Description
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a furniture or household appliance element.


Such furniture or household appliance elements, such as shelves or racks, in which a body part mounted in a support body so that it can rotate and move in translation at the same time, are known, for example, from DE 10 2019 109 866 A1.


A translation-rotation bearing is used to perform the translation-rotation movement of the body part.


Particularly in the case of larger and/or taller furniture or household appliance elements, such as refrigerators and freezers or wine coolers, it is necessary to provide additional support for the movement of the translational-rotationally movable body part for reasons of stability.


For this purpose, it is known from DE 10 2019 132 207 A1, for example, to arrange a guide bearing between the cover plates of the support body and the body part, with which the translational-rotational movement is additionally guided.


Particularly when a cover support plate is arranged covering both the fixed support body and the translational-rotationally movable body part, it is desirable to precisely define the vertical distance between the cover support plate of the support body and the cover plate of the body part or between the base support plate of the support body and the base plate of the body part in order to keep the desired distances between components of the furniture or household appliance element constant.


Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are directed to preventing the cover support plate or the base plate of the body part from lowering during the translational-rotational movement of the body part, in particular when a first and second body part are arranged side by side in a furniture or household appliance element.


The furniture or household appliance element according to the invention has a support body with a base support plate, a cover support plate, and optionally at least one side wall, as well as a body part that is mounted so as to be simultaneously movable in translation and rotation relative to the support body and has a base plate, a cover plate and at least one side wall.


A guide bearing is arranged between the cover support plate and the cover plate and/or between the base support plate and the base plate.


The guide bearing has at least one guide cam track and a guide element guided in or on the guide cam track, which are arranged on mutually facing surfaces of the cover support plate and the cover plate or the base support plate and the base plate.


Furthermore, the guide bearing has a linear guide with connecting parts that can be displaced relative to one another in a direction of translation, one of which is arranged on the cover support plate or the cover plate and the other of which is mounted on the other of the cover support plate or the cover plate by means of a pivot bearing and/or one connecting part is arranged on the base support plate or the base plate and the other is mounted on the other of the base support plate or the base plate by means of a pivot bearing.


The guide element is designed as a support element supported on or in the guide cam track, whereby the position of the guide element can be variably adjusted perpendicular to the plane of the cover support plate or the base support plate.


By providing such a guide element designed as a support element, it is possible in a simple way to fix the vertical distance between the cover support plate of the support body and the cover plate of the body part or between the base support plate of the support body and the base plate of the body part to a precisely defined dimension.


The variable adjustability makes it possible to compensate for height tolerances of the furniture or household appliance element in particular.


According to a preferred embodiment, the guide element has a roller arranged on a thrust bearing that can roll along the bottom of the guide cam track.


This enables a smooth translational-rotational movement of the body section relative to the support body.


In a preferred further development, the thrust bearing has a thrust bearing receptacle provided with a threaded bolt, onto which a thrust bearing ring can be fitted, to the free end of which, facing away from the threaded bolt, a roller holder is fastened, in which the roller is rotatably mounted.


This ensures reliable support for the guide element.


According to an alternative embodiment, the guide element has a ball that can roll along the bottom of the guide cam track and is spring-mounted in a sleeve.


According to an advantageous further development, this sleeve has an internal thread in which a threaded bolt is accommodated in a rotationally adjustable manner, thus ensuring easy height adjustment.


According to a further alternative embodiment, the guide element has a roller that can roll on a side surface of the guide cam track. The roller is attached to an axle, which is held stationary in a bushing in the direction of its longitudinal axis and rotatable about its longitudinal axis. The bushing can be clamped to the guide bearing and also enables simple height adjustment.


In a preferred further development of this design variant, a clamping lever that fixes the bushing in a clamping position is provided for clamping the bushing.


This clamping lever preferably has a clamping body with a bushing holder that circumferentially encloses the bushing and a lever arm. The guide bearing here has a head piece with two retaining plates aligned parallel to each other with respective recesses in which the bushing is accommodated in a circumferentially guided manner, whereby the clamping lever is accommodated in a receiving space between the retaining plates and, in the clamping position, the clamping body is pressed against a clamping wall of the guide bearing with a partial surface of the wall forming the bushing receptacle bearing frictionally against a partial surface of the outer casing surface of the bushing.


According to a further preferred further development, the axle has a shoulder for fixing the roller in place on the axle.


A bearing is mounted on the axle on the side of the shoulder facing away from the roller. The bearing is designed in particular as a support or ball bearing.


In a special further development, the guide cam track has a running slope for vertical support of the roller.


