Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a household appliance device that incorporates household appliances. Background Technology
[0002] Household appliances, such as dishwashers, can be integrated into furniture, particularly kitchen furniture. Such furniture can include a furniture panel that is coupled to the door of the appliance. The furniture panel covers the door of the appliance. To prevent the furniture panel from colliding with the baseboard or similar object beneath it when the door is opened, the furniture panel needs to move linearly upwards along the door away from the baseboard.
[0003] CN112535446A describes a lifting device for raising the furniture panel of a built-in dishwasher. When the door of the built-in dishwasher is opened, the lifting device moves the furniture panel linearly along the door, thereby raising the furniture panel when the door is opened. Utility Model Content
[0004] Against this backdrop, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an improved household appliance device.
[0005] Therefore, a household appliance device is proposed. This household appliance device includes a furniture panel and a household appliance, wherein the household appliance has a receiving container and a door that can be rotatably attached to the receiving container, the furniture panel is mounted at the door, the household appliance also has a lifting device configured to cause the furniture panel mounted on the door to move linearly along the door during the pivoting movement of the door, and the household appliance device also has a resilient storage device configured to support the pivoting movement of the door by means of elasticity.
[0006] The flexible storage device reduces the operating force required to pivot the door, improving the ease of operation. The lifting mechanism allows the furniture panel to be raised during pivoting, preventing it from colliding with the baseboard or other doors located below.
[0007] Furniture panels are, in particular, part of furniture that can at least partially house household appliances. Therefore, household appliances are preferably housed within the furniture. Furniture panels can move relative to the furniture itself. The furniture can be part of a household appliance assembly; however, this is not mandatory. Furniture panels can be made of wood or plastic. However, furniture panels can also be at least partially made of metal. Furniture panels can be coated.
[0008] Household appliances can be, for example, household dishwashers, household stoves, household ovens, household microwave ovens, household refrigerators, household washing machines, household dryers, or similar devices. A household dishwasher is particularly preferred. Therefore, the terms "household appliance" and "household dishwasher" can be used interchangeably. The household appliance can also be a so-called compact household appliance.
[0009] The receiving container can be a washing tank for receiving cleaned items. However, it can also be an oven cavity or the like. The following assumes the receiving container is a washing tank. The receiving container, especially waterproof, can be closed by means of a door. The receiving container is preferably cuboid and includes a loading port that can be closed by means of a door. The door can be transitioned from a closed state to an open state by means of a pivoting movement, and vice versa.
[0010] The furniture panel is preferably supported on the door in a manner that allows for linear movement. The lifting element of the lifting device is particularly capable of being fixedly connected to the furniture panel so that the linear movement of the lifting element generated by the lifting device is transmitted to the furniture panel. During the pivoting movement of the door, or when transitioning the door from a closed to an open state, the lifting element moves, and thereby the furniture panel moves linearly along the door to lift the furniture panel.
[0011] The resilient storage device generates a spring force to support or reduce the pivoting movement of the door. Here, "supporting" the pivoting movement of the door specifically means reducing the operating force applied to the door, whether for closing or opening it. This particularly means that, compared to household appliances without such a resilient storage device, the operating force required to transition the door from a closed to an open state, and vice versa, is reduced or eliminated. Specifically, the corresponding operating force is reduced due to the spring force.
[0012] According to one design, the resilient storage device has a housing, a piston supported in the housing in a linearly movable manner, and a resilient element configured to apply a resilient force to the piston.
[0013] The housing can be connected to a furniture panel, for example, by screwing or gluing it. Alternatively, the housing can be connected to a door, for example, by screwing or gluing it. A piston can compress or clamp the elastic element. Therefore, the elastic element can transition from an uncompressed or untensioned state to a compressed or tensioned state, and vice versa. In the tensioned state, the elastic element stores energy, thus the elastic storage device stores potential energy. This is used to generate a spring force to support the pivoting movement of the door. The elastic element is preferably a compression spring. The elastic element can be a cylindrical spring. The elastic storage device can contain multiple elastic elements.
