Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Kupplung zur lösbaren Verbindung eines bewegbaren Möbelteils mit einem Antrieb, wobei die Kupplung einen Kupplungsteil aufweist.The present invention relates to a coupling for detachable connection of a movable furniture part with a drive, wherein the coupling has a coupling part.

Eine Kupplung ist aus WO 2007/009135 A2 bekannt.A clutch is off WO 2007/009135 A2 known.

Derartige Kupplungen weisen das Problem auf, dass es durch Lagetoleranzen des bewegbaren Möbelteils relativ zum Antrieb schwierig sein kann, die Verbindung zwischen dem bewegbaren Möbelteil und dem Antrieb herzustellen. Bei den Lagetoleranzen kann es sich beispielsweise um Einbautoleranzen handeln. Diese sind darauf zurückzuführen, dass weder der Antrieb noch das bewegbare Möbelteil bei jeder Montage exakt an dieselbe Stelle eines Möbelkorpus montiert wird.Such couplings have the problem that it may be difficult by positional tolerances of the movable furniture part relative to the drive to make the connection between the movable furniture part and the drive. The position tolerances may be, for example, installation tolerances. These are due to the fact that neither the drive nor the movable furniture part is mounted exactly at the same place of a furniture body with each assembly.

Ein weiteres Beispiel für Lagetoleranzen sind Betriebstoleranzen, welche also nicht auf einen ungenauen Einbau des Antriebs oder Möbelteils in den Möbelkorpus zurückzuführen sind, sondern unweigerlich beim Betrieb des bewegbaren Möbelteils auftreten. Zum Beispiel ist es bekannt, dass sich ein als Schublade ausgebildetes bewegbares Möbelteil je nach Beladungszustand um einige Millimeter senken bzw. heben kann.Another example of positional tolerances are operating tolerances, which are therefore not due to inaccurate installation of the drive or furniture part in the furniture body, but inevitably occur during operation of the movable furniture part. For example, it is known that a designed as a drawer movable furniture part can lower or lift depending on the load state by a few millimeters.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es eine gattungsgemäße Kupplung bereitzustellen, welche dazu geeignet ist, die oben diskutierten Probleme zu beheben.The object of the invention is to provide a generic coupling which is suitable for overcoming the problems discussed above.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Kupplung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This is achieved by a coupling with the features of claim 1.

Durch das Vorsehen einer begrenzten Bewegbarkeit des Kupplungsteils in der auszugleichenden Richtung fallen Lagetoleranzen weder in der Form von Einbautoleranzen noch in der Form von Betriebstoleranzen ins Gewicht.By providing a limited mobility of the coupling part in the direction to be compensated position tolerances fall neither in the form of installation tolerances in the form of operating tolerances in the weight.

Das erfindungsgemäße Konzept ist zwar nicht auf eine bestimmte Antriebsart beschränkt. Besonders bevorzugt ist jedoch eine Ausführungsform, bei welcher vorgesehen ist, dass der Antrieb ein auf eine durch einen Elektromotor antreibbare Rolle aufwickelbares Zugmittel aufweist. In diesem Fall kann die begrenzte Bewegbarkeit des Kupplungsteils zumindest entlang der Wirkungslinie des Antriebs (also in bzw. entgegen der Auszugsrichtung des bewegbaren Möbelteils) dadurch realisiert werden, dass das Zugmittel bzw. die Rolle ein gewisses Spiel aufweist. Das heißt, auch bei nicht aktiviertem Antrieb kann das Zugmittelum das Spiel von der Rolle ab- bzw. auf diese aufgewickelt werden.Although the inventive concept is not limited to a particular type of drive. However, an embodiment is particularly preferred in which it is provided that the drive has a traction means that can be wound onto a roller that can be driven by an electric motor. In this case, the limited Mobility of the coupling part at least along the line of action of the drive (ie in or against the extension direction of the movable furniture part) can be realized in that the traction means or the role has a certain amount of play. This means that even when the drive is not activated, the traction mechanism can be used to take the game off the reel or onto it.

