[0002] The actuator is a commonly used control device in automotive accessories. It is a controller used to control the opening and closing state of the valve body in the exhaust system of the automobile engine. By connecting with the automobile exhaust valve body, the valve body flow can be controlled and adjusted to ensure the coolant flow of the automobile battery pack cooling system and the gas flow of the automobile engine.
[0003] When the existing electric actuator is connected to the valve body, the exhaust pipe passing through the valve body is in a closed state. Therefore, the opening and closing of the valve body and the flow rate regulation can be realized only by controlling the opening and closing degree of the valve body through the controller. However, when the actuator is accidentally powered off or damaged during use, the internal gear set will be stuck in this state, and the control valve connected to the actuator will not be able to regulate the flow rate, and it is impossible to ensure that the valve body has sufficient exhaust flow for gas discharge when the automobile engine exhaust system continues to work, which may easily cause the gas to be unable to be fully discharged, affecting the normal use of the automobile exhaust system.
[0004] An electric actuator for a control valve of an automobile exhaust system is now provided. By arranging a torsion spring connected to a gear set and making the valve body of the actuator in an open state in the initial state, when the actuator is accidentally powered off or damaged, the gear set and the drive shaft can be reset by the rebound of the torsion spring itself, ensuring that the valve body and valve cover of the automobile exhaust system are returned to the open state, ensuring that the automobile exhaust system has sufficient exhaust flow and can be used normally.
