Description

Kupplung für ein bewegbares Möbelteil Clutch for a movable furniture part
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Kupplung zur lösbaren Verbindung eines bewegbaren Möbelteils mit einem Antrieb, mit einem zur Befestigung am bewegbarenThe present invention relates to a coupling for releasably connecting a movable furniture part with a drive, with a for attachment to the movable
Möbelteil bestimmten ersten Kupplungsteil und einem zur Befestigung am Antrieb bestimmten zweiten Kupplungsteil, wobei der erste Kupplungsteil eine Öffnung zur zumindest teilweisen Aufnahme des zweiten Kupplungsteils aufweist.Furniture part certain first coupling part and a designated for attachment to the drive second coupling part, wherein the first coupling part has an opening for at least partially receiving the second coupling part.
Derartige Kupplungen weisen das Problem auf, dass es aufgrund von Einbautoleranzen des Antriebs oder des bewegbaren Möbelteils im Möbelkorpus nicht immer vorhersehbar ist, wie weit der zweite Kupplungsteil in die Öffnung des ersten Kupplungsteils einführbar ist. So kann sich beispielsweise der Antrieb bzw. das bewegbare Möbelteil (und damit die entsprechenden Kupplungsteile) je nach Einbausituation unterschiedlich tief im Möbelkorpus befinden.Such couplings have the problem that it is not always predictable due to installation tolerances of the drive or the movable furniture part in the furniture body, as far as the second coupling part is inserted into the opening of the first coupling part. Thus, for example, the drive or the movable furniture part (and thus the corresponding coupling parts) depending on the installation situation are different deep in the furniture body.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine gattungsgemäße Kupplung derart weiterzubilden, dass sie einen Ausgleich zumindest der Tiefentoleranz in Bezug auf die Anordnung des ersten und des zweiten Kupplungsteils zueinander aufweist.The object of the invention is to develop a generic coupling such that it has a compensation at least the depth tolerance with respect to the arrangement of the first and the second coupling part to each other.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Kupplung mit dem Merkmal des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a coupling with the feature of claim 1.
Durch das Vorsehen eines Verriegelungsmechanismus, welcher für unterschiedliche Einführungstiefen des zweiten Kupplungsteils in den ersten Kupplungsteil die Verriegelung der beiden Kupplungsteile zueinander sicherstellt, wird der aufgabengemäß geforderte Ausgleich der Tiefentoleranz erreicht.By providing a locking mechanism which ensures the locking of the two coupling parts to one another for different insertion depths of the second coupling part into the first coupling part, the task of compensating for the depth tolerance required is achieved.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Kupplung ist vorgesehen, dass der Verriegelungsmechanismus die Verbindung zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Kupplungsteil bei Erreichen einer vorgegebenen Trennkraft löst. In diesem Fall ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die vorgegebene Trennkraft für die wenigstens zwei unterschiedlichen Positionen gleich groß ist. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass es bei der Benutzung der Kupplung zu keinen merklichen Abhängigkeiten von der tatsächlichen Einbaulage kommt. Der Verriegelungsmechanismus kann beispielsweise zwei durch einen Kraftspeicher (zB Feder) gegeneinander vorgespannte Klemmbacken aufweisen, welche den zweiten Kupplungsteil im Verriegelungszustand festklemmen. Überschreitet die auf die beiden Kupplungsteile einwirkende Trennkraft die durch den Kraftspeicher auf die Klemmbacken ausgeübte Kraft, kommt es zu einem Öffnen des Verriegelungsmechanismus. Dies führt zu einer Entkupplung von Antrieb und bewegbarem Möbelteil.In a preferred embodiment of the coupling is provided that the locking mechanism releases the connection between the first and the second coupling part upon reaching a predetermined release force. In this case, it is advantageous if the predetermined separation force for the at least two different positions is the same. This ensures that there is no appreciable dependency on the actual mounting position when using the clutch. The locking mechanism may, for example, comprise two jaws biased against each other by a force accumulator (eg spring) which clamp the second coupling part in the locked state. If the separating force acting on the two coupling parts exceeds the force exerted on the clamping jaws by the force accumulator, the locking mechanism is opened. This leads to a decoupling of drive and movable furniture part.
