Definitions

  • the invention relates to a furniture hinge with a fastening section and a hinge part connected to it via a multi-axis articulated connection, a spring pretensioning the hinge part indirectly or directly, at least in a partial area of the adjustment path of the hinge part with respect to the fastening section, and wherein the spring is tensioned or tensioned between two spring bearings is tensionable.
  • Furniture hinges of this type are used, for example, to move a pivotable flap between an open and a closed position.
  • flap fittings of this type are used in furniture construction and in the area of overhead cabinets. There the flaps can be pivoted about a horizontal axis.
  • a flap fitting In the intermediate travel path between the opening movement and the closing movement, such a flap fitting should ideally automatically hold the flap in an intermediate position.
  • the flap In the area of the opening stroke the flap can be held reliably and stably so that it no longer automatically falls into the closed position.
  • the flap In the area of the closing stroke, the flap should be reliably pulled into the closed position.
  • furniture hinges are usually used in which spring-loaded control cams with complex control geometry are used.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention in that the spring is adjusted during the adjustment of the hinge part from the open to the closed position and / or during the adjustment from the closed to the open position in the area of its two spring bearings.
  • both spring bearings are now adjusted during the opening and / or closing movement.
  • the second spring bearing can thus be carried along during the movement sequence, so that the spring force of the spring can be regulated during the movement sequence.
  • a hinge variant can also be implemented in which the second spring bearing is adjusted in the direction of the closing stroke in the area of the closing stroke in order to reduce the spring tension.
  • a possible furniture hinge is designed in the area of the opening stroke in such a way that the two spring bearings are adjusted in opposite directions in order to achieve additional tension on the spring.
  • the furniture hinge according to the invention can be implemented by adjusting the two spring bearings, in particular also with a small design, since complex control mechanisms, such as control cams, can be dispensed with.
  • At least one of the spring bearings is linearly adjustable by means of a linear guide or can be pivoted about an axis.
  • a directed sequence of movements can be achieved with a linear guide.
  • a comparatively large adjustment stroke is achieved with a linear guide in a small installation space.
  • the second spring bearing can be pivoted about an axis in order to effect the adjustment stroke on the second spring area.
  • the second spring bearing can be adjusted on an arcuate path by means of a guide. In particular, this arcuate path can be designed in such a way that the spring bearing performs a combined linear and pivoting movement.
  • a particularly preferred variant of the invention is such that the spring is coupled to a respective lever by means of the two spring bearings, the levers being pivotable relative to one another.
  • these two levers can be moved together, for example.
  • Both spring bearings can be adjusted by the offset.
  • the spring bearings can also be adjusted relative to one another.
  • the articulated connection is directly or indirectly coupled to the two spring bearings by means of an adjusting unit, and that the spring bearings are adjusted by means of the adjusting unit.
  • a simple hinge construction can be implemented in that the actuating unit acts on the connecting area of the two levers to which the spring bearings are coupled.
  • the actuating unit can act directly on the hinge point between the two levers or be coupled to this hinge.
  • the actuating unit is particularly preferably designed as a movable lever which is directly or indirectly coupled to the articulated connection via a joint forming a first axis of rotation.
  • a possible variant of the invention can be such that a spring bearing is connected to a spring tensioner, by means of which the distance between the spring bearings can be adjusted. With the spring tensioner, the spring force can be adjusted to different flap weights, for example.
  • a further preferred variant of the invention is such that the opening movement of the hinge part and / or the closing movement of the hinge part can be dampened at least in some areas by means of a damping element. With the damping element, the flap or door, which is linked to the furniture hinge, is gently pulled into the open or closed position, the damping force counteracting the tensile force of the spring. If it is provided that the damping element damps both in the opening and in the closing direction, then the number of parts for the furniture hinge can be minimized.
  • the damping element can be designed as a rotary damper or preferably as a linear damper and in particular as a fluid damper.
  • Linear dampers have a comparatively simpler structure than rotary dampers, which has an advantageous effect on furniture hinges that are mass-produced.
