Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of valve opening and closing devices, and particularly relates to a valve opening device. Background Art

[0002] During industrial operations, operators often need to perform the valve opening operation by turning the valve handwheel. According to different valves, the size specifications of the handwheels are also different. For those handwheels with relatively large torque or that need to be rotated multiple turns to be fully opened or closed, manual operation is often very inconvenient, requiring a large amount of manpower and having a low operation efficiency. To solve this problem, some electric valve opening devices have also emerged on the market. For example, a portable valve opener disclosed in a Chinese utility model patent (authorized announcement number: CN209062970U) includes an electric wrench, a wrench adapter, a ratchet drive head, a spoke, and a valve opener head; the electric wrench, the wrench adapter, the spoke, and the valve opener head are sequentially combined and connected, and the ratchet drive head is arranged between the spoke and the valve opener head or between the wrench adapter and the spoke; when opening the valve, the valve opener fixes the valve opener head on the valve handwheel and drives the valve handwheel to rotate by controlling the rotation of the valve opener head. The valve opener head includes a bracket and a plurality of mechanical claws installed on the bracket. When opening the valve, each adjacent two mechanical claws are fixed on both sides of a spoke of the valve handwheel; a joint for connecting with the spoke or the ratchet drive head is arranged on the bracket, and the bracket is connected with the spoke or the ratchet drive head through this joint. When the valve handwheel includes 3 spokes, the number of mechanical claws on the bracket of the valve opener head can be 6. The valve opening head acts on the circumference of the valve handwheel through a plurality of mechanical claws. A plurality of sub-brackets are circumferentially and equally spaced at the center of the bracket. When the valve handwheel includes 3 spokes, the sub-brackets can be 6; the joint for connecting with the spoke or the ratchet drive head on the bracket is arranged at the center of the bracket; each mechanical claw is respectively installed on each sub-bracket, and each mechanical claw is perpendicular to the plane where the bracket is located, or the end of each mechanical claw away from the sub-bracket inclines towards the center of the bracket. By adopting an electric method, the operation becomes convenient and fast. However, for handwheels of different sizes and specifications, the size and number of spokes are different. When the number of spokes changes, the number of mechanical claws and sub-brackets needs to be adjusted accordingly. In practical applications, this adjustment may be relatively cumbersome, reducing the versatility of the device. Therefore, it is necessary to make improvements. Summary of the Invention

A part of the electric wrench is arranged in the frame structure.

[0011] Further, a first through hole is arranged at the center of the outer ring tooth ferrule, and a second through hole is arranged at the center of the inner ring tooth ferrule. The first through hole and the second through hole are coaxially arranged.

[0012] Further, the ferrule assembly further includes an input shaft and a gear disk. A bevel gear head that meshes with the gear disk is arranged at the output end of the input shaft, and the gear disk is drivingly connected to the outer ring tooth ferrule.

[0013] Further, an internal gear ring portion is provided on the inner wall of the toothed disc, and an external gear ring portion meshing with the internal gear ring portion is provided on the outer ring gear sleeve.

[0014] Further, the sleeve assembly further includes a gland and a shield. The gland and the shield are detachably and fixedly connected.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: For a valve opening device of the present invention, an electric actuator and a sleeve assembly are provided. The electric actuator drives the sleeve assembly to rotate. The sleeve assembly cooperates with the valve handwheel to drive the valve handwheel to rotate. The sleeve assembly includes an outer ring gear sleeve and an inner ring gear sleeve. The outer ring gear sleeve is sleeved outside the inner ring gear sleeve and can rotate relative to the inner ring gear sleeve. A plurality of kidney-shaped holes are arranged along the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral wall of the outer ring gear sleeve. The kidney-shaped holes allow the outer ring gear sleeve to rotate within a certain angle. Connecting screws are arranged in the kidney-shaped holes.

