[0024] The present utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] Combined with Figures 2 to 4 , a pneumatic actuator with an arbitrarily adjustable valve opening, including an actuator body 1, an installation mechanism 2 fixedly connected to the back of the actuator body 1, an adjustment mechanism 3 arranged at the bottom of the actuator body 1, and a sensing device 4 fixedly connected to the front of the actuator body 1;

[0027] The installation mechanism 2 includes an installation plate 23. The installation plate 23 is fixedly connected to the back of the actuator body 1. Inside the top end of the installation plate 23, there is a limit rod 22. One end of the back of the limit rod 22 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 21. Inside the installation plate 23, there is a first bolt 24 threadedly connected. On the top of the installation plate 23, there is a support frame 25 fixedly connected. Inside the support frame 25, there is a spring 26 fixedly connected. The bottom end of the spring 26 is fixedly connected to a T-shaped rod 27. The top end of the T-shaped rod 27 is fixedly connected to a T-shaped strip 28. Inside one end of the T-shaped strip 28, there is an insertion strip 29 fixedly connected. Inside the top end of the installation plate 23, there are insertion holes opened. The surface of the limit rod 22 matches the inside of the insertion holes. Inside the left and right ends of the fixing plate 21 respectively, there are threaded holes opened. The surface of the first bolt 24 is threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded holes.

[0028] Furthermore, on the top of the fixing plate 21, there are clamping holes opened. The surface of the insertion strip 29 matches the inside of the clamping holes. Inside the front and back ends of the support frame 25 respectively, there are through holes opened. The surface of the insertion strip 29 penetrates through the through hole opened inside the back end of the support frame 25. The surface of the T-shaped rod 27 penetrates through the through hole opened inside the front end of the support frame 25. In order to further strengthen the use and support effect of the actuator body 1, during the tight installation process of the installation plate 23 and the fixing plate 21, at this time, pull the T-shaped strip 28 upwards to overcome the elasticity of the spring 26, then drive the insertion strip 29 upwards. After that, when the installation plate 23 and the fixing plate 21 are tightly clamped, release the T-shaped strip 28 and drive the insertion strip 29 to be clamped into the inside of the top end of the fixing plate 21 under the elastic force of the spring 26, so as to further strengthen the use and support effect of the actuator body 1.

[0029] Embodiment 2

[0030] Refer to Figures 1-4 and on the basis of Embodiment 1, further obtain that the adjustment mechanism 3 includes a positioning ring 31. The positioning ring 31 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the actuator body 1. On the surface of the positioning ring 31, there is a connecting pipe 32 fixedly connected. The bottom end of the connecting pipe 32 is fixedly connected to a valve body 33. The top end of the connecting pipe 32 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the actuator body 1. On the front of the valve body 33, there is a rotating wheel 34. At the bottom end of the actuator body 1, there is a T-shaped plate 35 fixedly connected. Inside the T-shaped plate 35, there is a second bolt 36 threadedly connected.

[0031] Furthermore, on the surface of the positioning ring 31, there are positioning threaded holes opened. The surface of the second bolt 36 is threadedly connected to the internal thread of the positioning threaded holes. After the positioning ring 31 rotates to a certain extent, at this time, use the second bolt 36 to tighten between the T-shaped plate 35 and the positioning ring 31, so as to adjust the use effect of the valve body 33, expand the use range of the valve body 33, and the operation of the rotating wheel 34 can have the effect of arbitrarily adjusting the opening degree of the valve body 33.

[0032] During the actual operation process, when this device is in use and the actuator body 1 is being used, during the installation of the actuator body 1, the inner part at the top of the mounting plate 23 is snapped onto the surface of the limiting rod 22. At this time, the first bolt 24 is used to tightly install the mounting plate 23 and the fixing plate 21. Additionally, in order to further enhance the support effect during the use of the actuator body 1, during the tight installation of the mounting plate 23 and the fixing plate 21, at this time, the T-shaped strip 28 is pulled upwards to overcome the elasticity of the spring 26, driving the insertion strip 29 upwards. After that, when the mounting plate 23 and the fixing plate 21 are tightly engaged, the T-shaped strip 28 is released and, under the elastic force of the spring 26, the insertion strip 29 is driven to snap into the inner part at the top of the fixing plate 21, thereby further enhancing the support effect during the use of the actuator body 1;

[0033] In addition, when the valve body 33 needs to be adjusted during use, at this time, the valve body 33 is rotated to a certain angle, which drives the positioning ring 31 to rotate. Then, when the positioning ring 31 rotates to a certain extent, at this time, the second bolt 36 is used to tighten the T-shaped plate 35 and the positioning ring 31, thereby enabling the adjustment effect of the valve body 33 to be achieved, expanding the usage range of the valve body 33, and the operation wheel 34 can achieve the effect of arbitrarily adjusting the opening degree of the valve body 33.

[0034] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "including", "comprising" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "including a..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the said element.
