Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of butterfly valve oblique shift fork actuators, in particular to an oblique shift fork structure actuator suitable for butterfly valves. Background Art

[0002] The scotch fork pneumatic actuator with high versatility drives the scotch fork to rotate through the linear motion of the piston rod, thereby driving the main shaft or valve stem to rotate. It is suitable for the switch, cutoff or metering control of valves with a 90° rotation angle (such as ball valves, butterfly valves, and plug valves). The scotch fork pneumatic actuator with high versatility generally has two design structures according to the torque characteristics and usage requirements of each valve. One is the symmetrical scotch fork design and the other is the inclined scotch fork design. The characteristic of the symmetrical scotch fork design is that the length direction of the fixed slider hole on the scotch fork is arranged along the central axis of the scotch fork, so that the torque output curve is symmetrical from opening to closing, and the torque at both ends is consistent. This design feature is suitable for ball valve drives. The characteristic of the inclined fork design is that the length direction of the fixed slider hole on the fork forms an inclination angle with the central axis of the fork, which can change the actuator torque output curve as required to adjust the torque when opening or closing the valve. This design is particularly suitable for driving butterfly valves and eccentric rotary valves; Patent No. CN202122128726.1 publishes a highly versatile fork-type pneumatic actuator, which optimizes the transmission friction coefficient between the fork and the slider, with high transmission efficiency, slow wear and high durability; however, since the plug-in arm is prone to some shaking when swinging, long-term shaking movement is likely to cause some unnecessary wear on the plug-in arm. At the same time, large wear will also affect the accuracy of the plug-in arm and affect its use. To this end, we propose an inclined fork structure actuator suitable for butterfly valves.
