Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric actuators, in particular to an electric actuator with stable operation and transmission. Background Art

[0002] Electric actuator is a device that controls mechanical movement through electrical signals. It can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive valves, gears and other mechanical equipment to open, close or adjust. It is widely used in industrial pipeline control, fluid transportation, robotics and other occasions, with the advantages of convenient energy acquisition and fast signal transmission speed.

[0003] Publication number CN220566683U proposes an electric actuator, in which the transmission component is immersed in the lubricating oil in the oil box as a whole, the transmission wear is small, and the transmission component drives two symmetrically arranged worms to rotate through a servo motor using a driving gear and two driven gears. The two worms act on the worm wheel together, driving the worm wheel to rotate in one direction, thereby driving the rotating main shaft to rotate and adjusting the valve. This can further improve the stability of the transmission and increase the service life of the actuator.

[0004] The adjustment handwheel on the manual drive assembly of the above-mentioned patent does not have a limit structure. After the electric actuator determines the use position, the unrestricted adjustment handwheel is prone to accidental touch. The operation transmission of the electric actuator is not stable enough, and the mounting cover is connected to the housing assembly through multiple sets of screws. During disassembly and assembly, it needs to be repeatedly rotated with the help of tools, which is troublesome to operate and inconvenient for staff to disassemble and maintain. For this reason, we propose an electric actuator with stable operation transmission. Summary of the invention

[0010] Furthermore: the disassembly and assembly mechanism comprises a horizontal tie rod slidably connected in the U-shaped seat, and one end of the horizontal tie rod close to the installation cover is connected with a positioning block adapted to the connection groove.

[0011] Furthermore: an auxiliary slide is connected to the tie rod, and the auxiliary slide is slidably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped seat, and the outer wall of the tie rod is sleeved with a compression spring, which is located between the outer side of the auxiliary slide and the inner wall of the U-shaped seat.

[0012] Furthermore: a pull ring is installed at one end of the horizontal tie rod away from the positioning block, and the handheld end of the pull ring is embedded with staggered protrusions.

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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Embodiment 1:

[0021] See also Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a technical solution: an electric actuator with stable operation transmission, comprising an electric actuator body 1, on which a transmission assembly, a temperature control assembly and a manual drive assembly are arranged, a U-shaped frame 2 is installed on the front end surface of the electric actuator body 1, a mounting cover 3 is connected to the U-shaped frame 2, a handle 4 is arranged on the top of the mounting cover 3, and a driving shaft 7 connected to the transmission assembly is arranged in the inner cavity of the mounting cover 3, the front end of the driving shaft 7 passes through the front end surface of the mounting cover 3, and a hand wheel 6 is installed on the driving shaft 7, and a clamping component for limiting the rotation of the driving shaft 7 is arranged in the inner cavity of the mounting cover 3; Publication No. CN220566683U proposes an electric actuator, in which a transmission assembly, a temperature control assembly and a manual drive assembly are mentioned, and the transmission assembly, temperature control assembly and manual drive assembly of the present application are structures in the comparative documents, which are existing structures, and the specific working principle is not elaborated here;

[0022] The U-shaped frame 2 is fixedly connected to the housing of the electric actuator body 1. The rotation of the hand wheel 6 can drive the drive shaft 7 to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the electric actuator body 1. After the electric actuator body 1 determines the use position, the clamping component can play a role in clamping and limiting the rotation of the drive shaft 7, thereby avoiding the electric actuator from being accidentally touched when not in use, and further improving the stability of the electric actuator operation transmission;

[0023] A through opening 17 is provided on the left side wall of the U-shaped frame 2, a connecting groove 13 connected to the through opening 17 is provided on the left side wall of the mounting cover 3, a U-shaped seat 5 is connected to the left outer wall of the U-shaped frame 2, and a disassembly and assembly mechanism for fixing the connecting groove 13 is provided in the U-shaped seat 5; the U-shaped seat 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the U-shaped frame 2, and the disassembly and assembly mechanism realizes the rapid disassembly and assembly of the mounting cover 3 and the U-shaped frame 2, replacing the traditional method of fixing with screws, and does not require the use of tools to rotate, which is convenient for the staff to disassemble and maintain.

[0024] Among them, preferably, the clamping component includes a lower arc-shaped friction seat 8, which is connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the mounting cover 3, and the lower arc-shaped friction seat 8 is in contact with the outer wall of the driving shaft 7. The clamping component also includes an L-shaped plate 9, which is located at the top of the mounting cover 3, and an adjusting screw 10 is vertically threadedly connected to the L-shaped plate 9, and the bottom of the adjusting screw 10 is movably connected to an upper arc-shaped friction plate 11 of the limited driving shaft 7; the bottom end of the adjusting screw 10 is movably connected to the upper arc-shaped friction plate 11 through a bearing, and when the hand wheel 6 and the driving shaft 7 are rotated, the upper arc-shaped friction plate 11 does not fit with the outer wall of the driving shaft 7, and the hand wheel 6 can drive the driving shaft 7 to rotate. After determining the use position of the electric actuator body 1, the adjusting screw 10 is rotated to drive the upper arc-shaped friction plate 11 to move downward, and cooperate with the action of the lower arc-shaped friction seat 8. The friction force between the two when in contact with the outer wall of the driving shaft 7 is large, and the driving shaft 7 can no longer rotate.

[0025] Preferably, the disassembly and assembly mechanism includes a tie rod 14 slidably connected in the U-shaped seat 5, and one end of the tie rod 14 close to the mounting cover 3 is connected to a positioning block 18 adapted to the connecting groove 13; the tie rod 14 and the positioning block 18 are fixedly connected.

At this time, the installation cover 3 can be smoothly installed on the U-shaped frame 2. When the through opening 17 is aligned with the connecting groove 13, the tie rod 14 is released, and the compressed compression spring 16 automatically returns to its original position, and the positioning block 18 can be moved through the through opening 17 and connected to the connecting groove 13, thus completing the installation of the U-shaped frame 2 and the installation cover 3. When disassembling, the tie rod 14 is pulled outward to disengage the positioning block 18 from the connecting groove 13, and the installation cover 3 can be disengaged from the U-shaped frame 2 after its position is no longer restricted.
