Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016110465A1] The invention primarily relates to a system (10) for detecting a total or partial obstruction of at least one internal fluid pipe (11) of a tool (12), characterised in that said system (10) comprises: a pneumatic system (13) that is intended to be connected upstream of said internal pipe (11) of said tool (12), a pressure source (16) that is connected to said pneumatic system (13) by means of a solenoid valve (17), and a control unit (22) that is configured to open said solenoid valve (17) so as to pressurise said pneumatic system (13), and then to close said solenoid valve (17) so as to let said pneumatic system (13) be emptied freely by means of said internal pipe (11), and to detect an obstruction state of said internal pipe (11) depending on an analysis over time of a change in the pressure in said pneumatic system (13).