  • the damping can then be easily integrated into the furniture hinge if it is provided that the damping element is effective in the functional area between the articulated connection and the spring.
  • the invention also relates in particular to a piece of furniture with a furniture body and a flap or door articulated thereon by means of a furniture hinge, the manual force required during the opening and / or closing movement remaining approximately constant. It is preferably provided that the required manual force remains constant with a deviation of +/- 30% in order to create the impression of a movement sequence that is as harmonious as possible for a user.
  • Manual force is the force that must be applied to the actuating element of the flap or door in order to move the flap or door into the open and / or closed position.
  • Figure 1 shows a side view of a furniture hinge 10 in a first end position of a folded hinge part 20 with the hinge housing 31 closed.
  • the hinge part 20 is used to couple a door or flap and can, as in the present case, be designed as a hinge arm.
  • the hinge housing 31 forms a fastening section 30 of the furniture hinge 10 with three fastening receptacles 32.1, 32.2, 32.3.
  • the hinge housing 31 is closed by a housing cover 33.
  • a linear guide 34 and an adjustment opening 35 are provided as openings. Fastening points of a first joint 41.1, a second joint 41.2 and a swivel joint 81 are let into the housing cover 33.
  • the hinge part 20 is pivotably connected to the fastening section 30 via a multi-axis articulated connection 40.
  • a first and a second adjusting screw 22.1, 22.2 are arranged along a back web 24 of the hinge part 20.
  • Side legs 23 adjoin the back web 24 on both sides.
  • the hinge part 20 carries a connecting element 21 which has connecting hooks 21.1, 21.2. Towards the joint, the side legs 23 merge into a joint guide 26 via an expansion area 25 reinforced with an embossing 25.1.
  • a sixth joint 41.6 and a seventh joint 41.7 of the multi-axis joint connection 40 (in the present case a seven-joint chain) are arranged on the joint guide 26.
  • the multi-axis joint connection 40 is connected to the fastening section 30 via the first and second joint 41.1, 41.2 and to the hinge part 20 via the sixth and seventh joint 41.6, 41.7.
  • a lever which in the present case is designed as a spring tensioner 80, is attached to the fastening section 30 via the rotary joint 81.
  • the spring tensioner 80 is assigned a tensioning element 84, consisting of a knurled screw 84.1 with a knurled head 84.2 and a slide 84.3 with a spring bearing 84.4 attached to it.
  • the slide 84.3 is slidably mounted on a slide rod 83.
  • the slide rod 83 and the knurled screw 84.1 are fixed at the end on a common base 82 which establishes the connection to the fastening section 30 of the furniture hinge 10.
  • a spring 76 is suspended from the spring bearing 84.4 and is fastened with its opposite end to a spring bearing 74.
  • the spring bearing 74 is connected at the end to a first lever, which in the present case is designed as a connecting lever 72, via a pin 74.
  • the connecting lever 72 is guided with a guide pin 73 in the linear guide 34 attached to the housing cover 33.
  • the hinge part 20 is assigned to a cabinet door or a flap and the fastening section 30 is assigned to a body of a piece of furniture (not shown).
  • the connecting element 21 engages with the connecting hooks 21.1, 21.2 in a connecting piece (not shown) which is fastened to the cabinet door or the flap.
  • the cabinet door or the flap can be aligned with respect to the body using the adjusting screws 22.1, 22.2.
  • the fastening section 30 is fastened to the body by means of fastening means, not shown, which are guided through the fastening receptacles 32.1, 32.2, 32.3.
  • the hinge part 20 When the cabinet door or the flap is opened, the hinge part 20 is moved from the closed first end position shown into an in Figure 6 shown open second end position pivoted. From a certain position of the hinge part 20, the spring 76 causes the cabinet door or the flap to open automatically. Accordingly, the spring 76 pulls the hinge part 20 back into its first end position on its last movement section when the cabinet door or the flap is closed.
