Definitions

  • Actuators with a locking device for locking a pivoting position of the actuating arm are used in particular for moving furniture flaps which are mounted so that they can be moved up relative to a furniture body.
  • the weight of the furniture flap can be at least partially compensated for by the spring device, so that the movement of the furniture flap is supported by the spring device and thus the operation is also made easier for a user.
  • Critical situations can arise if the furniture flap is not yet connected to the control arm. In such a case, no counterweight acts on the spring device, so that the flapless actuating arm can swing out in an uncontrolled manner due to the force of the acting spring device and can cause serious injuries to the assembly personnel or damage to objects.
  • Actuators with a locking device for releasably locking a pivoting position of the actuating arm are for example in the WO 2007/041736 A1 and in the WO 2011/011800 A2 shown.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an actuator of the type mentioned with a more convenient unlocking option.
  • the locking element can be unlocked by at least one latching recess both by means of a manually actuated switching element and by a control part mounted on the actuating arm, which can be acted upon by mounting the movable furniture part on the actuating arm.
  • a locking device is provided with a movably mounted locking element, which can be unlocked from a position locking the actuating arm both by manually actuating a switching element and by mounting the movable furniture part on the actuating arm.
  • this results in the advantage that the actuating arm can be released from the locking position either by manual operation or by mounting the furniture flap on the actuating arm, the switching element and the control part each interacting with the same locking element.
  • the switching element and the control part are connected to one another, preferably by the locking element, so that the control part also moves when the switching element moves and the switching element also moves when the control part moves.
  • the switching element can be movably mounted between a first switching position and a second switching position, the locking element being locked with the at least one latching recess in the first switching position and that the locking element of the Locking recess is unlockable.
  • the switching element is designed for manual operation or can have an adapter for receiving a tool, the locking between the locking element and the at least one locking trough being releasable by exerting force on the switching element.
  • the locking element is immediately moved back into the locking position by the force of a spring element, so that the actuating arm is locked in its pivoted position and thus not further in the direction Open position can reject.
  • the actuating arm can be locked in a closed position by the interaction of the locking element with the at least one locking trough.
  • the movable furniture part can be connected to the actuating arm in the closed position.
  • at least one second locking trough can also be provided, the actuating arm being lockable in an open position by the interaction of the locking element with the second locking trough.
  • a third locking trough can be provided, the actuating arm being lockable by the interaction of the locking element with the third locking trough in an intermediate position between the open position and the closed position, which preferably corresponds to the half-open position of the actuating arm.
  • Fig. 1a shows a perspective view of a piece of furniture 1, wherein a movable furniture part 3 by an actuator 4 around a horizontal extending axis of rotation is pivotally mounted relative to a furniture body 2.
  • the movable furniture part 3 can be moved from a vertical closed position into a position that is raised relative to the furniture body 2 (and in the opposite direction).
  • the actuator 4 has a housing 5 to be fastened to the furniture body 2 and at least one adjusting arm 6 which is pivotably mounted relative to the housing 5 for moving the movable furniture part 3.
  • a spring device 7 is provided to apply force to the actuating arm 6, so that the operation of the movable furniture part 3 is made easier for a user.
  • the actuating arm 6 can be releasably locked by a latching device 23 with a fitting part 22 to be fastened to the movable furniture part 3.
  • Fig.1b shows the actuator 4 according to a possible embodiment.
  • the spring device 7 (for example at least one compression spring designed as a helical spring) is supported on the housing 5 and is supported on a fixed hinge axis A and presses against the hinge axis B.
  • the hinge axis B is mounted on a first lever end of a two-armed bell crank 9 which is rotatably mounted about the hinge axis C.
  • the second lever end of the deflection lever 9 is connected via the hinge axis D to a push lever 10, which is connected in an articulated manner via a bolt 11 to a lever 12 which can be rotated about an axis of rotation E.
  • the distance between the pin 11 along a guide of the lever 12 relative to the articulation axis E and thus the effective lever arm between the pin 11 and the articulation axis E can be changed by an adjusting device 13, so that a torque of the spring device 7 exerted on the actuating arm 6 corresponds to the respective weight of the movable furniture part 3 is adjustable.
  • the lever 12 is articulated to the levers 8, 14 via the articulated axes F, G, the levers 8, 14 being pivotally connected to the actuating arm 6 via the articulated axes H, I.
  • the actuator 4 further comprises a damping device 15 in the form of a hydraulic fluid damper, which in the exemplary embodiment shown is designed as a piston-cylinder unit.