Zur Erleichterung des Einführens des zweiten Kupplungsteils in die Öffnung des ersten Kupplungsteils kann vorgesehen sein, dass am zweiten Kupplungsteil ein Stift zum Einführen in die Öffnung angeordnet ist. Dabei kann der Stift wenigstens zwei axial voneinander beabstandete Rastpositionen für die Klemmbacken aufweisen.To facilitate the insertion of the second coupling part in the opening of the first coupling part can be provided that a pin for insertion into the opening is arranged on the second coupling part. In this case, the pin may have at least two axially spaced detent positions for the jaws.
Die beiden voneinander beabstandeten Rastpositionen erlauben die Verriegelung der beiden Kupplungsteile in den beiden unterschiedlichen Positionen des ersten und des zweiten Kupplungsteils relativ zueinander.The two mutually spaced detent positions allow the locking of the two coupling parts in the two different positions of the first and second coupling part relative to each other.
Dabei kann jede der Rastpositionen wenigstens eine Rille aufweisen, in welche die Klemmbacken im Verriegelungszustand eingreifen.In this case, each of the locking positions have at least one groove, in which engage the jaws in the locked state.
An sich können auch zwei oder mehrere Rillen pro Rastposition vorgesehen sein, sodass die Klemmbacken in jeder Rastposition in zwei oder mehrere Rillen eingreifen.In itself, two or more grooves per detent position may be provided so that the jaws engage in each detent position in two or more grooves.
Soll die Trennkraft für die wenigstens zwei unterschiedlichen Positionen der Kupplungsteile gleich groß sein, muss allerdings gewährleistet sein, dass die Anzahl der Rillen, in welche die Klemmbacken im Verriegelungszustand eingreifen, für jede der Rastpositionen gleich groß ist.If the separating force for the at least two different positions of the coupling parts should be the same size, it must, however, be ensured that the number of grooves in which the clamping jaws engage in the locking state is the same for each of the locking positions.
An sich kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Rastpositionen über die axiale Erstreckung des Stiftes voneinander deutlich beabstandet sind, dass also zwischen den Rillen der jeweiligen Rastpositionen ein nicht gerillter axialer Bereich des Stiftes vorliegt. Dies ist allerdings insofern nachteilig, als sich hierdurch nur eine stufenweise Ausgleichsmöglichkeit für die Tiefenpositionierung der beiden Kupplungsteile zueinander ergibt Besonders bevorzugt ist daher vorgesehen, dass der Stift über seine axiale Erstreckung eine Vielzahl benachbarter Rillen aufweist. In diesem Fall gibt es also keine nicht-gerillten Zwischenräume zwischen den einzelnen Rastpositionen. Ist vorgesehen, dass die Klemmbacken im Verriegelungszustand jeweils in eine Rille eingreifen, wird durch jede Rille eine eigene Rastposition verwirklicht. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine annähernd stufenlose Ausgleichsmöglichkeit in Bezug auf die Tiefentoleranz.As such, it can be provided that the latching positions are clearly spaced from one another via the axial extent of the pin, that is, there is a non-grooved axial area of the pin between the grooves of the respective latching positions. However, this is disadvantageous, as this results in only a gradual compensation possibility for the depth positioning of the two coupling parts to each other It is therefore particularly preferred that the pin has a plurality of adjacent grooves over its axial extent. In this case, there are no non-grooved spaces between the individual detent positions. If it is provided that the clamping jaws each engage in a groove in the locking state, a separate locking position is realized by each groove. This results in an almost infinite compensation possibility with respect to the depth tolerance.
Um das Einfangen des Stiftes in einer Richtung rechtwinklig zur Einführrichtung (also bei einer außermittigen Annäherung)zu gestatten, kann vorgesehen sein, vor der Öffnung des ersten Kupplungsteils einen Trichter anzuordnen.In order to allow the capture of the pin in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction (ie in an off-center approach), it may be provided to arrange a funnel before the opening of the first coupling part.
An sich eignet sich die erfindungsgemäße Kupplung für unterschiedlichste Antriebe. Besonders bevorzugt ist allerdings vorgesehen, dass der zweite Kupplungsteil mit dem Zugmittel einer Einzugsvorrichtung verbindbar ist.In itself, the coupling according to the invention is suitable for a wide variety of drives. However, it is particularly preferably provided that the second coupling part can be connected to the pulling means of a collection device.
