Durch WO 2006/017863 A1 ist ein Möbel der betreffenden Art bekannt, das einen Auszug, der durch Antriebsmittel relativ zu einem Korpus des Möbels zwischen einer eingezogenen und einer ausgezogenen Position bewegbar ist, und Steuerungsmittel zur Ansteuerung der Antriebsmittel aufweist. Bei dem bekannten Möbel weisen die Steuerungsmittel einen Schalter mit zwei baulich voneinander getrennten Teilen auf, wobei ein erster Teil an der Frontblende des Auszugs und ein zweiter Teil in oder an dem Möbelkorpus angeordnet ist.By WO 2006/017863 A1 For example, a piece of furniture of the type in question is known, which has an extension, which is movable between a retracted position and an extended position by means of a drive relative to a body of the furniture, and control means for controlling the drive means. In the known furniture, the control means comprise a switch with two structurally separate parts, wherein a first part is arranged on the front panel of the drawer and a second part in or on the furniture body.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein weiteres Möbel der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 genannten Art anzugeben.The invention has for its object to provide a further piece of furniture mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebene Lehre gelöst.This object is achieved by the teaching defined in claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lehre sieht vor, daß die Steuerungsmittel wenigstens einen an dem Auszug angeordneten Vibrationsschalter aufweisen und die Antriebsmittel in Abhängigkeit von Ausgangssignalen des Vibrationsschalters ansteuern. Derartige Vibrationsschalter, die auch als Vibrationssensoren bezeichnet werden, dienen zur hochempfindlichen Detektion von Erschütterungen. Sie können beispielsweise so aufgebaut sein, daß eine Quecksilberperle oder eine Kugel in einem Becher angeordnet ist und bereits geringste Bewegungen der Quecksilberperle oder der Kugel, die durch Erschütterungen hervorgerufen werden, dadurch detektiert werden, daß die Quecksilberperle oder die Kugel zwei elektrische Kontakte überbrückt. Auf diese Weise ist eine hochempfindliche Detektion von Erschütterungen ermöglicht.The teaching according to the invention provides that the control means have at least one vibration switch arranged on the extension and actuate the drive means in response to output signals of the vibration switch. Such vibration switches, which are also referred to as vibration sensors, are used for the highly sensitive detection of shocks. They may, for example, be constructed so that a bead of mercury or a ball is arranged in a cup and even slightest movements of the mercury bead or the ball, which are caused by vibrations, be detected by the fact that the mercury bead or the ball bridges two electrical contacts. In this way, a highly sensitive detection of vibrations is possible.

Um bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Möbel den Auszug in seine ausgezogene Position zu bewegen, erzeugt ein Benutzer im Bereich des Vibrationsschalters Erschütterungen, indem er beispielsweise gegen eine Blende klopft, hinter der der Vibrationsschalter angeordnet ist. Die hierbei entstehenden Erschütterungen werden von dem Vibrationsschalter detektiert, der daraufhin ein Ausgangssignal erzeugt und an die Steuerungsmittel überträgt. Die Steuerungsmittel steuern daraufhin die Antriebsmittel derart an, daß diese den Auszug in die ausgezogene Position bewegen. Auf diese Weise ist die Bedienung des erfindungsgemäßen Möbels besonders bequem gestaltet.In order to move the extract to its extended position in the furniture according to the invention, a user creates vibrations in the region of the vibration switch, for example, by knocking against a panel behind which the vibration switch is arranged. The resulting vibrations are detected by the vibration switch, which then generates an output signal and transmits it to the control means. The control means then control the drive means to move the drawer to the extended position. In this way, the operation of the furniture according to the invention is designed particularly convenient.

