Description

hinge

The invention relates to a furniture hinge with a fastened to a furniture body carcass hinge part, a door leaf hinged to a door hinge part and at least one hinged to the carcass hinge part with the door hinge part hinge lever, wherein the carcass hinge part with the or a functional unit cooperating with the toggle lever, in particular a damper or an opening and / or closing spring mechanism or a motor for opening and / or closing the furniture hinge.

Furniture hinges with functional units for actuating the hinge in the opening and / or closing direction or for influencing the opening and / or closing characteristic of the hinge are known in different embodiments. For example, dampers fitted on the hinge arm of the carcass hinge part or on the door leaf hinge part are known in order to dampen the closing movement of the hinge over a last section before reaching the closed position. Furniture hinges of this type are known for example from US 6,591, 454 B2 and EP 1 404938 B1.

From DE 20 2004019 238 U1 further goes a furniture hinge with a patch on the door hinge part functional unit in the form of an opening spring mechanism with a touch-latch mechanism out. Here, the door is closed manually over a last portion of its closing path, wherein the touch-latch mechanism locked in the closed state of the door leaf. By a further slight pressing of the door leaf of the touch-latch mechanism is released and the functional unit pivots the door wing over a first section in its opening direction.

In addition, furniture hinges are known in which a functional unit is integrated in the carcass hinge part or the door leaf hinge part, whereby a more compact design can be achieved. For example, a hinge with an integrated damper or an integrated spring mechanism from WO 2004/083580 A1 is known. The functional unit is actuated here by additional between the carcass hinge part and the door leaf hinge part arranged articulated lever, resulting in a relatively bulky design. From DE 103 33 925 A1 discloses a furniture hinge with a built-in door leaf hinge part damper out. The door hinge part is here designed to be much larger than other conventional furniture hinges.

From EP 1 375 797 A1 a furniture hinge of the type mentioned is known. A functional unit in the form of a damper is integrated in the hinge arm of the carcass hinge part and connected in an articulated manner to a connecting strap attached to the inner articulated lever. In this furniture hinge it comes to high load peaks of the inner joint lever with a corresponding risk of breakage of this joint lever. Also, the actuation path for the damper is relatively short.

From US 5,012,551 a furniture hinge with a built-in hinge arm damper is also known, which is actuated by the inner hinge lever. In this case, the inner joint lever has a connection lever arm projecting from the pivot axis, about which it can be pivoted relative to the hinge arm, into a connecting lever arm projecting from the pivot axis around which it can be pivoted relative to the door leaf hinge part the damper attacks. The damper is aligned at right angles to the longitudinal extent of the hinge arm. It can be used in this way only a very short damper with a short actuation path.

DE 202 07 036 U1 shows a universal joint hinge, which is provided with a built-in hinge arm linear damper whose piston rod engages directly on a relatively large in a universal joint hinge formed hinge lever.

In the case of the furniture hinge known from DE 31 20 201 A1, a friction damper is arranged in the hinge arm, which has a brake cylinder arranged on a rod piston. In a groove of the brake cylinder engages a connected to the inner hinge lever of the hinge driving lever. Apart from the disadvantages of such a friction damper, a relatively short actuating travel of the damper is also present here.

From EP 0 400 501 A1 discloses a hinge with a spring mechanism having a housing with side walls, wherein in elongated holes in the side walls of the housing of the spring mechanism, a pin is slidably mounted, via which the spring of the spring mechanism by means of a cam of a toggle lever of Hinge is actuated.

Another hinge with a spring mechanism is disclosed in US 4,083,082 A. The spring mechanism has a slidably guided sleeve which receives one end of the spring and is displaced by a cam of a hinge lever of the hinge when the hinge is opened. The object of the invention is to provide a furniture hinge of the type mentioned, in which upon pivoting of the furniture hinge, a relatively uniform load of the articulated lever, which cooperates with the functional unit, can be achieved, with a compact design of the furniture hinge is possible. According to the invention, this is achieved by a furniture hinge with the features of claim 1.

For example, the functional unit may be a damper. Upon pivoting of the furniture hinge and a concomitant pivoting of the articulated lever with which the functional unit interacts, the actuation part shifts with respect to the carcass hinge part, whereby the damper is actuated. The functional unit may, for example, also be an opening and / or closing device for opening the furniture hinge over its entire pivoting angle or a part thereof, e.g. a spring mechanism or a motor. In an analogous manner, it comes in this case to a shift of the actuating part by the functional unit, whereby the pivot lever is pivoted relative to the carcass hinge part. The actuating part can in this case be connected to the functional unit directly or via one or more further transmission parts. Preferably, the actuating part is connected directly to the articulated lever, wherein an interposition of at least one further transmission part but also conceivable and possible borrowed.