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft weiters eine Einzugsvorrichtung für ein bewegbares Möbelteil mit einem auf einer Rolle aufwickelbaren Zugmittel, wobei ein Elektromotor zum Antreiben der Rolle vorgesehen ist, wobei sich die Einzugsvorrichtung durch einen mit dem Zugmittel verbundenen zweiten Kupplungsteil einer Kupplung nach einer der oben ausgeführten Ausführungsformen auszeichnet.The present invention further relates to a collection device for a movable furniture part with a wound on a roll traction means, wherein an electric motor for driving the roller is provided, wherein the collection device is characterized by a connected to the traction means second coupling part of a coupling according to one of the embodiments above ,
Eine derartige Einzugsvorrichtung kann mit einem Gehäuse versehen sein, in welchem die Rolle und der Elektromotor angeordnet sind. In diesem Fall ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Gehäuse im Abwickelbereich der Rolle ein Fenster aufweist, das wesentlich größer ist als der Querschnitt des Zugmittels. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass sich das Zugmittel im Abwickelbereich in einer Richtung orthogonal zur Abwickelrichtung (und damit orthogonal zur Bewegungsrichtung des bewegbaren Möbelteils) relativ frei bewegen kann, was einen Ausgleich gegenüber Einbautoleranzen rechtwinklig zur Abwickelrichtung ergibt.Such a collection device may be provided with a housing in which the roller and the electric motor are arranged. In this case, it is advantageous if the housing in the unwinding of the roller has a window which is substantially larger than the cross section of the traction means. This ensures that the traction means in the unwinding in a direction orthogonal to the unwinding (and thus orthogonal to the direction of movement of the movable furniture part) can move relatively freely, resulting in a compensation for installation tolerances at right angles to the unwinding.
Beispielsweise kann der Durchmesser des Zugmittels ca. 0,5 mm bis 1 mm betragen, während das Fenster eine Länge und Breite von ca. 5 mm aufweist.For example, the diameter of the traction device can be about 0.5 mm to 1 mm, while the window has a length and width of about 5 mm.
Soll die Einzugsvorrichtung eine Touch-Latch-Funktionalität aufweisen (in diesem Fall ist die Rolle durch eine von außen ausgeübte Krafteinwirkung auf das bewegbare Möbelteil auslösbar) bzw. soll sichergestellt sein, dass es bei einer entriegelten Kupplung zu einem Aufwickeln des Zugmittels kommt, kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Rolle in Abwickelrichtung durch einen Kraftspeicher vorgespannt ist.If the collection device to a touch-latch functionality (in this case, the role of an externally applied force on the movable Furniture part can be triggered) or should be ensured that it comes with an unlocked clutch to a winding of the traction means, it can be provided that the role is biased in the unwinding by an energy storage.
Der Kraftspeicher dient einerseits dazu, das Zugmittel bei entriegelter Kupplung aufzuwickeln. Andererseits sorgt der Kraftspeicher für eine mechanische Spannung entlang des Zugmittels. Dadurch können Kräfte, die von einem Benutzer auf das bewegbare Möbelteil ausgeübt werden, über das Zugmittel auf die Rolle übertragen werden. Eine Zug- oder Druckkraft auf das bewegbare Möbelteil führt hierdurch zu einer gewissen Verdrehung der Rolle, was von einem geeigneten Sensor (zum Beispiel Drehpotentiometer) detektiert werden kann. Der Sensor löst daraufhin den Elektromotor der Einzugsvorrichtung aus (Touch-Latch-Funktionalität).The energy storage serves on the one hand to wind the traction means with unlocked clutch. On the other hand, the energy accumulator ensures a mechanical tension along the traction means. As a result, forces exerted by a user on the movable furniture part can be transmitted via the traction means on the role. A tensile or compressive force on the movable furniture part thereby leads to a certain rotation of the role, which can be detected by a suitable sensor (for example, rotary potentiometer). The sensor then triggers the electric motor of the feeder (touch-latch functionality).

