Description

Möbel mit einem Schaltelement Furniture with a switching element
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Möbel mit einem Möbelkorpus, einem relativ zum Möbelkorpus bewegbar gelagerten Möbelteil und einer über ein Schalterelement auslösbaren Antriebsvorrichtung zum Bewegen des Möbelteils, wobei das Schaltelement in einer Schließlage des Möbelteils im oder am Möbelkorpus durch das Möbelteil verdeckt ist.The present invention relates to a piece of furniture with a furniture body, a relative to the furniture body movably mounted furniture part and a triggerable via a switch element drive device for moving the furniture part, wherein the switching element is concealed in a closed position of the furniture part in or on the furniture body by the furniture part.
Bei derartigen Möbeln erfolgt die Betätigung des Schaltelements und damit die Auslösung der Antriebsvorrichtung mittelbar über eine durch einen Benutzer verursachte Bewegung des Möbelteils. Beispielsweise kann vorgesehen sein, dass ein Teil des Möbelteils in der Schließlage am Schaltelement anliegt und daher ein Eindrücken des Möbelteils durch den Benutzer in den Möbelkorpus hinein das beispielsweise als Druckschalter ausgebildete Schaltelement betätigt. Hierfür ist natürlich vorzusehen, dass in der Schließstellung des Möbelteils im oder am Möbelkorpus ein genügend großer Eindrückweg für das Möbelteil verbleibt. Dies kann in bekannter Weise durch Federpuffer sichergestellt werden.In such furniture, the actuation of the switching element and thus the triggering of the drive device takes place indirectly via a movement caused by a user of the furniture part. For example, it may be provided that a part of the furniture part rests in the closed position on the switching element and therefore presses a depression of the furniture part by the user in the furniture body in the example designed as a pressure switch switching element. For this purpose, of course, provide that in the closed position of the furniture part in or on the furniture body remains a sufficiently large Eindrückweg for the furniture part. This can be ensured in a known manner by spring buffer.
Befindet sich das Möbelteil nach einer erfolgten Auslösung der Antriebsvorrichtung in einer teilweisen oder vollständigen Öffnungslage, weist das Schaltelement im Stand der Technik keine Funktionalität mehr auf.The furniture part is after a successful release of the drive device in a partial or full opening position, the switching element in the prior art no longer has functionality.
Da es oft wünschenswert ist, auch bei der Rückführung des Möbelteils in die Schließlage eine Unterstützung durch die Antriebsvorrichtung zur Verfügung zu haben, sind gegebenenfalls für die Auslösung der Antriebsvorrichtung in der teilweisen oder vollständigen Öffnungslage des Möbelteils gesonderte zusätzliche Schaltelemente vorzusehen. Dies ist mit zusätzlichen Kosten und einem erhöhten baulichen Aufwand verbunden.Since it is often desirable to have support for the return of the furniture part in the closed position by the drive device available, separate additional switching elements are optionally provided for the release of the drive device in the partial or full opening position of the furniture part. This is associated with additional costs and increased construction costs.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein gattungsgemäßes Möbel derart weiterzubilden, dass dieselbe Funktionalität ohne nennenswert erhöhten baulichen Aufwand und mit geringeren Kosten gegeben ist.The object of the invention is to develop a generic furniture such that the same functionality is given without significantly increased structural complexity and at a lower cost.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Möbel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Dasselbe Schaltelement kann daher zur Auslösung der Antriebsvorrichtung dienen, unabhängig davon, ob sich das Möbelteil in der Schließlage oder einer von der Schließlage unterschiedlichen Lage befindet.This object is achieved by a furniture with the features of claim 1. The same switching element can therefore serve to trigger the drive device, regardless of whether the furniture part is in the closed position or a different position from the closed position.
Die Erfindung ist nicht auf eine bestimmte Ausführung des Möbelteils beschränkt. Beispielsweise kann das Möbelteil als Schublade oder Klappe ausgebildet sein.The invention is not limited to a specific embodiment of the furniture part. For example, the furniture part may be designed as a drawer or flap.