  • the furniture fitting 4 has a limiting device 16 for limiting an opening angle of a relative pivoting movement of the actuating arm 6 and the housing 5, so that the maximum pivoting path of the actuating arm 6 (and thus that of the movable furniture part 3) can be limited.
  • the limiting device 16 comprises an actuating element 16a movably mounted on the lever 8, wherein the maximum opening angle of the actuating arm 6 can be set in an adjustable manner by manual actuation of the actuating element 16a by means of a tool.
  • This limiting device 16 is advantageous, for example, when the movable furniture part 3 is in the installed position directly under a ceiling and a collision of the movable furniture part 3 with this ceiling is to be prevented when opening.
  • the levers 8, 14 together with the articulation axes F, G, H, I form a quadrilateral joint, the distance between the levers 8, 14 being limited by the limiting device 16.
  • the actuator 4 also has a locking device 17 for locking a pivoting position of the actuating arm 6.
  • This locking device 17 is advantageous when the movable furniture part 3 is not yet connected to the actuating arm 6, so that an uncontrolled deflection of the flapless actuating arm 6 in the opening direction is prevented due to the torque exerted on the actuating arm 6 by the spring device 7.
  • the locking device 17 comprises a manually actuated switching element 18 and a control part 19 movably mounted on the actuating arm 6, which is activated by the assembly of the movable furniture part 3 on the actuating arm 6 (ie can be acted upon by the fitting part 22) to be fastened to the movable furniture part 3.
  • a locking element 20 is emanating from a position locking the actuating arm 6 into a position the actuating arm 6 releasing position movably mounted along an elongated hole 21 of the actuating arm 6.
  • the locking element 20 is designed as a cylindrical bolt.
  • a latching device 23 is mounted with a resilient latching lever, by means of which the actuating arm 6 can be releasably latched to the fitting part 22 to be fastened to the movable furniture part 3.
  • At least one adjusting device 27 with an adjusting wheel is provided on the adjusting arm 6, a position of the adjusting arm 6 relative to the fitting part 22 being adjustable by rotating the adjusting wheel.
  • Fig. 2a shows the actuator 4 according to Fig. 1b in a cross section.
  • the limiting device 16 for limiting the opening angle of the actuating arm 6 comprises a stop 24, a position of the stop 24 being adjustable, preferably continuously, by actuating the actuating element 16a.
  • the actuating element 16a is mounted on the lever 8, the stop 24 interacts with the lever 14 in a position limiting the opening angle, preferably with a material thickness of the lever 14.
  • the actuating arm 6 is locked by the locking device 17, so that inadvertent opening or knocking out of the actuating arm 6 is prevented in the pivoting range in which the spring device 7 acts on the actuating arm 6 in the opening direction.
  • the locking device 17 comprises the locking element 20, by means of which the articulation axis I, the switching element 18 and the control part 19 can be locked together in a position locking the actuating arm 6.
  • the actuating arm 6 is locked in the closed position, the locking element 20 in a first locking recess 28a of the lever 8 is recorded.
  • a second locking trough 28b is provided for locking the actuating arm 6 in an open position, the adjusting arm 6 being receivable in the second locking trough 28b in the open position.
  • the switching element 18 is in the figure shown on the actuating arm 6 in the direction of arrow 29 ( Fig.
  • the control part 19 can be designed as a lever pivotably mounted about an axis of rotation 30, wherein a first lever end of the lever (at reference number 19) can be acted upon by the fitting part 22 during assembly of the movable furniture part 3 and a second lever end of the control part 19 a guide 31 for the displaceable mounting of the locking element 20.
  • Fig. 2b shows the in Fig. 2a circled area in an enlarged view.
  • Fig. 3a shows the actuator 4 according to the Figures 2a, 2b in an unlocked position of the actuating arm 6.
  • the fitting part 22 to be attached to the movable furniture part 3 would act on the lever arm of the control part (at reference number 19) in a clockwise direction, so that the unlocking of the locking element 20 from the locking recess 28a and the above-described movement sequences in one identical way.
  • the switching element 18 would then, by mounting the fitting part 22 on the actuating arm 6, automatically move in the direction of the arrow 29 ( Fig. 2b ) move. It is thus possible for the user to unlock the actuating arm 6 either by manually actuating the switching element 18 in the direction of the arrow 29 or alternatively by mounting the fitting part 22 on the actuating arm 6. After unlocking, the actuating arm 6 can be moved further in the direction of the arrow 29 in the direction of the open position by exerting force on the switching element 18.
