[0004] Although the above-mentioned device adopts the hand wheel rod to reduce the rotation burden of the valve hand wheel, however, the hand wheel rod is exposed on the surface of the valve hand wheel when rotating, when the device is used in a humid environment, the rotating connection between the hand wheel rod and the valve hand wheel is easy to rust due to water vapor, which increases the rotation burden of the hand wheel rod and increases the use difficulty of the staff.

[0005] Therefore, a valve hand wheel capable of realizing electric or pneumatic switch is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0006] The utility model aims at providing a valve hand wheel capable of realizing electric or pneumatic switch to solve the above-mentioned problems, and improving the low protection performance of the existing valve hand wheel capable of reducing the rotation difficulty of the staff.

[0007] The utility model realizes the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical scheme, a valve hand wheel capable of realizing electric or pneumatic switch, comprising: a disc, a rim and two extension mechanisms, the connecting rods in annular distribution are fixedly connected between the disc and the rim, the bottom of the disc is provided with a shaft pin hole, and the opposite ends of the two connecting rods are both provided with installation cavities.

[0008] Preferably, the extension mechanism comprises an extension rod slidingly connected in the installation cavity, one end of the extension rod penetrates out of the installation cavity, one end of the extension rod is fixedly connected with a sealing plug in contact with the installation cavity, and the diameter of the sealing plug is greater than the inner diameter of the installation cavity.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0024] In practical implementation: such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a valve handwheel capable of electric or pneumatic switching includes: a wheel 100, a wheel rim 200, and two extension mechanisms 400. A connecting rod 300 arranged in a ring is fixedly connected between the wheel 100 and the wheel rim 200. A shaft pin hole 110 is provided at the bottom of the wheel 100, and mounting cavities 310 are provided at the opposite ends of the two connecting rods 300.

[0025] Before using the device, the user needs to securely lock the shaft pin hole 110 to the valve stem using threads, shaft pins, or welding, so that the wheel 100 is fixedly connected to the valve stem. When the user needs to adjust the valve stem through the wheel rim 200, the user only needs to rotate the wheel rim 200 in the corresponding direction. The wheel rim 200 drives the connecting rod 300 to rotate, and the connecting rod 300 drives the wheel 100 to rotate. The wheel rim 100 drives the valve stem to rotate accordingly through the shaft pin hole 110, so that the valve stem can be stably adjusted.

[0026] The top of the wheel 100 is provided with a hexagonal groove 120. When the user needs to adjust the valve stem by electric or pneumatic switch, the user needs to connect the hexagonal post that matches the hexagonal groove 120 to the output shaft of the electric or pneumatic switch through the existing connection method. Then the hexagonal post can be inserted into the hexagonal groove 120. At this time, the operator only needs to drive the electric or pneumatic switch to rotate in the corresponding direction. The electric or pneumatic switch drives the hexagonal post to rotate. The hexagonal post drives the wheel 100 to rotate through the hexagonal groove 120. The wheel 100 drives the valve stem to rotate accordingly through the shaft pin hole 110, so that the valve stem can be stably adjusted. This can effectively reduce the rotation burden of the user and reduce the difficulty of operation for the operator.

[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the extension mechanism 400 includes an extension rod 410 slidably connected inside the mounting cavity 310. One end of the extension rod 410 extends through the mounting cavity 310, and a sealing plug 420 is fixedly connected to the other end of the extension rod 410, which contacts the mounting cavity 310. The diameter of the sealing plug 420 is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting cavity 310. The inner bottom wall of the connecting rod 300 has a first threaded groove 320 communicating with the mounting cavity 310. The other end of the extension rod 410 is fixedly connected to a threaded post 440 threadedly connected to the first threaded groove 320. This can securely lock the extension rod 410 in the mounting cavity 310 when not in use, ensuring the sealing effect of the sealing plug 420 on the mounting cavity 310. The vertical cross-sectional shape of the mounting cavity 310 is convex, and the diameter of the threaded post 440 is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting cavity 310, which can prevent the extension rod 410 from being used. The extension rod 410 is completely pulled out of the mounting cavity 310 to prevent it from becoming loose or lost. The inner bottom wall of the connecting rod 300 has a second threaded groove 330 that communicates with the mounting cavity 310. The second threaded groove 330 matches the first threaded groove 320 and is located above the first threaded groove 320. This locks the extension rod 410, which extends out of the mounting cavity 310, in the corresponding position, thereby improving the stability of the user driving the extension rod 410. One end of the extension rod 410 is fixedly connected to a paddle 430, and one end of the paddle 430 passes through the sealing plug 420. This reduces the difficulty for the user to pull out and rotate the extension rod 410. The paddle 430 has a rectangular cross-section and rounded corners. This reduces the probability of the paddle 430 scratching the user's hand and increases the safety factor for the user to adjust the paddle 430.

[0028] Working principle: When the user needs to manually rotate the valve stem with force, the user drives the extension rod 410 to rotate via the lever 430. The extension rod 410 drives the threaded post 440 to unscrew the first threaded groove 320. Then, the user can easily move the extension rod 410 upward along the mounting cavity 310 via the lever 430. When the threaded post 440 is aligned with the second threaded groove 330, the user can rotate the lever 430 accordingly. The lever 430, through the extension rod 410, drives the threaded post 440 to thread into the second threaded groove 330. This enables... By locking the extension rod 410 in the corresponding position within the mounting cavity 310, the user can increase the rotational lever arm of the valve stem using the extension rod 410, thereby reducing the difficulty for the user to rotate the valve stem. Furthermore, the design of concealing the extension rod 410 inside the mounting cavity 310 and sealing the opening of the mounting cavity 310 with the sealing plug 420 effectively prevents external moisture and corrosive substances from corroding the extension rod 410. This not only improves the protective performance of the valve handwheel but also reduces the overall size of the valve handwheel, making it easier for the user to move the valve handwheel.

[0029] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
