Description

[0001] Arrangement comprising a container and at least one

[0002] drive unit

[0003] The invention relates to an arrangement comprising a container, in particular a drawer, and at least one drive unit for at least partially automated movement of the container relative to a stationary piece of furniture, in particular a furniture carcass, comprising an electric motor, preferably supplied with 230 V, and a control and / or regulating device for controlling the electric motor. Furthermore, the invention relates to a piece of furniture having such an arrangement. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for assembling such an arrangement.

[0004] In the furniture industry, containers are typically moved manually relative to stationary furniture components. Conventional drive units for containers generally either only temporarily transmit power to the container or—particularly due to the problem of ensuring a secure power connection for movable furniture components—are stationary on a cabinet rail of a guide device for the container in order to move a drawer rail of the guide device relative to the cabinet rail.

[0005] Such an arrangement is already known from the document WO 2012 / 112998 A1, wherein an electric motor arranged behind the container on the guide system transmits force to a rack to move the container.

[0006] A disadvantage of the current technology is that a high level of assembly effort is required to install the electric motor on the guide system. A power supply must be ensured across the entire extension path, and the power supply is limited to the electric motor. Maintenance of the electric motor is not user-friendly, and replacing the electric motor to adapt to changing requirements or for retrofitting is not flexible.

[0007] The objective technical object of the present invention is therefore to provide an arrangement which is improved over the prior art, as well as an improved method, in which the disadvantages of the prior art are at least partially eliminated, and which are characterized in particular by a particularly convenient connection of the electric motor and the possibility of using the power supply of the electric motor in a variety of ways.

[0008] This problem is solved by the features of claim 1.

[0009] It is therefore provided according to the invention that the electric motor, preferably the at least one drive unit, is arranged on the container and / or a guide device for the container in such a way that the electric motor is movement-coupled to the container and the at least one drive unit comprises a connecting device for the electric motor, via which the electric motor can be or is detachably coupled to the at least one drive unit.

[0010] This makes it possible for the electric motor to be arranged in a modular manner as an add-on for the container, directly or indirectly detachably on the container, whereby a current for supplying the electric motor with energy can be used in a variety of ways and / or the electric motor can be easily replaced or retrofitted to existing guide devices / drive units. The detachable coupling can be understood as a tool-free coupling / decoupling in the connection to the container. In addition, it is also conceivable to connect the electric motor to the drive unit in a non-detachable manner. For example, the connection device - alternatively or in addition to the electric motor - can be provided with technologies separate from the electric motor as a current sink.For example, a locking device can be coupled to the container instead of the electric motor, or a portion of the current flowing through the connection device can be used by another current sink—such as the locking device. Current sinks separate from the electric motor can generally be supplied by current not flowing through the connection device. Generally, the connection device can be used exclusively to connect the electric motor to the drive unit or the container—without directly transferring current.

[0011] Preferably, the at least one drive device and / or the electric motor for movement coupling with the container is detachably mounted on the guide device and / or the container, particularly preferably without tools and / or behind a container rear wall, wherein it can optionally be provided that, following the movement coupling, a fixing of the at least one drive device and / or the electric motor is carried out for additional security against unintentional release of the at least one drive device and / or the electric motor by means of a tool (for example for a screw connection).

[0012] Another positive feature is that the container can be quickly and easily connected or hung on the guide system without having to establish a direct electrical connection to the container. For example, the container can be provided with an attachment strip which also conducts electricity into and / or to the container, preferably with the attachment strip being in electrically conductive connection with the connecting device. The number of electric motors for the drive unit is generally arbitrary, with two electric motors, for example, being able to be arranged in the area of ​​two side walls of the container. Preferably, exactly one electric motor is provided in the area of ​​one side wall of the container, with the area of ​​the second side wall being able to be used for a current sink.A uniform force acting on the container with an electric motor arranged on one side can be ensured by a synchronization rod - preferably via two toothed racks or toothed belts.

[0013] The container must be designed wide enough to also accommodate other movable furniture components such as shelves or treads. The connection device allows the electric motor and / or the container to be flexibly supplied with power from the power source.

[0014] As stated at the beginning, protection is also sought for a piece of furniture with at least one such arrangement.

[0015] It is preferably provided that at least one current interface for supplying at least one current sink (such as the electric motor) with energy is arranged on the guide device and / or the container in a movement-coupled manner with the container, wherein the at least one current interface is arranged behind the container rear wall and / or side walls of the container in the position of use of the arrangement.

[0016] It is particularly preferred that

[0017] - at least one current interface is arranged on the guide device in such a way that the container can be automatically coupled or decoupled in a current-conducting manner with the at least one current interface during assembly or disassembly of the container on the guide device by the alignment of the at least one current interface and / or

[0018] - at least one current interface comprises at least one magnet or magnetic contact, with which at least one current sink can be electrically connected to a current source of the fixed furniture part.

