Definitions

  • the invention relates to actuator of an extract, Tablares, a flap, a frontal element or the like.
  • the drive unit is activated via control means and the control means comprise a structure-borne sound sensor associated with the element to be opened and have a further sensor whose signals are comparable to one another in an evaluation unit of the control means.
  • an actuator for an extract of a piece of furniture is known with a switch as a control means which is arranged on the front element, for example a front panel of a furniture drawer, for example in the manner of a pharmacist cabinet. It is also possible to provide such a control means on a door of a cabinet containing a tray that for example, is to move out of a corner cabinet. In such a furniture extracts, trays and the like are to be transferred by motor to its open position, so that there parked items can be taken by an operator. The disadvantage here is that such a switch affects the overall impression of a furniture front.
  • an actuating device which can be activated via control means, which have a room microphone and a solid-state sound sensor.
  • the control means detect a structure-borne sound signal and a signal which is received via the room microphone.
  • an operator to knock on the front of the cabinet which detects the arranged behind the front panel solid state sound sensor and forwards the corresponding signal to the control unit.
  • the room microphone is oriented towards the front panel, so that the signal also initiates sound waves, which are detected by the room microphone with a corresponding time delay.
  • the control unit is then to be able to determine whether it is a knock signal for actuating the motor drive in the direction of opening the cabinet or whether it is a false signal.
  • the disadvantage here is that with the combination of the solid-state sound signal and the room microphone not reliably enough knock commands are to be processed. In particular, it is disadvantageous that the required service time and reaction time are considerable are. In addition, noise can cause airborne sound waves that lead to incorrect operation.
  • the actuator is characterized by the features specified in claim 1.
  • claim 21 a equipped with the actuator kitchen or office furniture or a kitchen appliance or a kitchen appliance is specified.
  • an actuating device wherein the control means comprises two structure-borne sound sensors (solid-state sound sensors), one of which is assigned to the front element and the other the body, for example, a furniture carcass inner wall or eg an outer wall of a kitchen appliance.
  • Such structure-borne sound sensors - often called knock sensors - can react to vibrations or knock signals or vibrations on the front element and are concealed, for example, behind a front panel to arrange.
  • a front panel to arrange.
  • another structure-borne noise sensor is provided, which has a different sensor orientation than the front panel sound sensor provided on the front panel.
  • the latter extends with its sensor orientation on a person standing in front of the front element and is thus aligned transversely to a front panel.
  • the body acoustic energy sensor is aligned at a different angle to the sensor orientation of the front body sound sensor, preferably in about 90 °, so that it responds to from inside the body or other places in a room or other machines, caused by people noise, causing different sound signal level on the front body sound sensor and be generated on the body sound system.
  • these levels are compared with each other and evaluated using a stored there signal database that is sure to determine whether a knock and thus structure-borne noise signal applied to the front body sound sensor that requires opening by the operator and thus represents the command signal.
  • Knocks a person to the front this signal is immediately detected and forwarded directly. If there is no other signal, for example caused by a false noise, on the carcass sensor, the drive is activated since, due to the different orientation of the carcass sensors, the knocking signal is not detected or only to a limited extent. If this command signal is present, the evaluation unit again generates a signal, so that via the control means the drive unit is activated in the sense of opening the front panel with associated extract, tray and the like, a door panel of a dishwasher or the like. Thus, the actuator is extremely fast, safe and sensitive to activate.
  • the sensitivity of the structure-borne sound signals is to be adjusted so that impact sound signals and the like are first eliminated within a wide range.
  • a high degree of security is available, so that false triggering is almost impossible.
  • an actuating device is provided which allows a functionally reliable manner a motorized opening of the front element with the extract, the tray or the like, but this is not impaired in its external appearance.
  • the structure-borne sound or knock signal generated on the front element is transmitted wirelessly by radio control means to the evaluation unit.
  • This can then be the signal that was determined due to the signal comparison of the front sound and the body sound signal, in turn wirelessly transmitted to the drive unit but also by means of a cable connection to the drive unit, which then transferred at a detected opening knock signal then the front element together with the extract in the open position.
  • a furniture is preferably equipped such that the connection between an actuating means of the drive unit and the front element is decoupled and the actuating means of the drive unit is moved back to a starting position. Thereafter, the front element is to be transferred together with its extracts by hand in the closed position.
  • furniture are provided with extracts that are extendable via telescopic elements that require a synchronization of the telescopic parts at least at certain intervals, is to provide in such a piece of furniture according to the invention, that after retraction of the actuating means, this again assumes a slightly extended waiting position with the drawer still open and waits in this position for the drawer to be closed or the front element to be closed.
  • the adjusting means again engages the front element and moves it with the aid of the drive unit in its closed end position, at the same time telescopic parts of the extract are synchronized.
  • an actuator is preferably provided on the front panel.
  • the control means comprise a reciprocating trigger unit, which is brought by the actuator during the closing movement of the front panel from a zero position to a switching position. After reaching the switching position coupling pieces are activated on the actuating means and the actuating means such that they seize the front panel and transfer by means of the drive unit in the final closed position.
  • the motoric pulling also eliminates slippage. If the front element has reached its closed end position, it is in turn decoupled from the actuating means, so that, in addition to the motorized opening, a manual mounting is also possible thereafter.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 is shown in a general schematic view of a cross-sectional view through a piece of furniture according to the invention.
