Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einzugsvorrichtung für Schubladen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a feed device for Drawers according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Einzugsvorrichtung ist dem Prinzip nach aus der WO 92/04843 A bekannt. Sie soll gewährleisten, daß die Schublade ab einer bestimmten Einschiebestellung selbsttätig in die Schließlage gezogen und in dieser Schließlage durch die Federn festgehalten wird. Die Federn werden beim Ausziehen der Schublade vorgespannt.Such a feeding device is basically out WO 92/04843 A known. It should ensure that the Drawer automatically from a certain insertion position pulled into the closed position and through in this closed position the feathers is held. The springs are pulled out the drawer biased.

Bei dieser bekannten Einzugsvorrichtung gehen die Linearführungen gegen das Auszugsende hin in eine Verbreiterung über, die eine Kulissenführung für das als Gleitstein ausgebildete Verbindungselement, an dem die Feder seitlichmittig angreift, darstellen. Für das abgerundete Vorderende des Mitnehmers weist diese Kulissenführung zunächst abgeschrägt nach außen, geht dann in einen parallel zur Linearführung verlaufenden geraden Teil über und schließt mit einer Anschlagwand ab. Für das abgeschrägte Hinterende des Verbindungselementes geht seine Linearführung in einen nach außen gerichteten Bogen und dann in einen wieder linearen Führungsteil über. Eine Ecke zwischen Bogen und linearem Führungsteil der Kulissenführung soll einen Rastanschlag für dieses abgeschrägte Ende des Verbindungselementes bilden. Beim Ausziehen kippt das Verbindungselement in eine Schräglage zwischen den beiden Linearteilen der Kulissenführung und liegt mit seiner hinteren Schrägseite am erwähnten Bogen an.In this known feed device, the linear guides go towards the end of the pull-out in a widening over that a backdrop guide for that as a sliding block trained connecting element on which the spring laterally in the center attacks, represent. For the rounded front end of the driver has this slotted guide initially beveled to the outside, then goes in a parallel to the linear guide straight part over and closes with a stop wall. For the slanted rear end of the Connecting element follows its linear guide in one outward arc and then in a linear again Guide part about. A corner between arc and linear Guide part of the scenery guide should have a stop form for this beveled end of the connecting element. When pulling out, the connecting element tilts into one Oblique position between the two linear parts of the link guide and lies with its rear sloping side on the mentioned Bow on.

Nachteilig bei der bekannten Konstruktion sind das aufwendige, wegen der Kulissenführung breite Führungsgehäuse, was den Einbau erschwert und eine nicht eindeutig definierte Gesamtfunktion, wobei sowohl die Möglichkeit gegeben ist, daß am Ende des Auszugsweges keine ordnungsgemäße Verrastung stattfindet und dadurch das Verbindungselement nach Freigabe der Lade durch die Feder in die Ausgangslage zurückgezogen wird, also die Einzugsvorrichtung ihre Funktion verliert, als auch nach der anderen Möglichkeit über den auflaufenden Mitnehmer beim Schlieen der Lade ein beträchtlicher Durck zum Lösen der Verrastung ausgeübt werden muß, so daß schließlich das Verbindungselement unter starker Geräuschentwicklung aus der Verrastung gelöst wird. Wegen der möglichen Fehlfunktion ist im Halteteil eine Fangvorrichtung vorgesehen, mit deren Hilfe das Verbindungselement dann, wenn keine ordnungsgemäße Verrastung mit dem Mitnehmer stattgefunden hat, neuerlich in der voll eingezogenen Stellung mit dem Mitnehmer gekuppelt und ausgezogen werden kann.The disadvantage of the known construction is that because of the slide guide wide guide housing what the installation difficult and a not clearly defined Overall function, with both the possibility being given that there is no proper locking at the end of the pull-out path takes place and thereby the connecting element after release the drawer is pulled back into the starting position by the spring the feed device loses its function, as well as the other way over the accumulating Driver when closing the drawer a considerable Pressure must be exerted to release the catch, so that finally the connecting element under strong Noise development is released from the latching. Because of the possible malfunction is a safety device in the holding part provided, with the help of the connecting element then when there is no proper locking with the driver has taken place again in the fully retracted position can be coupled and pulled out with the driver.

