[0035] Specifically, the buffer component includes a throttle valve 203 arranged on the upper hydraulic valve block 204 and a limiting block 202 arranged on the upper hydraulic rod 211. The throttle valve 203 is used to adjust the flow rate of the oil entering the hydraulic cylinder 205, thereby controlling the movement speed of the hydraulic rod, making the opening and closing actions of the valve 500 more stable and reducing vibration. The limiting block 202 is used to limit the stroke of the hydraulic rod, ensuring that the valve 500 can be accurately opened to the maximum position or closed to the minimum position, avoiding excessive movement. The steel pipe 206 is made of stainless steel and is used to connect the oil passage between the upper hydraulic valve block 204 and the lower hydraulic valve block 208. The upper oil passage main channel 2042 and the lower oil passage main channel 2081 are connected to the steel pipe 206 through the adapter 209. The pressure measuring connector 211 is arranged on the side of the upper hydraulic valve block 204 and the lower hydraulic valve block 208, used to connect the pressure measuring device to monitor the pressure of the hydraulic system. The hydraulic plug 212 is used to close the unnecessary oil passage interface.

The parts of the hydraulic cylinder component can be individually changed in size to adapt to various specifications of valves in a specific flow range, ensuring the universality of the remaining components, improving the overall adaptability and practicality, facilitating device integration and maintenance and upgrading, reducing cost and inventory pressure, and enhancing market competitiveness.

[0036] Specifically, the assembly process of the hydraulic actuator includes: first, the upper hydraulic rod 201 and the lower hydraulic rod 214 are fixed on the upper and lower sides of the piston 215 respectively through threaded connection (as shown in Figure 4c Secondly, for the upper hydraulic valve block 204, the corresponding adapter 209, pressure measuring connector 211, throttle valve 203 and corresponding hydraulic plug 212 are threaded connected, and sealing rings are installed at the corresponding positions. Thirdly, for the lower hydraulic valve block 208, the corresponding adapter 209, pressure measuring connector 211, LPU conversion connecting plate 213, throttle valve 203 and corresponding hydraulic plug 212 are threaded connected, and sealing rings are installed at the corresponding positions. Finally, the upper hydraulic valve block 204, the hydraulic cylinder 205, the piston 215 with the hydraulic rod, the lower hydraulic valve block 208, the valve connecting plate 210 and the steel pipe 206 are connected through the bolts 207, completing the assembly process of the hydraulic actuator.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, when the motor output shaft in the LPU assembly 100 drives the output shaft of the gear pump to rotate, the hydraulic oil in the oil tank 103 is transported to the A hydraulic oil port 1021 through the internal oil circuit. Then, the oil enters the hydraulic lower valve block 208 through the LPU conversion connecting plate 213, and flows into the lower hydraulic cavity on the lower side of the piston 215 along the internal lower oil circuit main channel two of the hydraulic lower valve block 208, thereby lifting the piston 215. As the piston 215 moves upward, the oil in the upper hydraulic cavity enters the upper oil circuit main channel 2042 of the hydraulic upper valve block 204, and finally returns to the LPU assembly 100 through the B hydraulic oil port 1022 via the adapter of the hydraulic upper valve block 204, the steel pipe 206, the lower oil circuit main channel one 2081 and the LPU conversion connecting plate 213. In this process, the throttle valve 203 in the hydraulic upper valve block 204 acts as a constant throttle type buffer device, which plays a constant throttle buffering role to prevent the piston 215 from impacting the hydraulic upper valve block 204 with great force and causing noise and mechanical structure to move. The two throttle valves in the hydraulic lower valve block 208 play a throttling role, and the throttle valves at this position can be replaced by plugs due to smaller hydraulic impact in the LPU part.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, with continued reference to Figure 2 and FIG. 5, Figures 5a-5b respectively show the perspective view and top view of the valve position indicator of the utility model, as shown in the figure, the VPI valve position indicator 300 is mechanical, which includes an angular stroke swing piece one 301, an angular stroke swing piece two 302 and a stroke guide piece 303 fixed to the valve, the angular stroke swing piece two 302 is connected with the stroke guide piece 303 through a waist-shaped hole and a thread, and is used for converting the linear movement information of the stroke guide piece 303 into angular information. The angular stroke swing piece one 301 and the angular stroke swing piece two 302 are associated with the movement of the hydraulic actuator 200, convert the linear movement of the valve 500 into angular stroke swing and feed back the position signal, and the stroke guide piece 303, the fixed support one 304 and the fixed support two 305 ensure the stability of the VPI valve position indicator 300.

