FLUID-OPERATED ACTUATING DRIVE ON A VALVE
First Claim
1. A fluid-operated valve actuating drive (1), especially a shutoff, safety or regulating valve actuating drive, comprising:
- a base unit (2) provided with control valves, two linear actuators (6, 7) disposed opposite one another and capable of being fluidically actuated via the control valves, a mechanical converter (5), which is disposed between the two linear actuators, which couples their slides (81) with one another and the output of which is coupled with the input of the valve, and an electrically driven pressurized-fluid supply unit (3) integrated in the base unit (2),wherein the valve actuating drive uses hydraulic fluid as the working fluid, is provided with a port (16) for an external hydraulic accumulator (17) and is constructed as a closed fluidic drive system provided with one electrical input and one mechanical take-off means (23) acting on the input of the valve,wherein the valve actuating drive (1) is constructed modularly from individual components in the form of the base unit, joined together as a functional unit, of the two linear actuators and of the mechanical converter, and all fluid communications between the base unit (2) and the linear actuators (6, 7) and if necessary the mechanical converter (5) are routed inside the individual components, so that no kind of exposed fluid lines exist, and further comprising a self-aspirating filling device comprising a filling port (50), which is suitable for the first filling of the fluid system with hydraulic fluid from a cartridge (53), especially a device disposed on the base unit (2) or on an emergency actuation block (4) that may be provided if necessary, and which besides the cartridge port does not need an additional external refilling port.

Abstract
A fluid-operated actuating drive (1) on a valve, in particular a shut-off, safety or regulating valve, comprising a base unit (2) having control valves, two linear actuators (6, 7) which are located opposite of each other and can be actuated fluidically, and a mechanical converter (5) which is arranged between the two linear actuators and couples the gates thereof to each other, wherein the outlet of the converter is coupled to the inlet of the valve. To this end, the actuating drive is composed in a modular manner of individual components joined to form a functional unit in the form of the base unit, the two linear actuators and the mechanical converter.
