Definitions
- the invention relates to a device according to claim 1 or a furniture according to claim 10 and a method according to claim 11.
- Devices for influencing the movement of a plurality of furniture parts movable relative to a stationary furniture part are known from the prior art, the movable furniture parts being driven by means of a drive unit and a control unit for controlling the movement of the movable furniture parts.
- An example of such a device is from the document EP 1 374 732 A1 to recognize.
- movably guided or hinged to fittings furniture parts, such as drawers, flaps, doors and the like over a furniture body mechanically or electrically supported, for example are driven by an electric motor to be moved.
- the installation or commissioning costs can not be negligible.
- the object of the present invention is to keep the installation or commissioning effort comparatively low for a device for influencing the movement of driven movable furniture parts or for corresponding furniture, whereby a high degree of user comfort and relevant safety requirements are to be met.
- the invention is initially based on a device for influencing the movement of a plurality of movable furniture parts, which are driven by a drive unit via a control unit for controlling movement of the movable furniture parts relative to a fixed furniture part movable.
- An essential aspect of the invention is that the control unit is designed to keep the relative speed between the two movable furniture parts under a predetermined value, which is smaller than a maximum between the two movable furniture parts in the simultaneous driven movement of two movable furniture parts occurring relative speed by their driven movement.
- the device for influencing the movement of a plurality of movable furniture parts depending on the basic configuration made a driven movement of two or more driven furniture movable parts simultaneously enable.
- this can increase the ease of use or bring about time advantages, but on the other hand can provoke a risk of injury or collision.
- a pinching or crushing risk can occur due to the brief movement of the movable furniture parts past one another, in particular in the case of movable furniture parts adjacent to one another.
- the relative speed results from the addition of the two individual speeds, or, for the same direction of movement of the two furniture parts, by subtracting the two individual speeds.
- drawers, doors, flaps, pull-out trays, wire baskets, pharmacy cabinets, bogies, carousels or the like come into question as movable furniture parts, which are designed in particular displaceably or movably, rotatably and / or pivotably on the furniture.
- the control unit for movement control which is, for example, a central or higher-level unit or consists of several sub-units, may in particular comprise a computer unit or a computer unit.
- the drive unit By means of the drive unit, the movable furniture part can be moved by means of the drive unit from a standstill position into a further standstill position, at least over a partial path.
- the furniture to be moved after a brief initial acceleration of the Standstill often driven at a nearly constant speed and decelerated accordingly before reaching the next standstill position.
- the driven movement of a movable furniture part therefore essentially comprises a short acceleration or deceleration phase, in particular at the beginning and end of a driven movement, and in between a movement phase with a maximum or constant speed.
- the predetermined value can be set individually or controlled by the control unit.
- a braking process with corresponding brake means can take place. Also, by inhibiting the driving effect due to e.g. Frictional losses reducing the speed of the movable furniture part be sufficiently high.
- control unit is designed to hold the relative speed at least as long under the predefinable value for the simultaneous driven movement of two movable furniture parts, such as edge portions of the two furniture parts, in particular front parts, are in a vicinity to each other.
- two movable furniture parts such as edge portions of the two furniture parts, in particular front parts
- the control unit is designed to hold the relative speed at least as long under the predefinable value for the simultaneous driven movement of two movable furniture parts, such as edge portions of the two furniture parts, in particular front parts, are in a vicinity to each other.
- control unit is formed, the predetermined value of the relative speed between the two simultaneously driven moving furniture parts to a Specify speed, which is in the range of a maximum occurring speed, which is achieved by the driven movement of one of the two furniture parts.
- a maximum occurring speed in the driven movement of a movable furniture part is chosen so that no or no appreciable risk potential results from it. Therefore, the maximum speed thus designed is to be used as a guide for a maximum occurring relative speed between two simultaneously driven moving furniture parts meaningful.
- the relative velocity thus limited can generally not pose any significant potential for injury to an operator.
- the predetermined value of the maximum permitted relative speed in the opposite direction of movement would then be, for example, the maximum individual speed v max .
- two driven movable furniture parts are moved at different maximum speeds of the drive unit.
- a predeterminable relative speed which may not be exceeded, is individually selected for two driven, movable furniture parts considered, for example the lower maximum achievable single speed of the two relevant furniture parts.
- control unit is designed to decelerate the two simultaneously driven furniture parts to the same extent to bring the relative speed between the two furniture parts below the predetermined value.
- predetermined value of the relative speed can be achieved comparatively quickly and safely.
- control unit controlled deceleration of the driven movable furniture parts for example by means of suitable braking means or a suitably designed drive unit.
- the braking movement of the furniture parts can for example be linear or non-linear.
- control unit is designed to decelerate the two simultaneously driven furniture parts differently strong, to bring the relative speed between the two furniture parts below the predetermined values. This can improve the ease of use or realize a time savings for opening or closing of movable furniture parts.
- control unit may be designed to decelerate the furniture part moving in the closed position more strongly than when moving in the movement of two furniture parts moving simultaneously, one of which moves into a closed position and another furniture part is moved into an open position open position moving furniture part to bring the relative speed between the two furniture parts below the predetermined value. This can provide an asymmetry of the deceleration processes of the movable furniture parts.
- control unit is designed in such a way, in the simultaneous driven movement of the two furniture parts after a phase of movement of the two furniture parts, in which the relative speed between the two furniture parts was kept below the predetermined value, at least one furniture part of the two furniture parts driven to accelerate. This allows different or relatively complex movement patterns for the driven movable furniture parts set.
- the predetermined relative speed value is adjusted only for certain movement phases of the moving furniture parts.
- both driven movable furniture parts if both were previously braked to achieve the predetermined value, can be accelerated again.
- control unit is designed in the simultaneous driven movement of the two furniture parts after a phase of movement of the two furniture parts, in which the relative speed between the two furniture parts was kept below the predetermined value, at least one furniture part of the two furniture parts with the same Speed driven to move.
- This allows an economic approach to the movement of the two moving furniture parts simultaneously.
- it may be advantageous to move one of the furniture parts or both furniture parts after the movement phase, in which the furniture parts were braked in particular, with the then reached drive speed on.
- This may preferably be of interest in the closing furniture part. For example, as a quiet course of movement or not jerky expiration of the driven movements of the furniture parts can be achieved, which is often perceived as pleasant becomes.
- the energy requirement or the wear for the driven movement is positively influenced in an otherwise possibly realized acceleration.
