Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Möbel mit einer Außenkonstruktion, einem über einen Korpusmotor motorisch in Bezug auf die Außenkonstruktion auf- und abfahrbaren Innenkorpus und einer über einen Klappenmotor motorisch bewegbaren Klappe zum Abdecken der Vorderseite des hochgefahrenen Innenkorpus, wobei die Klappe an der Außenkonstruktion angelenkt ist.The invention relates to a piece of furniture with an outer construction, a motor body with respect to the outer construction on a body engine up and retractable inner body and a motor via a flap movable flap for covering the front of the raised inner body, wherein the flap is hinged to the outer structure.

Es sei angemerkt, dass sich die Begriffe "Korpusmotor" und "Klappenmotor" dabei nicht nur auf einen reinen Motor, sondern auch auf die zur technischen Realisierung einer motorischen Bewegung üblicherweise von einem Fachmann verwendeten Peripherievorrichtungen, wie zum Beispiel eine geeignete Getriebevorrichtung, also auf eine gesamte motorische Antriebseinheit beziehen.It should be noted that the terms "body engine" and "flapper engine" thereby not only on a pure engine, but also on the technical realization of a motor movement usually used by a person skilled in peripheral devices, such as a suitable transmission device, ie on a refer to entire motor drive unit.

Vorab sei weiterhin auch noch darauf hingewiesen, dass die Erfindung nicht auf ein Möbel mit einem bestimmten Typ eines Innenkorpus oder einer Klappe beschränkt ist. Bei der Klappe kann es sich beispielsweise um eine hochbewegbare Klappe handeln, bei denen man wiederum im Wesentlichen zwischen einteilig ausgebildeten Hochklappen, sogenannten Hochfaltklappen aus zumindest zwei Teilklappen, einteilig ausgebildeten Hochschwenkklappen oder sogenannten Hochliftklappen unterscheidet (vergleiche hierzu z.B. die AT 009 076 U1 ).It should also be noted in advance that the invention is not limited to a piece of furniture with a certain type of interior body or flap. The flap may be, for example, a highly movable flap in which one again in turn substantially between integrally formed up flaps, so-called Hochfaltklappen of at least two partial flaps, integrally formed Hochschwenkklappen or so-called high lift doors differs (see, for example, the AT 009 076 U1 ).

Die eingangs genannten Möbel sind zum Beispiel aus der AT 507 804 A1 der Anmelderin bekannt, wobei die in dieser Schrift offenbarte Erfindung insbesondere darauf ausgerichtet ist, den Grundaufbau derartiger Möbel hinsichtlich ihrer Montage an einer Wand zu optimieren.The furniture mentioned above are for example from the AT 507 804 A1 The applicant is aware of the fact that the invention disclosed in this document is particularly aimed at optimizing the basic structure of such furniture with regard to its mounting on a wall.

Ähnliche Konstruktionen werden in der JP 2009297271 A und der WO 2007131251 A2 beschrieben.Similar constructions are used in the JP 2009297271 A and the WO 2007131251 A2 described.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es nun, die Sicherheit und gleichzeitig den Bedienkomfort für den Benutzer zu verbessern. Beispielsweise konnte bisher nicht gänzlich die Gefahr des Einklemmens von Fingern zwischen der Klappe und dem Innenkorpus des Möbels durch eine Relativbewegung dieser beiden Komponenten zueinander ausgeschlossen werden.Object of the present invention is now to improve the safety and at the same time the ease of use for the user. For example, could not be completely excluded the risk of pinching fingers between the flap and the inner body of the furniture by a relative movement of these two components to one another.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Eine Grundidee der Erfindung besteht also darin, den Klappenmotor und den Korpusmotor koordiniert anzusteuern.A basic idea of the invention is thus to control the flap motor and the body engine in a coordinated manner.

