[0027] In the embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The front end of the mounting frame 1 is provided with a U-shaped frame, and a manual pump handle is inserted through one side of the U-shaped frame; when the use of the manual pump handle is finished, the manual pump handle is inserted into the U-shaped frame for placement, and when used, the manual pump handle is directly taken off from the U-shaped frame, thereby improving the convenience during use.

[0028] The use method and advantages of the low-pressure actuator are as follows:

[0029] As shown in the figure, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, first in remote control mode, pipeline pressure is normal, high pressure pilot valve 6 and low pressure pilot valve 5 do not work, pneumatic control valve 10 gas path is unobstructed, gas source enters cylinder 22 through pneumatic control valve 10, and the valve is automatically opened under the action of the external gas source; in the case of abnormal pipeline pressure (over high / low), high pressure pilot valve 6 and low pressure pilot valve 5 work, providing a signal gas acting on pneumatic control valve 10, and pneumatic control valve 10 changes direction - at this time, the gas path of pneumatic control valve 10 is not open, the remote gas source is cut off, and the hydraulic oil of accumulator 3 returns to oil cylinder 25 through the oil return pipe, and the valve is automatically closed;

[0030] Under normal circumstances, hydraulic manual operation is only used in the absence of hydraulic power source and on-site power gas source, first close the first ball valve 18, then insert the handle into the hole of the manual pump, press the handle repeatedly, the valve can be slowly opened until the valve is fully opened, and the handle of the manual pump must be removed and returned to its original position;

[0031] In the absence of hydraulic power source and power gas source, open the first ball valve 18, and the valve is automatically closed;

[0032] Due to the alternation of day and night and seasons, the change of environmental temperature will cause reasonable fluctuation of the pressure at the interface of accumulator 3, and the user needs to regularly detect the pressure value change of the pressure gauge (valve full close to accumulator 3 pressure 2.5MPa), in the remote control mode position, close the first ball valve 18, close the second needle valve 17, open the first needle valve 16, and press the manual pump up and down to supplement the pressure of accumulator 3 (observe the oil level to the safe position), and return to the remote control mode after the operation is completed;

[0033] In the pneumatic valve, especially in the emergency shut-off valve ESD and emergency vent valve ESV, etc., these valves may have problems such as mechanical part sticking or jamming in the case of long-term inactivity, which may cause the valve to fail to act reliably in an emergency, and the PST (partial stroke test) function can ensure that the valve can respond normally when needed, while not affecting the normal operation of the entire system;

[0034] The manual reset function can ensure that the valve quickly cuts off the fluid supply in an emergency, effectively preventing fluid leakage and accidents, in addition, when the high and low pressure pilot valve detects abnormal pipeline fluid pressure (over high / low), it will automatically cut off the gas flow and reopen the valve through the manual reset function to ensure that the equipment continues to work normally, secondly, the manual reset function improves the reliability and safety of the system, and the design of the manual reset ball valve also includes an anti-tampering function, which cannot be operated unless the ball valve handle is reversed manually, further ensuring the safety of the system;

[0035] When the high-low pressure pilot valve detects abnormal pipeline fluid pressure (too high / too low), the valve is fully closed, and the system needs to be manually reset, first adjust the second three-way ball valve, at this time the second three-way ball valve will be exhaust; After the second three-way ball valve is exhausted for about 5 seconds, adjust the second three-way ball valve so that the system is in a normal working state.
