[0001] The utility model relates to a buffer device, in particular to a buffer device and a valve of an actuator, belonging to the technical field of buffer devices. Background Art

[0002] In the field of valve control, rapid valve closing is a critical operational process. However, the rapid movement of the valve during this process generates significant impact force, which not only produces loud noise but also damages the sealing surface, affecting the normal operation and service life of the equipment. Therefore, effectively absorbing and buffering this impact force is a major technical challenge in these fields.

[0003] Existing solutions primarily involve installing buffer devices, such as springs and cushions, between the valve and cylinder to absorb and cushion the impact. These devices can reduce the impact force to a certain extent, but due to limitations in their structure and operating principles, they often cannot fully absorb and cushion the huge impact force, resulting in equipment damage and continued noise issues.

Therefore, developing a new shock absorber that can effectively absorb and cushion significant impact forces, improve equipment stability and service life, and simultaneously increase response speed remains a pressing challenge in these areas.

[0029] See also Figure 1 The actuator piston 1-5 can slide axially along the inner wall of the actuator housing 1-2; a plurality of actuator guide shafts 1-3 are provided between the actuator upper cover 1-1 and the actuator piston 1-5, and the actuator guide shafts 1-3 fix and guide the actuator spring 1-4, and the actuator spring 1-4 remains in a compressed state; the actuator piston 1-5 is fixedly connected to the actuator push rod 1-6; the buffer block 2 is fixed at the lower end of the actuator housing 1-2, and has a closed air storage space between it and the actuator piston 1-5; the buffer block 2 has an exhaust port 3 that can be opened and closed with controllable opening and closing.

[0030] See also Figure 1 , the actuator push rod 1-6 passes through the buffer block 2 and slides with the buffer block 2; the buffer housing 6 is fixed on the buffer block 2 and limits the maximum stroke of the actuator piston 1-5 downward movement;

[0031] Combine Figure 2The buffer piston 7 is annular and is sleeved between the actuator push rod 1-6 and the buffer housing 6. Its upper part presses against the actuator piston 1-5, and its lower part is connected to the oil discharge channel 9 buried inside the buffer block 2. The oil discharge channel 9 is connected to the hydraulic accumulator 4.

[0032] Continue to see Figure 2 The upper portion of the buffer piston 7 is also fixedly connected to the nylon pad 5, and the nylon pad 5 can move downward under the push of the actuator piston 1-5, further improving the effect of the buffering effect.

[0033] The accumulator 4 is a hydraulic accumulator 4 with an air bag 4-3 inside. The air bag 4-3 separates the inside of the accumulator housing 4-2 into chamber 1 11 and chamber 2 10 from the inside to the outside.

[0043] Step 3: Prepare the pneumatic actuator 1, and securely connect the actuator housing 1-2 to the buffer block 2;

[0044] Step 4: When the valve connected to the actuator push rod 1-6 is quickly closed, the actuator spring 1-4 in the compressed state is quickly released, and a huge impact force is generated on the valve through the connected actuator piston 1-5 and the actuator push rod 1-6. At this time, the hydraulic oil in the oil discharge chamber 9 is quickly pressed into the second chamber 10. At the same time, the accumulator 4 starts to work, and the valve is quickly closed.

[0045] Step 5: As the pressure in chamber 2 10 increases, the nitrogen pressure in chamber 1 11 gradually increases. At this time, the resistance to the downward movement of the actuator piston 1-5 gradually increases, and the impact force is absorbed. At this time, the valve slowly closes, effectively avoiding permanent damage to the valve and impact noise caused by excessive impact, while improving the response speed.
