[0002] Pneumatic actuators are actuators that use air pressure to drive the opening, closing or regulating of valves. They are also called pneumatic actuators or pneumatic devices. The actuators and regulating mechanisms of pneumatic actuators are a unified whole. The actuators include diaphragm type, piston type, scotch fork type and gear rack type. Among them, diaphragm actuators are commonly used. They can be used as a driving device for general control valves to form pneumatic diaphragm actuators. The signal pressure of the pneumatic diaphragm actuator acts on the diaphragm, causing it to deform, driving the push rod on the diaphragm to move, causing the valve core to shift, thereby changing the opening of the valve. It has a simple structure, low price, easy maintenance, and is widely used.
[0003] When the opening and closing of a valve is controlled by a pneumatic actuator, the gas input into the pneumatic actuator is often concentrated, making it difficult for the diaphragm to drive the push rod to move smoothly. In addition, the push rod lacks effective guidance, and is not stable and reliable when moving, resulting in the valve opening and closing being not stable enough. Therefore, improvement is urgently needed. Utility Model Content
