Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a power supply device of the type defined in the preamble of claim 1, an assembly comprising at least one drawer element, preferably a drawer or tray, and at least one such power supply device, as well as a method for assembling such an assembly in at least one furniture cabinet.
[0002] WO 2022 / 051786 discloses a power supply device for a drawer element.
[0003] However, this solution is not suitable for drawer guides that are to use a drive to influence the movement of the drawer guide or drawer elements, since the arrangement of the cable guide interferes with the attachment of the drive to the drawer guide.
[0004] The object of the present invention is to at least partially overcome the drawbacks known from the prior art and to provide an improved power supply device, particularly adapted for drives for influencing the movement of drawer guides. Furthermore, it is desirable to provide an assembly comprising at least one drawer element and at least one such improved power supply device, as well as a method for assembling such an assembly into at least one furniture cabinet.
[0005] This problem is solved by the features of claims 1, 10 and 11.
[0006] Thus, the drawer guide or drawer element is connectable or connected to at least one drive device, the drawer rail or the drawer element to be coupled to the drawer rail is drivable relative to the cabinet rail by the drive device, the power supply device has at least one follower releasably attachable to the drawer guide via at least one interface and configured to cooperate with the drive device to transmit the force of the drive device to one of the rails of the drawer guide or the drawer element, and the cable guide and the follower form a common structural unit releasably attachable to the interface of the drawer guide.
[0007] This allows the cable guide to be positioned offset relative to the follower that cooperates with the drive. At the same time, the drawer guide does not need to be provided with an additional interface for the cable guide. Instead, the interface of the drawer guide fulfills a dual function, i.e., on the one hand, for attaching the follower and on the other hand, for attaching the cable guide. In this way, a space-saving and inexpensive design is achieved while allowing the use of a drawer guide that is technically advantageous over the prior art.
[0008] An assembly according to the invention with at least one drawer element, preferably a drawer or tray, has at least one power supply device according to the invention, the drawer element being connected in the use position, preferably in its longitudinal direction, to a drawer rail of at least one drawer guide.
[0009] The method according to the invention for assembling at least one assembly according to the invention to at least one furniture cabinet comprises the following method steps, preferably in the chronological order given: assembling at least one drawer guide to the furniture cabinet via the cabinet rails; releasably attaching at least one follower and at least one cable guide to an interface of the drawer guide; optionally connecting at least one drive device to the drawer guide or to a drawer element; coupling at least one power take-off device to the drawer element; and coupling at least one drawer element to a drawer rail of the drawer guide.
[0010] Preferred embodiments are defined in the dependent claims.
[0011] Further details and advantages of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings and based on the description of the drawings. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0013] 1 and 2 show an assembly 36 with at least one drawer element 2, which in the illustrated embodiment is formed as a tray.
[0014] The assembly 36 includes at least one power supply 1, the details of which are shown in Figures 2 to 6 below.
[0015] The power supply device 1 serves to supply power, preferably 230 V, to at least one drawer element 2 and includes at least one drawer guide 4 for movably supporting the drawer element 2 in a furniture cabinet 5, wherein the drawer guide 4 has a cabinet rail 6 to be assembled in the furniture cabinet 5 and a drawer rail 7 to be coupled to the drawer element 2, wherein the cabinet rail 6 and the drawer rail 7 are supported movably relative to each other, and preferably at least one intermediate rail 8 is arranged between the cabinet rail 6 and the drawer rail 7 (see also Figure 5).
[0016] In the use position, the drawer element 2 is preferably connected at its longitudinal faces 37 to the drawer rail 7 of at least one drawer guide 4. In the illustrated embodiment, one drawer guide 4 is arranged on each of the two longitudinal faces 37 of the drawer element 2 which lie opposite each other.
[0017] The power supply device 1 comprises at least one power take-off device 9, preferably a power outlet, which is coupled to the pull-out element 2. To this outlet a consumer device, e.g. a kitchen appliance, a hairdryer or a charging cable, can be connected.
[0018] The drawer element 2 has at least one bottom 29 which is oriented horizontally in the use position of the drawer element 2 and in which at least one, preferably cylindrical, opening 28 is formed.
[0019] In the illustrated embodiment, the at least one power take-off device 9 is located at least partially inside the bottom opening 28, i.e. the power take-off device is a "buried outlet."
[0020] The power take-off device 9 can be supplied with energy as follows.
[0021] At least one electrical conductor 27 is mounted adjacent to and / or within the bottom opening 28 for conducting electrical power from the bottom opening 28 to the power takeoff device 9 .
[0022] The conductive device 27 has at least one holder 46 to be attached to the underside 45 of the bottom 29 of the drawer element 2 and a bridging device 48 to be placed in the bottom opening 28, in which case the spacing 51 of the upper surface of the bridging device 48 relative to the holder 46 can be adjusted to adapt the conductive device 27 to bottoms 29 of drawer elements 2 of different thicknesses, preferably between 5 mm and 30 mm.
[0023] In the illustrated embodiment, the bridging device 48 has at least one cylindrical body with an external thread 53, in which a holder 46 formed as a rotating member with an internal thread is rotatably supported.
