Erfindungsgemäß sind jeweils eine Rolle, ein Getriebe und ein Elektromotor zu einem als eine Einheit am Sitzmöbel montierbaren Antriebsmodul zusammengefaßt. Die Montage des Antriebs am Sitzmöbel wird hierdurch erheblich vereinfacht. Insbesondere ist es möglich, vorhandene Modellreihen von Ruhe-, Massage- und/oder Fernsehsesseln mit geringem Aufwand nachzurüsten und nachträglich mit einem Fahrantrieb zu versehen.According to the invention, in each case a roller, a gear and an electric motor to a drive module which can be mounted as a unit on the seat summarized. The assembly of the drive on the seat is thereby considerably simplified. In particular, it is possible existing model series of rest, massage and / or TV chairs with little effort retrofit and subsequently provided with a travel drive.
In jedem Antriebsmodul ist das Getriebe zwischen dem Elektromotor und einer Antriebsachse der Rolle angeordnet, wobei die Getriebe jeweils direkt an die Antriebsachsen der Rollen angesetzt sind und jeweils ein Elektromotor und ein Getriebe zu einer kompakten Antriebseinheit zusammengefaßt sind. Auf diese Weise werden besonders kompakte, einfach handhabbare und montierbare Antriebsmodule geschaffen, die jeweils einen Elektromotor, ein Getriebe und eine Rolle umfassen.In each drive module, the transmission between the electric motor and a drive axle of the roller arranged, the gearbox each directly are attached to the drive axles of the rollers and in each case an electric motor and summarized a transmission to a compact drive unit are. In this way are particularly compact, easy to handle and mountable drive modules, each having an electric motor, a gear and a roller include.
Die Getriebe können z.B. jeweils auf die Antriebsachsen der Rollen aufgesteckt werden. Es ist umgekehrt auch möglich, die Rollen jeweils auf eine Abtriebsachse oder -welle der Getriebe aufzustecken.The gears may e.g. each attached to the drive axles of the rollers become. Conversely, it is also possible to change the roles to one Disconnect output shaft or shaft of gearbox.
Ferner umfaßt jedes Antriebsmodul außerdem eine Trägerstruktur, an welcher die Rolle und die den Elektromotor und das Getriebe umfassende Antriebseinheit angebracht sind und über welche das Antriebsmodul am Sitzmöbel befestigt ist. Hierdurch kann das Antriebsmodul getrennt von dem Sitzmöbel zusammengesetzt und zur Montage vorbereitet werden, für die dann lediglich noch die Trägerstruktur am Sitzmöbel zu befestigen ist, um das gesamte Antriebsmodul am Sitzmöbel anzubringen.Furthermore, each drive module also includes a support structure which includes the roller and the electric motor and the transmission Drive unit are mounted and via which the drive module on Seating furniture is attached. This allows the drive module separated from the seating is assembled and prepared for assembly, for which then only the support structure is to be attached to the seating, to attach the entire drive module to the seating.
Dabei sind erfindungsgemäß die Trägerstrukturen jeweils mit einem Seitenteil und/oder mit einem Beschlag des Sitzmöbels verbunden, insbesondere verschraubt. Die Anordnung der Antriebsmodule im Bereich der Seitenteile des Sitzmöbels hat den Vorteil, daß für den Fahrantrieb keine Bauteile im Rückenbereich des Sitzmöbels angeordnet werden müssen. Von Vorteil ist dies insbesondere bei Massagesesseln, bei denen in das Rückenteil Massageeinrichtungen integriert sind.In this case, according to the invention, the carrier structures each have a side part and / or associated with a fitting of the chair, in particular screwed. The arrangement of the drive modules in the area the side parts of the chair has the advantage that for the traction drive no components are arranged in the back of the chair have to. This is particularly advantageous for massage chairs where in the back part massaging devices are integrated.