Eine unerwünschte Aktivierung der Antriebsmittel, beispielsweise durch Vibrationen, die von Trittschall herrühren, läßt sich dadurch vermeiden, daß die Empfindlichkeit des Vibrationsschalters entsprechend gewählt wird. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch geschehen, daß ein Vibrationsschalter verwendet wird, dessen Empfindlichkeit so gewählt ist, daß er auf Vibrationen anspricht, die durch ein Klopfen in seiner unmittelbaren Nähe erzeugt werden, auf Vibrationen, die durch Trittschall oder Geräusche hervorgerufen werden, jedoch nicht anspricht. Es kann jedoch auch ein höherempfindlicher Vibrationsschalter verwendet werden, dessen Empfindlichkeit durch entsprechende Dämmittel herabgesetzt wird.An undesirable activation of the drive means, for example due to vibrations resulting from impact sound, can be avoided by the sensitivity of the vibration switch is selected accordingly. This can be done, for example, by that a vibration switch is used, the sensitivity of which is chosen so that it responds to vibrations that are produced by knocking in its immediate vicinity, to vibrations that are caused by impact sound or noise, but does not respond. However, it can also be used a more sensitive vibration switch whose sensitivity is reduced by appropriate Dämmittel.

Erfindungsgemäß können insbesondere miniaturisierte Vibrationsschalter verwendet werden, wie sie kommerziell beispielsweise von der Sensolute GmbH, D-76133 Karlsruhe (www.sensolute.com) unter der Bezeichnung "Mikro-Vibrationssensor", hergestellt werden. Derartige Vibrationsschalter verwenden anstelle einer Quecksilberkugel eine bewegliche Mikrokugel mit einem Durchmesser von beispielsweise 0,8 mm.According to the invention, in particular, miniaturized vibration switches can be used, as are commercially produced, for example, by Sensolute GmbH, D-76133 Karlsruhe (www.sensolute.com) under the name "micro-vibration sensor". Such vibration switches use a movable microsphere having a diameter of, for example, 0.8 mm instead of a mercury ball.

Form, Größe und Anzahl der Auszüge des erfindungsgemäßen Möbels sind innerhalb weiter Grenzen wählbar. Das erfindungsgemäße Möbel kann beispielsweise als Küchenschrank ausgebildet sein, bei dem der Auszug oder die Auszüge als Schublade ausgebildet ist bzw. sind. Das erfindungsgemäße Möbel kann jedoch auch als sogenannter Apothekerschrank ausgebildet sein, bei dem sich der Auszug über die gesamte Höhe des Möbels erstreckt.Shape, size and number of extracts of the furniture according to the invention can be selected within wide limits. The furniture according to the invention may be formed, for example, as a kitchen cabinet, in which the extract or the extracts is designed as a drawer or are. However, the furniture according to the invention may also be designed as a so-called apothecary cabinet in which the extract extends over the entire height of the furniture.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es grundsätzlich ausreichend, wenn die Antriebsmittel eine einzige Antriebseinheit, die beispielsweise und insbesondere als elektromotorische Antriebseinheit ausgebildet sein kann, aufweisen. Entsprechend den jeweiligen Anforderungen können jedoch auch zwei oder mehrere Antriebseinheiten vorgesehen sein.According to the invention, it is basically sufficient if the drive means have a single drive unit, which may be designed, for example, and in particular as an electromotive drive unit. However, according to the respective requirements, two or more drive units can also be provided.

Grundsätzlich kann der Vibrationsschalter an der vorderen, also dem Benutzer zugewandten Fläche des Auszuges angeordnet sein. Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre sieht jedoch vor, daß der Vibrationsschalter hinter einer Frontblende des Auszuges angeordnet ist. Auf diese Weise ist der Vibrationsschalter von der Vorderseite, also der dem Benutzer zugewandten Seite, der Frontblende nicht sichtbar, so daß der ästhetische Gesamteindruck des Möbels durch den Vibrationsschalter nicht gestört ist.Basically, the vibration switch on the front, so the user facing surface of the extract be arranged. An advantageous development of the teaching of the invention, however, provides that the vibration switch is arranged behind a front panel of the extract. In this way, the vibration switch from the front, so the user-facing side of the front panel is not visible, so that the overall aesthetic impression of the furniture is not disturbed by the vibration switch.

