[0030] The specific working process of this utility model:

[0031] When the electric actuator is in automatic operation mode, the clutch 2 is acted upon by the elastic force of the spring 2 6, and the block 4 23 is engaged with the block 3 52, so that the connecting sleeve 2 5 drives the clutch 2 to rotate, the clutch 2 drives the main shaft 1 to rotate, and the main shaft 1 drives the valve to open and close through the speed reduction mechanism;

[0032] In the automatic operation mode, the clutch 2 is subjected to the centrifugal force of rotation, and the lubricating oil in the cotton strip 253 in the lubricating chamber 212 seeps out and enters the lubricating groove 1 111 after passing through the lubricating groove 2 211 to lubricate the clutch 2 and the main shaft 1.

[0033] When it is necessary to switch to the manual operation mode, the operating lever 7 is pulled, and the operating lever 7 lifts the clutch 2 upward and overcomes the elastic force of the spring, so that the second block 22 of the clutch 2 is engaged with the block 1 31 of the connecting sleeve 1 3, and the guide block 21 slides in the guide groove 11, thereby realizing the lubrication of the clutch 2 by the lubricating oil in the lubricating groove 1 111 and the lubricating groove 2 211, thereby reducing the friction between the clutch 2 and the main shaft 1.

[0034] By setting the lubrication groove 111 and the lubrication groove 211, more lubrication oil is filled between the guide block 21 of the clutch 2 and the guide groove 11 of the main shaft 1, the lubrication effect is better, and it is not easy to get stuck when switching the operation mode. The switching of the manual and automatic modes is more flexible, and the switching effect of the electric actuator is better.

[0035] By providing a lubrication chamber 212 connected to the lubrication groove 211, and a cotton strip 253 is provided in the lubrication chamber 212, when the clutch 2 rotates, the lubricating oil in the cotton strip 253 supplements the lubricating oil in the lubrication groove 24, further improving the lubrication effect of the clutch 2, making the lubrication of the clutch 2 more lasting, and improving the switching efficiency of the electric actuator.