Diese koordinierte Ansteuerung kann dadurch begünstigt werden, dass eine mit der Steuerungseinrichtung in Verbindung stehende Einrichtung zum Erfassen der Höhenlage des Innenkorpus vorgesehen ist. Dann kann nämlich die Steuerungseinrichtung den Klappenmotor und den Korpusmotor in Abhängigkeit von der erfassten Höhenlage des Innenkorpus koordiniert ansteuern. Die Höhenlage gibt an, in welcher Höhenposition sich der Innenkorpus relativ zum Möbel befindet. Als Einrichtung zum Erfassen dieser Höhenlage kommen unterschiedliche Sensoren in Frage, die üblicherweise zu diesem Zweck von einem Fachmann verwendet werden. Alternativ dazu kann auch der Korpusmotor selber als eine derartige Einrichtung fungieren und zwar dann, wenn es sich hierbei zum Beispiel um einen Schrittmotor handelt, dessen Umdrehungsanzahl erfasst und in Beziehung zu dem vom Innenkorpus zurückgelegten Weg gesetzt wird.This coordinated activation can be promoted by the fact that a device connected to the control device is provided for detecting the altitude of the inner carcass. In that case, the control device can then control the flap motor and the carcass motor in a coordinated manner as a function of the detected altitude of the inner carcass. The altitude indicates in which height position the interior carcass is relative to the furniture. As means for detecting this altitude different sensors come into question, which are usually used for this purpose by a person skilled in the art. Alternatively, the carcass engine itself may function as such a device, for example, if it is a stepper motor, whose number of revolutions is detected and related to the distance covered by the inner carcass.

Um die in der Einleitung erwähnte Gefahr des Einklemmens von Fingern zwischen der Klappe und dem Innenkorpus des Möbels durch eine Relativbewegung dieser beiden Komponenten zueinander auszuschließen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn zum Schließen des Möbels - ausgehend von einer Stellung mit geöffneter Klappe und herabgefahrenem Innenkorpus - zuerst der Innenkorpus zumindest teilweise hochfährt, bevor die Klappe schließt. Alternativ dazu können auch beide Bewegungsabläufe - also das Hochfahren des Innenkorpus und das Schließen der Klappe - gleichzeitig beginnen. Die Geschwindigkeit der Schließbewegung der Klappe wird in diesem Fall jedoch soweit reduziert, dass die Hochfahrbewegung des Innenkorpus beendet ist, bevor die Klappe endgültig schließt.To preclude the mentioned in the introduction risk of pinching fingers between the flap and the inner body of the furniture by a relative movement of these two components to each other, it is advantageous if the closing of the furniture - starting from a position with the flap open and lowered Innenkorpus - first the inner body at least partially starts up before the flap closes. Alternatively, both movements - ie the raising of the inner body and the closing of the flap - start at the same time. The speed of the closing movement of the flap is reduced in this case, however, so far that the start-up movement of the inner body is completed before the flap finally closes.

Hinsichtlich des angesprochenen Bedienkomforts für den Benutzer hat es sich als günstig erwiesen, wenn das Schließen des Möbels in der vorgeschriebenen Weise durch eine einmalige Betätigung nur eines Betätigungsschalters auslösbar ist.With regard to the mentioned ease of use for the user, it has proved to be advantageous if the closing of the furniture in the prescribed manner by a single operation of only one operating switch can be triggered.

Das koordinierte Ansteuern des Klappenmotors und des Korpusmotors kann - neben der Möglichkeit einer Einrichtung zum Erfassen der Höhenlage des Innenkorpus vorzusehen - weiterhin auch noch dadurch begünstigt werden, dass eine mit der Steuerungseinrichtung in Verbindung stehende Einrichtung zum Erfassen der Stellung der Klappe vorgesehen ist. Im Bezug auf die möglichen technischen Realisierungsformen einer solchen Einrichtung bieten sich auch hier unterschiedliche Sensoren und die Möglichkeit an, die momentane Klappenstellung indirekt über die Erfassung der Umdrehungsanzahl des Klappenmotors zu bestimmen.The coordinated control of the damper motor and the body engine can - in addition to the possibility of providing means for detecting the altitude of the inner body - continue to be favored by the fact that a device in communication with the control device is provided for detecting the position of the flap. With regard to the possible technical realization forms of such a device, different sensors and the possibility of indirectly determining the instantaneous flap position via the detection of the number of revolutions of the flap motor are also available here.