Grundsätzlich kann die Übertragung von Steuerungssignalen von den Steuerungsmitteln zu den Antriebsmittel drahtgebunden erfolgen. Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre sieht jedoch vor, daß Signalübertragungsmittel zur drahtlosen Übertragung von Signalen von dem Vibrationsschalter zu den Antriebsmitteln vorgesehen sind. Auf diese Weise ist eine Verdrahtung zwischen dem an dem Auszug angeordneten Vibrationsschalter und den an dem Korpus des Möbels angeordneten Antriebsmitteln nicht erforderlich, so daß bei dieser Ausführungsform die Antriebsmittel besonders einfach gestaltet und montierbar sind.In principle, the transmission of control signals from the control means to the drive means can be wired. An advantageous development of the teaching according to the invention, however, provides that signal transmission means are provided for the wireless transmission of signals from the vibration switch to the drive means. In this way, a wiring between the arranged on the extract vibration switch and arranged on the body of the furniture drive means is not required, so that in this embodiment, the drive means are particularly simple design and mountable.

Die Ausführungsform sieht vor, daß die Signalübertragungsmittel wenigstens einen dem Vibrationsschalter zugeordneten Funksender und wenigstens einen den Antriebsmitteln zugeordneten Funkempfänger aufweisen. Erfindungsgemäß werden Steuerungssignale von dem Vibrationsschalter zu den Antriebsmitteln per Funk übertragen.The embodiment provides that the signal transmission means comprise at least one radio transmitter associated with the radio transmitter and at least one of the drive means associated radio receiver. According to the invention, control signals are transmitted from the vibration switch to the drive means by radio.

Eine andere Weiterbildung der Ausführungsform mit den Signalübertragungsmitteln sieht vor, daß diese wenigstens einen dem Vibrationsschalter zugeordneten Infrarotsender und wenigstens einen den Antriebsmitteln zugeordneten Infrarotempfänger aufweisen. Bei dieser Ausführungsform erfolgt die Übertragung von Signalen von dem Vibrationsschalter zu den Antriebsmitteln per Infrarotstrahlung.Another embodiment of the embodiment with the signal transmission means provides that they have at least one infrared transmitter assigned to the vibration switch and at least one infrared receiver associated with the drive means. In this embodiment, the transmission of signals takes place from the vibration switch to the drive means by infrared radiation.

Eine andere vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre sieht vor, daß zur Spannungsversorgung des Vibrationsschalters wenigstens eine Batterie und/oder wenigstens ein Akkumulator vorgesehen ist. Auf diese Weise ist eine drahtgebundene Verbindung des Vibrationsschalters mit einer Spannungsquelle vermieden.Another advantageous development of the teaching of the invention provides that at least one battery and / or at least one accumulator is provided for supplying power to the vibration switch. In this way, a wired connection of the vibration switch with a voltage source is avoided.

Die Antriebseinheit 14 wird daraufhin so angesteuert, daß sich der in Fig. 2 erkennbare Stößel 18 in Fig. 2 nach rechts bewegt und den Auszug 6 in Richtung auf die in Fig. 2 dargestellte ausgezogene Position bewegt. Hierbei wird der Auszug 6 so beschleunigt, daß er sich am Ende des Bewegungshubes des Stößels 18 weiter bewegt und die ausgezogene Position erreicht. Nach dem Beschleunigen des Auszuges 6 wird die Antriebseinheit 14 so umgesteuert, daß sich der Stößel 18 in Fig. 2 zurück nach links bewegt.To move the extract 6 in the extended position, a user knocks against the front panel of the extract 6. The vibrations generated by the vibration switch 16 and generates signals for controlling the drive unit 14, which are transmitted by radio to this. The drive unit 14 is then driven so that the in Fig. 2 recognizable plunger 18 in Fig. 2 moved to the right and the extract 6 towards the in Fig. 2 shown extended position moves. Here, the extract 6 is accelerated so that it continues to move at the end of the movement stroke of the plunger 18 and reaches the extended position. After accelerating the extract 6, the drive unit 14 is reversed so that the plunger 18 in Fig. 2 moved back to the left.

