Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a telescopic lifting column of a furniture part, in particular a height-adjustable furniture leg according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Generic lifting columns for such telescopic furniture parts for example in the form of height-adjustable furniture legs such as table legs and the like, are known in numerous variants of the prior art. They usually have a drive unit, which is usually attached to the furniture outside of the furniture leg and the two or more coupled spindles drives, which in turn are coupled via a driver to a respective pillar profile.
  • the column profiles are often cylindrical or configured as hollow columns with a square cross section, wherein the cross section or diameter of the outer column is slightly larger than the cross section or diameter of an inner column.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a telescopic lifting column of a furniture part, in the column profiles of different scales and differently shaped cross sections can be used.
  • the telescopic lifting column has, in addition to the drive unit, at least two column profiles which are movable into one another in the longitudinal direction of the column profiles.
  • a spindle nut secured against rotation relative to one of the column profiles can be moved by rotation in the longitudinal direction of the at least one spindle, wherein the rotationally secured spindle nut is in operative connection with one of the column profiles.
  • the at least one spindle nut is characterized in that it is designed as a multipart spindle nut and has an outer contour for the rotationally secured indirect operative connection with one of the column profiles.
  • the multi-part of the spindle nuts in particular has the advantage of ease of assembly, since the spindle nuts can be easily placed at any position of the spindle and does not need to be turned on the spindles in advance. This proves to be an advantage in particular when the spindle adapters for transmitting the rotational movement between the spindles to the spindles are welded in the course of a pre-assembly.
  • the multi-part of the driver and in particular the separation of spindle nuts and drivers is of great advantage, since the drive device itself can be maintained unchanged to change the cross section of the column profile. Only the drivers mounted on the spindle nuts need to be adjusted. This ensures relative design freedom and scalability of the outer pillar profiles.
  • the separation of the spindle nut and driver also has the great advantage that corresponding advantageous materials can be used for the individual components.
  • plain bearing materials are the preferred materials for the spindle nuts, while materials that can be easily bonded can be used for the drivers.
  • the Spindelmuttermaschine the multi-part spindle nut are according to a variant form-fitting and / or non-positively, in particular with latching connections joined together to keep them safely on the thread of the respective spindle.
  • the spindle nuts are preferably multi-part, in particular designed in two parts.
  • the at least one rotationally secured spindle nut and at least one of the column profiles are coupled to one another via a driver in order to achieve an indirect operative connection.
  • This driver is preferably also in several parts, in particular formed in two parts and preferably consists of a plastic, which has sufficient strength and can be bonded, in particular ABS or PE.
  • the driver parts of the multipart driver are preferably positive and / or non-positive, in particular with latching connections joined together.
  • each spindle nut part of the multipart spindle nut is the same. For a cost-effective production and storage of these components is possible.
  • each driver part of the multi-part carrier is preferably identical.
  • the driver parts of the multipart driver are preferably unequal.
  • sliding elements are fastened in at least one of the drivers on a parallel to the inner surface of the column profiles, which surround the spindles and the drive tube, extending outer surface, with which an exact guidance of the column profiles is ensured during the Teleskopierreaes.
  • the multi-part spindle nuts are arranged relative to the multi-part carriers in the mounted state on the respective spindle axially by at least 30 degrees, preferably by 90 degrees, offset from one another.
  • overlap the sectional areas of the split spindle nuts and drivers which in particular supports the fit of the spindle nuts on the thread of the respective spindle and ensures a secure embedding of the multi-part spindle nuts in the multi-part carriers.
  • the first spindle is designed as a hollow spindle and the second spindle as a full spindle, so that the hollow spindle in the drive tube and the full spindle in the hollow spindle can be moved.
  • top, bottom, left, right, front, back, etc. refer exclusively to the exemplary representation and position of the drive device, the drive tube, the spindle, the driver and the like chosen in the respective figures. These terms are not restrictive to understand, that is, by different working positions or the mirror-symmetrical design or the like, these references may change.
  • FIG. 1 A variant of an inventive drive device of a telescopic furniture part is in Fig. 1 shown as an exploded view in the form of a height-adjustable furniture leg, wherein the drive device of the furniture leg substantially from a drive unit 37, one of the drive unit 37 driven first spindle 26 (shown in FIG Fig. 4 ), on which a first rotationally secured spindle nut 28 can be moved by rotation in the longitudinal direction of the first spindle 26 and a second spindle 27 (shown in FIG. 1) that can be moved to the first spindle 26 in the longitudinal direction of the first spindle 26 Fig. 6 ), on which a second rotationally secured spindle nut 29 in the longitudinal direction of the second spindle 27 is movable.
  • the spindle nuts 28, 29 themselves are designed as multi-part spindle nuts, in particular as two-part spindle nuts 28, 29, wherein each of the spindle nuts 28, 29 in a sectional plane parallel to the longitudinal extent of the spindles 26, 27 and along a diameter of the cross section of the spindles in two Spindelmuttermaschine 28a, 28b and 29a, 29b are divided.
  • the drivers 7, 8 in driver parts 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b preferably divided into two halves.

  • connection plate 12 is preferably embedded in a pocket 44 formed thereon at the upper end of the innermost column profile 6 and preferably screwed there.
  • the drive unit 37 is fixed to this connection plate 12.
  • the first spindle adapter (not shown), which is operatively connected to the output shaft of the transmission of the drive unit 37, is fastened and engages in the hollow profile 57 of the drive tube 24 in the mounted state and puts this in operation of the motor 11 in rotation.
  • a first spindle 26 in the drive tube 24 in the longitudinal direction of the drive tube 24, a first spindle 26 can be moved, which drives a first driver 7 via a first spindle nut 28, which is in operative connection with the first column profile 6.
  • the first spindle 26 is rotated by the drive tube 24 in rotation, preferably via a second spindle adapter 25 attached to an upper end of the first spindle 26, which engages in an inner contour of the drive tube 24, wherein by the rotation of the first spindle 26 in the spindle nut 28, the spindle nut 28 moves in the longitudinal direction of the first spindle 26 up or down, thereby entraining the first driver 7 and thereby pushes the first pillar profile 6 up or down.
  • This first spindle 26 is preferably formed as a hollow spindle, in which a preferably designed as a full spindle second spindle 27 in the longitudinal direction Z of the spindle is movable.
  • the second spindle 27 drives via a second spindle nut 29, a second driver 8, which is in operative connection with a second column profile 5, in which the first column profile 6 in the longitudinal direction of the drive tube 24 or the column profile 5, 6 is movable.
