Abstract
A fluid coupling containing two coupling halves coupled to one another via connecting elements. Each of the coupling halves containing a housing which has an end face. The end face having at least one connecting element for the mutual connection of the coupling halves. The housing having connecting faces of the two coupling halves contacting one another when in the coupled state. A spherical valve element and a locking element, which can be mutually operated via the connecting elements and releases a rotary lever for operating the valve element.
Claims11
Fluid coupling comprising two coupling halves configured to be coupled to one another in a vertical direction via connecting elements, each of the coupling halves containing:
- a housing, which has an end face, the end face having at least one connecting element for the mutual connection of the coupling halves, the housing having an end-face connecting face, the connecting faces of the two coupling halves contacting one another when in the coupled state;
- a spherical valve element;
- a locking element, which is configured to be mutually operated via the connecting elements and releases rotary levers;
- and a rotary lever for operating the valve element, wherein the locking element is configured in the housing such that it is displaced parallel to the throughflow direction or longitudinal axis to release the rotary element when the coupling halves are hooked into one another vertically relative to the through flow direction or longitudinal axis.
