Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valve openers, in particular to a foldable modular valve opener. Background Art

[0002] Valves are devices used to control the direction, pressure, and flow of fluids in fluid systems. They enable or stop the flow of media (liquids, gases, powders) within piping and equipment, and can control their flow. Valves are control components in pipeline fluid transportation systems, used to change the cross-section of the passage and the direction of the medium's flow. They perform functions such as diverting, shutting off, throttling, checking, diverting, or providing overflow and pressure relief. On existing ships, valves in some equipment and related pipelines are often installed in confined spaces that are difficult to access. In these situations, valve openers are required to open and close the valves.

[0003] The existing valve opener is usually composed of a handle, a connecting rod and a handwheel clamp. When the handwheel clamp is clamped to the handwheel, the handle is turned to make the clamp drive the handwheel to rotate. The common valve opener is welded as a whole, which takes up a lot of space. It is inconvenient to store and transport it, which makes the valve opener less convenient to use. For this reason, we propose a foldable modular valve opener. Utility Model Content

[0015] 1. The utility model can loosen the locking bolt to allow the folding rod 1 and the folding rod 2 to be pulled apart in cooperation with the limit plate, and then the folding rod 2 is rotated toward the bottom direction of the folding rod 1, and the handle of the folding rod 2 is clamped between the limit strips of the fixed plate, thereby realizing the folding of the modular valve opener, making it convenient to fold the modular valve opener for storage and transportation, and increasing the convenience of using the modular valve opener.

[0016] 2. The utility model provides a rotatable rotating plate. When the handwheel rod inside the handwheel of the valve presses against the rotating plate and enters the interior of the locking piece, the rotating plate first rotates upward and then resets, and then the telescopic column extends to cooperate with the clamping groove of the rotating plate. At this time, the rotating plate is blocked and cannot rotate to achieve the locking of the handwheel rod. When the telescopic column retracts, the rotating plate is no longer blocked and the handle can be pulled to make the locking piece move away from the handwheel rod, so that the modular valve opener can be conveniently locked with the handwheel when opening the valve, so that the valve opener and the handwheel can be stably connected when the valve opener is rotated.

A rotating plate 220 and a telescopic column 210 are provided inside the protective shell 211. The telescopic column 210 uses a micro electric push rod commonly found on the market. The electric push rod is a device that combines an electric motor with a linear push rod and is used to provide linear motion in a mechanical system. The electric push rod is usually composed of a motor, a transmission system, a push rod and a controller. The working principle of the electric push rod is to drive the transmission system through the motor so that the push rod can produce linear motion and then be engaged with the engaging groove 222 for engagement. The side wall of the rotating plate 220 is provided with a engaging groove 222 that engages with the telescopic column 210.
