Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Ausstoßvorrichtung für ein bewegbares Möbelteil, mit einem Hebel zur Kraftübertragung auf das bewegbare Möbelteil, wobei der Hebel einen Hebelkörper aufweist, der einerseits um eine Drehachse begrenzt drehbar gelagert ist und andererseits ein freies Hebelende aufweist.The present invention relates to an ejection device for a movable furniture part, with a lever for transmitting power to the movable furniture part, wherein the lever has a lever body which is rotatably mounted limited on the one hand about a rotation axis and on the other hand has a free end of the lever.
Derartige Ausstoßvorrichtungen werden bereits seit langem eingesetzt. Über eine meist elektrisch ausgebildete Antriebseinheit wird dabei ein Drehmoment M auf den Hebelkörper ausgeübt. Ist die Ausstoßvorrichtung in einem Möbelkorpus angeordnet, so ergibt sich die vom Hebelkörper auf das bewegbare Möbelteil ausgeübte Kraft F in Abhängigkeit vom Kraftarm r durch die Formel F = M/r. Siehe beispielsweise
Bei einem von der Antriebseinheit vorgegebenen Drehmoment M ist daher die auf das bewegbare Möbelteil ausgeübte Kraft F umso kleiner, je größer der Kraftarm r ist. Die Größe des Kraftarms r entspricht natürlich dem Abstand zwischen der Drehachse und der Stelle, an dem der Hebelkörper das bewegbare Möbeltür berührt. Da der Hebelkörper beim Stand der Technik mit seinem freien Hebelende am bewegbaren Möbelteil anliegt, entspricht dort der Kraftarm r im Wesentlichen der Länge des Hebelkörpers.In a predetermined torque of the drive unit M therefore, the force applied to the movable furniture part F force F is smaller, the larger the force arm r is. The size of the force arm r of course corresponds to the distance between the axis of rotation and the point at which the lever body touches the movable furniture door. Since the lever body rests in the prior art with its free end of the lever on the movable furniture part, there corresponds to the power arm r substantially the length of the lever body.
Da die Größe der Strecke, über die der Hebelkörper auf das bewegbare Möbelteil überhaupt eine Kraft F ausüben kann, bevor sich das bewegbare Möbelteil vom Hebelkörper abhebt, durch die Länge des Hebelkörpers beeinflusst wird, kann der Hebelkörper nicht zu kurz ausgestaltet werden.Since the size of the distance over which the lever body can exert any force F on the movable furniture part before the movable furniture part lifts off from the lever body is influenced by the length of the lever body, the lever body can not be made too short.
Dies bringt beim Stand der Technik den Nachteil mit sich, dass aufgrund des großen Kraftarms r nur eine geringe Kraft F auf das bewegbare Möbelteil übertragen werden kann. Besonders in der anfänglichen Beschleunigungsphase, in der das bewegbare Möbelteil aus dem Stillstand unter Überwindung seiner Massenträgheit beschleunigt werden muss, führt dies zu einer massiven Belastung der Antriebseinheit und aufgrund der geringen Beschleunigung zu einem langsamen Ausstoßvorgang.This brings in the prior art has the disadvantage that due to the large force arm r only a small force F can be transferred to the movable furniture part. Especially in the initial acceleration phase, in which the movable furniture part must be accelerated from standstill, overcoming its inertia, this leads to a massive load on the drive unit and due to the low acceleration to a slow ejection process.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Ausstoßvorrichtung zu schaffen, bei der diese Probleme nicht auftreten.The object of the invention is to provide an ejection device in which these problems do not occur.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Ausstoßvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by an ejection device with the features of
Das Vorsehen eines von der Drehachse und dem freien Hebelende beabstandeten gekrümmten Bereichs hat im Wesentlichen den Effekt, dass bei einer in einem Möbelkorpus montierten erfindungsgemäßen Ausstoßvorrichtung der Hebelkörper in der geschlossenen Endlage des bewegbaren Möbelteils zuerst mit dem gekrümmten Bereich am bewegbaren Möbelteil zur Anlage kommt. Gerade zu Beginn des Ausstoßvorganges liegt daher effektiv ein kürzerer Kraftarm r vor, als bei einem Hebel nach dem Stand der Technik mit einem gleich dimensionierten Hebelkörper.The provision of a curved area spaced from the axis of rotation and the free end of the lever has, in essence, the effect that, in the case of an ejection device mounted in a furniture body, the lever body first comes into contact with the curved area on the movable furniture part in the closed end position of the movable furniture part. Therefore, at the beginning of the ejection process, a shorter force arm r is effectively present than in the case of a lever according to the prior art with an identically dimensioned lever body.
