  • the invention also relates to an assembly comprising a pressurized fluid container provided with a filling and/or withdrawal connection and a device for packaging conforming to any of the characteristics above or below, the connector comprising a body of generally cylindrical shape extending along a longitudinal axis and the exterior surface of which comprises hooking members intended to cooperate with the members attachment of the packaging device to allow removable attachment between these two entities, the filling connection comprising an internal circuit housing at least one valve for closing the internal circuit, said internal circuit opening out at an end face of said connection connection filling.
  • the invention also relates to a use of a packaging device according to any of the characteristics above or below or of a aforementioned assembly for filling and/or withdrawing a container of fluid under pressure, in particular a pressurized gas cylinder.
  • the invention also relates to a method of filling or withdrawing a container with fluid under pressure, the container comprising a tap provided with a filling connection having a body of generally cylindrical shape extending along a longitudinal axis and of which the exterior surface comprises hooking members intended to cooperate with the hooking members of the packaging device to allow removable hooking between the filling device and said connector, the filling connector comprising an internal circuit housing at least one release valve closing the internal circuit, said internal circuit opening out at an end face of said filling connection, the method comprising a mechanical connection, on the connection, of a conditioning device according to any one of the characteristics above or below below, the mechanical connection comprising a contact step of the blocking member on the end face of said filling connection in which the seal of the blocking member ensures a seal between the pipe of the conditioning device and the internal circuit of the connection filling, the method further comprising a step of moving the blocking member towards its rest position by relative approximation between the packaging device and the filling connector and a step of moving the at least one hooking member from its
  • the illustrated packaging device is designed to cooperate with a connection 1 for filling (and/or withdrawing) a container valve 18 of pressurized fluid.
  • This packaging device comprising a body 5 carrying at least one hooking member 2 arranged around a longitudinal axis A.
  • the packaging device may include several hooking members made up of movable claws.
  • the surface of the claws 2 facing the central space intended to accommodate a filling connection 1 can be provided with relief(s) 12 and/or recesses of determined dimensions. These relief(s) 12 and/or hollows are spaced relatively from each other in a determined manner to fit into one or more grooves 13 and/or conjugate reliefs formed on the exterior face of a filling connection 1.
  • the central space located between the hooking claws 2 and the longitudinal axis A forms a housing intended to accommodate a filling connector 1 of generally cylindrical shape.
  • the hooking claws 2 are movable between a spaced position ([ Fig. 2 ]) to allow the introduction of a connector 1 into the central space or the exit of a connector 1 from the central space and a close position ([ Fig. 3 ] Or [ Fig. 4 ]) to ensure hooking of the hooking claws 2 with the filling connection 1.
  • the packaging device further comprises a locking member 3 movable relative to the body 5 and relative to the hooking claws 2 between a first active position blocking the at least one hooking member 2 in the close position ([ Fig. 4 ] for example) and a second inactive position allowing the movement of the hooking claws 2 towards the separated position ([ Fig. 1 ] Or [ Fig. 2 ] For example).
  • the locking member 3 can be movable in translation (in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis A) between the first active position and the second inactive position. Furthermore, preferably, the locking member 3 is biased toward its active position by a return member 15 such as a spring.
  • a stop 32 can prevent the passage of the locking member 3 from the inactive position to the active position (see [ Fig. 1 ] Or [ Fig. 2 ]).
  • the hooking claws 2 are in a close position, the passage of the locking member 3 from the inactive position to the active position is no longer hindered by the stop 32 (see [ Fig. 3 ] Or [ Fig. 4 ]).
  • this stop can be formed by or on one or more claws 2.
  • the locking member comprises or is made up of a sleeve 3 of generally tubular shape arranged around the hooking claws 2.
  • the conditioning device further comprises a valve pusher 11 movable in a gas transfer pipe 7 (for filling from downstream to upstream and possibly for withdrawal from upstream to downstream) along the axis longitudinal.
  • the terms upstream and downstream refer to the direction of flow of the fluid in the event of withdrawal of fluid from the connection 1 in the longitudinal direction A.
  • the valve pusher comprises a rigid axis movable in translation along the longitudinal axis A to actuate or not the opening of at least one valve 19 of a filling connection 1.
  • the device 16, 17 for actuating the valve pusher 11 may comprise a switch 17 consisting of a push button or a pivoting lever and a mechanism 16 for transmitting force between the switch 17 and the valve pusher 11.
  • a pivoting lever 17 can control the position of the valve pusher 11 via a cam 16.
  • the packaging device further comprises a member 4 for blocking the claws 2.
  • the blocking member 4 is for example mounted on the body 5 around the terminal (upstream) end of the transfer pipe 7.
  • the blocking member 4 is movable in translation in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis A between a first upstream position preventing the movement of the hooking claws 2 from the spaced position towards the close position (see [ Fig. 1 ] Or [ Fig. 2 ] for example by ensuring their spacing) and a second downstream position authorizing the movement of the hooking claws 2 from the spaced position to the close position (see [ Fig. 3 ] Or [ Fig. 4 ] for example where the spacing is not maintained).
  • the blocking member 4 can therefore form, depending on its position, a mechanical stop or not ensuring a spacing or not of the hooking members 2 to prevent or not the mechanical connection of the conditioning device to a connection 1.
