Definitions
- the present invention relates generally in particular to gripping systems based on vacuum technology for the dynamic handling of objects.
- the invention relates in particular to vacuum lifting devices and corresponding devices for controlling the function of vacuum lifting devices.
- Vacuum lifting devices are required to lift and hold objects (workpieces) with the aid of a vacuum.
- the lifting process is made possible by a variable-length suction hose, for example a spiral hose, which is sometimes referred to as a "lifting hose".
- a load-handling device is attached, which mainly works with a vacuum, but can also be mechanical.
- the air contained in the vacuum suction cup and lifting hose is evacuated, the lifting hose contracts like an accordion so that the workpiece adheres to the vacuum suction cup and can finally be lifted. If the vacuum drops, the load is lowered again.
- the vacuum is generated either by a side channel compressor, a vacuum pump or a multi-chamber ejector (Venturi nozzle).
- the manual control of the tube lifter is done with the help of a loading part that is attached to the lower end of the tube lifter. With this, the suction, lifting, lowering and subsequent release of the load is controlled with one hand.
- Such controls for vacuum lifting devices are generally known in principle from the prior art.
- a valve for a vacuum lifting device is known with which the lifting tube can be ventilated so that the sucked-in object can be set down and released.
- the present invention is based on the object of specifying a solution with which a vacuum lifting device can be operated particularly ergonomically, in particular a compact construction of the vacuum lifting device is desired.
- the invention relates in particular to a device for controlling the function of a vacuum lifting device, the device having an in particular special nozzle-shaped manifold block with a first connection and a second connection, wherein a first flow channel is formed in the manifold block, via which a First valve device, if necessary, the first connection can be connected to the second connection in terms of flow. It is also provided that a second flow channel is formed in the distributor block, via which the first connection can be flow-connected to the outside atmosphere with the aid of a second valve device, if necessary. In addition, it is provided according to the invention that a further, third flow channel is formed in the distributor block, via which the second connection can be flow-connected to the outside atmosphere with the aid of a third valve device, if necessary.

- the modular structure of the manifold block allows it to be used for various vacuum lifting devices.

- the essentially tubular or socket-shaped body preferably has an outer diameter which at least essentially corresponds to the inner diameter of the variable-length suction hose of the vacuum lifting device. In this way, it is possible for the entire distributor block to be integrated within the variable-length suction hose. This leads to a particularly compact, low-maintenance and reliable vacuum Hebevor direction, since all valve devices are effectively protected from external influences (pollution, moisture, etc.).
- the distributor block can have a first connection area pointing radially from the distributor block or protruding from the distributor block for preferably releasable connection of the first valve device, a second connection region pointing radially from the distributor block or protruding from the distributor block for the preferably detachable connection of the second valve device, as well as an orifice pointing radially from the distributor block protruding third connection area for preferably detachable connection of the third valve device.

- the first, second and third valve devices each have at least one valve, in particular a throttle valve, this at least one valve preferably being an electromotive valve with a valve drive or an electromagnetically operated valve.
- the valve devices can be actuated particularly precisely and without mechanical effort, which enables ergonomic and fluid lifting and transferring of loads, e.g. Cardboard boxes, sacks, wooden and plastic sheets, sheet metal or glass panes, in a wide variety of industries. Lifting and suction is done in one go in the simplest possible way, which results in a pleasant working rhythm.
- the first flow channel connecting the first connection to the second connection in terms of flow runs at least in some areas along the longitudinal axis of the distributor block, the first flow channel being flow-interruptible if necessary, with the aid of a preferably perpendicular or at least dividing wall running essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the distributor block and with the aid of the first valve device cooperating with this dividing wall. It can be provided that in a state in which a flow connection between the first and second connection is separated by the first valve device with the cooperating partition wall, the first flow channel is divided into a first region and a second region separated therefrom.
