Description

PENDULUM FURNITURE ROCKING KIT

[0001] AREA OF TECHNOLOGY

[0002] The proposed invention relates to the furniture industry and can be used to control rocking devices such as beds and chairs with pendulum mechanisms.

[0003] LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGY

[0004] Various devices for rocking with various actuators for this are known, such as those described in patent documents: CN206137701U (D1), CN215686256U (D2), CN217090143U (D3), CN101015407A (D4), CN106691010A (D5), CN108851766B (D6), KR20210047022A (D7), US2884651A (D8), US3769641A (D9), US5806113A (DYu), US8029377B2 (D11), US8187111B2 (D12), US8307475B2 (D13), US10827851B2 (D14), US9936818B2 (D15), US9955799B2 (D16), US20060207022A1 (D17), W02005096896A1 (D18), W02007056684A2 (D19), W02007056700A1 (D20).

[0005] The devices known from the D1-D20 series have various complex systems and mechanisms for rocking with numerous moving parts, which inevitably impacts reliability and maintainability. Moreover, most of the devices known from the D1-D20 series are not designed for remote or automatic activation.

[0006] A bed with a pendulum mechanism is described in patent document RU2261641C2 (D21). The rocking device described in D21 comprises a support structure, a product, and suspensions connecting the product to the support structure via bearings. The support structure is located beneath the product, and the suspensions pivotally connect the support structure to the product via two axes. One axis connects the support structure to the suspension, and the other axis connects the suspension to the product via bearings. The horizontal projection area of ​​the support structure is smaller than that of the product.

[0007] The pendulum mechanism according to D21 is set in motion by the external influence of the user himself; no actuators are used for swinging.

[0008] A device for rocking a bed is known, described in patent document RU112007U1 (D22). The device for rocking a bed, known from D22, comprises a support structure, a bed, suspensions connecting the bed to the support structure, an electromagnet located on the base of the support structure with a winding connected to the electric current network through a circuit breaker with a control unit, and a metal plate fixed to the bottom of the bed with the ability to interact with an electromagnet, characterized in that the metal plate is offset relative to the electromagnet in the direction of bed swing.

[0009] The device known from D22 is not universal and is not intended for use with any type of pendulum mechanism. It is designed for use only with pendulum mechanisms in which the fixed part is of suitable dimensions, i.e., it fills most of the space beneath the moving part. Furthermore, the device known from D22 is difficult to install and requires special installation skills due to the need for precise positioning of the metal plate and electromagnet (see URL: In addition, using only one electromagnet and one metal plate does not provide the ability to precisely control the movement of the pendulum mechanism.

[0010] Thus, there is a problem of providing a simple to operate and install universal device for driving a pendulum mechanism, which could be used with a pendulum mechanism of any type - both with a transverse pendulum mechanism and with a longitudinal pendulum mechanism.

[0011] The decision on D22 can be taken as the closest analogue.

[0012] DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The technical problem solved by the claimed invention is the creation of a universal device for driving a pendulum mechanism that is easy to install and operate, avoiding the disadvantages of the prior art, and that could be used with both transverse and longitudinal pendulum mechanisms, and that could control the pendulum mechanism with high precision. Another technical problem solved by the claimed invention is the expansion of the arsenal of technical means—devices—for driving pendulum mechanisms.

[0014] The technical result achieved by implementing the claimed invention, in addition to the invention achieving its intended purpose, is the elimination of the disadvantages of analogs and thus ensuring versatility, that is, the possibility of installation on both transverse-type pendulum mechanisms and longitudinal-type pendulum mechanisms, as well as the possibility of simple operation with both transverse-type pendulum mechanisms and longitudinal-type pendulum mechanisms, as well as ensuring ease of installation and operation, and increasing the accuracy of control of the pendulum mechanism.