  • the blocking member 4 is biased towards its working position by default by a return member 6, for example a spring.
  • This blocking member 4 comprises an upstream face 14 intended to come into contact with a terminal end of a filling connection 1 when connecting these two entities.
  • the blocking member 4 can be moved from its working position (upstream see [ Fig. 2 ]) towards its rest position (further downstream (see [ Fig. 3 ]) during a pushing force of the filling connection 1 on its upstream face. That is to say, when the packaging device is pressed on the terminal end of a connector 1, the filling connector 1 enters the central space of the packaging device and pushes this blocking member 4 towards downstream.
  • the upstream face of the blocking member 4 comprises a seal 24 arranged around the longitudinal axis A to form a seal between the gas transfer pipe 7 and an internal circuit 20 of a filling connection 1.
  • this blocking member 4 ensures a dual function: a role in the locking mechanism of the quick connection between the packaging device and the filling connection 1 and a sealing role in this connection.
  • the locking member 4 makes it possible in particular to ensure tightness of the connection from the start of actuation of the quick connection and in particular during its retreat downstream to release the claws 2 hooking.
  • the locking member 4 can be considered as a part of the locking mechanism of the quick connection with the connection 1.
  • the blocking member 4 therefore participates both in the condition of connection of a conditioning device with the connection 1 and in their sealing.
  • This blocking member 4 only disappears and allows mechanical connection when a satisfactory seal is achieved.
  • the seal 24 for sealing the upstream face of the blocking member 4 is for example an O-ring compression seal which can be located in a housing such as a circular groove in the upstream end of the blocking member 4 .
  • the blocking member 4 in its first upstream position, forms a stop cooperating with a portion 22 of the hooking claws 2 preventing them from coming together.
  • the blocking member 4 in its second downstream position the blocking member 4 recedes transversely to allow the hooking claws 2 to come together.
  • the locking of the attachment of the packaging device to the filling connection 1 can be carried out automatically.
  • an operator or a machine pushes the packaging device onto the filling connection 1.
  • the blocking member 4 on the end face of said filling connection 1 in which the seal 24 of the blocking member 4 ensures a seal between the pipe 7 of the conditioning device and the internal circuit 20 of the filling connection 1.
  • the blocking member 4 is pushed back towards its rest position by relative approximation between the conditioning device and the filling connection 1. This frees the movement of the locking claws 2 which can be forced to move from the spaced position to the closer position by the force of the locking member 3 pushed by its spring 5.
  • the conditioning device comprises a member 8 for pushing the blocking member 4 making it possible in particular to increase the support force of the blocking member 4 on the filling connection 1 (and therefore the maintenance of the seal 24.
  • the blocking member 4 can therefore provide an additional function of maintaining the seal under increased pressure.
  • This thrust member 8 is a part having the general shape for example of a disc or a cup or a cap. This thrust member 8 is mounted movable in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis A between a first downstream position and a second upstream position. These two positions generate forces of different intensity on the blocking member 4 in the upstream direction.
  • the conditioning device further comprises a device 9, 10 for actuating the thrust member 8 configured to control the movement of the thrust member 8 between its first and second positions.
  • this actuation device 9, 10 is of the mechanical and/or pneumatic and/or magnetic and/or hydraulic type and includes a switch 10 operable manually and/or automatically.
  • this device 9, 10 for actuating the thrust member 8 comprises a switch 10 consisting of a push button or a pivoting lever and a mechanism 9 for transmitting force between the switch 10 and the member 8 of thrust.
  • the movement of the thrust member 8 could be controlled automatically, for example depending on the state of mechanical connection between the conditioning device and the connectors 1 (claws 2 and locking member 3 ).
  • the pushing member 8 comprises a face forming a stop or the fulcrum point of one end of the return member 6 which urges the blocking member 4 towards its working position.
  • the thrust member 8 when the thrust member 8 is moved to its second upstream position the force exerted by the spring 6 on the blocking member 4 in the upstream direction is increased.
  • two springs 6, 66 in series act on the thrust member 8.
  • 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 withdrawing gas from a filling connection 1 which performs both the filling function and the withdrawal function.
  • the conditioning device can be part of or, where appropriate, constitute a gas withdrawal valve which can be connected removably to a withdrawal and/or filling connection 1).
  • the filling connection 1 may comprise a closing valve 19 which is a double valve with two concentric closing elements (an internal closing element 39 whose opening allows the withdrawal of gas 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 connection 1).
  • the conditioning device can be configured to ensure the opening of the two concentric elements by, for example, actuating the external closing element 29 with a view to filling (introduction of fluid into the connection 1).
  • the same packaging device architecture can be configured to ensure opening only from the internal element 39 for fluid withdrawal (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 connection 1.
  • a mechanism or device can be provided for locking/unlocking the pressurization of the seal 24 (and possibly the locking member 3) as a function of the pressure in the circuit(s) 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 threshold determined in the circuits (meaning for example that the valve 19 does not is not closed). Likewise, for the locking member 3 which could be blocked in its first active position as long as the pressure in the circuits 7, 20 are above a determined threshold.
