The invention relates to the field of
diaphragm valve control mechanisms, in particular to a
valve actuator and a using method thereof.The
valve actuator comprises a valve body and a valve
deck fixed to the top of the valve body and further comprises an
actuator mechanism, and the
actuator mechanism comprises a lower cylinder cover, a cylinder body and an upper cylinder cover which are vertically communicated in sequence; a
piston rod penetrating out of the valve
deck downwards is arranged in the middle of the upper cylinder cover in a penetrating mode, and the cylinder body is divided into an upper
air chamber and a lower
air chamber by a
piston disc outside the
piston rod. The rotatable sliding ring is arranged to be communicated with the upper air
pipe connector and the lower air
pipe connector, two-degree-of-freedom flexible adjustment of the circumferential position and the rotation direction of the air
pipe connector is achieved, and the problem of installation
adaptation caused by the fact that the position of an existing
actuator air pipe connector is fixed is solved; the sliding ring is unlocked by squeezing the two sets of elastic pieces to be close to the supporting ring, the air pipe connector is driven to adjust the circumferential distribution position so as to adapt to different circumferential layouts of external air path connectors, and operation is convenient and fast.
