Valve for controlling a flow of a fluid through a fluid channel, system and multiple-way valve

A system having at least one valve for controlling a flow of a fluid through a fluid channel, comprising:

• a tube of flexible material in which a section of a fluid channel is formed,
• a valve component assigned to the tube,
• a squeeze element, which is formed and configured on the valve component by pressing against an outside surface of the tube to control a flow of a fluid through the fluid channel, optionally up to the closing of the fluid channel,
• a guide section, which is formed on the valve component,
• a guide assigned to the valve component, which cooperates with the guide section in a relative movement of the guide and valve components relative to one another in the longitudinal direction of the tube, such that the squeeze element is displaced in the relative movement, changing the pressure on the outside surface of the tube and thus changing the flow through the fluid channel, and
• a pressure-applying device which is in fluid connection with the fluid channel and is configured to apply a pressure to the fluid in the fluid channel.

A multiple-way valve having a plurality of valves for controlling a flow of a fluid through a fluid channel, comprising:

• a tube of flexible material in which a section of a fluid channel is formed,
• a valve component assigned to the tube,
• a squeeze element, which is formed and configured on the valve component by pressing against an outside surface of the tube to control a flow of a fluid through the fluid channel, optionally up to the closing of the fluid channel,
• a guide section, which is formed on the valve component,
• a guide assigned to the valve component, which cooperates with the guide section in a relative movement of the guide and valve components relative to one another in the longitudinal direction of the tube, such that the squeeze element is displaced in the relative movement, changing the pressure on the outside surface of the tube and thus changing the flow through the fluid channel.
