Flap drive system

摘要

The invention relates to a flap drive system for a flap which is movably mounted on a furniture carcass. The flap drive system is arranged on a sidewall of the furniture carcass. The flap drive system includes a mechanical actuating unit having an actuating arm that can be connected to the flap and an accumulator acting upon the actuating arm, and an electric drive, fastened on the mechanical actuating unit for driving the flap. The electric drive has at least one electric motor, and a gear stage which allows the transmission of force from the electric drive onto the mechanical actuating unit. The gear stage is designed as a separate component, and has a housing that is independent from the mechanical actuating unit and the electric drive or an independent mounting plate.

主权项

1. A flap drive device comprising:
a mechanical actuating unit including an actuating arm to be connected to a movable flap of an article of furniture, and a force storage member acting on said actuating arm, said mechanical actuating unit having a planar mounting surface; an electric drive linked to said mechanical actuating unit for driving said actuating arm to move the flap, said electric drive having an electric motor and a planar mounting surface; and a plate-shaped transmission stage for transmitting force from said electric drive to said mechanical actuating unit, said transmission stage comprising a self-contained housing independent of said mechanical actuating unit and said electric drive, said transmission stage having a first planar mounting surface mounted to said planar mounting surface of said mechanical actuating unit so that said first planar mounting surface and said planar mounting surface of said mechanical actuating unit bear flat against each other, and having a second planar mounting surface mounted to said planar mounting surface of said electric drive so that said second planar mounting surface and said planar mounting surface of said electric drive bear flat against each other, said first planar mounting surface and said second planar mounting surface being substantially parallel.
