Abstract
Apparatus is provided for electro-mechanically fluctuating the position of a ball valve/ball valve stem. The said apparatus can electronically turn the ball valve smoothly and effectively to any position in response to the input signal provided by a microcontroller interfacing with a motor driver controller. The apparatus control inputs will range from: voice command, push buttons, motion sensor, android, and/or touchscreen. An input means to send signals to the microcontroller, which send a signal to the stepper motor driver circuit, which send a signal to control the Stepper motor, which will maneuver a machined made driveshaft to operate the momentum of the ball valve/ball valve shaft for accurate and precise liquescent output.
Claims15
A motorized valve with an adjustable gearbox, comprising:
- an actuating device, which receives multiple signals from a controller to convert digital pulses into variable speed mechanical shaft rotation to proportionally actuate a ball valve, the actuating device connected to an adjustable gearbox to adjust actuating speed of the ball valve;
- the adjustable gearbox being manually adjustable to a plurality of different gear pattern settings to vary the speed or torque of the ball valve;
- a driveshaft which links the adjustable gearbox to the ball valve;
- an emergency shut-off handle connected to the ball valve for shutting off the ball valve manually in case of emergency;
- wherein the motorized valve electronically and proportionally outputs a precise fluid temperature, a specific valve position, and/or a precise fluid pressure.
