CONNECTION COUPLING FOR THE EXPULSION OF A FLUID IN A TANK

Claims

A connection coupling for introducing a fluid into a tank comprises a housing, a first fluid connection that can be connected to a fluid supply line, a second fluid connection that can be connected to a tank connection sleeve, a channel through the housing to conduct the fluid from the first to the second fluid connection, a main valve disposed in the channel, a coupling device for establishing and releasing a connection between the connection coupling and the connection sleeve, and an actuating device for operating the coupling device and the main valve. According to the invention, the actuating device has a gripping element that at least partially surrounds an outer section of the housing and, together with the outer section of the housing, is designed to be grasped by a user's hand.The gripper element can rotate around a pivot axis relative to the outer section of the housing and is coupled to the coupling device and the main valve in such a way that the rotation of the gripper element actuates the coupling device and the main valve. The design of the gripper element allows for an intuitive, safe, and user-friendly refueling process.
