Abstract:
1. In combination: a fixed connector part adapted to constitute an end part of a hydraulic system of a work vehicle and intended to be fixedly arranged on the work vehicle, the fixed connector part having a plurality of hydraulic couplings, a hydraulic system of a work equipment having hydraulic couplings comprising either a movable connector part having a plurality of hydraulic couplings or a plurality of individual hydraulic connections, each having a hydraulic coupling, the movable connector part being connectable to the fixed connector part by first and second locking devices, the first locking device located on the fixed connector part and the second locking device located on the movable connector part, the first and second locking devices being connectable to lock the movable connector part to the fixed connector part with their respective hydraulic couplings connected to each other for fluid flow therethrough, the hydraulic couplings of the fixed connector part being constructed to be hydraulically coupled to the hydraulic couplings of the movable connector part and alternatively to the hydraulic couplings of the plurality of individual hydraulic connections, and wherein the hydraulic couplings of the fixed connector part are configured as standard quick couplings as certified under ISO 16028, which may be directly connected and locked to individual hydraulic couplings of a work equipment without use of a movable connector part.
