Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for acoustic signal generation in a piece of furniture with an electromechanical drive device according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a method for acoustic signal generation using a device for acoustic signal generation in a piece of furniture according to the preamble of claim 11.
  • EP 1323363 shows an electromechanical drive of a furniture part, the drive helps the user in the operation of the furniture part.
  • speakers or piezo buzzer are used, for example, in electronic devices.
  • a disadvantage of the use of such components is that they claim additional space in the furniture and cause further costs.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a space-saving and cost-effective device and a device using this simple and inexpensive method for generating an acoustic signal in a piece of furniture with an electromechanical drive device.
  • the device according to the invention uses only components that are already available for other purposes and on additional noise-generating components omitted, this is extremely space-saving and very cost-effective.
  • control of the electric motor is varied, so that no appreciable additional costs are incurred here.
  • the function called up by the user can be acoustically acknowledged, an error occurred, the correct final state or location of the furniture part or even a low battery condition of a non-mains powered device.
  • top, bottom, left, right, front, back, etc. refer exclusively to the example representation and position of the device components selected in the respective figures. These terms are not meant to be limiting, i. in different working positions or by mirror-symmetrical design or the like, these references may change.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows an inventive device for acoustic signal generation in a furniture 1 with a furniture body 11, a relative to the furniture body 11 movable furniture part 2, and an electromechanical drive device 3, which has a controlled by a control device 7 electric drive 5 and preferably also a transmission device 4 , The rotational movements of the electric drive 5 is converted either directly or preferably via the transmission device 4 in translational movements.
  • the electromechanical drive device 3 drives the movable furniture part 2 preferably from a rear side 8 of the movable furniture part 2 and is preferably arranged in the region of a rear or side wall of the furniture carcass 11.
  • the electric drive is preferably designed as an electric motor.
  • the movable furniture part is designed as a door or flap. This is supported by pivotal arrangements such as hinges on the furniture body 11 and by means of the gear means on a side edge on which the pivoting means are arranged or the side edge with the pivoting means opposite, from the inside out of the furniture carcass 11 at least a little bitShlingerbar.
  • the movable furniture part is designed as a drawer.
  • the furniture part 2 is mounted on a pull-out on the furniture body 11 of the furniture 1 and extendable.
  • an operating device 6 for inputting operating information is arranged on the front side 9 of the furniture part 2, which is electrically connected to the control device 7.
  • a trigger for an electromechanical ejection device for the furniture part 2 is included, via which a user controls whether the furniture part 2 is to be ejected.
  • the furniture part 2 without control device on the front side 9 is formed.
  • the trigger is arranged directly on the ejection device in this embodiment and is activated by pressure on the furniture part 2. If the furniture part 2 is pushed out of the furniture carcass 11, this information is passed on from the trigger to the control device 7 controlling the drive device 3.
  • the control device 7 is thereby switched so that it starts the electric drive 5 so that it rotates in a certain direction for a certain period of time. This rotation is converted by the coupled to the electric drive 5 gear device 4 and coupled to the transmission mechanism in a translational movement in a certain direction x, which corresponds to the ejection direction of the furniture part 2 from the furniture body 11 out and coupled to the transmission device 4 Furniture part 2 from the furniture body 11 at least a bit protrudes.
  • the control device 7 is also suitable to control the electric drive 5 to generate an acoustic signal.
  • the electric drive 5 is additionally usable in this arrangement, in addition to the above-described drive of the furniture part 2 to produce acoustic signals that serve for example for the acoustic reproduction of certain positions of the furniture part 2 or for reporting errors in the functional sequence.
  • the electric drive 5 is suitably controlled to generate an acoustic signal, so that the directly coupled to him transmission device 4 and preferably also indirectly coupled to him via the transmission device 4 drawer 2 and attached to this furniture body 11 in vibrations be offset.
  • the body of the electric drive 5 itself can form a sound box for generating an acoustic signal.
  • the electric drive 5 uses the components coupled with it as a resonance body for generating an acoustic signal.
  • the electric drive 5 is operated clockwise during the first half period of the sound to be generated and clockwise during the second half period of the sound to be generated, or vice versa.
  • the electric drive 5 takes place here during the short pulses due to the inertia only a minimal movement that is not detectable from the outside.
  • the individual movements generated in this way in the respective direction of rotation compensate each other in the sum.
  • the electric drive 5 is in Quasistillstand.
  • This stepwise driving back and forth of the electric drive 5 causes an acoustic excitation of the electric drive and the components in engagement with the electric drive 5 in such a way that the kinetic energy is converted into sound energy.
  • the furniture part 2 and the furniture body 11 gets the electric drive 5 as a sound-generating component the required sound box.
  • an audible signal for the human ear is already generated by the method described above.
  • Conceivable here is any type of acoustic signals, since depending on the control of the electric drive by pulse width modulation, both the frequency and the amplitude of the acoustic signal can be changed.
  • a speech signal is generated by the method described above.
  • a specific, for the user immediately interpretable message can be issued.
  • the generation of the acoustic signal by the method described above preferably takes place before or after a retraction or extension of a drawer 2, for example to acoustically acknowledge the function called by the user or to report the correct final state of the furniture part 2,
  • an additional signal is superimposed on the drive signal during the movement of the electric drive 5 for acoustic signal generation according to the method described above, so that the acoustic signal is generated during the abutment of the furniture part 2.
  • the movement of the furniture part 2 can be highlighted acoustically.
  • the electric drive 5 takes over in this way another function for which otherwise other components would have to be integrated into a piece of furniture that would take up space and cause further costs.
