Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve actuators, and specifically to a quick connection device for valve actuators. Background Technology
[0002] A valve is a fluid control device used to control the flow rate, pressure, direction, and operating status of fluids in a pipeline. An actuator is a mechanism that converts signals and energy into valve motion. Different actuators, such as pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric actuators, can be selected according to different control requirements. A Chinese patent discloses a quick-connect coupling for a switch-type valve and a linear actuator (authorization announcement number CN 205806653 U). This patented technology ensures the concentricity of the actuator push rod and the valve stem during connection and installation, which can compensate to some extent for the misalignment of the two rods caused by machining and installation errors, preventing bending of the weaker rod on one side, ensuring smooth valve opening and closing, and extending the service life of the rods. However, this design uses locking screws for fixation, which can break the threads on the valve stem and actuator push rod during valve opening and closing, causing the locking screws to loosen and leading to disengagement. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a quick-connect device for valve actuators to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a quick connection device for a valve actuator, including an actuator, positioning pins, elastic snap rings, a valve, and a flange. Four positioning pins of the same size are installed on the bottom side wall of the actuator. The positioning pins can be inserted into the flange so that the lower end face of the actuator is in close contact with the upper end face of the flange. The flange is installed on the upper side of the valve. An elastic snap ring is installed at the lower end position where the positioning pins are inserted into the flange.
[0004] Preferably, the outer wall at the bottom end of the positioning pin is provided with a positioning pin groove;
[0005] Preferably, the flange has four mounting holes of the same size, and a positioning pin can be installed in the mounting holes;
[0006] Preferably, when the positioning pin is inserted into the mounting hole, the positioning pin groove is positioned below the lower end face of the flange, and an elastic retaining spring can be inserted into the positioning pin groove.
[0007] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0008] 1. Four positioning pins are installed under the actuator. The positioning pins are installed into the corresponding mounting holes of the flange so that the lower end face of the actuator is close to the upper end face of the flange. At this time, the positioning pin groove is located below the lower end face of the flange. The elastic snap ring is compressed and installed into the positioning pin groove of the positioning pin. The elastic snap ring is released and snapped into the positioning pin groove, automatically fixing and locking the connection between the actuator and the valve.
[0009] 2. Easy to assemble and disassemble, facilitating rapid construction. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Example
[0017] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment, a quick-connect device for a valve actuator is provided, including an actuator 1, a positioning pin 2, an elastic snap ring 3, a valve 4, and a flange 6. Four positioning pins 2 of the same size are installed on the bottom side wall of the actuator 1. The positioning pins 2 can be inserted into the flange 6 so that the lower end face of the actuator 1 is in close contact with the upper end face of the flange 6. The flange 6 is installed on the upper side of the valve 4. An elastic snap ring 3 is installed at the lower end position where the positioning pins 2 are inserted into the flange 6.
[0018] Specifically, a positioning pin groove 5 is provided on the outer wall at the bottom end of the positioning pin 2;
[0019] The flange 6 has four mounting holes 7 of the same size;
[0020] The positioning pin 2 can be installed in the mounting hole 7. When the positioning pin 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 7, the positioning pin groove 5 is positioned below the lower end face of the flange 6.
[0021] The locating pin groove 5 can be fitted with an elastic retaining spring 3.
[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0023] In a valve actuator quick-connect device, four positioning pins 2 are installed on the bottom of the actuator 1. The positioning pins 2 are installed into the corresponding mounting holes 7 of the flange 6, so that the lower end face of the actuator 1 is close to the upper end face of the flange 6. At this time, the positioning pin groove 5 is positioned below the lower end face of the flange 6. The elastic retaining spring 3 is compressed and installed into the positioning pin groove 5 of the positioning pin 2. When the elastic retaining spring 3 is released, it snaps into the positioning pin groove 5, automatically fixing and locking the connection between the actuator 1 and the valve 4. Disassembly is performed in the reverse order. This device is simple to install and disassemble, facilitates quick assembly and disassembly, and is convenient for rapid construction.
