Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of actuators, and particularly relates to a shifting fork type pneumatic actuator.
Background
1. The output torque of the current partial rotation pneumatic actuator does not distinguish the torque rule of the ball valve and the butterfly valve in the motion process, but uniformly adopts an actuator to drive the ball valve and the butterfly valve, so that the defect is that in order to enable the selection to meet the requirement of the butterfly valve on driving torque, larger actuator specifications are required to be selected, and the selection cost of the actuator is increased.
2. The pneumatic actuator disclosed by the invention adopts a fully-closed design, and particularly, the sealing design is arranged at the contact positions of the upper part and the lower part of the shifting fork of the box module and the box body, so that the inside of the actuator is ensured not to enter liquid due to leakage of a valve or a pipeline, external dust and corrosive gas can be effectively prevented from entering the inside of the actuator, and the service life of the actuator is prolonged.
3. The cylinder module adopts a piston rod structure, and an anti-rotation structure is required to be added at the connection position of the piston rod and the sliding block. At present, the traditional structure adopts the glue to prevent loosening, and under the condition of long-term open-air work, weather resistance and the like of the glue are needed to be considered, so that the possibility of loosening exists. Once the fastening glue fails, the piston rotates due to uneven stress, and finally the threaded connection of the piston rod or the spring rod and the sliding block fails, so that the actuator cannot normally act.
