This invention discloses a novel multifunctional air valve, relating to the field of air valve technology. It includes, from top to bottom, a protective cover, a middle cover, and a valve body. The bottom of the protective cover has a cavity, and the top of the protective cover has an
exhaust valve assembly. The
exhaust valve assembly includes an
exhaust valve inserted into a pre-reserved opening in the protective cover, and an exhaust nut is threaded onto the exhaust valve. The valve body has a main valve exhaust
assembly, which includes a screw, a sealing
gasket, a first O-ring, a sealing pressure plate, a
valve stem, a middle pressure plate, a connecting sleeve, and a main valve exhaust through-hole. The middle pressure plate is fixed to the bottom of the middle cover by screws, and the outer edge of the sealing
gasket is fixed by the middle pressure plate. This invention, through the cooperation of a float and a
piston, achieves low-pressure, high-speed, large-volume exhaust and high-pressure, slow exhaust, effectively preventing
water hammer, ensuring safe pipeline operation, and enabling rapid exhaust in emergencies, thus ensuring
system stability and safety.
