[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] See also Figures 1 to 5The utility model provides a pneumatic actuator with significant sealing effect, including an actuator body 1 and a connecting port 3 arranged at the end of the actuator body 1, the connecting port 3 is connected to the end cover 2, and the inner side of the end cover 2 is provided with a sealing gasket 13, a sealing surface 14, and a sealing surface 2 15, and the sealing surface 14 and the sealing surface 2 15 are relatively distributed. When the assembly is completed, the end cover 2 is pressed against the connecting port 3, and the use of the sealing gasket 13, the sealing surface 14, and the sealing surface 2 15 is used to achieve multiple sealing effects and avoid the hidden danger of gas leakage. The outer side of the end cover 2 is connected to a plurality of connecting plates 5, and the connecting plates 5 are L-shaped plates, and the connecting plates 5 match the limiting seat 8 connected to the outer side of the connecting port 3, and the limiting seat 8 is connected to a positioning mechanism for positioning the connecting plates 5. When installing the end cover 2, the connecting plate 5 is inserted into the limiting seat 8 to achieve preliminary positioning of the end cover 2, which is convenient for subsequent locking of the connecting plate 5.

[0022] An annular groove 12 is provided in the end cover 2 , and the annular groove 12 matches the sealing gasket 13 and can limit the position of the sealing gasket 13 .

[0023] The first sealing surface 14 and the second sealing surface 15 are both inclined, with an angle of 30° to 40° with the horizontal.

[0024] The positioning mechanism includes a rotating ring 4, multiple positioning heads 10, multiple anti-slip protrusions 11, and a connector 6. The positioning head 10 is connected to one side of the rotating ring 4, which is rotatably connected to the connecting port 3. The anti-slip protrusions 11 are connected to the outside of the rotating ring 4. The anti-slip protrusions 11 increase the friction with the hand, making it easier to operate the rotating ring 4. The connector 6 is used to position the rotating ring 4. The positioning heads 10 match the positioning slots 9 provided on the connecting plate 5. The rotatable rotating ring 4 drives the multiple positioning heads 10 to rotate synchronously, causing the positioning heads 10 to move toward the corresponding positioning slots 9. The positioning heads 10 gradually press against the positioning slots 9, applying a pulling force to the connecting plate 5 toward the actuator body 1, pressing the end cover 2 against the connecting port 3, improving the tightness of the connection between the two and making operation simple and convenient.

[0025] A connecting groove 7 is provided at the end of the actuator body 1. A connecting member 6 is a conventional bolt, threadedly connected to the connecting groove 7. When the rotating ring 4 rotates a certain angle, the rotating connecting member 6 mates with the connecting groove 7, locking the rotating ring 4. This prevents rotational loosening that could affect the stability of the connection between the positioning head 10 and the connecting plate 5, and avoids the potential loosening of the end cap 2.

[0026] A guide groove 17 is provided on the outer side of the connecting port 3, and a plurality of sliding blocks 16 are slidably connected to the guide groove 17. The sliding blocks 16 are fixedly connected to the rotating ring 4. When the rotating ring 4 is rotated, the sliding blocks 16 slide in the guide groove 17, thereby improving the rotation stability of the rotating ring 4 and facilitating the precise docking of the positioning head 10 with the positioning groove 9.

[0027] Working Principle: When assembling the pneumatic actuator, insert the connecting plate 5 into the corresponding limiting seat 8 to initially limit the end cover 2. Rotating the rotating ring 4 then drives the multiple positioning heads 10 to rotate, pressing the positioning heads 10 against the positioning grooves 9. This in turn applies a pulling force toward the actuator body 1 to the connecting plate 5, pressing the end cover 2 against the connecting port 3, improving the tightness of the connection between the two. Combined with the use of the sealing gasket 13, sealing surface 14, and sealing surface 2 15, a multiple sealing effect is achieved to avoid the risk of gas leakage. Finally, the connecting piece 6 is used to position the rotating ring 4 to prevent it from rotating loose, affecting the stability of the connection between the positioning heads 10 and the positioning grooves 9, and preventing the end cover 2 from loosening. When the sealing gasket 13 is aged and needs to be replaced, use a tool to loosen the connector 6. At this time, the rotating ring 4 is in a relaxed state. Then, the rotating ring 4 is rotated to drive the multiple positioning heads 10 to rotate, so that the positioning heads 10 are separated from the positioning grooves 9, thereby loosening the end cover 2 and facilitating the disassembly of the end cover 2, thereby making it convenient to replace the sealing gasket 13 and having strong practicality.

[0028] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
