[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. 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 should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by the terms "top", "bottom", "upper", "lower", etc. are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0033] In addition, the terms "second" and "first" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "second" and "first" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0034] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a valve driving device, which is generally used in underwater environments to control the working state of valves in the underwater environment.
[0035] The valve driving device comprises a cylinder body 1, a shell 4 and a cover 5. The two opposite ends of the shell 4 are both provided with openings. The opening at one end of the shell 4 is covered on the cylinder body 1, and the cover 5 is installed at the opening at the other end. The cylinder body 1 is relatively close to the valve body 9 of the valve, or is directly fixedly connected to the valve body 9 of the valve.
[0036] The valve drive device also includes a first drive assembly 2 and a second drive assembly 3. The first drive assembly 2 is installed inside the cylinder body 1 and the housing 4. The operator can control the piston 22 and the drive rod 21 of the first drive assembly 2 to perform corresponding actions by adjusting the medium pressure inside the cylinder body 1, thereby changing the working state of the valve and realizing automatic control of the working state of the valve. The above medium is generally liquid or gas, such as hydraulic oil or compressed air. The operating member 31 of the second drive assembly 3 is at least partially located outside the cylinder body 1. The operator can operate the operating member 31 outside the cylinder body 1 to control the piston 22 and the drive rod 21 of the first drive assembly 2 to perform corresponding actions, thereby changing the working state of the valve and realizing manual control of the working state of the valve. In the case where the operator cannot adjust the medium pressure inside the cylinder body 1, the operator is provided with an additional valve control means.
[0037] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the first drive assembly 2 includes a drive rod 21, a piston 22 and a first transmission mechanism. A portion of the drive rod 21 and the piston 22 is located in the accommodating chamber 11 of the cylinder body 1, and the other portion penetrates the housing 4 and extends to a position close to the cover body 5. The end of the drive rod 21 away from the cover body 5 is used to connect to the valve stem 93 of the valve, and then can transmit its own rotational motion to the valve stem 93 to drive the valve stem 93 to rotate, thereby changing the working state of the valve. The piston 22 is sleeved on the drive rod 21. When the medium is input or output to the inside of its accommodating chamber 11 through the medium flow channel 12 on the cylinder body 1, the medium pressure in the accommodating chamber 11 can be changed, thereby driving the piston 22 to move linearly along the drive rod 21. When the piston 22 moves linearly along the drive rod 21, the linear motion of the piston 22 can be converted into the rotational motion of the drive rod 21 through the first transmission mechanism, thereby causing the drive rod 21 to drive the valve stem 93 of the valve to rotate, thereby changing the working state of the valve.
[0038] Since the first transmission mechanism has the function of converting linear motion into rotational motion, the first transmission mechanism can theoretically be a rack and pinion mechanism, a ball screw mechanism, a crank slider mechanism, a screw transmission mechanism, a cam mechanism or a pulley mechanism.
[0039] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, based on comprehensive considerations of transmission efficiency, transmission accuracy and transmission difficulty, the first transmission mechanism uses a spiral transmission mechanism. Specifically, the first transmission mechanism includes a plug-in spiral groove 221 and a transmission member 211, the spiral groove 221 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the piston 22, the axial direction of the spiral groove 221 is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the piston 22, the transmission member 211 is provided on the peripheral wall of the transmission rod, and is inserted into the spiral groove 221 substantially along the radial direction of the drive rod 21.
[0040] Furthermore, the piston 22 is restricted by the first anti-rotation mechanism and cannot perform rotational motion, but can only perform linear motion along the driving rod 21 .
[0041] When the piston 22 makes a linear motion along the driving rod 21, under the guidance of the spiral groove 221, the transmission member 211 has a movement tendency to move along the spiral groove 221. Since the piston 22 cannot rotate, the spiral groove 221 drives the transmission member 211 to rotate. The transmission member 211 transmits its own rotational motion to the driving rod 21. The driving rod 21 rotates synchronously with the transmission member 211. The driving rod 21 finally drives the valve stem 93 to rotate synchronously with it, thereby changing the working state of the valve.
[0042] It should be noted that the positions of the spiral groove 221 and the transmission member 211 in the above embodiments are conventional choices in practical applications. For those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, the positions of the spiral groove 221 and the transmission member 211 are swapped, that is, the spiral groove 221 is set on the drive rod 21, and the transmission member 211 is set on the piston 22, which should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
[0043] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 As shown, in order to facilitate the assembly of the driving rod 21 and the piston 22, the spiral groove 221 penetrates the peripheral wall of the piston 22, and a hole for inserting the transmission member 211 is provided at a corresponding position of the peripheral wall of the driving rod 21. When installing, the driving rod 21 and the piston 22 can be sleeved together first, and then installed from the outside of the piston 22 to the transmission member 211 into the hole on the peripheral wall of the transmission member 211.
