QUICK CONNECTOR
A quick connector includes a male base and a female base, wherein the male base has a first tube body, an annular clamping groove arranged outside the first tube body, a first flow channel axially penetrating through the first tube body, a plug body slidably arranged in the first flow channel, and an elastic member for pushing the plug body to close the first flow channel. The female base includes a second tube body, a second flow channel which axially penetrates through the second tube body and into which the first tube body is inserted, an annular fastener provided in the second flow channel, and a push rod fixed on the second flow channel and oriented towards the plug body.

BLIND MATE FLUID COUPLING WITH MISALIGNMENT COMPENSATION
A coupling member for a blind mate fluid coupling includes a housing and a fluid connector fixed in position relative to the housing for connecting to a fluid conduit of the system. A valve body extends through the housing and is movable relative to the housing. The valve body includes an internal fluid passage that is fluidly connected to the connector, and a valve member opens or closes the internal fluid passage. A carrier is at least partially disposed in the housing and is radially movable relative to the housing. The carrier is configured to cooperate with the valve body to facilitate alignment of the valve body when coupling to another coupling member. The carrier may form a portion of the fluid passage between the connector and valve body, and includes a sealing arrangement that permits radial and/or angular misalignment compensation of the design. Varying diameters of the insertion part or receiving part of the coupling member may be provided for further enhancing misalignment compensation of the design.
HYGIENIC COUPLING
A coupling for use with comestible products having a first body with a first flow path extending therethrough and a second body with a second flow path extending therethrough. The first and second bodies are configured for coupling together such that the first and second flow paths form a continuous flow path through the coupling. The coupling further comprises a first valve member actuable between an open position, wherein product can pass through the first flow path, and a closed position, wherein the passage of product through the first flow path is prevented, and a first biasing member for biasing the first valve member into the closed position. The coupling is configured such that, if the first and second bodies become decoupled from one another, the first valve member is moved into the closed position. The first biasing member is isolated from the flow path passing through the coupling.
CONNECTION ASSEMBLY AND THERMOREGULATION ASSEMBLY
The connection assembly (100) which includes a flange (140) has two internal orifices (150) crossing through and centered on orifice axes (A150) parallel to each other, a front surface (142) and a rear surface (144) parallel to a transverse plane (P140) transverse to the orifice axes (A150), two fluidic coupling elements (170), that have a male body (172) received in a corresponding internal orifice, and a cover (120), configured for being attached to a support (110) in a mounted configuration of the connection assembly. The flange can move with respect to the cover according to a movement supported by the transverse plane, whereas for each male body, a second gasket (188) is interposed radially between the male body and an internal radial surface (S162) of the corresponding internal orifice, each male body being mounted in the corresponding internal orifice and can be tilted with respect to the corresponding orifice axis.
MALE OR FEMALE FLUID COUPLING ELEMENT AND FLUID COUPLING INCLUDING SUCH AN ELEMENT
Male or female fluid coupling element and fluid coupling including such an element This coupling element has a body and a nozzle. The body delimits a housing for partially receiving the nozzle. The nozzle has a tubular part and a flange received in the housing. Two sealing barriers formed by at least one sealing joint are interposed between a rear surface of the flange and a front face of the body, between a front surface of the flange and a rear face of the body, respectively. A plug caps an inner conduit. Portions of the inner conduit communicate through at least one passage opening into an inner volume of the nozzle, forward of the plug, and on an outer peripheral surface of the flange. An inner chamber is separated from the inner conduit by the body, the flange, the plug and the first sealing barrier.
Universal quick disconnect
Couplings are disclosed herein. A plug of a coupling includes a plug body and a socket interface coupled to the plug body. The socket interface includes a shoulder extending axially outward from the plug body, a neck extending axially outward and radially inward from the shoulder, and a socket guide extending axially outward and radially outward from the neck.
Systems and methods for wireless power and data transfer for connectors
A system and a method for wireless power and data transfer for connectors. The connector system is adapted for coupling two devices and for wirelessly transferring power and/or data from a first device to a second device. At the transmitting end, the system comprises of a power source, a self-resonating sinewave oscillator, a tuning circuit a, and a transmitter coil for processing and transmitting the power and/or data. At the receiving end, the system comprises a receiver coil, a proximity sensor, a signal modulator, a signal de-modulator, a bridge rectifier, a DC-DC regulator for processing and providing the power and/or date to a load.
