Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pneumatic actuators for controlling the opening and closing of valves, in particular to a rotation conversion device of a pneumatic actuator. Background Art

[0002] Many valves on field pipelines use pneumatic actuators to control their opening and closing. There are many different types of valves, including rotary valves such as gate valves and globe valves, which generally use multi-rotary pneumatic actuators for opening and closing. There are also quarter-turn valves such as ball valves and butterfly valves, whose stems rotate between 0 and 90 degrees. These quarter-turn valves are currently commonly controlled by quarter-turn pneumatic actuators, such as rack and pinion or scotch fork types. However, these quarter-turn pneumatic actuators have high drive speeds and short valve opening and closing times, which can easily cause water hammer in quarter-turn valves, shortening their service life.

[0005] Furthermore, the reducer is a planetary reducer, the main shaft is coaxially fixed with the sun gear of the planetary reducer, and the planetary carrier of the planetary reducer is coaxially fixed with the drive nut to drive the drive nut to rotate.

[0006] Furthermore, a mounting seat is fixedly provided on the angular stroke valve, the reduction housing in the reducer is fixed to the mounting seat, and the drive nut extends into the mounting seat and is rotatably connected to the mounting seat.

[0007] Furthermore, the driving nut and the mounting seat are rotationally connected via a thrust bearing.

[0008] Furthermore, the multi-rotation pneumatic actuator is an inner-curve pneumatic actuator.

[0009] Compared with the existing technology, the advantage of the present invention is that the multi-rotary pneumatic actuator can drive the valve of the angular stroke valve to rotate within the range of 0 to 90 degrees through the rotary conversion device to realize the opening and closing of the angular stroke valve, and the driving nut in the rotary conversion device is driven to rotate by the output end of the reducer, and its rotation speed is slow, which reduces the opening and closing speed of the angular stroke valve, avoids the water hammer effect of the angular stroke valve, and ensures the service life of the valve; in addition, the rotary conversion device also makes the multi-rotary pneumatic actuator more adaptable.
