[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 4 ,An electric actuator based on precise control technology, comprising, a housing 1;
[0030] Connecting pipes 2 are provided on both sides of the housing 1, and the connecting pipes 2 are connected to external pipelines;
[0031] A support cover 3 is provided on the top of the housing 1, and a valve shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the support cover 3 through a bearing;
[0032] The bottom end of the valve shaft 4 passes through the housing 1 and is connected to a valve core 5 movably connected to the housing 1. By rotating the valve shaft 4, the valve core 5 can rotate in the housing 1, changing the opening of the valve core 5, and thus adjusting the speed of the fluid passing through. The valve shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 through a bearing, which can improve the stability of the valve shaft 4 during rotation. By rotating the valve shaft 4, the valve core 5 can be driven to rotate, thereby changing the opening of the valve core 5.
[0033] A fixed cover 6 is provided on the top of the support cover 3, and the top end of the valve shaft 4 is located in the fixed cover 6;
[0034] A motor 7 is provided in the fixed cover 6, and a transmission assembly connected to the output end of the motor 7 is provided at the top of the valve shaft 4. The transmission assembly is driven by the motor 7 to rotate the valve shaft 4.
[0035] An indicator assembly is provided on the top of the valve shaft 4;
[0036] A mounting assembly is provided on the top of the fixed cover 6, and an identification assembly that cooperates with the indication assembly is provided on the mounting assembly;
[0037] A controller 21 is provided on the top of the fixed cover 6 , and the controller 21 is electrically connected to the motor 7 , and the motor 7 is controlled by the controller 21 .
[0038] The transmission assembly includes an output shaft 8 connected to the output end of the motor 7, an output pulley 9 is sleeved on the output shaft 8, a transmission pulley 10 is sleeved on the valve shaft 4, and the transmission pulley 10 is located in the fixed cover 6, and a transmission belt 11 connected to the output pulley 9 is provided on the transmission pulley 10. The output shaft 8 is controlled to rotate by the motor 7, so that the output pulley 9 rotates, and then the transmission pulley 10 is driven to rotate by the transmission belt 11, which can drive the valve shaft 4 to rotate. The transmission belt 11 is a circular rubber belt, and the inner cross-sectional width of the belt is smaller than the outer cross-sectional width, and the output pulley 9 and the transmission pulley 10 are provided with a connecting groove that matches the transmission belt 11.
[0039] The bottom end of the output shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the fixed cover 6 via a bearing, so that the stability of the output shaft 8 during rotation can be improved.
[0040] The support rail 14 is arranged on the fixed cover 6, the spring 15 is arranged on the support rail 14, and the front side of the spring 15 is provided with a support bearing seat 13 which is in sliding connection with the support rail 14, the extrusion wheel 12 is rotatably connected to the support bearing seat 13, and the front side of the extrusion wheel 12 is in contact with the transmission belt 11. The spring 15 applies a forward force to the support bearing seat 13, so that the extrusion wheel 12 moves forward, drives the transmission belt 11 to be tensioned, and the loosening of the transmission belt 11 can be avoided to affect the rotation of the valve shaft 4.
[0041] The indicating assembly comprises a rotating shaft 16 arranged at the top end of the valve shaft 4, and a sharp cone 17 sleeved on the rotating shaft 16. When the valve shaft 4 rotates, the rotating shaft 16 can drive the sharp cone 17 to rotate.
[0042] The identifying assembly comprises two groups of installation rods 20 which are identical in structure, the bottom ends of the two groups of installation rods 20 are connected with the mounting ring 18, the inner wall of the mounting ring 18 is uniformly provided with laser range finders 19 which are electrically connected with the controller 21, and the laser range finders 19 are at the same height as the sharp cone 17. The positions of the laser range finders 19 correspond to the multiple opening degrees of the valve core 5 in turn. When the valve core 5 rotates to the required opening degree, the distance between the sharp cone 17 and the laser range finder 19 is the shortest, which is the set value recognized by the controller 21. When the opening degree of the valve core 5 is changed, the laser range finder 19 corresponding to the required opening degree of the valve core 5 is enabled to work. When the valve shaft 4 rotates, the rotating shaft 16 is driven to rotate, so that the sharp cone 17 rotates. The distance between the sharp cone 17 and the working laser range finder 19 is recognized, and the distance is transmitted to the controller 21 in real time. When the sharp cone 17 rotates to the position of the laser range finder 19 corresponding to the required opening degree, that is, when the distance between the sharp cone 17 and the working laser range finder 19 meets the set value, the motor 7 is stopped by the controller 21. At this time, the opening degree of the valve core 5 is the required opening degree, so that the accurate control of the opening degree of the valve core 5 can be realized.
[0043] Example 2
[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3The mounting assembly includes a top plate 22 that is fitted and connected to the top of the fixed cover 6. The fixed cover 6 can support the top plate 22. A connecting block 23 that passes through the fixed cover 6 is provided at the bottom of the top plate 22. The bottom sides of the connecting block 23 are respectively connected to two sets of mounting rods 20, so that the mounting ring 18 can be assembled together. In order to fix the top plate 22, a magnetic seat 24 is evenly arranged in an annular direction at the bottom of the top plate 22, and the magnetic seat 24 is adsorbed and connected to the top of the fixed cover 6. By being adsorbed and connected to the fixed cover 6 through the magnetic seat 24, the top plate 22 can be fixed to the fixed cover 6. The connecting block 23 passes through the fixed cover 6, so that a through hole needs to be opened on the top of the fixed cover 6. This through hole can be used to remove the identification component, so as to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of each laser rangefinder 19.
[0045] The rest of the structure is the same as that of Example 1.
[0046] Usage process: The output shaft 8 is controlled by the motor 7 to rotate, so that the output pulley 9 rotates, and then the transmission pulley 10 is driven to rotate through the transmission belt 11, which can drive the valve shaft 4 to rotate, and then drive the valve core 5 to rotate. The opening of the valve core 5 is changed by the rotation of the valve core 5. When the opening of the valve core 5 is changed, the laser rangefinder 19 corresponding to the required opening of the valve core 5 is activated. The valve shaft 4 rotates, so that the rotating shaft 16 is driven to follow, so that the pointed cone 17 can be rotated. The working laser rangefinder 19 identifies the distance to the tip of the pointed cone 17 and transmits the distance to the controller 21 in real time for processing. When the pointed cone 17 rotates to the position of the laser rangefinder 19 corresponding to the required opening, that is, when the working laser rangefinder 19 identifies that the distance between the laser rangefinder 19 and the tip of the pointed cone 17 meets the set value, the controller 21 controls the motor 7 to stop working, thereby achieving precise control of the opening of the valve core 5.