- the control unit is designed to assign a first driven movable furniture part at least one further driven movable furniture part for fixing the two furniture parts when an undesirable condition occur by the simultaneous driven movement of the first furniture part and the at least one further furniture part can.
- the fact is taken into account that a seized movable furniture part from a plurality of further driven movable furniture parts, in the simultaneous movement of the picked out furniture part with at least one of the other furniture parts poses a potential danger.
- the configuration or assignment of driven movable furniture parts can be made in different ways. For each driven movable furniture part in each case at least one, driven movable furniture parts can be assigned, in particular all directly adjacent.
- a drawer driven by a plurality of adjacent drawers moves, above, below, right, left side or diagonally thereof or opposite or over-arranged adjacent movable drawer a pinching or
- the invention also relates to a piece of furniture with a stationary furniture part and driven furniture parts, in particular drawers, with a device as explained above.
- a device as explained above.
- the invention also relates to a method for configuring a device for influencing the movement of a plurality of movable furniture parts, which are driven by a drive unit via a control unit for controlling movement of the movable furniture parts relative to a fixed furniture part, in particular for configuring a device as described above.
- the central aspect of the method according to the invention lies in a configurable mode that can be switched on and off, whereby an assignment of a movable furniture part to another movable furniture part is carried out when the configuration mode is switched on and the configuration mode is switched off after the allocation has been made, taking into account the assignment for the movement control of the movable furniture parts becomes. In this way, in a defined predetermined configuration mode, an association of the movable furniture parts with one another can take place.
- the assignment or its change is preferred only in the configuration mode or when the configuration state is active movable furniture parts possible. After configuration, the configuration mode is exited, thus ensuring that no unwanted deletion of settings or reconfiguration can take place.
- FIG. 1 is a piece of furniture 1 with a fixed furniture part or a furniture body 2 and on this movably guided furniture drawers 3 with several drawers 4 to 14 shown.
- An outer drawer 11 can cover the front part 9a of an inner drawer 9 and the front part 10a of an inner drawer 10 with its front part 11a.

- the furniture body 2 also has inside the furniture body parallel to the side walls 2a, 2b extending inner walls 2e and 2f.
- the furniture drawers 3 can be inserted or extended according to the double arrow P relative to the furniture body 2.
- the drawers 4 to 9 and 12 to 14 are each in the closed position, whereas the inner drawer 10 is approximately half and the outer drawer 11 is completely open relative to the furniture body 2.
- the front of the furniture 1 with front parts of the furniture drawers 3 represent an operating page for the operation or use of furniture drawers 3 by a person.
- the arrangement of the drawers facing the front of the furniture 1 according to FIG. 1 consists of three columns each with several drawers positioned one above the other.
- the left column, seen from the front, comprises between the side wall 2b and the inner wall 2f the similar drawers 4 to 7 and the middle gaps between the inner walls 2e and 2f the drawers 8 to 11 and the right column between the inner wall 2e and the side wall 2a Drawers 12 to 14.
- each particular furniture thrust 4 to 14 relative to the furniture body 2 is a device, not shown, for example, according to one of the in the WO 2006/029894 A1 featured devices, provided for influencing the movement of the furniture drawers 3, wherein the driven movement takes place with a drive unit or a control unit for controlling movement of the furniture drawers 3. Also not shown are connecting lines or the like for supplying the device for influencing movement.
- the drawers 4 to 6 are provided at their drawer fronts each with a handle element 15 to 17 or the drawer 7 with an unrecognizable further handle element to manually grab the drawer in question and in particular to pull on the drawer. Therefore, it is basically possible that the drawers 4 to 7 are not driven by the drive unit but only manually operated are movable. It is also conceivable that the Drawers 4 to 7 are driven and manually movable, for example, to assist in their manually performed by a person movement with the drive unit, especially when opening.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 1 bzw. ein Möbel nach Anspruch 10 und ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 11.The invention relates to a device according to
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Vorrichtungen fĂ¼r die Beeinflussung der Bewegung von mehreren gegenĂ¼ber einem feststehenden Möbelteil bewegbaren Möbelteilen bekannt, wobei die bewegbaren Möbelteile mit Hilfe einer Antriebseinheit und einer Kontrolleinheit zur Bewegungskontrolle der bewegbaren Möbelteile angetrieben bewegbar sind. Ein Beispiel solcher Vorrichtung ist aus das Dokument
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, fĂ¼r eine Vorrichtung fĂ¼r die Bewegungsbeeinflussung von angetrieben bewegbaren Möbelteilen bzw. fĂ¼r entsprechende Möbel den Installations- bzw. Inbetriebnahmeaufwand vergleichsweise gering zu halten, wobei ein hoher Bedienkomfort und relevante Sicherheitsanforderungen erfĂ¼llt werden sollen.The object of the present invention is to keep the installation or commissioning effort comparatively low for a device for influencing the movement of driven movable furniture parts or for corresponding furniture, whereby a high degree of user comfort and relevant safety requirements are to be met.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die AnsprĂ¼che 1, 10 und 11 gelöst. In den abhängigen AnsprĂ¼chen sind vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung aufgezeigt.This object is solved by the
Die Erfindung geht zunächst aus von einer Vorrichtung fĂ¼r die Bewegungsbeeinflussung von mehreren bewegbaren Möbelteilen, die mittels einer Antriebseinheit Ă¼ber eine Kontrolleinheit zur Bewegungskontrolle der bewegbaren Möbelteile relativ zu einem feststehenden Möbelteil angetrieben bewegbar sind. Ein wesentlicher Aspekt der Erfindung liegt darin, dass die Kontrolleinheit derart ausgebildet ist, bei der gleichzeitigen angetriebenen Bewegung von zwei bewegbaren Möbelteilen die Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen den zwei bewegbaren Möbelteilen unter einem vorgegebenen Wert zu halten, der kleiner ist, als eine zwischen den zwei bewegbaren Möbelteilen maximal auftretende Relativgeschwindigkeit durch deren angetriebene Bewegung. Die Vorrichtung fĂ¼r die Bewegungsbeeinflussung von mehreren bewegbaren Möbelteilen kann je nach vorgenommener Grundkonfiguration eine angetriebene Bewegung von zwei oder mehr angetrieben bewegbaren Möbelteilen gleichzeitig ermöglichen. Dies kann zwar einerseits den Bedienkomfort erhöhen bzw. Zeitvorteile bringen, aber andererseits eine Verletzungs- bzw. Kollisionsgefahr heraufbeschwören. Insbesondere kann dabei ein Einklemm- oder Quetschrisiko durch das knappe aneinander Vorbeibewegen der bewegbaren Möbelteile auftreten, insbesondere bei zueinander benachbarten bewegbaren Möbelteilen. Diese Risiken können Ă¼ber die Kontrolleinheit ausgeschlossen bzw. minimiert werden.The invention is initially based on a device for influencing the movement of a plurality of movable furniture parts, which are driven by a drive unit via a control unit for controlling movement of the movable furniture parts relative to a fixed furniture part movable. An essential aspect of the invention is that the control unit is designed to keep the relative speed between the two movable furniture parts under a predetermined value, which is smaller than a maximum between the two movable furniture parts in the simultaneous driven movement of two movable furniture parts occurring relative speed by their driven movement. The device for influencing the movement of a plurality of movable furniture parts, depending on the basic configuration made a driven movement of two or more driven furniture movable parts simultaneously enable. On the one hand, this can increase the ease of use or bring about time advantages, but on the other hand can provoke a risk of injury or collision. In particular, a pinching or crushing risk can occur due to the brief movement of the movable furniture parts past one another, in particular in the case of movable furniture parts adjacent to one another. These risks can be eliminated or minimized via the control unit.