A furniture hinge according to the invention can be robust and reliable, but this case still be made compact. By interposing at least the actuating part between the articulated lever and the functional unit, a more uniform force curve can be achieved on the articulated lever.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the actuating part is connected to the functional unit via a transmission lever pivotably mounted on the carcass hinge part. If the functional unit is a damper, then when closing the furniture hinge over the portion of the closing movement, over which a damping is desired, by means of a translation by the transmission lever, a relatively large deflection of a thrust portion of the damper can be achieved. By pivoting the articulated lever, with which the actuating part is connected, the actuating part is displaced, wherein it pivots the transmission lever, which in turn actuates the damper. Likewise, a pushing part of a functional unit embodied in the form of an opening and / or closing device for opening or closing the furniture hinge over the entire pivoting angle or a part thereof can perform a relatively large distance. In order to open or close the furniture hinge over the desired pivoting angle, the transmission lever pivots the transmission lever, thereby displacing the actuating part. By the displacement of the actuating part of the articulated lever is pivoted relative to the carcass hinge part. Preferably, in this embodiment, the actuating part is arranged on the outside of a hinge arm of the carcass hinge part and slidably guided in the longitudinal direction of this hinge arm. Conveniently, this displaceable guide is formed by a pin and slot connection between the actuating part and the hinge arm, wherein the actuating part can also pivot slightly in the displacement relative to the hinge arm. The actuating part is in this case hingedly connected to the articulated lever.

The transmission lever is preferably in the form of a one-armed lever. In this case, it can be mounted pivotably on the hinge arm. The connection with the actuating part can take place via a pin attached to the actuating part, which penetrates at least one elongated hole extending in the longitudinal direction of the hinge arm and serves for displaceable guidance of the actuating part on the hinge arm.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the toggle lever is connected by means of a slotted guide with the actuating part. Through this link guide, a desired displacement of the actuating part for a respective pivot angle of the articulated lever can be achieved.

Further advantages and details of the invention are explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this show:

11 and 12, the furniture hinge in the partially opened and opened state. Fig. 13 is an exploded view of the furniture hinge; FIGS. 14, 15 and 16 show illustrations corresponding to FIGS. 10 to 12, wherein the door leaf hinge part and the hinge arm are shown cut along their longitudinal center. An embodiment of the invention is shown in Figs. 1-9. The furniture hinge comprises a carcass hinge part 1 which can be fastened to a furniture carcass 3 shown only in sections in sections in FIG. 4 and a door leaf hinge part 2 which can also be fastened to a door leaf 4 which is also shown schematically in sections in FIG. 4. The carcass hinge part 1 and the door leaf hinge part 2 Hinge part 2 are connected to each other in the illustrated embodiment via two articulated levers 5, 6. The invention is not limited to a specific number of articulated levers. Furniture hinges with different numbers of articulated levers are known. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the inner articulated lever 6 is arranged on the side of the outer articulated lever 5 facing the furniture carcass 3, and the two articulated levers 5, 6 are each pivotably mounted both on the carcass hinge part 1 and on the door leaf hinge part 2. The furniture hinge is designed in the manner of a conventional hinged door hinge. A spring element 7 causes over a last portion of the closing movement of the furniture hinge a force acting in the closing direction force.

The door hinge part 2 is formed in the embodiment shown in the form of an insertable into a recess in the door leaf 4 hinge cup.

The carcass hinge part 1 comprises a hinge arm 8, on which the articulated levers 5, 6 are pivotally mounted, and a mounting plate 9 for fixing the carcass hinge part 1 on the furniture body 3. The mounting plate 9 can, for example Anschraubflansche 10, 1 through screw holes on the furniture body 3 are festschraubbar, and a holding part 12 for attachment of the hinge arm 8 have. The fastening of the hinge arm 8 on the holding part 12 can be made detachable or inseparable. For example, the hinge arm 8 in a known manner comprise a clip part which can be clipped into the holding part 12.

