Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a manifold pedestal device for mounting a valve assembly thereon, comprising the manifolds (bases) for mounting the actuators thereon, each of said base members being shaped like a square box and being provided in its inside with a pressure air hole, a distribution hole, a secondary feeding hole and an air vent, on its surface, with a valve assembly mounting face, and on its side with a pressure hole opening and a receiving seat thereof.
  • These base members can be coupled together, or separated, in any optional number by a simple engaging operation of the connecting frames, and the intercommunication of the pressure air holes attained by said coupling can be kept air-tight, or such intercommunication may also be shut off, and a selective driving operation for each actuator can be effected by feed of the pressure air from the secondary feeding hole.
  • the present invention relates to a pedestal device for mounting a fluid valve assembly thereon, and more particularly to a continuous manifold pedestal device arranged to be suitable for mounting one or more fluid valve assemblies.
  • Another object of the invention is to realize the desired valve actuation with a single or a plurality of manifold units each having a valve assembly mounted thereon, by forming a working hole necessary for driving the valve assembly on each juncture face of the uniform manifold pedestals while providing on the other face a communication hole linked to actuation from other units.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of several coupled manifold pedestals embodying the invention, with the base members being provided at both ends thereof and with a valve assembly being mounted on the surface of only one such pedestal.
  • FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section taken through the center of the structure of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a pair of base members.
  • FIG. 4 is a fairly enlarged perspective view of one manifold pedestal
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a connecting frame element for coupling the manifold pedestals, said element being shown in a size corresponding to the manifold pedestal illustrated in FIG. 4.
  • each of the pedestals 11 arranged to be joinable at the sides is uniformly shaped and is provided at the corners thereof with the longitudinal parallel slots 12, 13, 14 and 15.
  • both flanged edges 17 and 18 of the connecting frame 16 having the same length as the height of the pedestal 11 are respectively fitted into said slot 12 or 14 of a pedestal 11 and slot 13 or 15 of the adjoining pedestal to thereby secure the adjoining pedestals.
  • the connecting frame 16 has an external configuration as shown in FIG. 5 and is generally made of an elastic material so that its fitting into the slots -12, 13, 14 and 15 of a pedestal 11 is made elastically.
  • each pedestal 11 On the surface of each pedestal 11 is formed a mounting face plate 19 on which a valve assembly 39 is seated, and on said mounting face plate are formed a central hole 20 and a desired number of parallel holes 21 which are respectively in communication with the corresponding working holes ⁇ not shown) in the valve assembly 39 when it is mounted. 7
  • a pressure hole 23 opened at the center of each joined side of the pedistal 11 is in communication with said central hole 20 in the inside of the pedestal, and at the opening of said hole 23 is formed a receiving seat 24 for 2. blockade 25 or a gasket 26. Also provided on each jointed side face of the pedestal are a check pin 27 project ed from a certain predetermined position thereon and a hole 28 for receiving a similar check pin from the adjoining pedestal.
  • the mounting base members 32 and 33 form a symmetrical pair, each having the ventical slots 37 and 38 formed at both end portions thereof.
  • the pressure hole 20 and the parallel holes 21 opened at the surface of the pedestal 11 are at one end in communication in a known manner to the corresponding working holes (not shown) of the valve assembly 39 mounted thereon, and at the other end in communication with an outside pressure air source through the air holes ramified from the inside of the pedestal 11.
  • the pedestals 11 and the mounting bases 32 and 33 are thus coupled together to compose a manifold pedestal block for mounting the valve assemblies thereon.
  • the adjoining sides of a desired number of pedestals 11 are joined together, with their respective check pins 27 and 35 being fitted into the corresponding receiving holes 28 and 36 and with a gasket 26 being interposed in the receiving seat 24 of the pressure hole between each adjoining pedestal, thereby to keep the air-tight condition at the pressure; hole junctures.
  • a blocking plate 25 is interposed in said receiving seat 24, the communication of the pressure holes 23 is blockaded at this section, and different pressure supply having no relation to actuation from these pressure holes 23 is made to other valve assemblies (not shown) mounted on other pedestals.
  • pedestals or pressure supply means joined to the particular blockaded pedestal 11 may be optionally removed from the linkage as so desired. It is also possible to effect alternation of the supply system, cessation of actuation, repairs, etc., with no need of changing other operations.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 is shown such a block in which five (5) individual pedestals are coupled together.
  • a suitable blocking plate 25 is interposed in the receiving seat 24 at the juncture of the adjoining pedestals 11, whereby communication between the pressure holes 23 is shut off, insulating the coupled pedestals, while the secondary supply holes 40 of these pedestals are opened, so that if suitable piping from a secondary pressure air source (not shown) is applied thereto, the pressure air different from that supplied to other pedestals is supplied. It is thus possible with the present device to separately supply pressure to each individual pedestal and thereby to conduct the diversified operations by the valve assemblies mounted on the pedestals.
  • Such feature can be realized by dint of the characteristic arrangement of the present invention in which any desired number of uniform pedestals 11 can be joined up, extremely solidly, by an extremely simple means and, on attaining such coupling, the pressure air supply common to each pedestal and breakdown of such supply to the so desired pedestals can be optionally effected, with an additional advantage that separation of any of these pedestals can be easily achieved.
  • the present invention is characterized by its superiority in the economic aspects and rationality in that any desired number of unit pedestals 11 can be joined up in accordance with the number of working mechanisms to compose as a whole an integral block and that the number of such pedestals can be optionally increased or decreased as occasion demands.
  • a manifold pedestal device for mounting valve assemblies thereon characterized in that several uniform pedestals, each being provided in the inside thereof with a pressure air hole, a distribution hole, a secondary supply hole and an air hole, on the surface thereof, with a valve assembly mounting face plate and at the sides thereof with a pressure hole are joined together, and mounting bases coupled to both ends of the train of said joined pedestals to thereby form an integral unitary block.
  • a manifold pedestal device for mounting valve assemblies thereon characterized in that the pedestals have vertical slots formed at the corners of said pedestals and at the end portions of said mounting bases, and connecting frames dovetailed into the vertical slots thereby forming an integral unitary block.
  • a manifold pedestal device for mounting the valve assemblies thereon according to claim 1, wherein the pressure holes of said pedestals are in communication with each other and a gasket is interposed in the receiving seat at the juncture of the adjoining pedestals to thereby maintain an air-tight condition at this juncture.
  • each pressure hole is formed with a receiving seat at the juncture of adjoining pedestals and a blocking plate interposed in the receiving seat so as to selectively close the pressure hole of the desired pedestals.