Zur weiteren Erhöhung der Sicherheit ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Herabfahren des Innenkorpus bei geschlossener Klappe unterbunden ist. Dies kann zum Beispiel über die elektronische Steuerungseinrichtung und/oder dadurch realisiert werden, dass ein Betätigungsschalter, mit dessen Hilfe das Herabfahren des Innenkorpus auslösbar ist, bei geschlossener Klappe von der Klappe verdeckt und damit nicht von außen zugänglich ist.To further increase the safety, it is advantageous if the lowering of the inner body is prevented when the flap is closed. This can be realized, for example, via the electronic control device and / or in that an actuating switch, with the aid of which the lowering of the inner body can be triggered, is covered by the flap when the flap is closed and thus not accessible from the outside.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Öffnen der Klappe, das Herab- und Hinauffahren des Innenkorpus und/oder das Schließen des Möbels (in der vorbeschriebenen Weise) durch Betätigung eines Betätigungsschalters auslösbar ist. Es handelt sich in diesem Fall also um einen "EinSchalter-Bedienmodus". Dabei kann die spezifische Auslösung der genannten Vorgänge durch unterschiedlich lang andauernde Betätigungen und/oder unterschiedliche Abfolgen an Betätigungspulsen des Betätigungsschalters erfolgen. Es ist zum Beispiel denkbar, dass - ausgehend von einer geschlossenen Klappe und einem hochgefahrenen Innenkorpus - die erste Betätigung des Betätigungsschalters (unabhängig davon, wie lang sie dauert) immer die Klappe öffnet. Ab einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt, also ab einer bestimmten Stellung der Klappe, ist der Betätigungsschalter wieder für eine erneute Betätigung freigegeben. Die Art dieser erneuten Betätigung entscheidet nun darüber, ob die Klappe wieder schließt oder den Innenkorpus herabfährt. Zum Beispiel kann eine kurze Betätigung das Schließen der Klappe und eine lange Betätigung das Herabfahren des Innenkorpus bewirken, oder umgekehrt. Alternativ dazu kann die Unterscheidung auch über eine unterschiedliche Anzahl an Betätigungspulsen in einem vorgegebenen Zeitfenster erfolgen. Im herabgefahrenen Zustand des Innenkorpus bietet es sich an, den Benutzer erneut (durch eine unterschiedliche Betätigung des Betätigungsschalters) darüber entscheiden zu lassen, ob er nun den Innenkorpus nur hinauffahren möchte, oder ob zudem auch noch (in der oben beschriebenen Weise) die Klappe schließen soll.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the opening of the flap, the down and drive up of the inner body and / or the closing of the furniture (in the manner described above) can be triggered by actuation of an actuating switch. In this case, this is a "single-switch operating mode". In this case, the specific triggering of said operations by differently long-lasting operations and / or different sequences of actuation pulses of the operating switch can be done. It is conceivable, for example, that - starting from a closed flap and a raised inner carcass - the first actuation of the actuating switch (regardless of how long it takes) always opens the flap. From a certain time, so from a certain position of the flap, the operating switch is released again for a re-actuation. The nature of this re-operation now decides whether the flap closes again or moves down the inner carcass. For example, a brief actuation may cause the flap to close and a long actuation the interior body to descend, or vice versa. Alternatively, the distinction can also be made over a different number of actuation pulses in a predetermined time window. In the lowered state of the inner body, it is advisable to the user again (by a different operation of the operation switch) on it decide whether he wants to go up the inner carcass, or whether in addition (in the manner described above) the flap should close.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass wenigstens zwei Betätigungsschalter vorgesehen sind, und dass

  • ▪ durch Betätigung eines der wenigstens zwei Betätigungsschalter das Öffnen und Schließen der Klappe auslösbar ist und
  • ▪ durch Betätigung des anderen der wenigstens zwei Betätigungsschalter das Herab- und Hinauffahren des Innenkorpus auslösbar ist.
A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that at least two actuation switches are provided, and that
  • ▪ by actuating one of the at least two actuation switch, the opening and closing of the flap can be triggered and
  • ▪ by pressing the other of the at least two actuation switches, the down and down movement of the inner body can be triggered.

