Abstract
Device for the sealed connection between a first and a second closed space, with the first closed space comprising openings closed off by a door, comprising: first part (A) for securing two closed spaces, second part (B) for securing two doors and of unlocking one of the door, third part (C) for releasing the other door, fourth part (D) for opening a passage between the two closed spaces, a control ring (48) able to be put into rotation around a longitudinal axis (X), with the rotation of the control ring (48) actuating at least the second (B), third (C) and fourth (D), parts, and a device for actuating the control ring and first means.
Claims28
An assembly comprising a first closed space and a connection device for a sealed connection between the first closed space and a second closed space, with the first closed space comprising a first flange and a first door closing off in a sealed manner an opening delimited by the first flange, and the second closed space comprising a second flange and a second door closing off in a sealed manner a second opening delimited by the second flange, with the second door being secured to the second flange by a bayonet connection, said connection device being mounted on a wall of the first closed space and comprising:
- a first securing device for securing the first and second flanges to one another,
- a second securing device for securing the second door and the first door in a sealed manner and for detaching the second door from the second flange,
- a releasing device for releasing the first door in relation to the first flange,
- an opening device for opening a passage between the first and the second closed space,
- a control ring comprising a single ring gear able to be placed in rotation around a longitudinal axis, with the rotation of said ring gear actuating at least the second securing device, the releasing device and the opening device,
- a first actuator for actuating said control ring, and
- a second actuator for actuating the first securing device.