Die Fig. 1a und 1b zeigen zwei unterschiedliche perspektivische Ansichten einer erfindungsgemäßen Kupplung 1. Die Kupplung 1 weist einen ersten Kupplungsteil 2 auf, welcher an einem in der Fig. 1 nicht dargestellten bewegbaren Möbelteil montierbar ist. Weiters ist ein zweiter Kupplungsteil 3 vorgesehen, welcher in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel einen mit Rillen 10 versehenen Stift 9 aufweist (In Fig. 1c sind aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit nur die vordersten drei Rillen mit dem Bezugszeichen 10 versehen.).FIGS. 1a and 1b show two different perspective views of a coupling 1 according to the invention. The coupling 1 has a first coupling part 2, which can be mounted on a movable furniture part (not shown in FIG. 1). Furthermore, a second coupling part 3 is provided, which in this Embodiment has a provided with grooves 10 pin 9 (in Fig. 1c, for clarity, only the foremost three grooves are provided with the reference numeral 10.).
Erkennbar ist, dass der erste Kupplungsteil 2 eine Öffnung 4 aufweist, in welche der Stift 9 des zweiten Kupplungsteils 3 unterschiedlich tief einführbar ist (zum Beispiel zwischen 2 mm und 6 mm). Der Öffnung 4 vorgelagert ist ein Trichter 6 zum Einfangen des Stiftes 9 (siehe insbesondere die Fig. 7a bis 7c).It can be seen that the first coupling part 2 has an opening 4 into which the pin 9 of the second coupling part 3 can be inserted at different depths (for example between 2 mm and 6 mm). The opening 4 is preceded by a funnel 6 for capturing the pin 9 (see in particular Figs. 7a to 7c).
In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist der zweite Kupplungsteil 2 im Wesentlichen zweiteilig ausgeführt, wobei zwischen den beiden Teilen der Verriegelungsmechanismus 5 angeordnet ist. Der Verriegelungsmechanismus 5 weist zwei schwenkbar gelagerte Klemmbacken 8 auf, welche durch einen Kraftspeicher 7 in Verriegelungsrichtung vorgespannt sind.In this embodiment, the second coupling part 2 is designed substantially in two parts, wherein between the two parts of the locking mechanism 5 is arranged. The locking mechanism 5 has two pivotally mounted jaws 8, which are biased by a force accumulator 7 in the locking direction.
Wie insbesondere aus den Fig. 2a bis 2d hervorgeht, welche einen Einführvorgang (Fig. 2a bis 2c) bzw. einen Entriegelungsvorgang (Fig. 2d) zeigen, werden die beiden Klemmbacken 8 gegen die Beaufschlagung des Kraftspeichers 7 während des Einführens des Stiftes 9 auseinandergedrückt. Hierdurch kommt es zu einer leichten Dehnung des Kraftspeichers 7.As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 2a to 2d, which show an insertion process (FIGS. 2a to 2c) and an unlocking process (FIG. 2d), the two clamping jaws 8 are pressed apart against the action of the force store 7 during the insertion of the pin 9 , This results in a slight stretching of the force accumulator. 7
In Fig. 2c befindet sich die Kupplung 1 im Verriegelungszustand und der Kraftspeicher 7 drückt die Klemmbacken 8 gegen eine einzige Rille 10 des Stiftes 9.In Fig. 2c, the clutch 1 is in the locked state and the energy storage 7 presses the jaws 8 against a single groove 10 of the pin. 9
Insbesondere in der Schnittdarstellung der Fig. 2d ist erkennbar, dass bei Überschreiten der durch den Kraftspeicher 7 ausgeübten Kraft die Klemmbacken 8 durch den Stift 9 auseinandergedrückt werden, wodurch sich der Kraftspeicher 7 leicht dehnt. Hierdurch kann der zweite Kupplungsteil 3 aus dem ersten Kupplungsteil 2 entfernt werden.In particular, in the sectional view of Fig. 2d can be seen that when exceeding the force exerted by the force memory 7 force the jaws 8 are pushed apart by the pin 9, whereby the energy storage 7 is slightly stretched. As a result, the second coupling part 3 can be removed from the first coupling part 2.