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] As Figures 1 - 12A valve opening device shown includes an electric actuator 1 and a ferrule assembly 2. The ferrule assembly 2 is detachably and fixedly connected to the electric actuator 1. The electric actuator 1 drives the ferrule assembly 2 to rotate. The electric actuator 1 includes an electric wrench 11, and the output end of the electric wrench 11 is in transmission connection with the input end of the ferrule assembly 2 to transmit power. The ferrule assembly 2 includes an outer ring tooth ferrule 21 and an inner ring tooth ferrule 22. The outer ring tooth ferrule 21 is sleeved outside the inner ring tooth ferrule 22 and can rotate relative to the inner ring tooth ferrule 22. A plurality of kidney-shaped holes 211 are arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the outer ring tooth ferrule 21 along the circumferential direction. Specifically, the kidney-shaped holes 211 extend along the circumferential direction of the outer ring tooth ferrule 21. The kidney-shaped holes 211 allow the outer ring tooth ferrule 21 to rotate within a certain angle. Connecting screws 212 are arranged in the kidney-shaped holes 211. The outer ring tooth ferrule 21 is connected to the inner ring tooth ferrule 22 through the connecting screws 212. The position of the outer ring tooth ferrule 21 is fixed by tightening the connecting screws 212. A plurality of first tooth grooves 213 are arranged on the outer peripheral edge of the outer ring tooth ferrule 21 along the circumferential direction. A plurality of second tooth grooves 221 that are matched with the first tooth grooves 213 are arranged on the outer peripheral edge of the inner ring tooth ferrule 22 along the circumferential direction. Both the first tooth grooves 213 and the second tooth grooves 221 are inclined. The inclination direction of the first tooth grooves 213 is opposite to the inclination direction of the second tooth grooves 221. The first tooth grooves 213 and the second tooth grooves 221 cooperate to clamp the valve handwheel 31. The design that the inclination direction of the first tooth grooves 213 is opposite to the inclination direction of the second tooth grooves 221 can prevent the ferrule assembly 2 from being undesirably loosened from the valve handwheel 31. When the electric actuator 1 works, it drives the ferrule assembly 2 to rotate, drives the valve handwheel 31 to rotate, and thus realizes the opening operation of the valve. Compared with the traditional manual operation method, the electric valve opening method significantly improves the valve opening efficiency. It is not only more convenient to operate, but also can complete the valve opening in a short time, greatly improving the work efficiency. Specifically, refer to Figure 1The valve handwheel 31 includes a handwheel inner circle 311 and a handwheel outer circle 312. The handwheel inner circle 311 and the handwheel outer circle 312 are fixedly connected by a spoke 313. The first tooth groove 213 cooperates with the second tooth groove 221 to form an adjustable clamping gap. In actual operation, first loosen the connecting screw 212, then rotate the outer ring gear sleeve 21 to increase the clamping gap, and then put the sleeve assembly 2 on the valve handwheel 31 so that the clamping gap corresponds to the spoke 313, and then rotate the outer ring gear sleeve 21 to adjust the clamping gap. The valve handwheel 31 is clamped with a small clamping gap. This design enables the ferrule assembly 2 to adapt to valve handwheels 31 with spokes 313 of different sizes. In addition, by providing multiple first tooth grooves 213 and multiple second tooth grooves 221, the ferrule assembly 2 can adapt to valve handwheels 31 with different numbers of spokes 313. By matching the outer ring gear ferrule 21 with the inner ring gear ferrule 22, the ferrule assembly 2 can adapt to valve handwheels 31 of various specifications, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the quick-release valve opening device.

[0032] The valve opening device described in the present invention is suitable for an electric actuator 3. A conventional electric actuator 3 is usually provided with a valve handwheel 31. The operator realizes the valve opening operation by turning the valve handwheel 31. The valve stem of a part of the electric actuator 3 directly passes through the valve handwheel 31, forming a coaxial rigid connection with the valve handwheel 31 (such as keyway matching or threaded fixation). The valve handwheel 31 is directly sleeved on the extended end of the valve stem. When the valve handwheel 31 is rotated, the valve stem rotates or rises and falls synchronously, directly driving the valve opening and closing components. In addition, the valve stem of another part of the electric actuator 3 does not need to pass through the valve handwheel 31, and the valve handwheel 31 indirectly drives the valve stem through a transmission mechanism. The present invention can be adapted to these two different types of electric actuators 3. The first embodiment of the present invention is suitable for electric actuators 3 whose valve stem does not need to pass through the valve handwheel 31, and the second embodiment of the present invention is suitable for electric actuators 3 whose valve stem needs to pass through the valve handwheel 31.

Specifically, see Figure 3, the electric wrench 11 is provided with a square output shaft 111. One end of the torque and revolution meter 12 is provided with a square hole 121 that mates with the square output shaft 111. The square output shaft 111 is connected into the square hole 121.