Darüber hinaus kann es vorgesehen sein, dass durch Betätigung des Betätigungsschalters, durch dessen Betätigung das Öffnen und Schließen der Klappe auslösbar ist, auch das Schließen des Möbels (in der oben beschriebenen Weise) auslösbar ist.In addition, it may be provided that the actuation of the operation switch, by the operation of the opening and closing of the flap is triggered, and the closing of the furniture (in the manner described above) can be triggered.

Insbesondere bei Möbeln mit einem großen Innenkorpus bietet es sich an, jeweils zwei derartige Betätigungsschalter an der - in Gebrauchslage - linken und rechten Seite des Möbels vorzusehen, wobei die beiden Betätigungsschalter auf den beiden Seiten zum Beispiel übereinander angeordnet sind und die beiden oberen Schalter durch eine bestimmte - und zwar die gleiche - und die beiden unteren Schalter durch eine andere - aber untereinander ebenfalls die gleiche - Funktionalität gekennzeichnet sind. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Benutzer zur Bedienung des Möbels diejenige Zweiergruppe von Betätigungsschaltern auswählen kann, die sich näher zu seinem Aufenthaltsort befindet.In particular, in furniture with a large interior body, it is advisable to provide two such actuation switch on the - in use position - left and right side of the cabinet, the two operating switches are arranged on the two sides, for example, one above the other and the two upper switch by a certain - and the same - and the two lower switches by another - but also the same - functionality are marked. This has the advantage that the user to operate the furniture can select that group of two operating switches, which is closer to his whereabouts.

Eine sehr elegante Bauweise ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass wenigstens ein Betätigungsschalter, und zwar vorzugsweise derjenige, der bei geschlossener Klappe und hochgefahrenem Innenkorpus das Öffnen der Klappe auslöst, bei geschlossener Klappe zumindest bereichsweise an der Innenfläche der Klappe anliegt, und durch äußeren Druck auf die Klappe betätigbar ist.A very elegant design is characterized in that at least one actuation switch, and preferably the one that triggers the opening of the flap with the flap closed and raised inner body, at least partially abuts the inner surface of the flap with the flap closed, and by external pressure on the flap is operable.

Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wennFurthermore, it is advantageous if

  • ▪ es sich bei dem wenigstens einen Betätigungsschalter bzw. bei wenigstens einem der vorgesehenen Betätigungsschalter um einen Tastschalter handelt und/oderIt is the at least one operating switch or at least one of the provided operating switch is a push-button and / or
  • ▪ es sich bei dem Korpusmotor und/oder dem Klappenmotor um einen Elektromotor handelt und/oder▪ the carcass engine and / or the damper motor is an electric motor and / or

In den Fig. 1a bis 4b sind verschiedene Zustände des bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels des Möbels 1 während des Öffnungs- bzw. Schließvorgangs dargestellt. Dabei zeigen die Fig. 1a und 1b den vollständig geschlossenen Zustand, d.h. den Zustand, bei dem der Innenkorpus vollständig hochgefahren ist und von der vollständig geschlossenen Klappe 5 verdeckt ist. Bei der Fig. 1 a handelt es sich um eine perspektivische Ansicht, bei der Fig. 1b um eine Seitenansicht des Möbels 1 in diesem Zustand. Zu sehen sind: eine äußere Rahmenkonstruktion 15, die Klappe 5, bei der es sich in diesem Fall um eine zweiteilig ausgebildete Hochfaltklappe handelt, einen Teil des Korpusmotors 2, sowie eine Stromversorgungseinrichtung 7, welche die beiden Motoren und die elektronische Steuerungseinrichtung sowie alle weiteren elektronischen Komponenten des Möbels 1 mit elektrischer Energie versorgt.In the Fig. 1a to 4b different states of the preferred embodiment of the furniture 1 are shown during the opening and closing operation. The show Fig. 1a and 1b the fully closed state, ie the state in which the inner body is fully raised and is covered by the fully closed flap 5. In the Fig. 1 a is a perspective view in which Fig. 1b to a side view of the furniture 1 in this state. To see are: an outer frame construction 15, the flap 5, which is in this case a two-part folding flap, a part of the body engine 2, and a power supply device 7, which the two motors and the electronic control device and all other electronic Components of the furniture 1 supplied with electrical energy.

