Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of pneumatics, and in particular to a multi-stage position-limiting pneumatic actuator and a position-limiting execution method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Pneumatic actuators are actuators that use air pressure to open, close or adjust valves. They are also called pneumatic actuators or pneumatic devices. They are commonly used actuators in industrial automation control systems and are widely used in various pipelines, containers and equipment.

[0003] Pneumatic actuators include cylinders, rotary actuators and valve actuators, among which valve pneumatic actuators are the most common type.

[0004] After the traditional valve actuator drives the valve to a predetermined angle, it needs to continuously input air pressure to maintain the opening and closing degree of the valve, so that the entire pneumatic actuator is in a continuous working state, resulting in a waste of pneumatic resources. Summary of the invention

[0005] Purpose of the invention: To provide a multi-stage limit pneumatic actuator and a limit execution method thereof to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] Technical solution: A multi-stage limit pneumatic actuator, comprising:

[0008] The actuator comprises an actuator part arranged in the housing, and a first limit part and a second limit part for limiting the movement range of the actuator part;

[0009] The housing also includes an adjusting portion connected to the executing portion, and a transmission portion connected to the adjusting portion and used to adjust the first limiting portion.

[0010] The present invention completes the limiting of the first direction and the second direction of the execution shaft by designing the first limiting part and the second limiting part, and designs the transmission part at the same time, so that when the same adjustment part is in different positions, the limiting strokes of the first limiting part and the second limiting part can be adjusted respectively, and multiple limiting operations can be completed without changing the size of the execution device. Compared with the traditional use of air source to maintain the opening and closing angle of the execution external parts, the present application can abandon the input of air source after the adjustment is completed, which is more cost-effective and has a better limiting effect.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the housing comprises:

[0012] An annular shell, wherein the annular shell is provided with an end airway and a middle airway which are connected with the airway connector, the end airway extends to both ends of the annular shell, and the middle airway extends to the middle position of the annular shell;

[0013] The ring housing is provided with a scale;

[0014] Two sides of the annular shell are provided with notches adapted to the externally connected actuator and the adjusting sleeve. The adjusting gear of the adjusting sleeve is located inside the annular shell, and the adjusting sleeve is located outside the annular shell.

[0015] When the pneumatic piston moves toward, air is taken in through the end air passage and exhaust is discharged through the middle air passage; when the pneumatic piston moves away, air is taken in through the middle air passage and exhaust is discharged through the end air passage.

[0016] The end shell is installed at both ends of the annular shell. An air groove connected with the end air channel is opened in the end shell to discharge the gas in the end air channel into the space between the pneumatic piston and the end to complete the movement of the pneumatic piston.

[0020] Through the eccentrically designed piston groove, different torques can be matched according to the different angles of the external parts, so that the opening and closing effect is better.

[0021] The pneumatic pistons are designed in two groups, which are centrally symmetrical. The ends of the pneumatic pistons are provided with piston rods which are matched with the piston grooves.

[0022] In a further embodiment, the adjusting portion comprises:

[0023] The adjusting sleeve shaft is sleeved on the end of the executing shaft away from the executing external component. The end of the adjusting sleeve shaft is provided with an adjusting step shaft. The adjusting step shaft is provided with adjusting teeth of a predetermined size on the circumference. The length of the adjusting teeth is shorter than the length of the adjusting step shaft.

[0025] The interior of the adjusting sleeve is adapted to the adjusting sleeve shaft and the adjusting step shaft, and the distance of the adjusting tooth grooves is not longer than the adjusting teeth.

[0026] The adjusting sleeve drives the adjusting sleeve shaft to rotate only when the adjusting tooth groove is engaged with the adjusting teeth, and does not drive the adjusting sleeve shaft to rotate when it is disengaged.

When the adjusting end ratchet group works, it cooperates with the first limiting part to complete the first direction limit of the actuator, and the output end ratchet group directly acts on the actuator shaft.

[0039] The adjusting end spike group is designed to cooperate with the first limiting part during operation, so that the first limiting part does not affect the execution axis when adjusting the stroke, thereby avoiding the problem of mutual interference.

[0048] The transmission shaft is arranged in the annular shell, and the two ends of the transmission shaft are respectively provided with an adjustment end transmission belt and an output end transmission belt which are transmission-connected with the adjustment end transmission gear shaft and the adjustment end ratchet shaft.

Compared with the traditional use of air source to maintain the opening and closing angle of the execution external component 322, the present application can abandon the input of air source after the adjustment is completed, which is more cost-effective and has a better limiting effect.

[0137] Working principle description:

[0138] The execution stroke of the adjusting actuator 32 is adjusted. When adjusting, the position of the adjusting sleeve 351 on the adjusting sleeve shaft 354 is adjusted so that the adjusting tooth groove 352 is meshed with the adjusting tooth teeth 356. The adjusting sleeve 351 is rotated to drive the adjusting sleeve shaft 354 to rotate, drive the first limiting gear 315 to rotate, drive the first limiting rack 314 to move, and drive the first limiting block 312 to move to a predetermined position.

[0139] To limit the actuator 32 in the first direction, adjust the position of the adjusting sleeve 351 on the adjusting sleeve shaft 354, so that the adjusting tooth groove 352 is separated from the adjusting tooth teeth 356, and the adjusting gear 353 is meshed with the ratchet shaft transmission gear 348, and the adjusting sleeve 351 is rotated to drive the ratchet shaft transmission gear 348 to rotate, drive the adjusting end ratchet shaft 345 to rotate, drive the adjusting end abutment block 3162 to move, so that the adjusting end abutment block 3162 abuts against the adjusting end ratchet wheel 3161, and when the actuator 32 abuts against the first limiting column 313, the first direction limiting is completed;

[0140] The actuator 32 works, driving the external actuator 322 to select a predetermined angle, injecting gas into the gas circuit connector 2 through an external gas source, and the gas enters the two ends of the pneumatic piston 324 through the end gas channel 111, so that the two pneumatic pistons 324 move close to each other, thereby driving the linkage block 323 to swing, driving the actuator shaft 321 to rotate, until the pneumatic piston 324 abuts against the first limit column 313, driving the external actuator 322 to select a predetermined angle;

[0141] The external executing component 322 is externally connected to the valve, and the valve is opened and closed by rotating the external executing component 322. A slot is provided inside the external executing component 322, and the slot is adapted to connect with the valve stem or valve core of the valve to complete the opening and closing work.

[0142] To limit the actuator 32 in the second direction, adjust the position of the adjusting sleeve 351 on the adjusting sleeve shaft 354, so that the adjusting gear 353 is meshed with the adjusting end transmission gear 343, and the adjusting sleeve 351 is rotated to drive the adjusting end transmission gear 343 to rotate, drive the adjusting end transmission gear shaft 344 to rotate, drive the adjusting end transmission belt 342 to move, drive the transmission shaft 341 to rotate, drive the output end transmission belt 346 to move, drive the output end ratchet shaft 347 to rotate, drive the output end abutment block 3172 to abut against the output end ratchet 3171, and complete the second direction limit of the actuator 32;

[0143] The actuator 32 is limited again. When the actuator 32 is limited in the first direction and the second direction, the limiting bolt 331 is rotated to make the limiting bolt 331 abut against the second limiting block 332 to complete the limiting work of the actuator 32 again. After limiting, in the absence of an air source, the angle of the actuator external component 322 is maintained.