[0014] According to another implementation, the piston abuts against the contact surface of the door or the contact surface of the furniture panel when the door is open.
[0015] The piston is pressed against the contact surface, causing the elastic storage device to apply elastic force to the contact surface. If the piston abuts against the contact surface of the door when the door is open, the elastic storage device is mounted on the furniture panel. If the piston abuts against the contact surface of the furniture panel when the door is open, the elastic storage device is mounted on the door.
[0016] According to another implementation scheme, when the door transitions from the closed state to the open state, the elastic element transitions from an untensioned state to a tensioned state.
[0017] Due to its elastic properties, an elastic element changes from a state of no tension to a state of tension. Therefore, a force opposite to the elastic force needs to be applied to the elastic element. If this force is no longer applied to the elastic element, it will deform from a tensioned state back to an untensioned state on its own.
[0018] According to another implementation scheme, when the door transitions from a closed state to an open state, the resilient storage device brakes the pivoting motion of the door.
[0019] This improves operational comfort. Conversely, flexible storage devices reduce the operational force required to turn the door from the open to the closed position. This also improves operational comfort.
[0020] According to another implementation, the flexible storage device is connected to a door or furniture panel.
[0021] In particular, the housing of the flexible storage device is connected to a door or furniture panel. For example, screw connections or adhesive connections can be used.
[0022] According to another embodiment, the lifting device includes: a toothed element fixed relative to the receiving container, a toothed lifting element coupled to the furniture panel, a planetary gear meshing with the toothed element, and a gear operatively connected to the planetary gear, the gear meshing with the toothed element to convert the pivoting motion of the door into linear movement of the lifting element along the door.
[0023] According to another embodiment, a household appliance is proposed, comprising a receiving container, a door rotatably attached to the receiving container, and a lifting device. The lifting device is configured to enable a furniture panel mounted on the door to move linearly along the door during pivoting motion of the door. The lifting device includes a toothed element fixed relative to the receiving container, a toothed lifting element coupled to the furniture panel, a planetary gear meshing with the toothed element, and a gear operatively connected to and meshing with the teeth of the planetary gear, to convert the pivoting motion of the door into linear movement of the lifting element along the door.
[0024] The toothed element can be a toothed plate or the like. The toothed element can be mounted, for example, on a receiving container or on the base support of a household appliance that carries the receiving container. The lifting element is preferably plate-shaped or sheet-shaped. In particular, the lifting element has a first section and a second section arranged perpendicular to the first section. Teeth can be provided in the first section. The second section can be connected to a furniture board. The first and second sections are preferably positioned perpendicular to each other. The teeth of the toothed element preferably extend in a straight line. The teeth are particularly characterized by a rack shape. Therefore, the teeth can also be called a rack. The lifting device can also be called a pushing device.
[0025] During the pivoting motion of the door, the planetary gear preferably moves relative to the gear element on an arc-shaped track, especially a circular arc-shaped track. Therefore, the planetary gear moves relative to the gear element. The gear is preferably connected to the planetary gear, converting the rotational motion of the planetary gear into the rotational motion of the gear. The rotational motion of the gear, in turn, causes linear movement of the lifting element. In other words, the lifting device converts the pivoting or rotational motion of the door into linear movement of the lifting element, which in turn converts into linear movement of the furniture panel coupled to the lifting element.
[0026] According to another implementation scheme, the tooth element is curved.
[0027] In particular, the gear element is curved in an arc shape. The gear element has teeth into which the planetary gear meshes. Therefore, the planetary gear has mating teeth corresponding to the teeth of the gear element. The gear element can also be called a gear plate. The teeth of the gear element are particularly located on the arc segment. For example, the teeth can extend at an angle greater than 90°.
[0028] According to another implementation, the gears are torsionally connected to the planetary gears via a common shaft.
[0029] Here, "torsively" specifically means that neither the gears nor the planetary gears can twist relative to their common shaft. The torque applied to the planetary gears is therefore transmitted directly to the gears.
