Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric actuator technology, specifically an explosion-proof electric actuator. Background Technology

[0002] Electric actuators are widely used actuators, typically used to control the opening and closing or regulation of valves, gates, plug valves, regulating valves, and other equipment. They can work safely and reliably in environments with flammable gases, steam, and liquids, effectively protecting life and property. Electric actuators usually adopt special materials and structural designs, featuring corrosion resistance and dust resistance, as well as high reliability, low noise, energy saving, and environmental protection. They are widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, natural gas, and metallurgy.

[0003] Traditional electric actuators are used in diverse environments. To prevent external impacts and the possibility of explosive components flying out under high loads, explosion-proof boxes are generally installed on the actuator to improve the overall safety factor. For convenient maintenance and repair, the explosion-proof box usually consists of a detachable upper and lower cover, each with bolts and nuts. The bolts and nuts are connected by personnel using tools, avoiding the inconvenience of subsequent maintenance in a one-piece design. However, connecting and disassembling the bolts and nuts requires personnel to use two appropriate wrenches, which is not very convenient. At the same time, the explosion-proof box is in a sealed environment, which cannot release the internal high pressure, thus leading to high-pressure explosions or safety hazards during disassembly and repair due to the high internal pressure. Improvements are needed. Therefore, we propose an explosion-proof electric actuator. Utility Model Content
