Valve for compressed gas with actuating device operable by a robotic interface

A valve for compressed gas, said valve comprising:

• a body with an inlet, an outlet and a passage interconnecting the inlet and with outlet;
• a shut-off device with a shutter mobile in translation along a longitudinal axis of the valve for cooperating with a seat in the passage, the shutter being urged by one or more elastic elements against the seat so as to normally close the passage;
• an actuating device configured to convert a pressure into a lifting movement of the shutter off the seat so as to open the passage;
• wherein the actuating device comprises an external circular flange or groove extending around the longitudinal axis and configured for being engaged by a robotic interface providing the pressure to the actuating device.

A robotic interface for engaging with an actuating device of a valve for compressed gas, said valve comprising:

• a body with an inlet, an outlet and a passage interconnecting the inlet and with outlet;
• a shut-off device with a shutter mobile in translation along a longitudinal axis of the valve for cooperating with a seat in the passage, the shutter being urged by one or more elastic elements against the seat so as to normally close the passage;
• an actuating device configured to convert a pressure into a lifting movement of the shutter off the seat so as to open the passage;
• wherein the actuating device comprises an external circular flange or groove extending around the longitudinal axis and configured for being engaged by a robotic interface providing the pressure to the actuating device;
• wherein the robotic interface comprises:
• a cap-shaped housing configured for being axially slipped on the actuating
• device;
• at least one radial locking device for engaging with the external circular groove
• of the actuating device;
• and
• a piston housed in the cap-shaped housing and configured for, upon actuation,
• exert the pressure on the actuating device so as to open the passage.