Besonders bei der Ausbildung des Möbelteils als Klappe ist die Erfindung von Vorteil. Es ist zwar bereits bekannt, eine geöffnete Klappe, welche sich zwangsläufig in einer größeren Höhe befindet als im Zustand der Schließlage durch die Ausübung einer Kraft auf die Klappe selbst auszulösen (beispielsweise ist eine Erfassungsvorrichtung zur Erfassung einer durch einen Benutzer ausgeübten Bewegung des Möbelteils vorgesehen). Dies ist aber mit dem Nachteil verbunden, dass es besonders für kleinere Benutzer schwierig ist, die Klappe in der Öffnungslage zu erreichen. Durch die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Maßnahme kann das Schließen der Klappe (also die Bewegung von einer vollständigen oder teilweisen Öffnungslage in die Schließlage) ganz einfach dadurch erfolgen, dass der Benutzer das nun nicht mehr durch das Möbelteil verdeckte Schaltelement unmittelbar betätigt.Especially in the formation of the furniture part as a flap, the invention is advantageous. Although it is already known, an open flap, which is inevitably located at a greater height than in the state of the closed position by the exertion of force on the flap itself trigger (for example, a detection device for detecting a user exercised movement of the furniture part is provided) , However, this has the disadvantage that it is difficult, especially for smaller users, to reach the flap in the open position. By inventively provided measure the closing of the flap (ie, the movement of a full or partial opening position in the closed position) can be done quite simply by the fact that the user now no longer actuated by the furniture part concealed switching element.
Diese Art der Betätigung kann unabhängig von der Ausbildung des Möbelteils vorgesehen sein.This type of operation can be provided independently of the design of the furniture part.
Das Schaltelement weist bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung wenigstens ein Leuchtmittel auf. Durch das Leuchtmittel wird dem Benutzer die Position des Schaltelements angezeigt.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the switching element has at least one lighting means. By means of the illuminant, the user is shown the position of the switching element.
Da das Leuchtelement in der Schließlage des Möbelteils, in welcher das Schaltelement durch das Möbelteil verdeckt wird, nicht aktiv sein (d.h. leuchten) muss, kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Leuchtmittel nur bei einem zumindest teilweise geöffneten Möbelteil (zumindest soweit geöffnet, dass das Schaltelement sichtbar wird) aktiv geschalten wird. Dies kann beispielsweise derart erfolgen, dass eine Positionsmesseinrichtung zum Erfassen der Position des Möbelteils zumindest über einen Abschnitt des Weges zwischen der Schließlage und einer Öffnungslage des Möbelteils vorgesehen ist und dass das wenigstens eine Leuchtmittel in Abhängigkeit der Signale der Positionsmesseinrichtung schaltbar ist. Alternativ ist auch die Anordnung eines Endschalters möglich, der durch das Möbelteil in der Öffnungslage betätigt wird.Since the luminous element in the closed position of the furniture part, in which the switching element is covered by the furniture part, not be active (ie light), can be provided that the light source only at an at least partially open furniture part (at least so far open that the switching element becomes visible) is actively switched. This can be done, for example, such that a position measuring device for detecting the position of the furniture part is provided at least over a portion of the path between the closed position and an open position of the furniture part and that the at least one light emitting device in dependence the signals of the position measuring device is switchable. Alternatively, the arrangement of a limit switch is possible, which is actuated by the furniture part in the open position.
Die Positionsmesseinrichtung kann auch ganz unabhängig von der Anordnung eines Leuchtmittels vorgesehen sein und beispielsweise zusätzlich zur Auslösung der Antriebsvorrichtung durch das Schaltelement eine Auslösung der Antriebsvorrichtung durch Detektion einer Bewegung des Möbelteils gestatten.The position measuring device can also be provided completely independent of the arrangement of a light source and, for example, in addition to triggering of the drive device by the switching element allow triggering of the drive device by detecting a movement of the furniture part.
Zusätzlich oder alternativ können die Signale der Positionsmesseinrichtung auch dazu dienen, Bewegungsgrößen des Möbelteils wie Geschwindigkeit und Beschleunigung in einer Steuer- bzw. Regeleinheit der Antriebsvorrichtung zu berechnen. Dies gestattet es, das Antreiben des Möbelteils durch die Antriebsvorrichtung in Abhängigkeit der erfassten Bewegungsgrößen des Möbelteils vorzunehmen.Additionally or alternatively, the signals of the position measuring device can also be used to calculate movement variables of the furniture part such as speed and acceleration in a control unit of the drive device. This makes it possible to carry out the driving of the furniture part by the drive device in dependence of the detected movement variables of the furniture part.
