Abstract:
A manifold valve having a position detecting function and formed by successively piling and integrally connecting a solenoid valve for controlling pressure fluid, a manifold base for supplying said pressure fluid and power to said solenoid valve, and an intermediate block disposed between said solenoid valve and said manifold base,wherein said solenoid valve includes a casing having a mounting face for mounting said solenoid valve to said intermediate block, a valve member for controlling fluid and provided in said casing, solenoid-type driving means for driving said valve member, a plurality of through holes opening in said mounting face of said casing, a magnet for detecting a position and provided to move in synchronization with said valve member, and a depression in which a sensor is to be mounted and which is provided to said mounting face of said casing so as to correspond to said magnet, said manifold base includes a placing face on which said intermediate block is placed, a plurality of through holes opening in said placing face, and a first plug to be connected to a controller for controlling said solenoid valve, and said intermediate block includes a first mounting face on an upper face side and on which said solenoid valve is placed, a second mounting face on a bottom face side for placing said intermediate block on said manifold base, a plurality of connecting holes for connecting said through holes of said solenoid valve and said manifold base to one another, at least one magnetometric sensor disposed in a position on said first mounting face corresponding to said depression formed in said solenoid valve so as to project from said first mounting face toward said solenoid valve and fitted in said depression when said solenoid valve is placed on said first mounting face, and an insertion hole through which a conductor connecting said magnetometric sensor and said first plug is inserted.