[0019] This makes it possible to assemble the arrangement - in particular the container and an electric motor of a drive unit - significantly easier, since an assembler of the arrangement can comfortably place the container on the guide device and move it in the direction of the current interface in order to automatically generate a current-conducting connection between the current source and current sinks arranged on the container. A joining direction of the container is preferably along the guide device and parallel (opposite direction) to a coupling direction of the at least one current interface. In a similar way, the container can be removed from the guide device with a single manual movement, wherein the current-conducting connection via the at least one current interface is released automatically - without the need for intervention by a user of the furniture.

[0020] Added to this is the positive feature that a user-friendly connection of the container and / or the guide device to a power grid on site can be efficiently ensured, whereby power from a power source (generally a power grid) can be passed on or distributed to a wide variety of power sinks - such as power sinks arranged on the container, an electric motor of a drive unit, a locking device for the container or the guide device - individually and in a versatile or modular manner via the at least one power interface.For example, a power cable routed via the fixed furniture part or the guide device can be connected via a cable tray to a power interface of the guide device using a magnet-assisted click connection through a magnetic contact on the rear of the container. Power can be distributed to a power interface that can optionally be equipped with an electric motor or a locking device (as a power sink of the guide device) and / or to a power interface that can be automatically coupled to the container. Within the container, power can be further transported to current sinks in the container via power interfaces on the side walls or the rear wall of the container.

[0021] For example, three current interfaces can be provided on a connection device of the guide apparatus, wherein an electric motor can be arranged at one current interface, the connection to the power source is generated via a second current interface, and current sinks of the container are supplied with power via the third current interface. Preferably, at least two current interfaces have a different relative orientation to the guide apparatus, wherein, for example, one current interface points upwards in the position of use of the arrangement and a further current interface can be aligned orthogonally thereto for connecting the container. It is advantageous that the current-conducting connection of the electric motor can be independent of the current-conducting connection of the container (and vice versa) and / or the connection to the power source.

[0022] As stated at the outset, protection is also sought for a method for assembling such an arrangement, wherein the following process steps are carried out:

[0023] - the container and the at least one drive unit are provided and - the electric motor is arranged detachably on the connection device of the container, in particular plugged on or connected via a magnetic connection, such that the electric motor is motion-coupled to the container during a relative movement between the container and a fixed furniture part.

[0024] This allows for particularly efficient assembly of a piece of furniture. For example, the electric motor is attached to a drive unit for the container located on the guide device or connected via magnets. The container is placed on the guide device to ensure kinematic interaction with the drive unit. Separating or connecting power lines is not mandatory for this purpose.

[0025] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

[0026] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the electric motor is arranged on a rear wall of the container and / or in the position of use of the arrangement, preferably concealed by the rear wall of the container, behind the rear wall of the container and / or via the at least one drive unit, force can be transmitted from the electric motor to a drawer rail of a guide device arranged on the container for the relative movement of the drawer rail with respect to a body rail of the guide device.

[0027] The electric motor can, for example, be connected to the container via the drive unit adjacent to the container's rear wall and, via a synchronization rod drive, transmit power to a rack connected to a carcass rail (fixed to the stationary furniture part), so that a drawer rail on which the container is arranged - in particular via a container rail - is moved relative to the carcass rail. The container generally does not have to be in immediate or direct connection with the electric motor or the at least one drive unit, whereby optimal utilization of the structural dimensions for the ideal increase of storage space of the container is preferred for a given stationary furniture part.

[0028] If the electric motor is coupled to the container and concealed by the container's rear wall, a particularly aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture can be created, since the storage space of the container and the space remaining behind the container are not visually impaired by the presence of the electric motor.

[0029] The container rear wall can generally be provided by a panel which defines the storage space at the rear of the container, so that the container rear wall does not necessarily have to be the rear wall closest to the fixed piece of furniture.

[0030] Alternatively or additionally, it is possible to arrange the electric motor at least partially below a bottom wall of the container, whereby the structural size of the fixed furniture part can be reduced and / or the storage space of the container can be increased.

[0031] Advantageously, it is provided that the at least one drive unit is in constant force-transmittable connection with the container substantially over an extension path of the container or at least over a third of the extension path of the container and / or the container can be acted upon by the at least one drive unit with force from the at least one drive unit substantially over an extension path of the container or at least over a third of the extension path of the container.

[0032] This makes it possible for the container to be subjected to force by the at least one drive unit - in contrast to known ejection devices or retraction devices - from any position along the extension path or on the guide device in the direction of a closed position or an open position. In general, however, it is not necessary to provide a drive via the at least one drive unit up to the closed position or the open position, wherein a partial transmission of force, for example depending on a load on the container or a weight of the container or friction conditions on the guide device or a force applied to the container by a user may be sufficient to move the container into an end position with remaining momentum.