[0030] According to another embodiment, the household appliance also includes a rotating element that is rotatable together with the door about a rotating axis, wherein the axis is rotatably supported at the rotating element.
[0031] Rotating elements, especially those in lifting mechanisms. The common shaft of planetary gears and gears is rotatably supported at the rotating element, particularly by means of a suitable bearing structure. The bearing structure can include sliding bearings or rolling bearings.
[0032] According to another implementation, the shaft is arranged offset from the rotation axis.
[0033] In particular, the shaft is positioned upwardly offset relative to the axis of rotation. Therefore, the common shaft of the gears and planetary gears is preferably not aligned with the axis of rotation around which the door can deflect.
[0034] According to another embodiment, the household appliance further includes a first guide element and a second guide element, the first guide element being supported at a rotating element, the second guide element being supported at a rotating element, wherein the lifting element is guided in a manner that allows linear movement at the first guide element and the second guide element.
[0035] The first and second guide elements are particularly part of the lifting mechanism. The guide elements ensure that the lifting element moves linearly without rotation during the pivoting movement of the door.
[0036] According to another embodiment, the lifting element has a guide groove in which a second guide element is accommodated.
[0037] The second guide element is supported on the guide groove. The lifting element is specifically supported on the first guide element in a linearly movable manner by means of its aforementioned first section. Therefore, the guide groove is specifically provided at the first section.
[0038] According to another implementation, the gear has a larger outer diameter compared to a planetary gear.
[0039] The gear has mating teeth that mesh with the teeth of the lifting element. Therefore, the mating teeth of the gear have more teeth than those of the planetary gear. By appropriately selecting the gear and planetary gear, the desired transmission ratio can be achieved.
[0040] According to another embodiment, the lifting element has an opening with teeth, wherein gears are arranged within the opening.
[0041] The opening is preferably rectangular. Here, "rectangular" does not preclude the corners of the rectangular geometry from being rounded. The opening completely penetrates the lifting element. The lifting element accommodates the gear through the opening. The gear preferably at least partially passes through the opening.
[0042] In addition, a household appliance device is proposed, which provides a household appliance and a furniture panel mounted on a door, wherein a lifting element is coupled to the furniture panel to convert the pivoting motion of the door into linear movement of the furniture panel along the door.
[0043] The household appliance specifically includes the aforementioned furniture, which is associated with a furniture panel. The household appliance is specifically installed within the furniture. Therefore, the household appliance is a built-in household appliance. A kickboard or door of the furniture can be provided beneath the furniture panel. During the pivoting movement of the door, the furniture panel moves away from the kickboard or door by means of a linear movement along the door of the household appliance, thereby reliably preventing the furniture panel from colliding with the kickboard or door.
[0044] Other possible implementations of the household appliance include combinations of features or implementation methods described previously or subsequently with respect to embodiments, not explicitly mentioned. In this process, those skilled in the art will also consider individual aspects as improvements or additions to their respective basic forms of the household appliance. Attached Figure Description

[0074] In the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise stated, identical or functionally identical elements are indicated by the same reference numerals.
[0075] Figure 1 A schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a household appliance 1 is shown. For example, household appliance 1 could be a household dishwasher, household stove, household oven, household microwave oven, household refrigerator, household washing machine, household dryer, or similar equipment. However, it is assumed below that household appliance 1 is a household dishwasher. Therefore, the terms "household appliance" and "household dishwasher" can be used interchangeably.
[0076] Household appliance 1 includes a receiving container 2, which can be closed, particularly waterproofly, through a door 3. The receiving container 2 can be a cleaning container for receiving items to be cleaned. Therefore, the receiving container 2 can also be called a cleaning container. To waterproofly close the receiving container 2, a sealing device can be provided between the door 3 and the receiving container 2. The receiving container 2 is preferably cuboid. The receiving container 2 can be arranged within the housing of the household appliance 1. The receiving container 2 and the door 3 can form a cleaning space 4 for cleaning the items to be cleaned.
