no. 1 approach

[0092] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described. figure 1 It is a perspective view of the ceiling lift type furniture of this embodiment. figure 2 It is the figure which looked at the top board lift type furniture from the top surface of a top board. image 3 It is the figure which looked at the top board lift type furniture from the lower surface of a top board.

[0093] like Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, the ceiling lift type furniture 1 (hereinafter, simply referred to as “furniture 1 ”) of this embodiment includes a top panel 2 , a support body 5 , a sensor 11 , and a control unit 15 .

[0094] The top plate 2 has an upper surface 3 and a lower surface 4 . The top plate 2 has a recess for mounting a sensor 11 which will be described later near the front end portion 2 a of the top plate 2 . Other structures of the top plate 2 are not particularly limited.

[0095] The support body 5 has a beam portion 6 , a shaft portion 7 , a leg portion 8 , an...

no. 2 approach

[0126] A second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 8 It is the figure which looked at the ceiling lift type furniture of this embodiment from the upper surface side of a top panel. Figure 9 It is the figure which looked at the top board lift-type furniture from the lower surface side of a top board.

[0127] Figure 10 is a block diagram of a lift-top furniture. Figure 11 It is a table showing the up and down control of the top plate of the top plate lifting type furniture. Figure 12 It is a figure for demonstrating the state which lowers a top board in the operation of raising and lowering the top board of the top board lifting type furniture. Figure 13 It is a figure for demonstrating the state which raises a top board in the operation of raising and lowering the top board of the top board lifting type furniture.

[0128] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the furniture 20 of this embodiment is provided with a sensor 21 that can dete...

no. 3 approach

[0160] A third embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 14 It is the figure which looked at the ceiling lift type furniture of this embodiment from the side surface side of a ceiling.

[0161] like Figure 14 As shown, the furniture 30 of this embodiment has the strain sensor 31 which detects the strain of the top board 2 by a user's contact with the top board 2, instead of the sensor 11 disclosed in 1st Embodiment. Examples of the strain sensor 31 include sensors using piezoelectric elements.

[0162] The position of the strain sensor 31 is not particularly limited as long as the strain of the top plate 2 can be detected. For example, the strain sensor 31 may be disposed at the connection portion between the top plate 2 and the support body 5 .

[0163] The control part of this embodiment shrinks the support body 5 while the strain sensor 31 detects the strain generated in the top plate 2 when the user presses the upper surface 3 of the top plate 2 to...

Abstract

This top panel elevating-type furniture (1) is provided with: a top panel (2) having a top surface (3) and an under surface (4); a support body (5) that is connected to the top panel (2) and capable of extending / contracting in the thickness direction of the top panel (2); sensors (11) that are capable of detecting a touch made on the top surface (3) side of the top panel (2) by a user and a touchmade on the under surface (4) side of the top panel (2) by the user; and a control unit that, on the basis of the result of detection by the sensors (11), controls the extension / contraction movement of the support body (5) such that the support body (5) is caused to contract in the case of the detection of the touch made on the top panel (2) from the top surface (3) side of the top panel (2) by the user, whereas the support body (5) is caused to extend in the case of the detection of the touch made on the top panel (2) from the under surface (4) side of the top panel (2) by the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a ceiling lift type furniture. [0002] This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-137667 filed in Japan on July 12, 2016, and Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-137668 filed in Japan on July 12, 2016, and the contents thereof are incorporated herein. Background technique [0003] Currently, furniture with a liftable top panel is known. [0004] As techniques for raising and lowering the top board of furniture, for example, a method using a gas spring, a method using a gear (Patent Documents 1 and 2), and the like are known. [0005] The methods disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 can keep costs low because of their simple structures. However, in the methods disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, it may be difficult for a user with weak strength to operate, and depending on the height of the top board, an unreasonable posture may be forced to take up and down the top board. [0006] In...
