Abstract
The invention relates to a locking coupling including a first coupling unit and a second coupling unit, which in each case extend along a longitudinal axis and are designed to be identical. Each coupling unit includes a valve unit and a locking unit. The first and the second valve unit are designed to form a fluid connection between the first and the second coupling unit, and the first and the second locking unit are designed to connect the first coupling unit and the second coupling unit mechanically to one another. The first coupling unit includes an actuating element, by actuation of which the first and the second coupling unit can be mechanically connected to one another via the first and the second locking unit and can be fluidically connected to one another via the first and the second valve unit.
Claims20
A locking coupling including a first coupling unit and a second coupling unit which each extend along a longitudinal axis, wherein the first coupling unit includes a first valve unit and a first locking unit and the second coupling unit includes a second valve unit and a second locking unit, wherein the first and the second valve units are realized to form a fluidic connection between the first and the second coupling units and wherein the first and the second locking units are realized to connect the first coupling unit and the second coupling unit together mechanically,
- wherein
- the second coupling unit is realized identically to the first coupling unit 444 and the first coupling unit includes an actuating element, as a result of the actuation of which the first and the second coupling units are connectable together mechanically by means of the first and the second locking units and fluidically by means of the first and the second valve units.