Ferner sind erfindungsgemäß die Antriebsmodule jeweils derart ausgebildet und am Sitzmöbel anbringbar, daß die Antriebsmodule jeweils in ein Seitenteil des Sitzmöbels integriert und zumindest die Antriebseinheiten durch eine Polsterung des Sitzmöbels verdeckt sind. Das optische Erscheinungsbild des Sitzmöbels wird somit durch die Antriebsmodule in keiner Weise beeinträchtigt.Furthermore, according to the invention, the drive modules are each designed in this way and attachable to the seating, that the drive modules each in a Side part of the seat integrated and at least the drive units by a padding of the chair are covered. The visual appearance of the chair is thus in no way impaired by the drive modules.
Bei Sitzmöbeln in Form von Sesseln, die ein separates Untergestell aufweisen, in das z.B. Beschläge und andere mechanische und/oder elektromechanische Einrichtungen integriert sind, ist es bevorzugt, wenn das Antriebsmodul oder die Antriebsmodule ebenfalls in ein derartiges Untergestell integriert werden. Auch Steuereinrichtungen und Versorgungseinrichtugen für die Antriebsmodule können im Bereich des Untergestells angeordnet werden. For chairs in the form of armchairs, which have a separate base, in the e.g. Fittings and other mechanical and / or electromechanical Facilities are integrated, it is preferred if the drive module or the drive modules also in such a base to get integrated. Also controls and Versorgungsseinrichtugen for the drive modules can be arranged in the area of the undercarriage become.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist eine Steuereinheit vorgesehen, über welche dann, wenn mehrere antreibbare Rollen vorgesehen sind, die Elektromotoren unabhängig voneinander betreibbar sind. Die Möglichkeit, die Elektromotoren unabhängig voneinander anzusteuern, gestattet es, die Rollen mit unterschiedlichen Drehgeschwindigkeiten anzutreiben. Wie bei Kettenfahrzeugen, bei denen eine Änderung der Fahrtrichtung durch unterschiedlich schnell laufende Ketten erzielt wird, läßt sich durch Antreiben der Rollen mit unterschiedlichen Drehgeschwindigkeiten das fahrbare Sitzmöbel lenken. Insbesondere ist es möglich, die Elektromotoren mit unterschiedlichen Polaritäten zu betreiben, so daß sich eine Rolle vorwärts und die andere Rolle rückwärts dreht. Diese ebenfalls bei Kettenfahrzeugen eingesetzte Antriebsmöglichkeit gestattet es, das fahrbare Sitzmöbel auf der Stelle zu drehen und somit auch bei beengten Platzverhältnissen eine Änderung der Fahrtrichtung schnell und einfach zu erzielen. Insbesondere kann das Sitzmöbel hierdurch auf engstem Raum gewendet, also um 180° gedreht werden.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention is a control unit provided, over which then, if several drivable roles are provided, the electric motors independently operable are. The ability to control the electric motors independently, allows the rollers to rotate at different speeds drive. As with tracked vehicles, where a change the direction of travel achieved by chains running at different speeds can be achieved by driving the rollers at different rotational speeds steer the mobile seating. Especially It is possible to use electric motors with different polarities to operate, so that one role forward and the other role turns backwards. This drive also used in tracked vehicles allows the mobile seating to turn on the spot and thus in confined spaces to change the direction of travel quickly and easily. Especially can the seating hereby turned in a confined space, so rotated by 180 °.
Gemäß einem weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist die Steuereinheit mit einer automatischen Anfahr- und/oder Anhaltefunktion versehen, mit der bei einer benutzerinitiierten Fahrgeschwindigkeitsänderung automatisch die Drehgeschwindigkeiten der Rollen mit einer vorbestimmten zeitlichen Verzögerung allmählich auf den vom Benutzer gewünschten Wert bringbar sind. Durch eine derartige Funktion, die bezüglich des Anfahrens auch als "Softstart"-Funktion bezeichnet wird, kann ein störendes ruckartiges Anfahren vermieden werden. According to another preferred embodiment of the invention the control unit with an automatic starting and / or stopping function provided with a user-initiated driving speed change automatically the rotational speeds of the rollers with one predetermined time delay gradually on the user desired value can be brought. By such a function, the also referred to as "soft start" function with respect to startup, a disturbing jerky start can be avoided.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Sitzmöbels sind zwei Rollen vorgesehen, die jeweils in einem der hinteren Eckbereiche des Sitzmöbels angeordnet sind. An den vorderen Eckbereichen sind in diesem Fall beispielsweise herkömmliche Möbelrollen vorgesehen.In a preferred embodiment of the seat according to the invention Two rollers are provided, each in one of the rear corner areas of the chair are arranged. At the front corner areas are in In this case, for example, provided conventional furniture roles.