An sich kommen verschiedene konstruktive Ausgestaltungen für das Schaltelement in Frage. Das Schaltelement kann beispielsweise einen berührungslos auszulösenden Sensor aufweisen (zum Beispiels kapazitiver Sensor). Eine besonders einfache Ausbildung des Schaltelements ergibt sich aber, wenn vorgesehen ist, dass das Schaltelement einen gefederten Druckstift aufweist. Dabei kann entweder vorgesehen sein, dass das Schaltelement die Antriebsvorrichtung nur bei einem Eindrücken des Druckstifts auslöst. Alternativ kann aber vorgesehen sein, dass der Druckstift derart am Schaltelement gelagert ist, dass er ohne eine beaufschlagende Gegenkraft um ein vorgegebenes Stück aus dem Schaltelement heraustreten würde. Dieses Heraustreten wird bei einem anliegenden Möbelteil entweder durch entsprechend angeordnete Kraftspeicher (zum Beispiel Federn) oder durch die Masse des Möbelteils sowie gegebenenfalls die Zuhaltekräfte einer Schließvorrichtung verhindert. Wird das Möbelteil vom Möbelkorpus durch einen Benutzer etwas wegbewegt, kann sich der Druckstift jedoch um die vorgegebene Strecke aus dem Schaltelement herausbewegen, woraufhin das Schaltelement die Antriebsvorrichtung auslöst. Hierdurch wird eine Auslösungsmöglichkeit der Antriebsvorrichtung nicht nur durch Drücken sondern auch durch Ziehen am Möbelteil in der Schließlage realisiert.In itself, various constructive embodiments of the switching element come into question. The switching element may, for example, have a contactless triggering sensor (for example, capacitive sensor). A particularly simple embodiment of the switching element results, however, if it is provided that the switching element has a spring-loaded pressure pin. It can either be provided that the switching element triggers the drive device only when a depression of the pressure pin. Alternatively, however, it may be provided that the pressure pin is mounted on the switching element in such a way that it would emerge from the switching element by a predetermined distance without an opposing counteracting force. This emergence is prevented in an adjacent furniture part either by appropriately arranged power storage (for example, springs) or by the mass of the furniture part and optionally the locking forces of a locking device. If the furniture part is moved away a little from the furniture body by a user, however, the pressure pin can move out of the switching element by the predetermined distance, whereupon the switching element triggers the drive device. As a result, a possibility of triggering the drive device is realized not only by pressing but also by pulling the furniture part in the closed position.
Besonders bevorzugt ist natürlich vorgesehen, dass das wenigstens eine Leuchtmittel benachbart zum Druckstift angeordnet ist. Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist weiters vorgesehen, dass die Antriebsvorrichtung wenigstens einen Elektromotor aufweist.Of course, it is particularly preferably provided that the at least one lighting means is arranged adjacent to the pressure pin.

Fig. 1 a zeigt in perspektivischer Ansicht ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines Schaltelements 4 mit einem federnd gelagerten Stift 7, wobei benachbart zum Stift 7 zwei als Leuchtdioden (LED) ausgebildete Leuchtmittel angeordnet sind.Fig. 1a shows a perspective view of an embodiment of a switching element 4 with a spring-mounted pin 7, wherein adjacent to the pin 7 as two light-emitting diodes (LED) formed bulbs are arranged.
Der Aufbau des Schaltelements 4 geht insbesondere aus der Explosionsdarstellung der Fig. 1 b hervor. Zu sehen ist, dass der Stift 7 einen gezahnten Fortsatz 8 aufweist, welcher mit dem als Zahnrad 9 ausgebildeten Stellglied eines der Positionsmessung dienenden Drehpotentiometers 10 kämmt.The construction of the switching element 4 is apparent in particular from the exploded view of Fig. 1 b. It can be seen that the pin 7 has a toothed extension 8, which meshes with the formed as a gear 9 actuator of a position measurement rotary potentiometer 10.
Weiters erkennbar ist eine Feder 11 zur Beaufschlagung des Stiftes 7, sowie elektrische Leitungen 12, welche der Stromversorgung der Platine 13 samt darauf angeordnetem Drehpotentiometer 10 sowie der Weiterleitung der Signale des Potentiometers zu einer nicht dargestellten Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung der Antriebsvorrichtung 5 dient.Furthermore, a spring 11 for acting on the pin 7, as well as electrical lines 12, which the power supply of the circuit board 13 together with rotary potentiometer 10 arranged thereon and the forwarding of the signals of Potentiometer to a control or regulating device, not shown, of the drive device 5 is used.
Die Leitungen 12 können in einem Kanal 14 geschützt in einer Wand oder einem Boden des in Fig. 3 näher dargestellten Möbelkorpus 2 verlaufen.The conduits 12 may extend in a channel 14 protected in a wall or a floor of the furniture body 2 shown in more detail in Fig. 3.
Das Schaltelement 4 wird durch einen Gehäusedeckel 15 abgedeckt. Zur Zugentlastung der Leitungen 12 ist ein Kabelhalter 16 vorgesehen.The switching element 4 is covered by a housing cover 15. To strain relief of the lines 12, a cable holder 16 is provided.
