Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Möbelschublade, die in einem Möbelkorpus ausziehbar lagerbar ist und ein Möbel mit mindestens einer ausziehbaren Möbelschublade.The invention relates to a furniture drawer that can be pulled out in a furniture body is storable and a piece of furniture with at least one pull-out furniture drawer.

Um ständige Leitungen in Form von elektrischen Kabeln vom Möbelkorpus zur Schublade zu vermeiden, ist eine Möbelschublade vorgesehen, die gekennzeichnet ist durch eine Einrichtung zur Übertragung von elektrischer Energie an mindestens einen in bzw. an der Schublade angeordneten, aufladbaren Stromspeicher.To permanent cables in the form of electrical cables from the furniture body to To avoid drawer, a furniture drawer is provided, which is marked by means for transmitting electrical energy to at least one arranged in or on the drawer, rechargeable power storage.

Mittels solcher aufladbarer Stromspeicher ist es möglich, für die Schublade bzw. darin befindliche elektrische Geräte, vorzugsweise Haushaltsgeräte, eine autonome Energieversorgung bereitzustellen, wobei vorzugsweise nur bei geschlossener Schublade eine elektrische Energieübertragung zur Aufladung der aufladbaren Stromspeicher erfolgt. Bei ausgezogener Schublade können dann die aufgeladenen Stromspeicher elektrische Verbraucher, wie beispielsweise Lampen oder Antriebsmotoren, versorgen bzw. in der Schublade befindliche, bei geschlossener Schublade aufgeladene Haushaltsgeräte entnommen werden.By means of such rechargeable power storage devices, it is possible for the drawer or in it located electrical devices, preferably household appliances, an autonomous To provide energy supply, preferably only when closed Drawer an electrical energy transfer to charge the rechargeable Electricity storage takes place. When the drawer is pulled out, the loaded ones can then Electricity storage electrical consumers, such as lamps or Drive motors, supply or in the drawer, when closed Drawer charged household appliances can be removed.

Zur Realisierung einer solchen Einrichtung zur Übertragung elektrischer Energie ist bevorzugt an der Schubladenhinterwand ein berührungsloser Übertrager, vorzugsweise ein induktiver Koppler oder ein Steckkontakt vorgesehen, der bei geschlossener Schublade automatisch mit einem korpusseitigen Kontakt in Verbindung tritt. Die Stromversorgung erfolgt beispielsweise vom üblichen Wechselstromnetz aus über einen Transformator, der im Bereich der Schublade einen für den Menschen ungefährlichen Niedervoltbereich vorzugsweise unter 25 Volt herstellt.To implement such a device for the transmission of electrical energy preferably a contactless transformer on the rear wall of the drawer, preferably an inductive coupler or a plug contact is provided, which at closed drawer automatically connected to a body-side contact occurs. Power is supplied, for example, from the usual AC network via a transformer, one in the drawer area for humans harmless low-voltage range, preferably below 25 volts.

Die genannten elektrischen induktiven Übertrager sind an sich bereits bekannt, beispielsweise bei elektrischen Zahnbürsten, und brauchen daher nicht näher beschrieben werden.The electrical inductive transmitters mentioned are already known per se. for example with electric toothbrushes, and therefore do not need closer to be discribed.

Die aufladbaren Stromspeicher können platzgünstig in der Schubladenwand bzw. im Schubladenboden eingebaut bzw. integriert sein. The rechargeable power storage can be space-saving in the drawer wall or in Drawer bottom installed or integrated.

Es ist aber auch möglich, die üblicherweise metallischen Führungsschienen zur Stromübertragung in die Schublade zu verwenden, wobei dabei günstigerweise Schleifkontakte vorgesehen sind, um die korpusseitige Führungsschiene, die mit einer Stromquelle verbunden ist, mit der schubladenseitigen Führungsschiene zu verbinden.However, it is also possible to use the usually metallic guide rails to use for power transmission in the drawer, taking Conveniently sliding contacts are provided to the body side Guide rail, which is connected to a power source, with the drawer side To connect the guide rail.

