[0014] (3) Beneficial effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a PV valve for a ballast tank, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The PV valve used in the ballast tank cooperates with the pressure spring, the pressure valve disc body and the sealing ring. When the air pressure in the ballast tank is too high and needs to be relieved outward, the pressure valve disc will naturally press on the sealing ring under the action of the pressure spring. When the air pressure in the ballast tank is too high, the pressure acting on the pressure valve disc increases, so that the pressure valve disc moves upward, and the gas in the ballast tank is discharged to complete the pressure relief. The pressure relief effect is good and more convenient.

[0017] 2. The PV valve used in the ballast tank, through the action of the negative pressure valve disc body, the negative pressure valve disc seal and the negative pressure valve disc spring, when the air pressure in the ballast tank is too low and needs to be increased inward, the process is exactly the opposite of the outward pressure relief process. Under normal circumstances, the negative pressure valve disc is naturally pressed on the negative pressure valve disc seal under the action of the negative pressure valve disc spring. When the air pressure in the ballast tank is too low, the external atmospheric pressure causes the negative pressure valve disc to move downward, and the external gas enters the ballast tank to increase the air pressure in the tank, thereby completing the pressurization process in the PV valve, and the use effect is better.

[0018] 3. The PV valve used in the ballast tank cooperates with the float, the negative pressure valve disc body and the negative pressure valve disc seal. When the PV valve is immersed in water, the float floats up due to the buoyancy, which gives an upward pulling force to the pull rod on the negative pressure valve disc, making the negative pressure valve disc and the negative pressure valve disc seal fit more tightly, preventing water from entering the ballast tank when the water pressure is too high, and achieving a better effect.

[0019] 4. The PV valve used in the ballast tank cooperates with the vacuum pressure relief rod and the negative pressure valve disc body. When the vacuum pressure in the ballast tank needs to be discharged, the user completes it through the vacuum pressure relief rod. When the water depth of the ballast tank needs to be measured on board (measured by pressure), it is necessary to ensure that the tank is pressure-free. At this time, the user presses the vacuum pressure relief rod to hold the pull rod below. The pull rod drives the negative pressure valve disc to open, allowing the ballast tank cavity to communicate with the outside world, ensuring that there is no pressure in the tank, thereby completing the discharge of the vacuum pressure in the ballast tank, thereby forming a pressure-free state, and having a better effect.

The rotation between the pressure valve disc limiter 17 and the No. 3 hexagon socket screw 22 completes the connection.

[0032] The negative pressure valve disc body 20 and the pressure valve disc body 7 are movably connected, the negative pressure valve disc seal 21 and the negative pressure valve disc body 20 are movably connected, and the negative pressure valve disc spring 23 and the pressure valve disc body 7 are movably connected, which is conducive to the connection of some components of the PV valve.

[0034] During operation, when the air pressure in the ballast tank is too high and needs to be relieved outward, the pressure valve disc naturally presses on the sealing ring 8 under the action of the pressure spring 6. When the air pressure in the ballast tank is too high, the pressure acting on the pressure valve disc increases, so that the pressure valve disc moves upward, and the gas in the ballast tank is discharged to complete the pressure relief, and the pressure relief effect is better and more convenient. On the contrary, when the air pressure in the ballast tank is too low and needs to be pressurized inward, the process is just the opposite of the outward pressure relief. Under normal circumstances, the negative pressure valve disc naturally presses on the negative pressure valve disc seal 21 under the action of the negative pressure valve disc spring 23. When the air pressure in the ballast tank is too low, the external atmospheric pressure causes the negative pressure valve disc to move downward, and the external gas enters the ballast tank to increase the air pressure in the tank, thereby completing the pressurization process in the PV valve, and the use effect is better. When the PV When the valve is immersed in water, the float 4 floats up due to the buoyancy, which gives the pull rod on the negative pressure valve disc an upward pulling force, so that the negative pressure valve disc and the negative pressure valve disc seal 21 fit more tightly, preventing water from entering the ballast tank when the water pressure is too high. At the same time, when the vacuum pressure in the ballast tank needs to be discharged, the user completes it through the vacuum pressure relief rod 1. When the water depth of the ballast tank needs to be measured on board (measured by pressure), it is necessary to ensure that there is no pressure in the tank. At this time, the user presses the vacuum pressure relief rod 1 to support the pull rod below, and the pull rod drives the negative pressure valve disc to open, allowing the inner cavity of the ballast tank to communicate with the outside world, ensuring that there is no pressure in the tank, thereby completing the discharge of the vacuum pressure in the ballast tank, thereby forming a pressure-free state, making the PV valve more convenient to use and more practical.

[0035] In summary, through the cooperation of the pressure spring 6, the pressure valve disc body 7 and the sealing ring 8, when the air pressure in the ballast tank is too high and needs to be relieved outward, the pressure valve disc will naturally cover the sealing ring 8 under the action of the pressure spring 6. When the air pressure in the ballast tank is too large, the pressure acting on the pressure valve disc increases, so that the pressure valve disc moves upward, and the gas in the ballast tank is discharged to complete the pressure relief. Through the action of the negative pressure valve disc body 20, the negative pressure valve disc seal 21 and the negative pressure valve disc spring 23, when the air pressure in the ballast tank is too low and needs to be pressurized inward, the process of outward pressure relief is just the opposite. The negative pressure valve disc naturally covers the negative pressure valve disc seal 21 under the action of the negative pressure valve disc spring 23. When the air pressure in the ballast tank is too low, the action of the external atmospheric pressure causes the negative pressure valve disc to move downward, and the external gas enters the ballast tank to increase the air pressure in the tank, thereby completing the pressurization process in the PV valve, which can conveniently complete the pressure relief and pressurization processes in the ballast tank. In the process, through the cooperation of the float 4, the negative pressure valve disc body 20 and the negative pressure valve disc seal 21, when the PV valve is immersed in water, the float 4 floats up due to the buoyancy, which applies an upward pulling force to the pull rod on the negative pressure valve disc, making the negative pressure valve disc and the negative pressure valve disc seal 21 fit more tightly, preventing water from entering the ballast tank when the water pressure is too high, thereby improving the use effect of the PV valve. Through the cooperation of the vacuum pressure relief rod 1 and the negative pressure valve disc body 20, when the vacuum pressure in the ballast tank needs to be discharged, the user uses the vacuum pressure relief rod 1 to complete it. When the water depth of the ballast tank needs to be measured on board (measured by pressure), it is necessary to ensure that the tank is depressurized. At this time, the user presses the vacuum pressure relief rod 1 to push against the pull rod below, and the pull rod drives the negative pressure valve disc to open, allowing the ballast tank cavity to communicate with the outside world, ensuring that the tank is depressurized, thereby completing the vacuum pressure discharge in the ballast tank more conveniently and with strong practical effect.
