Pressurized gas dispensing device, assembly including such a device and a control device, and container provided with such a dispensing device

Abstract

The invention relates to a pressurized gas dispensing device such as a tap, which includes a first end, to be placed in the opening of a pressurized gas storage tank, and a second end, including a connection interface selectively connectable to a device for controlling the filling and/or withdrawal of gas from the tank, the dispensing device including an internal gas circuit having an upstream end connecting inside the tank and a downstream end to be connected to said filling and/or withdrawal control device, the internal circuit including in series, upstream to downstream, a pressure regulator and a downstream insulation valve, the portion of the internal circuit located between the pressure regulator and the downstream insulation valve defining a so-called low-pressure chamber, the dispensing device; being characterized in that the connection interface includes at least one safety lock selectively movable between a first rest position, wherein the lock shapes the connection interface into a first configuration connectable to said combined filling and/or withdrawal control device, and a second active position, wherein the lock shapes the connection interface into a second configuration preventing connection to a combined filling and/or withdrawal control device, the safety lock being subject to the pressure in the so-called low-pressure chamber directly and/or via an intermediate transmission member such as a movable piston, the safety lock being moved to the active position thereof by the pressure in the low-pressure chamber when the pressure in the low-pressure chamber is greater than a predetermined threshold.
