Definitions

  • the invention relates to a furniture hinge with a hinge arm and a fastening section, the hinge arm and the fastening section being pivotably connected to one another via a multi-axis articulated connection, and a damping element damping in a deflection direction for damping the movement of the hinge arm and a spring for adjusting the hinge arm opposite the fastening portion are provided.
  • One such furniture hinge is from the EP 1 713 996 B1 known.
  • This describes an actuating arm drive for the flaps of cupboards with a hinge part designed as an actuating arm and rotatable about an axis on a housing.
  • the actuating arm is connected via a second axis to a linearly and rotatably mounted control part which, on its side opposite the actuating arm, rests with a control cam on a movable pressure part pretensioned by a spring arrangement.
  • the linear mobility of the control part is achieved by mounting it on a slide or by means of an axis guided in an elongated hole.
  • the spring force is transmitted to the actuating arm via the control part in such a way that the opening and closing process of the flap is supported.
  • the actuator drive includes a damper that dampens the tilting movement of the actuator arm before two end positions and does not influence it in between.
  • the actuating arm has a stop which presses against a first end of the damper when the flap is closed. When the flap is opened, either the slide or the pressure part presses against the second end of the damper.
  • the damper is preferably designed as a linear damper.
  • the disadvantage here is that the damper must be actuated from both sides and must therefore be appropriately accessible and adjustable. Furthermore, the damper acts on one side of the slide or the pressure part. About jamming of the slide or to avoid the printing part, these must therefore be guided with correspondingly narrow tolerances. Both requirements lead to a high design and manufacturing effort.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by a furniture hinge with the features of claim 1. Accordingly, it is provided that the damping element is mounted in such a way that during a folding movement of the hinge arm from a first end position to a second end position within an adjustment movement of the damping element caused thereby, a maximum or a minimum deflection of the damping element is passed.
  • the maximum and minimum deflection corresponds to the maximum and minimum deflection traversed within the adjustment movement of the damping element and not the maximum or minimum possible deflection which is predetermined by the design of the damping element. With an appropriate construction of the furniture hinge, however, the maximum or minimum possible deflections and the maximum or minimum deflections passed through can coincide.
  • the hinge arm is damped in the adjustment movement of the damping element following the maximum or minimum deflection.
  • the arrangement is selected such that the damping element has a damping effect in the adjustment direction of the adjustment movement following the maximum or minimum deflection, while it does not dampen in the adjustment direction before the maximum or minimum deflection. Whether a maximum or minimum deflection is performed depends on the selected construction and the damping direction of the damping element used. If a structure is selected in which a maximum deflection is carried out, the damping takes place when the deflection is reduced of the damping element. If, on the other hand, there is a structure in which a minimal deflection is carried out, the damping takes place when the deflection of the damping element is increased.
  • a furniture hinge that can be manufactured inexpensively is created which, with a single damping element acting in one direction, enables a hinge arm to be damped both when it is opened and when it is folded in before the respective end position is reached. Before the maximum or minimum deflection of the damping element is reached, there is no damping if the design is appropriate, so that the first movement range is passed through undamped when opening or closing, for example, a cabinet door attached to the furniture hinge.
  • the damping element is provided inexpensively in the form of a linear damper.
  • damping paths can be used for folding in and out of the hinge arm and thus for closing and opening a cabinet door attached to the hinge arm can be set.
  • stronger damping with a longer damping path can advantageously be provided for closing the cabinet door than for opening the cabinet door.
  • the damping element is mounted pivotably about a first axis of rotation.
  • a bearing of the damping element is pivoted about the first axis of rotation in such a way that an upper or lower dead center is passed through in the adjustment of the damping element.
  • a maximum or minimum deflection of the damping element is achieved.
  • the direction of adjustment of the adjustment movement of the damping element is reversed. From this point in time, the damping element has a damping effect. The direction of adjustment of the damping element is reversed with each pass through the top or bottom dead center, regardless of the Direction of rotation of the swivel movement.
