AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing manifolds either lack the ability to pressure-feed fluid to multiple flow paths or require an external pump, leading to increased size and complexity.
Method used
A manifold design incorporating a housing with integrated screw pump and flow path switching valve, allowing pressurized fluid to be directed to selected flow paths while maintaining a compact size.
Benefits of technology
Enables pressure-fed fluid distribution to multiple flow paths without increasing the manifold's size, using a screw pump that is smaller than impeller-based pumps, and simplifies the drive structure.

Abstract
To provide a manifold which sends a compressed fluid to a selected passage and enables downsizing.SOLUTION: A manifold includes: a housing H having a plurality of passages 8 formed therein and an input port for receiving a fluid in the passage. A screw pump P which sends the fluid flowing from the input port to the passages 8 and a passage switching valve V for controlling flow of the fluid flowing through the passages 8 are housed in the housing H.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
