Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of valves, and particularly relates to an actuator and a diaphragm valve. Background Art

[0002] The pneumatic diaphragm valve is a special form of cut-off valve, which emerged in the 1920s. Its opening and closing part is a diaphragm made of soft material, so it is called a pneumatic diaphragm valve. The most prominent feature of the pneumatic diaphragm valve is that the diaphragm separates the lower valve body from the upper actuator, so that parts such as the push rod and valve flap above the diaphragm are not corroded by the medium, eliminating the packing seal structure and preventing medium leakage.

[0003] The existing pneumatic diaphragm valve generally includes a valve body, a diaphragm part and an actuator. The diaphragm part is arranged at the fluid passage and can move under the drive of the actuator to control the connection and disconnection (or disengagement) of the fluid passage, so as to achieve flow control. Although the existing pneumatic diaphragm valve basically meets the use requirements, there are still deficiencies. For example, its actuator uses a traditional metal spring as a pressing part to provide a variable force for driving the diaphragm part to cut off the fluid passage. Due to the material characteristics of the spring metal, during long-term use, the metal spring expands and contracts repeatedly under the action of load, and is prone to spring fatigue, resulting in a decrease in spring elasticity and affecting the flow control accuracy of the pneumatic diaphragm valve; in severe cases, the metal spring may even break or fail. However, since the valve cover of the current diaphragm valve is formed by welding two shells, if the elastic part or the sealing part is damaged, only the entire actuator can be replaced, resulting in waste of products and increased economic costs. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a diaphragm valve with a detachable mounting shell for the actuator in view of the above problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved by the following technical solutions: An actuator, comprising: a mounting shell, the mounting shell includes a first shell and a second shell which are detachably arranged, a locking part is arranged on one of the first shell and the second shell, a locking groove is arranged on the other one of them, and an unlocking groove is also communicated with the locking groove;

[0015] In the above-mentioned diaphragm valve, a connecting part is arranged on the first mounting part. A step is formed between the first mounting part and the connecting part. The cavity wall of the installation cavity abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the connecting part.

[0016] In the above-mentioned diaphragm valve, a horizontal reference plane is arranged on the outer wall of the valve body. When the horizontal reference plane is in the horizontal direction, the valve body reaches the self-draining angle.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: The mounting shell includes a first shell and a second shell which are detachably arranged. When the first shell and the second shell are connected, an installation cavity for installing actuators such as valve stems and elastic members is formed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0029] The following are specific embodiments of the present utility model, and in combination with the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be further described, but the present utility model is not limited to these embodiments. It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0030] As Figures 1-4 shown, an actuating device includes:

[0031] A mounting shell 100, the mounting shell 100 includes a first shell 101 and a second shell 102 which are detachably arranged. A locking portion 103 is arranged on one of the first shell 101 and the second shell 102, and a locking groove 105 is arranged on the other one of them. An unlocking groove 104 is also communicated with the locking groove 105.

[0032] Wherein, when the locking portion 103 moves into the locking groove 105, the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are connected to form a mounting cavity.

[0033] When the locking portion 103 moves into the unlocking groove 104, the first shell 101 can be disengaged from the second shell 102.

[0034] In this embodiment, the mounting shell 100 includes a first shell 101 and a second shell 102 which are detachably arranged. When the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are connected, a mounting cavity for mounting actuating parts such as a valve stem 108 and an elastic member 107 is formed. When the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are separated, the first shell 101 is opened relative to the second shell 102, and the actuating parts in the mounting cavity are exposed to view, facilitating the replacement of the components therein without replacing the entire actuating device, reducing the waste of product use.

[0035] It is worth mentioning that in order to ensure uniform distribution of the relative force between the first shell 101 and the second shell 102, the number of the locking portions 103 is three, and the three locking portions 103 are annularly and spacedly distributed. The locking groove 105, the unlocking groove 104 correspond to the number and position of the locking portions 103 one by one.

[0036] As Figures 2-3 shown, as one of the preferred solutions, the locking portion 103 is located on the inner side wall of the first shell 101, the locking groove 105 and the unlocking groove 104 are located on the second shell 102, and an installation ring is arranged on the second shell 102. The locking groove 105 and the unlocking groove 104 are both arranged on the installation ring, so that after the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are connected, the outer end faces of the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are flush.

[0037] Specifically, the locking portion 103 includes a strip-shaped locking block, which increases the contact area between the locking portion 103 and the locking groove 105, thereby increasing the connection stability between the two.

[0038] Further preferably, the moving direction of the locking portion 103 in the unlocking groove 104 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the locking portion 103 in the locking groove 105.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the first housing 101 needs to be fixed to the second housing 102, the locking portion 103 is aligned with the unlocking groove 104. As the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 approach each other, the locking portion 103 extends into the unlocking groove 104. When they can no longer approach, the first housing 101 is rotated relatively, so that the locking portion 103 moves from the unlocking groove 104 to the locking groove 105 until they can no longer rotate relatively. At this time, they are already installed in place, and the installation is convenient.