According to a further preferred embodiment, the linear guide is formed from a pull-out guide, with a guide rail arranged on the cover support plate or the cover plate and/or on the base support plate or the base plate and at least one running rail mounted on it in a displaceable manner, the guide element being fixed to a plate-shaped connecting element of the guide bearing.


The arrangement of the guide element on the connecting element of the guide bearing enables simple assembly.


The connecting element is preferably attached to the at least one running rail of the linear guide.


The guide cam track is preferably connected to the cover plate of the body part and the at least one running rail of the linear guide is connected to the cover support plate of the support body via the connecting plate.


According to a further embodiment, the thrust bearing or the threaded bolt is fixed to the connecting element of the guide bearing.


According to an advantageous further development, the threaded bolt is fixed axially to the threaded bolt in a threaded sleeve arranged on a head piece of the connecting element.


According to a further embodiment, the guide element has a roller that can roll on a side surface of the guide cam track, whereby the roller is attached to an axle that can be clamped in a vertical adjustment in the direction of its longitudinal axis.


This enables simple and precise adjustment of the guide element in the vertical direction depending on the distance between the connecting element and the guide cam track.


According to an advantageous further development, the vertical adjustment has a bearing housing attached to the connecting element, an adjusting body that is accommodated in the bearing housing so as to be vertically displaceable and in which the axis of the guide element is fixed, and a detent lever for latching fixation of the adjusting body relative to the bearing housing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following description of the figures, terms such as top, bottom, left, right, front, rear, etc. refer exclusively to the exemplary representation and position of the furniture element, the support body, the body part, the cover plate, the guide bearing, the guide cam track, the linear guide, the guide element and the like selected in the respective figures. These terms are not to be understood restrictively, i.e. these references can change due to different working positions or the mirror-symmetrical design or the like.


In FIGS. 1 to 4, the reference sign 1 is used to designate a variant of a furniture or household appliance element according to the invention. The furniture or household appliance element 1 shown here as a furniture element has a support body 2 and a body part 3 that is mounted so that it can be moved in translation and rotation at the same time.


In the following, the furniture or household appliance element 1 is referred to as furniture element 1 for short for ease of reading. A corresponding household appliance element, in particular a refrigerator or freezer element or a wine cooler element, can be constructed in the same way as the furniture or household appliance element 1 shown as a furniture element.


The support body 2 has at least one base support plate 21 and one cover support plate 22 as well as at least one side wall 23 connected to the base support plate 21 and the cover support plate 22. The front of the support body 2 is closed here, for example, by a swing door 24.


The body part 3 has at least one base plate 31 and one cover plate 32 as well as at least one side wall 33 connected to the base plate 31 and the cover plate 32, in the embodiment shown here two side walls 33. The side walls are covered on the outside by panels 34. The interior of the body part 3 is subdivided here, by way of example, into a plurality of compartments arranged one above the other by a plurality of shelves 35 fixed to the side walls 33.


The length of the base support plate 21 of the support body 2 extends over the entire surface of the furniture element 1. The same applies to the cover support plate 22, which covers both the upper end of the support body 2 and the upper end of the body part 3, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.


Alternatively, the support body 2 can also be designed as a wall bracket with cover support plate 22 and base support plate 21, for example if the furniture or household appliance element 1 is arranged in a corner or niche of a room. Accordingly, a side wall 23 connecting the cover support plate 22 and base support plate 21 is not necessary in such an embodiment.


As shown in FIG. 4A, a guide bearing 4 is arranged between the cover support plate 22 of the support body 2 and the cover plate 32 of the body part 3. The guide bearing 4 serves to support the translational-rotational movement of the body part 3.


Such a guide bearing 4 can also be arranged between the base support plate 21 and the base plate 31. FIG. 4B shows a view of the furniture element 1 from below with the base support plate 21 and the guide bearing 4 removed.


Alternatively, a translation-rotation fitting 10, shown in part in FIG. 2 as an example, can also be arranged between the base support plate 21 and the base plate 31, as is known, for example, from DE 10 2019 109 866 A1.


As shown in FIGS. 4A to 6, the guide bearing 4 has a guide cam track 5 arranged here on the cover plate 32 of the body part 3 and a guide element 8 arranged on a connecting element 6, which is designed here in the form of a plate and is fastened to the cover support plate 22 of the support body 2, and which projects into the guide cam track 5.


It is also conceivable to attach the guide element 8 directly to the cover support plate 22 of the support body 2.


