The object is to provide a mixing valve and a mixing device which can more easily control the flow rates of one fluid and another fluid or fluids in comparison with a conventional mixing valve. In a mixing valve 10A in which a main passage 13 through which one fluid f1 passes and at least one subsidiary passage 14 (14A, 14B) through which the other fluids f2, f3 pass are connected via opening/closing valve portions 20A, 20B to open/close communicating openings 18A, 18B, pressure sensors 31, 32, 33 (34) are disposed in the main passage and the subsidiary passages, respectively, to detect the pressures of the fluids passing through the main passage and the subsidiary passages.

What is claimed is: 1. A mixing valve in which a main passage through which one fluid passes is penetrated horizontally from an upstream side of a main body block to a downstream side of the main body block, and at least one subsidiary passage through which other fluids pass is connected to the main passage via an opening/closing valve portion to open/close a communicating opening with a diameter reduced portion as a pressure loss portion, and wherein a valve body of the opening/closing valve portion to open/close a communicating opening is disposed so as to face inside the main passage, and the at least one subsidiary passage is closed by the valve body of the opening/closing valve portion, and wherein a pressure sensor which detects a pressure of the fluid passing through the main passage is disposed in the main body block, and a pressure sensor which detects the other fluids is disposed on the upstream side of the diameter reduced portion of at least one subsidiary passage connecting to the main passage of the main body block. 2. A mixing valve according to claim 1, wherein an opening/closing valve portion for the one fluid is provided in the main passage. 3. A mixing valve according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of pressure sensors are arranged in the main passage via a pressure loss portion. 4. A mixing valve according to claim 3, wherein the pressure loss portion is an orifice. 5. A mixing valve according to claim 1, wherein a passage for a washing fluid is connected to the main passage via the opening/closing valve portion. 6. A mixing valve according to claim 1, wherein there is provided display means to display an open/closed position of the valve body of the opening/closing valve portion. 7. A mixing device comprising the mixing valve described in claim 1; a control valve disposed in a fluid supply passage connected to at least the subsidiary passage of the mixing valve, to control the flow rate or the pressure of a fluid passing through the supply passage; and a controller which calculates based on signals received from the pressure sensor of the mixing valve, to send a signal for maintaining a predetermined mixing ratio to the control valve. 8. A mixing device according to claim 7, further comprising a control valve disposed in a fluid supply passage connected to the main passage of the mixing valve, to control the flow rate or the pressure of a fluid passing through the supply passage.
