Power actuators are available for many of the valves used in industry These actuators are frequently powered by electric solenoids and by pneumatics Hydraulic power is also used as are rotary electric motors The power actuators are commonly designed to mate with valves that are also sold for manual operation In power operation there is frequently a good deal of stress on valve stem and stem seal.
Since the valve is not necessarily under human observation, a stem sometimes loosens resulting in improper operation and sometimes a lot of undesired spillage.
Both double acting and single acting power actuators are available The double acting actuator provides controlled power for both on and off operation of the valve.
The single acting actuator is normally powered in one direction only and has a spring return Such actuators are normally designed so that they open a valve under power and shut it by the spring return.
Sometimes, however, control systems are set up in reverse With a power actuator it is not always easy to tell whether a valve is open or shut so it is common to add some kind of indicator When a control system is set up to operate in reverse, it is necessary that the valve be open when at rest This change is easily made with ball valves and the like that can be operated through 3600 opening and closing at 90 intervals However, the indicator gets reversed when the valve is rotated 900 to be 50 open at the rest position.
In accordance with the present invention a power actuator is coupled to a valve stem by a socket which can be positioned over the valve stem assembly in any one of 55 four 90 spaced positions The external valve stem assembly includes a special washer with at least one projecting lug and the nut The special washer and stem are shaped to interlock so that one cannot 60 rotate without the other Since the lug and nut are both engaged by the socket and the stem cannot rotate without the lug, the stem cannot rotate without the nut either This prevents the nut from 65 loosening while turning the stem.
An indicator coupled to the actuator carries the indications of OPEN and SHUT as words, symbols or the like in a 3600 ring reading by way of example, OPEN 70 OPEN SHUT SHUT at 90 intervals The indicator is coupled to the actuator shaft to rotate with the shaft A cover over the indicator has a window exposing only one indication If the indicator goes from open 75 to shut when the shaft is turned clockwise, then reversing the indicator cover will cause it to go from shut to open with clockwise shaft rotation.
Thus the invention provides a valve 80 and actuator combination in which the actuator may be connected to the valve stem in either a normally open or normally closed position, a coupling in the connection that locks the valve stem nut with 85 the stem and an indicator that can be installed to read either for normally closed or normally open operation of the valve with valve rotation in the same direction for either case 90 tell 1.0 C 4 r_ W) ” 4 1 572 627 Accordingly therefore, the present inven remaining sides of valve 11 and is bolted to tion provides a power actuated valve corm mounting plate 24 by bolts 30.

of which fits ridges 27 in the bottom of Fluid pressure connections 57 and 58 are plate 24 Mounting strap 28 fits around the provided at one end of body 16 Pressure 130 1 572 627 1 572 627 provided at connection 57 centrally located at one end of body 16 forces piston 55 downward as viewed in Figure 4 Pressure connection 58 is coupled through bore 60 in wall 61 of body 16 providing a passage to the opposite end of chamber 56 Pressure provided through this connection thus forces piston 55 back upward with reference to Figure 4 The length of chamber 56 is accurately dimensioned so that the movement of piston 55 produces substantially a 90 rotation of ball 35.
Piston 55 includes a cylindrical piston head 62 and a leg 64 carrying gear teeth 54.
Referring to Figure 4 the bottom end of leg 64 has a bearing surface 65 against wall 61 of body 16 This bearing surface maintains teeth 54 engaged with teeth 52 of shaft 12 Piston head 62 also engages wall 61 to provide a fluid seal In between piston head 62 and bearing surface 65, the outside portion of leg 64 carries a tapered recess 66 In manufacture, tapered recess 66 is packed with lubricating grease which gradually feeds out over the tapered surface to maintain lubrication of bearing surface 65.
Figure 5 is a bottom plan view of actuator showing mounting plate 24 Mounting plate 24 has series of ridges 27 to accept different sizes of valves 11 As depicted, there are four sets of ridges to mate with four different sizes of valve bodies.
Figure 6 is a top plan view of actuator 10 showing indicator 14 with cover 15 removed It will be seen that the indications of ” SHUT ” and ” OPEN ” arranged around indicator 14 are such that when it indicates “SHUT” on one side it indicates OPEN” on the other With a 900 rotation of shaft 12, it can be seen that the indication at the opposite sides will reverse.
Thus, in order to reverse the sense of operation, valve 11 can be disconnected and valve stem 31 rotated 900 Then with actuator 10 reassembled to valve 11, cover 15 is removed by unscrewing two screws 18 and is reversed so that the window in cover 15 exposes the opposite indication of indicator 14 The actuator can be a spring return actuator instead of double acting or it can use two opposed pistons instead of one or it may be actuated by some other type of power drive than fluid pressure against a piston Likewise, the valve may be a plug valve or butterfly valve or any other type of valve using 900 rotation for operation.
