[0002] Valves are pipeline accessories used to open and close pipelines, control flow direction, and regulate and control the parameters (temperature, pressure, and flow rate) of the conveyed medium. Based on their function, they can be classified as shut-off valves, check valves, regulating valves, etc. Direct-connected valves, sometimes also called direct-mount valves or compact valves, refer to a class of valves designed for direct connection to actuators (such as electric or pneumatic actuators) without the need for additional supports or connections.
[0003] Existing direct-drive valve electric actuators mainly use electromagnets to control the manual / electric switching. When the power is off, if the valve is in electric operation mode, it is difficult to manually switch to manual operation mode, which is inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0014] Furthermore, a first bevel tooth is rotatably connected inside the gear cavity. The first bevel tooth is located at the bottom of the clutch disc, and a first clutch groove is formed at the top of the first bevel tooth.
[0015] By adopting the above scheme, a first clutch groove is provided at the top of the first bevel tooth, which facilitates the engagement of the clutch tooth with the first clutch groove when the clutch disc slides downward, thereby controlling the rotation of the clutch disc by the rotation of the first bevel tooth.
[0016] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly installed on one side of the gear cavity, and a second bevel tooth is fixedly installed on the output end of the motor, the second bevel tooth meshing with the first bevel tooth.
[0017] By adopting the above scheme, the second bevel tooth meshes with the first bevel tooth, which facilitates the operation of the motor so that the second bevel tooth drives the first bevel tooth to rotate.
[0018] Furthermore, a valve core is fixedly installed at the bottom of the valve stem, and a valve body is sleeved on the outside of the valve core, with the valve core and valve body rotatably connected.
[0019] By adopting the above scheme, the valve core is rotatably connected to the valve body, which facilitates the rotation of the valve stem to drive the valve core to rotate, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the valve assembly.

The clutch assembly facilitates switching between manual and electric operation of the actuator components. A synchronizing block is fixedly installed on the top of the valve stem, allowing the rotation of the synchronizing block to drive the valve stem rotation, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the valve assembly. A slidable connection between the synchronizing teeth and the synchronizing groove allows the rotation of the clutch disc to drive the valve stem rotation, and the clutch disc can slide up and down along the synchronizing groove, facilitating manual / electric switching. A clutch frame is rotatably connected to the outside of the clutch disc, allowing the clutch frame to move up and down, driving the clutch disc to slide up and down without obstructing the clutch disc's rotation. Magnetic blocks are fixedly installed at the bottom of both ends of the clutch frame, allowing the electromagnet to attract the magnetic blocks, thus controlling the downward sliding of the clutch disc. A return spring is fixedly installed between the magnetic blocks and the electromagnet, allowing the return spring to provide elasticity when the electromagnet is de-energized, causing the clutch frame to drive the clutch disc upward, thus switching the device to manual operation.