Dies führt dazu, dass zu Beginn des Ausstoßvorganges ein vorgegebenes Drehmoment M der Antriebseinheit in eine größere Kraft F auf das bewegbare Möbelteil übersetzt wird. Dies verringert einerseits die Belastung der Antriebseinheit (zum Beispiel bei einer elektrischen Antriebseinheit in Form einer geringeren thermischen Belastung) und bewirkt andererseits durch die größere Beschleunigung eine kürzere Ausstoßzeit. Vorteilhaft ist weiters, dass aufgrund der geringeren Belastung der Antriebseinheit auch die Geräuschentwicklung geringer ist als beim Stand der Technik. Überraschenderweise hat sich auch herausgestellt, dass die durch die Elastizität der beteiligten Komponenten (Hebelkörper, Bauteile des bewegbaren Möbelteils und des Möbelkorpus) unweigerlich auftretenden mechanischen Schwingungen bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Ausstoßvorrichtung gegenüber dem Stand der Technik stark verringert sind.This results in that at the beginning of the ejection process, a predetermined torque M of the drive unit is translated into a larger force F on the movable furniture part. On the one hand this reduces the load on the drive unit (for example in the case of an electric drive unit in the form of a lower thermal load) and on the other hand causes a shorter ejection time due to the greater acceleration. A further advantage is that due to the lower load of the drive unit and the noise is lower than in the prior art. Surprisingly, it has also been found that the inevitably occurring by the elasticity of the components involved (lever body, components of the movable furniture part and the furniture body) mechanical vibrations in an ejection device according to the invention over the prior art are greatly reduced.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Hebelkörper länglich ausgebildet ist und benachbart zum gekrümmten Bereich wenigstens ein weiterer gekrümmter Bereich vorgesehen ist. Diese zusätzlichen Bereiche können sich durchaus bis zum freien Hebelende und/oder bis zur Drehachse erstrecken. Je nach Dimensionierung der gekrümmten Bereiche kann hierdurch das Vorsehen einer größeren Drehbarkeit des Hebels möglich werden.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention can be provided that the lever body is elongated and adjacent to the curved portion at least one further curved portion is provided. These additional areas may well extend to the free end of the lever and / or to the axis of rotation. Depending on the dimensioning of the curved areas, the provision of a greater rotation of the lever can thereby be possible.
Beispielsweise kann vorgesehen sein, dass der gekrümmte Bereich bogenförmig ausgebildet ist. Sind zusätzliche gekrümmte Bereiche vorgesehen, können diese Teil desselben Bogens sein.For example, it can be provided that the curved area is arcuate. If additional curved areas are provided, they may be part of the same arc.
Besonders bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass der gekrümmte Bereich derart ausgebildet ist, dass im montierten Zustand der Ausstoßvorrichtung die Stelle, an der der Hebelkörper das bewegbare Möbelteil berührt, beim Ausstoßen des bewegbaren Möbelteils in Richtung des freien Hebelendes wandern kann. Hierdurch wird eine gleichmäßige Veränderung des Kraftarms r bewirkt und Sprünge in der ausgeübten Kraft F vermieden.Particularly preferably it is provided that the curved portion is formed such that in the mounted state of the ejection device, the point at which the lever body touches the movable furniture part, can move in the direction of the free end of the lever when ejecting the movable furniture part. As a result, a uniform change of the power arm r is effected and jumps in the applied force F avoided.
Eine einfache Auslösbarkeit der Ausstoßvorrichtung ist durch eine Touch-Latch-Funktionalität gegeben. Hierfür kann vorgesehen sein, dass ein Sensor, vorzugsweise ein Drehpotentiometer, zur Erfassung der Winkelstellung des Hebels vorgesehen ist. Beispielsweise kann dann vorgesehen sein, dass die Signale des Sensors einer Antriebsregeleinheit zuführbar sind, und dass die Antriebseinheit der Ausstoßvorrichtung von der Antriebsregeleinheit aktivierbar ist.A simple releasability of the ejector is given by a touch-latch functionality. For this purpose, it can be provided that a sensor, preferably a rotary potentiometer, is provided for detecting the angular position of the lever. For example, it can then be provided that the signals of the sensor of a drive control unit can be fed, and that the drive unit of the ejection device can be activated by the drive control unit.
Im montierten Zustand der Ausstoßvorrichtung am Möbelkorpus eines Möbels ist die Ausstoßvorrichtung natürlich derart am Möbelkorpus anzuordnen, dass der Hebelkörper in der geschlossenen Endlage des bewegbaren Möbelteils mit seinem gekrümmten Bereich am bewegbaren Möbelteil anliegt bzw. anlegbar ist.In the assembled state of the ejection device on the furniture body of a piece of furniture, the ejection device is of course to be arranged on the furniture body, that the lever body in the closed end position of the movable furniture part with its curved portion rests on the movable furniture part or can be applied.
Im Falle einer Touch-Latch-Funktionalität ist die Ausstoßvorrichtung im montierten Zustand durch ein Eindrücken des bewegbaren Möbelteils in dessen geschlossener Endlage in den Möbelkorpus hinein auslösbar.In the case of a touch-latch functionality, the ejection device in the assembled state can be triggered by pressing in the movable furniture part in its closed end position into the furniture carcass.