In the carcass hinge part 1, a functional unit 13 is integrated. For example, this may be a damper for damping the closing movement of the furniture hinge, at least over a last section before reaching the closed state. In the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 9, the functional unit 13 is held on the hinge arm 8 and is arranged via a front, the door leaf hinge part 2 facing portion within the hinge arm 8.

In order to achieve a displacement of a sliding part 35 of the functional unit 13 during pivoting of the door leaf hinge part 2 relative to the carcass hinge part 1 or to pivot the door leaf hinge part 2 with respect to the carcass hinge part when the pushing part 35 of the functional unit 13 is displaced 1, the carcass hinge part 1 is provided with a displaceable actuating part 15 and with a pivotable transmission lever 16. The actuating part 15 is connected to the articulated lever 5 and, when the articulated lever 5 is pivoted, it pushes against the carcass hinge part 1. The transmission lever 16 is connected on the one hand with the actuating part 15, on the other hand with the functional unit 13.

The actuating part 15 is displaceably guided on the hinge arm 8 by means of a pin-slot connection and in this case is arranged on the outside of the hinge arm 8. For example, a pin 17 attached to the actuating part 15 is displaceably guided in oblong holes 18, 19 of the hinge arm 8, which run in the longitudinal direction of the hinge arm 8. The elongated holes 18, 19 are arranged in side legs 20, 21 of the cross-sectionally U-shaped hinge arm 8. The side legs 20, 21 are connected to each other at their edges remote from the mounting plate 9 by a connecting web 22.

The actuating part 15 is formed for example in the form that it has a hinge arm 8 cross-U-shaped portion which is formed by both sides of the side legs 20, 21 of the hinge arm 8 arranged side legs 23, 24 facing away from the mounting plate 9 at their Edges are connected by a connecting web 25 with each other. The pin 17 is in holes 26 of the side legs 23, 24 attached thereto. From the U-shaped portion are connecting arms 27, 28 in the direction of the hinge lever 5 and are pivotally mounted on this, in a central region thereof between the two pivot axes 29, 30 via which he on the one hand to the hinge arm 8, on the other hand with the door leaf - Hinge part 2 is pivotally connected.

The transmission lever 16 is pivotably mounted on the hinge arm 8. In the illustrated embodiment, a pivot pin 31 which passes through a bore 32 of the transmission lever 16, held on the two side legs 20, 21 of the hinge arm 8.

Preferably, the transmission lever 16 is formed as a one-armed lever, wherein it is connected in the region between the axle 31 and a connection point for connection to the functional unit 13 with the actuating part 15. In the embodiment shown here, the pin 17 penetrates a slot 33 of the transmission lever 16 formed by a slot.

The functional unit 13 is held in a holder 34, which in turn is mounted pivotably on the hinge arm 8. The functional unit 13 has a thrust part 35, for example a piston rod of a damping piston, which is displaceably guided in a housing 36, which here forms a damping cylinder. It may be a pneumatic or a hydraulic damper.

The thrust member 35 is connected to the transmission lever 16, for example via a pivotally mounted on the transmission lever 16 connecting piece 37. For example, the connector 37 may be arranged in a fork-like portion of the transmission lever 16 and a receiving bore for the thrust member 35, in which the thrust member 35 by means a clamping screw 38 is clamped. At its end remote from the transmission lever 16, the housing 36 abuts a set screw 39, by which the position of the housing 36 is adjustable. As a result, the functional unit 13 can be adjusted, for example with regard to its damping characteristic.

The movement sequence when closing the furniture hinge is shown in FIGS. 4 to 9. By the connection with the articulated lever 5, the actuating member 15 is displaced in the pivoting of the articulated lever 5 in the longitudinal direction of the hinge arm 8 in the direction of its end remote from the door hinge part 2, with a smaller pivoting (preferably less than 20 °) to the pin 17 takes place. By the displacement of the pin 17, the transmission lever 16 is pivoted. The transmission lever 16 in this case shifts the thrust part 35 of the functional unit 13 in the direction of the housing 36 of the functional unit 13. Here, the distance covered by the sliding part 35 is greater than that of the actuating part 15. When the hinge is opened, the reverse movement process takes place.

If the functional unit 13 is a damper, the damping during closing of the hinge can preferably only begin at a given closing angle. Previously, e.g. hydraulic or pneumatic overflow for the damping piston to be effective. When opening the furniture hinge preferably no damping force occurs as possible.

