Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of valve control, and in particular to a hydraulic fork actuator for a control valve. Background Technology
[0002] A hydraulic fork actuator is a device used to control the opening and closing of a control valve. It is connected to the handwheel of the control valve, and the valve's opening and closing are achieved by rotating the handwheel. In the prior art, utility model patent application number 201921550662.0 discloses a transmission device for a fork hydraulic actuator, which mainly consists of a fork rod, a pin, a hydraulic cylinder, and a crossbar. In use, the hydraulic cylinder causes the crossbar to move the pin, which in turn slides on the fork rod, controlling the rotation of the fork rod. This, in turn, causes the shaft connected to the fork rod to rotate, thus controlling the opening and closing of the external control valve. However, this device has the following problems: during use, the pin needs to slide on the fork rod, which easily leads to wear of the fork rod after long-term use, making it inconvenient to use and resulting in a short service life. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a hydraulic shift fork actuator for control valves that lubricates the shift fork lever through a lubrication mechanism during use, reducing wear on the shift fork lever, ensuring the service life of the shift fork lever, and is convenient to use and highly practical.
[0004] This utility model relates to a hydraulic fork-type actuator for a control valve, comprising a protective housing, a mounting bracket, a rotating shaft, and a fork lever. The protective housing contains a chamber, and the mounting bracket is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the protective housing. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the protective housing, with its lower end located on the lower side of the housing. The front part of the fork lever is fixedly fitted onto the upper part of the rotating shaft. It also includes a drive mechanism and a lubrication mechanism. The drive mechanism is mounted on the protective housing and the fork lever, and is used to drive the fork lever to rotate. The output end of the lubrication mechanism is located on the fork lever, and the lubrication mechanism is used to lubricate the fork lever. The lower end of the rotating shaft is connected to the control handwheel on an external control valve, and then the protective housing is fixedly mounted on an external support via the mounting bracket. When it is necessary to control the opening and closing of the control valve, the drive mechanism is activated, causing the fork lever to rotate. The fork lever then rotates the rotating shaft, which in turn rotates the handwheel on the control valve, thus achieving the opening and closing of the control valve. Simultaneously, the lubrication mechanism lubricates the fork lever during use, reducing wear and ensuring its service life. It is convenient to use and highly practical.
[0005] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a moving mechanism, a slider, a connecting shaft, and a moving block. The shift fork is provided with a groove, and the slider is slidably installed within the groove. The upper part of the connecting shaft is fixedly installed on the slider, and the lower part of the connecting shaft is provided with a bearing.

The moving mechanism is used to move the moving block left and right, and is mounted on a protective shell. When the shift fork is rotated, the moving mechanism is activated, causing the moving block to move left and right. This, in turn, causes the connecting shaft to move the slider left and right, thereby causing the shift fork to rotate. This, in turn, rotates the rotating shaft, controlling the opening and closing of the external control valve, improving convenience.
[0006] Preferably, it also includes a fixing rod, which is fixedly installed on the protective shell, and the movable block is slidably installed on the fixing rod from left to right; the above configuration improves the stability of the movable block during movement.

When it is necessary to move the moving block in the left and right direction, the hydraulic cylinder is opened, and the hydraulic cylinder drives the moving block to move in the left and right direction through the push rod. This facilitates the left and right movement of the moving block.
[0008] Preferably, the lubrication mechanism includes an oil supply mechanism, two sets of oil supply pipes and a delivery pipe. Oil passages are provided on both the left and right sides of the shift fork, and multiple sets of oil drain holes are provided on both the left and right sides of the shift fork slide groove.

The output ends of the two sets of oil supply pipes are respectively connected to the input ends of the two sets of oil passages, and the input ends of the two sets of oil supply pipes are connected to the delivery pipe. The input end of the delivery pipe is connected to the oil supply mechanism, which supplies lubricating oil to the delivery pipe. When the shift fork is in use, lubricating oil is supplied to the delivery pipe through the oil supply mechanism. Then, the lubricating oil enters the two sets of oil passages through the delivery pipe and the two sets of oil supply pipes. Finally, the lubricating oil is discharged into the slide groove of the shift fork through the multiple sets of oil drain holes on the two sets of oil passages, lubricating the slide groove of the shift fork and reducing wear on the shift fork when the slider slides within the slide groove, thus ensuring the service life of the shift fork.
[0009] Preferably, the oil supply mechanism includes an oil tank, a delivery pump, and a hose. The input end of the delivery pump is connected to the oil tank, and the output end of the delivery pump is connected to the delivery pipe through the hose. When the shift fork lever is in use, the delivery pump is turned on, so that the lubricating oil in the oil tank is delivered to the delivery pipe in sequence through the delivery pump and the hose, which facilitates the delivery of lubricating oil.