[0033] Preferably, a physical model of the container and / or the guide device is stored in the at least one drive unit, or the at least one drive unit determines such a physical model in the control and / or regulating device. Particularly preferably, the at least one drive unit comprises at least one sensor for determining a speed and / or a position of the container along the extension path. For example, a fall-safe determination of the position of the container relative to the fixed furniture part can be generated via a preferably unambiguous determination of relative angles of rotation of at least two gear wheels and / or rotary potentiometers as sensors. The use of distance sensors via laser is also conceivable.It has proven advantageous that two toothed racks or toothed belts which can be connected or are connected via a synchronization rod and are preferably arranged parallel and / or stationary relative to a possibly present carcass rail are provided for synchronizing and / or lateral stabilizing a movement of the container relative to the fixed furniture part, wherein the synchronization rod can be driven, preferably directly, by the electric motor of the at least one drive unit, so that the container can be moved along the two toothed racks or toothed belts, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one drive unit is arranged indirectly via one of the two toothed racks or toothed belts on a carcass rail and / or the synchronization rod comprises a gear meshing with one of the two toothed racks or toothed belts and / or the electric motor.

[0034] In the prior art, synchronization rods are typically used for stabilization or to prevent tilting or one-sided loads. In this embodiment, the synchronization rod is used directly for drive via the at least one drive device—driven by the electric motor. It is generally also possible to provide a rack in conjunction with a toothed belt as an alternative to two racks or two toothed belts. The rack is particularly preferably flexible and / or elastic, which allows for particularly secure coupling and / or particularly effective noise reduction.

[0035] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the connection device has at least one

[0036] Magnet or magnetic contact for securing the electric motor to the at least one drive unit, or vice versa. A magnet or magnetic contact can be used to ensure secure positioning of the electric motor on the connection device of the at least one drive unit. The magnet or magnetic contact can also have a dual function for transmitting current to the electric motor or other current sinks, so that the connection device acts, on the one hand, to fix the electric motor and, on the other hand, to supply energy (to the electric motor or additional current sinks).

[0037] An advantageous variant of the present invention is that current can be supplied to the electric motor via the connecting device, preferably via the at least one magnet or magnetic contact that may be present, and / or at least one current sink that is separate from the electric motor and is preferably arranged on the container can be supplied with current.

[0038] The connection device can thus have a dual function, whereby this dual function or simply the power supply can also be used for other current sinks. The magnetic contact can form a click connection.

[0039] It is particularly preferably provided that the connecting device is movement-coupled to the container and / or, preferably via a power line or cable drag, is electrically coupled, preferably automatically, to a power source of the fixed furniture part, wherein it is preferably provided that the container can be dismantled or assembled from the fixed furniture part, particularly preferably by decoupling or coupling via the connecting device and / or the power line, cable drag or power source is guided on a carcass rail or any existing rack or toothed belt. A cable drag can ensure that a sufficient power line section is available for the power supply in every position along the extension path and wear and tear on the power line is reduced.The cable tray can be electrically connected to the connection device using a click connection and / or a magnetic contact.

[0040] The power source can generally be located on the fixed part of the furniture or arranged on the cabinet rail or a rack.

[0041] In one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that a power source arranged on the fixed furniture part, a power line arranged at least in part on the container and a power sink arranged on the container are provided, wherein the power line runs via a carcass rail arranged on the fixed furniture part and / or the power line runs, preferably directly, between two carcass rails and / or toothed racks or toothed belts of the fixed furniture part.

[0042] The current sink can generally be arranged alternatively or additionally on the guide device, wherein, for example, a lighting device arranged on the drive unit illuminates a further container arranged below the container in the use position of the arrangement, provided that the further container is moved from the closed position. Detection of a movement can be generated by a position measuring device, wherein the power supply of the electric motor is particularly preferably used for the sensor system and / or the lighting device.

[0043] Decoupling the container from the guide system can preferably be achieved without disconnecting a power connection. Decoupling the electric motor can preferably be achieved by releasing the connection to the connecting device (without disconnecting a power line). Decoupling the guide device can preferably be achieved by releasing a connection analogous to the magnetic connection of the connecting device or a plug connection to the power source.

[0044] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the current sink is in the form of

[0045] - the electric motor for the at least one drive unit and / or

[0046] - a lighting device, preferably a lamp and / or LED strip and / or LED surface, and / or

[0047] - a camera and / or

[0048] - a socket and / or

[0049] - a charger, preferably wireless, preferably induction charger, and / or

[0050] - a locking device and / or a lid for the container and / or

[0051] - a base step and / or a shelf and / or

[0052] - a sensor and / or a data transfer module, preferably arranged on a side wall of the container, and / or

[0053] - a temperature control device and / or a

[0054] Disinfection device for the container is available.

[0055] In the context of the present invention, the socket and the charger can be understood as a power sink without, for example, an electronic terminal being connected to the socket or the charger.

[0056] For example, a camera can be used to monitor the condition of food

[0057] - especially in a vacuum-controlled and / or temperature-controlled and / or sterilized container - can be checked or the contents of a container can be identified remotely. The current sink can also be in the form of a step stool or a lid for a container, for example, which can be locked or essentially hermetically sealed via electricity in a movement relative to the container or the guide device.

