  • FIG. 5 APPARATUS T0 COMPENSATE FOR OFF-CENTER LOADING ON A MATERIAL HANDLING DEVICE HAVING INFLATABLE FLUID PADS Filed Dec. 16. 1966 4 Sheets-Sheet 5 FIG. 5
  • Material handling devices that utilize a plurality of inflatable air pads characteristically are unstable when the loading of the device is off center to any appreciable extent.
  • a further drawback of such devices is that under ofl-center loading conditions the pad which is carrying the most load also requires the highest fluid pressure in the pad and the greatest amount of fluid flow; however, unless some compensating apparatus is built into the device the pad which has the greatest demand for pressurized fluid flow will receive the least fluid flow since fluids take the line of least resistance. If this occurs the pad with the greatest proportion of the load thereon may very well loose the fluid film between the pad and the supporting surface with the result that the pad will no longer slide over the supporting surface. Therefore, it is a principal object of my invention to provide apparatus to compensate for off-center loading of a device having inflatable fluid pads so that the pad carrying the greatest part of the load will have the greatest volume of fluid flowing to it.
  • I provide a load supporting platform to which four inflatable fluid pads are connected. Fluid is supplied to a plenum chamber to which four separate throttling valves are connected and which in turn are connected to individual pads.
  • Each throttling valve has a pair of piston and cylinder assemblies connected to it so that actuation of the assemblies causes actuation of the associated valve.
  • the cylinder of each assembly is divided into two adjacent chambers, a pair of corresponding chambers of each pair of assemblies being connected to the interior of a single pad.
  • the chamber adjacent one of the corresponding chambers is connected to the interior of a pad adjacent the one pad and the other chamber adjacent the corresponding chambers is connected to the interior of another pad adjacent the one pad.
  • FIGURE 1 is a plan view of a material handling device embodying my invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a side elevation of the device shown in FIG. 1,
  • FIGURE 3 shows schematically part of the fluid circuitry of my invention
  • FIGURE 4 is a fragmentary cross section taken along line 4-4 of FIG. 2,
  • FIGURE 5 is a section taken along line 55 of FIG. 6 of a throttling valve and the assemblies connected thereto,
  • FIGURE 6 is a section taken along the line 66 of FIG. 5,
  • FIGURE 7 is a plan view of a device having three inflatable fluid pads and embodying my invention.
  • FIGURE 8 shows schematically part of the fluid circuitry of the device shown in FIG. 7.
  • the reference numeral 10 denotes generally a material handling device having a load-supporting platform 12 to which four inflatable fluid pads 14, 16, 18 and 20 are connected.
  • the pads normally are supplied with pressurized air that various other fluids, for example, an inert gas, such as nitrogen, or even a liquid, such as water, also would work.
  • the pads are disposed substantially rectangularly to each other. That is, the centers of the individual pads fall at what would be the corners of a rectangle.
  • the relationship of pads 16 or 20 to pad 14 for example, is intended, rather than the relationship of pad 18 to 14, for example, which would be considered diagonally opposite each other.
  • Engine 22 Located adjacent one end of platform 12 is an internal combustion engine 22 which is supplied with fuel from a fuel tank 24.
  • Engine 22 is connected to a compressor 26 by means of a suitable coupling 28.
  • Engine 22 serves to drive compressor 26 which preferably draws air from the atmosphere, compressing it and then delivering the compressed air via a conduit 30 to a transverse conduit or plenum chamber 32.
  • Device 10 is described as a self-contained unit, but it should be understood that my invention would work equally well where conduit 30 .is connectible to an outside source of pressurized air such as is generally available in industrial buildings.
  • Pad 20 includes a backing plate 42 to which a flexible bag 44 is sealingly connected at the outer periphery 46 of plate 42. Bag 44 also is connected to the center of plate 42 by means of a connector 48.
  • Pad 20 preferably is connected to platform 12 by means of a suitable fastener 50, such as a screw, which passes through connector 48.
  • Pad 20 preferably is connected to platform 12 by means of a suitable fastener 50, such as a screw, which passes through connector 48.
  • a plurality of openings 52 which communicate with a chamber 54 defined by plate 42 and bag 44 and which is sometimes referred to hereinafter as the interior of the pad.
  • the interior or chamber 54 is filled with pressurized fluid until bag 44 assumes substantially the shape shown in FIG. 4.