Eine aus der EP-B 0 386 731 bekannte Einzugsvorrichtung sieht innerhalb des Gehäuses eine Kulissenführung für das Verbindungselement vor, die am einzugsseitigen Ende einen Anschlag für einen Führungsbolzen des Verbindungselementes aufweist und am anderen Ende eine Krümmung besitzt, die das Verbindungselement am Ende des Auszugsweges in die den Mitnehmer freigebende Kipplage leitet. Die Konstruktion ist zwar betriebssicher, im Gesamtaufbau aber sehr aufwendig und hat ein relativ großes Bauvolumen, wodurch die Unterbringung an den Korpusschienen erschwert wird. Nachteilig ist auch, daß bei dieser Einzugsvorrichtung eine Montage mit hochgestelltem Führungsgehäuse notwendig ist, wodurch sich die Lage des Mitnehmers zur Rast je nach Belastung der Lade verändern kann und sogar die Gefahr besteht, daß der Mitnehmer beim Einfahren der Lade die Verrastung verfehlt. Bei Weiterbildungen dieser Konstruktion hat man danach getrachtet, das Bauvolumen zu verinngern und die Anordnung so zu treffen, daß auch eine liegende Montage des Gehäuses möglich wird, wobei zur Vereinfachung des Gesamtaufbaues ein rinnenförmiges Gehäuse vorgesehen wird, das mit zur Korpusschiene weisender Profilöffnung montiert wird. Bei einer Ausführung der Einzugsvorrichtung nach der EP-A 391 221 wird das Verbindungselement über zwei Zapfen in einer von einer Nut oder Rille gebildeten Führungsbahn des Führungsgehäuses geführt, wobei auch hier die Führungsbahn am ausziehseitigen Ende in einen Bogen übergeht, um den Halteteil in die Ausziehkipplage zu leiten.A feeder device known from EP-B 0 386 731 sees a backdrop guide for the inside of the housing Connecting element in front, the one at the feed end Stop for a guide pin of the connecting element has and at the other end has a curvature that the Connecting element at the end of the pull-out path in the Carrier releasing tipping position conducts. The construction is Although reliable, the overall structure is very complex and has a relatively large build volume, which makes the accommodation on the body rails is difficult. Disadvantageous is also that with this feeder assembly with a raised guide housing is necessary, whereby the position of the driver to rest depending on the load of the Ark can change and there is even a risk that the Carrier missed the catch when retracting the drawer. With further developments of this construction one has afterwards sought to internalize the construction volume and the arrangement so that a horizontal installation of the housing is possible, whereby to simplify the overall structure a trough-shaped housing is provided, which with the body rail pointing profile opening is mounted. At a Execution of the feed device according to EP-A 391 221 the connecting element via two pins in one of one Groove or groove formed guideway of the guide housing guided, with the guideway on the pull-out side Ends in an arc to the holding part in the Extend tilting position.

Nach der DE-A 41 24 512 wird angestrebt, mit einer einfachen Linearführung des Führungsgehäuses das Auslangen zu finden. Um dies zu erreichen, wird allerdings im rinnenförmigen Führungsgehäuse lediglich ein mit der Feder verbundener Schlitten gelagert und an diesem Schlitten erst ein Kippsegment angebracht, das die Aufnahmerast für den Mitnehmer besitzt und sich mit einem Fühler an einem eigenen Führungssteg abstützt, der es am Ende des Auszugsweges so weit freigibt, daß der Mitnehmer aus der Rast austreten kann. Auch hier ergibt die mehrteilige Ausbildung einen aufwendigen Aufbau. Die schwenkbare Lagerung des Kippsegmentes am Schlitten ist nicht betriebssicher und das Gesamtbauvolumen ist so groß, daß fallweise der Einbau erschwert wird.According to DE-A 41 24 512, the aim is simple Linear guide of the guide housing to find the sufficiency. To achieve this, however, is in the channel-shaped guide housing just a carriage connected to the spring stored and only a tilting segment on this slide attached, which has the receiving catch for the driver and is supported by a sensor on its own guide bar, who releases it so far at the end of the pull-out path that the driver can exit the rest. Here too the multi-part training results in a complex structure. The pivoting bearing of the tilting segment on the slide is not reliable and the total construction volume is so large that installation is sometimes difficult.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist demnach die Schaffung einer Einzugsvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art, die bei einfachstem Aufbau leicht montierbar ist, ein geringes Bauvolumen aufweist und bei der trotzdem eine hohe Betriebssicherheit und ein geräuscharmer Betrieb gewährleistet bleibt. The object of the invention is therefore to create a feed device of the type mentioned, which is the simplest Structure is easy to assemble, a small volume and with a high level of operational reliability and quiet operation is guaranteed.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmalskombination des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.The task is achieved through the combination of features of claim 1 solved.