Mit der vorgeschlagenen Vorgehensweise können zudem hohe Sicherheitsstandards nach den gĂ¼ltigen Normen bzw. Richtlinien oder nach den Vorgaben von PrĂ¼fstellen (z.B. LGA) ohne Weiteres erfĂ¼llt werden.With the proposed procedure, high safety standards according to the valid standards or guidelines or according to the specifications of test centers (for example LGA) can be easily met.
Bewegen sich zwei Möbelteile in entgegengesetzter Richtung ergibt sich die Relativgeschwindigkeit aus der Addition der beiden Einzelgeschwindigkeiten, bzw. bei gleicher Bewegungsrichtung der beiden Möbelteile durch Subtraktion der beiden Einzelgeschwindigkeiten.If two pieces of furniture move in the opposite direction, the relative speed results from the addition of the two individual speeds, or, for the same direction of movement of the two furniture parts, by subtracting the two individual speeds.
Als bewegbare Möbelteile kommen zum Beispiel Schubladen, TĂ¼ren, Klappen, TablarauszĂ¼ge, Drahtkörbe, Apothekenschränke, Drehgestelle, Karusselle oder dergleichen in Frage, die insbesondere verschieblich bzw. fahrbar, drehbar und/oder schwenkbar am Möbel ausgebildet sind.For example, drawers, doors, flaps, pull-out trays, wire baskets, pharmacy cabinets, bogies, carousels or the like come into question as movable furniture parts, which are designed in particular displaceably or movably, rotatably and / or pivotably on the furniture.
Die Kontrolleinheit zur Bewegungskontrolle, die beispielsweise eine zentrale bzw. Ă¼bergeordnete Einheit ist oder aus mehreren Teileinheiten besteht, kann insbesondere eine Rechnereinheit bzw. eine Computereinheit umfassen. Mit der Kontrolleinheit kann mittels der Antriebseinheit das bewegbare Möbelteil aus einer Stillstand-Stellung in eine weitere Stillstand-Stellung zumindest Ă¼ber einen Teilweg angetrieben bewegt werden. Dabei wird das zu bewegende Möbelteil nach einer kurzen Anfangsbeschleunigung aus dem Stillstand häufig mit einer nahezu konstanten Geschwindigkeit angetrieben und vor Erreichen der nächsten Stillstand-Stellung entsprechend abgebremst. Die angetriebene Bewegung eines bewegbaren Möbelteils umfasst insbesondere daher im Wesentlichen eine kurze Beschleunigungs- bzw. Verzögerungsphase, insbesondere zu Beginn und Ende einer angetriebenen Bewegung, und dazwischen eine Bewegungsphase mit einer maximalen bzw. gleich bleibenden Geschwindigkeit.The control unit for movement control, which is, for example, a central or higher-level unit or consists of several sub-units, may in particular comprise a computer unit or a computer unit. By means of the drive unit, the movable furniture part can be moved by means of the drive unit from a standstill position into a further standstill position, at least over a partial path. In this case, the furniture to be moved after a brief initial acceleration of the Standstill often driven at a nearly constant speed and decelerated accordingly before reaching the next standstill position. In particular, the driven movement of a movable furniture part therefore essentially comprises a short acceleration or deceleration phase, in particular at the beginning and end of a driven movement, and in between a movement phase with a maximum or constant speed.
Werden nun zwei gleichzeitig angetrieben bewegte Möbelteile betrachtet, ist es vorteilhaft, die zwischen den beiden Möbelteilen auftretende Relativgeschwindigkeit so festzulegen, dass diese unterhalb eines gewĂ¼nschten Wertes bleibt bzw. gegebenenfalls maximal diesen Wert erreicht, was besonders effektiv mit der Kontrolleinheit erfolgen kann, die sämtliche maĂŸgeblichen BewegungsgrĂ¶ĂŸen bei der Bewegung der angetriebenen Möbelteile beeinflusst. Damit kann vorteilhafterweise erreicht werden, dass eine unerwĂ¼nscht hohe Relativgeschwindigkeit, die ein nicht akzeptables Gefährdungspotential insbesondere aufgrund der kinetischen Energie der bewegten Möbelteile darstellt, nicht auftritt. Ein andernfalls daraus resultierendes Gefährdungspotential fĂ¼r insbesondere eine Person im Nahbereich der betrachteten Möbelteile ist dadurch vermeidbar bzw. eine Verletzungsgefahr fĂ¼r eine Person beispielsweise durch Einklemmen oder Quetschen eines Körperteils, zum Beispiel des Arms, der Hand bzw. der Finger zwischen den beiden Möbelteilen ausgeschlossen.Now, if two simultaneously driven moving furniture parts considered, it is advantageous to set the occurring between the two furniture parts relative speed so that it remains below a desired value or optionally maximum reaches this value, which can be particularly effective with the control unit, the all relevant Movement variables influenced by the movement of the driven furniture parts. This can advantageously be achieved that an undesirably high relative speed, which represents an unacceptable risk potential, in particular due to the kinetic energy of the moving furniture parts, does not occur. An otherwise resulting risk potential for a particular person in the vicinity of the considered furniture parts is thereby avoidable or a risk of injury to a person, for example, by pinching or squeezing a body part, for example, the arm, the hand or the finger between the two furniture parts excluded.
