The specific embodiment

In these figure, represent to be used for the adjusting device that furniture parts is carried out side direction or highly regulates respectively with Reference numeral 1.

Adjusting device 1 can for example be designed to the arrangement for adjusting height of cupboard, but adjusting device 1 also can be used for the front bezels for drawers of furniture is carried out oriented sideways.Because adjusting device 1 purposes that is used for purpose different, that occur in the furniture manufacturing has lower importance here, thus only show the structure and the mode of action on the principle of each adjusting device 1 in the drawings, below to its also correspondingly explanation.

Adjusting device 1 chief component is respectively actuator 2 and supporting member 3.Actuator 2 has cylindrical configuration basically.Supporting member 3 is provided with a receiving opening 4, and columniform actuator 2 is packed in this receiving opening.

In embodiment according to Fig. 1 to 8, actuator 2 has the gathering sill 5 of two cam gear types, these two gathering sills oppositely arrange each other and a position carry out the transition to each other with being designed to similar shape in/handing-over each other, wherein said position is called " fork " below and represents with Reference numeral 6.

Projection 7 in two edge zones that are arranged on receiving opening 4 embeds in the gathering sills 5, these two projections are provided with on 180 ° of ground of radial offset each other, thereby each other on diameter relatively, and actuator 2 axially on be provided with by the lift size of gathering sill 5 each other with staggering.

It is semicircle that the cross section general design of gathering sill 5 becomes, and embed the cross section of the projection 7 in the described gathering sill 5 and the cross section of gathering sill 5 is complementary.

Actuator 2 is provided with recess, preferred cross recess recess 2a at least one is distolateral, so that can be used to handle the instrument of actuator 2.

If actuator 2 is around the rotation of its longitudinal axis, then this design form owing to the cam gear type of gathering sill 5 causes actuator 2 moving on its longitudinal axis and carry out round fully moving axially under the situation of rotation one complete cycle with respect to supporting member 3.In other words, actuator 2 at first moves to a shift position, moves to another shift position in the opposite direction at most then a direction maximum from a given home position under the situation of complete cycle rotation, makes to reach original initial position again after finishing 360 ° of rotations.That is to say, under the situation of actuator Rotate 180 °, realize since the maximal regulated (amount) of a home position of determining.At this, described definite home position is respectively one of possible final position of actuator 2.

Ground is provided with because these two gathering sills 5 oppositely distribute on its tendency each other, so in an adjusting position of determining, one of projection 7 is positioned at the zone at above-mentioned fork 6, and another projection 7 one of gathering sill 5 relative, with place, the corresponding summit of maximal regulated stroke., a gathering sill, the guiding of a projection 7 has been guaranteed fully present actuator 2 that another projection 7 that is arranged in 6 zones, fork forcibly imports the opposite gathering sill 5 that distributes if beginning rotation---wherein direction of rotation is unimportant at this---from this position.

Described interaction just takes place behind actuator 2 every Rotate 180s °, and this interaction be used for not only on each direction of rotation and also obviously surpass 360 ° repeat all guide actuator 2 under the rotation situation reliably, guarantee all the time that wherein actuator 2 only moves range corresponding to the lift size of gathering sill 5 vertically at this.

Different with adjusting device based on screw, the overload of the furniture parts of adjusting can not appear treating.

In the receiving opening 4 that is provided with projection 7 that actuator 2 is more easily packed into, actuator 2 is the company's of being equipped with axial groove 8 respect to one another in its circumferential area, and one of wherein said axial groove 8 advantageously aims at fork 6 and relative axial groove 8 relatively is provided with fork 6 on diameter.The degree of depth of axial groove 8 is less than the degree of depth of gathering sill 5, and this is particularly by according to the cutaway view of Fig. 5 as seen.

Realize thus, though require to apply certain power make actuator 2 and here particularly its gathering sill 5 engage with projection 7, after projection 7 snaps in the gathering sill 5, can avoid actuator 2 automatic axial from receiving opening 4 to shift out reliably.Aforesaid assembling form is certainly simplified like this, promptly at least supporting member 3 or actuator 2, be more preferably two members and all make by elastoplast.Actuator 2 also can be imagined with other possibility that its gathering sill 5 engages with projection 7, for example actuator 2 itself and/or projection 7 are designed to flexiblely by measure on the structure, make projection 7 snap in to a certain extent in the gathering sill 5.

