Plug-type coupling
A plug-type coupling for connecting two fluid lines includes a coupling component which has an opening with an adjacent receiving duct, and a coupling piece which is inserted into the receiving duct and has a holding rib which extends from its circumference outwardly and forms a locking surface, wherein the holding rib interacts with a locking stirrup which has at least one leg which is resilient toward the opening. A disassembly element is movably mounted in the coupling component, wherein the disassembly element acts on the leg in the direction of opening the coupling.
1. A plug-type coupling for connecting two fluid lines, the coupling comprising:
a coupling component having a housing, an opening and an adjacent receiving duct;
a coupling piece inserted into the receiving duct, the coupling piece having a holding rib protruding from a circumference thereof outwardly and forming a locking surface,
wherein the holding rib and a locking stirrup are configured to interact,
wherein the locking stirrup has at least one leg which is resilient parallel to the opening; and
a disassembly element formed as a sliding member linearly movable into the housing of the coupling component, wherein the disassembly element is configured to act on the at least one leg in an opening direction, wherein the locking stirrup is U-shaped with two legs and a base connecting the two legs, and wherein the disassembly element is mounted so as to be slidable in a direction extending perpendicularly to the base, wherein the disassembly element has at least one leg to positively engage the disassembly element in the housing, wherein the at least one leg of the disassembly element is arranged in the axial direction of the receiving duct outside of an area in which the leg is located, wherein the disassembly element is movable in a direction out of the coupling component up to a position in which the disassembly element is flush with the outer contour of the coupling component, and wherein the coupling component has a receiving space for the locking stirrup, wherein the receiving space is covered on a side opposite the disassembly element by a housing section, wherein the disassembly element has two inclined surfaces that interact with the locking stirrup.
2. The coupling according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one leg has an outwardly angled section on which the disassembly element acts.
3. The coupling according to claim 1 , wherein the disassembly element is mounted with positively locking engagement in the coupling component.
4. The coupling according to claim 1 ,
Wherein the resilient leg has a first projection configured to interact with a second projection on the coupling component,
wherein the first and second projections each have a support surface extending perpendicularly of the direction of movement on one side, and wherein each projection has an inclined surface on the oppositely located side in the direction of movement.
5. The coupling according to claim 1 , wherein the locking stirrup is mounted with positive engagement in the coupling component.
6. The coupling according to claim 1 , wherein the housing section is convexly rounded, wherein the rounded portion is directed toward an end face of the coupling component.
7. The coupling according to claim 6 , wherein the housing extends at the end face thereof up to a level of the housing section, and wherein the housing has a recess in an area of greatest extension of the housing section.
8. The coupling according to claim 1 , wherein the holding rib has an inclined surface on a side located opposite the locking surface.
9. The coupling according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one leg is inclined on its side facing the opening.
10. The coupling according to claim 1 , wherein the locking stirrup is of metal and the disassembly element is of a synthetic material.