Dies ist insbesondere fĂ¼r benachbarte oder sich gegenseitig annähernde bewegbare Möbelteile von Bedeutung. Die Relativgeschwindigkeit wird dazu fĂ¼r zwei gleichzeitig angetrieben bewegte Möbelteilen unter einem vorgebbaren Wert gehalten. Auch eine aufwändigere Kontrolle mit der Kontrolleinheit dahingehend, dass mehr als zwei Möbelteile gleichzeitig angetrieben bewegt werden und die Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen jeweils zwei der mehreren bewegten Möbelteile begrenzt wird, ist denkbar.This is particularly important for adjacent or mutually approaching movable furniture parts of importance. The relative speed is kept for a given value for two simultaneously driven moving furniture parts. Also a more complex control with the control unit to the effect that more than two furniture parts are driven simultaneously driven and the Relative speed between each two of the several moving furniture parts is limited, is conceivable.
Je nach Wunsch bzw. Gefährdungspotential durch die angetriebene Bewegung von zwei angetrieben bewegten Möbelteilen kann der vorgegebene Wert individuell festgelegt bzw. von der Kontrolleinheit kontrolliert werden. Um den vorgebbaren Wert zu erreichen kann insbesondere ein Abbremsvorgang mit entsprechenden Bremsmittel erfolgen. Auch kann durch Unterbinden bzw. Beenden der Antriebswirkung aufgrund von z.B. Reibverlusten die Reduzierung der Geschwindigkeit des bewegbaren Möbelteils ausreichend hoch sein.Depending on the desire or risk potential of the driven movement of two driven furniture parts moving the predetermined value can be set individually or controlled by the control unit. In order to achieve the predefinable value, in particular, a braking process with corresponding brake means can take place. Also, by inhibiting the driving effect due to e.g. Frictional losses reducing the speed of the movable furniture part be sufficiently high.
Weiter wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Kontrolleinheit so ausgebildet ist, bei der gleichzeitigen angetriebenen Bewegung von zwei bewegbaren Möbelteilen die Relativgeschwindigkeit zumindest so lange unter dem vorgebbaren Wert zu halten, wie Randabschnitte der zwei Möbelteile, insbesondere Frontpartien, sich in einem Nahbereich zueinander befinden. Mit dieser Anordnung wird dem Umstand Rechnung getragen, dass beispielsweise die angetriebene Bewegung von benachbarten bewegbaren Möbelteilen z.B. MöbelschĂ¼ben ein in der Praxis bedeutendes Unfallrisiko in sich birgt, indem eine Person, welche auf die Möbelteile z.B. SchĂ¼be zugreift oder an diesen hantiert, die Hand bzw. Finger zwischen Randabschnitte der Möbelteile einklemmen kann. Dabei können Teile der Hand bzw. Finger in einen sich beim Bewegen der Möbelteile veränderlichen Spaltbereich zwischen insbesondere Frontpartien der angetrieben bewegbaren Möbelteile kommen und Verletzungen zum Beispiel Quetschungen verursachen.Further, it is proposed that the control unit is designed to hold the relative speed at least as long under the predefinable value for the simultaneous driven movement of two movable furniture parts, such as edge portions of the two furniture parts, in particular front parts, are in a vicinity to each other. With this arrangement, the fact is taken into account that, for example, the driven movement of adjacent movable furniture parts, e.g. Furniture draws in practice a significant risk of accidents in itself by a person who on the furniture parts, for. SchĂ¼be accesses or handles on this, the hand or fingers between edge portions of the furniture parts can pinch. In this case, parts of the hand or fingers can come in a variable when moving the furniture parts gap region between in particular front parts of the driven furniture parts and cause injuries such as bruises.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die Kontrolleinheit ausgebildet, den vorgebbaren Wert der Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen den zwei sich gleichzeitig angetrieben bewegenden Möbelteilen auf eine Geschwindigkeit vorzugeben, die im Bereich einer maximal auftretenden Geschwindigkeit liegt, die durch die angetriebene Bewegung eines der zwei Möbelteile erreicht wird. In der Regel ist eine maximal auftretende Geschwindigkeit bei der angetriebenen Bewegung eines bewegbaren Möbelteils so gewählt, dass kein bzw. kein nennenswertes Gefährdungspotential daraus resultiert. Daher ist die so ausgelegte maximal auftretende Geschwindigkeit als Richtwert fĂ¼r eine maximal auftretende Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen zwei gleichzeitig angetrieben bewegenden Möbelteilen sinnvoll zu wählen. Damit kann auch die so eingegrenzte Relativgeschwindigkeit in der Regel kein wesentliches Verletzungspotential fĂ¼r eine Bedienperson darstellen.Advantageously, the control unit is formed, the predetermined value of the relative speed between the two simultaneously driven moving furniture parts to a Specify speed, which is in the range of a maximum occurring speed, which is achieved by the driven movement of one of the two furniture parts. In general, a maximum occurring speed in the driven movement of a movable furniture part is chosen so that no or no appreciable risk potential results from it. Therefore, the maximum speed thus designed is to be used as a guide for a maximum occurring relative speed between two simultaneously driven moving furniture parts meaningful. As a result, the relative velocity thus limited can generally not pose any significant potential for injury to an operator.
Bei zwei sich einzeln jeweils mit der gleichen maximalen Geschwindigkeit vmax angetrieben bewegenden Möbelteilen wäre dann der vorgegebene Wert der maximal erlaubten Relativgeschwindigkeit bei entgegengesetzter Bewegungsrichtung z.B. die maximale Einzelgeschwindigkeit vmax.In the case of two furniture parts driven individually, each with the same maximum speed v max , the predetermined value of the maximum permitted relative speed in the opposite direction of movement would then be, for example, the maximum individual speed v max .
Prinzipiell ist es natĂ¼rlich auch möglich, dass zwei angetrieben bewegbare Möbelteile mit unterschiedlichen maximalen Geschwindigkeiten von der Antriebseinheit bewegt werden. In einem solchen Fall ist fĂ¼r zwei betrachtete angetrieben bewegbare Möbelteile individuell eine vorgebbare Relativgeschwindigkeit, die nicht Ă¼berschritten werden darf, zu wählen, zum Beispiel die niedrigere maximal erreichbare Einzelgeschwindigkeit der beiden betreffenden Möbelteile.In principle, it is of course also possible that two driven movable furniture parts are moved at different maximum speeds of the drive unit. In such a case, a predeterminable relative speed, which may not be exceeded, is individually selected for two driven, movable furniture parts considered, for example the lower maximum achievable single speed of the two relevant furniture parts.
