FLUIDIC DEVICES AND RELATED HAPTIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS

A fluidic device controls fluid flow in channel from a source to a drain. In some embodiments, the fluidic devices comprise a gate, a channel, and an obstruction. The gate comprises at least one chamber whose volume increases with fluid pressure. A high-pressure state of the gate corresponds to a first chamber size and a low-pressure state of the gate corresponds to a second chamber size that is smaller than the first chamber size. The obstruction controls a rate of fluid flow within the channel based on the fluid pressure in the gate. The obstruction induces at most a first flow rate of fluid in the channel in accordance with the low-pressure state of the gate, and at least a second flow rate of the fluid in the channel in accordance with the high-pressure state of the gate.

Vacuum release valve

A vacuum release valve includes: a tube body and an elastic valve. The tube body is provided with at least one venting opening, and the tube body has a stopping portion at one end of the venting opening and a flange at the other end. The elastic valve is provided with a ring, and the ring has a tubular portion. The tubular portion is retracted to form two inclined surfaces and a linear gap. The elastic valve is installed in the tube body, and the ring and the tubular portion respectively press against the stopping portion and the flange of the tube body. When the tubular portion is elastically deformed due to the vacuum suction, the venting opening communicates with the output end, and then the external air is introduced. The inclined surface can withstand reverse water pressure and close the linear gap and the venting opening.