[0058] A storage space of the container can be illuminated by means of a lighting device - in particular one integrated into a base wall or arranged above a base wall - whereby, for example, areas separated by a separating means can be individually illuminated.

[0059] It has proven to be advantageous that the current sink is arranged on a front and / or a container rear wall and / or a side wall and / or a bottom wall and / or a top wall of the container and / or the fixed furniture part, wherein it is preferably provided that the movable furniture part and / or the container comprises at least one separating means for dividing up a storage space on which the current sink and / or the power line is arranged.

[0060] The current sink can generally be positioned anywhere, although it is particularly preferred that the current sink be arranged directly on the container. The power supply can, for example, be guided via the guide device, preferably a carcass rail and / or a cable tray, or distributed by the connection device. A separate power source for each current sink - such as a rechargeable battery or a battery - is generally not required, and a power grid voltage customary in the respective region - preferably 230 V - can be used. Other possible areas of application for the power supply include a container lock for the guide device or the container itself, a base step, a fresh-keeping lid, etc.

[0061] The power supply is preferably routed via a side wall of the container. For example, the side wall can comprise an attachment strip for the side wall of the container, which conducts current from a rear wall of the container towards the front of the container. The attachment strip can itself comprise at least one current sink - such as at least one lighting means - and, for example, at least one sensor and / or at least one data transfer module for communication with an electronic means, for example to form a goods management system. The attachment strip can be electrically connected to the electric motor and / or the connecting device via a click connection and / or a magnetic contact. The attachment strip can be connected to the rear wall of the container via a click connection and / or a magnetic contact.

[0062] In a further embodiment, it can be provided that the power line is guided from the fixed furniture part via the connection device for an electric motor or a locking device and / or via a side wall, preferably a top strip, of the container to a front of the container, preferably on an upper side of the side wall in the position of use of the container and / or at least in regions within the side wall, wherein it is preferably provided that the container, particularly preferably the side wall or a bottom wall, comprises a power line or cable drag for providing a power line section during a movement of the container.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one drive unit comprises a locking device for inhibiting a movement of the container relative to the fixed furniture part, wherein the locking device can be arranged on the connecting device, preferably by the magnet or magnetic contact of the connecting device, or comprises a magnet or magnetic contact for arrangement on the connecting device.

[0063] The at least one locking device, which can be attached to the connecting device as an alternative or in addition to the electric motor, can prevent an unauthorized person from gaining access to the stored goods in the storage space. A locking device in the form of a lock can prevent movement of the container or obstruct access to the storage space. A locking device in the form of a catch can be used to fix a shelf in the open position relative to the stationary furniture part. The locking device can generally also be used as a vibration and / or earthquake protection device.

[0064] It is preferably provided that the at least one drive unit comprises a data interface and / or a storage unit and / or a computing unit and / or there is a, preferably direct, power connection between two body rails arranged on the fixed furniture part.

[0065] Information about the movement sequences of the container or the stored goods in the container, as well as data about the electric motor or the locking device, can be obtained via the data interface. A power connection between the cabinet rails (or racks or drawer rails) eliminates the need for a power source connected to both sides of the guide device, allowing energy to be transferred directly from one side of the guide device to the other side.

[0066] It is particularly preferred that the container is driven by the at least one drive unit from a closed position, an open position or a position between the closed position and the open position completely or only partially in the direction of the open position or the closed position via the electric motor.

[0067] Varying movement trajectories of the container are possible by means of the at least one drive unit, wherein, for example, a speed profile can be adjusted as a function of a positioning of the container on the guide device and / or an acceleration of the container by an operator.

[0068] Activation of the electric motor can be initiated by an overpressure movement and / or simply by touching the front of the container. Particularly preferably, the container can be moved along the extension path in a freewheeling range—without power being transmitted from the electric motor to the container. For example, a freewheel clutch can be used for this purpose. An overload clutch can be integrated into the electric motor, although this is not mandatory.

[0069] It is particularly preferred that the container is suspended from the fixed furniture part via a guide device and / or is connected, preferably automatically, to a power source of the fixed furniture part, wherein, if appropriate, the container is separated from the power source and the fixed furniture part simultaneously in a single disassembly process step in a subsequent process step.

[0070] The connection device allows both disassembly and assembly of the container to be performed in a single process step. A separate connection of a power cable to the container or to the electric motor is not required.

[0071] Further details and advantages of the present invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawings.

[0075] Fig. 4a-4i illustrates a connection of a drive unit to a guide device with enlarged detail sections in the area of ​​a drawer rail and a carcass rail in perspective views. Fig. 1a shows a piece of furniture with arrangements of a container 1 in the form of a drawer and a fixed furniture part - designed as a furniture carcass.

[0076] The container 1 can be driven by a drive unit 2 from a closed position 38, an open position 39 or a position between the closed position 38 and the open position 39 completely or only partially in the direction of the open position 39 or the closed position 38.

