Provided is a female quick-connect coupling element (A) for the detachable connection of two pressurized fluid pipes, this female element being able to receive by fitting, according to a longitudinal axis (X-X′) of this female element (A) and in an insertion channel (42) located on a front side of the female element (A), a male coupling element (B). The female element includes a body (40) through which passes a conduit (400) for the circulation of fluid, balls (74) for locking the male element (B) in a coupled configuration, with these locking balls being positioned in radial housings of the body and able to protrude radially in the insertion channel, and an actuating member (90) mobile in translation according to a longitudinal axis (X-X′) between a first position, in which the male element (B) is locked in the female element (A) in coupled configuration, and a second position, in which the male and female elements are in uncoupled configuration, during a disconnection maneuver of the male element (B) and of the female element (A). The female quick-connect coupling element(A) includes an intermediate locking ring (70), mobile in axial translation between a rear position, in which an internal wall (702a) of the intermediate ring (70) maintains the locking balls (74) protruding in the insertion channel (42) in coupled configuration of the coupling, and a front position of the front side of the female element (A), in which the locking balls (74) are free to be pushed back opposite the longitudinal axis (X-X′) of the female element (A) in order to no longer protrude in the insertion channel, under the action of the actuating member (90) during the disconnection maneuver. |
