A hydraulic and/or pneumatic connector, said connector comprising a fixed part adapted to constitute the end part of a first hydraulic circuit of a main operating machine and to be fixed to said main operating machine, said fixed part comprising at least one first male or female hydraulic coupling, said connector comprising a movable part intended to constitute the end part of a second hydraulic circuit of a piece of equipment, said movable part comprising at least one second hydraulic coupling, respectively either female or male, where said at least one first hydraulic coupling of said fixed part and at least one second hydraulic coupling of said movable part are adapted to be hydraulically connected so as to achieve the hydraulic connection between said first and second hydraulic circuits of said male operating machine and said equipment, respectively, said connector comprising mechanical constraint means which can be switched between a first configuration or position and a second configuration or position, where the switching of said mechanical constraints in said second configuration or position translates into the mechanical constraining of said fixed part and said movable part and in the hydraulic connection between said first coupling and said second coupling, of said fixed part and of said movable part, respectively. and where the switching of said constraint means in said first position or configuration translates into the possibly of mechanically releasing said fixed part and said movable part and of hydraulically disconnecting said first coupling and said second coupling of said fixed part and said movable part, respectively.
A hydraulic and/or pneumatic connector, said connector comprising a first part and a second part, said first part and said second part comprising mechanical constraint means and engaging means, respectively, said constraint means being adapted to be switched between a first position and a second position, wherein the switching of said mechanical constraint means in said second position translates into said constraint means and said engaging means being reciprocally, progressively engaged and in said first part and said second part being mechanically, reciprocally constrained, and wherein the switching of said constraint means in said first position translates into the possibility of mechanically releasing said first part and said second part, said mechanical constraint means comprising a groove, said groove comprising an end portion, wherein the switching of said constraint means into said second position translates into the reciprocal progressive engagement of said groove and said engaging means, and wherein with said first part and said second part in reciprocal constraining condition and with said constraint means in said second switching position, said engaging means are positioned at said end portion of said groove and can translate along said end portion so as to be released from said groove with no need to switch said constraint means into said first position, characterized in that said connector comprises contrasting and checking means accommodated in said end portion of said groove, and in that said contrasting and checking means are fixed to said end portion of said groove so as to contrast the translation of said engaging means along said end portion of said groove and thus the reciprocal releasing of said constraint means and of said engaging means.
