[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," and "lower" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.
[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a pressure relief pneumatic actuator, comprising an actuator body 1 and a pressure detection component 2, wherein the actuator body 1 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet 11, and the pressure detection component 2 is used to detect the pressure change inside the actuator body 1.
[0028] The actuator body 1 is provided with a pressure relief port 12. The actuator body 1 is provided with a pressure relief pipe 3, a control component 4 and a sealing piston 5. The side wall of the pressure relief pipe 3 is provided with a venting groove 31 that communicates with the inner cavity of the actuator body 1. The venting groove 31 extends along the length of the pressure relief pipe 3.
[0029] One end of the pressure relief pipe 3 is connected to the pressure relief port 12. The sealing piston 5 is connected to the control component 4 and is slidably connected in the pressure relief pipe 3 and the venting groove 31 to block the connection between the venting groove 31 and the pressure relief port 12.
[0030] The design of this utility model uses the control component 4 to drive the sealing piston 5 to move away from the pressure relief port 12, thereby making part of the venting groove 31 connected with the pressure relief port 12. When the two are connected, the gas in the actuator body 1 will be depressurized through the pressure relief port 12. As the sealing piston 5 gradually moves away from the pressure relief port 12, the connection area between the two will further increase, and the pressure relief effect will be enhanced. Conversely, as the sealing piston 5 moves closer to the pressure relief port 12, the connection area between the two will decrease, and the pressure relief effect will weaken. The position of the sealing piston 5 can be adjusted to meet various pressure relief needs.
[0031] The present invention is further configured such that: the sealing piston 5 includes a piston body 51 and a piston block 52, the piston body 51 is circular in shape, the piston body 51 is slidably connected to the pressure relief pipe 3, and is connected to the control component 4.
[0032] The piston block 52 is connected to one side of the piston body 51 and is slidably connected to the vent groove 31.
[0033] The design of this structure can isolate the gas flow between the actuator body 1 and the pressure relief port 12 by blocking the piston 5. In addition, during the movement, it can adjust the area of the venting groove 31 and guide the blocking piston 5.
[0034] The present invention is further configured such that: a sealing plate 53 is provided on one end of the piston block 52 facing the pressure relief port 12, and a plug hole 32 is provided on the pressure relief pipe 3 for inserting the sealing plate 53.
[0035] The width of the sealing plate 53 is smaller than the width of the venting groove 31.
[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the design of the sealing plate 53 allows the sealing piston 5 to be considered in two states during its movement. State 1: The sealing plate 53 and the pipe body gradually misalign, and the gas will flow out through the gap between the sealing plate 53 and the pressure relief pipe 3. At this time, when the sealing piston 5 moves a unit distance, the venting groove 31 and the pressure relief port 12 are connected, and the area of the increased area is relatively small.
[0037] State 2: The blocking piston 5 continues to move away. At this time, the blocking plate 53 is completely misaligned with the pipe body. When the blocking piston 5 moves a unit distance, the venting groove 31 and the pressure relief port 12 are connected, and the area is greatly increased.
[0038] The air pressure detection component 2 can be implemented in various ways, including using the detection method mentioned in the company's prior application or other existing technologies.
[0039] The present invention is further configured such that: the control component 4 includes a control motor 41, a transmission gear set 42, a transmission screw 43 and a transmission cylinder 44, wherein the control motor 41 is linked with the transmission screw 43 through the transmission gear set 42;
[0040] The transmission cylinder 44 is slidably connected to the transmission screw 43.
[0041] The design of this structure allows the transmission screw 43 to rotate via the transmission gear set 42 when the control motor 41 is started, thereby driving the transmission cylinder 44 to move.
[0042] Example 1 of transmission cylinder 44: A threaded groove is provided through the transmission cylinder 44, and connecting arms are provided on both sides of the transmission cylinder 44. The connecting arms are used to connect with the sealing piston 5.
[0043] Transmission cylinder 44, Example 2: Figure 4 As shown, the first end of the transmission cylinder 44 is provided with a connecting groove that mates with the transmission screw 43, and the second end of the transmission cylinder 44 is connected to the sealing piston 5.
[0044] The transmission gear set 42 includes a first gear and a second gear that mesh with each other. The first gear is connected to the control motor 41, and the second gear is connected to the transmission screw 43.
[0045] This utility model is further configured such that: the pressure relief pipe 3 includes a first pipe body and a second pipe body, the first pipe body and the second pipe body are welded together, the inner diameter of the second pipe body is larger than the outer diameter of the first pipe body, and an abutment edge is provided inside the second pipe body to abut against the first pipe body. This structural design facilitates the processing of the vent groove 31 and the insertion hole 32.
