Definitions

  • the invention relates to an automatic furniture drawer activation system.
  • Activation means the automatic opening on detection of a command which can be a simple push exerted by a user on the drawer or any other command, electrical, radiofrequency, voice or infrared or a passive command such as the recognition of a personal identification provided by a mobile phone by means of a Bluetooth link, for example.
  • the invention finds applications in the field of furniture for professional or domestic use.
  • the system described in this application comprises an ejection mechanism and a drawer movement sensor capable of triggering the ejection mechanism.
  • the detector is placed next to the ejection mechanism.
  • the motion detector triggers the ejection of the drawer when the latter has moved a predetermined distance, under the pressure exerted by a user, by activating the ejection device, this motor being placed in the control device.
  • the system comprises a drive mechanism of an ejection lever, the lever being mechanically coupled to this mechanism.
  • the ejection lever is actuated by a push of the drawer.
  • This system also requires precision when mounting because the lever can be permanently solicited if it bears against the drawer.
  • the distance of the drawer in the closed position is adjusted so that the detection can take place when the drawer moves after being pushed by a user.
  • the distance adjustment to ensure detection requires that the mounting of the drawer in the support furniture is made with great precision that can not exceed a few millimeters. Unfortunately, the tolerances in mass production are sometimes greater than the required accuracy. To these tolerances related to the manufacture of the furniture, are added differences related to the mounting of the drawers on the support furniture and the mounting of the automatic activation system fixed on a frame itself attached to the back of the furniture.
  • the installation is done by installers at the customers and must therefore be a simple and fast operation to limit costs.
  • EP2067418 is considered the closest state of the art.
  • This document describes an automatic activation system comprising an ejection device and a mechanically coupled ejection control device mounted at the bottom of furniture.
  • this document does not describe an ejection control device comprising a drawer presence detector adapted to detect the closed position of the drawer, and a mechanism for automatically adjusting the positioning of the ejection device so that the latter approach to the maximum of the drawer in the closed position and thus be in the waiting position ready to trigger the ejection of the drawer.
  • none of the documents describes an automatic activation system allowing triggering from a pressure detection of the drawer or a signal received by a receiver thus providing security in case of malfunction of one of the two modes. activating the ejection trigger or, providing security, by conditioning the ejection by the presence of a dual command namely the detection of pressure and the signal received by the receiver and transmitted by a remote device.
  • the Exhibitor sought to solve the problem of the duration of the assembly of the automatic activation systems during the installation of the furniture in order to reduce the costs for the customers while proposing a simple, reliable and economically competitive system.
  • the Depositor offers an alternative solution that eliminates the positioning tolerances with respect to the drawer and thus saves assembly time thus avoiding additional costs.
  • the present invention more particularly relates to an automatic activation system of a furniture drawer according to claim 1.
  • the closed position is provided by the presence detector.
  • the positioning adjustment mechanism is implemented by a microcontroller.
  • the present invention also relates to an automatic activation system of a furniture drawer whose opening is secured according to claim 12.
  • the automatic activation system can be mounted quickly without the installer being forced to obtain a high positioning accuracy. Adjusting the positioning of the ejection device allowing the latter to be flush with the drawer in the closed position and to be in the detection position, that is to say ready to receive an activation signal of the triggering of ejection on a command that may correspond to a detection or reception of a signal or to a detection and reception of a signal.
  • the drawer ejection device comprises a pressure detector providing a contact detection signal with the drawer useful to the mechanism of positioning adjustment and control for receiving an activation signal of the triggering of the ejection.
  • the opening control is obtained according to this first embodiment by the detection of a pressure exerted by the drawer. The pressure exerted by a user on the drawer is transmitted by the latter, which then activates the triggering of the ejection.
  • the opening command is obtained by means of a signal transmitted by a receiver controlled by a remote device operating with or without a wire, for example a touch-controlled circuit or an infrared or radio-frequency remote control or voice or an identification signal provided by a mobile phone recognized by the receiver.
  • the two opening commands are provided and coupled by an "OR” or “AND” logical function. This function is for example programmed in the control device.
  • This configuration provides security in the event of a malfunction of one of the two modes of activation of the ejection trigger or a security conditioned by a dual command.
  • the logical function "OR" makes it possible to obtain a trigger from a pressure detection of the drawer or a signal received by the receiver.
  • This signal can be emitted by any command, electrical, radiofrequency, voice or infrared or a passive command such as the recognition of a personal identification provided by a mobile phone for example.
  • the logic function "AND" makes it possible to obtain a trigger from a pressure detection and a signal received by the receiver.
  • This solution is particularly advantageous for securing the opening of the drawer conditioned by the presence of two opening commands.
  • the solution makes it possible to avoid nuisance tripping which may be caused by children having fun pressing the drawer.
  • this solution provides a safety function against inadvertent or unauthorized opening and more particularly vis-à-vis children.
  • the invention also relates to a furniture equipped with an activation system as described below.
  • the automatic activation system is mounted at the bottom of the furniture and according to the examples that follow, on the rear floor 40 of the furniture 4 in which is housed the drawer 3.
  • a lighting of the drawer not shown in the figures can be provided. It may further be provided that the automatic activation system activates, together with the opening of the drawer, the lighting provided for this purpose.
  • the furniture 4 on which is set up the activation system of the drawer 3 has slides on the side walls, not shown in this block diagram but which are visible on the drawings of practical embodiment Figures 2 to 4 .
