The invention provides a pressure relief device. The pressure relief device comprises a sealing valve, a blasting needle, a valve rod mechanism, a power mechanism and a compression bar mechanism; thevalve rod mechanism bears the pressure of the inlet end of the sealing valve and axially extrudes the blasting needle; the power mechanism is connected to the sealing valve and has a tendency to openthe sealing valve; when the blasting needle is stable, the valve rod mechanism is not triggered, levers of the compression bar mechanism are limited, the levers limit baffles so as to lock the power mechanism in a state that the sealing valve is closed; when the pressure exceeds a set pressure value, the blasting needle is unstable, when the valve rod mechanism is triggered, the levers do not limit the baffles, so that the levers lose the limiting effect on the power mechanism, and the power mechanism drives the sealing valve to be opened for pressure relief. According to the pressure relief device, the pressure relief precision is high, debris is not generated in the pressure relief process, the maintenance cost is avoided, reset is simple, and the shutdown cost is low; and in addition, the levers and the baffles are coordinated with the action of a control lever, so that the influence of the friction force can be reduced, and therefore the pressure relief device can be more sensitivein response.
