Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of highly mobile cooking support vehicles, and in particular to a pressure relief device. Background Art

[0002] The reheating box is a core piece of equipment for highly mobile cooking support vehicles. It typically operates in two modes: onboard and on the back. Based on application, it can be categorized into two types: for processing staple foods and for reheating side dishes. Based on geographic location, it can be divided into general-purpose, high-altitude, and flat-bed models. To ensure its suitability for backpack use, the reheating box's design principles prioritize environmental adaptability and excellent airtightness.

[0003] In actual engineering practice, the following problems exist:

[0004] 1. The existing reheating box is equipped with a steam inlet and outlet, a pressure relief device, a pressure gauge, etc. When the internal steam pressure is too high, the pressure is released through the pressure relief device.

[0005] However, since highly mobile cooking support vehicles often work in harsh outdoor environments and are kept outdoors for long periods of time, some components will be subject to more erosion, resulting in a reduction in their lifespan. For example, the pressure relief valve is generally opened and closed by a spring, which is easily damaged by wind and rain erosion, resulting in the pressure relief valve opening unexpectedly when the pressure in the reheating box does not meet the standard. The working environment and tasks of highly mobile cooking support vehicles determine that maintenance is difficult.

[0006] The use of a two-stage pressure relief, double spring and double insurance method may solve the problem, but the effect is limited because both stages of the springs are exposed to harsh environments. If the performance of one degrades, the probability of the other performance degrading is also high. It is not a foolproof solution.

[0007] 2. The pressure relief pipe in the reheating box in the prior art often includes a horizontal section and a vertical section. The pressure relief structure is usually set in the vertical section. However, impurities are easily accumulated in the horizontal section (for example, some food has fallen or entered the box in a harsh environment), which is difficult to clean after long-term accumulation.

[0008] 3. The pressure relief device of the prior art lacks the function of regulating the opening and closing of the pressure relief hole. It may be possible to achieve closure by some means, but the means are complicated.

[0009] Fourth, the pressure relief device of the prior art lacks a means of rapid maintenance and replacement.

[0010] 5. It is difficult for the existing pressure relief device to form two switchable pressure relief paths within a limited space. Summary of the Invention

[0011] In order to overcome the above problems, the present invention proposes a solution to solve the above multiple problems at the same time.

[0015] The box is provided with the piston plate, the second spring, the first limiting protrusion, and the second limiting protrusion, an opening is arranged on a peripheral wall of the box, the first limiting protrusion and the second limiting protrusion are located at upper and lower ends of the opening, the piston plate can move up and down between the first limiting protrusion and the second limiting protrusion, and one end of the second spring is connected to the piston plate;

[0016] A first threaded part and a second threaded part are arranged on the outer wall of the box in a vertical direction, a threaded section is arranged on the inner wall of the fixing ring, the first threaded part is engaged with the threaded section in a first state, the opening of the box faces upward, the cover is arranged on the opening of the box, the opening is shielded by the inner wall of the fixing ring, and the upper end of the column abuts against the box; in a second state, the cover is removed, the second threaded part is engaged with the threaded section, the other end of the second spring is placed into the recess, a gap exists between the column and the peripheral wall of the box, and the opening is located above the rotating ring.

[0017] Preferably, the lower end of the cover is provided with the retaining ring.

[0018] Preferably, in the first state, the retaining ring retains the other end of the second spring.

[0019] Further, the first threaded part and the second threaded part are located at upper and lower ends of the opening.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0027] Point 1 of the invention, in response to the first point raised in the background technology, also uses a common spring and a spare spring, but uses a box to protect the spare spring from erosion. Although there is an opening on the box, the opening is closed by a fixing ring under normal circumstances, so the protection effect is relatively good; when the performance of the common spring decreases, the pressure relief valve will open when the value of the pressure gauge on the reheating box is insufficient. At this time, the spare spring can be used to control the opening pressure of the pressure relief valve through the spare spring.

[0030] Point 4 of the invention: In response to the fourth point raised in the background technology, a threaded section is provided on the lower section of the inner surface of the fixing ring, and a threaded portion is provided at each of the upper and lower ends of the box. The two threaded portions can be threadedly connected to the threaded section, so that the box can be connected to the fixing ring whether the box opening is facing upward or downward. When the box opening is facing upward, the opening is provided with a cover, which is sealed with a spring. When the box opening is facing downward, the spring extends into a groove prepared below to achieve fixation.

[0031] Invention point 5: In response to the fifth point raised in the background technology, a piston plate and upper and lower limit protrusions are provided in the box. The first passage of the vertical section is provided by the fixed ring and the rotating ring, and the second passage is provided by the gap between the fixed column and the fixed ring and the opening on the peripheral wall of the box.
