Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of actuators, and more specifically, to an electric actuator with high stability. Background Art

[0002] An electric actuator is a mechatronic device that receives electrical signals (such as 4-20mA, 0-10V, etc.) from an automation control system and converts them into corresponding linear or angular displacement outputs, thereby controlling the opening and closing of terminal control elements such as valves, dampers, and air doors, and achieving precise control of pipeline medium flow, pressure, temperature and other parameters.

[0003] Electric actuators are widely used in industrial automation, building automation, process control and other fields. They are also widely used on ships. Ships can use electric actuators to perform auxiliary controls such as valve control, steering gear control, ventilation system, fire protection system, cargo hold management system, etc. However, due to the long-term sailing of ships at sea, ships will encounter various dynamic loads at sea, including wave impact, swaying, torsional force and machine vibration. These factors may cause the connectors of the electric actuator, such as screws, to gradually loosen. Loosening of fixing screws will cause the overall stability of the actuator to decrease, and then cause the equipment to generate greater vibration during operation, which will not only increase the noise of the equipment, but also accelerate the wear of the equipment and reduce its service life. In severe cases, it may also cause mechanical failure or electrical failure, which will affect the normal operation of some functions of the ship.

A limiting structure can be set between the mounting frame and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 4, or the mounting cavity and the mounting frame can be designed into a polygonal structure to prevent the tightener on the mounting frame from being offset relative to the mounting hole during movement. A lifting mechanism for driving the mounting frame 6 to lift and lower and a driving mechanism 2 for driving the tightener 7 to rotate are provided in the shell 1, and a through groove 8 is provided in the shell 1.

[0028] Furthermore, a rotating rod 9 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 , and a hand wheel 10 is mounted on the rotating rod 9 .

[0029] Furthermore, the driving mechanism 2 includes a driven gear 11 fixedly connected to the tightener 7, and a switching module is provided between the driving mechanism 1 and the driving shaft 2, the driven gear 11, and the rotating rod. The switching module can switch between the driving mechanism 1 driving the driving shaft 2 to rotate, the driving mechanism 1 driving the driven gear 11 to rotate, and the rotating rod driving the driving shaft 2 to rotate.

[0030] Furthermore, the driving mechanism 1 includes a worm gear mechanism, which includes a worm wheel 13 and a worm 14 . The worm wheel 13 and the worm 14 are both rotationally connected to the housing 1 , and the worm 14 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 12 .

[0031] Furthermore, the switching module includes an electric push rod 15 fixedly connected to the housing 1, and a switching sleeve 16 is rotatably connected to the protruding end of the electric push rod 15, and a driving gear 17, a driving gear 2 18 and an inner gear ring 19 are fixedly connected to the switching sleeve 16, and a driven gear 2 20 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 2. The worm gear 13 is provided with a tooth groove 22 meshing with the driving gear 17, and the switching sleeve 16 is provided with a linkage groove 3 for inserting the rotating rod 9.

[0033] Furthermore, a sealing gasket 23 is provided on the housing 1 . The sealing gasket is made of rubber. A clamping portion that can block the through groove 8 is integrally formed on the sealing gasket 23 .

[0034] Furthermore, the housing 1 is divided into an upper housing 24 , a middle housing 25 and a lower housing 26 which are detachably assembled.

[0035] Working principle: When installing the electric actuator, insert the fastening bolt into the mounting hole 5 through the through slot 8, cover it with the sealing gasket 23, and then drive the mounting frame 6 to descend through the electric push rod 21, thereby driving the tightener 7 to engage with the driving part of the bolt. In this embodiment, hexagonal bolts are used, and the tightener 7 is a hexagonal structure with chamfers. In other embodiments, bolts of other structures can be used, and the tightener 7 can be changed according to the structure of the driving part of the bolt.

[0036] Then, the switching sleeve 16 is driven to move by the electric push rod 15 until the driving gear 17 is inserted into the tooth groove 22 and meshed with it. At this time, the driving gear 2 18 is meshed with the driven gear 11, and then the worm 14 is driven to rotate by the motor 12. The worm 14 drives the switching sleeve 16 to rotate through the worm wheel 13, the tooth groove 22 and the driving gear 17.

It is also possible to set a program in the controller, and then periodically tighten the bolts automatically through the above method to prevent the bolts from loosening and affecting the stability of the electroplating actuator.

[0037] When it is necessary to drive the corresponding equipment through the electric actuator, the electric push rod 21 drives the switching sleeve 16 to move until the driving gear 2 18 is separated from the driven gear 1 11, and the inner ring gear 19 is engaged with the driven gear 2 20. At this time, the output shaft of the driving motor 12 rotates, and the motor 12 will drive the driving shaft 2 to rotate through the worm 14, the worm wheel 13, the tooth groove, the driving gear 1 17, the switching sleeve 16, the inner ring gear 19 and the driven gear 2 20 in sequence, thereby driving the corresponding equipment.

[0038] When the motor 12 fails or other situations require manual driving of the drive shaft 2 to rotate, the electric push rod 21 drives the switching sleeve 16 to move until the rotating rod 9 is inserted into the linkage groove 3 and meshes with it, and the driving gear 17 and the tooth groove 22 are separated. At this time, the user rotates the handwheel 10, and the handwheel 10 will drive the drive shaft 2 to rotate through the rotating rod 9, the switching sleeve 16, the inner gear ring 19, and the driven gear 2 20 in sequence, thereby driving the corresponding equipment.

[0039] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
