[0031] The adjusting assembly further includes a third rotating shaft 23, the third rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected inside the valve electric actuator 2, and the third rotating shaft 23 rotatably penetrates through one inner wall of the valve electric actuator 2, a lever 22 is fixedly connected to the left end of the third rotating shaft 23, a cam 24 is fixedly connected to the end of the third rotating shaft 23 close to the valve core rotating shaft 6, and a plurality of bearings 25 are rotatably connected inside the cam 24, and all the plurality of bearings 25 are in contact with the first gear 11.

[0032] The number of the springs 10, the first gears 11, the grooves 12 and the sliding grooves 15 is three, and they are symmetrically arranged on the surface of the valve core rotating shaft 6 respectively.

[0033] A driving motor 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the valve electric actuator 2, the output end of the driving motor 4 extends into the valve electric actuator 2, and is fixedly connected with a worm 5, and the worm 5 meshes with the worm gear 7.

[0034] A valve core 8 is rotatably connected inside the valve body 1, the valve core rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected with the valve core 8, the valve core 8 is sealed with the inner wall of the valve body 1, and flanges 3 are fixedly connected to both ends of the valve body 1 respectively.

[0035] A first rotating shaft 16 and a second rotating shaft 17 are rotatably connected inside the valve electric actuator 2, a handle 18 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first rotating shaft 16, a second gear 19 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first rotating shaft 16, a third gear 20 and a fourth gear 21 are fixedly connected to the surface of the second rotating shaft 17, the third gear 20 meshes with the first gear 11, and the second gear 19 meshes with the fourth gear 21.

[0036] When using this device, first install the device on the pipeline. When it is necessary to open or close the valve, start the drive motor 4 to drive the worm 5 to rotate. The worm 5 drives the worm gear 7 to rotate, and the worm gear 7 drives the connecting rod 14 and the first gear 11 to rotate. Due to the limitation of the first gear 11 by the groove 12, the valve core rotating shaft 6 is driven to rotate. The valve core rotating shaft 6 drives the valve core 8 to rotate, opening and closing the valve body 1. During the rotation of the valve core 8, the seal between the valve core 8 and the valve body 1 is ensured at the same time to prevent liquid leakage.

[0037] During daily use, a sudden power failure may occur. Since the drive motor is driven by electricity, it is impossible to drive the drive motor in the case of a power failure, so that electric drive cannot be carried out. At this time, just rotate the lever 22. The lever 22 drives the third rotating shaft 23 to rotate. The third rotating shaft 23 drives the cam 24 and the bearing 25 to rotate. The bearing 25 presses the first gear 11, so that the first gear 11 slides inside the groove 12. The first gear 11 drives the connecting rod 14 to move, so that the connecting rod 14 is separated from the chute 15, releasing the limitation of the chute 15 on the connecting rod 14, and the first gear 11 compresses the spring 10. And the first gear 11 meshes with the third gear 20. Rotate the handle 18 to drive the first rotating shaft 16 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 16 drives the second gear 19 to rotate. The second gear 19 drives the third gear 20 to rotate. The third gear 20 drives the second rotating shaft 17 and the third gear 20 to rotate. The third gear 20 drives the first gear 11 to rotate. The first gear 11 drives the valve core rotating shaft 6 and the valve core 8 to rotate, opening or closing the valve.

[0038] When not in use, rotate the lever 22 again to make the first gear 11 reset under the action of the spring 10, so that the connecting rod 14 contacts the chute 15 and limits the worm gear 7.

[0039] At the same time, when the drive motor 4 fails, the valve can also be opened or closed by rotating the handle 18, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the process flow.

[0040] Furthermore, through the movement of the first gear 11 and the limitation of the connecting rod 14 by the chute 15, it is convenient to limit the worm gear 7, which is convenient to use the drive motor for driving when powered on, and release the limitation on the worm gear 7 in the case of a power failure, which is convenient to open or close the valve by rotating the handle 18, improving the working efficiency of the device. At the same time, when the drive motor 4 fails, the valve can also be opened or closed by rotating the handle 18, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the process flow and improving the safety of the device.

[0041] With the setting of the bearing 25, it is convenient for the first gear 11 to rotate stably during the rotation process, reduce the friction between the first gear 11 and the cam 24, improve the service life of the device, enhance the practicability of the device, and improve the efficiency of the device.

[0042] Working principle: When using this device, first install the device on the pipeline. When it is necessary to open or close the valve, start the drive motor 4 to drive the worm 5 to rotate. The worm 5 drives the worm wheel 7 to rotate. The worm wheel 7 drives the connecting rod 14 and the first gear 11 to rotate. Due to the limitation of the first gear 11 by the groove 12, the valve core rotating shaft 6 is driven to rotate. The valve core rotating shaft 6 drives the valve core 8 to rotate, opening and closing the valve body 1. During the rotation of the valve core 8, the seal between the valve core 8 and the valve body 1 is ensured at the same time to prevent liquid leakage.

[0043] During daily use, a sudden power outage may occur. Since the drive motor is driven by electricity and cannot be driven in the case of a power outage, that is, electric drive cannot be carried out. At this time, just rotate the lever 22. The lever 22 drives the third rotating shaft 23 to rotate. The third rotating shaft 23 drives the cam 24 and the bearing 25 to rotate. The bearing 25 squeezes the first gear 11, causing the first gear 11 to slide inside the groove 12. The first gear 11 drives the connecting rod 14 to move, causing the connecting rod 14 to separate from the sliding groove 15, releasing the limitation of the sliding groove 15 on the connecting rod 14, and causing the first gear 11 to compress the spring 10. And the first gear 11 meshes with the third gear 20. Rotate the handle 18 to drive the first rotating shaft 16 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 16 drives the second gear 19 to rotate. The second gear 19 drives the third gear 20 to rotate. The third gear 20 drives the second rotating shaft 17 and the third gear 20 to rotate. The third gear 20 drives the first gear 11 to rotate. The first gear 11 drives the valve core rotating shaft 6 and the valve core 8 to rotate, opening or closing the valve.

[0044] When not in use, rotate the lever 22 again to reset the first gear 11 under the action of the spring 10, so that the connecting rod 14 contacts the sliding groove 15 to limit the worm wheel 7.

[0045] At the same time, when the drive motor 4 fails, the valve can also be opened or closed by rotating the handle 18, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the technological process.

[0046] The above has described the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the knowledge scope of those of ordinary skill in the art in the said technical field, various changes can also be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