[0024] At least one cable guide 12 is provided, which is preferably connected to the draw-out guide 4 and is configured to guide at least one power cable 13 to the power take-off device 9 (see also Figure 6).
[0025] It is conceivable that the cable guide 12 has, as in the illustrated example, at least one groove 25 into which at least one power cable 13 to be guided can be inserted, and at least one deflection device 26 that deflects the at least one power cable 13 to be guided by at least 90°.
[0026] Between the cable guide 12 and the conducting device 27, at least one entraining chain 33 is advantageously arranged, which is configured to guide the at least one power cable 13 in the lower plane of the pull-out element 2 when the latter moves between the closed and open positions. The term "entraining chain" should be broadly interpreted as meaning an energy guide that guides and simultaneously protects flexible cables and / or lines. However, the entraining chain does not necessarily have to consist of chain elements.
[0027] The entraining chain 33 may be connected to the conducting device 27 at a connection point 38 .
[0028] At least one plug-in device 34 may be provided at the station, preferably arranged on the cabinet rail 6, via which the power supply device 1 can be connected to a stationary power source 35. In the example shown, the plug-in device 34 is arranged on the cable guide 12.
[0029] The plug-in device 34 may be an adapter with different specifications for different countries.
[0030] The plug-in device 34 and the stationary power source 35 can be connected via at least one power cable 89, which may have different specifications for different countries (see FIG. 4).
[0031] Furthermore, the power supply device 1 may have at least one cable holder 32 which is detachable and / or connectable at the end to the cabinet rail 6. For this purpose, for example, a plug connection may be provided.
[0032] Alternatively or additionally, the power supply device 1 may have at least one shut-off device, which has at least one sensor for detecting the closed position of the drawer guide 4 or the drawer elements 2, 3 and at least one switching element that can cut off the power supply depending on the sensor signal.
[0033] Preferably, the components of the power supply device 1 can be attached to the drawer guide 4 and / or the drawer elements 2, 3 without tools, thereby providing retrofitting possibilities.
[0034] Another important advantage of the illustrated power supply device 1 is that the components are mostly arranged in a space-saving manner below the bottom 29 of the drawer elements 2, 3, which allows for an inexpensive construction type.
[0035] The cable guide 12 may be attachable to the drawer guide 4 as follows.
[0036] The power supply device 1 may comprise at least one drive 14 to be connected to the drawer guide 4 or drawer element 2, 3, by means of which the drawer rail 7 or the drawer element 2, 3 to be coupled to the drawer rail can be driven relative to the cabinet rail 6, and at least one follower 15 releasably attachable to the drawer guide 4 via at least one interface 16, the follower 15 being configured to cooperate with the drive 14 to transmit the force of the drive 14 to one of the rails of the drawer guide 4 or to the drawer element 2, 3, in which case the cable guide 12 and the follower 15 form a common structural unit releasably attachable to the interface 16 of the drawer guide 4.
[0037] It is conceivable that the interface 16 is arranged on the underside 19 of the cabinet rail 6, which faces downwards in the use position of the drawer guide 4, and / or has at least one locking device 20 and / or suspension device 21 by means of which the common structural unit can be locked and / or suspended on the drawer guide 4.
[0038] In the embodiment shown in Figure 6, a suspension device 21 is provided that can suspend the common structural unit from the cabinet rail 6, and a locking device 20 that can lock this structural unit to the cabinet rail 6 during a rotational movement, preferably around a vertical axis.
[0039] The follower 15 has at least one protruding pin 22 or bolt which can be introduced into an opening 23 in the drive device 14 (see also FIG. 7).
[0040] The common structural unit may include a substantially flat holding metal sheet 24 that is connectable to or connected to the interface 16 of the follower 15, the cable guide 12, and / or the drawer guide 4.
[0041] In this and other illustrated embodiments, the assembly 36 can be assembled to at least one furniture cabinet 5 (shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1 ) as follows: at least one drawer guide 4 is assembled to the furniture cabinet 5 via a cabinet rail 6, preferably to a retaining web 70 of the cabinet rail 6; at least one power take-off device 9, 10, 11 is coupled to a drawer element 2, 3; and at least one drawer element 2, 3 is coupled to a drawer rail 7 of the drawer guide 4.
[0042] Optionally, the following method steps may be provided alone or in combination: releasably attaching at least one follower 15 and at least one cable guide 12 to the interface 16 of the drawer guide 4, connecting at least one drive device 14 to the drawer guide 4 or to the drawer element 2, 3, attaching at least one electrical conductor device 27 against and / or within the bottom opening 28, and / or coupling at least one power take-off device 9, 10, 11 to the drawer element 2, 3 against and / or within and / or above the bottom opening 28 using at least one holding device 30, 31.
[0043] FIG. 7 shows the drive unit 14 in a highly simplified schematic diagram.
[0044] The drive device 14 comprises at least one energy accumulator 17, preferably at least one spring device, and at least one drive element 18 which can be driven by the energy accumulator and which can be connected to the follower 15.
