Abstract

The invention relates to a coupling arrangement (6) for releaseably connecting a first line segment (26) provided on a first unit (2) to a second line segment (28) provided on a second unit (4), comprising connecting means that can be applied to the first unit (2) complementary connecting means that can be applied to the second unit (4) and that can be fixed to the connecting means, and a control device (32) that can be positioned between the first line segment (26) and the second line segment (28) and that can be switched between a blocking position, in which the connection between the first line segment (26) and the second line segment (28) is blocked, and a flow position, in which the connection between the first line segment (26) and the second line segment (28) is open. The control device (32) comprises a control body (30) rotatably support between the blocked position and the flow position that can be positioned at a distance between the first line segment (26) and the second line segment (28) and in which an intermediate line segment (38) is embedded, by means of which the first line segment (26) can be connected to the second line segment (28).