  • the spring tensioner 80 By means of the spring tensioner 80, the preload of the spring 76 and the torque acting around the swivel joint 81 as a result of a variation in the distance between the swivel joint 81 and the spring bearing 84.4 can be adapted to the respectively mounted cabinet door or flap, so that cabinet doors or flaps with different weights or dimensions such as described can be opened or closed.
  • FIG 2 shows the furniture hinge 10 Figure 1 with the hinge housing 31 open.
  • the same components are here as in Figure 1 called introduced.
  • the hinge housing 31 is closed at the rear with a housing rear wall 36, which has the same feedthroughs, joint receptacles and fastening receptacles 32.1, 32.2, 32.3 as the one in FIG Figure 1 Has housing cover 33 shown. Components of the furniture hinge 10 can thus be held or guided between the housing cover 33 and the housing rear wall 36.
  • the furniture hinge 10 can be mounted on the right as well as on the left side of a cabinet body, with either the housing rear wall 36 or the housing cover 33 resting against the cabinet wall.
  • a first articulated lever 42.1 of the multi-axis articulated connection 40 is arranged between the seventh articulation 41.7 on the articulation guide 26 of the hinge part 20 and a fifth articulation 41.5 which is displaceable in its position. Accordingly, one is in the Figure 3, 4 and 6th
  • the illustrated second articulated lever 42.2 is arranged between the sixth articulation 41.6 on the articulation guide 26 of the hinge part 20 and a third articulation 41.3 which is also displaceable in its position.
  • a third articulated lever 42.3 is rotatably attached to the hinge housing 31 by means of the second articulation 41.2.
  • the third articulated lever 42.3 is rotatably connected in its central area via a fourth articulation 41.4 also approximately centrally to the second articulated lever 42.2.
  • An approximately triangular joint element 43 is rotatably connected to the hinge housing 31 at one corner via the first joint 41.1. At an opposite corner of the joint element 43, it is rotatably connected to the second joint lever 42.2 via the third joint 41.3. At a third corner of the joint element 43 pointing away from the multi-axis joint connection 40, a first axis of rotation 44 in the form of a further joint axis is arranged.
  • the joint element 43 is here rotatably connected to one end of a curved movable lever 70.
  • the joint element 43 has two joint plates 43.1, 43.2 arranged at a distance from one another and arranged opposite one another, wherein in the in Figure 2 selected representation, the front first hinge plate 43.1 can be seen.
  • the ones in the Figures 4 , 5 and 6 The rear second hinge plate 43.2 shown is covered by the first hinge plate 43.1.
  • a guide 46 is provided in the form of elongated holes each aligned in the direction of the first hinge 41.1.
  • An adjusting element 50 is arranged between the guide 46 and the first joint 41.1.
  • a linear damping damping element 60 is rotatably and displaceably supported by a guide element 45 in the elongated holes of the guide 46. At its opposite end, the damping element 60 is rotatably attached to the movable lever 70 with a counter bearing 61.
  • the movable lever 70, the base 82 of the spring tensioner 80 and the connecting lever 72 are each connected to one another at the end via a hinge axis 71.
  • the multi-axis joint connection 40 forms a known 7-joint connection between the hinge part 40 and the fastening section 30.
  • the third articulated lever 42.3 is rotated about the second joint 41.2 and the joint element 43 with its first and second joint plates 43.1, 43.2 is rotated about the first joint 41.1.
  • the first axis of rotation 44 is pivoted clockwise about the first joint 41.1 in the selected representation.
  • the first axis of rotation 44 crosses the connecting line between the guide element 45 and the counter bearing 61 and thus between the support bearings of the damping element 60.
  • the distance between the guide element 45 and the counter bearing 61 is increased until the guide element 45, the first axis of rotation 44 and the counter bearing 61 lie on a line. If the joint element 43 is rotated further about the first joint 41.1 beyond this point, the distance between the guide element 45 and the counter bearing 61 is reduced again.
  • the sequence of movements takes place in the reverse order.
