Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of butterfly valve actuator technology, and in particular to a connecting device for butterfly valve actuators. Background Technology
[0002] A butterfly valve is a device that controls the flow of media in a pipeline by rotating a valve plate. It has a simple structure, opens and closes quickly, and has low flow resistance. It is widely used in industrial, municipal, and energy fields. The butterfly valve actuator is the key driving component of the butterfly valve. Its function is to drive the rotation of the butterfly valve plate to achieve the regulation, cut-off, or switching of the flow of media in the pipeline.
[0003] Most butterfly valve actuators are now directly welded to the butterfly valve. When damaged, the entire butterfly valve needs to be replaced, which increases the cost of use. On the other hand, detachable actuator connection structures are inconvenient to disassemble and assemble, often requiring operators to use external tools, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult.
[0004] Therefore, to address the inconvenience of disassembling and replacing existing butterfly valve actuators, a connecting device for butterfly valve actuators can be designed. Through multi-directional limiting, disassembly and assembly can be performed without the need for external tools, reducing operation time and lowering the technical requirements for operators. Operators only need to align the device with the installation position, and the disassembly and assembly steps are simple and convenient, thereby effectively enhancing the practical value of the device.

A circular groove is provided on the inner side of the actuator mounting seat, and a through groove is provided on one side of the actuator mounting seat. A limiting plate is provided above the fixed seat, and a hydraulic rod is provided on the inner side of the actuator mounting seat. A side clamping plate is provided at one end of the hydraulic rod, and pressure plates are provided on both sides of the side clamping plate.
[0007] Preferably, by setting a fixed valve stem in the butterfly valve body, rotating the valve stem drives the butterfly valve disc to rotate, thereby flexibly adjusting the fluid flow inside the butterfly valve body. A convex plate defines the installation position of the sleeve, embedding the sleeve into the convex plate and one end of the valve stem, achieving the effect of rotating the sleeve to drive the valve stem to rotate synchronously. A through groove clarifies the installation position of the limiting plate, allowing the limiting plate to pass through the actuator mounting seat. Rotating the limiting plate within the circular groove initially connects and fixes the fixed seat and actuator mounting seat. The distance between the two sets of side clamps is adjusted by a telescopic hydraulic rod, causing the side clamps to press against the outer sides of the fixed seat and actuator mounting seat. A pressure plate then fixes both ends of the fixed seat and actuator mounting seat inside, thus encasing and protecting them. This achieves disassembly and assembly without the need for external tools, requiring low technical skills from operators. Operators only need to align the installation position, making the disassembly and assembly process simple and convenient, enhancing the practical value of the device.

The inner side of the side clamp is provided with a pin, and two sets of pins are symmetrically provided. The pins are engaged with the slots.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] When installing the actuator, place the actuator mounting seat above the fixed seat, so that the sleeve is embedded in the protruding plate and one end of the valve stem. The installation position of the limiting plate is clearly defined through the through groove. The limiting plate passes through the actuator mounting seat. Rotate the limiting plate within the circular groove to initially connect and fix the fixed seat and actuator mounting seat. Adjust the distance between the two sets of side clamps using the telescopic hydraulic rod. Press the outside of the fixed seat and actuator mounting seat with the side clamps.

This solves the problem that most butterfly valve actuators require complete replacement when damaged, increasing operating costs. Furthermore, detachable actuator connection structures are inconvenient and time-consuming to disassemble and assemble, thus enhancing the practical value of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, a rotating shaft 801 is provided at one end of the housing 8.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4In this embodiment, a telescopic rod 1101 is provided on the upper surface of the fixed base 5, and a spring 1102 is provided on the outer side of the telescopic rod 1101. A limiting plate 11 is provided at one end of the telescopic rod 1101, and the limiting plate 11 and the telescopic rod 1101 are rotatably connected.