Die Fig. 2a bis 2c zeigen drei unterschiedliche Betriebsstellungen des Stiftes 7 des Schaltelementes 4. Da die Feder 11 als Druckfeder ausgebildet ist, wird der Stift 7 durch die Druckfeder stets mit einer Kraft beaufschlagt, die ihn aus dem Gehäuse hinausdrücken möchte.2a to 2c show three different operating positions of the pin 7 of the switching element 4. Since the spring 11 is formed as a compression spring, the pin 7 is always acted upon by the compression spring with a force that wants to push him out of the housing.
In Fig. 2b, welche die Neutralstellung des Schaltelements 4 darstellt, wird der Stift 7 durch ein nicht dargestelltes bewegbares Möbelteil 3 in der gezeigten Stellung gegen die Beaufschlagung der Feder 11 gehalten. In Fig. 2a wurde das bewegbare Möbelteil 3 vom Stift 7 durch einen Benutzer wegbewegt, wodurch die Feder 11 den Stift 7 aus dem Gehäuse hinausdrücken kann. Dies wird durch das Drehpotentiometer 10 detektiert und über die Leitungen 12 an eine nicht dargestellte Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung zur Auslösung der Antriebsvorrichtung übermittelt. In Fig. 2c wurde das bewegbare Möbelteil in den Möbelkorpus hineinbewegt, wodurch auch der Stift 7 gegen die Beaufschlagung der Feder 11 weit in das Gehäuse gedrückt wurde. Wiederum wird diese Bewegung vom Drehpotentiometer 10 detektiert und über die Leitungen 12 an eine nicht dargestellte Steuer- bzw. Regeleinheit zur Aktivierung der Antriebsvorrichtung 5 weitergeleitet.In Fig. 2b, which illustrates the neutral position of the switching element 4, the pin 7 is held by a not shown movable furniture part 3 in the position shown against the application of the spring 11. In Fig. 2a, the movable furniture part 3 has been moved away from the pin 7 by a user, whereby the spring 11 can push the pin 7 out of the housing. This is detected by the rotary potentiometer 10 and transmitted via lines 12 to a control or regulating device, not shown, for triggering the drive device. In Fig. 2c, the movable furniture part was moved into the furniture body, whereby the pin 7 was pressed against the application of the spring 11 far into the housing. Again, this movement is detected by the rotary potentiometer 10 and forwarded via lines 12 to a control unit, not shown, for activating the drive device 5.
Fig. 3 zeigt das Schaltelement 4 nach den Fig. 1 und 2 im Montagezustand in einem Möbelkorpus 2. Erkennbar sind weiters zwei Montagezapfen 17 im noch nicht eingedrückten Zustand. Durch das Eindrücken der Zapfen 17, hält das Gehäuse des Schaltelements 4 in der Bohrung im Möbelkorpus 2.Fig. 3 shows the switching element 4 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 in the assembled state in a furniture carcass 2. Recognizable are further two mounting pins 17 in the not yet depressed state. By pressing in the pins 17, the housing of the switching element 4 holds in the bore in the furniture body. 2

In this embodiment, the drive device 5 is integrated for the furniture part 3 in the adjusting mechanism for the Möbelteil.3 itself.
Zur Sicherstellung eines ausreichenden Eindrückweges für das Möbelteil 3 in dessen Schließlage am Möbelkorpus 2 sind nicht dargestellte Distanzhalter, zum Beispiel Federpuffer vorzusehen.To ensure a sufficient Eindrückweges for the furniture part 3 in its closed position on the furniture body 2, spacers, not shown, to provide, for example spring buffer.
Über das Drehpotentiometer 10 ist außerdem ein Ausgleich von Einbautoleranzen möglich. Selbstverständlich kann anstelle des Drehpotentiometers 10 auch ein Linearpotentiometer vorgesehen sein.About the rotary potentiometer 10 is also a compensation of installation tolerances possible. Of course, instead of the rotary potentiometer 10, a linear potentiometer may be provided.
Anstelle der .Anordnung eines Potentiometers kann natürlich auch die Anordnung einfacher Schalter vorgesehen sein, die durch den Stift 7 mechanisch betätigt werden und bei Betätigung einen elektrischen Kontakt schließen. Diese Schalter können als Tast- oder Drehschalter sowie als „Öffner" (Kontakt schließt bei Freigabe des Schalters) oder als „Schließer" (Kontakt schließt bei Betätigung des Schalters) ausgebildet sein. Instead of the .Anordnung a potentiometer can of course also be provided the arrangement of simple switch, which are mechanically actuated by the pin 7 and close an electrical contact when actuated. These switches can be designed as a push-button or rotary switch and as a "normally closed contact" (contact closes when the switch is released) or as a "make contact" (contact closes when the switch is actuated).