[0077] In Fig. 1b it can be seen that the container 1 can be driven by an electric motor 4 of the drive unit 2.

[0078] The electric motor 4 is arranged on a container rear wall 6 of the container 1 and, in the use position 7 of the arrangement, is concealed behind the container rear wall 6, wherein the electric motor 4 can be slightly spaced from the container rear wall 6. Via the drive unit 2, force can be transmitted from the electric motor 4 to a drawer rail 8 of a guide device 9 arranged on the container 1 for the relative movement of the drawer rail 9 with respect to a body rail 10 of the guide device 9.

[0079] The arrangement comprises the drive unit 2, which is for the at least partially automated movement of the container 1 relative to the fixed furniture part 3, wherein the electric motor 4 of the drive unit 2 can be supplied with 230 V and comprises a control and / or regulating device 5 for controlling the electric motor 4.

[0080] The electric motor 4 and the drive unit 2 are connected via a

[0081] Guide device 3 is arranged on the container 1 so that the

[0082] Electric motor 4 is motion-coupled to the container 1, wherein the drive unit 2 comprises a connecting device 14 for the electric motor 4, via which the electric motor 4 can be detachably coupled to the drive unit 2. The electric motor 4 can be plugged or placed onto the drive unit 2 for fixing and is connected via a magnetic contact 15 to a power supply via the drive unit 2.

[0083] The connection device 14 comprises a magnet in the magnetic contact 15 for securing the electric motor 4 to the drive unit 2, wherein the magnetic contact 15 can be provided alternatively or additionally on the electric motor 4.

[0084] A current sink 16 in the form of a lighting device 20 in the form of a lamp is arranged on a front 24 of the container. The lamp is supplied with power via a top strip 40 arranged on a top side 33 of a side wall 25 of the container 1. The power of the lighting device 20 is drawn from the power grid and guided via the guide device 9.

[0085] The drive unit 2 is in constant, force-transmittable connection with the container 1 over an entire extension path 11 of the container 1, wherein the container 1 can be acted upon by force from the drive unit 2 by the electric motor 4 of the drive unit 2 over the extension path 11 of the container 1.

[0086] Three exemplary positions for current sinks 16 in the form of cameras 21 are schematically indicated on the container 1. The container 1 can comprise a separating means for dividing up a storage space or a separate separating means can be arranged on the container 1, wherein current sinks 16 can be arranged on the separating means and are electrically connected to the side wall 25 or the connecting device 14 via a power line 17. The housing of the electric motor 4 comprises a data interface 35, wherein the data interface 35 can forward digital data records to a terminal device (e.g. smartphone) by radio signal transmission or by cable. The housing of the electric motor 4 comprises a memory unit 36 ​​and a computing unit 37. The storage unit 36, the computing unit 37 or the data interface 35 can generally be arranged at any position of the drive unit 2 or, for example, on the side wall 25.

[0087] A current sink 16 in the form of a sensor 45 and a current sink 16 in the form of a data transfer module 46 are arranged on the side wall 25 of the container 1. Further current sinks 16 can be provided, for example, as a lockable lid for the container, as a base step, or as a shelf. For example, the storage space of the container can be cooled or heated via a current sink 16 in the form of a temperature control device, wherein, with a current sink 16 as a disinfection device, the storage space can be protected from contamination or a clean atmosphere can be provided for the storage space. For example, the temperature control device (generally each current sink 16) can supply the storage space region by region or individually - for example, depending on a control and / or regulating device and / or via a separating means.

[0088] The current sinks 16 in the form of the data transfer module 46 and the sensor are arranged directly on the side wall 25. The current sink 16 in the form of the camera 21 is indirectly connected to the power source in a current-conducting manner via the container rear wall 6. The current sink 16 in the form of the lamp 20 is indirectly connected to one of the two side walls 25 and the container rear wall 6 in a current-conducting manner via a current line 17. Fig. 2a shows an area between the attachment strip 40 (placeable or pluggable - optionally spaced from an upper side 33 of the side wall 25) and the lighting device 20, wherein a current line 17 is guided from the attachment strip 40 of the side wall 25 to the current sink 16 in the form of a lamp in a front 24 of the container 24. In general, the power connection to the lamp can be made outside the front 24, the lamp being adjustable in height relative to a floor wall 26 along the front 24.The bottom wall 26 defines a cover wall 27 for a further container arranged below the container 1, wherein the cover wall 27 can generally also be formed by the fixed furniture part 3.

[0089] Fig. 2b shows the container 1 comprising the drive unit 2 with the electric motor 4, wherein the enlarged detail in the area of ​​the connection of the electric motor 4 to the drive unit 2 and the transmission of current from a power source is shown. The current can be transmitted via the guide device 9 or the container 1 (the side wall 25 or the container rear wall 6).