  • the furniture should be a tall cabinet with a furniture body 2 and a front element 3, to which a non-illustrated extract element in the furniture body interior 4 is connected.
  • This should be supported on telescopic rails and can be converted by means of a drive 5 in its open position.
  • two sensors are shown, namely, once a front body sound sensor 6 and a body sound sensor Front body sound sensor is designed as a radio sensor that sends its signals to a receiver from which the signal not shown in detail control means is supplied.
  • the control means also receive the reference signal of the structure-borne noise sensor 7. This can also be done wirelessly, but also via conductors.
  • the signals are compared and in response to this signal comparison result, the drive is activated for driving the front element 3, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • Fig. 1 a situation is shown in which an operator knocks on the front element 3.
  • structure-borne noise signals are generated, which are directed in the direction of the arrows 8
  • Fig. 2 a situation is illustrated in which the body, that is knocked on the side of the body 2, which generates sound waves in the direction of the arrow 9.
  • the drive unit 5 is illustrated in more detail with the actuating means 11.
  • the drive unit 5 has a housing 10 and as a retractable and extendable adjusting means 11, a rack member.
  • the adjusting means 11 has a coupling piece 12 with two fork claws 12.1 and 12.2, the fork-up and zuzubuachen, against the force of a spring.
  • the control means not shown in more detail and the result of the comparison of the received and evaluated structure-borne sound signals.
  • the adjusting means 11 is shown in the extended state, and in Fig.
  • This waiting position is approached after the front element 3 or the extract is brought by means of the actuating means 11 and the drive unit 5 in the fully open end position, after which the fork claws 12.1 and 12.2 are released and the actuating means 11 in its housing located in the rear end position ( Fig. 4 ) arrives. If this end position is reached, via the control means and the drive unit 5, the in Fig. 5 approached shown waiting position.
  • the Fig. 6 and 7 show a detail of the furniture with front element 3 and drive 5, once in plan view and once in a side view, in the waiting position according to Fig. 5 ,
  • the furniture body 2 can be seen, to which the drive 5 is screwed.
  • the front element 3 with the front body sound sensor 6 and at the back of the front element 3, a handle or bracket 13 which can be encompassed by the fork claws 12.1 and 12.2.
  • an actuator 14 is mounted, which can drive between the fork claws 12.1 and 12.2 during a closing movement of the front element 3 and the associated with this excerpt 3.1 and can meet there on a trigger unit that carries the reference numeral 15 in the embodiment and as spring-loaded reciprocating shift rod is formed.
  • Fig. 8 and 9 is in each case analogous to the Fig. 6 and 7 shown a state where the front element 3 was brought together with the extract manually shortly before reaching the Endsch practitioner towards the furniture body 2 during its closing movement and where the mounted on the front panel 3 actuator 14 is threaded between the fork jaws 12.1 and 12.2 and shortly before contacting the Shift rod 15 is.
  • this shift rod is in the Fig. 10 and 11 represented, whereupon the fork claws 12.1, 12.2 are actuated with the actuating means 11 such that the handle 13 is encompassed and, for the purpose of eliminating slippage, the front element 3 is pulled by a motor into the final closed position. Thereafter, the front element 3 is decoupled again, so that the electric drive 5 releases the front element again, as the Fig. 12 and 13 show, so that the front element 3 can also be reared manually, but can be driven by a motor in the above-described sense even with a knock signal on the actuating means.
  • control means ensure that the adjusting means 11 in the form of the rack carries out an idle stroke and returns to its starting position.
  • a microphone may also be provided to detect airborne sound signals, which are also fed to the evaluation unit, not shown.
  • the actuator is suitable for use in kitchen furniture, kitchen appliances, kitchen appliances, office furniture, goods dispensers and in the ergonomics.
  • Kitchen electric appliances include, for example, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, freezers, cookers, extractor hoods and microwave devices in question, in which openable functional elements are to be opened via the actuating device by means of a knocking signal.
  • solid-state sound sensors are piezo elements, which are possibly additionally provided with a seismic mass, strain gauges (DMS), which may also be additionally provided with a seismic mass, acceleration sensors, mechanical vibration switch and the like in question.
  • DMS strain gauges
  • various devices or furniture are shown in which a prescribed actuator can be used. They are in each case common that the respective furniture body, so for example the dishwasher body, a refrigerator body, a furniture body, a baking oven body, a cabinet body, a microwave body, etc. is provided with a front 3, which still with an additional front panel, such as a kitchen front 3.1 ( Fig. 15a ) can be provided. In the region of this front 3 of the front impact sound sensor 6 is arranged, the sound sensor is oriented perpendicular to the transverse extent of the front.
  • body sound sensor 7 is provided on the outer wall of the dishwasher body 2 with a structure-borne sound sensor orientation, which is aligned perpendicular or at a right angle to the sound orientation of the front sensor.
  • the corresponding signals are detected and evaluated and it is passed a corresponding opening signal to the drive 5, so that in the embodiment of the Fig. 15a and 16b similar to the embodiments of the Fig. 16a to 22b the corresponding front elements are to be pivoted down or to the side.
