Existing automatic regulating valves usually use a valve drive assembly to drive the rotation of a rotating shaft of the valve, thereby driving a valve clack in a valve body to rotate, so as to realize the flowing or blocking of fluid in the valve body. In some cases, when the rotating shaft rotates, it may be accompanied by axial movement, which easily causes the existing valve drive assembly to be unable to be adapted to the axial movement of the rotating shaft, and thus cannot drive the rotating shaft well. Therefore, some existing valve drive assemblies have the problem of poor adaptability.
In order to solve at least one of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a valve drive assembly, transmission parts of which can slide relative to each other, so as to be adapted to the axial displacement of the rotating shaft.

The valve drive assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first transmission part 110, a second transmission part 120, and a driving part 140. The first transmission part 110 is configured to be detachably connected with the rotating shaft 210 of the valve 10; the second transmission part 120 is in transmission connection with the first transmission part 110, and can move in an axial direction of the rotating shaft 210 relative to the first transmission part 110; the driving part 140 is in transmission connection with the second transmission part 120, the driving part 140 is configured to drive the second transmission part 120 to rotate so as to drive the first transmission part 110 and the rotating shaft 210 of the valve 10 to rotate, and finally realize the opening or closing of the valve 10. As the first transmission part 110 and the second transmission part 120 can move relatively, the first transmission part 110 can produce corresponding sliding with the second transmission part 120 even if the rotating shaft 210 is axially displaced, in the process that the valve drive assembly 100 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 210, but the matching relationship is still maintained without affecting the transmission. Therefore, the valve drive assembly 100 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure has good adaptability.
As shown in
In the present embodiment, optionally, the second transmission part 120 has a second hole 121, and the second transmission part 120 is configured to be sheathed on an outer side of the first transmission part 110 through the second hole 121. One of the outer side of the first transmission part 110 or an inner side of the second transmission part 120 is provided with a guide structure, and the other is provided with a guide groove 122. An extending direction of the guide groove 122 is consistent with an extending direction of and axis of the rotating shaft 210, and the guide structure is in sliding fit with the guide groove 122. By the relative sliding between the guide groove 122 and the guide structure, the axial displacement between the first transmission part 110 and the second transmission part 120 is realized. In cases where the first transmission part 110 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 210, when the second transmission part 120 moves relative to the first transmission part 110, a moving direction thereof is consistent with the extending direction of the axis of the rotating shaft 210.
In the present embodiment, the second transmission part 120 is cylindrical, so that the second hole 121 is formed in the middle portion for the first transmission part 110 to be sheathed. It should be understood that the second hole 121 of the second transmission part 120 may be a through hole or a blind hole. An end portion of the second transmission part 120 is in transmission connection with the driving part 140.
In this embodiment, the first transmission part 110 includes a body 111 and the guide structure protruding on an outer side of the body 111. The body 111 is used to connect with the rotating shaft of the valve; the guide structure is configured to match with the guide groove (the guide groove 122 inside the second transmission part 120 in the embodiment of the present disclosure) on an external mating part, so as to realize that the mating part can drive the body 111 and the rotating shaft of the valve to rotate through the guide structure, and can slide in the axial direction of the rotating shaft relative to the first transmission part 110. In the present embodiment, the guide structure includes a mounting column 112 protruding on the outer side of the body 111 and a roller 113 arranged on the mounting column 112. The guide structure is configured to extend into the guide groove 122 so that the roller 113 can roll on an inner wall of the guide groove 122. When the valve drive assembly 100 drives the rotating shaft 210 to rotate, if the rotating shaft 210 moves axially (such as ascending or descending), the first transmission part 110 will also move axially with the rotating shaft 210, thereby sliding relative to the second transmission part 120, but it still keeps matching with the second transmission part 120, therefore it does not affect the transmission. By providing the roller 113, the resistance of the guide structure moving along the guide groove 122 can be reduced. Optionally, the roller 113 may be a bearing. It should be understood that, in some other embodiments, the guide structure may only be a bump or a boss without the roller 113, especially when the friction coefficient between the guide structure and the inner wall of the guide groove 122 is relatively small, the roller 113 can be omitted to save the cost.
Optionally, an outer peripheral side of the body 111 is a cylindrical surface, and when the first transmission part 110 includes a plurality of guide structures, the plurality of guide structures are arranged at intervals around the outer peripheral side of the body 111. Optionally, a plurality of guide structures may be uniformly or non-uniformly arranged around the outer peripheral side of the body 111. As shown in the figure, the body 111 has the first hole 1111 extending in the axial direction, so that the body is formed into a cylindrical shape for sheathing on outer side of the rotating shaft of the valve. In various embodiments of
The first transmission part 110 used in the embodiment of
By providing the clamping slot 123 and the bulge 132, the second transmission part 120 can move in the axial direction relative to the third transmission part 130. Therefore, when the driving part 140, the first transmission part 110, and the third transmission part 130 are fixed, the position of the second transmission part 120 relative to the third transmission part 130 can be adjusted, so that it can be in transmission connection with the first transmission part 110 while being connected to the third transmission part 130. For example, when the rotating shaft 210 of the valve 10 is short, the second transmission part 120 can move a certain distance in a direction closer to the valve body 200 relative to the third transmission part 130, so that it is fit with the first transmission part 110 on rotating shaft 210.
As shown in
The rotating shaft 210 of the valve 10 provided in the embodiment of
As shown in
In an optional embodiment, the support part 150 is provided with a snap-fit 152 for connecting the pipeline 11 and/or the valve body 200. As shown in
In an optional embodiment, the output shaft of the driving part 140 is coaxial with the second transmission part 120, which can improve the transmission efficiency. Arranging the first transmission part 110 and the second transmission part 120 as helical gears can make the transmission more stable and can bear greater load.
Of course, as mentioned above, when the rotating shaft 210 of the valve 10 is inclined relative to the pipeline 11, the valve drive assembly 100 can also be inclined accordingly, as shown in

By enabling the first transmission part to move relative to the second transmission part in the axial direction of the rotating shaft, even if the rotating shaft rises and lowers in the axial direction during the rotation, the first transmission part moves therewith, and can always maintain cooperation with the second transmission part, thus realizing the transmission between the two. Therefore, the valve drive assembly provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can be adapted to the axial displacement of the rotating shaft, and has better adaptability. The transmission part (first transmission part) provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to the above-mentioned valve drive assembly to achieve the above-mentioned beneficial effects.