Das Führungsgehäuse besitzt nur einfache Linearführungen und das Verbindungselement kann trotzdem einfach und einteilig ausgebildet werden. Es ergibt sich eine geringe Gesamtbauhöhe und die Teile können problemlos zusammengesetzt und montiert werden, wobei man wieder eine Montage mit zur Korpusschiene weisender Rinnenöffnung vorsehen wird, so daß die wesentlichen Teile der Einzugsvorrichtung und insbesondere die Führungen vor Verschmutzung geschützt bleiben. Entscheidend für die Erfindung ist die Erkenntnis, daß man durch die entsprechende Konstruktion des Rastvorsprunges und die Anordnung der Rastvertiefung bzw. Rastöffnung auf die bisherigen aufwendigen Kulissenführungen verzichten kann, obwohl das Verbindungselement einteilig hergestellt ist und sowohl als Mitnehmer für die Feder als auch als Verrastungseinrichtung in beiden Kipplagen dient. Neben der hohen Betriebssicherheit ist auch ein sehr geräuscharmer Betrieb gewährleistet.The guide housing has only simple linear guides and the connecting element can still be simple and be formed in one piece. The result is a small one Overall height and the parts can be put together easily and be assembled, being an assembly again with a channel opening facing the cabinet rail, so that the essential parts of the feeder and especially the guides are protected from dirt stay. The key to the invention is the knowledge that that one by the appropriate construction of the locking projection and the arrangement of the locking recess or locking opening to the previous elaborate backdrop tours can do without, although the connecting element in one piece is manufactured and used both as a driver for the spring also serves as a locking device in both tilt positions. In addition to the high operational reliability is also a very quiet operation guaranteed.

Durch eine Ausgestaltung gemäß Anspruch 2 wird jede der beiden Kippstellungen eindeutig definiert und eine ordnungsgemäße Funktion gewährleistet. Der in die Aufnahmerast eingreifende Zapfen erzeugt selbst beim Ausziehen der Lade ein auf den Mitnehmer wirkendes Kippmoment, so daß er den Mitnehmer beim Erreichen der Rastöffnung oder -vertiefung entsprechend in die Freigabelage kippt.By an embodiment according to claim 2, each of the two Tilt positions clearly defined and a proper one Function guaranteed. The one in the shooting rest engaging pin creates even when pulling out the drawer a tipping moment acting on the driver, so that it Driver when reaching the locking opening or recess accordingly tilts into the release position.

Um einen im Verhältnis zu dem vom Mitnehmer auf die Rast erzeugten Hub größeren Verstellweg des Rastvorsprunges zu erzielen, kann eine Ausführung nach Anspruch 3 gewählt werden, bei der das Verbindungselement praktisch am kürzeren Schenkelteil eines einarmigen Hebels angreift, der um die Kippachse schwenkbar ist und am längeren Schenkel den Rastvorsprung bildet.To one in relation to that of the driver on the rest generated stroke greater adjustment of the locking projection achieve, can be selected according to claim 3 be in which the connecting element is practically the shorter Leg portion of a one-armed lever that attacks around the Tilt axis is pivotable and the locking projection on the longer leg forms.

Die Einzugsvorrichtung besitzt ein Führungsgehäuse 1, das einen rinnenförmigen, beim Ausführungsförmig ungleichschenkelig U-förmigen Querschnitt aufweist, an den Enden durch Querwände 2, 3 abgeschlossen ist und mit zu einer nur in den Fig. 2 und 4 angedeuteten Korpusschiene 4 weisender Gehäuseöffnung an dieser Korpusschiene, wie dargestellt, stehend oder auch unterseitig an einer solchen Korpusschiene anliegend, also liegend, in Längsrichtung der Korpusschiene befestigt werden kann. Das Gehäuse 1 reicht nur über einen Teil der Länge der Korpusschiene. Der breitere obere Flansch 5 und der schmälere untere Flansch 6 des Gehäuses 1 bilden mit ihrer Innenseite Linearführungen für ein Verbindungselement 7, das seinerseits für die wechselweise Anlage an diesen Linearführungen bestimmte Führungsflächen 8 und 9 aufweist und mit einem neben dem verkürzten Flansch 6 aus dem Gehäuse 1 herausragenden Halteteil 10 versehen ist. In diesem Halteteil ist eine Verrastungsvertiefung 11 vorgesehen, die ausziehseitig von einer kürzeren Nase 12 und einschubseitig von einer längeren Nase 13 begrenzt ist. In der Stellung nach den Fig. 1 und 2 greift ein Zapfen 14 der nicht dargestellten Lade in die Verrastungsvertiefung 11 ein. Innerhalb des Gehäuses 1 ist eine mit dem Verbindungselement 7 verbundene Zugfeder 15 angebracht, die beim Ausziehen der Lade über Zapfen 14 und Verbindungselemet 7 vorgespannt wird.The feeder has a guide housing 1, the a trough-shaped, uneven-legged in the execution form Has U-shaped cross-section at the ends is completed by transverse walls 2, 3 and with one only in Figs. 2 and 4 indicated body rail 4 pointing Housing opening on this body rail, as shown standing or on the underside of one Body rail adjacent, i.e. lying, in the longitudinal direction of the Body rail can be attached. The housing 1 is enough only over part of the length of the body rail. The wider one upper flange 5 and the narrower lower flange 6 of the Housing 1 form with their inside linear guides a connecting element 7, which in turn for the alternately System on these linear guides certain guide surfaces 8 and 9 and with an abbreviated Flange 6 holding part 10 protruding from housing 1 is provided. There is a locking recess in this holding part 11 provided, the pull-out side of a shorter nose 12 and insert side of a longer nose 13 is limited. In the position according to FIGS. 1 and 2 engages a pin 14 of the drawer, not shown, in the Locking recess 11 a. Inside the housing 1 is a tension spring 15 connected to the connecting element 7 attached, when pulling out the drawer via pin 14 and Connection element 7 is biased.

