Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Möbel mit einem höhenverfahrbaren Möbelteil, mit einem elektrischen Hubantrieb zum Verfahren des Möbelteils, mit mindestens einem an der Unterseite des Möbelteils angeordneten Kontaktsensor und mit einer den Hubantrieb steuernden Steuerung, die bei Betätigung des Kontaktsensors das Herunterfahren des Möbelteils stoppt und das Möbelteil hochfährt, bis der Kontaktsensor wieder freigegeben ist.The invention relates to a piece of furniture with a height-adjustable furniture part, with an electric lifting drive for moving the furniture part, with at least one contact sensor arranged on the underside of the furniture part and with a control controlling the lifting drive which stops the furniture part when the contact sensor is actuated and the furniture part starts up until the contact sensor is released again.

Bei Küchen mit elektrisch höhenverfahrbarer Arbeitsplatte oder Arbeitsblock muss sichergestellt sein, dass die Arbeitsplatte, wenn sie beim Absenken auf ein Hindernis (z.B. auf die Oberschenkel eines Rollstuhlfahrers) trifft, stoppt und sofort wieder angehoben wird. Dazu ist an der Arbeitsplatte unterseitig eine elektrische Kontakt-Schaltleiste angeordnet, die beim Auftreffen auf ein Hindernis von einer offenen in eine geschlossene Schaltposition betätigt wird und dadurch einen elektrischen Stromkreis schließt, wodurch die Arbeitsplatte hochgefahren wird. Sobald die Arbeitsplatte vom Hindernis abgehoben ist, sollte die Schaltleiste wieder öffnen und danach die Arbeitsplatte eine sogenannte Revisionsfahrt über den gesamten Hub durchführen. Wenn die Schaltleiste trotz Anheben der Arbeitsplatte in ihrer geschlossenen Schaltposition bleibt, z.B. weil die Schaltleiste durch das Auftreffen auf das Hindernis verklemmt oder verbogen wurde, kann folglich keine Revisionsfahrt eingeleitet werden. Vielmehr fährt die Arbeitsplatte bis in ihre obere Endposition und kann, weil keine Revisionsfahrt stattgefunden hat, vom Bediener über die hierfür vorgesehenen Schalter der Steuerung nicht mehr abgesenkt werden.In the case of kitchens with an electrically height-adjustable worktop or worktop, it must be ensured that the worktop, when hit by an obstacle (such as the thighs of a wheelchair user) when lowered, stops and is lifted immediately. For this purpose, an electrical contact-switching strip is arranged on the underside of the worktop, which is actuated when hitting an obstacle from an open to a closed switching position, thereby closing an electrical circuit, whereby the worktop is raised. Once the worktop is lifted from the obstacle, the safety edge should open again and then perform the worktop a so-called revision drive over the entire stroke. If, despite lifting the worktop, the safety edge remains in its closed switching position, e.g. because the safety edge was jammed or bent by the impact on the obstacle, therefore, no revision drive can be initiated. Rather, the countertop moves to its upper end position and can, because no audit trip has taken place, are no longer lowered by the operator on the switch provided for this purpose control.

Demgegenüber ist es die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Möbel der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass bei verklemmtem oder verbogenem Kontaktsensor auf die an sich fällige Revisionsfahrt des höhenverfahrbaren Möbelteils nicht mehr gewartet zu werden braucht.In contrast, it is the object of the present invention to develop a piece of furniture of the type mentioned in that when jammed or bent contact sensor needs to be no longer waiting for the in itself due revision drive of the height-adjustable furniture part.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Steuerung eine Zeitverzögerung aufweist, die für den Fall, dass der Kontaktsensor nach einer vordefinierten Zeitspanne nach seiner Betätigung nicht wieder freigegeben ist, den Hubantrieb oder die Steuerung deaktiviert, insbesondere von einer Versorgungsspannung trennt. Vorzugsweise ist das höhenverfahrbare Möbelteil als eine Arbeitsplatte, ein Arbeitsblock oder als ein Schrank- oder Regalelement ausgebildet.This object is achieved in that the controller has a time delay, which in the event that the contact sensor is not released after a predefined period of time after its operation, the lifting drive or the controller, in particular disconnects from a supply voltage. Preferably, the height-adjustable furniture part is designed as a countertop, a work block or as a cabinet or shelf element.

Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt für Fall, dass nach Ablauf der vordefinierten Zeitspanne, während der das Möbelteil hochgefahren wird, der Kontaktsensor nicht wieder in seine offene Schaltposition zurückgekehrt ist und folglich keine Hindernis-Freigabe signalisiert hat, ein selbsttätiges Deaktivieren des Antriebes oder der Steuerung z.B. durch Trennen von der Netzspannung, um das Warten der Steuerung auf eine Revisionsfahrt zu beenden und eine weitere Betätigung durch den Bediener zu verhindern. Aufgrund einer Stromausfallsicherung, z.B. einer mechanischen Selbsthemmung des Möbelteils gegen selbsttätiges Absenken, verbleibt das Möbelteil dann in seiner angehobenen Position.According to the invention, in the event that after the predefined period of time during which the furniture part is started up, the contact sensor has not returned to its open switching position and consequently has signaled no obstacle release, an automatic deactivation of the drive or the control eg by disconnecting the mains voltage in order to stop the control waiting for a revision drive and to prevent further actuation by the operator. Due to a power failure protection, such as a mechanical self-locking of the furniture part against automatic lowering, the furniture part then remains in its raised position.

Besonders bevorzugt entspricht die vordefinierte Zeitspanne (z.B. 1 Sekunde) mindestens der Zeitspanne für einen maximalen Hub des höhenverfahrbaren Möbelteils, damit sich das Möbelteil in seiner oberen Endposition befindet, wenn der Hubantrieb oder die Steuerung von der Versorgungsspannung getrennt werden. Das Möbelteil verbleibt dann in seiner oberen Endposition.More preferably, the predefined amount of time (e.g., 1 second) corresponds to at least the maximum stroke of the height-adjustable furniture part to allow the furniture part to be in its upper end position when the lift drive or controller is disconnected from the supply voltage. The furniture part then remains in its upper end position.

Erfindungsgemäß sind ein einziger Kontaktschalter oder aber mehrere Kontaktschalter vorgesehen, die vorteilhaft als Kontakt-Schaltleiste(n) ausgebildet sein können.According to the invention, a single contact switch or a plurality of contact switches are provided, which can be advantageously designed as a contact-switching strip (s).

Weiterhin kann die Steuerung eine Anzeige aufweisen, die anzeigt, dass der Kontaktsensor nach einer vordefinierten Zeitspanne nach seiner Betätigung nicht wieder freigegeben ist.Furthermore, the controller may have a display that indicates that the contact sensor is not released after a predefined period of time after its actuation.

Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung, den Ansprüchen und der Zeichnung. Ebenso können die vorstehend genannten und die noch weiter aufgeführten Merkmale je für sich oder zu mehreren in beliebigen Kombinationen Verwendung finden. Die gezeigte und beschriebene Ausführungsform ist nicht als abschließende Aufzählung zu verstehen, sondern hat vielmehr beispielhaften Charakter für die Schilderung der Erfindung.Further advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description, the claims and the drawings. Likewise, the features mentioned above and the features listed further can be used individually or in combination in any combination. The embodiment shown and described is not to be understood as an exhaustive list, but rather has exemplary character for the description of the invention.

Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch ein erfindungsgemäßes Küchenmöbel mit einer höhenverfahrbaren Arbeitsplatte. Fig. 1 schematically shows an inventive kitchen furniture with a height-adjustable worktop.

Das Küchenmöbel umfasst einen feststehenden Möbelkorpus 1 mit einer höhenverfahrbaren Arbeitsplatte 2, einen elektrischen Hubantrieb 3 zum Verfahren der Arbeitsplatte 2, einen an der Unterseite der Arbeitsplatte 2 angeordneten Kontaktsensor 4 z.B. in Form einer elektrischen Kontakt-Schaltleiste, und eine den Hub des Hubantriebs 3 steuernde Steuerung 5. The kitchen furniture comprises a fixed furniture body 1 with a height-adjustable worktop 2, an electric lifting drive 3 for moving the worktop 2, a arranged on the underside of the worktop 2 contact sensor 4, for example, in the form of an electrical contact-switching strip, and a controller 5 controlling the stroke of the lifting drive 3 .

