Embodiment Construction

[0024] The method according to the invention is used, for example, in figure 1 furnished as shown. The piece of furniture comprises two furniture bodies 2 , 3 arranged at an angle α to one another, in which movable furniture parts 4 , 5 , which are designed here as drawers, are held. α here describes an angle formed by the front faces of the two furniture bodies 2 , 3 , from which a drawer can be moved out, a flap can be pivoted or a door can be arranged to swing out from the front plane. It is also conceivable to combine drawers, flaps or doors at the front of the furniture bodies 2 , 3 .

[0025] figure 2 The furniture 1 is shown partially removed with one movable furniture part held therein. A drawer 4 is movably held on a box-shaped furniture body 2 . To this end, pull-out guide rails 6 are provided on the sides of the drawer 4 , and these guide rails are fixed on the corresponding sides on the furniture body 2 .

[0026] Adjacent to the rear wall 7 of the drawer 4 i...

Abstract

A method for controlling at least one drive unit (14, 16, 18) by means of an electronic control unit (13, 15, 17) which drives at least one part (4, 5) of an item of furniture which can move in relation to a body (2, 3) of an item of furniture, wherein the method exhibits the following steps: a) regular interchange of up-to-date status information about the drive unit (14, 16, 18) between the drive unit (14, 16, 18) and the electronic control unit (13, 15, 17) in time intervals which are defined by a time window (F), b) regular determination of a sensitivity threshold value (Es) from the status information (I2, I3, I4, I7, I8, I9) which is available from the electronic control unit (13, 15, 17) within this time window (F), c) occurrence of a discharge signal (SA) in a time window (F), d) comparison of the sensitivity threshold value (Es) with the value of the discharge signal (SA), e) execution of the discharge process if the discharge signal (SA) exceeds the sensitivity threshold value (ES), or f) ignoring the discharge signal (SA) if the discharge signal (SA) falls below the sensitivity threshold value (Es). The invention also describes a control apparatus for controlling furniture drive units (14, 16, 18).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for controlling a furniture drive unit and a control device for controlling a furniture drive unit. Background technique [0002] Furniture drive units and methods for their control are known from the prior art. Such furniture drive units are used, for example, in electromechanical drawer opening systems, which are generally positioned behind the drawers in such a way that the drive means, for example a motor-driven lever, pushes the drawer out of a furniture body by a distance in response to a corresponding trigger signal. distance. [0003] The problem is that occasionally an electronic control unit mistakenly recognizes a trigger signal and subsequently activates the drive unit controlled by the electronic control unit, although the drawer opening system is not intended to be actuated. The reason for this unintentional triggering is, for example, that a vibration of the furniture body caused by an external force o...