  • chamber 54 is filled with pressurized fluid, and as long as fluid continues to be supplied thereto, there is a flow of fluid through chamber 54 and out through openings 52 to the underside of the pad. The fluid then flows radially outwardly past the underside of the pad forming a film between the pad and the supporting surface.
  • My invention is directed to this problem and involves apparatus to supply pressurized fluid to the inflatable pads and compensate for off-center loading on the pads so that the fluid flow to the pads is directly proportional to the loading on the pads, rather than inversely proportional as would otherwise be the case since fluids tend to follow the path of least resistance.
  • the apparatus for accomplishing this includes throttling valves 56, 58, 60 and 62 which connect ducts 34, 36, 38 and 40, respectively, to plenum chamber 32.
  • valve 56 for actuating it is a pair of piston and cylinder assemblies 64 and 66 which serve to actuate the valve as will be explained in more detail hereinafter.
  • a pair of piston and cylinder assemblies 68 and 70 are connected to valve 58
  • a pair of piston and cylinder assemblies 72 and 74 are connected to valve 60
  • a pair of piston and cylinder assemblies 76 and 78 are connected to valve 62.
  • Valve 56 includes an elongated hollow body 80, the ends of which are closed by end plates 82 held in sealing relation with body 80 by means of nut and bolt assemblies 84 located at the corners of plates 82. Extending outwardly from opposite sides of body 80 is a pair of short tubes 86 and 88 which function as inlet and outlet ports, respectively.
  • a movable member or blade 96 Connected to block 92 by any suitable means, such as welding, is a movable member or blade 96 which can be moved from the position shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 toward the right, as viewed in FIGS. 5 and 6, to a position substantially blocking the opening from body 80 to outlet port 88.
  • a pair of lock nuts 98 which serve to limit the rightward movement of member 96 and a bifurcated member or clevis 100 to which a cross arm 102 is pivotally connected by means of a pin 104.
  • valve 56 As was pointed out earlier each of the valves is connected to plenum chamber 32 and ducts 34, 36, 38 and 40.
  • valve 56 for example, has pressurized fluid supplied to inlet port 86 from plenum chamber 32, the fluid flowing through the valve and being supplied to duct 34 via outlet port 88.
  • the other valves are similarly connected.
  • Assembly 64 includes a cylinder 106 disposed between end plates 82. Slidably disposed in cylinder 106 is a piston 108 which divides cylinder 106 into a pair of adjacent chambers 110 and 112. Connected to piston 108 is a piston rod 114 which extends outwardly through a pair of closure members 116 which are threadably connected to end plates 82. Located in one of closure members 116 is a port 118 which communicates via a fluid passage 120 with chamber 110 and located in the other closure member is a port 122 which communicates via a fluid passage 124 with chamber 112. Piston rod 114 has a pin 126 connected adjacent one end thereof which engages a slot 128 adjacent one end of cross arm 102.
  • a compression spring 130 is carried by piston rod 114 and is disposed between closure member 116, as shown, and a washer 132 which is held in place by a pin 134 that passes through piston rod 114. Spring causes piston 108 and piston rod 114 to be biased to the position shown in FIG. 5.
  • Assembly 66 is identical to assembly 64 and includes a cylinder 136, a piston 138 slidably disposed in the cylinder and dividing it into adjacent chambers 140 and 142 and a piston rod 144 connected to piston 138 and extending outwardly through a pair of closure members 146.
  • One of closure members 146 has a port 148 therein which communicates via a passage 150 with chamber 140 and the other of closure members 146 has a port 152 therein which communicates via fluid passage 154 with chamber 142.
  • Connected to piston rod 144 is a pin 156 which engages a slot 158 in cross arm 102.
  • a compression spring 160 is carried by piston rod 144 and is disposed between closure member 146, as shown, and a washer 162 which is held in place by a pin 164 which passes through connecting rod 144.
  • chambers 110 and 140 correspond to each other functionally, and, likewise, chambers 112 and 142 correspond to each other functionally.
  • movable member 96 of valve 56 will be disposed as shown in FIG. 5 due to the bias of springs 130 and 160. Now, if the pressure communicated to the various chambers is changed so that there is a differential between either or both of the adjacent chambers member 96 will be moved to a flow restricting position if the pressure in either chamber 112 or chamber 142 is greater than the pressure in the adjacent chamber.
