  • Publication number: 20240003474
    Abstract: A unit for connecting a fluid line to a port of a superordinate assembly, comprising a base body comprising a connection piece at one axial end for connection to the fluid line and a receiving portion at another axial end. The unit comprises an insert element comprising a resilient material and at least one radially outwardly projecting protrusion. The insert element defines, in its interior, an axial central connection opening and is separate from and connectable to the base body. The at least one protrusion projects into a corresponding aperture formed in an area of the receiving portion. Each protrusion comprises a blocking flank extending outwardly in a substantially radial direction and facing the axial end of the base body opposite the connection piece. The blocking flank is configured to abut against a respective blocking protrusion on the base body in a receiving portion engaged state of the insert element.

  • Publication number: 20230407998
    Abstract: A high-pressure fluid line including a corrugated tube defining a fluid flow channel its interior, wherein a wall of the corrugated tube, in parallel with the extension direction of the fluid flow channel, comprises a sequence of wave peaks and wave troughs. The fluid line includes a braiding made of threads, which is applied to an outer periphery of the corrugated tube. The braiding bears tightly against the outer periphery of the corrugated tube at a substantially constant braiding angle over the entire corrugated tube. The braiding and the corrugated tube are connected at least at two mutually separate locations such that stretching of the corrugated tube in a longitudinal direction is accompanied by a reduction in a diameter of the braiding.

  • Publication number: 20230184361
    Abstract: A connection unit for connecting fluid lines, including a plug-in unit connectable to a first fluid line not belonging to the connection unit, defining a first fluid flow channel in its interior, and a receiving unit connectable to a second fluid line not belonging to the connection unit, defining a second fluid flow channel in its interior. The plug-in unit and the receiving unit are connectable to establish a fluid connection between the first and second fluid flow channels. The connection unit also includes a release element transferrable from a holding state to a release state upon insertion of the plug-in unit into the receiving unit up to a predetermined depth, and an indicator element formed separately from the release element and locked by the release element in the holding state. The indicator element is detachable from the connection unit when the release element is in the release state.

  • Patent number: 11624466
    Abstract: An attachment device, comprising a first line connector with a first fluid passage and a second line connector. The second line connector surrounds the first line connector such that a second fluid passage is created between the first line connector and the second line connector. The second fluid passage is fluidically separated from the first fluid passage. The second line connector can be pushed onto the first line connector from the end thereof situated opposite the hose attachment of the first line connector. The attachment is arranged in a line comprising the attachment device connected using a corresponding connection method.
