Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of air valves, and specifically relates to a self-locking 5nm air valve actuator. Background Art
[0002] The damper actuator is an automated device used to control dampers in air conditioning, ventilation and air handling systems. It is usually composed of a motor, a transmission mechanism and a control circuit. The function of the damper actuator is to adjust the opening and closing of the damper through the control circuit according to the signal from the temperature, humidity, pressure or other sensors, so as to realize the temperature regulation and ventilation control of the air conditioning system.
[0003] Specifically, when the air conditioning system needs to adjust the indoor temperature, the control system will send instructions to the air valve actuator, and the actuator will control the motor to start or stop according to the instructions, and drive the air valve to open or close through the transmission mechanism. In this way, the air flow can be accurately adjusted, thereby achieving indoor temperature control and air circulation adjustment.
[0004] Damper actuators usually have certain control functions, such as opening control, feedback monitoring, manual operation, etc., to meet different application requirements. They are widely used in various air conditioning and ventilation systems in buildings, factories, offices and commercial places, providing users with comfortable indoor environment and energy-saving air conditioning solutions.
[0005] When the actuator motor speed is the same, the smaller the speed ratio of the actuator's gearbox, the faster the output shaft rotates. However, the small speed ratio causes the actuator to be unable to lock after it stops, causing the output shaft end to rotate and the air valve to close again, that is, the actuator's self-locking force is insufficient.

[0010] A friction block is also provided on the shaft where the second large gear and the second small gear are located. The friction block is located between the second large gear and the second small gear. A torsion spring is wrapped around the outside of the friction block. The second large gear and the second small gear are prevented from returning by the friction block and the torsion spring.
[0011] On the basis of the above technical solution, a self-locking 5nm air valve actuator of the utility model can also be improved as follows:

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, it is a first embodiment of a self-locking 5nm air valve actuator provided by the utility model. In this embodiment, it includes a motor 1, a transmission mechanism 2, and a gear box 3, wherein the motor 1 is located outside the gear box 3, the output end of the gear box 3 is fixedly connected to the transmission mechanism 2, the transmission mechanism 2 is located inside the gear box 3, and the output end of the transmission mechanism 2 is the output shaft of the actuator;
[0035] The transmission mechanism 2 includes a motor gear 21, a second large gear 221, a second small gear 222, and a third gear 23. The motor gear 21 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 1, the motor gear 21 is meshed with the second large gear 221, the second large gear 221 is coaxial with the second small gear 222, the second small gear 222 is meshed with the third gear 23, and the third gear 23 is coaxial with the output shaft of the actuator;
[0036] A friction block 223 is also provided on the shaft where the second large gear 221 and the second small gear 222 are located. The friction block 223 is located between the second large gear 221 and the second small gear 222. A torsion spring 2231 is wrapped around the outside of the friction block 223. The second large gear 221 and the second small gear 222 are prevented from returning by the friction block 223 and the torsion spring 2231.
[0037] Among them, in the above technical solution, a square protrusion is provided at the bottom of the second large gear 221, and the protrusion is embedded in the end of the torsion spring 2231. The surface of the friction block 223 inside the torsion spring 2231 is provided with a plurality of recesses for accommodating the torsion spring 2231.
[0038] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the depression on the surface of the friction block 223 is arc-shaped, which has the same bending arc as the end of the torsion spring 2231 .
[0039] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the friction block 223 is fixedly connected to the shaft where the second large gear 221 and the second small gear 222 are located.
[0040] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the angle of the end of the torsion spring 2231 is 60°.
[0041] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the width of the protrusion at the bottom of the second large gear 221 is equal to two-thirds of the distance of the torsion spring 2231 .
[0042] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, there are three depressions on the surface of the friction block 223 .
[0043] Specifically, the principle of the utility model is:
[0044] 1. During normal operation, the motor gear 21 rotates clockwise, the second small gear 222 rotates counterclockwise, the middle square protrusion pushes the torsion spring 2231 and the second large gear 221 to rotate counterclockwise, and the second large gear 221 drives the third gear 23 group to rotate, opening the damper. At this time, the torsion spring 2231 is forced to loosen the inner side and the friction block 223, and the rotation resistance is small.
[0045] 2. When the motor 1 stops, the output shaft partially rotates, causing the second large gear 221 to rotate clockwise, and the square protrusion at the bottom pushes the torsion spring 2231 and the second small gear 222. At this time, the torsion spring 2231 is subjected to force to wrap the friction block 223 on the inside, and the rotation resistance becomes larger, causing the second large gear 221 to stop rotating, and the self-locking force becomes larger, so that the damper cannot close by itself.
[0046] 3. When the motor 1 rotates counterclockwise, the same principle applies when closing the damper, which can increase the self-locking force. When the motor 1 is stopped, the damper cannot open by itself.
