Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electromotive furniture drive referred to in the preamble of claim 1 for adjusting parts of a piece of furniture relative to each other.
  • Such furniture drives are well known and are used for example for adjusting adjustable parts of a slatted frame.
  • the known furniture drives have a manual control device, for example in the form of a so-called hand switch, with one or more controls by means of which or the various functions of the furniture drive, such as lifting and lowering a head or a footboard of the slatted frame are triggered.
  • a manual control device for example in the form of a so-called hand switch, with one or more controls by means of which or the various functions of the furniture drive, such as lifting and lowering a head or a footboard of the slatted frame are triggered.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a furniture drive referred to in the preamble of claim 1, in which the operation is designed particularly simple and is easy and inexpensive to produce.
  • the invention provides that the control element by hand in at least two locking positions is movable, each locking position is assigned a predetermined Verstellhub a part to be adjusted of the furniture.
  • the manual control device For example, an adjustment of a head part of a slatted frame in a half raised Verstellage and the second locking position, for example, an adjustment of the head part in a fully raised Verstellage can be assigned. Since, according to the invention, the detent positions are unambiguously associated with the individual adjustment positions, it is sufficient for a user of the furniture drive to remember in which detent position, ie after how many detents, a desired adjustment position has been reached.
  • a particular advantage of the furniture drive according to the invention is that in principle can be dispensed with so-called memory circuits, which are provided in known furniture drives to the moving part of the furniture in a previously stored Verstellage.
  • the user merely notices in which latching position, that is to say after which number of notches, the adjustment position desired by him is reached.
  • a detent is understood according to the invention to mean a process in which the operating element moves into a detent position.
  • the manual operating device of the furniture drive according to the invention has only one operating element.
  • it can also be provided two or more controls.
  • two controls can be provided, which can be triggered by the one adjustment of, for example, a head part of a slatted frame and by the other, for example, an adjustment of a foot part of a slatted frame.
  • a detent position is understood according to the invention to mean a position of the operating element whose reaching is perceptible by a user of the furniture drive in an acoustic and / or tactile manner. Accordingly, the achievement of the detent positions can be displayed, for example, in an exclusively acoustic manner by generating an acoustic signal when a detent position of the operating element is reached.
  • the control element mechanical latching means are assigned. In this embodiment, upon reaching a detent position, a mechanical latching action takes place, which can be perceived by a user of the furniture drive both acoustically via a detent sound as well as tactile. In this way, the achievement of the locking positions for the user is particularly easy to perceive.
  • the invention provides that the operating element is designed as a rotatably mounted operating wheel and that the locking positions correspond to different rotational positions of the operating wheel.
  • the operation of the furniture drive according to the invention is even simpler and more intuitive designed by a user of the furniture drive can select different Verstellagen a part to be adjusted by turning the control wheel.
  • the locking means have at least one rotatably connected to the operating gear, at the periphery of at least one locking element, in particular at least one detent spring.
  • detection means for detecting the rotational position of the operating wheel are required.
  • An advantageous development of the teaching of the invention provides insofar as electrical or electronic detection means for detecting the rotational position of the operating wheel.
  • the detection means comprise at least one potentiometer.
  • Corresponding potentiometers are available as relatively simple and inexpensive standard components.
  • optical or opto-electronic detection means can also provide for detecting the rotational position of the operating wheel, as indicated by another development of the teaching according to the invention.
  • a perforated disc which is arranged in the beam path of a light barrier, so that according to the rotational position of the operating wheel, the light barrier is either interrupted or closed and in this way a rotation of the operating wheel can be determined.
  • another embodiment of the teaching according to the invention provides that the operating wheel is mounted movably in the radial direction of its axis of rotation along a linear actuation axis and that the switch is associated with the linear actuation axis.
  • the switch may be operated, for example, by the user pressing on the operating wheel.
  • any suitable functions of the furniture drive can be assigned to the switch.
