- a first upstream spring 6 is mounted between the locking member 4 and a first cup 88 and a second downstream spring 66 is mounted between the first cup 88 and the thrust member 8.
- the packaging device is preferably used for filling pressurized gas containers (bottle or frame housing a set of bottles). Of course, this can also be used for drawing off gas from a filling connection 1 which performs both the filling function and the drawing off function.
- the conditioning device can form part or constitute, where appropriate, a gas withdrawal valve which can be removably connected to a withdrawal and / or filling connection 1).
- the filling connection 1 may include a closing valve 19 which is a double valve with two concentric closing elements (an internal closing element 39, the opening of which allows gas to be withdrawn from the internal circuit of the connection 1 and a external closing element 29, the opening of which allows filling by introducing gas into the internal circuit of the connector 1).
- the conditioning device can be configured to ensure the opening of the two concentric elements by actuating for example the external closing element 29 with a view to filling (introduction of fluid into the connector 1).
- the same packaging device architecture can be configured to ensure the opening only of the internal element 39 with a view to withdrawing fluid (fluid outlet from connection 1).
- the conditioning device can be configured to ensure the opening of a simple closing valve 19 (possibly in series with one or more other valves located in the internal circuit 20 of the connector 1.
- the packaging device allows a mechanical connection with a reliable seal which can, if necessary, be reinforced in the case of the presence of a member 8 for pushing the locking member 4.
- the mechanical and fluidic connection can be made according to the following sequence: the conditioning device is threaded onto the filling connector 1, which ensures tight contact between the blocking member 4 and the inlet of the internal circuit 20 of the connector 1, the retreat of the blocking member 4 downstream releases the fastening members 2 which can catch against the body of the connector 1, this automatically releases the movement of the member 3 which secures and locks the mechanical connection, the seal 24 of the locking member 4 is put under an increased pressure by actuation of the switch 10 of the device for actuating the position of the pushing member 8 (for example via a lever and cam ( s) and the spring 6), if necessary, the tightness of the connection can be checked by putting the assembly under vacuum, the isolation valve (s) 19 of connection 1 can then be opened via the valve pusher 11 controlled by a switch 10 (a second lever by example acting via a cam on the valve pusher housed in the transfer line 7), the gas transfer can then be carried out between the two connected entities.
- the disconnection can be carried out according to the following sequence: the isolation valve (s) 19 of connection 1 can be closed by moving the valve pusher 11 in the opposite direction (downstream) via the switch 10 , the internal circuit 20 can be purged, the crushing force of the seal 24 of the locking member 4 is reduced by actuating the switch 10 of the device (movement of the thrust member 8 in the direction reverse), the mechanical connection between the conditioning device and the connector 1 can be unlocked by the movement of the locking member 3 and spacing of the hooking members 2.
- a mechanism or device for locking / unlocking the control switch 17 of the valve pusher 11 which prevents its actuation (and therefore prevents the opening of the valves 19) as long as the seal 24 is sealed. of the locking piece is not pressurized (via actuator 10).
- actuator 10 This can be provided via a mechanical and / or hydraulic and / or pneumatic and / or magnetic system.
- the actuation of the two actuators 1017 can be coupled and in particular the actuator 17 is accessible or movable only if the other actuator 10 is in the required position.
- the two operations can be sequential and carried out by a single switch (lever or other).
- a mechanism or device for locking / unlocking the pressurization of the seal 24 (and possibly of the locking member 3) as a function of the pressure in the circuit or circuits 7, 20 that is to say, for example, that the member 8 cannot return to its first downstream position if the system detects a pressure above a determined threshold in the circuits (signifying for example that the valve 19 is not is not closed).
