Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Übertragung elektrischer Energie zwischen einem an einem Möbelkorpus angeordneten Versorgungsbauteil und einem an einem relativ zum Möbelkorpus beweglichen Möbelteil gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, sowie ein Möbel gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 12.The present invention relates to a device for transmitting electrical energy between a arranged on a furniture carcass supply component and a movable relative to a furniture body furniture part according to the preamble of claim 1, and a piece of furniture according to the preamble of claim 12.

Derartige Vorrichtungen und Möbel sind beispielsweise aus der EP 1260158 A2 bekannt. Bei Möbeln, welche über elektrische Einrichtungen, wie beispielsweise Beleuchtungen in relativ zu einem Korpus beweglichen Möbelteilen verfügen, werden gattungsgemäße Vorrichtungen verwendet, die elektrische Leitungen mit ausreichender Länge zwischen dem Korpus des Möbels und einem beweglichen Möbelteil aufweisen. Dies schränkt die Nutzung des Möbels stark ein und kann aufgrund möglicher Kabelbrüche im Laufe der Lebensdauer des Möbels zu Ausfällen führen. Außerdem sind bekannte Selbsteinzugsfunktionen sowie elektrische Antriebe zum Ausstoßen von beweglichen Möbelteilen aufgrund solcher Leitungen nur noch eingeschränkt funktionsfähig.Such devices and furniture are for example from the EP 1260158 A2 known. In furniture, which have electrical equipment, such as lighting in relative to a body movable furniture parts, generic devices are used, which have electrical cables with sufficient length between the body of the furniture and a movable furniture part. This severely restricts the use of the furniture and may result in failure due to possible cable breaks over the life of the furniture. In addition, known Selbsteinzugsfunktionen and electric drives for ejecting movable furniture parts due to such lines only limited functional.

Als Lösung wurde in der Vergangenheit eine Energie- und Datenübertragung durch eine berührungslose induktive Übertragungsstrecke genutzt. Diese Systeme haben jedoch den Nachteil, dass die Übertragungsstrecke mit hohen Verlusten arbeitet und nur sehr geringe Leistungen übertragbar sind.The solution used in the past was an energy and data transmission through a non-contact inductive transmission link. However, these systems have the disadvantage that the transmission line operates at high losses and only very low power can be transmitted.

Aus der DE 20 2005 006 945 U1 ist ein Öffnungs- und Schließsystem bekannt, bei dem die Stromversorgung einer an dem beweglichen Möbelteil angeordneten Steuereinheit, wie oben beschrieben, über ein Kabel mit ausreichender Länge oder über eine leitfähige Schubladenführung erfolgt.From the DE 20 2005 006 945 U1 An opening and closing system is known in which the power supply to a arranged on the movable furniture part control unit, as described above, via a cable with sufficient length or via a conductive drawer guide.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung zur Übergabe elektrischer Energie zwischen zueinander beweglichen Möbelteilen bereitzustellen, mit der sich eine ausreichende Energie übertragen lässt, und durch die die Funktionalität gattungsgemäßer Möbel nicht eingeschränkt wird.The object of the invention is to provide a device for transferring electrical energy between mutually movable furniture parts, with which sufficient energy can be transferred, and by the functionality of generic furniture is not limited.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1 und durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 12.The invention achieves this object by the subject matter of claim 1 and by the subject matter of claim 12.

Nach dem Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 weist die Vorrichtung ein Versorgungsbauteil auf, das eine mit einer elektrischen Steuerschaltung gekoppelte Positionserkennungseinrichtung und einen von der elektrischen Steuerschaltung steuerbaren Elektromagneten aufweist, sowie ein Abnehmerbauteil, das ein magnetisches Element aufweist, wobei sich der Elektromagnet und das magnetische Element in einer Schließstellung des beweglichen Möbelteiles gegenüberstehen, so dass die Kontaktsätze durch eine Aktivierung des Elektromagneten durch Steuerschaltung miteinander in Kontakt bringbar sind.According to the characterizing part of claim 1, the device has a supply component, which is coupled to an electrical control circuit position detection device and controllable by the electrical control circuit Electromagnets, as well as a pickup member having a magnetic element, wherein the electromagnet and the magnetic element in a closed position of the movable furniture part are facing, so that the contact sets by activation of the electromagnet by control circuit can be brought into contact with each other.

