[0025] A safety valve with both temperature protection and pressure protection functions, such as Figure 1 As shown, it is arranged on the equipment installation base 1. This application takes the equipment installation base 1 as a tire as an example for explanation.

A hot melt 13 is provided in the cavity to seal the cavity, and the hot melt 13 can melt at a certain temperature; the dynamic valve body 6 can be inserted into the cavity of the static valve body 3 to seal the cavity.

[0028] The valve body driving mechanism includes a supporting assembly and a limiting assembly, the supporting assembly corresponds to a fixing member, a driving member and a sealing member, the sealing member is connected to the movable valve body 6, the fixing member can be engaged with the sealing member, and when the fixing member and the sealing member are engaged, the static valve body 3 and the movable valve body 6 are separated from each other; the driving member is connected to the fixing member, and the driving member can sense the pressure change at the cavity outlet and control the fixing member to disengage from the sealing member after the pressure drops to a certain level. After the sealing member and the fixing member are disengaged, the sealing member drives the movable valve body 6 to move to close the cavity.

[0029] Assume that the safety temperature value of the safety valve working place is T and the safety pressure value is P.

[0030] When the temperature is lower than the safety temperature value T, the safety valve will not be triggered. The safety valve diagram in this state is as follows Figure 5 At this time, the dynamic valve body 6 and the static valve body 3 are separated from each other, the driving member and the fixing member are engaged, and the driving member and the fixing member are in a stable connection state, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0031] When the temperature reaches a value higher than the safety temperature T, the hot melt 13 in the internal channel of the static valve body 3 will melt when the temperature exceeds the safety temperature T, and the channel will open to release the gas inside the device, and the internal pressure P inner Continuously decreasing; as the internal pressure P innerWhen the pressure reaches the safety value P, the driving part works and controls the fixing part to disengage from the sealing part. After the sealing part and the fixing part are disengaged, the sealing part drives the moving valve body 6 to move and seal the cavity. The moving valve body 6 and the static valve body 3 fit together. Figure 3 As shown, further release of gas inside the device is prevented, and the internal pressure of the device is P inner Can maintain the set safety pressure P.

[0032] Therefore, when the temperature is high, the tire pressure will not rise too much due to the high temperature.

[0034] Combine Figure 5 Since a sealed cavity is formed between the movable valve body 6 and the pressure diaphragm 10, the pressure in the sealed cavity remains unchanged, assuming it is P0. When the hot melt 13 melts, the pressure in the equipment mounting base 1 is released to the outside of the movable valve body 6 through the cavity, that is, the pressure outside the pressure diaphragm 10 is P inner When the pressure diaphragm 10 is at position P1, the internal pressure of the equipment is P inner = P0- P1; when the pressure diaphragm 10 is at position P2, the internal pressure of the equipment is P inner = P0- P2. When the internal pressure of the equipment is P inner When the pressure drops to the safety value P, the first connecting rod 8 pulls the fixing part toward the inside of the dynamic valve body 6 through the lever structure, thereby driving the fixing part to separate from the sealing part, and then the dynamic valve body 6 is driven by the sealing part to fit with the static valve body 3 and close the static valve body 3.