Bei Verwendung solcher elektrischer Führungsschienen können Kabel vermieden werden. Weil hier eine ständige Stromzufuhr in die Schublade in jeder Stellung möglich ist, ist bei dieser Variante der Erfindung auch ein wiederaufladbarer Stromspeicher grundsätzlich nicht nötig.When using such electrical guide rails, cables can be avoided become. Because here a constant power supply in the drawer is possible in every position is, this variant of the invention is also a rechargeable power storage basically not necessary.

Vielmehr können elektrische Verbraucher wie beispielsweise Lampen oder Motoren ständig auch direkt versorgt werden. Natürlich können über solche elektrifizierten Führungsschienen auch Haushaltsgeräte im Inneren der Schublade, die einen Akku aufweisen, geladen werden.Rather, electrical consumers such as lamps or motors can are always supplied directly. Of course, such electrified Guide rails also include household appliances inside the drawer that hold a battery have loaded.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ergibt sich dadurch, daß mindestens eine Lichtquelle als Leuchtdiode (LED) ausgeführt ist. Leuchtdioden vereinen eine kompakte Bauweise mit einer guten Lichtausbeute bei geringem Strombedarf.A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention results from that at least one light source is designed as a light emitting diode (LED). LEDs combine a compact design with a good light output at low Power requirements.

Neben der Versorgung aus dem üblichen Stromnetz ist gemäß einer weiteren Variante der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß an der Schublade bzw. am Möbelkorpus eine Solarzelle vorgesehen ist. Über eine solche ist kostengünstig und vor allem ohne die Notwendigkeit einer Netzverbindung eine Stromversorgung von elektrischen Verbraucher in bzw. an der Schublade möglich, wobei bevorzugt ein wiederaufladbarer Stromspeicher vorgesehen ist, der über die Solarzelle und einen entsprechenden Laderegler geladen wird.In addition to the supply from the usual power grid, according to another variant the invention provided that on the drawer or on the furniture body Solar cell is provided. Such is inexpensive and especially without that Need a network connection to provide electrical power Consumers in or on the drawer possible, preferably a rechargeable Electricity storage is provided, via the solar cell and a corresponding one Charge controller is loaded.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ergibt sich dadurch, daß mindestens ein Stromspeicher eine aufladbare Batterie ist. Solche aufladbaren Batterien sind in vielen verschiedenen Ausführungsformen erhältlich, sodaß abhängig vom voraussichtlichen Strombedarf und des zur Verfügung stehenden Platzes eine geeignete aufladbare Batterie gewählt werden kann. A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention results from the fact that at least one power store is a rechargeable battery. Such rechargeable Batteries are available in many different designs, so depending of the expected electricity demand and the available space suitable rechargeable battery can be selected.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ergibt sich dadurch, daß mindestens ein aufladbarer Stromspeicher ein Kondensator ist. Auch nach längerer Benutzung ist bei einem Kondensator so gut wie keine Abnahme des Speichervermögens festzustellen, da z.B. anders als bei Akkumulatoren keine das Speichervermögen reduzierende Memoryeffekte auftreten.Another advantageous embodiment of the invention results from the fact that at least one rechargeable power store is a capacitor. Even after a long time Use with a capacitor is virtually no decrease in Storage capacity, e.g. unlike accumulators, none of that Memory-reducing memory effects occur.

You can For example, be attached to the back of the drawer and similar to opening switch on the lighting on a refrigerator door. The supply via the solar cell 7 or the public power grid can alternatively or simultaneously be provided, with electronics not shown in the absence of light for the solar cell uses the public power grid. This can save energy. at low electrical consumption, however, the solar cell alone can be sufficient.

