- FIG. 6 shows a schematic perspective view of a further embodiment of a handling device 1 according to the invention. Like the embodiment of Figures 1 to 3, the embodiment of Figure 6 has four boom arms 3, each with two suction heads 6. The suction heads 6 are still at a central
- the Flange section 4 is held.
- the central flange portion 4 has inputs 1 1 to cancel a trained by vacuum fixation between the Saufgropfen 6 and an intermediate layer (not shown). Compressed air is introduced into the central flange section 4 via the connection 12.
- the extension arms 3 are through in
- Substantially rigid hollow tubes 5 are formed and each point away from the central flange section 4.
- Cantilever arms 3 and hollow tubes 5, the suction cups 6 and possibly the adhering to the suction cups 6 by means of negative pressure intermediate layer is supported by the support 7 designed as a support 7 suspension. Between the support column 9 and the central flange 4 a rotationally fixed coupling is provided.
- Handling device 1 can also be produced in the embodiment of Figure 6 by means of a three-dimensional printing process.
- the central flange portion 4 of Figure 6 is formed by sintering. Since the central flange section 4 according to the embodiment of Figure 6 has a conduit system 15 (see Figure 8), can be dispensed with direct hose connections for passing a negative pressure to the suction cups 6.
- FIG. 7 shows a schematic perspective view of the central one
- Flange portion 4 of Figure 7 has for each of the boom arms 3 and hollow tubes 5 has its own output 17, of which in Figure 7, two outputs 17 can be seen.
- the central flange section 4 has openings 33, via which compressed air emerges from the central flange section 4.
- Each opening 33 is associated with a thread 27.
- a respective muffler can be screwed onto the central flange 4, to a noise level via the Terminal 12 to reduce introduced into the central flange 4 compressed air.
- the line system 15 (see FIG. 8) fluidly connects the connection 12 and the openings 33.
- the corresponding silencers which can be fastened by means of the threads 27 on the central flange section 4, are not shown in the figures of the present patent application.
- the threads 27 and the openings 33 may together with the central
- Flange section are produced in a three-dimensional printing process.
- Figure 8 shows a schematic sectional view through the central
- Vacuum generating device 30 can be constructed by means of Venturi effect, a negative pressure in the pipe system 15, which is transmitted via the outputs 17 to the suction cups 6.
- compressed air is introduced into the line system 15 via the connection 12, which passes through the vacuum generating device 30 and exits via the openings 33 from the central flange section 4.
- Each opening 33 has its own thread 27, via which a respective muffler can be screwed onto the central flange section 4.
- Flange portion 4 of Figure 8 is therefore interchangeable or as a detachable
- Vacuum generating device 30 is subject to wear, it can be removed via the respective opening 33 and / or the output 17 from the central flange 4. A further vacuum generating device 30 can subsequently be inserted or inserted via the opening 33 or via the outlet 17 into the central flange section 4.
- Figure 9 shows a sectional view through another central
- the central flange section 4 according to FIG. 9 can be produced in a three-dimensional printing process or be manufactured by sintering. Like the embodiment of FIG. 8, the central flange section 4 of the embodiment of FIG. 9 has a port 12, four outlets 17 through which a negative pressure can be transmitted to the suction heads 6 and 1 Further, two openings 33 which are in fluid communication with the conduit system 15 and via which compressed air from the central flange portion 4 can be performed. Each opening 33 is associated with a thread 27 to fix a respective muffler to the central flange portion 4.
- the negative pressure generating device 30 is fixed to the central
- Flange portion 4 is connected and manufactured together with the central flange 4 in three-dimensional printing or by sintering.
- Venturi nozzles 25 can be seen as part of the vacuum generating means 30 to generate from a through the port 12 introduced into the conduit system 15 overpressure in each case a negative pressure.
- the vacuum generating means 30 and the Venturi nozzles 25 are formed as a non-detachable component of the central flange portion 4.