  • the damping element which damps only in one adjustment direction, dampens the movement of the hinge arm both when it is folded in and when it is unfolded.
  • the furniture hinge is designed in such a way that when the hinge arm moves between the two end positions, only either the top or bottom dead center is passed through. If the top dead center is passed through, a damping element should preferably be provided which has a damping effect when they are pushed together. If, on the other hand, a bottom dead center is passed through, the damping element advantageously has a damping effect when it is pulled apart. In this way it is achieved that the movement of the hinge arm is damped before one of the end positions is reached.
  • the damping element is brought into operative connection with the articulated connection and thus the hinge arm in such a way that a joint element of the articulated connection forms the first axis of rotation and that the joint element is adjustable about an axis of rotation formed by a first joint.
  • the movement of a joint element, which is advantageously provided anyway, of the multi-axis joint connection provided between the hinge arm and the fastening section can thus be used in order to achieve the pivoting movement of the damping element about the first axis of rotation.
  • a simple construction in which an upper or lower dead point is passed through in the adjustment of the damping element is achieved according to the invention in that the damping element is mounted in the area of two support bearings and that when the furniture hinge is adjusted from the first end position to the second end position a connecting line running through the support bearings or the extension of which crosses the first axis of rotation.
  • the upper or lower dead center and thus the maximum or minimum deflection of the damping element is reached when the connecting line or its Extension crosses the first axis of rotation.
  • An upper dead point is passed when the connecting line itself crosses the axis of rotation, while a lower dead point is passed when the extension of the connecting line crosses the axis of rotation.
  • a first support bearing of the damping element is pivoted about the first axis of rotation and a second support bearing is held at a fixed distance from the first axis of rotation.
  • the damping element is connected to the joint element on the one hand and a movable lever pivotably connected to it on the other hand.
  • the movable lever is advantageously connected to the joint element so as to be pivotable about the first axis of rotation, about which the damping element is also pivoted. Because the second support bearing is mounted on the movable lever, the distance between the second support bearing and the first axis of rotation remains the same.
  • the spring is provided in order to enable the hinge arm to fold in and / or out automatically after it has been actuated.
  • the movable lever is connected to the hinge connection and is connected to both a connecting lever and a spring tensioner in such a way that the between the connecting lever and The spring held by the spring tensioner can be tensioned or relaxed during an adjustment between the two end positions.
  • the spring is connected to a tensioning element and that the spring preload of the spring can be adjusted by means of the tensioning element.
  • a stronger spring preload can be set than with lighter cabinet doors.
  • the spring preload can influence the speed of the independent opening and closing movement of the cabinet door.
  • the movable lever is connected directly or indirectly to the spring, which is deflected to different degrees depending on the position of the hinge arm, in such a way that a pressure force that varies depending on the position of the hinge arm is applied via the movable lever the joint element is transferred.
  • the spring force is transmitted from the connecting lever and the spring tensioner to the movable lever.
  • the tensile force of the spring is converted into a compressive force acting on the movable lever and thus the articulated connection. This compressive force is transmitted to the joint element in such a way that it causes the joint element to rotate about the first joint.
  • a cabinet door fastened to the hinge arm must therefore first be opened or closed against the spring force before it automatically and dampened closes the opening or closing movement in a second movement section driven by the spring.
  • the connecting lever, the spring tensioner, the movable lever and in particular the joint element connected to the movable lever and its axis of rotation about the first joint can be achieved that the spring is mainly relaxed when opening the hinge arm and is mainly tensioned when folding it.
  • the opening of a cabinet door which may possibly occur against the weight of the cabinet door, is more strongly supported by the spring than the closing of the cabinet door, in which the spring is only relaxed in the last movement section and thus acts in the direction of movement of the hinge arm.
  • damping In addition to adapting the spring force to the fitted cabinet door, it is also desirable to be able to adapt the damping to the prevailing conditions. This can be achieved in that an adjusting device is provided with which the damping stroke and / or the damping force of the damping element can be adjusted before the first and / or the second end position is reached.