Mit Längsabstand von der Verrastungsvertiefung 11 trägt das Verbindungselement 7 einen hakenförmigen Rastvorsprung 16, der in der Stellung nach Fig. 1 mit seinem Ende an der Innenseite des Flansches 5 anliegt und gemeinsam mit der Führungsfläche 8 und einer von der Fläche 9 ausgehenden Rundung das Verbindungselement 7 an den Flanschen 5, 6 führt.With a longitudinal distance from the locking recess 11 that carries Connecting element 7 a hook-shaped locking projection 16, the in the position of FIG. 1 with its end on the Bears inside of the flange 5 and together with the Guide surface 8 and one starting from surface 9 Rounding the connecting element 7 on the flanges 5, 6 leads.

Das Ende des möglichen Auszugsweges ist durch eine Verrastungsöffnung 17 im Flansch 5 bestimmt, in die der Verrastungshaken 16, wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt, eintreten kann. Dabei ist festzuhalten, daß der Zapfen 14 durch seine Anlage an der Nase 12 während des Ausziehvorganges ein Kippmoment auf den Halteteil 17 ausübt, das den Haken 16 zunächst gegen die Innenseite des Flansches 5 drückt und beim Erreichen der Rastöffnung 17 das Ausschwenken des Hakens 16 unter Kippung des gesamten Verbindungselementes 7 bewirkt. In der Stellung nach Fig. 3 gibt die Nase 12 und damit die Rastöffnung 11 den Zapfen 14 frei, so daß die Lade nun frei ausgezogen werden kann. Der hakenförmige Rastvorsprung 16 verrastet mit dem Rand der Öffnung 17 und hält dadurch das Verbindungselement 7 und die vorgespannte Feder 15 in der Lage nach Fig. 3.The end of the possible extension path is by a Locking opening 17 is determined in the flange 5, in which the locking hook 16, as shown in Fig. 3, can occur. It should be noted that the pin 14 through its system a tilting moment on the nose 12 during the pull-out process exerts on the holding part 17, which the hook 16 initially presses against the inside of the flange 5 and at Reaching the latch opening 17, the swiveling out of the hook 16 while tilting the entire connecting element 7 causes. 3 gives the nose 12 and so that the locking opening 11 the pin 14 free, so that the drawer can now be pulled out freely. The hook-shaped locking projection 16 latches with the edge of the opening 17 and holds thereby the connecting element 7 and the prestressed spring 15 in the position according to FIG. 3.

Beim Einfahren der Lade trifft der Zapfen 14 auf die Nase 13 auf und erzeugt dadurch ein Rückkippmoment, wodurch sich der Haken 16 aus seiner Verrastung mit dem Rand der Öffnung 17 löst und wieder unter den Flansch 5 eintritt, so daß die Relativlage der Rastöffnung 11 und des Zapfens 14 erreicht wird, wie sie in Fig. 1 dargestellt wurde. Die Feder 15 hat nun das Bestreben, die Lade in die Schließstellung zu ziehen und bewirkt den entsprechenden Einzug nach Freigabe der Lade.When retracting the drawer, the pin 14 hits the nose 13 and thereby generates a backward moment, which causes the hook 16 out of its engagement with the edge of the opening 17 releases and enters again under the flange 5, so that the Relative position of the locking opening 11 and the pin 14 reached as shown in Fig. 1. The spring 15 has now the effort to pull the drawer into the closed position and causes the corresponding move-in after approval of the Loading.
