Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric actuator parts, in particular to a worm torque detection device for an electric actuator. Background Art
[0002] The valve electric actuator is a mechatronic industrial equipment used in conjunction with the valve to control the opening and closing of the valve. It mainly applies a certain torque to the valve to make the valve fully open or fully closed. The torque control principle is that when the torque required to open or close the valve under abnormal conditions is greater than the controllable torque set by the valve electric actuator, the torque structure will act and cut off the control circuit, causing the motor to stop, thereby protecting the valve from damage.
[0003] The output torque of the output shaft is a key parameter of an electric actuator. The current detection method is to set a pressure-sensitive electrical component on the measuring shaft, and display the output torque state of the output shaft by detecting the pressure change on the pressure-sensitive electronic component, so as to set the output shaft torque. The disadvantage of this structure is that the pressure-sensitive electronic component is very easy to be damaged and is easily affected by temperature, resulting in large deviations in the detection results. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a worm torque detection device for an electric actuator.
