[0052] The arrangement of the flow guide assembly can guide and reduce the pressure of the medium entering the second pressure relief pipe during the pressure relief process (the flow guide plate can reduce the pressure to a certain extent by blocking the medium), so as to prevent the medium from being sprayed out of the opening on the wall of the second pressure relief pipe due to excessive pressure.
[0053] The elastic clamping piece 10 is preferably fixed on the mouth wall of the inlet of the second pressure relief pipe and is adapted to be clamped with the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe.

The axis of the elastic clamping piece is perpendicular to the plate surface of the end plate of the second pressure relief pipe. The outer diameter of the elastic clamping piece matches the caliber of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe, so that the elastic clamping piece can rotate in the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe after being inserted into the outlet. The elastic clamping piece and the mouth wall of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe form a rotating and matching connection structure between the outlet end of the first pressure relief pipe and the inlet end of the second pressure relief pipe.

The elastic clamping teeth are spaced apart from each other to facilitate elastic radial deformation of the elastic clamping teeth when subjected to external force. The elastic clamping teeth include an elastic plate and a clamping hook provided at the outer end of the elastic plate. The hook portion of the clamping hook extends radially outward. The outer diameter of the elastic plate matches the caliber of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe to enable relative rotation after plugging. The height of the elastic plate matches the thickness of the end plate of the first pressure relief pipe to facilitate axial (axial of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe) limiting after plugging.

[0055] The rotating and positioning structure preferably includes a positioning protrusion 11 provided on the side wall of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe and a positioning groove (or notch) provided on the radial outer wall of the elastic clamping piece and matched with the positioning protrusion. The number of the positioning protrusions and the positioning grooves is both two, which are symmetrically distributed along the circumference on the respective setting wall surfaces. In the relative rotation process of the first pressure relief pipe and the second pressure relief pipe, each positioning protrusion slides into the corresponding positioning groove, realizing the circumferential limiting and fixing of the elastic clamping piece relative to the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe, and further realizing the rotating and fixing of the second pressure relief pipe relative to the first pressure relief pipe.
[0056] The two side walls of the positioning protrusions along the circumference of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe and the side wall of the positioning protrusions outward of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe are preferably inclined from outside to inside, which facilitates the insertion of the elastic clamping member into the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe (the side wall of the positioning protrusions outward of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe does not significantly block the insertion of the elastic clamping member) and the circumferential sliding of the positioning protrusions in and out of the positioning grooves.
[0057] The two positioning protrusions are preferably arranged at positions on the side wall of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe corresponding to the topmost end and the bottommost end of the end plate of the first pressure relief pipe, i.e. when the axis of the first pressure relief pipe is horizontal and the plane of the end plate of the first pressure relief pipe forms a 45° angle with the horizontal plane, the two positioning protrusions are arranged at the top end and the bottom end of the side wall of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe, respectively.

In this way, when the two positioning protrusions are positioned in the two positioning grooves, the axis of the first pressure relief pipe is in line with the axis of the second pressure relief pipe, and the pressure relief pipe is in a straight pipe form. By relatively rotating the first pressure relief pipe and the second pressure relief pipe, the two positioning protrusions are slid out of the two positioning grooves, and then are slid into the two positioning grooves again to be positioned, the axis of the first pressure relief pipe is perpendicular to the axis of the second pressure relief pipe, and the pressure relief pipe is in a 90° right-angle bent pipe form. Moreover, after the two positioning protrusions are positioned in the two positioning grooves, the pressure relief pipe can only be in the straight pipe form or the 90° right-angle bent pipe form, and cannot be in other angle forms to affect the installation and use of the safety valve group.
[0058] A plurality of blocking protrusions 12 can be arranged on the side wall of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe, the height of the blocking protrusions protruding from the side wall of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe is less than the height of the positioning protrusions protruding from the side wall of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe, the plurality of blocking protrusions are uniformly distributed along the circumference of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe, or the plurality of blocking protrusions and the two positioning protrusions are uniformly distributed along the circumference of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe. The arrangement of the blocking protrusions can always press the circumferential side wall of the elastic clamping member during the insertion of the elastic clamping member into the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe and the rotation after the insertion of the elastic clamping member into the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe, so that the circumferential side wall of the elastic clamping member always maintains a certain degree of elastic deformation radially inward, facilitating the insertion and rotation of the elastic clamping member relative to the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe.
[0059] The two side walls of the blocking protrusion along the circumference of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe and the side wall towards the outside of the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe are preferably inclined from the outside to the inside, so that the elastic clamping piece is easily inserted into the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe and rotated after being inserted into the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe.
[0060] A sealing ring 13 is preferably arranged between the first pressure relief pipe and the second pressure relief pipe to prevent leakage of the medium during pressure relief. A sealing ring mounting groove can be arranged on the outer side of the end plate of the first pressure relief pipe, the sealing ring mounting groove is coaxial with the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe, and the outlet of the first pressure relief pipe is located in the sealing ring mounting groove. The sealing ring is mounted in the sealing ring mounting groove.

The side walls of the first stop piece and the second stop piece towards the vertical axial section of the pressure relief pipe are located on the vertical axial section of the pressure relief pipe. The length of the first stop piece protruding from the outer wall of the first pressure relief pipe is greater than the distance between the first stop piece and the first pressure relief pipe end plate, the length of the second stop piece protruding from the outer wall of the second pressure relief pipe is greater than the distance between the second stop piece and the second pressure relief pipe end plate, and the distance between the first stop piece and the first pressure relief pipe end plate is the same as the distance between the second stop piece and the second pressure relief pipe end plate. In this way, during the rotation of the first pressure relief pipe and the second pressure relief pipe, when the second pressure relief pipe is rotated to a position where the axis of the second pressure relief pipe is perpendicular to the axis of the first pressure relief pipe (the pressure relief pipe is in the form of a 90° right-angle elbow pipe), in addition to the two positioning protrusions of the rotation positioning structure sliding into the corresponding positioning grooves, the second stop piece abuts against the corresponding side of the first stop piece, thereby assisting the rotation positioning of the first pressure relief pipe and the second pressure relief pipe.