[0077] Door 3 Figure 1The door 3 is shown in its open position. The door 3 can be closed or opened by rotating about a pivot 5 located at its lower end. The loading port 6 of the receiving container 2 can be closed or opened via the door 3. The receiving container 2 has a bottom 7, a top 8 opposite to the bottom 7, a rear wall 9 opposite to the closed door 3, and two oppositely arranged side walls 10 and 11. The bottom 7, top 8, rear wall 9, and side walls 10 and 11 can be made, for example, of stainless steel. For example, the bottom 7 can be made of plastic material.
[0078] The household appliance 1 also has at least one cleaning container 12 to 14. Preferably, multiple, such as three cleaning containers 12 to 14, can be provided, wherein the cleaning container 12 can be a lower cleaning container or a lower basket, the cleaning container 13 can be an upper cleaning container or an upper basket, and the cleaning container 14 can be a dish drawer.
[0079] like Figure 1 As further shown, the cleaning item receiving portions 12 to 14 are arranged vertically within the receiving container 2. Each cleaning item receiving portion 12 to 14 can be selectively moved into or out of the receiving container 2. In particular, each cleaning item portion 12 to 14 can be pushed into or moved into the receiving container 2 along the insertion direction E, and can be pulled out or moved out of the receiving container 2 along the extraction direction A, which is opposite to the insertion direction E. The door 3 has an upper edge 15 and a lower edge 16. A rotating shaft 5 is provided at the lower edge 16.
[0080] Figure 2 A schematic perspective view of one embodiment of a household appliance device 17A is shown. The household appliance device 17A includes a household appliance 1 (not shown) as previously described, which is mounted in furniture 18. Furniture 18 houses the household appliance 1. Furniture 18 can be kitchen furniture. Furniture 18 includes a furniture panel 19 coupled to a door 3. Figure 2 In the direction of the door 3, a kick plate 20 is provided below the furniture panel 19. When the door 3 is opened, the furniture panel 19 will rotate together with the door 3. It is necessary to prevent the furniture panel 19 from colliding with the kick plate 20.
[0081] Figure 3 A schematic perspective view of another household appliance device 17B is shown. Household appliance device 17B includes the previously described household appliance 1, which is installed in furniture 18. The difference between household appliance device 17B and household appliance device 17A is that household appliance 1 is a compact household appliance. Furniture 18 houses household appliance 1.
[0082] Furniture 18 includes furniture panel 19 as described above, which is coupled to door 3. Figure 3In this direction, instead of a kickboard 20, a door 21 is provided below the furniture panel 19. When the door 3 is opened, the furniture panel 19 rotates together with the door 3. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the furniture panel 19 from colliding with the door 21.
[0083] Figures 4 to 19 Schematic perspective detail views of household appliance 1 are shown below. (See also:) Figures 4 to 19 .
[0084] Household appliance 1 includes a base support 22 that supports a receiving container 2. The base support 22 can be a plastic component, particularly a plastic injection-molded component. An arc-shaped receiving section 23 is provided at the base support 22.
[0085] To prevent the furniture panel 19 connected to the door 3 from colliding with the baseboard 20 or the door 21 of the furniture 18 when the door 3 is opened, the household appliance 1 has a lifting device 24 for lifting the furniture panel 19. Figure 14 The lifting device 24 is at least partially housed in the receiving section 23. The lifting device 24 can also be referred to as a pushing device.
[0086] Household appliance 1 is assigned a coordinate system having a width direction (x-direction), a height direction (y-direction), and a depth direction (z-direction). The x, y, and z directions are positioned perpendicular to each other. Lifting device 24 is configured to lift furniture panel 19 from above the kick plate 20 or door 21 of furniture 18 along the y-direction. A predetermined spacing or gap is always maintained between furniture panel 19 and kick plate 20 or door 21 along the y-direction.
[0087] like Figure 4 As shown, the lifting device 24 includes a main shaft 25 fixed to a base support 22. The main shaft 25 can be a bolt or the like. The main shaft 25 extends parallel to the x-direction. A rotating shaft 5 can extend through the main shaft 25. This means that the rotating shaft 5 and the main shaft 25 can be identical.
