[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0041] Please see Figures 1-6 The embodiments provided by this utility model are as follows:

[0042] A flexible control variable frequency electric actuator is disclosed. A flexible control component 2 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the electric actuator 1 by screws. The output shaft of the electric actuator 1 is connected to the rotating shaft assembly 4 inside the flexible control component 2. The flexible control component 2 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the electric actuator 1 by screws to ensure that the two are tightly connected. This allows the output shaft of the electric actuator 1 to be stably connected to the rotating shaft assembly 4 inside the flexible control component 2, thereby transmitting the power of the electric actuator 1 to the rotating shaft assembly 4 and providing a power basis for subsequent flexible control actions.

[0043] The flexible control component 2 includes a housing 21, a shaft hole 22, a buffer mechanism, and a fixed plate 3. The two sides of the housing 21 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the electric actuator 1 by screws. The bottom surface of the housing 21 is integrally formed with the fixed plate 3. The two sides of the housing 21 are fixed to the bottom surface of the electric actuator 1, and the bottom surface is integrally formed with the fixed plate 3, forming a closed and stable structural space. The top surface of the housing 21 has a shaft hole 22, and the rotating shaft assembly 4 is rotatably connected in the shaft hole 22. The shaft hole 22 provides rotational support for the rotating shaft assembly 4. When the rotating shaft assembly 4 rotates, it rotates smoothly in the shaft hole 22, reducing the additional resistance and instability caused by shaking. The rotating shaft assembly 4 includes an input shaft 41, a rotating shaft body 42, and an elliptical plate 43. The input shaft 41 is integrally formed with the top surface of the rotating shaft body 42. The side wall of the rotating shaft body 42 is integrally formed with the elliptical plate 43. The elliptical plate 43 is rotatably connected in a rotating groove 23 opened inside the housing 21 with the rotating shaft body 42 as the center.

[0044] The inside of the shell 21 is provided with a fixing groove on each side, and a first buffer mechanism 24 is respectively inserted and installed in the fixing groove. The end of the first buffer mechanism 24 is slidably connected with the side wall of the elliptical plate 43, and the internal elastic member of the first buffer mechanism 24 is slidably connected in the buffer mechanism.

[0045] Specifically, the elastic member includes a sleeve 241, a piston rod 244, a limiting disc 245, a spring 246 and a pulley 247. The sleeve 241 is inserted in the fixing groove in the inside of the shell 21. The piston rod 244 is slidably connected in the inside of the sleeve 241. The end of the piston rod 244 is fixedly connected with the limiting disc 245. The limiting disc 245 is slidably connected in the inside of the sleeve 241. The spring 246 is sleeved on the side wall of the piston rod 244 between the limiting disc 245 and the sleeve 241. The end of the piston rod 244 is provided with a groove. The pulley 247 is rotatably connected in the groove through a shaft. The pulley 247 is slidably connected on the side wall of the elliptical plate. When the electric actuator 1 stops or the action changes, the rotation of the elliptical plate 43 will extrude the first buffer mechanism 24. The piston rod 244 slides in the sleeve 241, the limiting disc 245 compresses the spring 246, and the elastic force generated by the spring 246 resists the extrusion force of the elliptical plate 43, thereby playing a buffering role. At the same time, the pulley 247 slides on the side wall of the elliptical plate 43, thereby reducing the frictional resistance and making the buffering process more stable.

[0046] The tail of the sleeve 241 is provided with a hydraulic cylinder 243, which is inserted in the fixing groove in the inside of the shell 21. The tail of the piston rod 244 is provided with a piston. The piston rod 244 is slidably connected in the inside of the hydraulic cylinder 243. The side wall of the hydraulic cylinder 243 is fixedly connected with a mounting disc 242, which is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the shell 21 through screws. When the piston rod 244 is extruded to move into the sleeve 241, the piston at the tail of the piston rod 244 slides in the hydraulic cylinder 243, extrudes the liquid in the hydraulic cylinder 243, and the liquid flows in the hydraulic cylinder 243, thereby further consuming energy and enhancing the buffering effect.

[0047] The bottom of the rotating shaft assembly 4 is provided with a secondary buffering mechanism, which is rotationally connected in a rotating groove 23 formed in the inside of the fixing disc 3, and comprises an upper protruding jaw 44, an elastic body 45, a lower protruding jaw 46 and a driving shaft 47. The top surface of the upper protruding jaw 44 is integrally formed with the bottom surface of the rotating shaft body 42. The upper protruding jaw 44 and the lower protruding jaw 46 are inserted with each other. The elastic body 45 is clamped between the upper protruding jaw 44 and the lower protruding jaw 46. The bottom surface of the lower protruding jaw 46 is integrally formed with the driving shaft 47 for driving the valve. When the driving shaft 47 is subjected to the reaction force of the external valve and other loads, the elastic body 45 between the upper protruding jaw 44 and the lower protruding jaw 46 will be elastically deformed. The elastic member is in the shape of a plum blossom. The elastic body 45 is made of polyurethane and other elastic materials. When the upper protruding jaw 44 and the lower protruding jaw 46 are dislocated due to torque, the elastic body 45 is subjected to extrusion deformation, thereby playing a buffering role. The output end of the actuator can buffer the reaction force of the load, thereby avoiding damage to the valve and other equipment caused by overshoot or emergency stop of the actuator.

[0048] The inside of the fixing disc 3 is provided with a mounting groove 25, and the bearing 26 is mounted in the mounting groove 25. The side wall of the upper protruding jaw 44 and the lower protruding jaw 46 is inserted with the inner ring of the bearing 26. This reduces energy loss and component wear, improves the working efficiency and service life of the entire secondary buffering mechanism, and ensures that it can stably play a flexible buffering role in long-term operation.

[0049] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