    Bei dem in den Fig. 2a, 2b und 2c dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die wiederaufladbare Batterie 3 im Schubladenboden 11 integriert. Die Einrichtung zur Übertragung von elektrischer Energie besteht hier aus einem zweiteilig ausgeführten induktiven Koppler 12a, 12b, der bei geschlossener Schublade eine elektrische Energieübertragung erlaubt und damit über die Leitung 13 den Akku aufladen kann. Die Stromversorgung von außen erfolgt über die Leitung 10, beispielsweise vom öffentlichen Stromnetz aus, über einen Transformator oder von einer Solarzelle. Der induktive Koppler selbst erlaubt eine berührungslose elektrische Übertragung und ist, wie bereits erwähnt, beispielsweise bei elektrischen Zahnbürsten bereits bekannt. Er ist auch bei vielfachem Öffnen und Schließen der Schublade absolut verschleißarm. Bei ausgezogener Schublade, wie in Fig. 2, ist die Schublade von der Leitung 10 getrennt. Die Stromversorgung von hier nicht näher dargestellten Verbrauchern, beispielsweise Lampen, Antriebsmotoren oder dergleichen, erfolgt dann über den aufgeladenen Akku 3.In the embodiment shown in Figs. 2a, 2b and 2c is the Rechargeable battery 3 integrated in the drawer base 11. The facility for Transmission of electrical energy here consists of a two-part inductive coupler 12a, 12b, which is an electrical one when the drawer is closed Energy transfer allowed and thus can charge the battery via line 13. The power supply from the outside takes place via line 10, for example from from the public power grid, via a transformer or from a solar cell. The inductive coupler itself allows contactless electrical transmission and is, as already mentioned, for example in the case of electric toothbrushes. It is absolutely wear-resistant even when the drawer is opened and closed many times. When the drawer is pulled out, as in FIG. 2, the drawer is from the line 10 Cut.

This carries a pinion 25, which in a rack 26 on the body-side rail engages and thus enables the drawer to be driven. The usual rollers or sliders between the body-side guide rail 27 and the shop-side guide rail 28 are not shown for the sake of simplicity. They correspond to today's industry standard. The one shown in FIG. 7 The embodiment thus results in an autonomously driven, self-propelled Drawer without disturbing moving cables for the power supply to the drive motor 24.

    Bei dem in Fig. 8 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die korpusseitig befestigte Führungsschiene 27 an der Stelle 29 mit der Versorgungsleitung 10 (Pluspol) elektrisch kontaktiert. Von der Schublade 2 ist der Boden 11 und die Seitenwand 4a auf einer Seite dargestellt. Mit der Schublade verbunden ist die schubladenseitige Führungsschiene 28, die über stark schematisch dargestellte Rollen, Wälzlager oder Gleitlager 30 gegenüber der Ladenschiene 27 ausziehbar ist. Um nun ständig einen elektrischen Kontakt zwischen der kontaktierten korpusseitigen Führungsschiene 27 und der schubladenseitigen Führungsschiene 28 herzustellen, ist ein Schleifkontakt 31 vorgesehen, der in jeder Auszugsstellung, insbesondere auch bei geschlossener Schublade, einen Kontakt zum Inneren der Schublade herstellt. Über den Kontaktpunkt 29' und das Kabel 21 kann die wiederaufladbare Batterie 3 geladen werden. Diese kann natürlich auch platzgünstig im Schubladenboden 11 integriert sein. Der andere Pol wird über die Leitung 21' über das rechte, hier nicht dargestellte analoge System an Führungsschienen ständig kontaktiert. Bei einem solchen System kann natürlich der wiederaufladbare Stromspeicher auch entfallen, da es dabei möglich ist, in jeder Auszugsstellung eine elektrische Versorgung der Schublade bzw. der darin oder daran angebrachten Verbraucher zu garantieren. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 8, the body side is attached Guide rail 27 at point 29 with the supply line 10 (positive pole) electrically contacted.
