Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Möbelscharnier mit einer Montageplatte, an der ein Seitenteil angeordnet ist, und einem über einen Traghebel und einen Führungshebel verschwenkbar an dem Seitenteil gelagerten Scharnierteil, wobei zur Dämpfung einer Schließbewegung des Scharnierteils mindestens ein durch den Traghebel bewegbares Dämpfungselement vorgesehen ist, wobei das mindestens eine Dämpfungselement in der Schließstellung benachbart zu dem Traghebel im Bereich der Verlängerung der Drehachse des Traghebels an dem Seitenteil angeordnet ist.The present invention relates to a furniture hinge with a mounting plate on which a side part is arranged, and a pivotally mounted on a support lever and a guide lever on the side part hinge part, wherein at least one movable by the support lever damping element is provided for damping a closing movement of the hinge part the at least one damping element is arranged in the closed position adjacent to the support lever in the region of the extension of the axis of rotation of the support lever on the side part.

Aus der EP 1 359 275 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Dämpfen von Schwenkbewegungen bekannt, bei der ein Montagearm an einem Möbelkorpus festgelegt ist, und ein Scharnierteil verschwenkbar daran gelagert ist. Das Scharnierteil weist auf der zum Montagearm abgewandten Seite ein Dämpfungselement auf, das in eine Aussparung an einem bewegbaren Möbelteil aufgenommen ist. Nachteilig bei diesem Möbelscharnier ist, dass das Bauvolumen vergleichsweise groß ist und die Montage des Dämpfungselementes aufwendig ist und viel Platz beansprucht.From the EP 1 359 275 a device for damping pivotal movements is known in which a mounting arm is fixed to a furniture body, and a hinge part is pivotally mounted thereto. The hinge part has on the side facing away from the mounting arm on a damping element which is received in a recess on a movable furniture part. A disadvantage of this furniture hinge that the volume of construction is relatively large and the installation of the damping element is expensive and takes up much space.

Die EP 1 255 013 , welches Dokument alle Merkmale des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 offenbart, offenbart ein Möbelscharnier, bei dem im Bereich des Scharniertopfes oder des Scharnierarmes ein Schieber vorgesehen ist, der relativ zu einer Gleitfläche bewegbar ist. An den Gleitflächen ist ein hochviskoses, flüssiges Medium eingebracht, um die Bewegung des Möbelscharniers zu dämpfen.The EP 1 255 013 which document discloses all features of the preamble of claim 1 discloses a furniture hinge in which in the region of the hinge cup or the hinge arm, a slider is provided which is movable relative to a sliding surface. On the sliding surfaces, a highly viscous, liquid medium is introduced to dampen the movement of the furniture hinge.

Die WO2007/038815 bildet einen nachveröffentlichten Stand der Technik und zeigt eine Dämpferanordnung an einem Scharnier, bei der ein linearer Dämpfer parallel zu einer Gelenkachse des Scharniers ausgerichtet ist.The WO2007 / 038815 forms a post-published prior art and shows a damper assembly on a hinge, in which a linear damper is aligned parallel to a hinge axis of the hinge.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Möbelscharnier zu schaffen, das leicht zu montieren ist und einen kompakten Aufbau besitzt.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a furniture hinge that is easy to assemble and has a compact design.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Möbelscharnier mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a furniture hinge with the features of claim 1.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist das mindestens eine Dämpfungselement mit einem Gleitkörper versehen, der durch Bewegung desAccording to the invention, the at least one damping element is provided with a sliding body, which by movement of the

Traghebels in Richtung der Drehachsen des Traghebels bewegbar ist. Der Traghebel kann dadurch den Gleitkörper kurz vor der Schließstellung bewegen, um so eine Schließbewegung zu dämpfen. Die Dämpfungswirkung wird dabei erst kurz vor einem Schließzustand erreicht, so dass eine Bewegung des Scharnierteils über einen großen Teil des Öffnungsbereiches ungehindert erfolgen kann. Erst kurz vor der Schließstellung wird eine Dämpfung vorgenommen, um ein Zuschlagen, beispielsweise einer Möbeltür, zu vermeiden. Der Gleitkörper kann vorzugsweise an einer Kontaktfläche des Stößels des Dämpferelementes anliegen. Der Stößel kann dabei durch eine Feder gegen den Gleitkörper vorgespannt sein, so dass bei einem Öffnen des Scharnierteils der Gleitkörper durch die Feder wieder in die ausgefahrene Position bewegt wird.Support lever is movable in the direction of the axes of rotation of the support lever. The support lever can thereby move the slider just before the closed position, so as to dampen a closing movement. The damping effect is achieved only shortly before a closed state, so that a movement of the hinge part over a large part of the opening area can be carried out unhindered. Only shortly before the closed position, a damping is made to avoid slamming, such as a furniture door. The slider may preferably abut against a contact surface of the plunger of the damper element. The plunger can be biased by a spring against the slider, so that when the hinge part of the slider is moved by the spring back into the extended position.

