Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021078314A1] The invention relates to a filling adapter for filling vehicles at assembly lines in the automotive industry, at which vehicles are filled with various service fluids that are supplied from filling systems via connection lines and filling adapters to circuits and containers of the vehicle. The problem addressed by the invention is that of creating a mechanical clamping element for a filling adapter of this kind that has a lower mechanical load for the filling port than the clamping claws or balls commonly used to date. This problem is solved in that the clamping element (2) has a semi-circular contour with a cross section that, starting from a lower and flat base surface (21), transitions upwards into two side surfaces (22; 23) which are arranged at a right angle to the base surface (21) and extend parallel to one another, wherein the two side surfaces (22; 23) each transition, at their end section arranged opposite the base surface (21), into an actuation surface (24; 25) that extends at an angle upwards and inwards.
