Abstract:
1. A fluidic connector, comprising a connecting element and a mated connecting element, which are coupled together along a coupling axis, with the connecting element comprising: a body having a fluid flow channel in the connecting element, a locking device for axially locking the body of the connecting element with a body of the mated element when the connector is in a coupled configuration, and a sealing ring, which, during coupling and uncoupling of the connecting element and the mated connecting element of the connector, is movable in relation to the body of the connecting element between: a closed-off position of the flow channel of the body of the connecting element when the connecting element and the mated connecting element of the connector are in an uncoupled configuration, and an open position wherein the fluid flows in the connector, the sealing ring including a housing for receiving a coupling member wherein the coupling member is movable between: a first position, wherein the coupling member axially attaches the body of the connecting element with the sealing ring in the closed-off position, and a second position, wherein the coupling member axially attaches the body of the mated connecting element with the sealing ring in the open position, a blocking member for blocking the coupling member in the first position and for cooperating with the body of the mated connecting element, during the coupling of the connecting element and the mated connecting element of the connector, in order to allow passage of the coupling member from the first to the second position, the connector being characterised in that, during the coupling and uncoupling of the connecting element and the mated connecting element of the connector, the body of the connecting element blocks the coupling member in the second position while the sealing ring is displaced, between the closed-off position and the open position wherein the locking device axially locks the body of the mated connecting element in relation to the body of the connecting element.