Bei dieser Ausführungsform kann weiters vorgesehen sein, dass der Antrieb ein Gehäuse aufweist, wobei im Abwickelbereich der Rolle ein Fenster zum Austritt des Zugmittels vorgesehen ist und dass das Fenster wesentlich größer ist, als der Durchmesser des Zugmittels. Hierdurch ergibt sich auch eine Ausgleichsmöglichkeit für Richtungen, welche orthogonal zur Wirkungslinie des Antriebs verlaufen. Beispielsweise wird das Zugmittel meist einen Durchmesser von 0,5 mm bis 1 mm aufweisen. In diesem Fall genügt es, wenn das Fenster eine Dimensionierung im Bereich von ca. 5 mm (zum Beispiel bei einer quadratischen Ausführung für jede Seite) aufweist.In this embodiment, it can further be provided that the drive has a housing, wherein in the unwinding area of the roller a window is provided for exiting the traction means and that the window is substantially larger than the diameter of the traction means. This also results in a compensation possibility for directions which are orthogonal to the line of action of the drive. For example, the traction means will usually have a diameter of 0.5 mm to 1 mm. In this case, it is sufficient if the window has a dimensioning in the range of about 5 mm (for example, in a square design for each page).

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform ergibt sich, wenn vorgesehen ist, dass der Kupplungsteil ein mit dem Zugmittel verbundener Magnet ist. Bewegbare Möbelteile weisen normalerweise eine metallische Rückwand auf (zum Beispiel eine metallische Schubladenzarge). In diesem Fall kann der Magnet an einer nur durch das Zugmittel begrenzten Stelle irgendwo auf der Rückseite des bewegbaren Möbelteils ankoppeln.A further advantageous embodiment results when it is provided that the coupling part is a magnet connected to the traction means. Movable furniture parts usually have a metallic back wall (for example, a metal drawer frame). In this case, the magnet can be coupled to a limited only by the traction means anywhere on the back of the movable furniture part.

Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Kupplungsteil ein erstes Teilstück zur Montage am bewegbaren Möbelteil und ein zweites Teilstück zur Montage am Antrieb aufweist.In another embodiment of the invention it is provided that the coupling part has a first portion for mounting on the movable furniture part and a second portion for mounting on the drive.

In diesem Fall kann vorgesehen sein, dass das zweite Teilstück auf einem in zwei zueinander orthogonalen Richtungen, welche orthogonal zur Wirkungslinie des Antriebs verlaufen, verschiebbaren Schlitten gelagert ist. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine Ausgleichsmöglichkeit in Bezug auf Lagetoleranzen orthogonal zur Wirkungslinie des Antriebs.In this case, it can be provided that the second section is mounted on a slide which is displaceable in two mutually orthogonal directions which are orthogonal to the line of action of the drive. This results in a compensation possibility with respect to positional tolerances orthogonal to the line of action of the drive.

Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann vorgesehen sein, dass das zweite Teilstück entlang der Wirkungslinie des Antriebs begrenzt bewegbar gelagert ist, wodurch sich eine Ausgleichsmöglichkeit entlang der Wirkungslinie des Antriebs ergibt.Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the second section is mounted so that it can move in a limited manner along the line of action of the drive, resulting in a compensation possibility along the line of action of the drive.

Weiters alternativ oder zusätzlich kann vorgesehen sein, dass das zweite Teilstück relativ zu einem Gehäuse des Antriebs schwenkbar gelagert ist. Auch durch eine schwenkbare Lagerung ergeben sich Ausgleichsmüglichkeiten sowohl in als auch orthogonal zur Wirkungslinie des Antriebs.Furthermore, alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the second portion is pivotally mounted relative to a housing of the drive. Also by a pivotable storage Ausgleichsmüglichkeiten arise both in and orthogonal to the line of action of the drive.