[0045] The drive 14 can be configured as an ejector device for pushing the drawer rail 7 or the drawer element 2, 3 to be connected to the drawer rail 7 relative to the cabinet rail 6 from the closed position towards the open position.
[0046] Alternatively or additionally, the drive device 14 can be configured as a retraction device 71 which cooperates with an actuator 72 .
[0047] In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, both an ejection device 14 and a retraction device 71 are provided, which can be formed modularly or in one common construction unit.
[0048] The cable guide 12 can form a common structural unit together with the follower 15 and / or the actuator 72 .
[0049] 8 to 13 show another embodiment of the conductive device 27. FIG.
[0050] The electrical conducting device 27 has at least one connection point 38 for at least one power cable 13 and / or at least one entraining chain 33, preferably at least one connection point 38 having at least one plug connection 39 and / or arranged in a plane parallel to the bottom 29 of the pull-out element 2, 3.
[0051] The plug-in connection 39 (see FIG. 9) facilitates assembly of the draw-out elements 2, 3, since it allows the draw-out element 2 to be mounted on the draw-out rail 7 before the electrical conductor 27 can be connected to the power cable 13 and / or the entraining chain 33.
[0052] At least one adjustment device 40 is provided that can adjust the position of the connection points 38 relative to the base 42 of the conductive device 27 and / or the spacing 44 of the connection points 38 relative to the underside 45 of the bottom 29 of the pull-out elements 2, 3.
[0053] This has the advantageous technical effect that the conductive device 27 can be adjusted to suit the respective different drawer guides 4. The different drawer guides 4 can differ from one another in their construction height, in particular by the distance between the underside of the cabinet rail 6 and the resting web of the drawer rail 7.
[0054] In the illustrated embodiment, the adjustment device 40 comprises an adjustment screw (see FIG. 9) by which the connection point 38 can be vertically displaced relative to the base 42. To facilitate the adjustment, markings can be provided, for example comprising at least two arrows.
[0055] At least one holding device 30 is provided which is configured to hold the power take-off device 9 against and within an opening 28 provided in the bottom 29 of the drawer element 2, 3, which is oriented horizontally in the use position of the drawer element 2, 3.
[0056] At least one retaining device 30 is arranged or positionable on the conductive device 27, as in the illustrated example, and preferably the retaining device 30 is slidably arranged on the conductive device 27.
[0057] A groove 81 may be provided for slidable support.
[0058] The retaining device 30 can facilitate the assembly of the electrical conductor 27 by retaining the electrical conductor 27 inserted into the bottom opening 28 from above so that it does not slide further downward.
[0059] The holding device 30 comprises at least one holding yoke which is to be connected to the upper surface 55 of the bottom 29 of the drawer element 2, 3, and which can preferably be screwed.
[0060] The holding device 30 is at least partially fork-shaped and at least partially surrounds the bottom opening 28 in the assembled position.
[0061] The power take-off device 9 may be connectable to and / or snap-fittable onto the holding device 30 via at least one locking connection 58 and / or at least one screw connection 59 .
[0062] In the illustrated embodiment, a locking connection 58 is provided which functions between the frame 78 of the power take-off device 9 and the holding device 30. A central body 90, which is arranged inside the frame 78 in the assembled position, can be slipped from above onto the holding device 30 and the bridging device 49 which can be connected to or is connected to this holding device, and can be fixed by means of a snap connection 79.
[0063] The conductive device 27 has at least one holder 47 to be connected, preferably screwed, to the underside 45 of the bottom 29 of the drawer element 2, 3, and a bridging device 49 to be placed in the bottom opening 28, in which case the spacing 51 of the upper surface 52 of the bridging device 49 can be adjusted relative to the holder 47 in order to adapt the conductive device 27 to bottoms 29 of drawer elements 2, 3 of different thicknesses, preferably between 5 mm and 30 mm.
[0064] The bridging device 49 may be slidably supported within and / or against the holder 47. Two different positions of the bridging device 49 relative to the holder 47 are shown in Figures 10 and 12, depending, by way of example, on two different thicknesses 88 of the bottom portion 29.
[0065] To prevent the holder 47, or the base 42 on which the holder 47 is formed, from sliding downwards during assembly, the bridging device 49 can have at least one restraining device 80, for example having a spring-elastic hook.
[0066] On the upper surface 52 of the bridging device 49 there is or can be arranged a counter holder 56 which is to be connected to the upper surface 55 of the bottom 29 of the drawer element 2,3.
[0067] In the illustrated embodiment, the electrical conductor device 27 is fixed to the bottom 29 from below via a holder 47 and from above via a corresponding holder 56, preferably by means of screws.
[0068] For clarity, electrical wiring is not shown in the drawings. Representatively, electrical conductors 83 are shown diagrammatically in Figures 10 and 24, which conductively connect connection points 38 to power take-off devices 9 or plug-in devices 57.
[0069] FIG. 14 shows another embodiment of an assembly 36 with a drawer element 3 formed as a drawer and a power supply device 1 according to another embodiment.