In dem Vergrößerungsausschnitt der Seitenansicht (siehe Fig. 1 b) sind zwei Betätigungsschalter S1 und S2 erkennbar, die zur Bedienung der elektronischen Steuerungseinrichtung vorgesehen sind. Das besondere bei der Anordnung dieser beiden Betätigungsschalter S1 und S2 ist, dass sie bei geschlossener Klappe 5 von der Klappe 5 verdeckt sind. Darüber hinaus liegt der Schalter S1 an der Innenfläche der Klappe 5 an und ist durch äußeren Druck D1 auf die Klappe 5 betätigbar. Der Schalter S2 ist dagegen innerhalb der äußeren Rahmenkonstruktion 15 angeordnet und in der Fig. 1b daher nur gestrichelt angedeutet. Möchte man nun die Klappe 5 des Möbels 1 öffnen, so reicht eine kurze Druckbewegung D1 von außen auf die Klappe 5 aus, um den Schalter S1 zu betätigen und dadurch den Öffnungsmechanismus der Klappe 5 in Gang zu setzen.In the enlargement section of the side view (see Fig. 1 b) two operating switches S1 and S2 can be seen, which are provided for operating the electronic control device. The special thing about the arrangement of these two actuation switches S1 and S2 is that they are covered by the flap 5 when the flap 5 is closed. In addition, the switch S1 abuts on the inner surface of the flap 5 and is actuated by external pressure D1 on the flap 5. The switch S2, however, is disposed within the outer frame structure 15 and in the Fig. 1b therefore only indicated by dashed lines. If one now wants to open the flap 5 of the furniture 1, then a short pressure movement D1 from the outside on the flap 5 is sufficient to actuate the switch S1 and thereby set the opening mechanism of the flap 5 in motion.

In den beiden Fig. 2a und 2b ist der Zustand des Möbels 1 mit vollständig geöffneter Klappe 5 zu sehen, und zwar ebenfalls wieder in einer perspektivischen Ansicht und einer Seitenansicht. Da die Klappe 5 nun geöffnet ist, kann der Betrachter in das Innere des Möbels 1 hineinschauen und sieht dabei einen Teil des Klappenmotors 4, den Innenkorpus 3, der zwei Fachböden 14 aufweist, und nun auch in der perspektivischen Ansicht die beiden Betätigungsschalter S1 und S2, wobei diese beiden Betätigungsschalter S1 und S2 sowohl an der linken als auch an der rechten Seite des Möbels 1 angeordnet sind. Das hat den Vorteil, dass der Benutzer zur Bedienung des Möbels 1 diejenige Zweiergruppe von Betätigungsschaltern S1 und S2 auswählen kann, die sich näher zu seinem Aufenthaltsort befindet. Außerdem ist es durch diese Dublizierung der Betätigungsschalter S1 und S2 - insbesondere bei Möbeln 1 mit einem großen Innenkorpus 3 - egal, an welcher Stelle der Klappe 5 der initiale Öffnungsdruckbefehl D1 ausgeübt wird, da in jedem Fall einer der beiden beidseitig angeordneten Schalter S1 auf diesen Druck D1 anspricht.In both Fig. 2a and 2b is the state of the furniture 1 to see with fully open flap 5, again in a perspective view and a side view. Since the flap 5 is now open, the viewer can look into the interior of the cabinet 1 and sees a part of the damper motor 4, the inner cabinet 3, which has two shelves 14, and now in the perspective view, the two operating switches S1 and S2 , wherein these two operating switches S1 and S2 are arranged both on the left and on the right side of the cabinet 1. This has the advantage that the user to operate the furniture 1 can select that group of two operating switches S1 and S2, which is closer to his whereabouts. Besides, it is by this duplication of the operating switch S1 and S2 - especially in furniture 1 with a large inner body 3 - no matter where the flap 5, the initial opening pressure command D1 is exercised, since in each case one of the two switches S1 arranged on both sides responds to this pressure D1 ,