In the embodiment according to Fig. 1 to 8, actuator 2 is arranged on one and can regards as in the member 9 of fixed-site distolateral, and itself is axially not removable thus.This makes that supporting member 3 moves on its axial direction with respect to actuator 2 when actuator 2 rotations.

Form of implementation shown in this can be for example with the lateral adjustment device that acts on front bezels for drawers, and wherein the member 9 of fixed-site can be the side frame of drawer in this case, and supporting member 3 is designed to the final member fixed thereon of front bezels for drawers.

Can also further like this simplification according to the embodiment of Fig. 1 to 8, promptly not to arrange two gathering sills 5, but a this gathering sill 5 only is set.Because in this unique gathering sill 5, also can only embed a projection 7 like this, so but in the form of implementation of simplifying like this load slightly be restricted, have the danger of actuator 2 warpage in its receiving opening 4 equally here in theory at least.But under external applied load smaller applications occasion, also can not consider these theoretic explanations, advantageously use the form of implementation of simplifying like this.

Do not consider these, also can be considered to favourable according to embodiment Fig. 1 to 8, that have two gathering sills, because can realize a kind of more flat version here, wherein flat supporting member 3 and the less thickness that has only of other member correspondingly of shoulding be understood to.

When two complete closed are set and when separating each other the gathering sill 5 that is provided with, as according to as shown in the embodiment of Fig. 9 and 10, but then obtained higher load and intensity and guiding preferably, but made that equally the width of whole adjusting device 1 is bigger.

In previously described embodiment, gathering sill 5 is separately positioned in the actuator 2, and projection 7 is arranged in the supporting member 3.

Different therewith, also can make frame mode opposite naturally, that is to say that projection 7 can be arranged on the actuator 2 (sees Figure 11 and 12), correspondingly gathering sill is arranged on the inside of edge of the receiving opening 4 of supporting member 3.But this project organization causes the bigger structure width of whole adjusting device, and when to the width of the whole device in concrete application scenario when inessential, this is favourable sometimes thus.

For example when adjusting device 1 usefulness acts on the arrangement for adjusting height of cupboard, that is to say that situation was like this when in fact adjusting device 1 was formed for the adjustable for height pedestal of cupboard furniture.

When the receiving opening 4 of actuator 2 and/or supporting member 3 is equipped with a plurality of gathering sills 7, when described gathering sill is provided with to distribution parallel to each other respectively, just realized a kind of stable especially form of implementation in this multiple arrangement.But not only improved load thus, prevented that actuator is with respect to the warpage of support holes 4 and the reliability of inclination but also improved.Corresponding form of implementation is shown in Figure 13 and 14.

Regulate according to the present invention adjusting device 1 because the only lasting rotation on a direction of rotation can be passed through toward ground return, take moving part 10 so for example can advantageously on actuator 2, be provided with one, this takes moving part can be by corresponding device thereof 11 by exerting pressure or pulling force and only rotation in one direction all the time, and this is favourable when adjusting device 1 is difficult for closely being arranged on the furniture for example.According to adjusting device of the present invention thus also can be on commercial common instrument position that can not arrive, can not be approaching cosily with without a doubt in all direction adjusted.

A kind of corresponding form of implementation is shown in Figure 15 and 16.

According to applicable cases meaningfully, select the tendency of gathering sill 5 like this, make in bigger angle range the more smooth rising that realizes gathering sill 5, and when readjustment, in corresponding little angle range, realize the reduction of described or each described gathering sill the last 5.The advantage of this scheme is, can realize adjusting back apace by mistake above near the adjustment process the summit of a gathering sill 5 or a plurality of gathering sill 5 time.

Figure 17 and 18 illustrates, and also can be used for the spring 12 that acts on a certain furniture component is carried out pretension more or less according to adjusting device 1 of the present invention.

The modification of the corresponding adjusting device of other application scenario that is used for the furniture manufacturing for the professional in the furniture manufacturing field, can be imagined without doubt in only exemplary particularly preferred enforcement modification and the application scenario of illustrating of described embodiment.

With shown in embodiment different, can expect that also supporting member 3 is separated and is formed by two support halfs, wherein the mid point of interface extend past receiving opening 4.Particularly under multiple tracks gathering sill situation, this advantage of assembling the associated components of adjusting device 1 simply of separately having brought of supporting member 3.
