Abstract
A tabular assembly base (2) is proposed, which serves for the detachable fitting of a valve unit (3). The assembly base (2) is modular in design and comprises a plurality of individual base segments (23) joined together as a rigid unit. The valve unit (3) comprises several valve modules (4). Underneath the base segments (23) several connection segments (25) are located which are associated with the valve modules (4). They possess load ducts (33) communicating with the valve modules (4) and having an electrical and/or fluid power functional unit (38) associated with them at least in part.
Claims20
A valve arrangement comprising a plurality of valve modules which are detachably mounted on a tabular assembly base, the assembly base including load ducts formed therein which communicate with load ducts of the valve modules, said assembly base being modular and comprising a plurality of individual base segments stacked in a row as a rigid unit, a load duct of at least one base segment being in fluid communication with at least one functional unit and wherein the valve modules are stacked in a row of subassemblies to form a valve unit able to be handled as a uniform body, which is detachably mounted on the tabular assembly base.
A valve assembly comprising:
- a plurality of valve modules coupled together in a row to form a valve unit, each valve module having at least one fluid duct formed therein;
- and
- a plurality of base segments coupled together in a row to form an assembly base having a mounting face, each base segment having at least one fluid duct formed therein,
- wherein the valve unit is detachably mounted to the mounting face of the assembly base such that at least one fluid duct of each valve module is in fluid communication with a fluid duct of a base segment.
