System and method of use for a refrigerant quick-connect coupling

A refrigerant system quick connect coupling, said coupling comprising:

• a female coupling assembly including;
• a female shell disposed around a female socket forming a female flow cavity, said female socket receivably encloses a female cone with a female cone seal disposed around said female cone, said female socket and said female cone are coupled with said female cone seal, sealing between said female socket and said female cone;
• a plurality of female flow holes formed in said female socket, said female cone and said female cone seal, said female flow holes fluidly couple to said female flow cavity, and said female flow holes fluidly uncouple from said female flow cavity;
• a female cone cavity formed in said female cone;
• a male coupling assembly removably rotatably inserted into said female cone cavity;
• said male coupling assembly having a male cone housing receivably enclosing a male cone with a male cone seal disposed around said male cone, said male cone housing and said male cone are coupled with said male cone seal sealing between said male cone housing and said male cone;
• a plurality of male flow holes formed in said male cone housing, said male cone and said male cone seal;
• a male cone housing seal disposed on said male cone housing coupled to a female seat formed on said female cone for removably sealing said male coupling assembly with said female coupling assembly;
• said female flow holes rotatably misalign to fluidly seal, wherein said fluid is contained from leaking past said female coupling assembly;
• said male flow holes rotatably misalign to fluidly seal, wherein said fluid is contained from leaking past said male coupling assembly;
• said female coupling assembly and said male coupling assembly receivably couple to fluidly couple in a manner that said male coupling assembly and said female coupling assembly rotatably align so that said female flow cavity and said female flow holes disposed in said female socket communicate and, said female flow holes disposed in said female socket, said female cone and said female cone seal, rotatably align with said male flow holes disposed in said male cone housing, said male cone and said male cone seal, thereby creating a fluid flow path through said quick connect coupling;
• said female coupling assembly and said male coupling assembly fluidly uncouple in a manner that said male coupling assembly and said female coupling assembly rotatably misalign said female flow holes and said male flow holes, thereby sealing said fluid flow path through said quick connect coupling;
• and
• said male coupling assembly and said female coupling assembly are adapted to be removably uncoupled.

A method of using quick connect coupling, said method comprising:

• inserting a male coupling assembly removably rotatably into a female coupling assembly adapted to removably rotatably receive said male coupling assembly;
• said male coupling assembly having a male cone housing receivably enclosing a male cone with at least one male flow hole formed in said male cone housing;
• said female coupling assembly including;
• a female cone housing, said female cone housing receivably encloses a female cone;
• at least one female flow hole formed in said female cone housing and said female cone;
• coupling said male coupling assembly with said female coupling assembly, wherein said male coupling assembly and said female coupling assembly are removably rotatably coupled;
• docking said male cone with said female cone wherein said male cone and said female cone are removably and rotatably interlocked so that said male cone and said female cone rotate substantially in unison;
• aligning said at least one female flow hole with said at least one male flow hole wherein a fluid is coupled to flow through said at least one male flow hole and said at least one female flow hole;
• misaligning said at least one female flow bole and said at least one male flow hole wherein said fluid is sealed from flowing past said female coupling assembly and said male coupling assembly;
• undocking said male cone and said female cone;
• uncoupling said male coupling assembly from said female coupling assembly wherein said male coupling assembly is removed from said female coupling assembly.

A method of using quick connect coupling, said method comprising:

• inserting a male coupling assembly removably rotatably into a female cone cavity formed in a female coupling assembly adapted to removably rotatably receive said male coupling assembly;
• said male coupling assembly having a male cone housing receivably enclosing a male cone with a male cone seal disposed around said male cone, said male cone housing and said male cone are coupled with said male cone seal sealing between said male cone housing and said male cone;
• a plurality of male flow holes formed in said male cone housing, said male cone and said male cone seal;
• said female coupling assembly including;
• a female shell disposed around a female socket forming a female flow cavity, said female socket receivably encloses a female cone with a female cone seal disposed around said female cone, said female socket and said female cone are coupled with said female cone seal, sealing between said female socket and said female cone;
• a plurality of female flow holes formed in said female socket, said female cone and said female cone seal, said female flow holes fluidly couple to said female flow cavity, and said female flow holes fluidly uncouple from said female flow cavity;
• coupling said male coupling assembly with said female coupling assembly, wherein said male coupling assembly and said female coupling assembly are removably rotatably coupled;
• docking said male cone with said female cone wherein said male cone and said female cone are removably and rotatably interlocked so that said male cone and said female cone rotate substantially in unison;
• aligning said female flow holes with said male flow holes wherein a fluid is coupled to flow through said male flow holes and said female flow holes;
• misaligning said female flow holes and said male flow holes wherein said fluid is sealed from flowing past said female coupling assembly and said male coupling assembly;
• undocking said male cone and said female cone;
• uncoupling said male coupling assembly from said female coupling assembly wherein said male coupling assembly is removed from said female cone cavity.
