1. A vessel pressure regulating system with a multidirectional control valve device, comprising:
a pressure source for providing a pneumatic pressure or a liquid;
the multidirectional control valve device, comprising:
a housing having an interior space, wherein the housing is provided with at least one input port and at least two output port, the at least one input port and the at least two output port are in communication with the interior space, and the at least one input port is in communication with an output end of the pressure source;
an actuation unit provided in the interior space and having a stationary portion and at least one driving portion; and
at least one working element provided in the interior space and controlled by the at least one driving portion so as to open or close the at least two output port;
at least one vessel having an input end in communication with the at least two output port; and
a control unit for controlling operation of the pressure source and of the at least one driving portion;
wherein the stationary portion is provided at an arbitrary position along the actuation unit such that a first driving portion and a second driving portion are formed, and by fine-tuning the position of the stationary portion, the first driving portion and the second driving portion are provided with a same actuating ability or with different actuating abilities respectively;
wherein each of the first driving portion and the second driving portion has at least one independent electrode;
wherein the at least one vessel is an airbag, a gas bag, or a gas cylinder.