Es ist auch möglich, die Rollen bzw. die Antriebsmodule an den Seitenteilen weiter vorn, z.B. etwa mittig, anzuordnen und dann zur Abstützung des Sitzmöbels an jedem Eckbereich eine Abstützrolle vorzusehen.It is also possible, the rollers or the drive modules on the side panels further ahead, e.g. approximately in the middle, to arrange and then to support the seat to provide a support roller at each corner.
Des weiteren können die Rollen bzw. die Antriebsmodule auch weiter innen und somit nicht im Bereich der Seitenteile angeordnet werden.Furthermore, the rollers or the drive modules also further inside and thus not be arranged in the area of the side parts.
Grundsätzlich ist es auch möglich, in jedem der vier Eckbereiche des Sitzmöbels jeweils eine antreibbare Rolle anzuordnen. Wenn gemäß der bevorzugten Variante jede dieser Rollen mit einem ihr zugeordneten Elektromotor versehen ist, kann durch individuelles Ansteuern der einzelnen Elektromotoren ein überaus wendiges Sitzmöbel geschaffen werden. Ein weiterer Vorteil eines derartigen "Allradantriebs" ist die Fähigkeit, Hindernisse wie z.B. Türschwellen, Teppichkanten und Hochflor-Teppiche zu überwinden, da keine frei verdrehbaren und leicht zum Blockieren neigenden Möbelrollen benötigt werden.Basically it is also possible in each of the four corner areas of the Seat furniture each to arrange a drivable role. If according to the preferred variant of each of these roles with an associated electric motor can be provided by individually controlling the individual Electric motors are created a very agile seating. One Another advantage of such "four-wheel drive" is the ability to overcome obstacles such as. Doors, carpet edges and high pile carpets too overcome, as no freely rotatable and easily prone to blocking Furniture casters are needed.
Grundsätzlich können bei einem beispielsweise durch zwei oder vier Rollen antreibbaren Sitzmöbel jeweils zumindest zwei Rollen über einen gemeinsamen Elektromotor antreibbar sein, wobei den Rollen ein Differentialgetriebe vorgeschaltet ist. Zur Richtungsänderung können die Rollen dabei lenkbar ausgebildet sein. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, stets in Geradeausfahrt orientierte, unlenkbare Rollen und ein zur Änderung der Fahrtrichtung stufenlos einstellbares Differentialgetriebe vorzusehen.Basically, for example, by Two or four roles drivable chairs each have at least two roles be driven by a common electric motor, the rollers a differential gear is connected upstream. To change direction The roles are designed to be steerable. However, it is also possible Always in straight ahead oriented, unrestricted roles and a change to provide the direction of travel steplessly adjustable differential gear.
Gemäß einer weiteren Variante der Erfindung kann lediglich eine einzige antreibbare Rolle vorgesehen sein, die z.B. im zentralen oder hinteren Bereich des Sitzmöbels mittig angeordnet und lenkbar ausgeführt ist. Auch bei einer derartigen Anordnung wird ein äußerst wendiges fahrbares Sitzmöbel geschaffen. Durch Querstellen der Rolle kann dabei eine Richtungsänderung auf engstem Raum erfolgen.According to another variant of the invention, only a single drivable roller may be provided, e.g. in the central or rear area the chair is centrally located and designed steerable. Also In such an arrangement is a very manoeuvrable mobile seating created. By crossing the role can thereby change direction done in a confined space.
