Motor vehicle quick coupling, and fluid circuit
View Patent ↗A motor vehicle quick coupling for a fluid connection in a motor vehicle includes a coupling body in which a fluid line is formed through which a fluid can flow. The quick coupling has a first fluid interface which is designed such that the quick coupling can be connected directly to a fluid-conducting component of the motor vehicle, in particular to a radiator, such that the component supports the quick coupling. The quick coupling has a second fluid interface which is fluidically connected to the first fluid interface via the fluid line. The quick coupling includes a valve which has a valve closure element that extends into the fluid line.
1. A fluid circuit in a motor vehicle, comprising:
a first fluid-guiding component, wherein the first fluid-guiding component is a rigid subassembly and is not a line or a hose and is connected to the motor vehicle in a mechanically secure manner and wherein the first fluid-guiding component is a radiator of the motor vehicle;
a second fluid-guiding component, wherein the second fluid-guiding component is a line or a hose;
a component of the motor vehicle, wherein the second fluid-guiding component is connected to the component of the motor vehicle;
a quick coupling, wherein the quick coupling includes:
a coupling body in which a fluid line through which a fluid is flowable is present;
a first fluid interface that is connected directly to the first fluid-guiding component;
a second fluid interface that is connected to the second fluid-guiding component, wherein the second fluid interface is connected in terms of flow via the fluid line to the first fluid interface, wherein an outer side of the second fluid interface has ribs, and wherein an end of the second fluid-guiding component is fitted over the ribs; and
a valve which is disposed in the coupling body between the first fluid interface and the second fluid interface, wherein the valve includes a valve closure element which extends into the fluid line.
2. The fluid circuit in the motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
a valve seat for the valve closure element is constructed in the coupling body.
3. The fluid circuit in the motor vehicle as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the valve seat is in a region of the second fluid interface.
4. The fluid circuit in the motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the coupling body has a valve interface via which at least one valve drive unit of the valve is connectable to the coupling body.
5. The fluid circuit in the motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the first fluid interface has a torsion prevention device.
6. The fluid circuit in the motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the valve is an electric valve.
7. The fluid circuit in the motor vehicle as claimed in claim 6 , wherein
the electric valve is an electromagnetic valve.
8. The fluid circuit in the motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the valve is configured such that the valve closure element can assume an open position, in which fluid can flow through the fluid line, and a closed position, in which the fluid line is blocked.
9. The fluid circuit in the motor vehicle as claimed in claim 8 , wherein
the valve is constructed such that the valve closure element can assume intermediate positions between the open and the closed position.
10. The fluid circuit in the motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the valve is constructed to be fail-safe.
11. The fluid circuit in the motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the valve comprises a heating unit which at least indirectly heats the fluid which flows through the quick coupling.