Dadurch ist ermöglicht, dass sich über mechanisch wirkende Kontakte eine elektrische Energie zwischen einem Möbelkorpus und einem relativ zu diesem beweglichen Möbelteil übertragen lässt, die ausreicht, die im beweglichen Möbelteil eingebrachten elektrischen Einrichtungen zu betreiben. Die übertragbare Energie ist dabei im Wesentlichen nur über die Ausführung der Kontakte begrenzt. Es ist außerdem unwesentlich durch elektromagnetische Phänomene zu stören und führt umgekehrt auch kaum zu derartigen Störungen in der Umgebung. Außerdem wird keine feste Verbindung zwischen dem Möbelkorpus und dem beweglichem Möbelteil durch eine elektrische Leitung benötigt, so dass beispielsweise die Funktion eines mechanischen Selbsteinzuges, einer Dämpfungs- und/oder Ausstoßeinrichtung nicht behindert wird. Auch eine unerwünschte Geräuschentwicklung, wie sie beispielsweise bei Schleifkontakten auftritt, wird hier vermieden. Vorteilhaft ist außerdem, dass die Vorrichtung sich auch nachträglich in Möbelteile integrieren lässt.This makes it possible that via mechanically acting contacts an electrical energy between a furniture body and a relative to this movable furniture part can be transferred, which is sufficient to operate the introduced in the movable furniture part electrical equipment. The transferable energy is essentially limited only by the design of the contacts. It is also immaterial to disturb by electromagnetic phenomena and conversely hardly leads to such disturbances in the environment. In addition, no firm connection between the furniture body and the movable furniture part is required by an electrical line, so that, for example, the function of a mechanical Selbsteinzuges, a damping and / or ejection device is not hindered. Also, an undesirable noise, such as occurs with sliding contacts, is avoided here. It is also advantageous that the device can also be subsequently integrated into furniture parts.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Advantageous developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Durch die Ausbildung der Positionserkennungseinrichtung als lichtschrankenähnliche Einrichtung nach dem Optokoppler-Prinzip ist eine einfache und zuverlässige Positionserkennung des beweglichen Möbelteils ermöglicht.Due to the design of the position detection device as a light barrier-like device according to the optocoupler principle, a simple and reliable position detection of the movable furniture part is possible.

In einer besonderen Ausführungsform ist das magnetische Element an dem Kontaktsatz des Abnehmerbauteils angeordnet und der Kontaktsatz an dem Abnehmerbauteil bewegbar in Richtung des Kontaktsatzes des Versorgungsbauteils angeordnet. Dadurch ist ermöglicht, dass ein an einem beweglichen Möbelteil angeordnetes Abnehmerbauteil nicht bereits während des Einlaufens des beweglichen Möbelteiles in seine Schließstellung mit dem Versorgungsbauteil in Kontakt tritt, sondern erst in der vordefinierten Endstellung des beweglichen Möbelteils.In a particular embodiment, the magnetic element is arranged on the contact set of the pickup component and the contact set on the pickup component is movably arranged in the direction of the contact set of the supply component. This makes it possible for a pickup component arranged on a movable furniture part not already to come into contact with the supply component during the running-in of the movable furniture part, but only in the predefined end position of the movable furniture part.

Vorzugsweise verrastet der Kontaktsatz des Abnehmerbauteils über ein mechanisch verriegeltes Element mit dem Kontaktsatz des Versorgungsbauteils, um den Elektromagneten stromlos zu schalten. Somit wird nur in den Zeitphasen des Einfahrens und Ausfahrens des Schubkasten eine Versorgungsspannung für die Magneteinrichtung benötigt.Preferably, the contact set of the pickup member locks via a mechanically locked element with the contact set of the supply member to the Electromagnet to de-energize. Thus, a supply voltage for the magnetic device is required only in the time phases of retraction and extension of the drawer.

Gemäß einer besonderen Ausführungsform weist die elektrische Steuerschaltung eine Verzögerungseinheit auf, die so geschaltet ist, dass eine Energieversorgung des Elektromagneten zeitlich verzögert auf ein Signal der Positionserkennungseinrichtung erfolgt. Dadurch ist ermöglicht, dass beispielsweise eine Selbsteinzugesvorrichtung eines beweglichen Möbelteils die erforderliche Endlage sicher ungebremst erreichen kann, bevor eine Energieversorgung des beweglichen Möbelteiles erfolgt. Des Weiteren wird durch die verzögerte Energieversorgung die Bildung von Abrissfunken minimiert, die zu verstärktem Abbrand und Verschleiß der Kontakte führen.According to a particular embodiment, the electrical control circuit has a delay unit, which is connected so that a power supply of the electromagnet is delayed in time to a signal of the position detection device. This makes it possible, for example, that a self-closing device of a movable furniture part can safely reach the required end position unrestrained before an energy supply of the movable furniture part takes place. Furthermore, the delayed energy supply minimizes the formation of tearing sparks that lead to increased burnup and wear of the contacts.