Wesentlich ist, dass in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel durch die Vielzahl der Rillen 10 der Stift 9 stufenlos unterschiedlich weit in die Öffnung 4 eingeführt werden kann. Die Klemmbacken 8 können den Stift 9 in jeder Position verriegeln, da der Stift 9 im Wesentlichen über seine gesamte axiale Erstreckung unterbrochen mit Rillen 10 versehen ist. Fig. 3 zeigt eine Einzugsvorrichtung für ein nicht dargestelltes bewegbares Möbelteil. Die Einzugsvorrichtung ist in einem Antrieb 12 ausgebildet, welcher neben der Einzugsvorrichtung noch eine Ausstoßvorrichtung mit einem Ausstoßhebel 14 aufweist. Die Einzugsvorrichtung ist in einem Gehäuse 13 angeordnet, aus welchem das Zugmittel 11 herausgeführt ist. Das Zugmittel 11 ist mit dem zweiten Kupplungsteil 3 der in den vorherigen Figuren dargestellten Kupplung 1 verbunden.It is essential that in this embodiment, by the plurality of grooves 10 of the pin 9 can be inserted variably different distances in the opening 4. The jaws 8 can lock the pin 9 in any position, since the pin 9 is provided with grooves 10 interrupted substantially over its entire axial extent. Fig. 3 shows a collection device for a not shown movable furniture part. The collection device is embodied in a drive 12 which, in addition to the collection device, also has an ejection device with an ejection lever 14. The collection device is arranged in a housing 13, from which the traction means 11 is led out. The traction means 11 is connected to the second coupling part 3 of the coupling 1 shown in the previous figures.
Das Gehäuse 13 weist ein Fenster 14 auf, das wesentlich größer ist als der Querschnitt des Zugmittels 11. Hierdurch wird ein Ausgleich von Einbautoleranzen in Richtungen orthogonal zur dargestellten Richtung des Zugmittels 11 gestattet. Der Tiefenausgleich wird durch den oben beschriebenen Mechanismus gewährleistet, sodass sich insgesamt ein Ausgleich in allen Raumrichtungen ergibt.The housing 13 has a window 14, which is substantially larger than the cross section of the traction means 11. This allows a compensation of installation tolerances in directions orthogonal to the illustrated direction of the traction means 11. The depth compensation is ensured by the mechanism described above, so that overall results in a compensation in all directions.
Fig. 4 zeigt den in Fig. 3 angestellten Antrieb 12, wobei das Zugmittel 11 vollständig auf die nicht dargestellte Rolle aufgewickelt wurde.Fig. 4 shows the employee employed in Fig. 3 drive 12, wherein the traction means 11 has been completely wound up on the roller, not shown.
Fig. 5 zeigt einen Ausschnitt eines Möbelkorpus 15, in welchem eine Schublade 16 als bewegbares Möbelteil bewegbar gelagert ist. An der Rückseite der Schublade 16 ist der erste Kupplungsteil 2 einer erfindungsgemäßen Kupplung 1 angeordnet. In dem in Fig. 5 dargestellten Zustand ist der zweiten Kupplungsteil 3 der erfindungsgemäßen Kupplung 1 mit dem ersten Kupplungsteil 2 verbunden, sodass die Schublade 16 durch das Zugmittel 11 in ihre geschlossene Endlage in den Möbelkorpus 15 bewegt werden kann. Der Ausstoßhebel 14 dient zum Ausstoßen der Schublade 16 aus dem Möbelkorpus 15.Fig. 5 shows a section of a furniture body 15, in which a drawer 16 is movably mounted as a movable furniture part. At the rear of the drawer 16, the first coupling part 2 of a coupling 1 according to the invention is arranged. In the state shown in Fig. 5, the second coupling part 3 of the coupling 1 according to the invention is connected to the first coupling part 2, so that the drawer 16 can be moved by the traction means 11 in its closed end position in the furniture body 15. The ejection lever 14 serves to eject the drawer 16 from the furniture body 15th
Fig. 6 zeigt eine Detaildarstellung zur Fig. 5.FIG. 6 shows a detailed representation of FIG. 5.
Die Fig. 7a bis 7c zeigen eine Situation, in welche durch Einbautoleranzen der zweite Kupplungsteil 3 relativ zum ersten Kupplungsteil 2 außermittig angeordnet ist. Erkennbar ist, dass der Trichter 6 dennoch das Einfangen des Stiftes 9 des zweiten Kupplungsteils 3 gestattet. FIGS. 7a to 7c show a situation in which the second coupling part 3 is arranged off-center relative to the first coupling part 2 by installation tolerances. It can be seen that the funnel 6 still allows the capture of the pin 9 of the second coupling part 3.