[0015] The technical result is achieved due to the fact that a set is provided, which includes a chair, equipped with a pendulum mechanism formed by a horizontally placed fixed part, wherein the fixed part is connected, by at least two diagonally located suspensions, to a movable part; and the set contains a device, configured with the possibility of being placed on the pendulum mechanism, for driving the pendulum mechanism, which is a first block, connected by means of a wire connection, configured with the possibility of being placed on the fixed part of the pendulum mechanism, and a second block, configured with the possibility of being placed on the movable part of the pendulum mechanism; wherein, at least the first block contains an electromagnet and the second block contains an electromagnet; wherein one of the blocks contains, at least, a power source for either the elements of the first block or the elements of the second block, and a processor;wherein the first block and the second block are configured to be positioned in such a way as to ensure interaction of their electromagnets, leading to a displacement of the movable part; wherein any of the blocks comprises a transceiver connected to an external control device, configured to receive a control signal for controlling any of the said electromagnets; and the set comprises an external control device for a device for driving a pendulum mechanism, characterized in that it is a control panel equipped with at least an input device and a transmitter configured to transmit a control signal in response to a signal for interaction with the input device to any of the transceivers of the device for driving the pendulum mechanism for controlling any of the electromagnets of the device for driving the pendulum mechanism.

[0073] The following are embodiments of the present invention, revealing examples of its implementation in specific implementations. However, the description itself is not intended to limit the scope of rights granted by this patent. Rather, it should be understood that the claimed invention may also be implemented in other ways that incorporate different elements and conditions, or combinations of elements and conditions similar to those described herein, in combination with other existing and future technologies.

[0074] In Fig. 1, by way of example and not limitation, one exemplary embodiment of a transverse pendulum mechanism 100 known from the prior art is shown in its horizontal projection. Most typically, but not limited to, such a transverse pendulum mechanism 100 is formed by a fixed part 101, most typically, but not limited to, placed on a horizontal surface, and a movable part 102 connected to the fixed part 101 by suspensions 103.

[0075] In Fig. 2, by way of example and not limitation, one exemplary embodiment of a prior art longitudinal pendulum mechanism 200 is shown. Most typically, but not limited to, such longitudinal pendulum mechanism 200 is formed by a fixed part 201, most typically, but not limited to, placed on horizontal surface, and a movable part 202 connected to a fixed part 201 suspensions 203.

[0076] In Fig. 3, by way of example and not limitation, another exemplary embodiment of a possible embodiment of the pendulum mechanism 300 is shown. In another possible embodiment, essentially the same pendulum mechanism is provided as pendulum mechanisms 100 and 200, but the fixed and movable parts are exchanged, so that a fixed part 301 and a movable part 302 are provided. Moreover, although only a transverse pendulum mechanism 300 is shown in the drawing, it should be obvious to a person skilled in the art, having ordinary skill, for whom the present invention is intended, that a longitudinal pendulum mechanism 300 will be provided in a similar manner as was done for the longitudinal pendulum mechanism 200.Thus, without limitation, a transverse or longitudinal pendulum mechanism 300 may be provided, formed by a fixed part 301, most typically, without limitation, placed on a horizontal surface, and a movable part 301 connected to the fixed part 301 by suspensions 303.

[0077] In Fig. 4, by way of example, but not limitation, an exemplary suspension 103, 203, 303 known from the prior art is shown. Such a suspension most typically, without limitation, comprises a fastener 1031, 2031, 3031 in the form of a screw or bolt, or the like, a housing 1032, 2032, 3032 with bearings (not shown in the drawing), and, often, stiffeners (not shown in the drawing); wherein the fastener 1031, 2031, 3031 is provided with a spacer sleeve 1033, 2033, 3033 or one or more nuts 1033, 2033, 3033.