  • the damping can thus be set, for example, in such a way that a cabinet door can be closed quickly, but in its last movement segment it is nevertheless applied slowly and quietly to a cabinet body.
  • the damping element is directly or indirectly coupled to the multi-axis joint connection via a guide element, and that the guide element for adjusting the damping stroke of the damping element can be adjusted on a guide by means of an adjusting element of the adjusting device.
  • the position at which the damping element is pivoted about the first axis of rotation is fixed by the guide and the guide element.
  • the selected position determines the path that the guide element and thus the movable support bearing of the damping element traverses when pivoting about the first axis of rotation.
  • the adjustment movement of the damping element and the damping stroke are specified.
  • the position in which the guide element is pivoted about the first axis of rotation and thus the damping stroke are determined by the setting element.
  • a simple setting of the damping stroke can be achieved in that a maximum movement of the guide element can be set at a variable end of the guide with a movable stop.
  • the guide element rests against the variable end of the guide, for example, only in one direction of movement of the hinge arm, for example when it is folded in.
  • the setting of the stop therefore only changes the damping when the hinge arm is folded in when a cabinet door mounted on the hinge arm is closed.
  • a furniture hinge can thus be provided which has adjustable damping when the hinge arm is folded in and a fixed, predetermined damping when it is unfolded.
  • a simple coupling of the damping element to the joint connection of the furniture hinge can be achieved in that the guide is arranged on the joint element.
  • the damping stroke can be set in that the stop is formed by an eccentric which is rotatably mounted on the joint element and which, depending on its rotation, holds the guide element at different distances from its axis of rotation.

During the continuing rotary movement, the deflection of the damping element 60 is reduced again.
  • the damping element 60 used has a damping effect only in one adjustment direction when the damping element 60 is pushed together. In the described sequence of movements, there is therefore no damping of the movement of the joint element 43 and the hinge arm 20 until the maximum deflection of the damping element 60 is reached Articulated connection 40, on the movement of the hinge arm 20. Since the direction of adjustment of the damping element 60 is reversed both when folding in and when unfolding the hinge arm 20, its movement is damped before one of the end positions of the hinge arm 20 is reached. As a result, both a damped opening and a damped closing of a cabinet door or flap fastened to the hinge arm 20 are achieved with only one damping element which dampens linearly in one direction.
  • the spring force initially counteracts the folding in of the hinge arm 20 before it acts in the direction of movement of the hinge arm 20 after the first axis of rotation 44 has crossed the connecting line between the first joint 41.1 and the joint axis 71.
  • the last section of movement of the hinge arm 20 takes place automatically when it is folded in.
  • the pretensioning of the spring 76 can be adapted in such a way that an automatic movement of the hinge arm is made possible with cabinet doors or flaps of different weights guided by the hinge arm 20.
  • the position of the slide 84.3 is shifted along the slide rod 83 with the aid of the knurled screw 84.1.
  • the damping element 60 By mounting the damping element 60 with its counter bearing 61 on the movable lever 70, it is achieved that the distance between the counter bearing 61 and the first axis of rotation 44 remains the same regardless of the position of the joint element 43 and the movable lever 70.
  • the adjustment of the damping element 60 and thus its damping stroke is thus predetermined by the position in which the guide element 45 is held on the joint element 43 and pivoted about the first axis of rotation 44, and the angle of rotation between the joint element 43 and the movable lever 70.
  • the damping stroke of the damping element when the hinge arm 20 is opened and closed can be carried out differently.
  • the second end position shown is initially passed through a comparatively large angular range of the guide element 45 with a correspondingly large adjustment of the damping element 60 until the maximum deflection of the damping element 60 is reached. After the maximum deflection, a comparatively small angular range is passed through with a correspondingly smaller adjustment of the damping element 60.
  • the sequence of movements is reversed. The damping stroke when the hinge arm 20 is unfolded is thus selected to be smaller than the damping stroke when the hinge arm 20 is folded in.
