Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of water hammer relief valve, in particular to a pilot water hammer relief valve. BACKGROUND

[0002] Water hammer relief valve is usually the last line of defense to protect the pipeline, which can protect the entire pipeline system when all other safety devices fail. The traditional pilot water hammer relief valve mainly has the following shortcomings:

[0003] 1. In order to facilitate the pilot valve debugging, a needle valve is generally arranged on the outside pipeline of the pilot valve body to adjust the flow into the relief valve cavity, so as to reduce the difficulty of pilot valve setting. However, the needle valve is arranged separately on the outside pipeline, and the opening of the needle valve is easily affected by external factors to cause position change or damage, so that it cannot be ensured that the set value of the pilot valve is accurate, and further it will affect the accuracy of the relief valve.

[0004] 2. The medium entering the relief valve passes through the pipeline filter and the micro channel of the pilot valve, and naturally has the function of throttling and pressure reduction, so the pressure entering the valve cavity is generally lower than the pressure of the pipeline before the relief valve. When the set pressure value of the relief valve is low, or the operating pressure is low, the pressure difference may cause the relief valve to fail to close and seat, thereby causing an accident.

[0038] The adjusting device 216 and the switch device 217 are integrated on the pilot valve body 211, so that the interference of external factors on the adjusting precision can be effectively avoided, meanwhile, the pipeline leakage points are reduced and the installation space is saved. Through the main valve body 1 and the switch device 217, the medium at the front end of the main valve body 1 is directly introduced into the piston cavity 14 of the main valve body 1, so that the power for the valve disc 12 in the main valve body to return to the seat can be provided, and the problem that the pressure relief valve cannot be closed after being opened due to small pressure drop of the medium can be avoided.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above enumeration is only a specific embodiment of the present application. Obviously, the present application is not limited to the above embodiment, but can have many variations. All variations that can be directly derived or inferred from the disclosed content by those of ordinary skill in the art should be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