[0078] Most typically, but not limited to, the fixed part 101, 201 for placement on a horizontal surface has at least four supports, such as stands or furniture legs, including those equipped with furniture wheels, or one support, for example, but not limited to, in the form of a furniture box having a rectangular flat bottom of sufficient dimensions to ensure the reliability of the installation of the structure as a whole. The directions of displacement of the movable part 102, 202 are shown by arrows. Most typically, but not limited to, the top of the fixed portion 101, 201 in vertical projection intersects with the bottom of the movable portion 102, 202, due to which the maximum travel of the movable portion 102, 202 is limited by the distance LI, L2; however, without limitation, the travel of the movable portion 102, 202 is often limited by a suspension bearing that ensures the return of the suspension to the neutral position. In this case, it should be obvious to a person skilled in the art, having ordinary qualifications, for whom the present invention is intended, that instead of four suspensions, as shown in Fig. 1, only two diagonally located suspensions may be used, if the suspensions and their fastenings ensure the reliability of the structure as a whole. Moreover, in order to provide a pendulum mechanism, the suspensions may be located on one side of the fixed part 101, 201, and on the opposite side of the fixed part 101, 201, respectively, for example, without limitation, a groove (not shown in the drawing) may be placed, in which the movement of the projection (not shown in the drawing) of the movable part 102, 202 is provided, by which the movable part 102, 202 reliably rests on the fixed part 101, 201.In this case, without limitation, the fixed part 101, 201 does not necessarily rest on a horizontal surface by four points or by one flat surface of sufficient size; for example, without limitation, the fixed part 101, 201 may rest on a horizontal surface by a smaller number of supports, if this ensures sufficient structural reliability. In this case, without limitation, the fixed part 101, 201 often has significantly smaller dimensions than the movable part 102, 202, which is especially characteristic of pendulum mechanisms of children's oval beds and for children's transforming beds, and which does not allow for the placement of a rocking device known from the prior art.Thus, without limitation, it should be primarily assumed that the pendulum mechanism ensures a neutral position and ensures the displacement of the movable part 102, 202, 302 relative to the fixed part 101, 201, 301 by means of suspensions 103, 203, 303; wherein the fixed part 101, 201, 301 is positioned horizontally, and, as a consequence, the movable part 102, 202, 302 is also positioned horizontally. In this case, preferably, without limitation, the pendulum mechanism is a pendulum mechanism of a bed, including a children's bed, or a pendulum mechanism of a chair.

[0079] In Fig. 5, by way of example, but not limitation, an exemplary embodiment of the claimed device 400, 500 is shown. In one embodiment, a device 400 is provided for driving the pendulum mechanism 100, 200, 300, an exemplary diagram of the components of which is shown in Fig. 10, which is a first block 401 connected by a wire connection 403 and placed on a fixed part 101, 201, 301 of the pendulum mechanism 100, 200, 300 and a second block 402 placed on a movable part 102, 202, 302 of the pendulum mechanism 100, 200, 300; wherein at least the first block 401 comprises an electromagnet 4011 and the second block 402 comprises an electromagnet 4021; wherein one of the blocks 401, 402 contains at least a power source 4012, 4022 for the elements of the first block 401 and for the elements of the second block 402 and a processor 4013, 4023; wherein the first block 401 and the second block 402 are arranged in such a way as to ensure interaction of their electromagnets 4011, 4021,leading to the displacement of the movable part 102, 202, 302; wherein, thanks to the wired connection 403, power supply and control of the components of the unit in which the corresponding power source is not implemented are provided, or, at least, control of the corresponding electromagnet 4011, 4021 is provided in order to eliminate possible synchronization errors that may appear when using a wireless connection of the device units. In another embodiment, a device 500 is provided for driving the pendulum mechanism 100, 200, 300, an exemplary diagram of the components of which is shown in Fig. 10, which is a connected first block 501 placed on the fixed part 101, 201, 301 of the pendulum mechanism 100, 200, 300 and a second block 502 placed on the movable part 102, 202, 302 of the pendulum mechanism 100, 200, 300;wherein the first block 501 contains at least a power source 5012 for the elements of the first block 501, a transceiver 5015 of the first block 501, a processor 5013 of the first block 501 and an electromagnet 5011 of the first block 501; wherein the second block 502 contains at least a power source 5022 for the elements of the second block 502, a transceiver 5025 of the second block 502, a processor 5023 of the second block 502 and an electromagnet 5021 of the second block 502; wherein the first block 501 and the second block 502 are arranged in such a way as to ensure interaction of their electromagnets 5011, 5021, leading to displacement of the movable part 102, 202, 302;wherein the first block 501 and the second block 502 are synchronized by means of the mentioned transceivers 5015, 5025 in such a way that when one electromagnet 5011, 5021 is activated, the other electromagnet 5011, 5021 is activated.
