The first switch piston member 513 is arranged between the first switch upper cavity 511 and the first switch lower cavity 512 and is connected with the first valve core 53, can separate the first switch upper cavity 511 and the first switch lower cavity 512 in the first valve closing state, communicate the first switch upper cavity 511 and the first switch lower cavity 512 in the first valve opening state, and under the interaction of the pressure difference of the first switch upper cavity 511, the first switch lower cavity 512 and the first control cavity 52 and the first elastic member 523, drives the first valve core 53 to convert between the first valve closing state and the first valve opening state.

[0066] In the embodiment, the first elastic member 523 is arranged in the first control lower cavity 522, one end of which is connected with the first control piston member 524, and the other end of which is connected with the first adjusting assembly 7, which is adapted to adjust the elastic force of the first elastic member 523.

[0067] As a convertible embodiment, the first adjusting assembly 7 and the second adjusting assembly 8 can be provided only one of them.

[0068] In the embodiment, the first adjusting assembly 7 and the second adjusting assembly 8 are provided in the same type, specifically, the adjusting assembly comprises a locking nut arranged outside the pilot valve, and a locking bolt passing through the locking nut and extending into the control lower cavity of the corresponding pilot valve, the locking bolt is in abutment or fixed connection with the elastic member of the corresponding pilot valve. In this way, the pre-tightening force of the elastic member in the pilot valve can be manually adjusted by screwing the locking bolt, and then the pressure threshold or flow threshold when the overflow valve cavity 1 is closed can be adjusted, and the overall setting is simple and compact.

[0069] As a convertible embodiment, the first adjusting assembly 7 and the second adjusting assembly 8 can be a cover that can be opened and closed, and by opening and closing the cover, the model of the internal elastic member can be replaced, and then the pre-tightening force of the elastic member can be adjusted.

[0070] In the embodiment, one end of the second valve core member 63 penetrates out of the second switch cavity 61 and is provided with the second operating handle 10, and one end of the first valve core member 53 penetrates out of the first switch cavity 51 and is provided with the first operating handle 9. By providing the operating handle, it is convenient for maintenance personnel to manually control the on-off of the burst safety valve, and it is convenient for adjustment.

[0071] Working process:

[0072] I. When the burst safety valve is working normally, the water pressure of the inlet end 12, the water pressure of the outlet end 11 and the water pressure of the pressure measuring pipe 4 are all at stable values. The fluid in the pipeline before and after the burst safety valve has stable pressure and stable flow rate. At this time, the first pilot valve 5 blocks the communication between the second switch cavity 61 of the second pilot valve 6 and the inlet end 12.

[0073] In the first pilot valve 5, since the first control upper cavity 521 is communicated with the water outlet end 11, the first switch upper cavity 511 is communicated with the water inlet end 12, the first control lower cavity 522 is communicated with the outside, and the first switch lower cavity 512 is communicated with the second switch lower cavity 612 of the second pilot valve 6, at this time, the first elastic member 523 is arranged in the first control lower cavity 522 and arranged in a compressed state, the pre-tightening force of which is less than the water pressure of the first control upper cavity 521, the first control piston member 524 and the first switch piston member 513 are at the lower dead point, and the first switch piston member 513 blocks the communication between the water inlet end 12 and the second switch lower cavity 612;

[0074] In the second pilot valve 6, since the second control lower cavity 622 is connected with the pressure measuring tube 4, the second control upper cavity 621 is connected with the water inlet end 12, and the second switch upper cavity 611 is connected with the main control cavity 2 of the main valve core, the second switch lower cavity 612 is blocked from being connected with the water inlet end 12 by the first pilot valve 5, the second elastic member 623 is arranged in the second control lower cavity 622 and exerts a force on the second control piston member 624 towards the second control upper cavity 621, and in this embodiment, the water pressure of the overflow valve cavity 1 is less than the water pressure in the pressure measuring tube 4, and then the upper side pressure received by the second valve core member 63, the second control piston member 624 and the second switch piston member 613 is less than the lower side pressure, and then the second control piston member 624 and the second switch piston member 613 are at the upper dead point, and the second switch piston member 613 blocks the main control cavity 2 from the second switch lower cavity 612.

[0075] Then, the water pressure of the main control upper cavity 21 and the main control lower cavity 22 of the burst pipe safety valve is zero, the main piston member 24 is driven by the pre-tightening force of the main elastic member 23 to drive the main valve core member 3 and the sealing valve disc 31 to move away from the abutment with the sealing inner protrusion 14, the main valve core member 3 is at the flow-through position, and the overflow valve cavity 1 is at the open state.

[0076] II. When the pipe behind the burst pipe safety valve bursts, the water flow passing through the burst pipe safety valve rapidly rises, and the pressure of the pipes before and after the burst pipe safety valve rapidly decreases.

[0077] At this time, the flow rate at the positions of the water inlet end 12 and the water outlet end 11 rises, and the water pressure decreases, and correspondingly, in the first pilot valve 5, the water pressure in the first control upper cavity 521 decreases, the water pressure in the first switch upper cavity 511 decreases, and then under the action of the pre-tightening force of the first elastic member 523, the first valve core member 53 moves towards the upper side, and the first switch piston member 513 moves in the same direction, and then the first switch upper cavity 511 and the second switch upper cavity 611 are communicated, and further, the water inlet end 12 is communicated with the second switch lower cavity 612 of the second pilot valve 6.

[0078] In the second pilot valve 6, the water pressure difference between the inlet 12 and the pressure pipe 4 changes, the second switch piston 613 and the second control piston 624 are driven to move the second valve core 63 downward under the driving of the water pressure overcoming the elastic force, to connect the inlet 12 and the main control upper cavity 21, and then the water pressure of the main control upper cavity 21 balances the water flow impact of the overflow valve cavity 1, the main valve piston overcomes the pre-tightening force of the main valve spring, moves downward, and the main valve starts to close. In the process of closing, the water pressure of the outlet 11 and the pressure of the pressure pipe 4 gradually decrease, so the movement trend of the first valve core 53 upward and the second valve core 63 downward in the first pilot valve 5 does not change until the burst safety valve is fully closed.

[0079] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating, but not limitation to the embodiments. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those skilled in the art. Here, all the embodiments are not required to be exhausted, and the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