Der Benutzer hat - ausgehend von diesem Zustand des Möbels 1 - die Möglichkeit, entweder die Klappe 5 durch eine erneute - aber diesmal direkte - Betätigung D2 des Betätigungsschalters S1 wieder zu verschließen, oder aber den Innenkorpus 3 herunterfahren zu lassen, um so leichter Gegenstände in denselben hineinzutun oder herauszuholen. Möchte er letztere Bewegung auslösen, so kann er dies durch eine Betätigung D3 eines der beiden Schalter S2 bewirken.The user has - starting from this state of the furniture 1 - the ability to either the flap 5 by a renewed - but this time direct - D2 operation of the switch S1 to close again, or to let the inner body 3 to shut down, the lighter objects in to put it in or take it out. If he wants to trigger the latter movement, he can do so by an operation D3 one of the two switches S2.

In den Fig. 3a und 3b ist der Zustand des Möbels 1 dargestellt, in dem die Klappe 5 vollständig geöffnet ist und der Innenkorpus 3 vollständig herabgefahren ist. Die Höhenlage des Innenkorpus 3, welche die Höhenposition des Innenkorpus 3 relativ zum restlichen Teil des Möbels 1 angibt, ist in der Fig. 3b mit dem Bezugszeichen H versehen.In the Fig. 3a and 3b the state of the furniture 1 is shown, in which the flap 5 is fully open and the inner body 3 is completely lowered. The altitude of the inner body 3, which indicates the height position of the inner body 3 relative to the remaining part of the furniture 1, is in the Fig. 3b provided with the reference H provided.

In diesem Zustand des Möbels hat der Benutzer wiederum die Auswahl zwischen zwei Bedienoptionen: Zum einen kann er durch erneute Betätigung D4 des Schalters S2 den Innenkorpus 3 dazu veranlassen, wieder hochzufahren, ohne dass die Klappe 5 schließt, und zum anderen hat er die Möglichkeit, durch Drücken D5 des Schalters S1 sowohl den Innenkorpus 3 hochfahren also auch die Klappe 5 schließen zu lassen, wobei diese kombinierte Schließbewegung des Möbels 1 derart koordiniert ist, dass zuerst der Innenkorpus 3 zumindest teilweise hochfährt und dann erst die Klappe 5 schließt. Der Ausdruck "zumindest teilweise" bedeutet, dass im Zuge dieser Schließbewegung zuerst der Innenkorpus 3 vollständig herauffährt und dann erst die Schließbewegung der Klappe 5 einsetzt (diese Situation ist in der Fig. 4a dargestellt) oder aber dass der Innenkorpus 3 teilweise hochfährt und dann die Schließbewegung der Klappe 5 ausgelöst wird (siehe hierzu Fig. 4b). Bei beiden Szenarien ist ein Einklemmen von Fingern des Benutzers durch die Relativbewegung des Innenkorpus 3 und der Klappe 5 ausgeschlossen, da sichergestellt ist, dass während der Bewegung des Innenkorpus 3, der Abstand der Klappe 5 zum Innenkorpus 3 einen bestimmten Sicherheitsabstand nicht unterschreitet. Die Klappe 5 nähert sich dem Innenkorpus 3 erst dann vollständig an, wenn dieser bereits zum Stillstand gekommen ist.In this state of the furniture, the user again has the choice between two operating options: firstly, by re-actuating D4 of the switch S2, he can cause the inner body 3 to start up again without the flap 5 closing, and secondly, he has the option of by pressing D5 of the switch S1 both the inner carcass 3 so also let the flap 5 to close, this combined closing movement of the furniture 1 is coordinated such that first the inner body 3 at least partially starts up and then only the flap 5 closes. The term "at least partially" means that in the course of this closing movement first the inner body 3 moves up completely and then only the closing movement of the flap 5 begins (this situation is in the Fig. 4a shown) or that the inner body 3 partially starts up and then the closing movement of the flap 5 is triggered (see Fig. 4b ). In both scenarios, trapping fingers of the user is excluded by the relative movement of the inner body 3 and the flap 5, since it is ensured that during the movement of the inner body 3, the distance of the flap 5 to the inner body 3 does not fall below a certain safety distance. The flap 5 only approaches the inner body 3 completely when it has already come to a standstill.