  • each assembly includes a pair of adjacent chambers.
  • assembly 68 includes a pair of chambers 166 and 168
  • assembly 70 includes a pair of chambers 170 and 172
  • assembly 72 includes a pair of chambers 174 and 176
  • assembly 74 includes a pair of chambers 178 and 180
  • assembly 76 includes a pair of chambers 182 and 184
  • assembly 78 includes a pair of chambers 186 and 188.
  • the chambers of the various valves are connected to the interior of the various inflatable pads so that the pressures in the various chambers are the same as the pressures in the pads to which they are connected.
  • corresponding chambers 110 and 140 together with chamber 168 and chamber 176, are in fluid communication with the interior of pads 20 via fluid circuitry 190.
  • corresponding chambers 174 and 178, together with chambers 112 and 184, are in fluid communication with the interior of pad 18 via fluid circuitry 194, and corresponding chambers 182 and 186, together with chambers 172 and 180, are in fluid communication with the interior of pad 16 via fluid circuitry 196.
  • the pressure communicated to chamber 168 from pad 20 will be greater than the pressure communicated to chamber 166 from pad 14 and the pressure communicated to chamber 170 from pad 14 will be greater than the pressure communicated to chamber 172 from pad 16 with the result that valve 58 is actuated to restrict fluid flow to the interior of pad 14 somewhat.
  • the pressure in chamber 176 from pad 20 will be greater than the pressure in chamber -174 from pad 18 and the pressure in chamber 178 from pad 18 will be greater than the pressure in chamber 180 from pad 16 so that valve 60 will be actuated to retard fluid flowing to the interior of pad 18.
  • valve 60 is actuated to a greater fluid flow retarding position than valve 58.
  • the fluid pressure in chambers 182 and 186 from pad 16 is decreased while the pressures in chambers 184 and 188 from pads 18 and 14, respectively, is increased, thereby causing both assemblies 76 and 78 to retract actuate valve 62 to a greater fluid flow retarding position than the other three valves.
  • the extent to which any of the throttling valves restricts fluid flow depends upon the decrease in the proportion of the load being carried by the associated pad.
  • Device 198 which embodies a modification of my invention.
  • Device 198 is similar to device 10, and so like reference numerals will be used for like parts and reference is made to the description hereinabove for a description of such parts.
  • Device 198 differs principally from device in that only three inflatable air pads 200, 202 and 204 are connected to the underside of platform 12, preferably at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. Consequently, only three ducts 206, 208 and 210 connect pads 200, 204 and 202, respectively, with plenum chamber 32 via throttling valves 212, 214 and 216, respectively.
  • valves 212, 214 and 216 are identical to valve 56, and so reference should be made to FIGS. 5 and 6 and the description of valve 56 hereinabove for a detailed description.
  • valve 212 Associated with valve 212 is a pair of piston and cylinder assemblies 218 and 220. Similarly, a pair of piston and cylinder assemblies 222 and 224 are associated with .valve 214 and a pair of piston and cylinder assemblies 216 and 228 are associated with valve 216. These assemblies are all constructed and connected to their respective valves in the same manner as was described hereinabove in detail in regard to assemblies 64 and 66.
  • assembly 218 is divided into a pair of adjacent chambers 230 and 232
  • assembly 220 is divided into a pair of adjacent chambers 234 and 236
  • assembly 222 is divided into a pair of adjacent chambers 238 and 240
  • assembly 224 is divided into a pair of adjacent chambers 242 and 244
  • assembly 226 is divided into a pair of adjacent chambers 246 and 248
  • assembly 228 is divided into a pair of adjacent chambers 250 and 252.
  • corresponding chambers 230 and 234, together with chambers 240 and 248, are in fluid communication with the interior of pad 200 via fluid circuitry 254;
  • corresponding chambers 238 and 242, together with chambers 232 and 252 are in fluid communication with the interior of pad 204 via fluid circuitry 256 and corresponding chambers 246 and 250, together with chambers 236 and 244, are in fluid communication with the interior of pad 202 via fluid circuitry 258.
  • the apparatus for compensating for off-center loading of device 198 functions in the same manner as the apparatus used with device 10, and so the operation of device 198 is felt to be obvious in view of the description of operation of device 10.