[0088] like Figure 5 As shown, the lifting device 24 has a gear element 26, which is also fixedly connected to the base support 22. The gear element 26 has arc-shaped teeth. The gear element 26 functions as the sun gear of the lifting device 24. The main shaft 25 passes through the gear element 26.
[0089] In addition, the lifting device 24 is also equipped with... Figure 6 The planetary gear 27 shown meshes with the tooth element 26. The planetary gear 27 is capable of torsion relative to the tooth element 26, such that it rotates as it moves relative to the tooth element 26. The planetary gear 27 performs a circular motion that follows the arcuate geometry of the tooth element 26.
[0090] like Figure 7 As shown, planetary gear 27 is equipped with a shaft 28, which is fixedly connected to planetary gear 27. Shaft 28 extends parallel to the main shaft 25, and therefore also parallel to the x-direction.
[0091] Planetary Gear 27 was Figure 8 The cover plate 29 shown in the diagram covers the area. The cover plate 29 can be made of steel or a similar material. The shaft 28 passes through the cover plate 29.
[0092] In addition, another plate 30 is provided, such as Figure 9 As shown in the diagram. Shaft 28 also passes through plate 30.
[0093] Figure 10 The rotating element 31 of the lifting device 24 shown is rotatably supported on the base support 22 about the main shaft 25. The rotating element 31 is capable of rotating about the main shaft 25 within the receiving section 23. The rotating element 31 is coupled to the door 3.
[0094] like Figure 11 As shown, the lifting device 24 has a gear 32. The gear 32 is torsionally connected to the planetary gear 27 via a shaft 28. This means that the gear 32 rotates together with the planetary gear 27 as the planetary gear rotates.
[0095] like Figure 12 As shown, the first guide element 33 is supported at the rotating element 31. Figure 13 As shown, the lifting device 24 also has a second guide element 34, which is also installed at the rotating element 31.
[0096] The lifting device 24 also has the function of... Figure 14 The lifting element 35 is shown in the diagram. The lifting element 35 has a first section 36 and a second section 37 arranged perpendicular to the first section 36. The first section 36 includes a guide groove 38 in which a second guide element 34 is guided. The first section 36 is also guided at a first guide element 33. The first section 36 has a receiving portion or opening 39 in which a gear 32 is received. A linear rack or toothed portion 40 is provided at the opening 39, in which the gear 32 meshes. The second section 37 is connected to the furniture panel 19.
[0097] like Figure 15 As shown, the lifting device 24 has a column element 41. The column element 41 can perform a damping function.
[0098] Figure 16 An alternative embodiment of the lifting element 35 is shown. According to... Figure 16 The lifting element 35 and according to Figure 14 and 15 The only difference between the lifting element 35 and the second section 37 is that... Figure 16The direction in the middle is not to the right, but to the left.
[0099] The lifting device 24 is also equipped with Figure 17 The coupling element 42 is shown in the diagram. The lifting device 24 also includes a coupling element 42. Figure 18 and 19 The cover 43 shown is used to cover the lifting device 24.
[0100] The function of lifting device 24 will be explained below. Figures 20 to 22 These figures provide detailed views of household appliance 17B. The following descriptions of household appliance 17B also apply to household appliance 17A.
[0101] Figure 20 Door 3 is shown in the closed state Z1. Figure 22 Door 3 is shown in the fully open state Z2. Figure 21 Gate 3 is shown as an intermediate state Z3 between the closed state Z1 and the open state Z2. The number of intermediate states Z3 between states Z1 and Z2 is arbitrary.
[0102] When door 3 is opened, that is, when door 3 transitions from closed state Z1 to open state Z2, rotating element 31 rotates about main shaft 25. Planetary gear 27 is rotatably supported on rotating element 31 by means of shaft 28, and thus moves relative to gear element 26, thereby putting gear 32, which is anti-torsional coupled to planetary gear 27 by means of shaft 28, into rotational motion.
