DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The first embodiment of the present application is:

[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 ,in, Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the first embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 It is a front view of the whole of the first embodiment of the utility model. Figure 3 It is a cross-sectional view of the fixing structure of the first embodiment of the utility model.

[0027] The utility model discloses an electric linear actuator, comprising an electric actuator body 101, a nut 102 and a connecting assembly, wherein the connecting assembly comprises a guide member 103, a connecting seat 104, a mounting frame 105, an adjusting member 106 and two fixing structures 107, wherein the fixing structure 107 comprises a connecting block 108 and a clamping member 109, the guide member 103 comprises two guide columns 110, two guide blocks 111 and a guide plate 112, the adjusting member 106 comprises a double-threaded screw 113, an adjusting knob 114, The guide rail 115 and two adjustment blocks 116, the clamping member 109 includes a connecting plate 117, a first rod 118, a second rod 119, a rebound spring 120 and a clamping block 121, and the clamping block 121 has an arc-shaped clamping groove 122. The above-mentioned scheme solves the problem that the existing linear electric actuator has a fixed size of the extended connecting part of the nut 102 on the electric actuator body 101 and can only be connected to a valve of an adapted size, and cannot be adapted to valves of more sizes for linear operation, so the versatility is not high.

[0028] For this specific implementation, the electric actuator body 101 drives the nut 102 to cooperate with the connection between the connecting assembly and the valve to control the straight stroke output of the valve. The specific structure refers to the patent document with publication number CN202327310U, which will not be elaborated here.

[0029] The guide member 103 is arranged on one side of the electric actuator body 101; the connecting seat 104 is fixedly connected to the nut 102 and is located on one side of the nut 102; the mounting frame 105 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 104 and is located on one side of the connecting seat 104; the adjusting member 106 is arranged on one side of the mounting frame 105; the two fixing structures 107 are respectively located on both sides of the adjusting member 106; the fixing structure 107 includes a connecting block 108 and a clamping member 109, the connecting block 108 is fixedly connected to the adjusting member 106 and is located on one side of the adjusting member 106; the clamping member 109 is arranged on one side of the connecting block 108, and the connecting seat 104 is used to support the mounting frame 10 5, the guide member 103 is used for the electric actuator body 101 to drive the nut 102 to drive the linear stroke more smoothly. When it is necessary to connect and assemble with valves of different sizes, the adjusting member 106 is operated to control the connection block 108 in the fixed structure 107 to move. The movement of the connection block 108 drives the clamping members 109 to move closer to or away from each other, so that the clamping members 109 match the size of the valve to be fixed, thereby solving the problem that the existing linear stroke electric actuator has a fixed size of the extended connection part of the nut 102 on the electric actuator body 101 and can only be connected and used with a valve of an adapted size, and cannot be adapted to valves of more sizes for linear stroke operation, so the versatility is not high.

[0030] Secondly, the two guide posts 110 are respectively fixedly connected to the electric actuator body 101 and are respectively located on one side of the electric actuator body 101; the two guide blocks 111 are respectively slidably connected to the two guide posts 110 and are respectively located on one side of the two guide posts 110; the guide plate 112 is respectively fixedly connected to the two guide blocks 111 and is located between the two guide blocks 111. The guide plate 112 is fixedly arranged on the nut 102. The guide blocks 111 cooperate with the guide posts 110, so that the electric actuator body 101 drives the nut 102 to perform linear output more smoothly.

[0031] Again, the double-threaded screw 113 is rotatably connected to the installation frame 105 and is located on one side of the installation frame 105; the adjusting knob 114 is fixedly connected to the double-threaded screw 113 and is located on one side of the double-threaded screw 113; the guide rail 115 is fixedly connected to the installation frame 105 and is located on one side of the installation frame 105; the two adjusting blocks 116 are respectively threadedly connected to the double-threaded screw 113, and are respectively slidably connected to the guide rail 115, and are then fixedly connected to the two connecting blocks 108, and are respectively located on one side of the double-threaded screw 113. Twisting the adjusting knob 114 causes the double-threaded screw 113 to rotate and drive the two adjusting blocks 116 to slide on the guide rail 115, thereby controlling the clamping members 109 to approach or move away from each other, so that the clamping member 109 is fixed to the connecting part of the valve.

[0032] In addition, the connecting plate 117 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 108 and is located on one side of the connecting block 108; the first rod 118 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 117 and is located on one side of the connecting plate 117; the second rod 119 is fixedly connected to the first rod 118 and is located on one side of the first rod 118; the rebound spring 120 is fixedly connected to the first rod 118 and the second rod 119 respectively and is located between the first rod 118 and the second rod 119; the clamping block 121 is fixedly connected to the second rod 119 and is located on one side of the second rod 119; the clamping block 121 has an arc-shaped clamping groove 122, and the arc-shaped clamping groove 122 is located on one side of the clamping block 121. The first rod 118 and the second rod 119 cooperate with the rebound spring 120 to provide elastic expansion force so that the clamping block 121 is more stable when it is buckled with the valve connecting part.

[0033] When using the electric linear actuator described in the utility model, the connecting seat 104 is used to support the installation of the installation frame 105. The guide block 111 cooperates with the guide column 110, so that the electric actuator body 101 drives the nut 102 to output a linear stroke more smoothly. When it is necessary to connect and assemble with valves of different sizes, the adjusting knob 114 is twisted to rotate the double-threaded screw 113 to drive the two adjusting blocks 116 to slide on the guide rail 115, and the clamping members 109 are controlled to move closer to each other. Or they are far away from each other, so that the clamping member 109 matches the size of the valve to be fixed, and the first rod 118 and the second rod 119 cooperate with the rebound spring 120 to provide elastic expansion force so that the clamping block 121 is more stable when it is buckled with the valve connecting part, thereby solving the problem of the existing linear electric actuator, that the size of the protruding connecting part of the nut 102 on the electric actuator body 101 is fixed and can only be connected to a valve of an adapted size, and cannot be adapted to valves of more sizes for linear operation, so the versatility is not high.

[0034] The second embodiment of the present application is:

[0035] See also Figure 4 ,in, Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the second embodiment of the utility model.

[0036] On the basis of the first embodiment, the utility model provides an electric linear actuator, which further includes an auxiliary connecting member 201 , and the auxiliary connecting member 201 includes a bracket 202 and a flange fixing ring 203 .