  • the first axis of rotation 44 as a coupling point for the spring force into the joint element 43 already crosses the connecting line between the first joint 41.1 and the joint axis 71 after a brief rotational movement around the first joint 41.1.
  • the spring force thus only counteracts the movement of the joint element 43 and thus of the hinge arm 20 in a first small range of movement, in order then to act over a large range of movement in the direction of movement of the joint element 43 and thus of the hinge arm 20.
  • the sequence of movements is reversed when the hinge arm 20 is folded in.
  • the spring 76 thus acts over a large range of movement of the hinge arm 20 in the direction of an open position of a cabinet door or flap attached to the hinge arm 20 and only in the immediate vicinity of the closed position to the effect that the cabinet door or the flap is closed.
  • the furniture hinge 10 can be adapted to cabinet doors and flaps of different weights.
  • Figure 3 shows a section of the furniture hinge Figure 2 in the area of an articulation element 43 with the hinge arm 20 folded in.
  • the housing cover 33 and the first articulation plate 43.1 of the articulation element 43 are shown in a semi-transparent manner in order to allow a view of the components behind it.
  • the guide element 45 as a support bearing for the damping element 60 is mounted in the guide 46 on the joint element 43.
  • the guide 46 is implemented by elongated holes which are attached congruently both in the first joint plate 43.1 and in the second joint plate 43.2, which is arranged in a concealed manner.
  • the guide 46 thus enables a rotary movement as well as a linear adjustment of the guide element 45 mounted therein.
  • the elongated holes are spaced apart from the first axis of rotation 44 in the direction of the first joint 41.1.
  • the adjusting element 50 is arranged between the guide 46 and the first joint 41.1. How too Figure 4 As shown, the setting element 50 is rotatably mounted between the first and second joint plates 43.1, 43.2 of the joint element 43.
  • a tool engagement 51 is introduced into a corresponding opening in the first joint plate 43.1.
  • the setting element 50 is also formed by an eccentric 52 with a first and a second eccentric disk 52.1, 52.2.
  • Each eccentric 52.1, 52.2 is on Perimeter a locking curve 52.3, 52.4 assigned.
  • the eccentric disks 52.1, 52.2 are spaced apart by an axis 53.
  • the eccentric 52 can be rotated in such a way that it covers part of the elongated holes of the guide 46 with its outer circumference and its locking cams 52.3, 52.4.
  • an adjustable, variable end 46.1 with the eccentric 52 as a stop for the guide element 45 is created on the region of the guide 46 facing the first joint 41.1.
  • a fixed end 46.2 delimits the guide 46.
  • the guide element 45 When the hinge arm 20 is folded into the illustrated closed position, the guide element 45 is pressed against the variable end 46.1 of the guide by the damping element 60 that counteracts the movement.
  • the setting element 50 By turning the setting element 50, the stop for the guide element 45 can be shifted in accordance with the locking cams 52.3, 52.4.
  • the position of the guide element 45 in the shown folded-in position of the hinge arm 20 is predetermined by the setting element 50 in the effective direction of the damping element 60.
  • the adjustment path of the damping element 60 and thus the damping stroke when the hinge arm 20 is folded in can thus be adjusted by the adjusting element 50.
  • With the in Figure 3 shown setting of the setting element 50 which allows a maximum linear movement of the guide element 45 in the guide 46, a smallest adjustable damping stroke.
  • the setting element 50 is rotated in such a way that the locking cams 52.3, 52.4 protrude maximally into the elongated holes of the guide 46, so that the guide element 45 is displaced in the direction of the fixed end 46.2 of the guide 46, a maximum damping stroke of the damping element is achieved when the hinge arm is folded in 20 reached.
  • the damping stroke between the two extreme positions can be set by means of corresponding intermediate positions of the setting element 50.
  • the interaction of the locking cams 52.3, 52.4 with the guide element 45 means that the setting element 50 can only be set in predetermined locking positions. This enables a reproducible setting of the damping stroke and locking of the selected setting.