Weitere Vorteile und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich anhand der Figuren sowie der dazugehörigen Figurenbeschreibung. Dabei zeigen die Fig. 1 bis 5 jeweils ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung in perspektivischer Ansicht, einer teilweisen Explosionsdarstellung sowie einer Schnittdarstellung.Further advantages and details of the invention will become apparent from the figures and the associated description of the figures. The show Fig. 1 to 5 in each case an embodiment of the invention in a perspective view, a partial exploded view and a sectional view.

Alle Figuren zeigen jeweils einen Antrieb 5, welcher an einer Profilschiene 6 lösbar befestigt ist und einen Ausstoßhebel 7 sowie eine Einzugsvorrichtung mit einem Zugmittel 4 aufweist. Die Ausführungsbeispiele unterscheiden sich in der Ausbildung der Kupplung 1.All figures each show a drive 5, which is releasably attached to a rail 6 and an ejection lever 7 and a retraction device with a traction means 4 has. The exemplary embodiments differ in the design of the coupling 1.

So zeigen die Fig. 1a bis 1d eine Ausführungsform der Kupplung 1, welche zwei Teilstücke 2, 3 aufweist, wobei das erste Teilstück 2 zur Montage am bewegbaren Möbelteil 8 und das zweite Teilstück 3 zur Montage am Antrieb 5 vorgesehen ist.So show the Fig. 1a to 1d an embodiment of the coupling 1, which has two sections 2, 3, wherein the first portion 2 is provided for mounting on the movable furniture part 8 and the second part 3 for mounting on the drive 5.

Das Zugmittel 4 ist über in Fig. 1 b nicht dargestellte Umlenkrollen (siehe Fig. 1c)und ein Fenster 9 aus dem Gehäuse des Antriebs 5 herausgeführt. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine Ausgleichsmöglichkeit von Lagetoleranzen in Richtungen, welche orthogonal zur Wirkungslinie des Antriebs (in allen Figuren Laufrichtung des Zugmittels 4 außerhalb des Gehäuses) verlaufen. Zum Ausgleich von Lagetoleranzen in Wirkungslinie des Antriebs 5 weist das zweite Teilstück 3 einen gerillten Stift 10 auf, wobei das erste Teilstück 2 derart ausgebildet ist, dass der Stift 10 mit jeder einzelnen Rille im ersten Teilstück 2 verriegelt werden kann und zwar über Klemmbacken 11 (siehe Schnittdarstellung der Fig, 1d).The traction means 4 is over in Fig. 1 b not shown pulleys (see Fig. 1c ) and a window 9 led out of the housing of the drive 5. This results in a compensation possibility of position tolerances in directions which orthogonal to the line of action of the drive (in all figures running direction of the traction means 4 outside of the housing). To compensate for positional tolerances in the line of action of the drive 5, the second portion 3 has a grooved pin 10, wherein the first portion 2 is formed such that the pin 10 can be locked with each groove in the first section 2, namely via jaws 11 (FIGS. see sectional view of the Fig. 1d ).

In allen Ausführungsbeispielen ist das bewegbare Möbelteil 8 als Schublade ausgebildet.In all embodiments, the movable furniture part 8 is designed as a drawer.

Auch im Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 2a bis 2d ist die Kupplung 1 zweiteilig ausgeführt. Dabei weist wiederum das zweite Teilstück 3 einen gerillten Stift 10 auf, durch welchen der Ausgleich in der Wirkungslinie des Antriebs 5 erfolgen kann.Also in the embodiment of Fig. 2a to 2d the coupling 1 is made in two parts. In this case, in turn, the second portion 3 has a grooved pin 10 through which the compensation in the line of action of the drive 5 can take place.