Eine Bewegung des Auszuges 6 aus der ausgezogenen Position zurück in die eingezogene Position erfolgt bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel von Hand.A movement of the extract 6 from the extended position back to the retracted position takes place in this embodiment by hand.

Der Auszug 6 des erfindungsgemäßen Möbels 2 ist damit auf besonders einfache und zuverlässige Weise betätigbar, wobei der ästhetische Gesamteindruck des Möbels 2 durch den Vibrationsschalter 16 nicht beeinträchtigt ist, da dieser hinter der Frontblende des Auszuges 6 angeordnet ist. Da Leitungen zur Verbindung des Vibrationsschalters 16 mit der Antriebseinheit 14 bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel nicht erforderlich sind, ist die Montage der Antriebseinheit 14 und des Vibrationsschalters 16 an dem Auszug 6 bzw. dem Korpus 4 des Möbels 2 besonders einfach gestaltet.The extract 6 of the furniture 2 according to the invention is thus operable in a particularly simple and reliable manner, the overall aesthetic impression of the furniture 2 is not affected by the vibration switch 16, since this is arranged behind the front panel of the drawer 6. Since lines for connecting the vibration switch 16 to the drive unit 14 are not required in this embodiment, the assembly of the drive unit 14 and the vibration switch 16 on the drawer 6 and the body 4 of the cabinet 2 is particularly simple.

Fig. 3 zeigt ein Blockschaltbild von Bestandteilen der Steuerungsmittel des Möbels gemäß Fig. 2. Der Vibrationsschalter 16 steht in Signalübertragungsverbindung mit einem Auswerte- und Steuerungsprozessor 20, der seinerseits in Signalübertragungsverbindung mit einem dem Vibrationsschalter 16 zugeordneten Funksender 22 steht. Zur Spannungsversorgung des Vibrationsschalters 16, des Auswerte- und Steuerungsprozessors 20 und des Funksenders 22 ist eine austauschbare Batterie 24 vorgesehen. Bei Detektion einer Vibration überträgt dieser ein Signal zu dem Auswerte- und Steuerungsprozessor 20, der daraufhin den Funksender 22 ansteuert, so daß dieser ein Steuerungssignal zu der Antriebseinheit 14 sendet, die daraufhin in der oben anhand der Fig. 1 und 2 beschriebenen Weise den Auszug 6 in die ausgezogene Position bewegt. Fig. 3 shows a block diagram of components of the control means of the furniture according to Fig. 2 , The vibration switch 16 is in signal transmission connection with an evaluation and control processor 20, which in turn is in signal transmission connection with the vibration switch 16 associated radio transmitter 22. To supply voltage to the vibration switch 16, the evaluation and control processor 20 and the radio transmitter 22, a replaceable battery 24 is provided. Upon detection of a vibration, this transmits a signal to the evaluation and control processor 20, which then controls the radio transmitter 22 so that it sends a control signal to the drive unit 14, which then in the above with reference to Fig. 1 and 2 described manner moves the extract 6 in the extended position.

Fig. 4 zeigt ein Blockschaltbild von Bestandteilen von Steuerungsmitteln eines zweiten Ausführungsbeispieles eines erfindungsgemäßen Möbels 2, das sich von dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 dadurch unterscheidet, daß die Übertragung von Signalen zwischen dem Vibrationsschalter 16 und der Antriebseinheit 14 über Infrarotstrahlung erfolgt, so daß anstelle des Funksenders 22 ein Infrarotsender 26 vorgesehen ist. Der Antriebseinheit 14 ist dementsprechend ein Infrarotempfänger zugeordnet. Fig. 4 shows a block diagram of components of control means of a second embodiment of a furniture 2 according to the invention, which differs from the embodiment according to FIG Fig. 1 differs in that the transmission of signals between the vibration switch 16 and the drive unit 14 via infrared radiation, so that instead of the radio transmitter 22, an infrared transmitter 26 is provided. The drive unit 14 is accordingly assigned an infrared receiver.
