Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a drive device for movable furniture parts, in particular drawers, with an ejector, by means of which a movable furniture part is movable from a closed position to an at least partially open position, and at least one sensor by means of which a movement of the ejector can be triggered.
  • the publication WO 2006/017863 relates to a drive device for a movable furniture part with an ejection device, which can be activated via a switch.
  • the switch is designed in two parts, with a designed as a control element first part, which is arranged on a front panel of a movable furniture part, and a second part, which is arranged on the furniture body. Manual actuation of the first part is transmitted mechanically or by radio to the second part of the switch. It is therefore a movable relative to the furniture part control required, which is often undesirable for structural and design reasons.
  • the publication EP 1 323 364 A1 shows a drive device for a movable furniture part.
  • tact switches are provided, which are both arranged on a handle of the movable furniture part, for example.
  • the push-buttons are positioned so that the actuating movement takes place in the direction of the desired movement of the furniture part.
  • the handle or a front panel of the movable furniture part is designed as an operating element of the pushbutton switch, so that a corresponding pulling or pushing movement on this part actuates the pushbutton switch.
  • a control element that is movable relative to the furniture part is therefore necessary for activating the drive device.
  • the AT 2004 01379 A5 shows a piece of furniture with an ejector having a lever with a contact switch. Upon reaching a certain position of the lever, the contact switch can trigger and eject the movable furniture part away from the furniture body.
  • the setting and determination of the switching point is relatively difficult and it can easily lead to incorrect operation.
  • the at least one sensor comprises a pushbutton resting against the movable furniture part, at least in the closed position, whereby pulses are transmitted via the sensor during a movement of the pushbutton over a predetermined path be generated and the movement of the furniture part to trigger the ejector by counting the pulses can be detected via the button.
  • the function of detecting the position or a movement of the furniture part is decoupled from the mechanical function of Ausbies of the furniture part so far that both components so the sensor and the ejector, can be mounted separately. Thereby, and by detecting the movement over a predetermined distance is avoided that a previously defined switching point is present, which requires a particularly accurate adjustment of the position of the ejector relative to the movable furniture part. Rather, the sensor can take over a certain tolerance compensation and positioning is independent of this. For triggering the ejector, it is thus not necessary to detect an exact position (switching point) of the movable furniture part. Ejecting is to be done when a user has deliberately moved the movable furniture part in one direction or the other. Then this can be signaled by the sensor to trigger the ejector. However, the detection of a movement is not necessarily bound to the detection or consideration of an exact position of the furniture part.
  • the movable furniture part is resiliently held in the closed position and movable for triggering the ejector both in the furniture body in and out.
  • the triggering of the ejector by the user can be made intuitively, since the furniture part can both be pressed in and pulled out to trigger the drive of the ejector. It is of course also possible to make a triggering of the ejector only when the movable furniture part is pressed in, for example, if no handle element is present.
  • the button is preferably resiliently against the movable furniture part. As a result, before the closed position of the button movement with the movable Execute furniture part and then detect its movement through the sensor coupled to the button.
  • an optical sensor for detecting the movement of the probe is provided.
  • the sensor can have at least one grid foil which can be moved relative to a light barrier, so that pulses can be converted to control signals by moving the grid foil.
  • the push-button is connected to a rack by means of which a grid plate arranged on a light barrier is rotatable.
  • the senor and the ejector are arranged on a rear wall of the furniture body and the ejector comprises a pivotable lever.
  • the ejection of the movable furniture part can be done by other drive means, for example by an electric drive, spring elements or other drive means which are suitable for actuating the movable furniture part.
  • the ejector with the pivotable lever has the advantage that it can be compactly positioned on a rear wall of the furniture body.
  • the probe of the sensor is arranged off-center on a rear wall of a drawer. Because when you operate the drawer sideways on a front panel, it may be that the drawer is rotated and then takes place with central arrangement of the button no triggering. In this respect, it is advantageous if the button is not arranged in a central region of the drawer. Also, two spaced-apart sensors can be arranged adjacent to the movable furniture part, for example, when particularly wide drawers to be moved over the drive means.
  • a piece of furniture 1 comprises a box-shaped furniture body 2, on which one or more drawers 3 are held displaceably.
  • drawers 4 are provided laterally on the drawers, which are fixed to the respective side of the furniture body 2.