Analog dazu kann die Verzögerungseinheit auch beim Bewegen des Schubkastens in Auszugsrichtung wirken.Similarly, the delay unit can also act when moving the drawer in the extension direction.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Relais bistabil ausgeführt, wobei es nach dem Abschalten der Erregungsgröße im erreichten Schaltzustand verbleibt. Ein weiterer Erregungsvorgang sorgt für eine Rückkehr in den Ausgangszustand.In a preferred embodiment, the relay is designed bistable, and it remains after switching off the excitation variable in the achieved switching state. Another excitation process provides for a return to the initial state.

Denkbar als weitere Ausführungsvariante ist auch eine spezielle Bauform der Kontakte, indem diese federformartige Verlängerungen besitzen, die sich über eine gewisse Wegstrecke elastisch verformen lassen. Mit Öffnen bzw. Schließen des Schubkastens wird zunächst der Federweg ausgenutzt und erst nach dem Deaktivieren bzw. Aktivieren öffnen bzw. schließen die elektrischen Kontakte ihre Verbindung.Conceivable as a further embodiment is also a special design of the contacts by having these spring-like extensions, which can be deformed elastically over a certain distance. By opening or closing the drawer, first the spring travel is utilized and only after deactivation or activation do the electrical contacts open or close their connection.

Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, das Versorgungsbauteil seitlich am Möbelkorpus und das Abnehmerbauteil seitlich am beweglichen Möbelteil festzulegen.Of course, it is also possible to fix the supply component laterally on the furniture body and the pickup component laterally on the movable furniture part.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung unter Bezug auf die Zeichnungen anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Die Positionserkennungseinrichtung 25, 34 ist bevorzugt als lichtschrankenähnliche Einrichtung ausgebildet, wobei in der Seite der Gehäusekammer 37, in dem auch die Ausnehmung vorgesehen ist, durch den der Spulenkern 22 der Spule 14 hindurch ragt, eine Senderdiode 25 integriert ist, der gegenüber an der Gehäusewand 38 eine Empfängerdiode 34 angeordnet ist.The position detection device 25, 34 is preferably designed as a device similar to a light barrier, wherein in the side of the housing chamber 37, in which the recess is provided, through which the coil core 22 of the coil 14 protrudes, a transmitter diode 25 is integrated, opposite to the housing wall 38, a receiver diode 34 is arranged.

Zur Unterbrechung dieser Lichtschranke ist an dem Abnehmerbauteil 32 ein Schenkel 15 vorgesehen, welcher beim Einfahren des beweglichen Möbelteils 5 in den Möbelkorpus 31 zwischen die Senderdiode 25 und die Empfängerdiode 34 in eine Gehäusefreimachung des Gehäuses 12 eintaucht und dabei den Lichtstrahl der lichtschrankenähnlichen Einrichtung unterbricht. Als Gehäusefreimachung ist hier die Lücke zwischen der Wandung 38 des Gehäuses und der Kammer 37 zu verstehen. Die als lichtschrankenähnliche Einrichtung ausgebildete Positionserkennungseinrichtung ist mit der Steuerschaltung 36 so gekoppelt, dass die Steuerschaltung 36 diese Unterbrechung erkennt und daraufhin eine elektrische Versorgung der Spule 14 ansteuert.To interrupt this light barrier, a leg 15 is provided on the pickup component 32, which is immersed in the furniture body 31 between the transmitter diode 25 and the receiver diode 34 in a housing clearing of the housing 12 during retraction of the movable furniture part 5 and thereby interrupts the light beam of the light barrier-like device. As a housing clearing here is the gap between the wall 38 of the housing and the chamber 37 to understand. The position detection device embodied as a light barrier-like device is coupled to the control circuit 36 in such a way that the control circuit 36 recognizes this interruption and then activates an electrical supply to the coil 14.