Weiter wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Kontrolleinheit derart ausgelegt ist, die zwei gleichzeitig sich angetrieben bewegenden Möbelteile in gleichem MaĂŸe abzubremsen, um die Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen den zwei Möbelteilen unter den vorgegebenen Wert zu bringen. Auf diese Weise kann der vorgegebene Wert der Relativgeschwindigkeit vergleichsweise schnell und sicher erreicht werden. Bevorzugt ist hierzu eine insbesondere von der Kontrolleinheit kontrollierte Abbremsung der angetrieben bewegbaren Möbelteile vorzusehen, beispielsweise mittels geeigneter Bremsmittel bzw. einer entsprechend ausgelegten Antriebseinheit. Die Bremsbewegung der Möbelteile kann beispielsweise linear oder nicht linear erfolgen.It is further proposed that the control unit is designed to decelerate the two simultaneously driven furniture parts to the same extent to bring the relative speed between the two furniture parts below the predetermined value. In this way, the predetermined value of the relative speed can be achieved comparatively quickly and safely. Preferred is this one in particular provided by the control unit controlled deceleration of the driven movable furniture parts, for example by means of suitable braking means or a suitably designed drive unit. The braking movement of the furniture parts can for example be linear or non-linear.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften AusfĂ¼hrungsform des Erfindungsgegenstandes ist die Kontrolleinheit ausgebildet, die zwei gleichzeitig sich angetrieben bewegenden Möbelteile unterschiedlich stark abzubremsen, um die Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen den zwei Möbelteilen unter den vorgegebenen Werten zu bringen. Damit lässt sich der Bedienkomfort verbessern bzw. eine Zeitersparnis zum Ă–ffnen bzw. SchlieĂŸen von bewegbaren Möbelteilen realisieren.In a further advantageous embodiment of the subject invention, the control unit is designed to decelerate the two simultaneously driven furniture parts differently strong, to bring the relative speed between the two furniture parts below the predetermined values. This can improve the ease of use or realize a time savings for opening or closing of movable furniture parts.
Die Kontrolleinheit kann insbesondere ausgebildet sein, bei der Bewegung von zwei gleichzeitig angetrieben bewegenden Möbelteilen, von denen ein Möbelteil in eine SchlieĂŸstellung bewegt und ein weiteres Möbelteil in eine geöffnete Stellung bewegt wird, das sich in die SchlieĂŸstellung bewegende Möbelteil stärker abzubremsen als das sich in die geöffnete Stellung bewegende Möbelteil, um die Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen den zwei Möbelteilen unter dem vorgegebenen Wert zu bringen. Damit kann eine Unsymmetrie der Abbremsvorgänge der bewegbaren Möbelteile bereit gestellt werden.In particular, the control unit may be designed to decelerate the furniture part moving in the closed position more strongly than when moving in the movement of two furniture parts moving simultaneously, one of which moves into a closed position and another furniture part is moved into an open position open position moving furniture part to bring the relative speed between the two furniture parts below the predetermined value. This can provide an asymmetry of the deceleration processes of the movable furniture parts.
Des Weiteren ist es von Vorteil, dass die Kontrolleinheit derart ausgebildet ist, bei der gleichzeitigen angetriebenen Bewegung der zwei Möbelteile nach einer Bewegungsphase der beiden Möbelteile, in welcher die Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen den zwei Möbelteilen unter dem vorgebbaren Wert gehalten wurde, zumindest ein Möbelteil der zwei Möbelteile angetrieben zu beschleunigen. Damit lassen sich unterschiedliche bzw. auch relativ komplexe Bewegungsmuster fĂ¼r die angetrieben bewegbare Möbelteile einstellen.Furthermore, it is advantageous that the control unit is designed in such a way, in the simultaneous driven movement of the two furniture parts after a phase of movement of the two furniture parts, in which the relative speed between the two furniture parts was kept below the predetermined value, at least one furniture part of the two furniture parts driven to accelerate. This allows different or relatively complex movement patterns for the driven movable furniture parts set.
Insbesondere kann individuell an KundenwĂ¼nsche angepasst eine angestrebte hohe Bedienfreundlichkeit realisiert werden.In particular, individually tailored to customer requirements, a desired high level of user-friendliness can be realized.
Zum Beispiel kann in einer Bewegungsphase, in welcher zumindest ein bewegbares Möbelteile abgebremst wurde, dessen Geschwindigkeit erhöht werden, um eine gewĂ¼nschte maximale Antriebsgeschwindigkeit bzw. die Geschwindigkeit vor dem Abbremsen wieder zu erreichen. Mit dieser Vorgehensweise können gleichzeitige Ă–ffnungs- bzw. SchlieĂŸbewegungen von angetrieben bewegbaren Möbelteilen vergleichsweise schnell ablaufen ohne Sicherheitsvorgaben ignorieren zu mĂ¼ssen. Insbesondere wird nur fĂ¼r bestimmte Bewegungsphasen der bewegten Möbelteile der vorgegebene Relativgeschwindigkeitswert eingeregelt.For example, in a movement phase in which at least one movable furniture part has been braked, its speed can be increased to reach a desired maximum drive speed and the speed before braking, respectively. With this approach, simultaneous opening and closing movements of driven furniture parts can be done relatively quickly without having to ignore safety requirements. In particular, the predetermined relative speed value is adjusted only for certain movement phases of the moving furniture parts.
Grundsätzlich können auch beide angetrieben bewegbaren Möbelteile, wenn beide zuvor abgebremst wurden, um den vorgegebenen Wert zu erreichen, wieder beschleunigt werden.In principle, both driven movable furniture parts, if both were previously braked to achieve the predetermined value, can be accelerated again.