  • a drive device Adjacent to a rear wall 5 of the drawer 3, a drive device according to the invention is provided which comprises an ejector 6 and a sensor 7.
  • the sensor 7 is mounted on a rear wall 8 of the furniture body 2, while the ejector 6 is held on a vertical bar 9, on the electrical lines are led to the power supply.
  • the strip 9 is coupled to a horizontal bar 10, which can also serve for power supply.
  • a slightly open position of the drawer 3 is shown.
  • a rearwardly projecting pin 11 is provided, which contains markings or openings, which cooperate with an optical sensor 7.
  • the sensor 7 comprises a housing 12, on which a light barrier 13 is provided.
  • pulses are output to a controller, so that it can be detected whether the drawer 3 is moving or not.
  • a position detection of the drawer 3 can take place.
  • the pin 11 When closing the drawer, the pin 11 is moved back into the light barrier 13, which then detects a movement of the drawer 3 and then determines a rest position when no more pulses are generated by movement of the pin 11. Only with a renewed movement of the pin 11, the ejector 6 can then be triggered.
  • a controller decides according to specifiable criteria, whether a detected movement should also lead to the triggering.
  • a movement occurring when closing the drawer 3 should not trigger. This recognizes the control of the fact that previously took a voluntary movement, which had an ejection by the drive result. A subsequently detected retraction movement thus does not trigger a new ejection out. Only the next detected movement, which meets certain criteria (number of impulses, time, etc), triggers the ejector 6 again.
  • FIG. 4 a modified embodiment of a piece of furniture is shown, in which the same components are provided with the same reference numerals.
  • a modified sensor 7 ' is provided on the rear wall 8, which is arranged on the other side of the ejector 6. This illustrates that ejector 6 and sensor 7 'can be positioned independently of each other. It is only necessary that the control pulses are passed through the sensor 7 or 7 'to the control of the ejector 6.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 an embodiment is shown in which a movable drawer 3 can be moved via an ejector 6 in an open position, wherein for detecting the position of a sensor 7 'is provided, not directly to the drawer 3 but attached to a bottom 18 of the drawer bar 17 attacks.
  • a movement of the drawer 3 can also be detected with the sensor 7 '.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 an embodiment is shown in which only the sensor 7 'is shown, which is provided adjacent to a rear wall 5 of a drawer 3.
  • the sensor 7 comprises the housing 20, on which a button 21 is movably mounted.
  • the button 21 is connected to a rack 22 which is held by a spring 23 on the housing 20.
  • a rear wall 5 of a drawer 3 is moved to the closed position, it presses on the button 21 and the spring 23, so that the rack 22 is moved together with the drawer 3.
  • a toothing 24 of the rack 22 is in engagement with a gear 25 which is coupled to a grid plate 26.
  • a movement of the rack 22 can be detected via a light barrier 28.
  • the light barrier 28 then outputs the detected pulses via lines to a controller, wherein a channel 29 is formed on the housing 20 for the lines.
  • the sensor 7 ' may have on the housing 20 laterally projecting flanges 30 for easy installation. This is done via the resilient mounting of the rack 22 automatically a certain tolerance compensation, as over the travel of the rack 22, an end position of the drawer 3 can be detected, however, can be arranged in a certain range of the travel and not tuned to a specific switching point. In addition, by the translation of the movement by a gear 25 and a grid plate 26, the resolution can be kept very fine, so that even small movements of the drawer 3 can be detected and initiate the triggering.
  • FIG. 12 a further embodiment of a sensor 7 is shown schematically, in which a light barrier 70 is provided, which is arranged U-shaped around two grid films 71 and 74, wherein the grid film 71 dark stripes 72 and light-transmitting strips 73, while the grid film 74 bright stripes 75 and dark stripes 76 has.
  • a light barrier 70 By moving the screen films 71 and 74 relative to one another, pulses are generated at the light barrier 70 which can detect a movement of the screen film and a probe 11 or 21 connected thereto. It is also possible, instead of the two screen films 71 and 74, to move only one screen film through the light barrier 70.
  • optical sensors 7, 7 ' are used for detecting a movement of the drawer.
  • magnetic sensors or other sensors for detecting the movement or a position of the drawer. If a position detection is to take place, this can be done simply by counting the pulses.