Furthermore, the guide bearing 4 has a linear guide 7 with connecting parts that can be displaced relative to one another, one of which is arranged on the cover support plate 22 or the cover plate 32 and the other of which is mounted on the other of the cover support plate 22 or the cover plate 32 by means of a pivot bearing 12.


When the guide bearing 4 is arranged in the base area of the body part 3, one connecting part is accordingly arranged on the base support plate 22 or the base plate 32 and the other is mounted on the other of the base support plate 22 or the base plate 32 by means of the pivot bearing 12.


The guide element 8 or the further embodiment example of a guide element 9 explained below is designed as a support element supported on or in the guide cam track 5.


In addition to supporting the translational-rotational movement of the body part 3, the guide element 8, 9 serves to fix the vertical distance between the cover support plate 22 of the support body 2 and the cover plate 32 of the body part 3 or between the base support plate 21 of the support body 2 and the base plate 31 of the body part 3 to an exactly defined dimension in the case of an arrangement of the guide bearing 4 in the bottom area of the body part 3.


The first embodiment of such a guide element 8 shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 has a roller 81 arranged on an thrust bearing and capable of rolling on a base 51 of the guide cam track 5.


The thrust bearing has a thrust bearing receptacle 85 provided with a threaded bolt 851, onto which a thrust bearing ring 84 can be fitted, at the free end of which, facing away from the threaded bolt 851, a roller holder 83 is fastened, here in the form of a pin 854, in which the roller 81 is rotatably mounted.


As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the roller 81 is received via the roller axle 82, which is passed through a central bore 811 of the roller 81, in axle bearings 833 provided for this purpose in legs 831 of the roller holder 83, which are connected to one another via a connecting piece 832.


The roller holder 83 itself is attached to the thrust bearing receptacle 85, preferably rotatably offset with the pin 854 of the thrust bearing receptacle 85.


The thrust bearing or the threaded bolt 851 is preferably fixed to the connecting element 6 of the guide bearing 4. In this case, the thrust bearing receptacle 85 is designed at an end remote from the pin 854 as a threaded bolt 851, which is preferably fixed in a threaded sleeve 64 arranged on a head piece 63 of the connecting element 6 so as to be axially adjustable relative to the threaded bolt 851.


The thrust bearing ring 84 is clamped between a collar 852 of the thrust bearing receptacle 85 and a connecting piece 832 of the roller holder 83, which connects the legs 831 to one another, in order to enable a rotary movement about a longitudinal axis of the thrust bearing receptacle 85 of the roller holder 83. The thrust bearing ring 84 has a receptacle 841 through which a neck piece 853 of the thrust bearing receptacle 85 is passed.


An alternative embodiment of such a guide element is shown in FIGS. 8 and 9.


This embodiment of the guide element 9 also has a threaded bolt 91 which, like the threaded bolt 851 of the embodiment described above, is preferably fixed in a threaded sleeve 64 arranged on the head piece 63 of the connecting element 6 so as to be axially adjustable relative to the threaded bolt 91.


The threaded bolt 91 is screwed into a sleeve 92 with an internal thread 96, at the end of which, at a distance from the threaded bolt 91, a ball 93 is accommodated, which is held by a collar 95 at the lower end of the sleeve 92 so as to project from the sleeve 92 by a predetermined amount. The collar 95 prevents the ball 93 from falling out.


As shown in FIG. 9, a spring element 94 is provided between the end face of the threaded bolt 91 and the ball 93, with which the ball 93 is always pressed out of the sleeve 92 against the threaded bolt 91.


The guide cam track 5 preferably has eyelets 52 on its outer sides for fixing, in particular screwing, the guide cam track 5 to the cover plate 32 or to the base plate 31 of the body part 3.


Similarly, eyelets 62 are formed on the side of the connecting element 6 on a main body 61, to which the running rails 72 of the linear guide 7 are attached in the example shown in FIG. 5, which are used for fixing, in particular screwing, to the cover support plate 22 or base support plate 21.


The guide rail 71 of the linear guide 7 is rotatably mounted on a pivot bearing 12.


The pivot bearing 12 has a pivot pin that is arranged on a circular mounting plate 11, which is attached to the cover plate 32 or base plate 31 of the body part 3. The circular shape serves to distribute forces over as large an area as possible. Other designs are also conceivable.


The axis of rotation of the pivot bearing 12 is mounted in a pivot axis bearing (not shown) provided for this purpose on the underside of the guide rail 71 of the linear guide 7 in order to enable the translational-rotational movement of the body part 3 relative to the support body 2.


The pivot axis can also be axially adjustable or telescopically mounted in the pivot axis bearing. This ensures that the entire guide bearing 4 is evenly supported.