[0103] Because gear 32 meshes with the teeth 40 of lifting element 35, lifting element 35 moves along door 21 of door 3 away from furniture 18. Because lifting element 35 is coupled to furniture panel 19, furniture panel 19 moves away from door 3, thereby preventing furniture panel 19 from colliding with door 21 when door 3 is opened. When door 3 transitions from open state Z2 to closed state Z1, the opposite movement occurs.
[0104] Figures 23 to 25 Schematic diagrams of other embodiments of the household appliance device 17C are shown below. (See also...) Figures 23 to 25 All the following descriptions of household appliance 17C also apply to the previously explained embodiments of household appliances 17A and 17B, and vice versa.
[0105] Household appliance 17C includes a household appliance 1 (not shown) as described above, which is mounted in furniture 18 (not shown) as described above. Household appliance 1 has a door 3 that is rotatable about a rotation axis 5. Furniture 18 houses household appliance 1. Furniture 18 includes a furniture panel 19 as described above, which is coupled to the door 3 as previously described.
[0106] The furniture panel 19 includes a lower edge 44 facing the baseboard 20 (not shown) and an upper edge 45 facing away from the baseboard 20. Furthermore, the furniture panel 19 has a back side 46 facing the receiving container 2 (not shown) and a front side 47 opposite the back side 46. The furniture panel 19 is supported on the door 3 in a linearly movable manner by means of a lifting device 24 (not shown).
[0107] As previously described, door 3 has an upper edge 15 and a lower edge 16, with the rotation axis 5 disposed at the lower edge. Furthermore, door 3 has a back side 48 facing the receiving container 2 and a front side 49 opposite to the back side 48. The front side 49 faces the back side 46 of the furniture panel 19. Door 3 also includes a contact surface 50, which is arranged parallel to a plane unfolded by the x-direction x and the z-direction z.
[0108] A resilient storage device 51 is arranged along the y-direction between the door 3 and the furniture panel 19. The resilient storage device 51 has a housing 52, which is fixedly connected to the furniture panel 19, particularly to the back side 46 of the furniture panel 19.
[0109] The piston 53 is supported in the housing 52 in a linearly movable manner. The piston 53 is pre-stressed toward the contact surface 50 by means of an elastic element 54 housed in the housing 52. The elastic element 54 is preferably a compression spring. The elastic element 54 can be a cylindrical spring or a coil spring.
[0110] The functions of the flexible storage device 51 will be explained below. Figures 23 to 25 Please provide an explanation. Figure 23 Door 3 is shown in the closed state Z1. Figure 25 Door 3 is shown in the fully open state Z2. Figure 24 Gate 3 is shown in a preset intermediate state Z3 between the closed state Z1 and the open state Z2. The number of intermediate states Z3 between states Z1 and Z2 is arbitrary.
[0111] In the closed state Z1, the piston 53 is not yet abutting against the contact surface 50 of the door 3. Therefore, in the closed state Z1, there is a gap between the piston 53 and the contact surface 50. The elastic element 54 can be fully released in the closed state Z1. If the door 3 transitions from the closed state Z1 to the open state Z2, the piston 53 contacts the contact surface 50 in a specific intermediate state Z3.
[0112] If the current door 3 changes further from the intermediate state Z3 to the open state Z2, the piston 53 is pressed into the housing 52, wherein the elastic element 54 is compressed. Figure 25 Therefore, the elastic element 54 is in a state of never being tensioned or compressed, Z10. Figure 23 Transitioning to a tensioned or compressed state Z20 ( Figure 25When door 3 transitions from closed state Z1 to open state Z2, the distance a between the upper edge 45 of furniture panel 19 and the upper edge 15 of door 3 increases.
[0113] When door 3 transitions from closed state Z1 to open state Z2, elastic element 54 therefore transitions from uncompressed state Z10 to compressed state Z20. In this process, the opening motion of door 3 is braked by compressing elastic element 54.
[0114] When door 3 transitions from the open state Z2 to the closed state Z1, the elastic element 54 transitions from the compressed state Z20 to the uncompressed state Z10. Therefore, piston 53 rests on contact surface 50 and applies a spring force F to that surface. The spring force F supports the transition of door 3 from the open state Z2 to the closed state Z1.
