<p>A connecting device (1) is configured for connecting a beverage machine (2) with an external liquid delivery system (3) to supply such liquid to the machine (2). The machine (2) has a liquid storage tank (20) with an upper opening (20a). The device (1) has: an inlet (10) for a fluid connection to the external system (3); an outlet (13) for delivering liquid from the external system (3) via the inlet (10) to the machine (2); a valve arrangement (12a, 12b) switchable between an open configuration for establishing or interruption a fluidic connection between the inlet (10) and the outlet (13); and a control unit (14) for switching the valve arrangement (12a, 12b) between its open configuration and its closed configuration. The device (1) further comprises: a sensor arrangement (15a, 15b) connected to the control unit (14) that is configured to switch the valve arrangement (12a, 12b) in response to a triggering signal from the sensor arrangement (15a, 15b); and an assembly arrangement (16c, 16d) for reversibly fixing the connecting device (1), as a user-removable accessory (1), to the tank (20).</p> |