Prinzipiell können die Rollen an einer beliebigen Stelle des Sitzmöbels angeordnet sein. Dabei kann entweder lediglich eine einzige Rolle antreibbar sein, oder es können mehrere, insbesondere zwei oder vier, Rollen mit einem Antrieb versehen sein.In principle, the rollers can be anywhere be arranged of the chair. It can either only a single Role be driven, or it may be several, in particular two or four, rollers be provided with a drive.
Gemäß einer Variante der Erfindung ist eine einzige zentrale, d.h. sowohl bezüglich der Längsrichtung als auch der Querrichtung mittig angeordnete, antreibbare Rolle vorgesehen.According to a variant of the invention, a single central, i. either centered with respect to the longitudinal direction as well as the transverse direction, provided drivable role.
Gemäß einer weiteren möglichen Variante weist das Sitzmöbel vier Rollen auf, die jeweils in einem Eckbereich des Sitzmöbels angeordnet sind, wobei zwei einander diagonal gegenüberliegende Rollen, z.B. die vordere rechte Rolle und die hintere linke Rolle, jeweils mit einem Antrieb versehen sind.According to another possible variant, the seating furniture has four wheels on, which are each arranged in a corner region of the chair, wherein two diagonally opposite rollers, e.g. the front right roller and the rear left roller, each provided with a drive are.
Des weiteren ist es möglich, ausschließlich eine oder mehrere im vorderen Bereich des Sitzmöbels angeordnete Rollen anzutreiben. Auf diese Weise wird ein reiner Vorderantrieb des Sitzmöbels realisiert, mit dem Hindernisse wie beispielsweise Teppichkanten oder Türschwellen problemlos überwunden werden können.Furthermore, it is possible to use only one or more to drive several arranged in the front of the chair rolls. In this way a pure front drive of the chair is realized, with the obstacles such as carpet edges or door sills can be overcome easily.
Jedes Antriebsmodul ist erfindungsgemäß an einem Seitenteil und/oder mit einem Beschlag des Sitzmöbels verbunden, und zwar über eine Trägerstruktur. Dabei kann der Beschalg ein Beschlag zum Verstellen einer Fußstütze oder anderer Bauteile des Sitzmöbels sein.Each drive module is according to the invention on a side part and / or associated with a fitting of the chair, via a support structure. Here, the Beschalg a fitting for adjusting a Footrest or other components of the chair.
In einer weiteren Ausführung der Erfindung ist die oder jede antreibbare Rolle mit einer Federung versehen, die dafür sorgt, daß die jeweilige Rolle in permanentem Kontakt mit dem Boden bleibt. Auf diese Weise wird für eine optimale Bodenhaftung des fahrbaren Sitzmöbels gesorgt.In a further embodiment of the invention, the or each is drivable Roller provided with a suspension, which ensures that the respective role remains in permanent contact with the ground. This way is for optimal traction of the mobile seat ensured.
Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform schlägt vor, jeweils zwischen einem Antriebsmotor und der Antriebsrolle eine Rutschkupplung vorzusehen, die als Überlast- und Transportschutz dient. Beschädigungen der Antriebseinheit, insbesondere des Motors, in Überlastzuständen oder beispielsweise dann, wenn das Sitzmöbel vom Benutzer von Hand verschoben wird, lassen sich auf diese Weise sicher vermeiden.Another preferred embodiment proposes between each a drive motor and the drive roller to provide a slip clutch, which serves as overload and transport protection. Damage to the Drive unit, in particular of the engine, in overload conditions or for example then when the seating is moved by the user by hand can be safely avoided in this way.
Während es grundsätzlich möglich ist, zum Kurvenfahren oder zum Drehen des Sitzmöbels auf der Stelle auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten angeordnete Antriebsrollen mit unterschiedlichem Drehsinn anzutreiben, können alternativ die Antriebsrollen auch stets mit dem gleichen Drehsinn angetrieben, jedoch mit unterschiedlichen Drehzahlen betrieben werden. Zum Kurvenfahren drehen sich die Antriebsrollen also in die gleiche Richtung, jedoch unterschiedlich schnell, wobei im Extremfall eine Antriebsrolle stillsteht, beim Fahren einer scharfen Linkskurve z.B. die oder jede linke Antriebsrolle.While it is basically possible for cornering or to turn the chair on the spot opposite Side arranged drive rollers with different directions of rotation Alternatively, the drive rollers can always be driven with the same Driven rotation, but operated at different speeds become. For cornering, the drive rollers rotate so in the same direction, but at different speeds, in extreme cases a drive roller is stationary when driving a sharp left turn, e.g. the or each left drive roller.