[0090] Figs. 2c, 2d, and 2e illustrate the connecting device 14 with the electric motor 4, a locking device 32 connected as an alternative to the electric motor 4, and, prior to connection, a desired movement technology for the container. In general, the locking device 32 can also be provided in combination with the electric motor 4 or at another position in the arrangement. If manual actuation of the container 1 is desired, a locking device 32 can be connected (currently conductively) to the connecting device as an alternative to the electric motor 4.

[0091] The connection device 14 and the current interface 41 are suitable for connecting varying movement technologies or current sinks 16 to the container 1 in a modular manner or for electrically connecting them to the

[0092] container to connect .

[0093] In Fig. 2c it can be seen that the electric motor 4 partially encompasses the side wall 25 in the region of a top strip 40, wherein the electric motor is electrically connected to the connecting device by a magnetic contact 15 and to the top strip 40 of the side wall 25 by a magnetic contact 15. The top strip 40 is electrically connected to the container rear wall 6 by a magnetic contact 15, although this is not absolutely necessary and current transmission to the side wall 25 can also be omitted. The electrically conductive connection can generally also be present apart from a magnetic connection.

[0094] In Fig. 2d it can be seen that the power line 17 is guided from the fixed furniture part 3 via the connecting device 14 for the electric motor 4 or the locking device 32 to the locking device 32 (or an electric motor 4 arranged on the connecting device 14) or is guided by means of the attachment strip 40 via the side wall 25 of the container 1 to the front 24 of the container 1.

[0095] The current is conducted along an upper side 33 of the side wall 25 in the use position 7 of the container 1 and at least partially within the side wall 25, there being a current connection between the top strip 40 of the side wall 25 and the container rear wall 6, which is designed as a plug-in connection. If the top strip 40 is pivoted in the direction of the storage space of the container, a current connection is established via the container rear wall 6 to the second side wall 25 (the second top strip 40). The process for connecting the power lines 17 is generally arbitrary. The locking device 32 of the drive unit 2 is intended to inhibit movement of the container 1 relative to the stationary furniture part 3.

[0096] Fig. 2e shows that the connecting device 14 comprises a magnetic contact 15, via which the electric motor 4 can be arranged on the drive unit 2 and supplied with power. The magnetic contact 15 or a magnet can be arranged alternatively or additionally on the locking device 32 or the electric motor 4.

[0097] Fig. 2 f shows that a power line 17 is connected to the side wall 25 and arranged below the bottom wall 26 within a cable tray 18 to provide a power line section during movement of the container 1.

[0098] The arrangement comprising the two side walls 25 and the container rear wall 6 of the container 1 as well as the guide device 9 is designed in such a way that a current interface 41 (for example for the electric motor 4 or the locking device 32) is provided on the guide device 9 on the connection device 14 and four current interfaces 41 are provided on the container 1 for the two side walls 25 and the current-conducting connection of the container rear wall 6 arranged between the side walls 25, wherein in general the number of current interfaces 41 for the container 1 is arbitrary, wherein for example only current can be transferred from the current interface 41 arranged on the connection device 14 to a side wall 25. It is also conceivable to dispense with the current interface 41 of the connection device 14 and to supply current directly to the side wall 25 or the

[0099] Container rear wall 6. The current interfaces 41 are provided for supplying current sinks 16 with energy and are motion-coupled to the container 1, wherein the current interfaces 41 are arranged behind the container rear wall 6 in the use position 7 of the arrangement. The two current interfaces 41 associated with the side walls 25 are arranged on the front side behind the respective side wall 25, wherein the current interfaces 41 of the container rear wall 6 are arranged adjacent to the side walls 25.

[0100] A current interface 41 is arranged on the guide device 9 in such a way that the container 1 is automatically coupled in a current-conducting manner to the current interface 41 by the alignment of the current interface 41 when the container 1 is mounted or dismounted on the guide device 9.

[0101] The current interfaces 41 comprise a magnetic contact 15, with which current sinks 16 can be electrically connected to a current source of the fixed furniture part 3.

[0102] Fig. 2g shows a power sink 16 arranged on the container rear wall 6 in the form of a socket 22, which projects through the container rear wall 6. The power for the socket 22 can generally be drawn from the connection point 14, via the side wall 25 or the container rear wall 6, or from a power source—optionally guided via a power line 17 arranged on the guide device 3. Power lines 17 can generally lead away from the socket 22 for forwarding to other power sinks 16.

[0103] Fig. 3 schematically shows a wireless charger 23 in the form of an induction charger. However, the area can also be used, for example, to illuminate the area of ​​the container 1 via a current sink 16 in the form of an LED, an LED strip, or an LED surface.

[0104] Fig. 4a shows the guide device 9 with the side surfaces 25 and the container rear wall 6 connected thereto, wherein in the enlarged detail section one of two toothed racks 13 can be seen, which can also be designed as a toothed belt, for example.

[0105] In this embodiment, it is provided that two toothed racks 13 connected via a synchronization rod 12, arranged parallel and stationary relative to the carcass rails 10 are provided for synchronizing and lateral stabilizing a movement of the container 1 relative to the fixed furniture part 3 via the synchronization rod 12.

