Although this connection method is simple and reliable, in actual applications, due to the complex and changeable working environment, such as the influence of external factors such as vibration and impact, the screw connection is prone to loosening. Once the connection is loose, it will not only affect the normal operation of the valve electric actuator, resulting in inaccurate control of the fluid medium, but may even cause safety accidents and seriously reduce the stability of the entire system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] 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.

[0024] See also Figure 1-4A new type of valve electric actuator includes a valve body 1, an actuator body 2 and an auxiliary limit device. The left and right ends of the valve body 1 are both equipped with connecting plates 3. The top of the valve body 1 is welded with a lower connecting seat 4. The side wall of the actuator body 2 is equipped with a driving motor 5. The bottom end of the actuator body 2 is equipped with an upper connecting seat 6. The upper connecting seat 6 is provided with a plurality of upper connecting holes 7 in a ring shape. The lower connecting seat 4 is provided with a plurality of lower connecting holes 8 in a ring shape. A threaded rod 9 is threadedly installed between the upper connecting hole 7 and the lower connecting hole 8. The auxiliary limit device includes a movable groove 10, a limit The movable groove 10 is provided on the side wall of the lower connecting hole 8 away from the center of the lower connecting seat 4. The limit block 13 is movably installed in the movable groove 10. The side wall of the lower connecting seat 4 is threaded with the limit screw 11. The limit screw 11 is connected to the limit block 13 through the bearing seat 12. The left and right ends of the movable groove 10 are both equipped with the slide groove 14. The left and right ends of the limit block 13 are both equipped with the slide block 15. The slide block 15 slides with the slide groove 14. The spring 16 supporting the slider 15 is installed in the slide groove 14. In this embodiment, when in use, when the actuator body 2 needs to be installed on the valve body 1, first align the upper connecting seat 6 with the lower connecting seat 4, adjust the angles of the upper connecting seat 6 and the lower connecting seat 4, so that each group of upper connecting holes 7 and lower connecting holes 8 are aligned, and then the threaded rod 9 is passed through the upper connecting holes 7 and the lower connecting holes 8 from top to bottom to thread the upper connecting seat 6 and the lower connecting seat 4, and then manually rotate the limiting screw 11. During the rotation process, the limiting screw 11 extends and moves in the direction of the movable groove 10, and the limiting screw 11 is rotated. The screw 11 drives the limit block 13 to move linearly from the movable groove 10 toward the threaded rod 9 under the action of the bearing seat 12. The sliders 15 at both ends of the limit block 13 also move with the limit block 13 toward the threaded rod 9 under the action of the spring 16. When the side wall of the limit block 13 contacts the side wall of the threaded rod 9, the rotation of the limit screw 11 is stopped. The movement of the limit block 13 is limited by the thread of the limit screw 11. At the same time, the slider 15 is supported by the spring 16 in the slide groove 14 to ensure that the limit block 13 can stably assist in limiting the threaded rod 9, thereby realizing a stable connection between the valve body 1 and the actuator body 2.

[0025] During actual use, the movement of the slider 15 is further guided. In this embodiment, a guide rod 17 is fixedly installed in the slide groove 14, and the slider 15 is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rod 17. The guide rod 17 provides a clear path for the movement of the slider 15, ensuring that the slider 15 moves along a predetermined track in the slide groove 14, avoiding shaking or jumping caused by deviation from the track, thereby improving the stability of the entire device.

[0026] During actual use, it is further adapted to the side wall of the threaded rod 9. In this embodiment, the limit block 13 is designed in an arc shape at one end close to the threaded rod 9. The arc shape is more matched with the shape of the side wall of the threaded rod 9, which can ensure that the limit block 13 and the threaded rod 9 fit more closely, reduce the gap or looseness caused by shape mismatch, and thus improve the stability and reliability of the limiting effect.

[0027] During actual use, in order to further increase the friction with the side wall of the threaded rod 9, in this embodiment, a rubber pad 18 is installed at one end of the limit block 13 away from the limit screw 11. The material of the rubber pad 18 can increase the friction with the side wall of the threaded rod 9, so that the limit block 13 can be more stably fixed on the threaded rod 9 and is not easy to slide or shift, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the limiting effect.

[0028] During actual use, it is further convenient to manually drive the limit screw 11. In this embodiment, a knob 19 is installed at the end of the limit screw 11 away from the lower connecting seat 4. The design of the knob 19 allows the user to perform more precise and accurate operations. The user can accurately control the moving distance and force of the limit screw 11 by adjusting the rotation angle and force of the knob 19.

[0029] During actual use, in order to further improve the anti-slip property of the knob 19, in this embodiment, the knob 19 is installed with anti-slip grooves. The design of the anti-slip grooves increases the friction coefficient of the surface of the knob 19, so that the user's hand can hold the knob 19 more stably when it contacts it, reducing misoperation or operational errors caused by hand slippage.

[0030] In actual use, it is further convenient to manually adjust the opening and closing of the valve body 1. In this embodiment, a hand wheel 20 is installed on the top of the actuator body 2. When the electric actuator cannot work normally due to external factors, the hand wheel 20 provides a fast and direct emergency operation method, allowing the operator to manually adjust the opening and closing of the valve body 1 to ensure the continuity and safety of the production process.

[0031] During actual use, the stability of the operation of the drive motor 5 is further guaranteed. In this embodiment, the drive motor 5 is a servo motor. The servo motor can control the position, speed and torque with high precision. The servo motor adopts closed-loop control and has good stability. It can avoid problems such as stall and vibration, and ensure the stability and accuracy of the operation of the drive motor 5.

[0032] In order to explain in detail the possible application scenarios, technical principles, specific solutions that can be implemented, and the purpose and effects of this application, the following is a detailed description of the specific embodiments listed in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described herein are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are therefore only examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.
