Abstract
A hydraulic assembly for controlling a liquid is provided with a plurality of hydraulic modules connected to one another; wherein each hydraulic module comprises a base element in which a liquid runs in use; a base element comprising a base body, a first connector and at least one second connector; the first connector and the second connector can be mutually coupled; and an interactive element, coupled to the base element and configured to interact with the liquid running in the base element.

A hydraulic assembly (1;100) for controlling a liquid comprising a plurality of hydraulic modules (2;20) connected to one another;
- wherein each hydraulic module (2;20) comprises:
- a base element (3;23), in which a liquid runs in use;
- the base element (3;23) comprising a base body (7;24), a first connector (8;28) and at least one second connector (9;29);
- the first connector (8;28) and the second connector (9;29) being of a mutually couplable design;
- the base body (7;24) defining a cavity in which the liquid runs in use, the base body (7;24) further including an open end and a closed end;
- at least one joint element (35) configured to connect the base elements (3;23) of the hydraulic modules (2;20);
- the hydraulic assembly (1;100) being characterized by comprising
- an interactive element (4), coupled to the open end of the base body (7;24) of the base element (3;23) and configured to interact with the liquid running in the cavity of the base element (3;23);
- the first connector (8), the second connector (9) and the interactive element (4) being in fluid communication with the cavity;
- the first connector (8) and the second connector (9) are made in one piece with the base body (7), wherein the interactive element (4) is disposed opposite the closed end of the base body (7;24) such that a longitudinal center axis of the interactive element (4) intersects the closed end of the base body (7;24);
- wherein the base bodies (7;24) of all of the plurality of hydraulic modules (2;20) have identical constructions and wherein at least two interactive elements have different constructions from one another;
- wherein the at least one joint element (35) is defined by at least a first leg that connects to one base element (3;23) and a second leg that connects to another base element (3;23), wherein the first connector (8;28) and the second connector (9;29) are aligned along an axis (A;B) and a distance, along axis (A;B), from the first connector (8;28) and the second connector (9;29) is greater than a length of each of the first leg and the second leg, the first leg being disposed 90 degrees relative to the second leg.
