Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air valve technology, and more specifically, to a novel air valve control device. Background Technology

[0002] Air valves are devices used for ventilation and air conditioning in offshore production facilities in the oil and gas industry. They serve functions such as fire prevention, sealing, pressure release, and flue gas control. Air valves achieve their functions by opening and closing their blades.

[0003] In practical use, air valves are divided into two types: manual control and automatic control. Manual control relies on manual operation, while automatic control relies on complex control devices. Conventional air valve control devices are directly installed on the air valve body, forming the same device as the air valve. After installation, the air valve is opened and closed according to a set angle, but it is not possible to achieve both manual and automatic control at the same time. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a novel air valve control device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A novel air valve control device, comprising an air valve body and a controller base plate, wherein the controller base plate is fixedly connected to the air valve body by bolts, an actuator bracket is fixedly mounted on the controller base plate, an actuator is fixedly connected to the side of the actuator bracket away from the air valve body, a mounting bracket is provided on the side of the actuator away from the actuator bracket, and the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the actuator bracket by bolts, a limit device is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting bracket away from the actuator bracket, and the limit device is connected to the rotating shaft of the actuator, a manual handle is provided on the inner side of the mounting bracket, and the manual handle is connected to the rotating shaft of the actuator, a quick-plug device is installed on the manual handle, and a junction box fixedly connected to the controller base plate is provided below the actuator bracket.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the controller base plate has symmetrically distributed positioning grooves on both sides, and the positioning grooves are adapted to the actuator bracket.
