[0017] 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.
[0018] Example: Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model provides a valve actuator torque amplification structure, including a valve body 1, a valve plate 2 is rotatably installed inside the valve body 1, the top of the valve body 1 is fixedly connected to a mounting seat 3, the top of the valve plate 2 rotation shaft extends to the top of the mounting seat 3 and is fixedly connected to a gear 1 4, the top of the mounting seat 3 is rotatably connected to a gear 2 5 near the side of the gear 1 4, the gear 1 4 and the gear 2 5 are meshed together, the top of the mounting seat 3 is fixedly connected to a fixed cover 8, a worm 7 is rotatably connected between the two sides of the inner wall of the fixed cover 8 and above the gear 2 5, a worm gear 6 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft of the gear 2 5, the worm gear 6 is meshed with the worm 7, and one end of the rotating shaft of the worm 7 extends to the outside of the fixed cover 8 and is fixedly connected to a turning handle 9.
[0019] The turning handle 9 includes a sleeve 92 , and a telescopic plate 91 is slidably engaged inside the sleeve 92 . The top of the telescopic plate 91 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the worm 7 .
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the extension length of the telescopic plate 91 is adjusted along the inside of the sleeve 92, thereby adjusting the length of the lever arm of the turning handle 9, so that the operator can open or close the valve with less force, reducing the difficulty of operation.
[0021] Two symmetrically distributed fixed plates 94 are fixedly connected to one side of the top of the sleeve 92, and a pressing plate 95 is rotatably connected between the two fixed plates 94. An insertion rod 96 is fixedly connected to the side of the pressing plate 95 close to the telescopic plate 91. Equally spaced slots 93 are provided on the side of the telescopic plate 91 close to the fixed plate 94, and the insertion rod 96 is movably inserted into the slot 93. Torsion springs 97 are movably sleeved on the outer sides of the rotating shafts on both sides of the pressing plate 95, and the two ends of the torsion spring 97 are respectively fixedly connected to the pressing plate 95 and the fixed plate 94.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, by pressing the pressing plate 95 toward one side of the telescopic plate 91, away from the end of the insertion rod 96, the pressing plate 95 is driven to rotate, and the torsion spring 97 is compressed, so that the insertion rod 96 is disengaged from the inside of the slot 93, and the restriction on the sliding of the telescopic plate 91 along the inside of the sleeve 92 is released. When the handle 9 is adjusted to the appropriate length, by loosening the pressing plate 95, the elastic force of the torsion spring 97 is used to make the insertion rod 96 inserted into the corresponding slot 93, thereby fixing the relative position of the telescopic plate 91 and the sleeve 92, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the length of the telescopic plate 91.
[0023] The diameter of gear 2 5 is larger than the diameter of gear 1 4 .
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting the diameter of gear 2 5 to be larger than that of gear 1 4, under the condition of a certain transmission ratio, the larger gear can provide a larger output torque, thereby making it easier to drive the valve actuator to work.
[0025] The diameter of the slot 93 is larger than the diameter of the insertion rod 96 .
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting the diameter of the gap of the slot 93 to be larger than the diameter of the insertion rod 96 , the insertion rod 96 can be better inserted into the slot 93 .
[0027] Bearings 10 are provided at the contact points between the outer sides of the rotating shafts at both ends of the worm 7 and the fixed cover 8 .
[0028] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the bearing 10 , it is easier to rotate the adjustment handle 9 .
[0029] Working principle: When the valve uses the actuator, by turning the handle 9, the worm 7 is driven to rotate, and the worm wheel 6 and the worm 7 are meshed and connected, which drives the gear 2 5 and the worm wheel 6 to rotate at the same time. The self-locking function between the worm wheel 6 and the worm 7 is used to prevent the valve from opening or closing by itself when no external force is applied. The worm gear mechanism also has a certain torque amplification function. Due to the design of the meshing angle and the gear ratio of the worm and the worm wheel, the worm wheel can obtain a greater torque than the worm when rotating, making it easier to drive the valve actuator to work.
[0030] Gear 2 5 is meshed with gear 1 4 to drive gear 1 4 and valve plate 2 to rotate, thereby controlling the opening and closing of valve plate 2. The diameter of gear 2 5 is set to be larger than that of gear 1 4. Under a certain transmission ratio, the larger gear 2 5 can provide a greater output torque, further facilitating the operation of the valve actuator.
[0031] At the same time, by adjusting the extended length of the telescopic plate 91 along the inside of the sleeve 92, the length of the lever arm of the turning handle 9 is adjusted, and the extended length of the telescopic plate 91 is fixed by utilizing the cooperation between the insertion rod 96 and the slot 93, so that the operator can open or close the valve with less force, reducing the difficulty of operation.
[0032] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