Zur Realisierung des Ausgleichs von Lagetoleranzen in einer Richtung orthogonal zur Wirkungslinie des Antriebs 5 weist der erste Kupplungsteil 2 einen auf einem Schlitten 12 gelagerten Einfangteil 13, welcher trichterförmig ausgebildet ist, auf.For realizing the compensation of positional tolerances in a direction orthogonal to the line of action of the drive 5, the first coupling part 2 has a catching part 13 mounted on a slide 12, which is funnel-shaped.

Der Schlitten 12 ist dabei entlang zweier orthogonaler Richtungen begrenzt verschiebbar gelagert.The carriage 12 is mounted displaceably limited along two orthogonal directions.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Fig. 3a bis 3d ist die Kupplung 1 einteilig ausgeführt und weist einen als Magneten 14 ausgebildeten Kupplungsteil auf. Der Magnet 14 ist dabei mit dem freien Ende des Zugmittels 4 verbunden. Durch die Beweglichkeit des Zugmittels 4 und der Tatsache, dass der Magnet 14 prinzipiell an jeder Stelle des metallischen Möbelteils Shaften kann, ergibt sich eine Ausgleichsmöglichkeit für Lagetoleranzen sowohl in als auch orthogonal zur Wirkungslinie des Antriebs 5.In the embodiment of the Fig. 3a to 3d the coupling 1 is made in one piece and has a trained as a magnet 14 coupling part. The magnet 14 is connected to the free end of the traction means 4. Due to the mobility of the traction means 4 and the fact that the magnet 14 can in principle Shaften at any point of the metallic furniture part, there is a compensation for positional tolerances both in and orthogonal to the line of action of the drive. 5

Das Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Fig. 4a bis 4d weist wiederum eine zweiteilige Kupplung 1 auf. Dies entspricht der in den Fig. 1a bis 1d dargestellten Kupplung 1 mit dem Unterschied, dass der zweite Kupplungsteil 3 relativ zum Gehäuse des Antriebs 5 schwenkbar gelagert ist (der Teil 15 ist über das Gelenk 16 schwenkbar am Gehäuse des Antriebs 5 gelagert). Das Zugmittel 4 wird aus dem Gehäuse des Antriebs 5 im rückwandigen Bereich des Abschnitts 15 geführt und ist mit dem freien Ende mit dem zweiten Teilstück 3 der Kupplung 1 verbunden.The embodiment of the Fig. 4a to 4d again has a two-part coupling 1. This corresponds to that in the Fig. 1a to 1d illustrated clutch 1 with the difference that the second coupling part 3 is pivotally mounted relative to the housing of the drive 5 (the part 15 is pivotally mounted on the hinge 16 on the housing of the drive 5). The traction means 4 is guided out of the housing of the drive 5 in the rear-walled region of the section 15 and is connected to the free end with the second section 3 of the coupling 1.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Fig. 5a bis 5d ist das zweite Teilstück 3 der Kupplung 1 auf einem Schlitten 12 gelagert (entsprechend der Fig. 2a). Das zweite Teilstück 3 weist wieder einen gerillten Stift 10 auf. Der Schlitten 12 ist entlang zweier zueinander orthogonaler Richtungen begrenzt bewegbar gelagert. Zum Zentrieren des Stiftes 10 sind zwei Zentrierstifte 17 vorgesehen, welche in entsprechende Öffnungen 18 am ersten Teilstück 2 der Kupplung 1 eingreifen. Das erste Teilstück 2 ist wieder an der Rückwand eines in den Fig. 5a bis 5d nicht dargestellten bewegbaren Möbelteils 8 angeordnet.In the embodiment of the Fig. 5a to 5d is the second portion 3 of the clutch 1 mounted on a carriage 12 (corresponding to the Fig. 2a ). The second section 3 again has a grooved pin 10. The carriage 12 is mounted movably limited along two mutually orthogonal directions. For centering the pin 10, two centering pins 17 are provided, which engage in corresponding openings 18 on the first section 2 of the coupling 1. The first section 2 is again on the back wall of a in the Fig. 5a to 5d not shown movable furniture part 8 is arranged.
