The proportions of the components are not drawn according to the actual proportions, and the proportions and sizes shown in the accompanying drawings should not limit the substantial technical scheme of the present utility model. These embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the present utility model to only the specific embodiments described.

[0029] See also Figure 1-5 As shown, a new type of integrated valve includes a shell, characterized in that it also includes: a communication module and an integrated valve group, the communication module is installed on the shell through a communication module slot located on the front side of the shell, the integrated valve group includes a plurality of integrated valve blocks, the integrated valve blocks are detachably installed on the shell, and the communication module is electrically connected to the integrated valve group.

[0030] In the field of industrial control and automation, integrated valves play a vital role in controlling the flow of fluids, gases or liquids to achieve precise control and regulation of the system. Traditional integrated valves are usually composed of a fixed number of valve blocks, which are usually fixed together and difficult to flexibly adjust and replace according to actual needs. In addition, traditional integrated valves also have some limitations in terms of communication modules. Communication modules are usually fixedly installed on integrated valves and cannot be flexibly replaced or upgraded as needed. In this context, in view of the limitations of existing technologies in the field of integrated valves, the technical solutions of detachable and combined integrated valve blocks and detachable and installed communication modules designed in the utility model came into being. The outstanding features of this technical solution are its flexibility and customizability. First, the detachable and combined design of the integrated valve block allows users to freely increase or decrease the number of valve blocks according to actual needs, thereby realizing flexible adjustment and optimization of the fluid control system. This flexibility greatly improves the scope of application of the integrated valve, making it easier to cope with changes in the needs of different engineering projects. Secondly, the design of the detachable and installed communication module provides a new solution for the intelligentization and remote control of the integrated valve. The communication module of the traditional integrated valve is usually fixedly installed on the valve body. Once it needs to be upgraded or replaced, it needs to be tediously disassembled and reinstalled. The detachable installation design in the new technical solution makes it easy to replace or upgrade the communication module, which can be achieved with simple operations, thereby greatly saving the time and cost of maintenance and upgrading. In addition, in response to the problem of insufficient number of communication module pins due to too many integrated valves, the technical solution of the utility model proposes a solution of replacing communication modules with more pins. By replacing the communication module, the normal electrical control of the integrated valve system can be ensured, and the control system failure or performance degradation caused by insufficient number of communication module pins can be avoided. Therefore, the detachable integrated valve block and the detachable communication module technical solution designed by the utility model have significant advantages in solving the problems of flexibility and fixity of the communication module in the traditional integrated valve technical solution. This technological breakthrough has brought greater convenience, flexibility and maintainability to the field of industrial control, and is expected to become the development trend and mainstream direction of the integrated valve field in the future.

At the same time, the use of a detachable communication module facilitates the replacement of the communication module and its use in conjunction with the integrated valve. Through the input channel, output channel and related regulating control valves, the integrated valve can accurately control and adjust the fluid. In addition, the filter and detection device inside the integrated component block can provide higher-level functions, such as particle filtration and pressure monitoring. By replacing interfaces with more pins, more points are provided for power supply, and more solenoid valves can be controlled in conjunction with corresponding cables and communication modules. This new integrated valve designed by the utility model has the advantages of flexibility, maintainability and precise control, and provides a more efficient and customizable solution for industrial control and automation systems.