Vorzugsweise kann diese Spannungsversorgung dabei mit einer geringen zeitlichen Verzögerung erfolgen, damit beispielsweise eine Selbsteinzugsvorrichtung eines Schubkastensystems die erforderliche Endlage sicher ungebremst erreichen kann, bevor das Versorgungsbauteil 33 mit dem Abnehmerbauteil 32 elektrisch in Kontakt tritt.Preferably, this power supply can be done with a slight delay, so that, for example, a self-closing device of a drawer system safely reach the required end position without braking can before the supply member 33 with the pickup member 32 electrically contacts.

Durch die elektromagnetische Wirkung der Spule 14 wird der Spulenkern 22 magnetisiert und zieht das magnetische Element 35 an. Durch die Verbindung der Magneteinrichtung 22, 35 werden die Kontaktsätze 16, 17 des Abnehmerbauteils 32 in Richtung der Kontaktsätze 23, 24 des Versorgungsbauteils 33 gezogen und kontaktieren die Kontaktsätze 23, 24 des Versorgungsbauteils 33. Dadurch ist eine Energieversorgung des beweglichen Möbelteils 5 über die an dem Möbelkorpus 31 in den Versorgungsbauteil 33 angeordneten Kontaktsätze 23, 24, welche über ein Elektrokabel 18 mit elektrischer Energie versorgt werden, ermöglicht. Die Spannungsversorgung der Spule 14 und der Steuerschaltung 36 erfolgt bevorzugt über ein separates Elektrokabel 19.Due to the electromagnetic effect of the coil 14 of the coil core 22 is magnetized and attracts the magnetic element 35 at. As a result of the connection of the magnetic device 22, 35, the contact sets 16, 17 of the pickup component 32 are pulled in the direction of the contact sets 23, 24 of the supply component 33 and contact the contact sets 23, 24 of the power supply component 33 the furniture body 31 in the supply member 33 arranged contact sets 23, 24, which are supplied via an electric cable 18 with electrical energy, allows. The voltage supply to the coil 14 and the control circuit 36 is preferably via a separate electric cable 19.

Nach dem Abschalten der Versorgungsspannung der Spule 14 federn die Kontaktsätze 16, 17 wieder zurück in ihre Ausgangsstellung. Dabei wird die elektrische Verbindung zwischen den Kontaktsätzen 16, 17, 23, 24 wieder unterbrochen.After switching off the supply voltage of the coil 14, the contact sets 16, 17 spring back into their starting position. The electrical connection between the contact sets 16, 17, 23, 24 is interrupted again.

In einer besonderen Ausführungsvariante sind die Kontaktsätze 16, 17, 23, 24 mechanisch ineinander verrastbar ausgeführt. Dadurch kann nach dem Anziehen der Magneteinrichtung 22, 35 die Spule 14 stromlos geschaltet werden, ohne die elektrische Verbindung zwischen den Kontaktsätzen 16, 17, 23, 24 zu unterbrechen. Die mechanische Rastung wird wieder aufgehoben, indem beispielsweise das bewegliche Möbelteil 5 in "auf" -Richtung betätigt wird. Alternativ könnte zur mechanischen Entrastung ein kurzer Hub in "zu" -Richtung erfolgen. In einer weiteren Alternative kann die Verrastung durch eine erneute Aktivierung der Spule 14 rückgängig gemacht werden.In a particular embodiment, the contact sets 16, 17, 23, 24 are mechanically interlocked. As a result, after tightening the magnetic device 22, 35, the coil 14 can be de-energized without interrupting the electrical connection between the contact sets 16, 17, 23, 24. The mechanical detent is canceled again, for example, by the movable furniture part 5 is operated in the "up" direction. Alternatively, a short stroke could be done in "to" direction for mechanical unlocking. In another alternative, the latching can be reversed by re-activating the coil 14.

Wie in Figur 8 dargestellt, ist dieses in der Art eines bistabilen Relais möglich. Dabei erfasst die Auslöseeinheit die Endlage des eingeschobenen Schubkastens. Die positive Signalflankenerkennung triggert die Signal-Zeitverzögerung an, die am Ausgang nach der voreingestellten Zeit einen Wischimpuls bereitstellt.As in FIG. 8 this is possible in the manner of a bistable relay. The trip unit detects the end position of the inserted drawer. The positive signal edge detection triggers the signal time delay, which provides a wiping pulse at the output after the preset time.