[0044] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the reset of the piston 22 after movement, the first driving assembly 2 also includes a first seat body 23, a second seat body 24 and a reset elastic member 25 installed in the housing 4. The reset elastic member 25 is arranged between the first seat body 23 and the second seat body 24. The first seat body 23 is sleeved on the piston 22 and abuts against the inner end surface of the cylinder body 1. The second seat body 24 is arranged close to the inner end surface of the cover body 5. The piston 22 is provided with a radially protruding first stopper 26, which is constructed as an annular structure, and the first stopper 26 abuts against the end surface of the second seat body 24 close to the housing 4.
[0045] When the medium pressure in the accommodating chamber 11 inside the cylinder body 1 changes, the piston 22 moves toward the valve, and the piston 22 drives the second seat 24 to move synchronously through the first stopper 26 to squeeze the reset elastic member 25. When the medium pressure in the accommodating chamber 11 inside the cylinder body 1 returns to the original level, the reset elastic member 25 rebounds and drives the piston 22 to move toward the cover body 5.
[0046] Optionally, the resetting elastic member 25 is a spring.
[0047] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the first anti-rotation mechanism includes a plug-in first anti-rotation protrusion 222 and a first anti-rotation groove 231. The first anti-rotation protrusion 222 is arranged on the outer periphery of the piston 22 and extends approximately along the radial direction of the piston 22. The first seat body 23 is fixedly covered on the cylinder body 1, and the first anti-rotation groove 231 is opened on the inner peripheral wall of the first seat body 23 and extends approximately along the direction parallel to the axial direction of the piston 22 to provide axial movement space for the first anti-rotation protrusion 222 and limit the rotation of the first anti-rotation protrusion 222, thereby limiting the rotation of the piston 22.
[0048] It should be noted that the positions of the first anti-rotation protrusion 222 and the first anti-rotation groove 231 in the above embodiments are conventional choices in practical applications. For those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, the positions of the first anti-rotation protrusion 222 and the first anti-rotation groove 231 are swapped, that is, the first anti-rotation protrusion 222 is arranged on the first seat body 23, and the first anti-rotation groove 231 is arranged on the piston 22, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
[0049] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the second drive assembly 3 includes an operating member 31, a driving member 32 and a second transmission mechanism. The operating member 31 is located outside the cylinder 1 and the housing 4, and the driving member 32 is connected to the piston 22. The operating member 31 and the driving member 32 are connected through the second transmission mechanism.
[0050] The second transmission mechanism has the function of converting rotational motion into linear motion. When the operator turns the operating member 31, the second transmission mechanism can convert the rotational motion of the operating member 31 into linear motion of the driving member 32 along the axial direction of the piston 22, thereby driving the piston 22 to move linearly along the driving rod 21, and finally making the valve stem 93 of the valve rotate synchronously with the driving rod 21, thereby changing the working state of the valve.
[0051] Since the second transmission mechanism has the function of converting rotational motion into linear motion, the second transmission mechanism can theoretically also be a rack and pinion mechanism, a ball screw mechanism, a crank slider mechanism, a screw transmission mechanism, a cam mechanism or a pulley mechanism.
[0052] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, based on comprehensive considerations of transmission efficiency, transmission accuracy, transmission difficulty and operating difficulty, the second transmission mechanism uses a spiral transmission mechanism. Specifically, a threaded hole 321 is formed on the driving member 32 for the operating member 31 to pass through, and the operating member 31 is inserted into the threaded hole 321. The second transmission mechanism includes a first thread and a second thread, the first thread is an external thread, the second thread is an internal thread, the first thread and the second thread are threadedly matched, the first thread is arranged on the circumferential outer wall of the operating member 31, and the second thread is arranged on the circumferential hole wall of the threaded hole 321 of the driving member 32.
[0053] Furthermore, the driving member 32 is restricted by the second anti-rotation mechanism and cannot perform rotational motion, but can only perform linear motion along the axial direction of the piston 22 .
[0054] When the operator turns the operating member 31, since the driving member 32 cannot rotate, the friction between the first thread and the second thread drives the rotating member to move axially along the piston 22, and then drives the piston 22 to move linearly along the driving rod 21, thereby changing the working state of the valve.
[0055] Based on the above structural design, it can be seen that the operation mode of the second driving assembly 3 is extremely convenient, the transmission efficiency is high, the structural stability is strong, and each component can still maintain a stable transmission relationship after long-term use.
[0056] It should be noted that the positions of the first thread and the second thread in the above embodiments are conventional choices in practical applications. For those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, swapping the positions of the first thread and the second thread, that is, the first thread is set on the driving member 32 and the second thread is set on the operating member 31, should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
[0057] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown, in order to simplify the transmission relationship between the driving member 32 and the piston 22 , the driving member 32 is abutted against the piston 22 along the axial direction of the piston 22 .
[0058] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the cover body 5 is provided with a through hole 51 for the driving member 32 to pass through, and the second anti-rotation mechanism includes a second anti-rotation protrusion 322 and a second anti-rotation groove 52 that are plug-in compatible. The second anti-rotation protrusion 322 is arranged on the circumferential outer wall of the operating member 31, and the second anti-rotation groove 52 is arranged on the circumferential hole wall of the through hole 51. The second anti-rotation groove 52 extends roughly along a direction parallel to the axial direction of the through hole 51, providing a certain axial movement space for the second anti-rotation protrusion 322, and limiting the rotation of the second anti-rotation protrusion 322, thereby limiting the rotation of the driving member 32.