Der Stößel wird im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu dem Gleitkörper bewegt, so dass ein besonders kompakter Aufbau erreicht wird. Denn der Gleitkörper wird dann in eine Richtung der Drehachsen bewegt, während der Stößel zur Dämpfung der Bewegung senkrecht hierzu bewegt wird. Vorzugsweise ist die Kontaktfläche schräg zu der Richtung der Drehachsen der Traghebel angeordnet.The plunger is moved substantially perpendicular to the slider, so that a particularly compact construction is achieved. Because the slider is then moved in a direction of the axes of rotation, while the plunger is moved perpendicularly thereto for damping the movement. Preferably, the contact surface is arranged obliquely to the direction of the axes of rotation of the support lever.

Für eine besonders kompakte Bauweise mit guten Dämpfungseigenschaften des Möbelscharniers sind vorzugsweise an gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Traghebels Dämpfungselemente vorgesehen, so dass eine symmetrische Krafteinleitung durch den Traghebel erfolgt. Dies verhindert Querbelastungen, die die Drehachsen beanspruchen könnten.For a particularly compact design with good damping properties of the furniture hinge damping elements are preferably provided on opposite sides of the support lever, so that a symmetrical force is introduced by the support lever. This prevents cross-loads that could claim the axes of rotation.

Das Dämpfungselement kann einen Lineardämpfer, vorzugsweise einen Fluiddämpfer umfassen, um eine ausreichende Dämpfungswirkung bereitzustellen. Um ein Dämpfungselement mit nur wenigen Bauteilen herzustellen, kann der bewegbare Stößel einen Kanal zur Durchleitung von Luft aufweisen. Der Stößel kann dabei in eine an dem Scharnierteil ausgebildete Aufnahme eingefügt werden, so dass der Stößel zusammen mit der Aufnahme einen Fluiddämpfer bildet.The damping element may comprise a linear damper, preferably a fluid damper, to provide a sufficient damping effect. In order to produce a damping element with only a few components, the movable plunger may have a channel for the passage of air. The plunger can be inserted into a receptacle formed on the hinge part, so that the plunger forms a fluid damper together with the receptacle.

Damit nur geringe Reibungsverluste und Geräusche beim Schließen des Scharnierteils entstehen, ist der Gleitkörper vorzugsweise als Kugel ausgebildet, beispielsweise eine Kugel mit glatter Oberfläche aus Metall oder Kunststoff, die über Führungsmittel geführt ist.So that only small friction losses and noise occur when closing the hinge part, the slider is preferably formed as a ball, for example a ball with a smooth surface made of metal or plastic, which is guided by guide means.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles mit Bezug auf die beigefügten Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Ein Möbelscharnier 1 aus Metall und/oder Kunststoff umfasst eine an einem Möbelkorpus festlegbare Montageplatte 2, an der ein Seitenteil 3 verstellbar gehalten ist. Für eine Höheneinstellung ist eine Justierschraube 20 an dem Seitenteil 3 und der Montageplatte 2 vorgesehen.A furniture hinge 1 made of metal and / or plastic comprises a fixable on a furniture body mounting plate 2, on which a side part 3 is held adjustable. For a height adjustment, an adjusting screw 20 is provided on the side part 3 and the mounting plate 2.

An dem Seitenteil 3 ist ein in eine Aussparung einer Möbeltür einfügbares topfförmiges Scharnierteil 4 über einen Traghebel 5 und einen Führungshebel 6 verschwenkbar gelagert. Der Traghebel 5 ist dabei über eine Achse 7 mit dem Scharnierteil 4 und einer Achse 8 mit dem Seitenteil 3 und der Führungshebel 6 ist über eine Achse 9 mit dem Scharnierteil 4 und über eine Achse 10 mit dem Seitenteil 3 verbunden.On the side part 3 an insertable into a recess of a furniture door cup-shaped hinge part 4 via a support lever 5 and a guide lever 6 is pivotally mounted. The support lever 5 is connected via an axis 7 with the hinge part 4 and an axis 8 with the side part 3 and the guide lever 6 is connected via an axis 9 with the hinge part 4 and an axis 10 with the side part 3.

Zur Dämpfung einer Schließbewegung des Scharnierteils 4 ist ein Dämpfungselement vorgesehen, das einen Gleitkörper 11 in Form einer Kugel umfasst. Es ist benachbart zu dem Traghebel 5 an gegenüberliegenden Seiten jeweils ein Dämpfungselement vorgesehen, welches in einem Bereich verlängert zu der Drehachse des Traghebels an dem Seitenteil angeordnet ist. Jedes Dämpfungselement umfasst neben dem Gleitkörper 11 einen Stößel 12, der an dem Gleitkörper 11 anliegt und gegen diesen durch eine Feder 1 vorgespannt ist. Der Stößel 12 bildet dabei eine schräge Kontaktfläche 13 aus, die etwa in einem Winkel von 45° zu der Drehachse des Traghebels 5 angeordnet ist.For damping a closing movement of the hinge part 4, a damping element is provided which comprises a sliding body 11 in the form of a ball. It is adjacent to the support lever 5 provided on opposite sides in each case a damping element, which is arranged in a region extended to the axis of rotation of the support lever on the side part. Each damping element comprises, in addition to the slider 11, a plunger 12 which bears against the slider 11 and is biased against it by a spring 1. The plunger 12 forms a oblique contact surface 13, which is arranged approximately at an angle of 45 ° to the axis of rotation of the support lever 5.

