Automatic coupling system for electrical and/or fluid circuits between pieces of equipment, a least one of which is mobile.

摘要

1. A device for automatically connecting electrical and/or fluid circuits between two apparatuses (1, 4) at least one of which is movable without requiring the presence of an operator in the proximity of the coupling members, the device comprising at least one coupling element (27, 28) on each of the apparatuses and an actuator (20) coupling system on one of the apparatuses, the device being characterized in that the coupling element (28) of at one of the apparatuses (4) is supported by a device (44) providing it with vertical or horizontal deflection in order to ensure proper coupling even when the two apparatuses are positioned approximately, and in that it further includes on each apparatus two axis return devices (21, 22, 32, 35) for returning both the coupling actuator (20) and the coupling element (28) of the apparatus (4) that does not have the coupling actuator towards said coupling axis in two mutually perpendicular directions perpendicular to said axis.