AuĂŸerdem wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Kontrolleinheit so ausgelegt ist, bei der gleichzeitigen angetriebenen Bewegung der zwei Möbelteile nach einer Bewegungsphase der beiden Möbelteile, in welcher die Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen den zwei Möbelteilen unter dem vorgebbaren Wert gehalten wurde, zumindest ein Möbelteil der zwei Möbelteile mit gleich bleibender Geschwindigkeit angetrieben zu bewegen. Dies ermöglicht ein ökonomisches Vorgehen bei der Bewegung der beiden gleichzeitig bewegten Möbelteile. Beispielsweise kann es von Vorteil sein, eines der Möbelteile oder auch beide Möbelteile nach der Bewegungsphase, in welcher die Möbelteile insbesondere abgebremst wurden, mit der dann erreichten Antriebsgeschwindigkeit weiter zu bewegen. Vorzugsweise kann dies bei dem sich schlieĂŸenden Möbelteil von Interesse sein. Beispielsweise kann so ein ruhiger Bewegungsverlauf bzw. nicht ruckartiger Ablauf der angetriebenen Bewegungen der Möbelteile erzielt werden, was häufig als angenehm empfunden wird.In addition, it is proposed that the control unit is designed in the simultaneous driven movement of the two furniture parts after a phase of movement of the two furniture parts, in which the relative speed between the two furniture parts was kept below the predetermined value, at least one furniture part of the two furniture parts with the same Speed driven to move. This allows an economic approach to the movement of the two moving furniture parts simultaneously. For example, it may be advantageous to move one of the furniture parts or both furniture parts after the movement phase, in which the furniture parts were braked in particular, with the then reached drive speed on. This may preferably be of interest in the closing furniture part. For example, as a quiet course of movement or not jerky expiration of the driven movements of the furniture parts can be achieved, which is often perceived as pleasant becomes.
AuĂŸerdem wird bei einer ggf. ansonsten realisierten Beschleunigung der Energiebedarf bzw. der VerschleiĂŸ fĂ¼r die angetriebene Bewegung positiv beeinflusst.In addition, the energy requirement or the wear for the driven movement is positively influenced in an otherwise possibly realized acceleration.
In einer Ă¼berdies bevorzugten AusfĂ¼hrungsform des Erfindungsgegenstandes ist die Kontrolleinheit ausgebildet, fĂ¼r eine Festlegung der zwei Möbelteile einem ersten angetrieben bewegbaren Möbelteil wenigstens ein weiteres angetrieben bewegbares Möbelteil zuzuordnen, wenn durch die gleichzeitige angetriebene Bewegung des ersten Möbelteils und dem wenigstens einen weiteren Möbelteil ein unerwĂ¼nschter Zustand auftreten kann. Mit dieser Ausgestaltung wird dem Umstand Rechnung getragen, dass zu einem herausgegriffenen bewegbaren Möbelteil aus einer Mehrzahl von weiteren angetrieben bewegbaren Möbelteilen, bei der gleichzeitigen Bewegung des herausgegriffenen Möbelteils mit zumindest einem der weiteren Möbelteile ein Gefahrenpotenzial ausgeht. Um die entsprechenden Möbelteile bei deren gleichzeitiger Bewegung wie vorgeschlagen unter einem vorgegebenen Wert der Relativgeschwindigkeit zu halten, ist es deshalb notwendig vorher die betreffenden bewegbaren Möbelteile zu definieren bzw. einander zuzuordnen. Dies kann beispielsweise in einem speziellen Konfiguriervorgang erfolgen. Die Konfigurierung bzw. Zuordnung von angetrieben bewegbaren Möbelteilen kann auf unterschiedliche Weise vorgenommen werden. Zu jedem angetrieben bewegbaren Möbelteil kann jeweils wenigstens ein, angetrieben bewegbares Möbelteile zugeordnet werden, insbesondere alle direkt benachbarten.In a further preferred embodiment of the subject invention, the control unit is designed to assign a first driven movable furniture part at least one further driven movable furniture part for fixing the two furniture parts when an undesirable condition occur by the simultaneous driven movement of the first furniture part and the at least one further furniture part can. With this embodiment, the fact is taken into account that a seized movable furniture part from a plurality of further driven movable furniture parts, in the simultaneous movement of the picked out furniture part with at least one of the other furniture parts poses a potential danger. In order to keep the corresponding furniture parts in their simultaneous movement as proposed below a predetermined value of the relative speed, it is therefore necessary to previously define the respective movable furniture parts or assign each other. This can be done for example in a special configuration process. The configuration or assignment of driven movable furniture parts can be made in different ways. For each driven movable furniture part in each case at least one, driven movable furniture parts can be assigned, in particular all directly adjacent.
Wird beispielsweise aus einer Mehrzahl benachbarter Schubladen eine Schublade angetrieben bewegt, kann eine oberhalb, unterhalb, rechts, links seitlich oder diagonal davon bzw. gegenĂ¼berliegende oder Ă¼bereck angeordnete benachbarte bewegbare Schublade eine Einklemm- bzw.If, for example, a drawer driven by a plurality of adjacent drawers moves, above, below, right, left side or diagonally thereof or opposite or over-arranged adjacent movable drawer a pinching or
Einquetschgefahr begrĂ¼nden. Dies muss in der Konfiguration beachtet bzw. festgelegt werden, dass zumindest wenn Randabschnitte der beiden angetrieben bewegbaren Möbelteile in einem Nahbereich zueinander sind, die Relativgeschwindigkeit der beiden betrachteten bewegten Möbelteile unter dem vorgegebenen Wert bleibt. Ăœbergeordnet zu dieser Vorgabe wird sinnvoller Weise festgelegt, dass eine Kollision von zwei bewegbaren Möbelteilen sicher nicht stattfinden kann.Risk of crushing. This must be noted or determined in the configuration that at least when edge portions of the two driven movable furniture parts are in close proximity to each other, the relative speed of the two considered moving furniture parts remains below the predetermined value. Superordinate to this specification, it is sensibly determined that a collision of two movable furniture parts certainly can not take place.
Die Erfindung betrifft auĂŸerdem ein Möbel mit einem feststehenden Möbelteil und angetrieben bewegbaren Möbelteilen, insbesondere Schubladen, mit einer Vorrichtung wie oben erläutert. Damit lassen sich die aufgezeigten Vorteile fĂ¼r ein entsprechendes Möbelteil verwirklichen.The invention also relates to a piece of furniture with a stationary furniture part and driven furniture parts, in particular drawers, with a device as explained above. Thus, the advantages shown for a corresponding furniture part can be realized.
