Specifically, the worm gear mechanism 200 and the electric mechanism 400 are both prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the automatic disengagement mechanism 600 includes a support 610, a spline seat 620, a disengager 630, a latch 640, a connector 650, an automatic compression spring 660 and an automatic leaf spring 670. The support 610 is installed in the housing 100. The left end of the spline seat 620 is rotatably connected to the support 610, and its right end is sleeved on the left end of the spline shaft 300. The disengager 630 is sleeved on the right part of the spline seat 620 and is connected to the spline seat 620 through the latch 640. The right part of the spline seat 620 is provided with an axial hole 621, and the latch 640 passes through The axial hole 621 is slidably matched with the axial hole 621, the latch 640 contacts the left end of the core shaft 800, the connector 650 is sleeved on the left end of the spline shaft 300, and corresponds to the disconnector 630, the automatic compression spring 660 is sleeved on the middle part of the spline seat 620, the left end of the automatic compression spring 660 contacts the annular ridge 622 on the left part of the spline seat 620, and its right end contacts the left end of the disconnector 630, the left end of the automatic leaf spring 670 is arranged at the right end of the disconnector 630, and its right end is connected to the pressure plate 900 at the left end of the spline shaft 300.

The connecting section 631 is connected to the disconnecting section 633 through the transition section 632. The connecting section 631 is provided with a pin hole 6311 for the latch 640 to pass through. The transition section 632 is inclined. Steps 6331 are symmetrically formed at the upper and lower ends of the disconnecting section 633 away from the end surface of the connecting section 631. Specifically, the step 6331 is crescent-shaped.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the manual mechanism 500 includes a manual shaft 510, a handwheel 520 and a planetary gear assembly 530. The manual shaft 510 is arranged horizontally and is rotatably connected to the housing 100. The left end of the manual shaft 510 is connected to the manual disengagement mechanism 700 through the planetary gear assembly 530, and the right end thereof extends out of the housing 100 and is connected to the handwheel 520. The arrangement of the planetary gear assembly 530 plays a role in increasing speed and reducing torque, thereby increasing the speed of the valve switch when operated manually, and preventing the valve from being damaged due to excessive torque on the handwheel 520 when operated manually.
[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the planetary gear assembly 530 includes an inner gear ring 531, planetary gears 532 and a sun gear 533. The inner gear ring 531 is mounted on the pressure plate 900 at the right end of the spline shaft 300. The planetary gear 532 is rotatably mounted on the left end of the manual shaft 510 and meshes with the inner gear ring 531. The sun gear 533 is arranged at the center of the left end of the manual shaft 510 and is installed at the left end of the manual disengagement mechanism 700. Specifically, there are three planetary gears 532, which are arranged circumferentially around the sun gear 533; the left part of the inner ring of the sun gear 533 is provided with internal teeth.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the manual disengagement mechanism 700 includes a pin shaft 710, a manual compression spring 720, a pressure ring 730, a first retaining spring 740 and a second retaining spring 750. The pin shaft 710 is slidably inserted into the manual shaft 510, the manual compression spring 720 is sleeved on the left part of the pin shaft 710, the pressure ring 730 is installed in the middle part of the inner ring of the sun gear 533, the pressure ring 730 is slidably sleeved on the right end of the core shaft 800, and contacts with the left end of the manual compression spring 720, the first retaining spring 740 is installed in the middle part of the pin shaft 710, and contacts with the right end of the manual compression spring 720, and the second retaining spring 750 is installed at the right end of the core shaft 800 and is located on the left side of the pressure ring 730.
[0032] In the electric state, the disconnector 630 is connected to the connector 650, and the left end of the automatic leaf spring 670 is in the connecting section 631, that is, Figure 6In the middle H-surface region, the outer teeth of the sun gear 533 do not mesh with the planetary gear 532, and the inner teeth of the sun gear 533 do not mesh with the spline at the right end of the spline shaft 300. When opening and closing the valve, the motor (involute) shaft end in the electric mechanism 400 drives the spline seat 620 to rotate, and the rotation of the spline seat 620 drives the disconnector 630 to rotate through the latch 640. The engagement of the disconnector 630 with the connector 650 drives the spline shaft 300 to rotate. Since the spline shaft 300 is connected to the involute spline of the worm sleeve, it drives the output shaft of the worm gear mechanism 200 to rotate, thereby realizing that the output shaft drives the valve to open and close.
[0033] When the power is cut off in the electric state, in order to open and close the valve, it is necessary to switch to the manual state. At this time, the E-direction force F is applied to the pin shaft 710, and the pin shaft 710 moves left to compress the manual compression spring 720. The manual compression spring 720 pushes the compression ring 730 and then drives the sun gear 533 to move left, until the outer teeth of the sun gear 533 mesh with the outer teeth of the planetary gear 532, and the inner teeth of the sun gear 533 mesh with the inner spline of the right end of the spline shaft 300. The leftward movement of the pin shaft 710 simultaneously pushes the core shaft 800 to move left, and then drives the disconnector 630 to move left through the latch 640, so that the disconnector 630 is disengaged from the connector 650, until the left end of the automatic leaf spring 670 rests on the step 6331 of the disengagement section 633, that is, Figure 6 When opening and closing the valve, the hand wheel 520 is rotated to drive the manual shaft 510 to rotate, and the rotation of the manual shaft 510 drives the spline shaft 300 to rotate through the planetary gear 532 and the sun gear 533, and then drives the output shaft of the worm gear mechanism 200 to rotate, so that the output shaft drives the valve to open and close.
[0034] When power is turned on in the manual state, the motor (involute) shaft end in the electric mechanism 400 drives the spline seat 620 to rotate, and then drives the disconnector 630 to rotate, and the left end of the automatic leaf spring 670 moves circumferentially on the step 6331 of the disengagement section 633 until the left end of the automatic leaf spring 670 contacts the H-surface area of the disconnector 630. At this time, the axial direction of the disconnector 630 is not blocked by the automatic leaf spring 670. The disconnector 630 moves to the right under the action of the automatic compression spring 660 until it engages with the connector 650. At the same time, the pin 640 pushes the core shaft 800 to the right along the axial hole 621, and the second retaining spring 750 on the core shaft 800 synchronously drives the pressure ring 730 to move right, thereby driving the sun gear 533 to move right until the outer teeth of the sun gear 533 are no longer engaged with the planetary gear 532, and the inner teeth of the sun gear 533 are no longer engaged with the spline at the right end of the spline shaft 300, thereby automatically switching to the electric state.
