Abstract
The present invention relates to a valve assembly for controlling fluid. The valve assembly for controlling fluid, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a housing; an actuator coupled to one side of the housing so as to provide power; a rotor which can rotate inside the housing and which receives power from the actuator; and a port unit which is coupled to one side of the housing, and to which a fluid hose is connected, wherein the rotor can be divided such that at least two multi-way valves can be controlled.
Claims19
A fluid control valve assembly comprising:
- a housing;
- an actuator which is coupled to one side of the housing and provides power;
- a rotor which is rotatably installed in the housing and receives the power from the actuator;
- and
- a port unit coupled to one side of the housing and connected to a fluid hose,
- wherein the rotor is formed to be divided to control at least two multi-way valves,
- wherein the rotor is divided into a plurality of compartments in an axial direction and a rotation direction to form unit compartments,
- wherein at least some of the unit compartments are formed to communicate with each other,
- wherein some of the unit compartments are open and others are closed, and the open unit compartments communicate with a plurality of ports formed in the port unit;
- and
- wherein an opening is formed in the housing to cover the entirety of the plurality of ports, and the port unit is coupled in close contact with the housing such that the opening and the plurality of ports directly communicate with each other.
