Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of valve positioners and relates to an installation structure for a valve positioner. Background Technology
[0002] Valve positioners are an important component of modern valves. They use closed-loop control to correct the valve position in real time, reducing the adverse effects of external interference such as changes in medium pressure and mechanical wear on the valve opening and ensuring that the valve operates accurately at the expected position.
[0003] Currently, valve positioners are mainly installed on valves using screws. However, screw installation makes it inconvenient to maintain the valve positioner after installation, and it also requires drilling screw holes at specific locations on the valve, affecting the ease of assembly. Therefore, we have designed an installation structure for valve positioners. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation structure for a valve positioner, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, where the valve positioner is mainly installed with screws. When using screws, the valve positioner is inconvenient to maintain after installation, and screw holes need to be made at specific positions on the valve, which affects the convenience of valve positioner assembly.
[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A valve positioner mounting structure includes a valve positioner body. Two fixing posts are fixedly mounted at the bottom of the valve positioner body. Mounting plates are rotatably connected to the middle of each of the two fixing posts. U-shaped positioning blocks are engaged with the ends of the two mounting plates. A first semi-circular threaded groove is formed at the alignment position of the U-shaped positioning block and the mounting plate. A second semi-circular threaded groove, matching the first semi-circular threaded groove, is formed at the end of the mounting plate. The first and second semi-circular threaded grooves are fixedly connected to the connecting studs on the valve surface. This design allows for adjustment of the rotation angle of the mounting plate according to installation requirements via the rotatable mounting plate at the bottom of the valve positioner body. The engagement of the mounting plate with the U-shaped positioning blocks at the ends enables quick and easy engagement with the valve's mounting studs, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the valve positioner body and the valve.
[0006] In the aforementioned valve positioner installation structure, the inner wall of the U-shaped positioning block has locking holes on both sides, and the mounting plate has retractable T-shaped posts on both sides. The two T-shaped posts engage with the corresponding locking holes. This arrangement facilitates the fixing of the mounting plate to the U-shaped positioning block by engaging the T-shaped posts with the locking holes.
[0007] In the aforementioned installation structure of a valve positioner, the mounting plate has an internal mounting groove, and two T-shaped posts are inserted into the sides of the mounting groove. A return spring is fixedly installed between the two T-shaped posts. This arrangement is intended to control the extension and retraction of the T-shaped posts via the return spring.
[0008] In the aforementioned installation structure of a valve positioner, the top of the mounting groove has a through groove communicating with the outside. Push blocks are inserted into the interior of both through grooves, and the two push blocks are fixedly connected to the top of the corresponding T-shaped column. This arrangement is intended to allow the push blocks to push the T-shaped column to retract.
[0009] In the aforementioned installation structure of a valve positioner, convex limiting grooves are provided on both sides of the mounting plate. Convex limiting sliders are slidably connected inside each of the two convex limiting grooves, and the front sides of the two convex limiting sliders are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped positioning block. The purpose of this arrangement is to limit the direction of movement through the cooperation of the convex limiting grooves and the convex limiting sliders.
[0010] In the aforementioned valve positioner mounting structure, both of the bottom of the fixed columns are threaded with lock nuts, and metal washers are nested at the threaded connections between the two lock nuts and the fixed columns. This arrangement is intended to limit the movement of the mounting plate using the lock nuts.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the installation structure of the valve positioner of this utility model are as follows: the rotatable mounting plate set at the bottom of the valve positioner body can adjust the rotation angle of the mounting plate according to the installation requirements. The end of the mounting plate is engaged with the U-shaped positioning block, which can quickly engage and fix it with the valve mounting stud, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the valve positioner body and the valve.

The first semi-circular threaded groove 5 and the second semi-circular threaded groove 6 are fixedly connected to the connecting studs on the valve surface.
[0018] Specifically, the rotatable mounting plate 3 at the bottom of the valve positioner body 1 can be adjusted according to the installation requirements. The end of the mounting plate 3 is engaged with the U-shaped positioning block 4, which can quickly engage and fix with the valve mounting stud, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the valve positioner body 1 and the valve.
[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention discloses an installation structure for a valve positioner. The inner walls of the U-shaped positioning block 4 are provided with locking holes 12 on both sides, and the mounting plate 3 is provided with retractable T-shaped posts 7 on both sides. The two T-shaped posts 7 are engaged with the corresponding locking holes 12.
