This invention discloses a pressure differential-driven passive
discharge valve, belonging to the field of valve technology. The
discharge valve includes a
discharge valve
pipe, a valve, a vent, a pneumatic component, an elastic
rope, a
metal bellows, a slider, a trigger, a trigger shaft, and an anti-rotation rod. The valve is rotatably mounted inside the discharge valve
pipe. The vent connects the discharge valve
pipe to the pneumatic component. The elastic
rope connects the valve to the inner wall of the discharge valve pipe for
energy storage. The pneumatic component is driven by the
metal bellows. The slider engages with the lever-shaped trigger, which rotates around the trigger shaft and engages with the valve's unlocking part. When the discharge valve pipe is breached, air enters the pneumatic component through the vent. When the pressure inside the cavity reaches a set value, the
metal bellows is compressed, causing the slider to actuate the trigger and unlock the valve. The elastic
rope drives the valve to rotate to the normally open position defined by the anti-rotation rod. This invention requires no external power, relying on pressure differential to achieve passive opening, resulting in reliable operation and
rapid response.
