Abstract
Provided is a compact coupling device. This coupling device has a first joint and a second joint. In the second joint, a sub valve chamber and a main valve chamber are formed so as to be continuous in the vertical direction. A sub valve member is inserted into the sub valve chamber so as to be movable in the vertical direction in a sealed manner. The sub valve member is urged downward by a second valve-closing spring against a sub valve seat formed inside the sub valve chamber. A communication path is formed in the sub valve member. The communication path forms a part of a flow passage that causes the sub valve chamber and the main valve chamber to communicate.
Claims4
A coupling device comprising:
- a first joint;
- a second joint detachably connected to the first joint;
- a first supply/discharge passage provided in the first joint;
- a second supply/discharge passage provided in the second joint and detachably connected to the first supply/discharge passage;
- a sub valve chamber and a main valve chamber formed so as to be continuous from a distal end side to a proximal side in an axial direction in the second joint;
- a sub valve member inserted into the sub valve chamber so as to be movable in the axial direction via a sealing member in a sealed manner, urged to the distal end side toward a sub valve seat formed in the sub valve chamber by a sub valve member closing spring, and having a sub valve surface capable of coming into contact with the sub valve seat;
- and
- a main valve member inserted into the main valve chamber so as to be movable in the axial direction in a sealed manner, capable of coming into contact with the sub valve member, and urged to a distal end side toward the main valve seat formed in the main valve chamber by a main valve member closing spring,
- wherein a communication path is formed in the sub valve member as a part of the second supply/discharge passage, and a filter is mounted so that at least a portion of said filter is disposed in a middle of the communication path.