[0040] Further preferably, it further includes a limiting portion 106. A first limiting hole 109 is provided on the shell wall of the first housing 101, and a through second limiting hole 110 is provided on the shell wall of the second housing 102. When the first housing 101 is connected to the second housing 102, the first limiting hole 109 and the second limiting hole 110 are coaxial, and the first end of the limiting portion 106 passes through the second limiting hole 110 and extends into the first limiting hole 109, and the second end of the limiting portion 106 is located in the second limiting hole 110.

[0041] In this embodiment, after the locking portion 103 is located in the locking groove 105, the separation movement between the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 is restricted. However, during use, the first housing 101 may rotate relative to the second housing 102, resulting in a problem of connection failure between the first housing 101 and the second housing 102. Therefore, the limiting portion 106 is provided to limit the position of the relative rotation direction after the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 are connected; specifically, the limiting portion 106 includes a set screw, the first end of the set screw passes through the second limiting hole 110 and is screwed and fixed to the first limiting hole 109, and the second end of the set screw is located in the second limiting hole 110.

[0042] As Figure 4 shown, further preferably, a valve rod 108 that can reciprocate linearly is provided in the mounting shell 100. An elastic member 107 is provided on the valve rod 108. The first end of the elastic member 107 abuts against the first housing 101, and the second end of the elastic member 107 is connected to the valve rod 108.

[0043] Specifically, an abutting portion 111 is provided on the valve rod 108, and the second end of the elastic member 107 abuts against the abutting portion 111.

[0044] In this embodiment, after the locking portion 103 extends into the locking groove 105, the first housing 101 has a tendency to move away from the second housing 102 under the elastic force of the elastic member 107. Then, the relative abutting force between the locking portion 103 provided on the first housing 101 and the locking groove 105 increases, and the connection stability between the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 increases accordingly.

[0045] As Figures 5-8 shown, a diaphragm valve includes the above-mentioned actuating device, and further includes a sealing diaphragm 200 and a valve body 300. The sealing diaphragm 200 is located between the valve body 300 and the mounting housing 100. A dismounting and assembling portion 201 is detachably provided at the end of the valve stem 108. A first mounting portion 202 and a second mounting portion 203 are provided on the dismounting and assembling portion 201. A gap is provided between the first mounting portion 202 and the second mounting portion 203 to form a fixing cavity 204. An installation seat 208 is provided on the sealing diaphragm 200. An installation cavity 209 is provided in the installation seat 208. The cavity walls of the installation cavity 209 are respectively abutted and fixed to the first mounting portion 202 and the second mounting portion 203, and a reinforcing portion 205 extends into the fixing cavity 204 on the cavity walls of the installation cavity 209.

[0046] Specifically, the dismounting and assembling portion 201 can be selected as a screw threadedly connected to the valve stem 108, or a pin can be selected to connect to the valve stem 108.

[0047] In this embodiment, the sealing diaphragm 200 moves up and down under the action of an actuator (such as manual, pneumatic or electric) to open or close the valve. When the diaphragm is lifted, the fluid can pass through the valve; when the diaphragm is pressed against the valve seat, the valve closes to prevent the fluid from flowing. During the use of the diaphragm valve, the sealing diaphragm 200 may experience tens of thousands of reciprocating motions. Generally, the sealing diaphragm 200 is made of rubber or plastic, while the connecting portion 207 is made of metal. Due to the different materials, it is easy to generate a gap and cause the connection between the two to fail. Therefore, in this application, two mounting portions are provided on the connecting portion 207 to increase the connection area with the sealing diaphragm 200. And in order to further strengthen the connection, a gap is provided between the first mounting portion 202 and the second mounting portion 203 to form a fixing cavity 204, and a reinforcing portion 205 extends into the fixing cavity 204 on the cavity walls of the installation cavity 208.

[0048] It is worth mentioning that connecting racks 206 are provided on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first mounting portion 202 and / or the second mounting portion 203 to increase the contact area with the sealing diaphragm 200 and increase the friction force between the two.

[0049] Further preferably, a connecting portion 207 is provided on the first mounting portion 202. A step is formed between the first mounting portion 202 and the connecting portion 207, and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 209 abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 207.

[0050] In this embodiment, in order to enable the mounting seat 208 to cover the upper surface of the first mounting portion 202 to ensure a stable connection between the first mounting portion 202 and the mounting seat 208, a connecting portion 207 is provided on the first mounting portion 202. Horizontally, the first mounting portion 202 protrudes from the connecting portion 207, so that a step is formed between the first mounting portion 202 and the connecting portion 207, and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 209 abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 207.

[0051] As Figures 9-10 shown, it is worth mentioning that a horizontal reference plane 301 is provided on the outer wall of the valve body 300. When the horizontal reference plane 301 is in the horizontal direction, the valve body 300 reaches the self-draining angle to avoid the residue of liquid in the diaphragm valve. Compared with the existing method of using a protractor to adjust the self-draining angle, the method of using the reference plane to make the valve body 300 reach the self-draining angle is simpler in operation. It is only necessary to use a level or the like to make the reference plane in the horizontal direction.

[0052] It should be noted that in the present invention, descriptions such as "first", "second", "one", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0053] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present invention.