  • Figure 4 shows the section of the furniture hinge 10 from Figure 3 in a perspective view with the hinge arm 20 in a partially open position.
  • the first hinge plate 43.1 of the hinge element 43 is shown transparently.
  • the piston rod 63 of the damping element 60 which is partially encompassed by the cover 62, has at its end a guide element receptacle 64 in which the guide element 45 designed as a transverse pin is held.
  • An adjusting element 65 in the form of a shoulder is formed on the guide element receptacle 64. In the illustrated position of the hinge arm 20, the adjusting element 65 is aligned with the axis 53 of the adjusting element 50 and rests against it.
  • the guide element 45 is displaced to the fixed end 46.2 of the guide 46, independently of the setting of the adjusting element 50.
  • the guide element 45 is therefore inevitably moved from the variable end 46.1 of the guide 46 to its fixed end 46.2 and held there.
  • the position of the guide element 45 when the hinge arm 20 is opened is thereby fixed.
  • the damping stroke of the damping element 60 when the hinge arm 20 is unfolded is thus also fixedly predetermined, while the damping stroke when folding the hinge arm 20 can be adjusted by the setting element 50.
  • the guide element 45 is also held by the eccentric 52 on the side of the fixed end 46.2 of the guide 46.
  • a maximum damping stroke is thus set when the hinge arm 20 is folded in and thus when a cabinet door or flap attached to the hinge arm 20 is closed.
  • Figure 5 shows the section of the furniture hinge 10 from Figure 4 in a side view with the hinge arm 20 partially unfolded.
  • the first hinge plate 43.1 is shown partially transparent.
  • the guide 46 with the guide element 45 was opened when the hinge arm 20 was opened, starting in the position shown in FIG Figure 3 closed position shown, pivoted clockwise about the first joint 41.1.
  • the adjusting element 65 was aligned on the axis 53 of the adjusting element 50 and the guide element 45 was pressed against the fixed end 46.2 of the guide 46.
  • the piston rod 63 of the damping element 60 is pushed into the damping element by the guide element 45, thereby causing the damping.
  • the damping stroke is fixed by the fixed positioning of the guide element 45 at the fixed end 46.2 of the guide 46.
  • Figure 6 shows the furniture hinge 10 Figure 2 in a second end position with the hinge arm 20 folded out.
  • the first hinge plate 43.1 is not shown.
  • the adjusting element 65 is guided past the axis 53 of the adjusting element 50, but still rests against it in such a way that the guide element 45 is held at the fixed end 46.2 of the guide 45.
  • the hinge axis 71 pivots as a connection point between the movable lever 70, the connection lever 72 and the base 82 of the spring tensioner 80 around the in Figure 2
  • the swivel joint 81 shown.
  • the rotation takes place in the present illustration in a clockwise direction.
  • the spring 76 is relaxed and the released energy is transmitted via the movable lever 70 to the multi-axis articulated connection 40 and thus the swivel arm 20.
  • the movable lever 70 and the connecting lever 72 are arranged and shaped in such a way that they do not cross the positions of the fastening receptacles 52.1, 52.2, 52.3 when they move between the two end positions, regardless of the setting of the spring tensioner 80 or the setting element 50. Fastening elements can thus be guided through the fastening receptacles 52.1, 52.2, 52.3 without blocking the movement of the hinge arm 20.
  • Figure 7 shows a section of the furniture hinge 10 Figure 6 in the area of the joint element 63.
  • the first joint plate 63.1 of the joint element 63 and the housing cover 33 are shown partially transparent.
  • the position of the joint element 63 is shown when the hinge arm 20 is folded out into its second end position. In this position, the tool engagement 51 of the setting element 50 is positioned opposite the setting opening 35 in the housing cover 33 and is therefore accessible from the outside.
  • the guide element 45 is held on the fixed end 46.2 of the guide 46, whereby the deflection of the damping element 60 in this position of the joint element 63 and thus of the hinge arm 20 is fixed.
