Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve technology, specifically to a pneumatic valve actuator. Background Technology
[0002] The main function of a pneumatic valve feedback switch is to monitor the actual position or status of the valve and feed the signal back to the control system to achieve closed-loop control and safety monitoring in the automated process. It can detect the opening and closing status of the valve in real time, ensure that the operator can grasp the actual status of the valve, and avoid the valve from failing to execute the command due to signal delay or failure, which could cause process interruption or safety accidents.
[0003] In the existing technology, pneumatic valves are divided into rotary and linear actuators. For rotary pneumatic valves, when switching feedback is required, due to structural limitations, only two-point feedback switches can be installed. However, two-point feedback switches have poor accuracy and a high failure rate. Although integrated feedback switches have higher accuracy and a lower failure rate than two-point feedback switches, they cannot currently be installed on rotary pneumatic valves.

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] like Figures 1-3As shown, this utility model discloses a pneumatic valve actuator, including an actuator 4, a positioner 2 is provided above the actuator 4, an integrated feedback switch 3 is provided on the side of the positioner 2, and a converter is provided between the positioner 2, the integrated feedback switch 3 and the actuator 4, the converter enables the positioner 2, the integrated feedback switch 3 and the actuator 4 to be connected by transmission.
[0031] The converter includes a housing 1, which is rectangular in shape and horizontally arranged. Connecting components are provided between the bottom of the housing 1 and the actuator 4, between the top of the housing 1 and the positioner 2, and between the top of the housing 1 and the integrated feedback switch 3. The connecting components allow for the connection between the housing 1 and the actuator 4, the positioner 2, and the integrated feedback switch 3 while maintaining a gap.
[0032] The connecting assembly includes two first connecting plates 6 and two second connecting plates 5. The two first connecting plates 6 are provided with screw holes, and the two second connecting plates 5 are provided with corresponding slotted holes that mate with the screw holes. The two first connecting plates 6 are parallel to each other and vertically arranged and connected to the housing 1. The two second connecting plates 5 are located outside the two first connecting plates 6 and are also parallel to the two first connecting plates 6. The two second connecting plates 5 are provided on the corresponding actuators 4, positioners 2 and integrated feedback switches 3. The slotted holes of the two second connecting plates 5 are bolted to the screw holes of the two first connecting plates 6 respectively.
[0033] A first transmission wheel 10 and a second transmission wheel 11 are rotatably mounted inside the housing 1. The rotation axes of both the first transmission wheel 10 and the second transmission wheel 11 are vertically arranged. The first transmission wheel 10 is located within the housing 1 between the actuator 4 and the positioner 2, while the second transmission wheel 11 is located within the housing 1 below the integrated feedback switch 3. A synchronous belt 12 is fitted onto both the first transmission wheel 10 and the second transmission wheel 11, causing them to rotate synchronously. The first transmission wheel 10 and the second transmission wheel 11 have the same outer diameter. When the first transmission wheel 10 and the second transmission wheel 11 rotate synchronously via the synchronous belt 12, their linear velocity and angular velocity are the same.
[0034] The top of the housing 1 is rotatably connected to a first transmission rod 13 coaxially connected to the first transmission wheel 10 and a second transmission rod 15 coaxially connected to the second transmission wheel 11. The bottom of the housing 1 is also rotatably connected to a third transmission rod 8 coaxially connected to the first transmission wheel 10.

[0037] The integrated feedback switch 3 has a rotating rod 16 at the bottom. The rotating rod 16 is inserted into the second transmission rod 15 to achieve a transmission connection. The bottom end of the rotating rod 16 is provided with a strip-shaped locking strip. The top end of the second transmission rod 15 is provided with a strip-shaped locking groove that cooperates with the locking strip. The locking strip is inserted into the locking groove to achieve a transmission connection between the rotating rod 16 and the second transmission rod 15.
[0038] The positioner 2 rotates, causing the drive rod 14 to rotate. The drive rod 14 drives the first transmission rod 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the first transmission wheel 10 to rotate. The synchronous belt 12 causes the second transmission wheel 11 to rotate synchronously. Subsequently, the second transmission rod 15 on the second transmission wheel 11 drives the rotating rod 16 to rotate synchronously. The first transmission wheel 10 also drives the third transmission rod 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the follower rod 7 to rotate, thus operating the actuator 4. Through a converter, the rotation angle of the positioner 2 is fed back to the rotating rod 16 of the integrated feedback switch 3, enabling monitoring of the valve's opening and closing status.
[0039] This utility model has a simple structure and low cost. The integrated feedback switch 3 can be installed on the angular stroke pneumatic valve to improve the accuracy of the angular stroke pneumatic valve opening and closing monitoring. Compared with the traditional two-point feedback switch, the integrated feedback switch 3 has a low failure rate.
[0040] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions of this utility model. Any technical solution that can be implemented based on the above embodiments without creative effort should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
