Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to an actuator, in particular to an angular stroke actuator. BACKGROUND
[0002] The actuator is an important component of the automatic control system. Its function is to accept the control signal sent by the controller, change the size of the controlled medium, and maintain the controlled variable at the required value or within a certain range. The actuator can be divided into three categories according to its energy form: pneumatic, hydraulic and electric. Different types of actuators have their own characteristics and application scenarios, and users should choose the appropriate actuator type according to actual needs.
[0003] The existing actuator execution mechanism structure includes a worm gear, which realizes the execution power output through the worm gear. However, this kind of execution mechanism has the disadvantage that when the output end fails, the action of the execution end will be affected under the interference of the worm gear mechanism, and the control of the execution end can only be restored by completely solving the output end failure. When the output end failure processing time is long, it will affect the emergency loss of control time of the execution end, and further expand the impact of the failure. INVENTION CONTENTS
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an angular stroke actuator, which can reduce the impact of output end failure on the execution end, and make the actuator have higher safety performance.
[0005] The above technical purpose of the utility model is realized by the following technical scheme: an angular stroke actuator, comprising a shell, an output shaft rotatably installed in the shell, a drive source installed in the shell, a worm gear installed in the shell and rotating with the output shaft, and a worm gear, the worm gear is slidably arranged in the shell and reciprocally moves towards the worm gear side, the shell is provided with a control assembly for controlling the movement of the worm gear, the worm gear and the power shaft of the drive source are provided with a linkage assembly, the linkage assembly has a separation state and a linkage state, the output shaft is connected with an emergency control member for controlling the rotation of the output shaft and the emergency control member is located outside the shell.
[0006] By adopting the above technical scheme, the power shaft of the drive source drives the worm gear to rotate through the linkage assembly, and the rotating worm gear drives the output shaft to rotate in cooperation with the worm gear, so as to realize the execution output of power. When the drive source fails, the worm gear moves away from the worm gear by controlling the control assembly, so that the two are not engaged, and the emergency rotation of the output shaft can be controlled by the emergency control member. This kind of setting structure can reduce the impact of output end failure on the execution end, and make the actuator have higher safety performance.
[0007] Further arrangement is that the worm gear and the power shaft are located on the same side of the worm shaft axis.
[0008] By adopting the above technical scheme, the movement of the worm does not interfere with the structure of the linkage assembly, thereby ensuring the feasibility of the scheme.
[0009] Further arrangement is that the shell is provided with a slide channel extending along the sliding direction of the worm, the slide is slidingly arranged in the slide channel, and the worm is rotationally arranged in the slide.
[0010] By adopting the above technical scheme, the slide channel and the slide are arranged to realize the movement of the worm in the shell.
[0011] Further arrangement is that a limiting structure is formed between the slide and the slide channel, the slide moves towards the side of the worm gear and includes a moving stroke and a limiting position, and when the slide is in the limiting position, the limiting structure limits the movement of the slide along the worm shaft axis and the engagement of the worm and the worm gear.
[0012] By adopting the above technical scheme, the limiting structure limits the axial movement of the worm when the worm and the worm gear are in the engagement state, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the worm in the engagement state and avoiding the tooth collapse or damage between the worm and the worm gear due to shaking. The setting structure can also compensate for the fitting tolerance of the sliding structure.
[0013] Further arrangement is that the limiting structure includes a limiting slope arranged at one end of the slide channel and inclined towards one side along the length direction of the slide channel, and a matching slope formed on the slide and matched with the limiting slope, and the limiting structure is symmetrically arranged along the length direction of the slide channel.
[0014] By adopting the above technical scheme, the matching slope abuts against the limiting slope to limit the movement of the slide along the axis of the worm.
[0015] Further arrangement is that the control assembly includes a control bolt screw-connected with the shell and abutting against the side of the worm gear opposite to the slide, and a return spring driving the slide to move opposite to the worm gear.
[0016] By adopting the above technical scheme, the control bolt cooperates with the return spring to control the reciprocating movement of the slide.
[0017] Further arrangement is that the linkage assembly includes a driving linkage gear arranged on the power shaft and a driven linkage gear arranged on the worm.
[0018] By adopting the above technical scheme, the driving linkage gear and the driven linkage gear cooperate to realize the linkage between the power shaft and the worm and have a separated state and a linked state.
[0019] Further arrangement is that the emergency control member is an emergency groove arranged on the end face of the output shaft, the shell is provided with a cover arranged on the output shaft, and the cover is magnetically fixed to the shell.
[0020] By adopting the technical scheme, the arrangement of the cover can avoid the external pollutants from entering the assembly gap between the output shaft and the shell, and then the emergency rotation control of the output shaft can be realized by inserting the tool into the emergency groove.
[0021] In conclusion, the utility model has the advantages that the utility model can reduce the influence of the output end failure on the execution end, and make the actuator have higher safety performance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
