Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a valve positioner protection mechanism, including a valve positioner body 1, a protective shell 2 movably connected to the top of the surface of the valve positioner body 1, a top plate 3 movably connected to the top of the protective shell 2, a sealing mechanism 4 fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top plate 3, and an installation mechanism 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the front and rear sides of the protective shell 2.
[0022] refer to Figure 1 The capping mechanism 4 includes a first support plate 41. The top of the left and right sides of the protective shell 2 are fixedly connected to a second support plate 42. A rotating rod 43 is provided on the top of the first support plate 41. The end of the rotating rod 43 near the valve positioner body 1 passes through the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 in sequence and extends to the bottom of the second support plate 42. The rotating rod 43 is threadedly connected to the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42.
[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a capping mechanism 4, the rotating rod 43 can fix and limit the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42. The fixation and limitation of the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 can fix and limit the top plate 3 and the protective shell 2. By rotating the rotating rod 43, it is convenient for the user to disassemble the top plate 3 and the pressure plate 7.
[0024] refer to Figure 1The mounting mechanism 5 includes a first mounting member 51. The inner wall of the first mounting member 51 is movably connected to the top of the surface of the valve positioner body 1. The front and rear sides of the bottom of the surface of the valve positioner body 1 are movably connected to second mounting members 52. A positioning bolt 53 is provided on the top of the first mounting member 51. The end of the positioning bolt 53 near the second mounting member 52 passes through the first mounting member 51 and the second mounting member 52 in sequence and extends to the bottom of the second mounting member 52. The positioning bolt 53 is threadedly connected to the first mounting member 51 and the second mounting member 52.
[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up the installation mechanism 5, the positioning bolt 53 can fix and limit the first mounting part 51 and the second mounting part 52, and the fixing and limiting of the first mounting part 51 and the second mounting part 52 can position the protective shell 2.
[0026] refer to Figure 3 Each of the four corners of the bottom of the top plate 3 is fixedly connected with a telescopic spring 6, and the other end of the four telescopic springs 6 is fixedly connected with a pressure plate 7, which is located on the top of the valve positioner body 1.
[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a telescopic spring 6 and a pressure plate 7, the elasticity of the telescopic spring 6 can push the pressure plate 7 to fit against the top of the valve positioner body 1, thereby providing protection for valve positioner bodies 1 of different specifications.
[0028] refer to Figure 5 High-density sponge 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the left and right sides of the inner wall of the protective shell 2. The inner side of the high-density sponge 8 has an adaptation groove 9, and the adaptation groove 9 has several cuts that are evenly distributed.
[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting high-density sponge 8 and adaptation groove 9, the high-density sponge 8 can seal the gap between the protective shell 2 and the valve positioner body 1, thereby improving the protective effect. The adaptation groove 9 improves the extensibility of the high-density sponge 8, making the high-density sponge 8 suitable for valve positioner bodies 1 with more shapes.
[0030] refer to Figure 3 Telescopic rods 10 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the top plate 3. The other end of the telescopic rod 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate 7. The surface of the telescopic rod 10 is movably connected to the inner wall of the telescopic spring 6. A protective pad 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 7. The bottom of the protective pad 11 is in contact with the top of the valve positioner body 1.
[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the telescopic rod 10 and the protective pad 11, the telescopic rod 10 can limit the telescopic spring 6, thereby preventing the telescopic spring 6 from twisting, and the protective pad 11 can prevent the pressure plate 7 from having hard friction with the top of the valve positioner body 1.
[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the protective shell 2 is first placed on top of the valve positioner body 1. At this time, the inner wall of the first mounting part 51 is in contact with the top surface of the valve positioner body 1. Then, the second mounting part 52 is moved to the bottom of the valve positioner body 1 and the first mounting part 51. Then, the first mounting part 51 and the second mounting part 52 are fixed with the positioning bolt 53. At this time, the high-density sponge 8 can seal the gap between the protective shell 2 and the valve positioner body 1, improving the protective effect. Then, the top plate 3 is moved so that the bottom of the protective pad 11 is in contact with the top of the valve positioner body 1. Then, the top plate 3 is pressed down so that the bottom of the top plate 3 is in contact with the top of the protective shell 2. At this time, the telescopic spring 6 and the telescopic rod 10 can extend and retract according to the height of the valve positioner body 1 of different specifications, with good adaptability. Finally, the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 are fixed with the rotating rod 43 to fix the top plate 3 and complete the installation. The protective shell 2, the top plate 3, the pressure plate 7 and the high-density sponge 8 provide good protection.
[0033] In summary, this valve positioner protection mechanism, by setting up a protective shell 2 and a top plate 3, can cover and shield the valve positioner body 1, thereby preventing collisions with the outside world. This solves the problem that existing valve positioners installed at pipe connections lack external protective structures and are prone to damage to their internal components during use when collisions occur, thus requiring regular maintenance, which is quite troublesome.
