Publication number: 20210396338Abstract: Each of a pair of couplers includes: a vacuum double-pipe structure main part; a valve seat forming an opening through which a fluid flows; and a valve body in the main part. The valve body is configured such that, when separating the couplers, in each coupler, the body is brought into contact with the seat by a spring to close the opening, and when coupling the couplers, the body of each coupler is pressed by the body of the other coupler to move away from the seat and open the opening. The valve body includes: a holding member holding a sealing material sealing between the body and the seat when the body is in contact with the seat; a resin block covering a distal end surface of the holding member; and a metal operating member accommodating the block and protruding from the holding member to pass through the opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2019Publication date: December 23, 2021Applicants: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA, TB GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES LTD.Inventors: Tomoaki UMEMURA, Shuntaro UNNO, Kentaro OKUMURA, Tsutomu KAWAI

Patent number: 11079051Abstract: To provide an emergency detachment mechanism for a fluid handling device that has exceptional heat insulation performance and enables liquid hydrogen or another very-low-temperature fluid to be handled. An emergency detachment mechanism for a fluid handling device provided with a pair of couplers 1, wherein each of the pair of couplers 1 has a coupler body part 5 including an internal tube part 2 in which a fluid passes through an interior and which opens at a distal end side, an external tube part 3 which forms a vacuum layer 9 with the internal tube part 2 and which opens at a distal end side, and a connecting flange part 4 that closes off a space between the internal tube part 2 and the external tube part 3, a wall thickness of the connecting flange part 4 being less than a wall thickness of the external tube part 3.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2018Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignees: TB GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES LTD., KAWASAKI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTDInventors: Tsutomu Kawai, Tomoaki Umemura