[0115] Figures 26 to 28 Schematic diagrams of other embodiments of the household appliance 17D are shown below. Reference is also made to... Figures 26 to 28 All the following descriptions of household appliance 17D also apply to the previously explained embodiments of household appliance 17A, 17B, and 17C, and vice versa.
[0116] Household appliance 17D includes a household appliance 1 (not shown) as described above, which is mounted in furniture 18 (not shown) as described above. Household appliance 1 has a door 3 that can rotate about a rotation axis 5. Furniture 18 houses household appliance 1. Furniture 18 includes a furniture panel 19 as described above, which is coupled to the door 3 as previously described.
[0117] The furniture panel 19 includes a lower edge 44 facing the baseboard 20 (not shown) and an upper edge 45 facing away from the baseboard 20. Furthermore, the furniture panel 19 has a back side 46 facing the receiving container 2 (not shown) and a front side 47 opposite the back side 46. The furniture panel 19 is supported on the door 3 in a linearly movable manner by means of a lifting device 24 (not shown).
[0118] As previously described, door 3 has an upper edge 15 and a lower edge 16 with a rotating shaft 5. Furthermore, door 3 has a back side 48 facing the receiving container 2 and a front side 49 opposite to the back side 48. The front side 49 faces the back side 46 of the furniture panel 19.
[0119] Unlike the household appliance 17C, instead of installing a resilient storage device 51 at the furniture panel 19, a resilient storage device 55 is installed at the door 3. The resilient storage device 55 is housed within the door 3. The resilient storage device 55 has a housing 56, which is fixedly connected to the door 3. The housing 56 is housed within the door 3.
[0120] The piston 57 is capable of linear movement within the housing 56. The piston 57 is spring-preloaded in the direction of the contact surface 59 of the lifting element 35 mounted on the furniture board 19 by means of an elastic element 58 housed within the housing 56. The elastic element 58 is preferably a compression spring. The elastic element 58 can be a cylindrical spring or a coil spring.
[0121] The functions of the flexible storage device 55 will be explained below. Figures 26 to 28 Please provide an explanation. Figure 26 Door 3 is shown in its closed state Z1. Figure 28 Door 3 is shown in its fully open state Z2. Figure 27 Gate 3 is shown in a preset intermediate state Z3 between the closed state Z1 and the open state Z2. The number of intermediate states Z3 between states Z1 and Z2 is arbitrary.
[0122] In the closed state Z1, the piston 57 is not yet abutting against the contact surface 59. Therefore, in the closed state Z1, there is a gap between the piston 57 and the contact surface 59. The elastic element 58 can be fully relaxed in the closed state Z1. If the door 3 transitions from the closed state Z1 to the open state Z2, the piston 57 contacts the contact surface 59 in a specific intermediate state Z3.
[0123] If door 3 changes further from the intermediate state Z3 to the open state Z2, piston 57 is pressed into housing 56, where elastic element 58 is compressed. Figure 28 Therefore, the elastic element 58 is in a state of never being tensioned or compressed (Z10). Figure 26 Transitioning to tension or compression state Z20 ( Figure 28 When door 3 transitions from closed state Z1 to open state Z2, the distance a between the upper edge 45 of furniture panel 19 and the upper edge 15 of door 3 increases.
[0124] When door 3 transitions from closed state Z1 to open state Z2, elastic element 58 therefore transitions from uncompressed state Z10 to compressed state Z20. Thus, the opening movement of door 3 is braked by compressing elastic element 58.
[0125] When door 3 transitions from the open state Z2 to the closed state Z1, the elastic element 58 transitions from the compressed state Z20 to the uncompressed state Z10. Consequently, piston 57 is supported on contact surface 59, and a spring force F is applied to this contact surface. The spring force F supports the transition of door 3 from the open state Z2 to the closed state Z1.
[0126] Although the present invention has been described by way of embodiments, it can be modified in a variety of ways.