[0106] The synchronization rod 12 is driven directly by the electric motor 4 of the drive unit 2, allowing the container 1 to move along the two racks 13. The electric motor 4 of the drive unit 2 (hidden for clarity) is arranged indirectly on a body rail 10 via one of the two racks 13.

[0107] Fig. 4b shows the area of ​​the connection device 14 in an enlarged view, wherein when the electric motor 4 is connected to the drive unit 2, a power connection to the power system is automatically established via the magnetic contact 15.

[0108] The current interface 41 of the connection device 14 is electrically connected to the current interface 41 for the side wall 25, whereby current can be transmitted to the lamp 20 via the side wall 25. A top strip 40 of the side wall 25 is provided for this purpose, although this is not absolutely necessary. The side wall 25 has a side wall current interface 44 on a side wall end face 42 (here, a top strip end face), corresponding to the current interface 41 for the electrically conductive connection of the side wall 25 to the arrangement.

[0109] In general, current can be conducted directly from the power source or indirectly via the current interface 41 of the connecting device 14 to the container rear wall 6. An embodiment is shown, wherein the current interface 41 of the attachment strip 40 (of the side wall 25) is in electrically conductive connection with the current interface 41 of the container rear wall 6. For this purpose, the container rear wall 6 has a container rear wall current interface on both container rear wall end faces 45, corresponding to the side wall current interface for the electrically conductive connection of the container rear wall 6 to the arrangement.

[0110] The power line 17 for the current sink 16 is routed through the side wall 25 to the front 24 of the container 1 and the current sinks 16 arranged on the container. In this exemplary embodiment, a direct power connection exists between the two side walls 25 via the container rear wall 26.

[0111] All power interfaces 41 include a magnetic contact 15 for detachably coupling the current sinks 16 in a current-conducting manner, although this is not mandatory. Generally, the power source is arranged on the fixed furniture part 3.

[0112] The power interfaces 41 are electrically connected to the power source via a power line 17 or cable drag 18 over an entire extension path 11 of the container 1 along the guide device 9.

[0113] The current interface 41 of the connecting device 14 is provided for securing the electric motor 4 or the locking device 32 via a magnetic connection. The connecting device 14 comprises an additional current interface 41 for the electrically conductive connection to the side wall 25.

[0114] The power line 17 or cable drag 18 is connected to the connection device 14 via a magnetic contact 15 and current can be passed on into the container 1 via the connection device 14.

[0115] Fig . 4c differs from Fig . 4a and Fig . 4b only in the extent of the enlarged detail section .

[0116] The synchronization rod 12 is in direct contact with the connecting device 14 via the housing and in direct force-transmitting interaction with the electric motor 4 .

[0117] The cable drag 18 is aligned along its longitudinal extent with its wider side parallel to the synchronization rod 12, so that the arrangement is particularly compact in the vertical direction and the thickness of the cable drag 18 can be guided below the synchronization rod 12 and the risk of a collision with the synchronization rod 12 is reduced.

[0118] The cable drag 18 is arranged at a current interface 41 of the connecting device 14 via a magnetic contact 15, wherein current is passed on to the current interface 41 for the electric motor (or the locking device 32) and (within the connecting device 14) to the current interface 41 for the current sinks 16 of the container 1. The connecting device 14 acts, so to speak, as a current distributor of current fed via the cable drag 18 from the power source to different current sinks 16, wherein in general the container 1 functions analogously as a current distributor via the further current interfaces 41. In Fig.Figure 4d shows the guide device 9 viewed from the rear of the container. The enlarged detailed view shows that the connecting device 14 is motion-coupled to the container 1 and can be automatically electrically coupled to a power source of the fixed furniture part 3 via a power line 17 in the cable tray 18 when the cable tray 18 is electrically connected to the power source of the fixed furniture part 3. The power source does not have to be directly accessible for connecting the electric motor 4 or for assembling the container 1.

[0119] The container 1 can be disassembled or assembled from the fixed furniture part 3 by decoupling or coupling via the connecting device 14.

[0120] The power line 17 and the cable tray 18 are routed along the cabinet rail 10 in conjunction with the rack 13. The power source arranged on the fixed furniture part 3 can generally be routed along the cabinet rail 10.

[0121] The connection device 14 comprises a power interface 41 for the cable carrier 18, a power interface for the electric motor 4 (or a locking device 32) and a power interface 41 for the automatic power coupling during assembly of the container 1.

[0122] In use position 7 of the arrangement, a current interface 41 is oriented vertically upwards and a current interface 41 is oriented orthogonally thereto.

[0123] Preferably, at least two power interfaces 41 are provided on the connection device 14. The side wall 25 comprises a side wall power interface for connection to the connection device 14 for power supply via the power source and a power interface 41 for connection to the container rear wall 6 via a container rear wall power interface of the container rear wall 6.