  • the damping element 60 thus undergoes a maximum deflection within the adjustment movement during a folding movement of the hinge part 20 between the two end positions when crossing the connecting line of the support bearings of the damping element 60 with the first axis of rotation 44. 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 sequence of movements described, there is therefore no damping of the movement of the joint element 43 and the hinge part 20 until the maximum deflection of the damping element 60 is reached. After the maximum deflection, the damping element 60, however, has a damping effect on the movement of the joint element 43 and thus, transmitted by the multi-axis Articulated connection 40, on the movement of the hinge part 20. Since the direction of adjustment of the damping element 60 both when folding as is also reversed when the hinge part 20 is unfolded, its movement is damped in each case before one of the end positions of the hinge part 20 is reached. As a result, both a damped opening and a damped closing of a cabinet door or flap fastened to the hinge part 20 are achieved with only one damping element which dampens linearly in one direction.
  • the compressive force transmitted by the movable lever 70 causes a clockwise torque and thus in the direction the rotational movement of the joint element 43 caused by the unfolding of the hinge part 20. From this moment onwards, the transmitted spring force supports the movement of the hinge part 20.
  • the hinge part 20 after it has been partially opened, independently up to its open end position unfolds. The movement is dampened by the damping element 60 before the open end position is reached.
  • the reverse sequence of movements takes place when the hinge part is folded in.
  • the spring force acts initially counteracts the folding in of the hinge part 20 before it acts in the direction of movement of the hinge part 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 movement section of the hinge part 20 takes place automatically when it is folded in.
  • the tensioning element 84 of the spring tensioner 80 By means of the tensioning element 84 of the spring tensioner 80, the pretensioning of the spring 76 and the torque generated by the spring 76 can be adapted in such a way that an automatic movement of the hinge part is made possible with cabinet doors or flaps of different weights guided by the hinge part 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 part 20 is opened and closed can be carried out differently.
  • the guide element 45 first traverses a comparatively large angular range with a correspondingly large adjustment of the damping element 60. 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 part 20 is opened is thus selected to be smaller than the damping stroke when the hinge part 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 part 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 part 20.
  • the sequence of movements is reversed when the hinge part 20 is folded in.
  • the spring 76 thus acts over a large range of movement of the hinge part 20 in the direction of an open position of a cabinet door or flap attached to the hinge part 20 and only in the immediate vicinity of the closed position to the effect that the cabinet door or the flap is closed.

  • the guide element 45 When the hinge part 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 part 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 part 20 is folded in can thus be adjusted by means of the adjustment 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 part 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.
  • Figure 4 shows the section of the furniture hinge 10 from Figure 3 in a perspective view with the hinge part 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 position of the hinge part shown, the adjusting element 65 is aligned with the axis 53 of the adjusting element 50 and rests against it.
  • the guide element 45 is shifted 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 part 20 is opened is thereby fixed. In this way, the damping stroke of the damping element 60 when the hinge part 20 is opened is also fixed, while the damping stroke when the hinge part 20 is folded in can be set 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 part 20 is folded in and thus when a cabinet door or flap attached to the hinge part 20 is closed.
  • Figure 5 shows the section of the furniture hinge 10 from Figure 4 in a side view with the hinge part 20 partially unfolded.
  • the first hinge plate 43.1 is shown partially transparent.
  • the guide 46 with the guide element 45 was pivoted clockwise about the first joint 41.1 when the hinge part 20 was opened, starting in the closed position shown in FIG.
  • 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 part 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 about the in Figure 2
  • 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 part 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 part 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 part 20 is fixed.
  • the spring 76 is further stretched or relaxed during the opening process or during the closing process. This is effected by pivoting the two levers (spring tensioner 80 and connecting lever 72 against each other. Both spring bearings 84.4 and 75 move simultaneously. While spring bearing 84.4 pivots about swivel joint 81, spring bearing 74 is displaced linearly by linear guide 34. The offset occurs here in the depth direction of the furniture hinge 10.
  • the control of the movement of the spring bearing 74 is controlled so that it is in the closed position according to FIG Fig. 2 towards the spring bearing 84.4 is postponed. Consequently, a reduction in the spring tension is achieved by the displacement.
  • the spring bearings 74 and 84.4 are shifted in opposite directions.