Überraschenderweise hat es sich bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung herausgestellt, dass das Vorsehen eines vorstehenden Bereichs am bewegbaren Möbelteil, der mit dem gekrümmten Bereich des Hebelkörpers zusammenwirkt, zu einer weiteren Verbesserung des Ausstoßvorganges führt. Durch diese Maßnahme wird nämlich erreicht, dass der Angriffspunkt des Hebelkörpers am bewegbaren Möbelteil während des gesamten Ausstoßvorganges im Wesentlichen auf eine vorgegebene Position, nämlich jene des vorstehenden Bereichs festgelegt ist. Dies bewirkt eine gleichmäßigere Kraftausübung der Ausstoßvorrichtung auf das bewegbare Möbelteil.Surprisingly, it has been found in a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention that the provision of a protruding portion on the movable furniture part, which cooperates with the curved portion of the lever body, leads to a further improvement of the ejection process. By this measure is namely achieved that the point of application of the lever body on the movable furniture part during the entire ejection process is substantially fixed to a predetermined position, namely that of the above range. This causes a more uniform application of force of the ejection device to the movable furniture part.
Beispielsweise kann zusätzlich vorgesehen sein, dass der vorstehende Bereich eine am bewegbaren Möbelteil angeordnete Laufrolle umfasst.For example, it can additionally be provided that the projecting area comprises a roller disposed on the movable furniture part.
Um zu bewirken, dass das Drehmoment M der Antriebseinheit während der anfänglichen Beschleunigungsphase des bewegbaren Möbelteils in eine möglichst große Kraft F umgesetzt wird, ist bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die Ausstoßvorrichtung derart im Möbelkorpus angeordnet ist, dass sich die Stelle, an der der Hebelkörper das bewegbare Möbelteil in der geschlossenen Endlage berührt, in der Nähe der Drehachse befindet.In order to cause the torque M of the drive unit during the initial acceleration phase of the movable furniture part in the largest possible force F is implemented, it is provided in a further advantageous embodiment of the invention that the ejection device is arranged in the furniture body, that is the point at which the lever body touches the movable furniture part in the closed end position, in the vicinity of the axis of rotation.
Beispielsweise kann bei dieser Ausführungsform vorgesehen sein, dass die Berührungsstelle um mehr als die Hälfte der Länge des Hebelkörpers vom freien Hebelende entfernt ist.For example, it may be provided in this embodiment that the contact point is removed by more than half the length of the lever body from the free end of the lever.
Beispiele für bewegbare Möbelteile im Sinne dieser Offenbarung sind Schubladen, Klappen oder Möbeltüren.Examples of movable furniture parts in the sense of this disclosure are drawers, flaps or furniture doors.
Ist das bewegbare Möbelteil als Schublade ausgebildet, eignet sich besonders die Rückwand der Schublade für die Kraftbeaufschlagung durch den Hebel. In diesem Fall kann daher besonders bevorzugt vorgesehen sein, dass der Hebel in der geschlossenen Endlage der Schublade an der Rückwand der Schublade anliegt.If the movable furniture part is designed as a drawer, the rear wall of the drawer is particularly suitable for the application of force by the lever. In this case, it can therefore be particularly preferred that the lever rests against the rear wall of the drawer in the closed end position of the drawer.
Bei der Ausführung des bewegbaren Möbelteils als Klappe oder Möbeltüre kann entsprechend vorgesehen sein, dass der Hebel in der geschlossenen Endlage am Blatt der Klappe bzw. der Möbeltüre anliegt.In the embodiment of the movable furniture part as a flap or furniture door can be provided accordingly that the lever rests in the closed end position on the leaf of the flap or the furniture door.

Ganz allgemein kann gesagt werden, dass die vorteilhaften Effekte der Erfindung, wie in Anspruch 1 definierte bereits dann auftreten, wenn zumindest ein vom freien-Hebelende und der Drehachse beabstandeter gekrümmter Bereich 9 vorgesehen ist. Natürlich können zusätzlich, wie in allen Ausführungsbeispielen gezeigt, auch weitere gekrümmte Bereiche 14 vorgesehen sein, die sich durchaus auch bis zum freien Hebelende 4 und/oder zur Drehachse erstrecken können. Dies ist allerdings nicht unbedingt erforderlich.In general, it can be said that the advantageous effects of the invention as defined in

Gezeigt sind jeweils die Drehachse 15 und der Kraftarm r für zwei Stellungen des Hebels 2. In
Die Winkelveränderung µ' bzw. µ wird also durch die Wegveränderung X bewirkt. Ist die Ausstoßvorrichtung 1 nunmehr derart ausgebildet, dass die Winkelveränderung µ' bzw. µ von der Ausstoßvorrichtung (beispielsweise durch ein an der Drehachse 15 angeordnetes Drehpotentiometer) detektiert werden kann, so kann das Eindrücken des bewegbaren Möbelteils 8 zum Auslösen des Ausstoßvorganges (Touch-Latch-Funktionalität) verwendet werden. Erkennbar ist, dass bei einem relativ großen Kraftarm r nach dem Stand der Technik nur eine geringe Winkelveränderung µ' bewirkt wird (