[0039] Specifically, the VPI valve position indicator 300 is mainly used to control the start and stop of the LPU assembly 100. The reciprocating motion of the straight stroke component drives the angular stroke swing component to rotate, and when it swings to the end point, it triggers the switch of the VPI valve position indicator, thereby releasing an electrical signal. After the LPU receives this signal, it performs oil supply opening or stopping operation according to the preset instructions, thereby realizing the control of the opening and closing action of the valve. Among them, the stroke guide 303 is rigidly fixed on the valve through threaded connection, so as to obtain the position information of the valve block of the valve in real time and convert it into a linear displacement signal. The stroke swing component two 302 is assembled with the stroke guide 303 in a combination of a waist-shaped hole and a threaded connection, which can convert the linear movement information of the stroke guide 302 into angular change information through a specific mechanical structure, thereby realizing the conversion of the signal form. Subsequently, the angular stroke swing component one 301 further accurately feeds back the angle information to the indicator through a precise mechanical structure. The indicator releases an electrical signal in time after receiving the feedback information according to the built-in contact switch mechanism, and the electrical signal is stably transmitted through the bellows to ensure the reliability and accuracy of signal transmission. In this process, the fixed support one 304 and the fixed support two 305 play a crucial role. They provide a stable support structure to ensure that the VPI valve position indicator 300 maintains a stable installation state during operation, avoiding the influence of external vibration or impact on the accuracy of signal acquisition and transmission, thereby ensuring the accurate realization of the valve position indication and control function.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, with continued reference to Figure 6 , Figure 6 The hydraulic principle diagram of the straight stroke electro-hydraulic execution device of the utility model is shown, as Figure 6 shown, when the valve is in an open state, the LPU assembly 100 provides power for the hydraulic actuator 200. The LPU assembly 100 contains key components such as a hydraulic pump and a motor inside, is provided with two emergency joints 104, and is connected with the internal oil circuit of the hydraulic lower valve block 208 of the hydraulic actuator 200 through the A hydraulic oil port 1021 and the B hydraulic oil port 1022, to realize the transmission of hydraulic oil. The hydraulic actuator 200 controls the opening and closing of the valve by relying on the received hydraulic power. The VPI valve position indicator 300 is used to indicate the position state of the valve.

[0041] Specifically, when receiving the signal of closing the valve, hydraulic oil flows out from the LPU assembly, enters through the first oil path of the hydraulic lower valve block, and sequentially passes through the lower oil path main channel one, the adapter of the hydraulic lower valve block, the steel pipe and the upper oil path main channel, enters the inside of the upper hydraulic cavity of the hydraulic cylinder, and drives the hydraulic piston to move linearly downward. In this process, the hydraulic oil at the lower end of the piston flows out of the actuator along the second oil path of the hydraulic lower valve block, i.e. the lower oil path main channel two, and finally returns to the LPU assembly. When receiving the signal of opening the valve, hydraulic oil flows out from the LPU assembly, flows into the hydraulic cylinder through the second oil path of the hydraulic lower valve block, i.e. the lower oil path main channel two, and drives the hydraulic piston to move linearly upward. At this time, the hydraulic oil at the upper end of the piston flows out of the actuator along the first oil path, and then returns to the LPU, so as to complete the hydraulic driving action of opening and closing the valve, ensure that the valve accurately responds to the control signal, and realize the stable switching of the opening and closing function of the valve.