  • a so-called "reset” function is to be realized in the furniture drive according to the invention, so provides an advantageous development of the aforementioned embodiment that a reset of the part to be adjusted of the furniture in a predetermined starting position can be triggered by the switch.
  • the adjustment of one to be adjusted Part of the furniture triggered by the fact that the user turns the wheel, while being driven by movement of the control wheel along the linear actuation axis of the furniture drive so that it moves the part to be adjusted of the furniture in a predetermined starting position, so that in this way a "Reset "Function is realized.
  • Fig. 1 an embodiment of a manual control device 2 of a furniture drive according to the invention is shown.
  • the furniture drive itself is not shown in the drawing, but may for example be designed as a double drive with two drive units, one of which serves for adjusting a head part of a slatted frame and the other for adjusting a foot part of the slatted frame.
  • the kind and The manner in which the head and foot part of a slatted frame are adjusted by means of a corresponding double drive is generally known to the person skilled in the art and will therefore not be explained in more detail here.
  • the manual control device 2 has a composite of two plastic half-shells housing 4, in the top two recesses 6, 8 are formed, from which two control elements in the form of two knurled in this embodiment, operating wheels 10, 12 protrude.
  • the manual control device 2 is connected in this embodiment via a cable 14 with a control device of the furniture drive.
  • Fig. 2 shows the manual control device 2 according to Fig. 1 , wherein an upper half-shell of the housing 4 is omitted, so that components in the interior of the housing 4 can be seen.
  • the operating wheel 10 will be explained in greater detail in order to clarify the teaching according to the invention; the operating wheel 12 is constructed accordingly.
  • the operating wheel 10 is rotatably mounted in the interior of the housing 4 and according to the invention by hand in at least two locking positions movable, each locking position is assigned a predetermined Verstellhub a part to be adjusted of the furniture.
  • twelve locking positions are provided, which are distributed in the circumferential direction equidistantly over the circumference of the control wheel 10.
  • the operating wheel 10 is associated with mechanical locking means which in this embodiment have a non-rotatably connected to the operating wheel 10 gear 16, abut on the circumference of two locking elements in the form of locking springs 18, 20.
  • the detent springs 18, 20 for a user the manual control device 2 clearly audible and on the operating wheel between the teeth of the gear 16 a, so that in this way the locking positions of the control wheel 10 are defined.
  • a potentiometer For detecting the rotational position of the operating wheel 10, electrical detection means in the form of a potentiometer are provided in this embodiment, which cooperates with the gear 16 facing the end of the axis of rotation of the control wheel 10.
  • the housing of the potentiometer is in Fig. 2 designated by the reference numeral 21.
  • the potentiometer converts different rotational positions of the operating wheel 10 into different resistances, so that it can be determined from the respective resistance in which rotational position the operating wheel 10 is located.
  • the operating wheel is in the radial direction of its axis of rotation along a linear actuating axis, which in Fig. 2 symbolized by an arrow 22, movably mounted, wherein the linear actuating axis is associated with a switch on which the gear 16 remote from the end of the axis of rotation of the operating wheel 10 resiliently rests, so that the switch is actuated when the operating wheel 10 in Fig. 2 is pressed down along the actuating axis 22.
  • a provision of the part to be adjusted of the furniture in a predetermined starting position can be triggered by the switch.
  • a user of the furniture drive rotates starting from a starting position, If the user rotates the operating wheel 10 by 360 °, a drive unit of the furniture drive is controlled so that it moves the head part of the slatted base from the starting position into an end position of the adjusting movement in which the head part is arranged, for example inclined at an angle of 45 °. If the user wishes to move the head part into an adjustment position between the initial position and the end position, then he turns the operating wheel 10 by a correspondingly smaller circumferential angle, wherein the operating wheel 10 successively reaches different locking positions during its rotation.
  • the user can first select by turning the wheel 10 its preferred adjustment of the head part and during the rotation of the control wheel 10 count how many notches are required to get into the desired adjustment position.
