CONSTITUTION:A pair of base plates 2, 3 are connected together with a plurality of flexible pipes 4 each having taps at both ends thereof. With this arrangement, fluid passages are formed of flexible pipes so that pipe connection may be simplified, thereby it is possible to enhance the efficiency of work.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A) Technical Field The present invention relates to a manifold, particularly a manifold suitable for use in hydraulic equipment.

(b) Prior art and problems Manifolds, which are essential for machine tools, especially hydraulic valves, are known to be extremely separated in design and machining.

Three-dimensional cast products (Inkotsuto) are heavy and must be moved using a crane during machining, making the work difficult. Furthermore, if a dead zone is left near the intersection of passages (for example, hydraulic passages) during machining, it is difficult to cut them. Powder tends to accumulate and is difficult to wash out, so in order to eliminate the dead zone, the above-mentioned passage is formed through the passage from one side to the other side, and a rod is inserted in the opposite direction to the vicinity of the intersection, and then a blind cover is placed. This is required near the intersections of many passages, and there is a problem in that the processing costs are high. As a countermeasure, the entire manifold was formed separately and finally assembled into a three-dimensional shape.

For example, a technique has been proposed to create a block-shaped manifold, but since the connection state of the internal passages is close to a tertiary surface rather than a secondary surface and is extremely complicated, this split and combination manifold is not suitable for practical use. It was fleeting.

(c) Purpose The present invention has been made with attention to such conventional manifolds, and aims to provide a manifold that has ease of piping work, flexibility in valve arrangement positions, and is lightweight overall. That is.

L-J configuration In order to achieve the above object, the manifold according to the present invention has a structure in which a plurality of sockets are connected between a pair of base plates that also serve as piping blocks, each having a plurality of sockets at both ends. The socket metal parts are individually connected using flexible tubes, so that fluid can be freely supplied from the primary side to the secondary side.

W4 Embodiment Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

This manifold 1 is mainly composed of a pair of base plates 2.3 which also serve as piping blocks and a plurality of flexible pieces f4.

The base plate 2.3 is mounted on the frame 5 with one side vertical and the other side horizontal, and a plurality of socket metal parts 6.7 are provided on each of the inner surfaces thereof. The base plate 3 is equipped with a plurality of hydraulic valves 8 and hydraulic blocks 9 as mating components on its outer surface (upper surface), and therefore, a highly accurate surface portion 10 is attached to the outer surface.
is provided by surface treatment.

The plurality of flexible tubes f4 are each provided with a cap portion 11 at both end portions, and a “rubber hose” is used as the flexible tube 4 in the illustrated example, for example, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3.805.508.
The cap part 1 is formed by the cap forming device as shown in the specification of the patent.
1 is formed at both end portions, respectively. The flexible tube 4 is not limited to a "rubber hose," but any hose or vibrator for supplying pressure fluid such as a flexible vibrator can be used.

The above-mentioned pair of base plates 2 and 3 have a plurality of socket metal parts 6.7 provided thereon, which allow the flexible tube 4 to be properly moved in the directions of the By bending the base brake (base brake) 2 and 3, they are connected individually while making effective use of the space between them to form a predetermined "hydraulic path".
It is possible to freely distribute and supply fluid (hydraulic pressure) to 1 [F]).

Note that 12 in Figure 1 indicates a hydraulic pump.

Next, the action will be explained.

When assembling the hydraulic block 9, hydraulic valve 8, etc. to the surface portion 10 of the base plate 3, which is horizontally attached to the frame 5 and also serves as a piping block, there is a relatively high degree of freedom in assembling the hydraulic block 9, hydraulic valve 8, etc., without being limited to the conventional method of forming the "hydraulic path". The position where it should be placed can be set, and then the socket fitting 7 that communicates with the hydraulic block 9, hydraulic valve 8, etc. and the socket fitting 6 of the other base plate 2 are connected to each other with the flexible pipe 4. It is something that connects. When connecting, even in a complicated connection state as shown in Figures 1 and 3, the flexibility of #4 can be used to flex and connect in the X-axis, Y-axis, and two-axis directions. You can get it easily.

This is advantageous in terms of workability.

(f) Effects Since the manifold according to the present invention has the contents as explained above, it can be used as a flexible material like a rubber hose without forming a fluid path by drilling holes in a three-dimensional cast product (ingot) as in the conventional method. Since the fluid path is formed with a pipe, the ease of piping, that is, the workability associated with forming the fluid path, is greatly improved, and
Flexible tubes can be freely installed in the axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions, increasing the degree of freedom in setting the position when arranging the valve.

In addition, since the pair of base plates that also serve as piping blocks are simply connected by multiple flexible tubes, the overall weight can be extremely reduced, which makes it advantageous to assemble it into other work 4gZ as a manifold. It has excellent effects.