A connecting shaft 1103 is provided on the upper surface of the limiting plate 11, and a rotating plate 1104 is provided at one end of the connecting shaft 1103. The rotating plate 1104 is fitted into the through groove 10. The limiting plate 11 is supported by the elastic limit of the spring 1102. Pressing the rotating plate 1104 causes the telescopic rod 1101 to retract, causing the limiting plate 11 to press down on the spring 1102. 102. Move the limiting plate 11 into the circular groove 9. Connect the fixed rotating plate 1104 with the connecting shaft 1103. Rotate the rotating plate 1104 to drive the limiting plate 11 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the limiting plate 11 to rotate in the circular groove 9, so that the limiting plate 11 can flexibly connect the fixed seat 5 and the actuator mounting seat 6. The actuator mounting seat 6 is provided with a control button 1201 on the outside. The control button 1201 is electrically connected to the hydraulic rod 12. By pressing the control button 1201, a running command is sent to the hydraulic rod 12. The extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod 12 drives the adjustment of the distance between the two sets of side clamps 13, thereby flexibly driving the side clamps 13 to press the fixed seat 5 and the outside of the actuator mounting seat 6.
[0026] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, a slot 1301 is provided on the outer side of the fixed base 5. The slots 1301 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the fixed base 5, and two sets of slots 1301 are symmetrically provided on each side. A locking post 1302 is provided on the inner side of the side clamping plate 13. Two sets of locking posts 1302 are symmetrically provided. The locking posts 1302 are fitted and connected with the slots 1301. When the side clamping plate 13 presses the fixed base 5 and the actuator mounting base 6, the locking posts 1302 are embedded in the slots 1301, further connecting the fixed base 5 and the actuator mounting base 6, thus preventing axial displacement of the fixed base 5 and the actuator mounting base 6.
[0027] When connecting and installing the actuator, place the actuator mounting base 6 on the fixed base 5. Before that, rotate the rotating plate 1104 to drive the limiting plate 11 to rotate synchronously, so that the limiting plate 11, the rotating plate 1104 and the through groove 10 correspond in position.
[0028] When the actuator mounting base 6 and the fixed base 5 are combined, the limiting plate 11 and the rotating plate 1104 pass through the through groove 10, and at the same time, one end of the valve stem 2 and the protruding plate 4 are embedded into the sleeve 8.
[0029] Subsequently, pressing the rotating plate 1104 on the connecting shaft 1103 causes the limiting plate 11 to move down. The limiting plate 11 presses down on the spring 1102, causing the telescopic rod 1101 to retract and move the limiting plate 11 into the circular groove 9. Rotating the rotating plate 1104 drives the limiting plate 11 to rotate, causing the limiting plate 11 to rotate in the circular groove 9, and pressing the actuator mounting base 6 through the limiting plate 11.
[0030] Then, press the control button 1201 to send a retraction command to the hydraulic rod 12. The hydraulic rod 12 retracts to bring the side clamping plate 13 closer together, so that the side clamping plate 13 clamps the actuator mounting seat 6 and the fixed seat 5 on the outside. At the same time, the clamping post 1302 is inserted into the clamping groove 1301, and the pressure plate 14 presses the actuator mounting seat 6 and the fixed seat 5 together.
[0031] When using the butterfly valve, press switch 803 to control the servo motor 802 to run. The servo motor 802 on the protective housing 7 drives the rotating shaft 801 to rotate. Rotating the rotating shaft 801 drives the housing 8 to rotate. Rotating the housing 8 drives the valve stem 2 to rotate. Rotating the valve stem 2 drives the butterfly valve disc 3 to rotate synchronously. Rotating the butterfly valve disc 3 adjusts the fluid flow rate inside the butterfly valve body 1.
[0032] When disassembling the actuator, press the control button 1201 to send an extension command to the hydraulic rod 12. The hydraulic rod 12 extends to increase the distance between the side clamps 13. Then, rotate the rotating plate 1104 to move the limiting plate 11 to the position corresponding to the through groove 10. At this time, the spring 1102 extends to support the limiting plate 11 through the actuator mounting base 6. Finally, remove the actuator mounting base 6 from the fixed base 5.
[0033] Through the above steps, by setting the valve stem 2 to be fixed in the butterfly valve body 1, rotating the valve stem 2 drives the butterfly valve disc 3 to rotate, thereby flexibly adjusting the fluid flow inside the butterfly valve body 1. The installation position of the sleeve 8 is defined by the convex plate 4, and the sleeve 8 is embedded into the convex plate 4 and one end of the valve stem 2, thereby achieving the effect of rotating the sleeve 8 to drive the valve stem 2 to rotate synchronously. The installation position of the limiting plate 11 is defined by the through groove 10, so that the limiting plate 11 passes through the actuator mounting seat 6. The limiting plate 11 is rotated in the circular groove 9, so that the limiting plate 11 initially connects and fixes the fixed seat 5 and the actuator mounting seat 6. The distance between the two sets of side clamps 13 is adjusted by the telescopic hydraulic rod 12, so that the side clamps 13 press the outside of the fixed seat 5 and the actuator mounting seat 6. The pressure plate 14 is used to fix the two ends of the fixed seat 5 and the actuator mounting seat 6 inside, thereby wrapping and protecting the fixed seat 5 and the actuator mounting seat 6 inside. Therefore, there is no need to use external tools for disassembly and assembly, the technical requirements for operators are low, and operators only need to align the installation position. The disassembly and assembly operation steps are simple and convenient.
[0034] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