Wenn die Arbeitsplatte 2 beim Absenken mit ihrem Kontaktsensor 4 auf ein Hindernis (z.B. auf die Oberschenkel eines Rollstuhlfahrers) trifft, wird dadurch der Kontaktsensor 4 von einer offenen in eine geschlossene elektrische Schaltposition betätigt. Dadurch wird ein elektrischer Stromkreis der Steuerung 5 geschlossen, die daraufhin das Absenken der Arbeitsplatte 2 stoppt und die Arbeitsplatte 2 sofort wieder anhebt ("Bewegungsumkehr"), bis der Kontaktsensor 4 wieder freigegeben ist. Danach führt die Arbeitsplatte 2 eine sogenannte Revisionsfahrt über den gesamten Hub durch und kann erst dann wieder vom Bediener über die hierfür vorgesehenen Schalter der Steuerung 5 verfahren werden.When the work surface 2 encounters an obstacle (for example, the thighs of a wheelchair user) when lowering with its contact sensor 4, the contact sensor 4 is thereby actuated from an open to a closed electrical switching position. As a result, an electrical circuit of the controller 5 is closed, which then stops lowering the worktop 2 stops and the worktop 2 immediately raises again ("reversal of movement") until the contact sensor 4 is released again. Thereafter, the worktop 2 performs a so-called revision drive over the entire stroke and can only be moved again by the operator on the switch provided for this purpose, the controller 5.

Die Steuerung 5 weist eine Zeitverzögerung 6 auf, die für den Fall, dass der Kontaktsensor 4 nach einer vordefinierten Zeitspanne (z.B. 1 Sekunde) nach seiner Betätigung nicht wieder freigegeben ist, z.B. weil der Kontaktsensor 4 durch das Auftreffen auf das Hindernis verklemmt oder verbogen wurde, den Hubantrieb 3 oder die Steuerung 5 deaktiviert, insbesondere von einer Versorgungsspannung 7 trennt. Diese Deaktivierung ("Sicherheitsabschaltung") beendet das Warten der Steuerung 5 auf die Revisionsfahrt und verhindert auch eine weitere Betätigung durch den Bediener. Aufgrund einer Stromausfallsicherung, z.B. einer mechanischen Selbsthemmung der Arbeitsplatte 2 gegen selbsttätiges Absenken, verbleibt die Arbeitsplatte 2 dann in ihrer angehobenen Position.The controller 5 has a time delay 6 which, in the event that the contact sensor 4 is not released again after a predefined period of time (eg 1 second) after its actuation, for example because the contact sensor 4 has been jammed or bent by hitting the obstacle , the lifting drive 3 or the controller 5 is deactivated, in particular by a supply voltage 7 separates. This deactivation ("safety shutdown") stops the control 5 waiting for the revision drive and also prevents further operation by the operator. Due to a power failure protection, such as a mechanical self-locking of the worktop 2 against self-lowering, the worktop 2 then remains in its raised position.

Die vordefinierte Zeitspanne entspricht dabei vorzugsweise mindestens der Zeitspanne für einen maximalen Hub der höhenverfahrbaren Arbeitsplatte 2, so dass sich die Arbeitsplatte 2 nach der Sicherheitsabschaltung stets in ihrer oberen Endposition befindet.The predefined period of time preferably corresponds at least to the time span for a maximum stroke of the height-adjustable worktop 2, so that the worktop 2 is always in its upper end position after the safety shutdown.

Die Steuerung 5 weist weiterhin eine Anzeige 8 auf, die anzeigt, dass der Kontaktsensor 4 nach der vordefinierten Zeitspanne nach seiner Betätigung nicht wieder freigegeben worden ist.The controller 5 further has a display 8, which indicates that the contact sensor 4 has not been released again after the predefined period of time after its actuation.

Der Kontaktsensor 4 kann ein direkter Kontaktschalter, der durch den direkten Kontakt mit dem Hindernis geschaltet wird, oder ein berührungsfreier Näherungs-schalter sein.The contact sensor 4 may be a direct contact switch, which is switched by the direct contact with the obstacle, or a non-contact proximity switch.
