Here, the illustrative embodiments and their descriptions are used to explain this application, but are not intended to limit it.

[0048] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are merely used to distinguish between descriptions and have no special meaning.
[0049] refer to Figures 1 to 6 ,like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides an explosion-proof valve with a pressure relief structure, including an explosion-proof valve body 1 and a pressure relief structure. The explosion-proof valve body 1 has a connecting hole 11. The pressure relief structure includes: a pressure relief cylinder 2, which is connected to the upper end of the explosion-proof valve body 1, and a side leakage hole 226 is provided on one side of the pressure relief cylinder 2; a plug 3, the lower end of which is threaded into the pressure relief cylinder 2; and a float 4, which is disposed in the pressure relief cylinder 2, with its lower end slidably disposed in the plug 3. The annular flange 45 of the float 4 can press against the upper surface of the plug 3, thereby realizing the pressure relief of the explosion-proof valve body 1. A sealing element; an upper pressure shaft 5, which is sealed and connected inside the pressure relief cylinder 2 and abuts against the top of the float body 4; an adjusting mechanism 6, which is installed on the top of the pressure relief cylinder 2 and includes a piston 68 that can move up and down and abuts against the top of the upper pressure shaft 5; specifically, by adjusting the up and down movement of the piston 68, the pressure of the upper pressure shaft 5 against the float body 4 can be adjusted, so that the squeezing action of the annular flange 45 against the plug 3 can be adjusted, thereby controlling whether the connecting hole 11 and the side leakage hole 226 are connected, thereby adjusting the pressure relief pressure of the explosion-proof valve body 1.
[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the pressure relief cylinder 2 includes an integrally connected flange 21, which is mounted on the explosion-proof valve body 1; and a long cylinder 22, which is connected to the upper end of the flange 21.
[0051] In this embodiment, the elongated cylindrical body 22 has: a lower hole 221, which is connected to the upper end of the connecting hole 11; a middle hole 222, which is connected to the upper end of the lower hole 221; a sliding cavity 223, which is connected to the upper end of the middle hole 222, the upper connecting part 31 of the plug 3 is slidably disposed in the sliding cavity 223, the upper pressure shaft 5 is sealed and connected in the sliding cavity 223, the side leakage hole 226 is opened on one side of the sliding cavity 223; and a guide groove 224, which is connected to the upper end of the sliding cavity 223, and the guide groove 224 is provided with a guide slope 225.
[0052] like Figure 3As shown, the plug 3 also includes a lower connecting part 32 and an extension part 33. The lower connecting part 32 is integrally connected to the lower end of the upper connecting part 31, and the extension part 33 is integrally connected to the lower end of the lower connecting part 32. The lower connecting part 32 is threadedly connected to the central hole 222, and the extension part 33 is slidably connected in the lower hole 221. A rubber sealing ring 7 is provided between the lower end face of the lower connecting part 32 and the bottom wall of the central hole 222. The rubber sealing ring 7 can increase the sealing between the plug 3 and the long cylinder 2.
[0053] In this embodiment of the application, a small hole 34 is provided in the plug 3. The small hole 34 passes through the upper connecting part 31 and the lower connecting part 32. The lower end of the small hole 34 is connected to the connecting hole 11, and the upper end of the small hole 34 is connected through the sliding cavity 223.
[0054] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the float body 4 further includes: a connecting rod 41, the lower end of which extends into the small hole 34; a sliding shaft 42, which is connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 41 and slides in cooperation with the small hole 34; and a pressing body 44, which is connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 41 and can abut against the top of the upper pressing shaft 5 and the upper connecting part 31.
[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, the sliding shaft 42 has several elongated holes 43, which are connected to the small holes 34. The annular flange 45 is connected to the outside of the pressing body 44, and the bottom of the upper pressing shaft 5 can press against the annular flange 45.
[0056] In this embodiment of the application, the bottom of the upper pressure shaft 5 has a pressing cone surface 52, which can press against the annular flange 45. The outer side of the upper pressure shaft 5 is provided with an annular sealing ring 51 and a spring piece 53. The spring piece 53 is located above the annular sealing ring 51. The annular sealing ring 51 is sealed between the upper pressure shaft 5 and the sliding cavity 223.
[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, the spring piece 53 includes a long plate body 531 and a protrusion 532 connected to the upper end of the long plate body 531. The long plate body 531 is installed on the outside of the upper pressure shaft 5. The protrusion 532 can abut against the guide inclined surface 225. The protrusion 532 can deform when squeezed, thereby improving the connection between the upper pressure shaft 5 and the sliding cavity 223 through the spring piece 53, making the upper pressure shaft 5 more securely installed, and also improving the sealing effect of the annular sealing ring 51 on the pressure relief cylinder 2.
[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, the adjusting mechanism 6 further includes: a cover 61, which is installed on the top of the long cylindrical body 22, and the piston 68 is slidably engaged with the through cavity 611 of the cover 61; a plurality of helical springs 69, which abut against the countersunk hole 54 of the upper pressure shaft 5 and the bottom of the piston 68; a roller 681, which is connected to the top of the piston 68; a moving block 62, which is slidably disposed in the long cavity 612 of the cover 61, and the roller 681 abuts against the side inclined surface 641 of the moving block 62; a screw 65, which is connected to the right end of the moving block 62; and a nut 66, which is connected to the screw 65 and fixed to the cover 61.
[0059] In this embodiment of the application, a handwheel 67 is provided at the right end of the screw 65, a keyway 621 is provided at the top of the moving block 62, a guide key 63 is provided in the keyway 621, the top of the guide key 63 is connected to the cover 61, a notch 64 is provided in the moving block 62, and the side slope 641 is located at the left end of the notch 64.
[0060] Working principle: During installation, rotating the handwheel 67 causes the screw 65 to move the moving block 62 to the left. This causes the side inclined surface 641 to press against the roller 681, which in turn causes the piston 68 to press against the coil spring 69. This causes the upper pressure shaft 5 to move downwards, compressing the annular flange 45. Under the action of the upper pressure shaft 5, the float body 4 moves downwards, and the sliding shaft 42 extends into the small hole 34. The pressure body 44 presses against the upper surface of the upper connecting part 31, thus sealing the small hole 34 and the connecting hole 11. To release pressure, rotate the handwheel 67 in the opposite direction. As the moving block 62 moves to the left, the squeezing effect of the side slope 641 on the roller 681 disappears. Under the elastic action of the helical spring 69, the piston 68 moves upward. Due to the buoyancy of the float body 4 itself, the float body 4 moves upward, causing the bottom surface of the pressure body 44 to separate from the upper surface of the upper connecting part 31. Thus, the elongated hole 43 and the sliding cavity 223 are connected, and the side leakage hole 226 is connected to the sliding cavity 223. As a result, the gas will pass through the connecting hole 11, the lower end of the small hole 34 and the elongated hole 43 in sequence and then be discharged from the side leakage hole 226.
[0061] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to the embodiments of this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
