 is attached. This is rotatably mounted in the first end region with an articulation point 18 on the fastening part 2 and provided in the opposite end region with a slot 20 which guides the guide on a guide pin 19. This guide pin is formed in the illustrated embodiment, the hinge lever 5, but could also be formed depending on the hinge kinematics on other components.
Die Anlenkstelle 18 und/oder der Führungszapfen 19 ist/sind vorteilhafterweise durch eine Verlängerung der die Gelenkhebel gelenkig miteinander verbindenden Gelenkstifte gebildet.The articulation point 18 and / or the guide pin 19 is / are advantageously formed by an extension of the hinge lever pivotally interconnecting hinge pins.
Diese Schutzplatte 15 kann je nach Einbauart oder Verwendung des Scharniers nur auf einer Seite angeordnet sein, aber auch auf beiden Seiten des Scharniers. Es liegt auch im Rahmen der Erfindung, bei Einsatz von zwei Schutzplatten, diese scharnierübergreifend U-förmig miteinander zu verbinden. This protective plate 15 may be arranged depending on the installation or use of the hinge only on one side, but also on both sides of the hinge. It is also within the scope of the invention, with the use of two protective plates to connect these hinge-overlapping U-shaped with each other.
