The present invention relates to a multiport valve, a temperature management system using the multiport valve, and an integrated module comprising the multiport valve, which can systematically control the temperature of a battery or electric/electronic components according to outside air temperature conditions of a vehicle, and the multiport valve according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: an upper port part having an upper housing in which a plurality of upper flow path ports are formed; a lower port part coupled to the bottom portion of the upper port part about the same center axis as the upper port part, and having a lower housing in which a plurality of lower flow path ports are formed; and a valve body accommodated in the inner space, formed by the upper housing and the lower housing, to be rotatable about the center axis and having upper and lower connection holes which are formed in the upper and lower portions thereof to communicate with the upper flow path ports and the lower flow path ports respectively, wherein, according to rotation of the valve body, at least one pair of the neighboring upper flow path ports or lower flow path ports communicates with each other. La présente invention concerne une vanne multivoies, un système de gestion de température utilisant la vanne multivoies et un module intégré comprenant la vanne multivoies, qui peuvent commander systématiquement la température d'une batterie ou de composants électriques/électroniques en fonction des conditions de température de l'air extérieur d'un véhicule et la vanne multivoies selon un mode de réalisation de la présente invention comprend : une partie de voie supérieure ayant un boîtier supérieur dans lequel une pluralité de voies de trajet d'écoulement supérieures sont formées ; une partie de voie inférieure accouplée à la partie inférieure de la partie de voie supérieure autour du même axe central que la partie de voie supérieure et ayant un boîtier inférieur dans lequel une pluralité de voies de trajet d'écoulement inférieures sont formées ; et un corps de vanne logé dans l'espace interne, formé par le boîtier supérieur et le boîtier inférieur, de façon à pouvoir tourner autour de l'axe central et ayant des trous de raccordement supérieur et inférieur qui sont formés dans les parties supérieure et inférieure de celui-ci pour communiquer avec les voies de trajet d'écoulement supérieures et les voies de trajet d'écoulement inférieures respectivement, en fonction de la rotation du corps de vanne, au moins une paire des voies de trajet d'écoulement supérieures ou des voies de trajet d'écoulement inférieures voisines communiquent l'une avec l'autre. 본 발명은 차량의 외기 온도 조건에 따라 배터리 또는 전장부품의 온도를 유기적으로 제어할 수 있는 멀티포트밸브, 멀티포트밸브를 이용한 온도 관리 시스템 및 멀티포트밸브를 포함한 통합 모듈에 관한 것으로, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 멀티포트밸브는, 다수개의 상부 유로 포트가 형성된 상부 하우징을 갖는 상부 포트부; 상기 상부 포트부와 동일 중심축을 중심으로 하부에 결합되고, 다수개의 하부 유로 포트가 형성된 하부 하우징을 갖는 하부 포트부; 및 상기 상부 하우징 및 하부 하우징에 의해 형성된 내부공간에 상기 중심축을 중심으로 회전가능하게 수용되고, 상부와 하부에는 각각 상부 유로 포트 및 하부 유로 포트와 연통되는 상하부 연결구가 형성되는 밸브바디;를 포함하고, 상기 밸브바디의 회전에 따라 이웃하는 상부 유로 포트 또는 하부 유로 포트 중 적어도 어느 한 쌍이 연통되는 것을 특징으로 한다.
