Method used

A new type of pneumatic diaphragm actuator was designed. A pneumatic diaphragm assembly was set between the upper shell and the lower shell. The movement of the movable shaft was controlled by alternating inflation and exhaust of the first air port and the second air port. The movement of the movable shaft was manually controlled by connecting the threaded sleeve and the threaded section of the movable shaft.

Benefits of technology

In the absence of air source or air source failure, the actuator can still work normally, and manual control does not affect the sealing and subsequent pneumatic control, making movement more convenient.

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pneumatic actuators, in particular to a novel pneumatic film actuator. Background Art

[0002] A pneumatic diaphragm actuator is a device that uses compressed air as a power source and drives the movement of the rod through the action of air pressure on the diaphragm. It is mainly used for opening and closing or adjusting valves in industrial control systems. Pneumatic diaphragm actuators are widely used in the chemical, petroleum, metallurgy, electric power and other industries due to their simple structure, fast response speed, high reliability and wide range of applications.

[0003] The working principle of a pneumatic diaphragm actuator is that when compressed air enters the air chamber of the actuator, the air pressure acts on the diaphragm, causing the diaphragm to deform and push the rod, thereby opening, closing or precisely adjusting the valve. However, pneumatic diaphragm actuators are highly dependent on the air source to operate. If there is no air source or the air source fails, the operation of the actuator will be hindered.

[0004] In view of this, a new type of pneumatic diaphragm actuator is proposed. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figure 1-5 .

[0026] The utility model discloses a new pneumatic diaphragm actuator, including an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2, which are fixedly connected and sealed between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. A first air port 6 is provided at the top of the upper shell 1, and a second air port 7 is provided at the bottom of the lower shell 2. A pneumatic diaphragm assembly 3 is provided between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. The bottom of the pneumatic diaphragm assembly 3 is fixedly connected with a trigger plate 5, and the bottom of the trigger plate 5 is fixedly connected with a movable shaft 4. The movable shaft 4 is slidably connected to the lower shell 2, and the bottom of the lower shell 2 is fixedly connected with a mounting bracket 8. The bottom of the movable shaft 4 is arranged through the mounting bracket 8. The first air port 6 and the second air port 7 are used to inflate one of them and exhaust the other to improve the control efficiency of the movable shaft 4. Specifically, when the first air port 6 is inflated and the second air port 7 is exhausted, the diaphragm body 32 can be controlled to move downward more quickly. When the first air port 6 is exhausted and the second air port 7 is inflated, the diaphragm body 32 can be moved upward more quickly. This arrangement can make the movement of the movable shaft 4 more sensitive.

[0027] In addition, the pneumatic diaphragm assembly 3 includes a diaphragm body 32 fixedly connected to the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, and a plurality of springs 31 are fixedly connected to the top of the diaphragm body 32. One end of the plurality of springs 31 is fixedly connected to the diaphragm body 32, and the other end of the plurality of springs 31 is fixedly connected to the upper shell 1. The pneumatic diaphragm assembly 3 is used to drive the movable shaft 4 to move upward or downward through the trigger plate 5.

[0028] In addition, the bottom of the lower shell 2 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 9, and a screw sleeve 11 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 9. A threaded section 10 is provided in the middle of the movable shaft 4, and the threaded section 10 is threadedly connected to the screw sleeve 11. The screw sleeve 11 is used to move the movable shaft 4 upward or downward when rotating. Figure 5 As shown, the middle part of the rotating rod 9 is hollow, the top of the rotating rod 9 is rotatably connected to the lower shell 2, the top of the movable shaft 4 is slidably connected to the lower shell 2, and the bottom of the movable shaft 4 is slidably connected to the mounting bracket 8, so the rotating rod 9 can also be limited in the horizontal direction.

[0029] Furthermore, a rotating block 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the screw sleeve 11, and a rotating groove 13 for rotating the rotating block 12 is provided on the rotating rod 9. That is to say, the screw sleeve 11 is threadedly connected to the threaded segment 10 and rotationally connected to the rotating rod 9. Therefore, when the screw sleeve 11 rotates, the threaded segment 10 will drive the movable shaft 4 to move upward or downward.

[0030] Secondly, a first bevel gear 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the screw sleeve 11, and a second bevel gear 15 is meshed with the first speed wheel. The second bevel gear 15 and the first bevel gear 14 are staggered. A control rod 16 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 8. One end of the control rod 16 is fixedly connected to the second bevel gear 15, and the other end of the control rod 16 is fixedly connected to the turning handle 17. It should be noted that when the movable shaft 4 is controlled to move up and down through the first air port 6 and the second air port 7, the turning handle 17 will also rotate accordingly. This setting will not affect the normal use of the device.

[0031] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations that come within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims be embraced within the present invention.