Am Seitenteil 26 ist ein in Fig. 1 lediglich schematisch dargestelltes Bedienteil
48 angebracht, das beispielsweise in die Armlehne integriert sein
kann. Das Bedienteil 48 ist über eine in Fig. 1 gestrichelt dargestellte
Leitung 49 mit der Steuereinheit 28 verbunden. Bei dem Bedienteil 48
kann es sich z.B. um eine separate Einrichtung für den Fahrbetrieb handeln,
die beispielsweise als Steuerhebel in Form eines sog. "Joystick" oder
als mit Richtungstasten versehene Tastatur ausgebildet ist. Es ist auch
möglich, die Bedienung für den Fahrbetrieb in ein vorhandenes Bedienteil
- über das andere Funktionen des Sessels, wie beispielsweise eine
Massageeinrichtung, betätigbar sind - zu integrieren. Hierbei können die
Bedienelemente für den Fahrbetrieb in einem separaten Modul vorgesehen
sein, das mit dem vorhandenen Bedienteil koppelbar ist, indem es beispielsweise
an das vorhandene Bedienteil angesteckt wird.On the

über das Bedienteil 48 und die Steuereinheit 28 ansteuerbar. In Abhängigkeit
von der Größe und der Polarität der an die Elektromotoren 14 angelegten
Spannungen kann ein Geradeausfahrbetrieb in Vorwärtsrichtung
oder Rückwärtsrichtung realisiert werden, können mit dem Sessel beliebig
enge oder weite Kurven gefahren werden, und kann der Sessel auf
der Stelle gedreht werden, wie es in der Beschreibungseinleitung beschrieben
worden ist. Werden lenkbare Rollen eingesetzt, so erfolgt die
Ansteuerung der zum Lenken der Rollen vorgesehenen Lenkeinrichtungen
ebenfalls über die Steuereinheit 28.The

Aus Fig. 3 geht hervor, daß die Antriebsmodule überaus kompakte Baugruppen sind.From Fig. 3 it is apparent that the drive modules exceed compact assemblies are.
Das plattenförmige Trägerelement 22 der Trägerstruktur ist von innen an
das Seitenteil 26 des Sessels geschraubt. Mit dem plattenförmigen Trägerelement
22 wiederum ist ein U-förmig gebogenes Trägerelement 24 verschraubt,
wobei die Verschraubung in Fig. 3 durch den Schaft einer der
Verbindungsschrauben 36 angedeutet ist.The plate-shaped
In dem durch die beiden Trägerelemente 22, 24 gebildeten Zwischenraum
ist eine Rolle oder ein Laufrad 12 angeordnet, deren bzw. dessen in Fig. 3
nicht dargestellte Antriebsachse in entsprechenden Aussparungen der
Trägerelemente 22, 24 gelagert ist, so daß die Rolle 12 beidseitig abgestützt
ist. In the gap formed by the two
Das Getriebe 18 der Antriebseinheit ist an zumindest einer Stelle über eine
Schraube 39 mit einem zylindrischen Ansatz 44 des U-förmigen Trägerelementes
24 verschraubt. Des weiteren ist das Getriebe 18 direkt auf
die Antriebsachse der Rolle 12 aufgesteckt und stützt sich an einem zur
Antriebsachse koaxialen zylindrischen Ansatz 46 des Trägerelementes 24
ab. Der zylinderförmige Elektromotor 14 ist direkt auf das Getriebe 18 gesetzt,
so daß das Getriebe 18 und der Elektromotor 14 eine überaus kompakte
Antriebseinheit bilden.The