[0059] It should be noted that the positions of the second anti-rotation protrusion 322 and the second anti-rotation groove 52 in the above embodiments are conventional choices in practical applications. For those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, the positions of the second anti-rotation protrusion 322 and the second anti-rotation groove 52 are swapped, that is, the second anti-rotation protrusion 322 is arranged on the circumferential hole wall of the through hole 51, and the second anti-rotation groove 52 is arranged on the driving member 32, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
[0060] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the valve driving device further includes a flange 6 facing the through hole 51 and mounted on the cover body 5. To facilitate the installation of the operating member 31, the operating member 31 is composed of a knob portion 311 and a shaft portion 312. The knob portion 311 is located outside the housing 4, and the shaft portion 312 is connected to the knob portion 311 and the driving member 32. The shaft portion 312 also penetrates the flange 6 and is penetrated in the through hole 51 of the cover body 5.
[0061] Specifically, torque is transmitted between the knob portion 311 and the shaft portion 312 via a torque transmission structure. The end of the shaft portion 312 away from the driving member 32 is roughly constructed as a cubic structure and inserted into the knob portion 311 to achieve torque transmission between the two.
[0062] Furthermore, in order to stably connect the knob portion 311 and the shaft portion 312 together and prevent relative movement between the two in the axial direction, a latch structure is inserted in the radial direction of the knob portion 311 and the shaft portion 312, and the latch structure is used to stably connect the knob portion 311 and the shaft portion 312 together.
[0063] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the shaft portion 312 includes a first shaft segment 3121 and a second shaft segment 3122 . The first shaft segment 3121 is inserted into the through hole 51 of the cover body 5 and threadedly cooperates with the driving member 32 . The second shaft segment 3122 passes through the flange 6 and is connected to the knob portion 311 .
[0064] Since part of the second shaft section 3122 extends to the outside of the housing 4, it is easily corroded when used in an underwater environment for a long time. Based on the above reasons, the first shaft section 3121 and the second shaft section 3122 are made of different materials, wherein the second shaft section 3122 is made of a corrosion-resistant material, so as to ensure that the second shaft section 3122 has relatively better corrosion resistance and improve the overall service life of the operating member 31.
[0065] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 4As shown, in order to limit the axial movement of the operating member 31, a radially protruding second stop portion 3123 is provided on the shaft portion 312 of the operating member 31, and the second stop portion 3123 is constructed as an annular structure. A third stop portion 53 is formed in the through hole 51, and the second stop portion 3123 is supported between the third stop portion 53 and the flange 6, thereby limiting the axial movement of the operating member 31 and fixing the position of the operating member 31, so as to facilitate the operator to apply torque to the operating member 31.
[0066] Furthermore, the shaft portion 312 of the operating member 31 is axially abutted against the driving rod 21 , and the axial position of the operating member 31 is again restricted by the driving rod 21 .
[0067] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in order to stably connect the first shaft segment 3121 and the second shaft segment 3122 together and prevent relative movement between the two in the axial direction, a pin structure is inserted in the radial direction of the first shaft segment 3121 and the second shaft segment 3122, and the first shaft segment 3121 and the second shaft segment 3122 are stably connected together by the pin structure.
[0068] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the valve driving device further includes a pressure balancer 7 , which is mounted on the housing 4 and communicated with the cavity inside the housing 4 for balancing the pressure inside the housing 4 .
[0069] When the external environmental pressure exceeds the pressure balance limit of the pressure balancer 7, the pressure balancer 7 allows a small amount of external medium to enter the interior of the housing 4 through the inlet safety valve to compensate for this part of the pressure. When the internal pressure of the housing 4 exceeds the pressure balance limit, the excess pressure medium in the housing 4 is also allowed to be discharged from the housing 4 through the outlet safety valve.
[0070] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the valve driving device further includes a pointer assembly 8, which is mounted on the cover body 5 and connected to the second seat body 24. The position of the pointer 81 of the pointer assembly 8 is changed by the linear motion of the second seat body 24, so that when the second seat body 24 is located at different positions (i.e., the valve stem 93 of the valve rotates to different angles), the pointer 81 of the pointer assembly 8 can point to different scale marks, so that the operator can judge the current working state of the valve by the direction of the pointer.
[0071] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the present invention further provides a valve, which includes a valve body 9 and the valve driving device in the above embodiment, wherein the valve body 9 includes a valve seat 91, a valve plate 92 and a valve stem 93. The valve seat 91 is fixedly connected to the cylinder body 1 by bolts, the valve plate 92 is arranged inside the valve seat 91, one end of the valve stem 93 is connected to the valve plate 92, and the other end is connected to the driving rod 21. When the driving rod 21 rotates, the valve plate 92 can be driven to rotate by the valve stem 93 to change the working state of the valve.
[0072] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention.
