AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing furniture door components have a unidirectional movement trajectory and require manual operation, making it impossible to achieve automatic bidirectional movement.

Method used

The system employs a combination of electric and mechanical drive devices. The electric drive device enables the automatic movement of the door assembly between the closed and inward positions, while the mechanical drive device enables the automatic movement of the door assembly between the inward and closed positions. Furthermore, it utilizes a rope drive device and a hinge energy accumulator for energy interaction.

Benefits of technology

It enables bidirectional automatic movement of the door assembly between the closed and in positions, eliminating the need for manual operation and providing a user-friendly experience. Furthermore, the interaction with the drive mechanism ensures comfortable use of the furniture.
