[0031] Example:
[0032] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:
[0033] This utility model provides an interlockable manual / electric switching mechanism for an electric valve actuator, including a valve assembly 102. A switching component 101 is located on the top of the valve assembly 102, facilitating electric or manual control of the opening and closing of the valve assembly 102. The valve assembly 102 includes a valve stem 10204, with a worm gear 10205 fixedly mounted on its top. The rotation of the worm gear 10205 controls the rotation of the valve stem 10204, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the valve assembly 102. The switching component 101 includes a gear box 10101, with the worm gear 10205 disposed inside. A worm 10102 is rotatably connected inside the gear box 10101, meshing with the worm gear 10205. The worm gear 10102 is meshed with the worm wheel 10205 so that its rotation drives the worm wheel 10205. A sliding hole 10103 is provided inside the worm gear 10102, and a switching shaft 10104 is inserted inside the sliding hole 10103. A sliding groove 10105 is provided on the outer side of the middle part of the switching shaft 10104. The sliding groove 10105 is slidably connected to the sliding hole 10103. This slidable connection facilitates the sliding of the switching shaft 10104. The switch has a limit switch and can cause the rotation of the switching shaft 10104 to drive the worm gear 10102 to rotate. A switching button 10109 is fixedly installed at one end of the switching shaft 10104. The switching button 10109 is located on the outside of the gear box 10101. By setting the switching button 10109 on the outside of the gear box 10101, it is convenient for the user to control the sliding of the switching shaft 10104 by pressing and pulling out the switching button 10109, thereby realizing the switching between manual and electric operation modes.
[0034] Among them, a timing sleeve 10106 is fixedly installed at one end of the sliding groove 10105 away from the switching button 10109, and a timing tooth 10108 is fixedly installed at the other end of the sliding groove 10105. The timing sleeve 10106 and the timing tooth 10108 facilitate the switching of the switching shaft 10104 to achieve the switching between manual operation and electric operation.
[0035] The gearbox 10101 has a motor 10107 fixedly installed at one end away from the switch knob 10109, and a manual handwheel 10110 is rotatably connected to the other end of the gearbox 10101.

[0036] The output end of the motor 10107 is fixedly equipped with a synchronizing head, which is located inside the synchronizing sleeve 10106. The synchronizing head is located inside the synchronizing sleeve 10106, which facilitates pressing the switching button 10109 to slide the switching shaft 10104 toward the motor 10107. The synchronizing sleeve 10106 is sleeved on the outside of the synchronizing head, and the synchronizing gear 10108 is disengaged from the synchronizing groove 10111, thereby facilitating the operation control of the motor 10107 to drive the worm gear 10102 to rotate, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the electric control valve assembly 102.
[0037] The manual handwheel 10110 is sleeved on the outside of the switching shaft 10104, and the manual handwheel 10110 has a synchronization groove 10111 on the side facing the synchronization gear 10108. The synchronization groove 10111 makes it easy to pull the switching knob 10109 to slide the switching shaft 10104 toward the manual handwheel 10110, so that the synchronization sleeve 10106 is disengaged from the synchronization head, and the synchronization gear 10108 is engaged in the synchronization groove 10111. This facilitates the rotation of the manual handwheel 10110 to drive the worm gear 10102 to rotate, thereby realizing the manual control of the opening and closing of the valve assembly 102.
[0038] The outer side of one end of the switching shaft 10104 is coated with a marking pattern. The marking pattern is set between the switching button 10109 and the synchronous gear 10108. The marking pattern makes it easy to observe the position of the switching shaft 10104 from the outside of the gear box 10101, which helps to ensure the completion of the operation mode switching.
[0039] Among them, the valve core 10203 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the valve stem 10204, and the valve body 10201 is sleeved on the outside of the valve core 10203. The connecting flanges 10202 are fixedly installed at both ends of the valve body 10201. The setting of the connecting flanges 10202 facilitates the connection between the device and the external pipeline, and makes it convenient for the device to control the on / off of the external pipeline.
[0040] The valve body 10201 is fixedly connected to the gear box 10101, and the valve body 10201 is rotatably connected to the valve core 10203. The fixed connection between the valve body 10201 and the gear box 10101, and the rotatable connection between the valve body 10201 and the valve core 10203, facilitates the switching component 101 to control the rotation of the valve core 10203, thereby realizing the control of the opening and closing of the device.
[0041] Specifically, the connection flange 10202 facilitates connection between the device and external pipelines, enabling the device to control the on / off state of the external pipelines. The valve body 10201 is fixedly connected to the gearbox 10101, and the valve body 10201 is rotatably connected to the valve core 10203, allowing the switching assembly 101 to control the rotation of the valve core 10203, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the device. The markings facilitate observation of the position of the switching shaft 10104 from outside the gearbox 10101, ensuring successful operation mode switching. A worm gear 10205 is fixedly mounted on the top of the valve stem 10204, facilitating the movement of the worm gear 10205. The rotation of valve stem 10204 controls the opening and closing of valve assembly 102 by rotating worm gear 10102. Worm gear 10102 meshes with worm wheel 10205, allowing the rotation of worm gear 10102 to drive the rotation of worm wheel 10205. A sliding groove 10105 slidably connects with sliding hole 10103, facilitating the limiting of the sliding of switching shaft 10104 and allowing the rotation of switching shaft 10104 to drive the rotation of worm gear 10102. A switching button 10109 is located on the outside of gear box 10101, allowing the user to control the sliding of switching shaft 10104 by pressing and pulling the switching button 10109. The switching between manual and electric operation is achieved through the synchronous sleeve 10106 and synchronous gear 10108, which facilitates the sliding of the switching shaft 10104 to switch between manual and electric operation. The motor 10107 and manual handwheel 10110 facilitate the electric control of the valve assembly 102 by the motor 10107, while the manual handwheel 10110 allows the user to manually control the valve assembly 102. The synchronous head, located inside the synchronous sleeve 10106, allows the switching knob 10109 to be pressed, causing the switching shaft 10104 to slide towards the motor 10107, thus synchronizing the operation. The sleeve 10106 is fitted on the outside of the synchronizing head, and the synchronizing gear 10108 is disengaged from the synchronizing groove 10111, thereby facilitating the operation of the motor 10107 to drive the worm gear 10102 to rotate, realizing the opening and closing of the electrically controlled valve assembly 102. The synchronizing groove 10111 facilitates the pulling of the switching knob 10109 to slide the switching shaft 10104 toward the manual handwheel 10110, causing the synchronizing sleeve 10106 to disengage from the synchronizing head, and the synchronizing gear 10108 to engage with the synchronizing groove 10111, facilitating the rotation of the manual handwheel 10110 to drive the worm gear 10102 to rotate, thus realizing the opening and closing of the manually controlled valve assembly 102.
