CA 2684898

A material handling system (10) has a vacuum cup assembly (14) engagable with an object (20) and movable to move the object using a pressurized air source (12), a vacuum cup (16), a venturi device (18) and a vacuum valve (24) and auto-release valve (26). The venturi device (18) is in fluid communication with the vacuum cup (16) and connected to the supply line (28) so that pressurized air can be supplied to and through said venturi device to generate a partial vacuum when the perimeter seal of the vacuum cup is engaged with the object surface. The vacuum valve (24) may open and close the supply line at a location upstream of the venturi device in response to a pressure level at the vacuum cup cavity. The auto-release valve (26) may vent the vacuum cup cavity to atmosphere in response to reduced pressure in the supply line at a location upstream from the vacuum valve (24).

L'invention concerne un système de manipulation de matériaux (10) doté d'un groupe de ventouses (14) pouvant adhérer à un objet (20) et étant mobile afin de déplacer ledit objet à l'aide d'une source d'air comprimé (12), d'une ventouse (16), d'un diffuseur (18), d'un clapet de dépression (24) et d'un clapet à déclenchement automatique (26). Le diffuseur (18) est relié à la ventouse (16) par un fluide et à la conduite d'alimentation (28) de manière à ce que l'air comprimé puisse alimenter et traverser ledit diffuseur afin de générer un vide partiel lorsque le scellement du périmètre de la ventouse adhère à la surface de l'objet. Le clapet de dépression (24) peut ouvrir et fermer la conduite d'alimentation à un endroit en amont du diffuseur en réponse au niveau de pression de la cavité de la ventouse. Le clapet à déclenchement automatique (26) peut tirer l'air de la cavité de la ventouse en direction de l'atmosphère en réponse à la réduction de la pression dans la conduite d'alimentation à un endroit en amont du clapet de dépression (24).
