Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Stellmechanismus für einen schwenkbar gelagerten Stellarm, insbesondere zum Antrieb einer Klappe eines Möbels, wobei der Stellarm durch eine Federvorrichtung beaufschlagt ist, welche sich im montierten Zustand des Stellmechanismus an einem möbelfesten Bauteil abstützt und den Stellarm um eine Drehachse in Öffnurigsrichtung der Klappe beaufschlagt., wobei ein federbelasteter Zwischenhebel über eine Druckrolle und eine Steuerkurve den Stellarm verschwenkt und wobei ein elektrischer Antrieb über einen Übersetzungsmechanismus auf den Stellarm wirkt.The present invention relates to an actuating mechanism for a pivotally mounted actuating arm, in particular for driving a flap of a piece of furniture, wherein the actuating arm is acted upon by a spring device, which is supported in the mounted state of the adjusting mechanism on a möbelfesten component and the actuating arm about an axis of rotation in Öffnurigsrichtung the flap acted upon, wherein a spring-loaded intermediate lever pivoted about a pressure roller and a control cam, the actuating arm and wherein an electric drive via a translation mechanism acts on the actuating arm.
Im Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung ein Möbel mit einem Stellmechanismus der zu beschreibenden Art.Furthermore, the invention relates to a piece of furniture with an actuating mechanism of the kind to be described.
Derartige Stellmechanismen werden zum Antrieb von Möbelklappen verwendet, um diese von der Schließstellung In die vollständige Offenstellung bzw. in die umgekehrte Richtung zu bewegen. Der Stellarm ist durch eine Federvorrichtung beaufschlagbar, die zum Gewichtsausgleich der Klappe dient. Darüber hinaus ist es bekannt, zusätzlich zur beaufschlagenden Federvorrichtung einen elektrischen Antrieb bereitzustellen, der zur Unterstützung der Klappenbewegung dient (z.B.
In der prioritätsälteren, jedoch nachveröffentlichten
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Stellmechanismus der eingangs erwähnten Gattung mit einer verbesserten Kinematik anzugeben, der darüber hinaus mit einer geringen Motorleistung auskommt.The object of the invention is therefore to provide an actuating mechanism of the type mentioned with improved kinematics, which also manages with a low engine power.
Dies wird erfindungsgemäß in einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung dadurch erreicht, dass durch den Übersetzungsmechanismus das Übersetzungsverhältnis zwischen Motordrehwinkel und Stellarmdrehwinkel über den Stellarmdrehwinkelbereich variiert, wobei der Übersetzungsmechanismus wenigstens eine Kniehebelanordnung aufweist.This is inventively achieved in an advantageous embodiment that varies by the transmission mechanism, the ratio between motor rotation angle and Stellarmdrehwinkel on the Stellarmdrehwinkelbereich, wherein the translation mechanism has at least one toggle lever assembly.
Auf diese Weise kann eine Stellbewegung mit einer vorteilhaften kinematischen Charakteristik ermöglicht werden, die - ausgehend von der vollständigen Schließstellung der Klappe - eine deutliche Verringerung des erforderlichen Drehmomentes ermöglicht, wobei die von der vollständigen Schließstellung der Klappe ausgehende Anfangsbewegung relativ langsam erfolgen kann. Durch die Verringerung des erforderlichen Drehmomentes können leistungsschwächere und kleinere Motoren mit geringer Geräuschentwicklung eingesetzt werden, wodurch aufgrund des geringen Platzbedarfs mehr konstruktive Freiräume verbleiben. Ein gewünschter Nebeneffekt besteht darin, dass ein Benutzer bei einer entsprechenden Betätigung des elektrischen Antriebs die anfänglich verlangsamte Öffnungsbewegung durchaus als angenehm empfindet, sodass sich der Benutzer auf die stattfindende Öffnungsbewegung der Klappe einstellen kann, ohne dass hierbei die Initialbewegung zu rasch erfolgt. Hierbei kann zusätzlich das Risiko von Verletzungen reduziert werden.In this way, an actuating movement can be made possible with an advantageous kinematic characteristic, which - starting from the complete closed position of the flap - allows a significant reduction of the required torque, the emanating from the full closed position of the flap initial movement can be relatively slow. By reducing the torque required lower power and smaller engines can be used with low noise, which remain more design freedom due to the small footprint. A desired side effect is that a user with a corresponding operation of the electric drive feels the initially slowed opening movement quite pleasant, so that the user can adjust to the current opening movement of the flap, without in this case the initial movement is too fast. In addition, the risk of injury can be reduced.
Gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Übersetzungsmechanismus derart ausgebildet ist, dass die Schwenkbewegung des Stellarmes nahe den beiden Endlagen der Klappe mit erhöhtem Übersetzungsverhältnis erfolgt, wobei zwischen diesen beiden Endlagenbereichen eine Schwenkbewegung der Klappe mit niedrigerem Übersetzungsverhältnis erfolgt, d.h., dass sich die Klappe über einen Großteil des gesamten Drehwinkelbereiches relativ rasch bewegt.According to one embodiment of the invention can be provided that the translation mechanism is designed such that the pivoting movement of the actuating arm takes place near the two end positions of the flap with increased gear ratio, between these two Endlagenbereichen a pivotal movement of the valve with a lower gear ratio, ie, that the flap relatively quickly moved over a large part of the entire rotation angle range.
Günstigerweise kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Federvorrichtung den Stellarm dermaßen beaufschlagt, dass die Klappe im Wesentlichen in jeder Schwenkstellung entgegen der Schwerkraft gehalten ist. Die Federvorrichtung umfasst daher zweckmäßigerweise eine Einstellvorrichtung, durch die das auf den Stellarm wirkende Drehmoment veränderbar ist.Conveniently, it can be provided that the spring device acts on the actuating arm to such an extent that the flap is essentially held against gravity in each pivoting position. The spring device therefore comprises expediently an adjusting device, by which the torque acting on the actuating arm is variable.
Um die Zuhaltekraft der Klappe in der Schließstellung zu ermöglichen, wird die Klappe nahe der Schließstellung ab einem Öffnungswinkei unter 20°, vorzugsweise unter 10°, von der Federvorrichtung in die Schließstellung gedrückt. Die Klappe ist vorzugsweise um eine horizontale Achse schwenkbar und nimmt in der Schließstellung eine vertikale Position ein. Selbstverständlich sind im Zusammenhang mit dem Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung aber auch Klappen bzw. Türen bewegbar, die um eine vertikale Achse verschwenkbar sind.In order to enable the locking force of the flap in the closed position, the flap is pressed near the closed position from a Öffnungswinkei below 20 °, preferably below 10 °, of the spring device in the closed position. The flap is preferably pivotable about a horizontal axis and occupies a vertical position in the closed position. Of course, in connection with the aspect of the present invention, but also flaps or doors are movable, which are pivotable about a vertical axis.
Die Kniehebelanordnung umfasst wenigstens zwei gelenkig verbundene Hebel, vorzugsweise unterschiedlicher Länge, wobei der elektrische Antrieb am freien Ende des kürzeren Hebels an einem ortsfesten Drehpunkt angreifen kann.The toggle lever arrangement comprises at least two articulated levers, preferably of different lengths, wherein the electric drive can engage at the free end of the shorter lever at a fixed pivot point.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der elektrische Antrieb nicht am Hauptdrehpunkt des Stellarmes angreift, sondern dazu exzentrisch angeordnet ist. Durch die versetzte Anordnung des Hauptdrehpunktes des Stellarms zur motorisch anzutreibenden Achse des Übersetzungsmechanismus ergibt sich eine verbesserte Hebelgeometrie, die eine deutliche Reduzierung des Klappenöffnungsmomentes herbeiführt.According to a further embodiment of the invention can be provided that the electric drive does not attack the main pivot point of the actuating arm, but is arranged eccentrically. Due to the staggered arrangement of the main pivot point of the actuating arm to be driven by the motor axis of the transmission mechanism results in an improved lever geometry, which causes a significant reduction of the valve opening torque.