The functional unit 13 could, for example, also be a spring mechanism for closing and / or opening the furniture hinge, in particular only over part of the opening or closing movement. For example, this spring mechanism can act in the opening direction and be equipped with a touch-latch or push-lock locking system. Furthermore, the functional unit 13 could, for example, also be a motor drive for opening and closing the furniture hinge. As a functional unit 13 so various active systems in which the furniture hinge in the opening and / or closing direction pivoting torque is applied, or passive systems are used, in which the characteristic of the opening and / or closing movement is changed, for example by a Damping force is exercised.

Various modifications of this embodiment of the invention are conceivable and possible without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, if the functional unit 13 is a damper, in which the thrust part 35 is returned to the starting position by spring force, then the connecting piece 37 could be dispensed with and the end face of the thrust part 35 rested only on the transmission lever 16. In principle, it would also be conceivable and possible, for example, for the functional unit 13 to be held on the mounting plate 9.

The functional unit 13 can from the transmission lever 16 directly or indirectly, for. B. via another lever or via a slide, be actuated.

Another embodiment of the invention is shown in Figs. 10-16. The furniture hinge is in turn formed in the form of a four-bar hinge, wherein an outer hinge lever 5 and an inner hinge lever 6 connect the carcass hinge part 1 with the door hinge part 2 hinged. Other articulated connections between the carcass hinge part 1 and the door leaf hinge part 2 via at least one articulated lever 5, 6 are conceivable and possible.

The carcass hinge part 1 comprises a hinge arm 8, on which the articulated levers 5, 6 are pivotally mounted, and a mounting plate 9 for fixing the carcass hinge part 1 on the furniture body 3. The connection between the mounting plate 9 and hinge arm can be done in different ways, preferably be formed releasably.

In the carcass hinge part 1, a functional unit 13 is integrated, which has a linearly movable relative to a housing 36 thrust member 35. For example, it is a formed in the form of a piston-cylinder unit pneumatic or hydraulic damper. The functional unit 13 is arranged completely within the hinge arm 8 in this embodiment.

In an inner receiving space of the hinge arm 8, an actuating part 15 'is slidably mounted in the longitudinal direction of the hinge arm 8, preferably in turn by means of a pin-slot connection. In this case, the actuating part 15 'side legs 23', 24 'with slots 40, 41 disposed therein, which are penetrated by a held on the hinge arm 8 pin 42. The pin 42 is used in the illustrated embodiment also for holding a spring element 7, by means of which the hinge is formed in a known manner over a last portion of its closing movement self-closing.

The actuating part 15 'is connected to the inner articulated lever 6 via a slotted guide. In this case, the inner articulated lever 6 has a connecting lever arm 43 which, via the pivot axis formed by the axle bolt 44, about which the inner articulated lever 6 is connected to the hinge arm 8, in one of the pivot axis to which the inner articulated lever 6 with the door leaf Hinge part 2 is pivotable, pioneering direction. This connection lever arm 43 is formed in the illustrated embodiment of two laterally mounted tabs. At these tabs in each case a pin 45 is arranged, which projects into a link 46 in the respective side legs 23 ', 24' of the actuating part 15 '. The scenes 46 are bent, with their curvature opposite to the curvature of the path of the pin 46 in the pivoting of the inner articulated lever 6. The side legs 23 ', 24' of the actuating part 15 'are connected to each other at its end remote from the door hinge part 2 by a connecting web 47, which serves to bear on the housing 36 of the functional unit 13. The thrust part 35 of the functional unit 13 is supported on a carcass-hinged part-fixed part, for example on the pin 42. The reverse arrangement of the functional unit 13 is also possible.

When the hinge is closed starting from its open position shown in FIG. 16, the actuating part 15 'shifts through the slotted guide on the articulated lever 6 in the longitudinal direction of the hinge arm 8, in the exemplary embodiment shown in the direction of the door leaf hinge part 2 Pusher 35 of the functional unit 13 is inserted, whereby, for example, the desired damping is achieved. It is also conceivable and possible that the actuating part 15 'of an "active" functional unit

13 is moved to open the hinge and / or close.

The reverse direction of movement of the operating part 15 'when closing or opening the furniture hinge can be achieved by a corresponding design of the guide slot.

The connection of the actuating part 15 'with the functional unit 13 could also take place via one or more further transmission elements, for example via a transmission lever.

Although an arrangement of the actuating part 15 'in the interior of the body-hinge part 1 is shown in FIGS. 10 to 16, an arrangement on the outside of the body hinge part 1 would be conceivable and possible.
