MANIFOLD CONNECTING MECHANISM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily connect manifolds to each other to which a solenoid valve is attached. SOLUTION: Fitting holes 34a and 34b are respectively formed on a body 18 of the manifold 12a to which the solenoid valve is attached on both sides of an upper surface thereof separated from an axis of the body 18 in a predetermined distance. First and second protruding parts 38 and 40 protruding to the predetermined length are formed on a side surface thereof on a position confronting first and second positioning holes 46 and 48 formed on the manifolds 12a and 12b adjacent to each other. A connecting pin 14 having a U-shaped cross section is inserted into the fitting hole 34a of the body 18 and the fitting hole 34b of the adjacent manifold 12b. A connecting plate 16 having a U-shaped cross section is attached so as to integrally fit the other end of the body 18 to the fitting protruding part formed on the other end of the adjacent manifold 12b.
