[0002] The actuator is an essential component of an automatic control system. Its function is to receive control signals from the controller and change the size of the controlled medium, thereby maintaining the controlled variable at the desired value or within a certain range. Actuators can be divided into three categories based on their energy source: pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric. Pneumatic actuators use compressed air as their energy source and are characterized by simple structure, reliable and stable operation, high output thrust, easy maintenance, fire and explosion resistance, and low price. Therefore, they are widely used in production processes such as chemical, papermaking, and oil refining, and can be easily used in conjunction with passive instruments.

[0003] The existing pneumatic actuator and butterfly valve are fixed to the bottom of the pneumatic actuator by bolts. The bolt connection method makes installation inconvenient and prone to thread slippage. The connection between the flange and the pneumatic actuator is usually sealed with a sealing ring. Due to the gap in the connection, the sealing ring is easily aged and the sealing performance is reduced. Therefore, a butterfly valve actuator with good sealing performance is needed to meet the demand. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of anti-slip grooves are provided on the outer wall of the collar, and the anti-slip grooves are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the collar.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting ring is connected to the bottom end of the collar, and the outer diameter of the limiting ring is the same as the outer diameter of the collar, and the inner diameter is the same as the outer diameter of the joint.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] In the utility model, the joint, spring, collar and trapezoidal block cooperate with each other, so that under the action of the spring force, the tapered hole in the collar is always in contact with the trapezoidal block, thereby generating a thrust for pushing the trapezoidal block into the socket, and the other end of the trapezoidal block is inclined against the bottom end of the flange to generate a thrust for pushing into the socket, so that the contact between the flange and the socket is tighter, thereby realizing a sealed connection between the butterfly valve and the pneumatic actuator, and the utility model is easy to install and simple to operate.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-5 A butterfly valve actuator with good sealing performance includes a butterfly valve 1 and a pneumatic actuator 2. The butterfly valve 1 is connected to a flange 3, and a first sealing ring 4 is provided on the flange 3. The bottom end of the pneumatic actuator 2 is connected to a joint 5, and a socket 6 is provided on the bottom end of the joint 5. A second sealing ring 7 is provided in the socket 6. The flange 3 is arranged in the socket 6. An annular groove 8 is provided on the outer wall of the joint 5, and a spring 9 is connected to the inner wall of the top end of the annular groove 8. A collar 10 is connected to the spring 9, and a tapered hole 11 is provided in the collar 10. The joint 5 is located in the side wall of the annular groove 8 and is slidably connected to a plurality of trapezoidal blocks 12. The inclined surface of one end of the trapezoidal block 12 is adapted to the tapered hole 11, and the inclined surface of the other end contacts the bottom of the flange 3.

[0023] Through the cooperation among the joint 5, spring 9, collar 10 and trapezoidal block 12, the collar 10 is under the elastic force of the spring 9, and the tapered hole 11 in the collar 10 is always in contact with the trapezoidal block 12, thereby generating a thrust for pushing the trapezoidal block 12 into the socket 6. The other end of the trapezoidal block 12 is inclined against the bottom end of the flange 3 to generate a thrust for pushing into the socket 6, thereby making the contact between the flange 3 and the socket 6 closer, realizing a sealed connection between the butterfly valve 1 and the pneumatic actuator 2, and convenient installation and simple operation. By opening the socket 6, the first sealing ring 4 and the second sealing ring 7 are placed inside the socket 6 to prevent exposure to the outside world, effectively avoiding the aging of the first sealing ring 4 and the second sealing ring 7, and further ensuring the sealing effect.

[0024] Specifically, in this embodiment, a plurality of positioning pins 13 are connected to the socket 6, and a plurality of screw holes 14 are provided on the flange 3. Each positioning pin 13 is respectively inserted into the screw hole 14 at the corresponding position, and the original screw hole 14 on the flange 3 is retained. The positioning pins 13 are provided to provide positioning for the insertion of the flange 3 to prevent rotation between the pneumatic actuator 2 and the butterfly valve 1.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the annular groove 8 does not pass through both ends of the joint 5, and is arranged in the middle of the joint 5. The inner wall of one end of the annular groove 8 provides compression and rebound support for the spring 9, and the other end provides a limit for the ring 10 to prevent the elastic force of the spring 9 from pushing the ring 10 out of the annular groove 8.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, a plurality of anti-slip grooves 15 are provided on the outer wall of the collar 10 . The anti-slip grooves 15 are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the collar 10 to prevent the collar 10 from slipping when being pushed to move.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, a limiting ring 16 is connected to the bottom end of the ring 10. The outer diameter of the limiting ring 16 is the same as the outer diameter of the ring 10, and the inner diameter is the same as the outer diameter of the joint 5. The limiting ring 16 provides a limit for the outward movement of the trapezoidal block 12 to prevent the trapezoidal block 12 from separating from the joint 5.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, a plurality of sliding holes 17 are provided on the side wall of the annular groove 8 of the connector 5 , and the sliding holes 17 extend into the insertion hole 6 . A plurality of trapezoidal blocks 12 are respectively slidably connected in the sliding holes 17 , providing a stable movement guide for the trapezoidal blocks 12 .

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the end of the trapezoidal block 12 facing away from the flange 3 is slightly inclined, and tilts from top to bottom from the inside of the joint 5 to the outside, so that the trapezoidal block 12 can move outward when the flange 3 is inserted into the insertion hole 6.

[0030] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to them. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and they should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