FIGS. 10 to 18 show two further preferred embodiments of guide elements 180, 190, in which the guide element 180, 190 has a roller 181, 191 that can roll on a side surface 53 of the guide cam track 5. The roller 181, 191 is attached here to an axle 182, 192 extending in the z-direction, preferably at one end of the axle 182, 192.


The axle 182, 192 is thereby held stationary in the direction of its longitudinal axis and rotatable about its longitudinal axis in a bushing 184, 194 surrounding the axle 182, 192 in the region of an upper section remote from the roller, for example with the aid of a disc 186, 196 attached to the upper end of the axle 182, 192 and resting on an end edge of the bushing 184, 194, as shown in FIGS. 10, 11 and 17, in order to enable a free rotary movement of the roller 181, 191 about the longitudinal axis of the axle 182, 192.


The bushing 184, 194 itself can be clamped to the guide bearing 4. A clamping lever 13 fixing the bushing 184, 194 in a clamping position is preferably provided for clamping fixation of the bushing 184, 194.


This clamping lever 13 preferably has, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 18, a clamping body 131 with a bushing receptacle 133 circumferentially enclosing the bushing 184, 194 and a lever arm 132.


The guide bearing 4, here preferably a section of a connecting element 160, similar to the connecting element 6 of the guide bearing 4 described further above, has a head piece 163 arranged on a main body 161 of the connecting element 160 and having two retaining plates 164 aligned parallel to one another with respective preferably circular recesses 166, in which the bushing 184, 194 is accommodated in a circumferentially guided manner.


The clamping lever 13 is accommodated in a receiving space 165 between the retaining plates 164.


In the clamping position of the clamping lever 13 shown in FIGS. 11 and 14 to 17, the clamping body 131 is pressed against a clamping wall 167 of the guide bearing 4. Due to an eccentric arrangement of the bushing receptacle 133 relative to the lateral surface of the clamping body 131, the clamping body 131 is displaced in the horizontal plane such that the bushing receptacle 133 is no longer coaxial with the guide bearing 4, that the bushing receptacle 133 is no longer aligned coaxially with the recesses 166 of the retaining plates 164 and, as a result, a partial surface of the wall forming the bushing receptacle 133 is in frictional contact with a partial surface of the outer surface of the sleeve of the bushing 184, 194 and the bushing 184, 194 and thus the roller 181, 191 fixed in the z-direction in the bushing 184, 194 is fixed in the z-direction.


In order to change the positioning of the roller 181, 191 in the z-direction, the clamping lever 13 can be rotated by actuating the lever arm so that the bushing receptacle 133 is aligned coaxially with the recesses 166 of the retaining plates 164 and the frictional connection between the wall forming the bushing receptacle 133 and the partial surface of the outer surface of the sleeve of the bushing 184, 194 is thereby eliminated.


The axle 182, 192 preferably has a shoulder 183, 193 for fixing the position of the roller 181, 191.


On the side of the shoulder 183, 193 facing away from the roller 181, 191, a bearing 185, 195 is mounted on the axle 182, 192.


In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 to 16, this bearing is designed as a support which is supported on the upper edges of the guide cam track 5 in the z-direction.


In the alternative embodiment shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, this bearing is designed as a ball bearing. In this embodiment variant, the outer surface of the roller is preferably formed with a chamfer which rests on a corresponding running slope 54 of the guide cam track 5 in the vertical, i.e., z-direction, so that the roller 191 is supported here in the z-direction on the running slope 54.



FIGS. 19-26 show a preferred embodiment of a vertical adjustment 210 for a guide element 290 similar to the guide element 190.


The guide element 290 also has here a roller 291 which can be rolled along a side surface 53 of the guide cam track 5 and which is attached to an axle 292 extending in the z-direction, preferably at one end of the axle 292.


The axle 292 also preferably has a first shoulder 293 for fixing the roller 291 in position at or near a first end of the axle 292. Above or on the side of the shoulder 293 facing away from the roller 291, a bearing 295 is also mounted here on the axle 292. The bearing 295 itself is also preferably designed here as a ball bearing.


In order to be able to variably adjust the guide element 290 in the z-direction to a distance between the main body 261 of the connecting element 260 and the guide cam track 5, the axle 292 with the roller 291 rotatably fixed thereto and the bearing 295 rotatably fixed to the axle 292 is variably held in the vertical adjustment 210 in the z-direction.


