Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of counters, in particular to a valve counter which is convenient for replacing a travel switch. Background Art

[0002] Electric actuators are widely used in valve control in the fields of petroleum, natural gas, water treatment, and ships. These applications have extremely high requirements for the safety of electric actuators after power failure and the performance stability after re-operation. After the actuator is started, it is required to correctly transmit the same direction of movement regardless of forward or reverse rotation, accurately transmit the same torque, and be able to stop accurately when stopped.

[0003] In order to achieve precise stroke control of the actuator, a counter is often configured on the electric actuator. The two sets of gears on the counter control the stroke of the motor in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions respectively, and the stroke switch is the key to controlling the movement and stop of the motor to ensure that the valve can be fully opened or fully closed. The stroke switch on the counter on the market usually has two first through holes on the stroke switch, and two second through holes corresponding to the first through holes on the stroke switch are opened on the device seat of the counter. The screw passes through the first through hole and the second through hole and is fixedly installed on the device seat of the counter by nut locking, or the stroke switch is directly fixedly installed on the device seat of the counter by screw locking. Since the stroke switch is a consumable part, it needs to be replaced when damaged. Although the connection method of the stroke switch in the existing counter is relatively simple, it must be disassembled and assembled with the help of tools (wrench or screwdriver). When the user does not have the tools, it cannot be quickly replaced, which delays the working process of the equipment. Utility Model Content

The elastic pad 33 can not only protect the travel switch 15, but also apply a pre-tightening force to the travel switch 15 when the travel switch 15 is installed, thereby improving the locking effect of the lock rod 17 on the travel switch 15.