[0124] In Fig. 4e, the cable carrier 18, comprising the power line 17, is shown enlarged. Generally, only one cable carrier 18 needs to be provided, and power can be provided to the opposite side of the guide device 9 via a further power line 17 as a direct connection. The direct power connection can generally also be provided via the synchronization rod 12.

[0125] Fig. 4 f shows that the cable carrier 18 can be removed from the guide device 9 and is in a conductive connection with the connecting device 14 in order to transport energy from a conductive connection, guided via the guide device 9, with the power source to the electric motor 4. The power source can be connected in a stationary manner to the fixed furniture part 3. The power source can be designed as a socket or as a plug connection, whereby a magnetic contact 15 is also possible.

[0126] The connecting device 14 comprises a further magnetic contact 15, with which current can be transmitted from the power source to the side wall 25—particularly when connecting the attachment strip 40. Alternatively or additionally, the side wall 25 can be connected to a magnetic contact 15 of the electric motor 4.

[0127] Fig. 4g shows the components involved in the movement transmission for converting the power generated by the electric motor 4 via the toothed rack 13 onto the drawer rail 8. The synchronization rod 12 comprises two gears 34 which mesh with one of the two toothed racks 13, wherein one of the two gears 34 can be provided for coupling to the electric motor 4. In general, however, the structural design of the output from the electric motor 4 to the synchronization rod 12 is arbitrary and can, for example, be via a belt. A meshing gear 34 assigned to the electric motor 4 for transmitting power to the synchronization rod 12 is also possible. It is also conceivable for the electric motor 4 to transmit power directly or immediately to the toothed rack 13.

[0128] Fig. 4h shows that, through the connecting device 14—via two magnetic contacts 15—current can be supplied to the electric motor 4 and current can be supplied to the side wall 25 for current sinks 16 separate from the electric motor 4 (preferably arranged on the container 1). The magnetic contact 15 associated with the side wall 25 can be omitted if current is transmitted via the electric motor 4 to the side wall 25 (or the container rear wall 6).

[0129] The guide device 9 comprises the two carcass rails 10, the two drawer rails 8 which can be moved relative to the carcass rails 10, the synchronization rod 12 driven by the electric motor 4 of the drive unit 2 and the two toothed racks 13, wherein the synchronization rod 12 and the two toothed racks 13 can also be assigned to the drive unit 2.

[0130] Fig. 4i shows the guide device 9, wherein an adapter for the side wall 25 of the container 1 for the power supply is shown in an enlarged detail. The socket 22 has been removed from the intended position on the guide device 9 for reasons of clarity, wherein the meshing gear 34 can be seen on the side of the guide device 9 opposite the electric motor 4. The connection device 14 for the electric motor 4 can be seen at the top right in the figure, wherein the top left in the figure shows a coupling device of the attachment strip 40 for transmitting power to the side wall 25 and the rear wall 6 of the container.

[0131] Starting from a power source arranged on the fixed furniture part 3, a power line 17 arranged on the container 1 and a power sink 16 arranged on the container 1 are provided, wherein the power line 17 runs via a carcass rail 10 arranged on the fixed furniture part 3, wherein the power line 17 can run directly between the two carcass rails 10 or racks 13 in connection with the fixed furniture part 3.

[0132] An exemplary method for assembling the arrangement can be explained as follows: The container 1 and the drive unit 2 are provided, wherein the electric motor 4 is detachably arranged on the connecting device 14 of the container 1 by plugging it on using the magnetic connection such that the electric motor 4 is motion-coupled to the container 1 during a relative movement between the container 1 and the fixed furniture part 3. Additional current sinks 16 of the container can be continuously supplied with power from the power source arranged on the fixed furniture part via the extension path 11.

[0133] The container 1 can be suspended from the fixed furniture part 3 via the guide device 9 in a single assembly step and automatically connected to a power source of the fixed furniture part 3, wherein the container 1 is simultaneously separated from the power source and the guide device 9 of the fixed furniture part 3 in a single disassembly process step. Another exemplary method for assembling the arrangement can be carried out as follows: The side wall 25, the container rear wall 6 and the guide device 9 are provided, wherein the power interface 41 for supplying the current sink 16 is arranged on the guide device 9 or the container 1 in such a way that when the container 1 moves, the power interface 41 is moved along with it and the power interface 41 is arranged behind the container rear wall 6 or the side wall 25 in the use position 7 of the arrangement.

[0134] By connecting the container rear wall 6 or the side wall 25 to the container 1, an electrically conductive connection can be established between the electrical interface 41 and the container rear wall 6 or the side wall 25 - for example from the side wall 25 to the container rear wall 6. For example, the electrically conductive connection between the electrical interface 41 and the container rear wall 6 can be established by connecting the side wall 25, wherein the side wall 25 or a top strip 40 of the side wall 25 is pivoted inwards onto the container 1. Analogously, the container rear wall 6 can be connected by pivoting inwards in order to establish an electrically conductive connection in the arrangement or in the container.