Für einen kompakten Aufbau des Möbelscharniers 1 ist es natürlich nicht erforderlich, dass ein Bauteil des Dämpfungselementes exakt in Verlängerung der Drehachse 8 des Traghebels 5 positioniert ist, sondern es reicht aus, wenn das Dämpfungselement in der geschlossenen Position des Scharnierteils 4 benachbart zu dem Traghebel 5 in der Nähe der Drehachse 8 vorgesehen ist.For a compact construction of the furniture hinge 1, it is of course not necessary that a component of the damping element is positioned exactly in extension of the axis of rotation 8 of the support lever 5, but it is sufficient if the damping element in the closed position of the hinge part 4 adjacent to the support lever is provided near the axis of rotation 8.

Der Stößel 12 ist in eine Aufnahme 15 einfügbar, die an dem Scharnierteil 4 ausgebildet ist. Der Stößel 12 ist dabei durch eine Feder 1 in die herausgefahrene Position gegen den Gleitkörper 11 vorgespannt. Bei einer Schließbewegung drückt der Traghebel 5 die an gegenüberliegenden Seiten angeordneten Gleitkörper 11 nach außen gegen die jeweilige Kontaktfläche 13 des Stößels 12, der dadurch in eine Richtung senkrecht zu den Drehachsen 7, 8 des Traghebels 5 in die Aufnahme 15 hineingeschoben wird. Bei einer Öffnungsbewegung drückt die Feder 1 den Stößel 12 und den Gleitkörper 11 wieder in eine herausgefahrene Position, wobei zumindest die Gleitkörper 11 bis zu einem Anschlag bewegbar sind, damit sie nicht lose an dem Scharnierteil 4 verloren gehen können. Durch die Anordnung von zwei Dämpfungselementen benachbart zu dem Traghebel 5 im Bereich des topfförmigen Scharnierteils 4 wird eine Dämpfung kurz vor Erreichen der Schließstellung bei sehr kompakter Bauweise erreicht.The plunger 12 can be inserted into a receptacle 15, which is formed on the hinge part 4. The plunger 12 is biased by a spring 1 in the extended position against the slider 11. During a closing movement of the support lever 5 presses the arranged on opposite sides of sliding body 11 outwardly against the respective contact surface 13 of the plunger 12, which is thereby pushed in a direction perpendicular to the axes of rotation 7, 8 of the support lever 5 in the receptacle 15. During an opening movement, the spring 1 pushes the plunger 12 and the slider 11 back into a retracted position, wherein at least the slider 11 are movable to a stop, so they can not be lost loose on the hinge part 4. Due to the arrangement of two damping elements adjacent to the support lever 5 in the region of the cup-shaped hinge part 4 damping is achieved shortly before reaching the closed position in a very compact design.

In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel umfasst das Dämpfungselement einen Gleitkörper 11, den Stößel 12 und die Feder 1. Es ist natürlich möglich, zusätzlich einen Lineardämpfer, beispielsweise einen Fluiddämpfer vorzusehen. Ferner kann die Aufnahme 15 und der Stößel 12 als Fluiddämpfer, insbesondere Luftdämpfer ausgebildet sein, wobei zwischen Aufnahme 15 und dem Stößel 12 Luftkanäle ausgebildet sein können, um bei einer ruckartigen Bewegung des Stößels 12 einen Druck innerhalb der Aufnahme 15 auszubilden, um höhere Dämpfungswirkung zu erreichen, als wenn nur die Feder 1 vorhanden ist.In the illustrated embodiment, the damping element comprises a slider 11, the plunger 12 and the spring 1. It is of course possible to additionally provide a linear damper, for example, a fluid damper. Further, the receptacle 15 and the plunger 12 may be formed as a fluid damper, in particular air damper, between air intake 15 and the plunger 12 may be formed to form a pressure within the receptacle 15 at a jerky movement of the plunger 12 to higher damping effect reach as if only the spring 1 is present.

Der Gleitkörper 11 kann über nicht dargestellt Führungsmittel entlang einer vorgegebenen Bewegungsbahn geführt sein, insbesondere kann die Bewegungsbahn durch Anschläge begrenzt sein.The sliding body 11 may be guided along guide paths not shown along a predetermined trajectory, in particular, the trajectory may be limited by stops.

In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel trifft der Gleitkörper 11 jeweils auf ein Dämpfungselement. Es ist natürlich auch möglich, mit dem Gleitkörper 11 zwei in gegenüberliegende Richtungen wirksame Dämpfungselemente anzutreiben. Dann kann bei sehr kompakter Bauweise eine noch höhere Dämpfungswirkung erreicht werden.In the illustrated embodiment, the slider 11 meets each of a damping element. It is of course also possible to drive with the slider 11 two effective in opposite directions damping elements. Then an even higher damping effect can be achieved with a very compact design.