SchlieĂŸlich betrifft die Erfindung auĂŸerdem ein Verfahren zur Konfigurierung einer Vorrichtung fĂ¼r die Bewegungsbeeinflussung von mehreren bewegbaren Möbelteilen, die mittels einer Antriebseinheit Ă¼ber eine Kontrolleinheit zur Bewegungskontrolle der bewegbaren Möbelteile relativ zu einem feststehenden Möbelteil angetrieben bewegbar sind, insbesondere zur Konfigurierung einer wie oben beschriebenen Vorrichtung. Zentraler Aspekt des erfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸen Verfahren liegt in einem ein- und ausschaltbaren Konfiguriermodus, wobei bei eingeschaltetem Konfiguriermodus eine Zuordnung eines bewegbaren Möbelteils zu einem weiteren bewegbaren Möbelteil durchgefĂ¼hrt wird und nach erfolgter Zuordnung der Konfiguriermodus ausgeschaltet wird, wobei fĂ¼r die Bewegungskontrolle der bewegbaren Möbelteile die erfolgte Zuordnung berĂ¼cksichtigt wird. Damit kann in einem definiert vorgegebenen Konfiguriermodus eine Zuordnung der bewegbaren Möbelteile untereinander erfolgen.Finally, the invention also relates to a method for configuring a device for influencing the movement of a plurality of movable furniture parts, which are driven by a drive unit via a control unit for controlling movement of the movable furniture parts relative to a fixed furniture part, in particular for configuring a device as described above. The central aspect of the method according to the invention lies in a configurable mode that can be switched on and off, whereby an assignment of a movable furniture part to another movable furniture part is carried out when the configuration mode is switched on and the configuration mode is switched off after the allocation has been made, taking into account the assignment for the movement control of the movable furniture parts becomes. In this way, in a defined predetermined configuration mode, an association of the movable furniture parts with one another can take place.
Bevorzugt ist nur im Konfiguriermodus bzw. bei aktivem Konfigurierzustand die Zuordnung bzw. deren Änderung von bewegbaren Möbelteilen möglich. Nach der Konfigurierung wird der Konfiguriermodus verlassen, womit sichergestellt ist, dass keine ungewollte Löschung von Einstellungen oder eine Umkonfigurierung stattfinden kann.The assignment or its change is preferred only in the configuration mode or when the configuration state is active movable furniture parts possible. After configuration, the configuration mode is exited, thus ensuring that no unwanted deletion of settings or reconfiguration can take place.

Im Möbelkorpus 2 sind Ă¼ber nicht dargestellte AuszugsfĂ¼hrungen die MöbelschĂ¼be 3 an den Seitenwänden 2a, 2b bzw. den Innenwänden 2e, 2f verfahrbar aufgenommen, zum Beispiel Ă¼ber bekannte VollauszĂ¼ge. Die MöbelschĂ¼be 3 können gemĂ¤ĂŸ dem Doppelpfeil P relativ zum Möbelkorpus 2 eingeschoben bzw. ausgefahren werden. Die Schubladen 4 bis 9 und 12 bis 14 befinden sich jeweils in SchlieĂŸposition, wohingegen die Innenschublade 10 in etwa halb bzw. die AuĂŸenschublade 11 ganz geöffnet gegenĂ¼ber dem Möbelkorpus 2 ist.In the furniture body 2 are not shown drawer guides the

Zur angetriebenen Bewegung insbesondere jedes Möbelschubs 4 bis 14 relativ zum Möbelkorpus 2 ist eine nicht dargestellte Vorrichtung, zum Beispiel entsprechend einer der in der
Die Schubladen 4 bis 6 sind an ihren Schubladenfronten jeweils mit einem Griffelement 15 bis 17 bzw. die Schublade 7 mit einem nicht erkennbaren weiteren Griffelement versehen, um die betreffende Schublade manuell zu greifen und insbesondere an der Schublade zu ziehen. Daher ist es grundsätzlich möglich, dass die Schubladen 4 bis 7 nicht mit der Antriebseinheit angetrieben sondern lediglich manuell betätigt bewegbar sind. Es ist auch denkbar, dass die Schubladen 4 bis 7 angetrieben und manuell bewegbar sind, um z.B. bei deren manuell von einer Person ausgefĂ¼hrten Bewegung diese mit der Antriebseinheit zu unterstĂ¼tzen, insbesondere beim Ă–ffnen.The drawers 4 to 6 are provided at their drawer fronts each with a
Die anderen Schubladen sind insbesondere mit der Antriebseinheit bewegbar, wobei es denkbar ist, dass eine angetrieben bewegbare Schublade mit oder ohne UnterstĂ¼tzung durch die Antriebseinheit manuell bewegt werden kann. Beispielsweise können die Schubladen 4 bis 7 an den Griffelementen manuell aufgezogen werden, wobei die Antriebseinheit insbesondere als UnterstĂ¼tzung fĂ¼r den Benutzer eine Antriebswirkung aufbringt. Die Antriebseinheit kann vielfältig ausgestaltet sein und mit elektrischen Mitteln z.B. mit Hilfe eines Elektromotors oder nicht elektrisch mit mechanischen Mitteln arbeiten bzw. mit einer Kombination aus diesen Mitteln funktionieren. Die Ă–ffnungs- und/oder SchlieĂŸbewegung kann ganz oder teilweise angetrieben erfolgen, z.B. wenn AusstoĂŸmittel zum AusstoĂŸen des bewegbaren Möbelteils aus einer SchlieĂŸstellung in eine zumindest teilweise geöffnete Stellung vorgesehen sind.The other drawers are movable in particular with the drive unit, and it is conceivable that a driven movable drawer can be moved manually with or without assistance from the drive unit. For example, the drawers 4 to 7 can be manually mounted on the handle elements, wherein the drive unit in particular as a support for the user applies a drive effect. The drive unit can be designed in many ways and can be connected to electrical means, e.g. work with the help of an electric motor or not electrically by mechanical means or work with a combination of these means. The opening and / or closing movement can be wholly or partially driven, e.g. when ejection means are provided for ejecting the movable furniture part from a closed position to an at least partially open position.