Die Fig. 5 dient der Illustration des koordinierten Ansteuerns des Klappenmotors 4 und des Korpusmotors 2 bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Möbels. Zentraler Bestandteil zur Realisierung dieses koordinierten Ansteuerns ist die elektronische Steuerungseinrichtung 6, die sowohl mit dem Korpusmotor 2 und dem Klappenmotor 4 als auch mit den beiden Betätigungsschaltern S1 und S2 in Verbindung steht. Im einfachsten Fall handelt es sich bei diesen Verbindungen 9 bis 13 um elektrische Verbindungen. Durch Betätigung der beiden Betätigungsschalter S1 und S2 kann ein Benutzer Bedienbefehle an die elektronische Steuerungseinrichtung 6 geben, welche daraufhin koordiniert die beiden Motoren 2 und 4 ansteuert, wobei diese Koordination eben zum Beispiel darin besteht, dass zum Schließen des Möbels - ausgehend von einer Stellung mit geöffneter Klappe und herabgefahrenen Innenkorpus - zuerst der Innenkorpus zumindest teilweise hochfährt, bevor die Klappe schließt, oder aber, dass das Herabfahren des Innenkorpus bei geschlossener Klappe unterbunden ist.The Fig. 5 serves to illustrate the coordinated driving of the flapper motor 4 and the body motor 2 in the preferred embodiment of the furniture. A central component for the realization of this coordinated control is the electronic control device 6, which communicates both with the body engine 2 and the damper motor 4 and with the two operating switches S1 and S2. In the simplest case, these compounds 9 to 13 are electrical connections. By operating the two operating switches S1 and S2, a user can give operating commands to the electronic control device 6, which then coordinates the two motors 2 and 4 controls, this coordination just for example is that for closing the furniture - starting from a position with open flap and lowered inner carcass - first the inner carcass at least partially starts up before the flap closes, or that the lowering of the inner carcass is prevented with the flap closed.

Die beiden gestrichelten Linien 8 und 11 deuten an, dass die beiden Motoren 2 und 4 in dieser Ausführungsform jeweils als Einrichtung zum Erfassen der Höhenlage des Innenkorpus bzw. zum Erfassen der Stellung der Klappe fungieren und diese Informationen über die Höhenlage bzw. die Klappenstellung and die Steuerungseinrichtung 6 rückkoppeln. Es können zu diesem Zweck aber auch, wie in der Beschreibungseinleitung weiter oben schon ausgeführt, davon gesonderte Sensorvorrichtungen vorgesehen sein.The two dashed lines 8 and 11 indicate that the two motors 2 and 4 in this embodiment each act as means for detecting the altitude of the inner carcass or for detecting the position of the flap and this information about the altitude or the flap position and the Feedback control device 6 feed back. However, separate sensor devices may also be provided for this purpose, as already explained above in the introduction to the description.

Im rechten Teil der Fig. 5, der durch die strichpunktierte Linie abgetrennt ist, sind die beiden bevorzugten Ausführungsformen der Betätigungsschalter S1 und S2 schematisch dargestellt, wobei es sich bei dem Betätigungsschalter S1 um einen sogenannten "single pole / single throw"-Schalter und bei dem Schalter S2 um einen sogenannten "single pole / double throw"-Schalter handelt.In the right part of the Fig. 5 , which is separated by the dotted line, the two preferred embodiments of the actuation switches S1 and S2 are shown schematically, wherein the actuation switch S1 is a so-called "single pole / single throw" switch and the switch S2 to a so-called " single pole / double throw "switch acts.

Abschließend sei noch darauf hingewiesen, dass in der Fig. 5 nur das grundlegende Prinzip zur koordinierten Ansteuerung des Klappenmotors 4 und des Korpusmotors 2 dargestellt ist und dass auf alle weiteren elektronischen Komponenten, die zur technischen Realisierung natürlich auch noch notwendig (einem Fachmann jedoch geläufig) sind, der Übersichtlichkeit halber weggelassen wurden.Finally, it should be noted that in the Fig. 5 only the basic principle for the coordinated control of the damper motor 4 and the body motor 2 is shown and that on all other electronic components, of course, for technical implementation also necessary (a skilled person, however) are omitted for clarity.