For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 20, the vertical adjustment 210 has a bearing housing 220 attached to the connecting element 260. The bearing housing 220 is preferably fixed with screws 266 in the region of the head piece 263 of the connecting element 260. For this purpose, screw receptacles 264 are provided in the head piece 263 of the connecting element 260, into which preferably conically shaped heads of the screws 266 can be countersunk.


The bearing housing 220 has a preferably approximately cuboidal adjusting body receptacle 221 for receiving an adjusting body 230.


The adjusting body 230 has a retaining body 231 for mounting the axle 292 of the guide element 290. For fixing in the z-direction, as can be seen in FIG. 20, a second shoulder 296 is arranged on the axle 292 above the first shoulder 293, which, as can be seen in FIGS. 21 to 24, prevents the axle 292 from slipping through a hole in the base of the retaining body 231 in the direction of the guide cam track 5.


As can be seen further in FIGS. 21 to 24, an upper side of the bearing 295 facing away from the roller 291 rests against an underside of the retaining body 231.


The adjusting body 230 is spring-loaded in the z-direction in the bearing housing 220.


For this purpose, as shown in FIGS. 20 to 24, a spring element 294, designed here as a helical compression spring, is slipped over the axle 292 of the guide element 290.


A lower end of the spring element 294 is supported on the base of the retaining body 231. An upper end of the spring element 294 is supported on a cover 250, which is positively engaged in a recess provided for this purpose in the bearing housing 220 and (in FIGS. 21 to 24) bears upwards against an underside of the head piece 263 of the connecting element 260.


To guide the axle 292 of the connecting element 260, the cover 250 has an axle receptacle 251, through which an upper end of the axle 292 remote from the roller 291 is received.


Preferably, the head piece 263 of the connecting element 260 is also provided with an axle receptacle 265, here designed as a bore, into which a neck of the axle receptacle 251 of the cover 250 protruding into the axle receptacle 265 projects.


To adjust the position of the connecting element 260 in the z-direction, the adjusting body 230 has a toothing 232, which is preferably formed integrally with the retaining body 231 and which engages with a toothing 243 of a detent lever 240 when the guide element 290 or adjusting body 230 is fixed in the z-direction.


The detent lever 240 of this embodiment essentially comprises a bearing bolt 241 and a lever arm 242 projecting radially from the bearing bolt 241 as well as the toothing 243, which is formed on an angled segment of the bearing bolt 241, as shown, for example, in FIG. 21.


The bearing bolt 241 serves to fix the detent lever 240, which can be rotated about the z-axis, on the one hand in a bearing bolt receptacle 252 of the cover 250, which is provided for this purpose, and on the other hand on the bearing bolt receptacle 223 of the bearing housing 220, which is provided for this purpose.


The detent lever 240 can thus be rotated from a release position releasing the adjusting body 230 in the z-direction, as shown by way of example in FIG. 21, into a fixed position shown in FIGS. 22 to 24 by rotating the detent lever 240 with the aid of the lever arm 242, wherein in the fixed position the toothing 232 of the adjusting body 230 engages with the toothing 243 of the detent lever 240 and thus prevents displacement of the adjusting body 230 and thus of the guide element 290.


While FIG. 22 shows a central position of the adjusting body 230 relative to the bearing housing 220, FIG. 23 shows a maximum downwardly displaced position of the adjusting body 230 relative to the bearing housing 220.


This maximum position is defined by a radially outwardly projecting web 233 on the upper edge of the retaining body 231, this web 233 resting on a shoulder provided for this purpose on the base or near a base of the bearing housing 220 when the adjusting body 230 is in the maximum downwardly pushed position.



FIG. 24 shows a maximum upwardly displaced position of the adjusting body 230 relative to the bearing housing 220.


This maximum position is defined by striking the upper end of the retaining body 231 against the underside of the cover 250.



FIG. 25 once again shows the guide element 290 received in the vertical adjustment 210 in the fixing position of the detent lever 240 as an isometric individual representation.


Accordingly, FIG. 26 shows the guide element 290 received in the vertical adjustment 210 with detent lever 240 in the open position, in which the adjusting body 230 can be displaced in the z-direction together with the guide element 290.


As further shown in FIG. 26, an elevation 253 is formed on a surface of the cover 250 facing the detent lever 240, which serves to fix the detent lever 240 in the fixing position. The elevation is positioned in such a way that the lever arm 242 cannot be moved out of its fixing position shown in FIG. 25 without exerting force.


Although the invention has been illustrated and described in detail by way of preferred embodiments, the invention is not limited by the examples disclosed, and other variations can be derived from these by the person skilled in the art without leaving the scope of the invention.