  • the drawer 3 is guided in its race by the slides and can thus move from an open position figure 2 in a closed position figure 3 in the accommodation reserved for him.
  • the "actuated" drawer position shown on the figure 4 can be obtained through the presence of a device 31 for absorbing and returning mechanical energy such as a spring or an elastic buffer disposed between the drawer and the front faces of the side walls 41 of the furniture.
  • the absorption device - energy recovery 31 allows a user to exert a slight pressure on the front face of the drawer, the device is compressed under the effect of this pressure, so that the drawer, then comes to press against the side walls of the furniture.
  • the compression length corresponds to the game indicated on the figure 2 , this game is no longer visible on the figure 4 because the drawer has been pressured by a user wishing to trigger the activation.
  • the activation system comprises a device for controlling the ejection 1 of the drawer 3 and an ejection device 2 causing the opening of the latter.
  • the ejection device 2 is movement so as to exert pressure on the rear bottom 30 of the drawer 3 causing its opening.
  • the device for controlling the activation of the drawer 1 comprises a presence detector of the drawer 10, a motor 11 for driving the ejection device 2 and a microcontroller 12 in connection with the ejection device 2 and with the detector of presence 10.
  • the ejection device 2 comprises a cam 20 mechanically coupled to the control device 1.
  • the cam is connected to the motor 11.
  • This device 2 also comprises a pressure detector 21. The detector is on the cam 20.
  • the cam 20 is mechanically coupled to the drive motor 11.
  • the pressure sensor 21 When the pressure sensor 21 has detected a pressure of the spool, the motor 11 is put into operation and causes the movement of the cam which then exerts a thrust against the drawer causing it to be ejected.
  • control device 1 comprises the presence detector 10 of the drawer and the mechanism for adjusting the positioning of the ejection device 2 in the detection position, this detection occurs, in this example, during a pressure exerted by the drawer.
  • the positioning adjustment mechanism is implemented by the presence detection of the drawer provided by the presence detector 10. This occurs when the drawer is in the closed position figure 2 .
  • Adjusting the positioning of the ejection device 2 in the detection position then allows the latter to be ready to detect by means of the pressure sensor 21, a pressure of the drawer and cause its ejection.
  • the detection is thus freed from any positioning error related to the mounting of the system on the furniture.
  • the triggering of the ejection is effected by the pressure sensor placed on the ejection device 2.
  • the latter is flush with the rear wall of the drawer by virtue of the positioning adjustment which has been made when the drawer has been closed.
  • the contactor 10 providing the presence detection is in the depressed position causing a variation of resistance on the potentiometer 13.
  • This resistance variation signal is transmitted to the microcontroller 12.
  • the microcontroller 12 then implements the positioning adjustment mechanism. To this end, the microcontroller triggers the drive motor 11 of the cam 20 which performs a rearward movement to a reference position, then before detection of a contact with the drawer to know its distance from at the reference position and come to be positioned at a very small distance from the drawer and, preferably at a zero distance flush with the drawer.
  • This contact detection is carried out by means of the pressure detector 21.
  • the microcontroller 12 calculates the distance of the spool with respect to the reference and can thus drive the drive motor of the cam so that this last move the cam to the calculated position, that is to say to a position pending detection.
  • the ejection device 2 is in the waiting position of detection and is ready to trigger the ejection of the drawer.
  • the automatic opening control of the drawer is obtained by means of the receiver 22 controlled by a remote device 23 operating with a wired link such as a touch-sensitive or wireless control circuit such as an infrared or radio-frequency or voice remote control or an identification signal provided by a mobile phone recognized by the receiver or its application program.
  • a wired link such as a touch-sensitive or wireless control circuit such as an infrared or radio-frequency or voice remote control or an identification signal provided by a mobile phone recognized by the receiver or its application program.
  • the operation of the ejection control device (1) is the same as that described above.
  • the opening command is obtained by means of the receiver 22 which transmits a signal to the microcontroller 12.
  • the receiver 22 is itself controlled by the remote device 23.
  • the device 23 can be realized by a touch control fixed on a flat face near the drawer, accessible by the user. It may be for example a flat face of the furniture or worktop under which the furniture is installed.
  • This device 23 can also be achieved by a remote control infrared or radio frequency or conventional voice or by one or more mobile phones having a Bluetooth connection.
  • the receiver in this case has an application program that recognizes the identification or identifications of mobile phones thus generating a passive command since only the presence of the phone allows the receiver to generate the opening control signal.
  • the absorption-energy restoring device 31 allowing a user to exert a slight pressure on the front face of the drawer is not useful in this embodiment and has been shown in dotted lines.
  • the absorption-energy restitution device 31 is present and the two opening commands are logically coupled by an "OR” or by an “AND”. This coupling can be obtained by the microcontroller 12 which is then programmed for this purpose.
  • An "OR" logic function makes it possible to obtain a triggering by detecting a pressure by means of the detector 21 or by a signal received and generated by the receiver 22 and transmitted to the microcontroller 12.
  • This configuration provides security in case of malfunction of one of the two modes of activation of the ejection trigger.
  • An "AND" logic function makes it possible to obtain a trigger in the presence of a pressure detection by the detector 21 and of the signal received and generated by the receiver 22.
  • This solution is particularly advantageous in order to avoid nuisance tripping which can be caused in particular by children having fun while pressing the drawer.
  • this solution provides a "child safety" function.
  • the remote device 23 which can be a remote control or a touch device or an interface voice or one (or more) mobile phones.
