Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electric actuators, and in particular to a connection structure for an electric actuator for valves. Background Technology

[0002] Electric actuators for valves are automated devices driven by electricity, used to control the opening, closing, or regulation of valves, and to achieve remote or automatic control of the flow rate, pressure, or flow direction of media (liquids, gases, etc.) in pipelines. They are widely used in petroleum, chemical, power, water treatment, pharmaceutical and other fields.

[0003] When existing electric actuators are connected to valves, they are usually connected through an output shaft that mates with the valve. This connection requires several bolts for locking. However, the support base around the output shaft of some electric actuators can affect the rotation of the bolts, making bolt locking difficult. Utility Model Content

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Reference Figure 1-2 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a connection structure for an electric actuator for a valve, comprising:

[0033] The valve body 100 has an actuator body 101 mounted on its upper side, and four sets of support rods 102 are provided on the lower side of the actuator body 101.

[0034] A connecting unit 200 is disposed between the valve body 100 and the actuator body 101. The connecting unit 200 includes an output shaft 201 and a valve stem 202, which are used to drive the valve body 100 to open and close. The actuator body 101 can drive the output shaft 201 to rotate, and the valve stem 202 can drive the valve body 100 to open and close.

[0035] The locking unit 300 is disposed on the surface of the output shaft 201. The locking unit 300 includes two sets of insert rods 303 for locking the output shaft 201 and the valve rod 202.

[0036] In use, the actuator body 101 is installed on the surface of the valve body 100, and the output shaft 201 is inserted into the valve stem 202. The connection is made through the connecting unit 200, and then the locking unit 300 locks the output shaft 201 and the valve stem 202, which further increases the connection stability of the output shaft 201 and the valve stem 202. At the same time, the operation is simple and easy to operate.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Reference Figure 2-4This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the connecting unit 200 includes an output shaft 201 disposed on the lower side of the actuator body 101, and a valve stem 202 is disposed at the lower end of the output shaft 201. The valve stem 202 is installed on the upper side of the valve body 100. A connecting groove 203 is formed on the upper surface of the valve stem 202, and the inner wall surface of the connecting groove 203 is movably connected to the surface of the output shaft 201. A fixing hole 207 is formed on the surface of the valve stem 202 for connecting the output shaft 201 and the valve stem 202.

[0039] Furthermore, limiting grooves 204 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the connecting groove 203, and side plates 205 are movably connected to the inner wall surface of the limiting grooves 204. Both sets of side plates 205 are fixedly connected to both sides of the output shaft 201, limiting the output shaft 201 inside the valve stem 202.

[0040] Furthermore, the lower surfaces of both sets of side plates 205 are curved, and the curved surfaces are movably connected to the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 204, making it easy for the side plates 205 to slide into the limiting groove 204.

[0041] Furthermore, the locking unit 300 includes a movable sleeve 301 that is slidably connected to the surface of the output shaft 201, and two sets of insert rods 303 are slidably connected inside the movable sleeve 301. The surfaces of the two sets of insert rods 303 are slidably connected to the inner wall surface of the fixing hole 207. The surface of the output shaft 201 is provided with an insertion hole 308, and the inner wall surface of the insertion hole 308 is slidably connected to the surfaces of the two sets of insert rods 303. The insert rods 303 are slid into the fixing hole 207 and the insertion hole 308 to lock the output shaft 201 and the valve stem 202.

[0042] Furthermore, a fixing plate 304 is fixedly connected to the surface of both sets of insertion rods 303, and the surface of the fixing plate 304 is slidably connected to the inner wall surface of the movable sleeve 301. A spring 305 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of both sets of fixing plates 304, and the other end of the spring 305 is fixedly connected to the inner wall surface of the movable sleeve 301. The spring force of the spring 305 pushes the insertion rod 303 to move, so that the insertion rod 303 slides into the fixing hole 207 and the insertion hole 308.

[0043] Furthermore, two sets of sliding grooves 302 are provided on one side of the movable sleeve 301, and sliders 306 are slidably connected to the inner wall surface of each sliding groove 302. Both sets of sliders 306 are fixedly connected to the fixed plate 304, and a lever 307 is fixedly connected to one end of each set of sliders 306. By pushing the lever 307, the sliders 306 are moved, so that the sliders 306 drive the insertion rod 303 to slide inside the movable sleeve 301 through the fixed plate 304.

[0044] Furthermore, the surface of the output shaft 201 is provided with another insertion hole 308, and the other insertion hole 308 is located on the upper side of the insertion hole 308. The inner wall surface of the other insertion hole 308 is slidably connected to the insertion rod 303 to fix and store the movable sleeve 301 and the insertion rod 303 before installation.

[0045] In use, the actuator body 101 is installed on the surface of the valve body 100, and the output shaft 201 is inserted into the valve stem 202. The side plate 205, which is fixedly connected to the output shaft 201, slides into the limiting groove 204, connecting the output shaft 201 and the valve stem 202. Then, by moving the dial plate 307, the slider 306 slides inside the slide groove 302. The fixing plate 304, which is fixedly connected to the slider 306, drives the insertion rod 303 to slide out from the other insertion hole 308. Then, the movable sleeve 301 is pulled down on the surface of the output shaft 201, aligning the insertion rod 303 with the fixing hole 207 and the insertion hole 308. Under the elastic force of the spring 305, the fixing plate 304 drives the insertion rod 303 to slide into the fixing hole 207 and the insertion hole 308, thereby locking the output shaft 201 and the valve stem 202, further increasing the connection stability of the output shaft 201 and the valve stem 202.

[0046] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