Beim Möbel 1 liegt die Bedienebene, die insbesondere durch die geschlossenen Schubladenfronten gebildet wird, idealer Weise in einer Ebene, es sind aber erfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸ auch Möbel umfasst, deren Bedienseiten bzw. die Frontseiten der geschlossenen bewegbaren Möbelteile in zwei oder mehr unterschiedlichen Ebenen liegen, zum Beispiel bei Ăœbereck- oder GegenĂ¼ber-Anordnungen. Auch Anordnungen mit Faltklappen oder -tĂ¼ren sind davon umfasst, die Ă¼bereinander positioniert sind, z.B. in einem Ober- und einem Unterschrank, wobei zumindest eine Faltklappe oder -tĂ¼re nach oben und eine andere nach unten bewegbar sind. Bei derartigen Bewegungen kann erfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸ ein auftretendes Einklemmrisiko vermieden werden.In the case of the
Die Schubladen 8 bis 14 sind an ihren Frontpartien 8a bis 14a ohne Kontur bzw. ohne ein Griffelement oder eine sonstige Hilfe zum Ziehen an dem betreffenden Möbelteil ausgestattet. Die Schubladen 4 bis 14 können mit oder ohne z.B. insbesondere AusstoĂŸer- bzw. Touch-Latch-Funktionalität versehen sein. Die Schubladen 8 bis 14 lassen sich zum Beispiel durch Antippen auf die Frontseite einer Schublade auslösen bzw. öffnen oder schlieĂŸen.The drawers 8 to 14 are provided at their
Zur Vermeidung von unerwĂ¼nschten Zuständen bei dem Möbelteil 1 bzw. um eine mögliche Einklemm-, Einquetschgefahr bzw. Kollisionsgefahr fĂ¼r eine Person durch sich angetrieben bewegende Schubladen auszuschlieĂŸen, ist die nicht dargestellte Kontrolleinheit bzw. mit dieser zusammenarbeitende Elemente so ausgebildet, bei der gleichzeitig stattfindenden angetriebenen Bewegung von zwei bewegbaren Schubladen der MöbelschĂ¼be 3 die Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen den zwei bewegbaren Schubläden unter einem vorgegebenen Wert zu halten, der kleiner ist, als eine zwischen den zwei bewegbaren Schubladen maximal auftretende Relativgeschwindigkeit durch deren angetriebene Bewegung.To avoid unwanted conditions in the
In der Praxis relevant sind insbesondere die Fälle, in denen zwei einander zugeordnete Schubladen, insbesondere benachbarte Schubladen, gleichzeitig in entgegengesetzter Richtung angetrieben bewegt werden. Das kann insbesondere sein, wenn eine Schublade aus einer geöffneten Position geschlossen wird und zur selben Zeit eine zugeordnete bzw. direkt benachbarte Schublade aus einer geschlossenen Position geöffnet wird und die beiden Schubladen dabei aneinander vorbeifahren. Dies könnte auch fĂ¼r Schubladen gelten, bei denen dabei keine Kollision der beiden Möbelteile stattfinden kann.Particularly relevant in practice are the cases in which two drawers associated with one another, in particular adjacent drawers, are simultaneously driven in the opposite direction. This may in particular be when a drawer is closed from an open position and at the same time an associated or directly adjacent drawer is opened from a closed position and the two drawers pass each other. This could also apply to drawers in which no collision of the two furniture parts can take place.
Bewegungszustände bei denen eine Kollision von zwei gleichzeitig bewegbaren Möbelteilen auftreten könnte, sind durch die Kontrolleinheit von vorneherein insbesondere durch Ă¼bergeordnete abgelegte Kontrollmechanismen ausgeschlossen. Im Beispiel gemĂ¤ĂŸ
Bei dem Möbel 1 können beispielsweise der Schublade 8 alle anderen Schubladen 4 bis 7 und 9 bis 14 oder die Schubladen 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12 und 13 zugeordnet sein. So kann z.B. fĂ¼r den letzteren Fall eine kritische Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen der angetrieben bewegten Schublade 8 und zumindest einer weiteren gleichzeitig angetrieben bewegten Schublade von den Schubladen 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12 und 13 vermieden werde, indem bei deren aneinander Vorbeibewegen die Relativgeschwindigkeit auf den vorgegebenen Grenzwert begrenzt wird, die betreffenden Schubladen also vergleichsweise langsam aneinander vorbeifahren. Eine Einklemm- oder Quetschgefahr insbesondere zwischen der bewegenden Frontpartie 8a und zumindest einer der Frontpartien 9a, 11a, 12a und 13a bzw. der Schubladen 4, 5 und 6 kann ausgeschlossen werden.In the case of the
In diesem Fall können die restlichen Schubladen des Möbelkorpus 1, also die Schubladen 7, 10 und 14 gleichzeitig mit der angetrieben bewegten Schublade 8 bewegt werden, ohne dass eine vorgegebener Wert der Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen der betreffenden Schublade und der Schublade 8 einzuhalten ist.In this case, the remaining drawers of the
Eine intelligente Lösung kann z.B. fĂ¼r jede einzelne Schublade eine Gruppe zugeordneter Schubladen definieren, was ebenfalls in der Kontrolleinheit abgespeichert sein kann. FĂ¼r die AuĂŸenschublade 11 beispielsweise, fĂ¼r welche wie oben erläutert Kontrollmechanismen zur Vermeidung von Kollisionen mit den Schubladen 9 und 10 gĂ¼ltig sind, könnte zusätzlich zum Beispiel die Schubladen 5, 6, 7, 8, 13 und 14 zugeordnet werden.For example, an intelligent solution can define a group of assigned drawers for each individual drawer, which can also be stored in the control unit. For the
Grundsätzlich kann die Kontrolleinheit so ausgestaltet sein, dass auch bewegbare Möbelteile von anderen feststehenden Möbelkorpussen in der Zuordnung fĂ¼r ein betrachtetes angetrieben bewegbares Möbelteil berĂ¼cksichtigt wird, also auch gegenĂ¼berliegende, Ă¼bereinander liegende oder Ă¼bereck angeordnete Möbelteile wie Schubladen, Klappen oder TĂ¼ren.Basically, the control unit can be designed so that even movable furniture parts of other fixed furniture carcasses in the assignment for a considered driven movable furniture part is taken into account, including opposite, superimposed or over-arranged furniture parts such as drawers, flaps or doors.
Das AusfĂ¼hrungsbeispiel gemĂ¤ĂŸ
Auch hier gilt, dass Ă¼bergeordnet Kontrollmechanismen ggf. gĂ¼ltig sind, um Kollisionen zu vermeiden, also Relativgeschwindigkeiten fĂ¼r diese Möbelteile nicht oder nur Ă¼ber eingegrenzte erlaubte Bewegungsphasen der gesamten möglichen Bewegung zu definieren sind.Here too, superordinate control mechanisms are possibly valid in order to avoid collisions, that is to say that relative velocities for these furniture parts are not or only to be defined via limited permissible movement phases of the entire possible movement.
