[0025] Embodiment 1:

[0026] In this embodiment, the water-proof automatic exhaust valve, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a valve body 1, a float opening and closing device and a water filtering device 2. Specifically, the interior of the valve body 1 is divided into an exhaust chamber 3 and an aeration chamber 4 by a partition. The partition is provided with a slit groove 5 for connecting the exhaust chamber 3 and the aeration chamber 4. The top of the exhaust chamber 3 is provided with a valve cover 6. The valve cover 6 is provided with an exhaust device. The float opening and closing device is arranged in the exhaust chamber 3 to float up to close the exhaust device or sink to open the exhaust device. The bottom of the aeration chamber 4 is provided with a water inlet 7. The water filtering device 2 is arranged in the aeration chamber 4.

[0027] With this structure, water vapor first enters the aeration chamber 4 through the water inlet 7, and is filtered by the water filter 2 in the aeration chamber 4 to remove impurities and fully separate water and bubbles, so that the separated water and gas enter the exhaust chamber 3 through the slit groove 5. Water sinks in the lower part of the exhaust chamber 3 and can make the float opening and closing device float, and the gas floats on the upper part of the exhaust chamber 3 to be discharged through the exhaust device. The exhaust is smoother and does not contain water. When there is excessive water, the float opening and closing device further floats to close the exhaust device to prevent water spraying.

[0028] In this embodiment, the water filtering device 2 includes a thorny bubble filter and a fiber cloth. The thorny bubble filter is used to puncture bubbles to separate the gas in the bubbles from the water body, and the fiber cloth is used to filter impurities in the water. Specifically, the thorny bubble filter is cylindrically arranged in the aeration chamber 4, and the fiber cloth is filled in the thorny bubble filter. The bubble-carrying water entering the aeration chamber 4 first passes through the thorny bubble filter to rupture the bubbles and separate the gas and liquid, and then passes through the fiber cloth and enters the exhaust chamber 3 through the slit groove 5, while the impurities in the water are blocked by the fiber cloth.

[0029] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned slit groove 5 is vertically arranged, and the bottom end of the above-mentioned slit groove 5 is flush with the bottom wall of the above-mentioned exhaust chamber 3, thereby ensuring that the liquid level in the above-mentioned exhaust chamber 3 is the same as the liquid level in the above-mentioned aeration chamber 4, so that the process of water flowing from the above-mentioned aeration chamber 4 to the above-mentioned exhaust chamber 3 is smooth, and no new bubbles are generated.

[0030] As a specific implementation of this embodiment, the above-mentioned floating ball opening and closing device includes a buoyancy ball 8 and a counterweight block 9. The bottom of the above-mentioned buoyancy ball 8 is integrally formed with a column 10, and the above-mentioned counterweight block 9 is provided with a through hole 12. The above-mentioned column 10 is fixedly inserted in the above-mentioned through hole 12 and extends from the bottom. The end of the above-mentioned column 10 extending out of the through hole 12 is provided with a transverse hole, and a positioning pin 21 is inserted in the above-mentioned transverse hole. The two ends of the above-mentioned positioning pin 21 extend transversely outside the above-mentioned transverse hole. The above-mentioned positioning pin 21 is used to prevent the above-mentioned counterweight block 9 from completely detaching from the above The column is provided so that the counterweight 9 can sink with the buoyancy ball 8. When in use, the buoyancy ball 8 floats on the liquid surface and can float up or sink with the counterweight 9. The column 10 extended from the lower part limits the lowest position of the buoyancy ball 8. When the internal pressure of the system where the exhaust valve is located is too high, the buoyancy ball 8 always blocks the exhaust device and causes the problem of high-pressure gas resistance, the counterweight 9 can rely on its own gravity to sink the buoyancy ball 8, thereby eliminating the high-pressure gas resistance phenomenon and ensuring that the system can be exhausted normally under high-pressure state.

[0031] In the present embodiment, the counterweight block 9 is a cylindrical block, and the top surface of the counterweight block 9 is provided with an inner concave surface 11 which is concentric with the outer circular wall of the counterweight block 9, and the through hole 12 is an eccentric hole, that is, the through hole 12 is not concentric with the inner concave surface 11, so that the pulling force applied by the counterweight block 9 to the buoyancy ball 8 in each direction is different. When the exhaust device is closed by the buoyancy ball 8 and the liquid level in the exhaust chamber 3 drops, and the system needs to be re-exhausted, as the liquid level drops, the buoyancy of the buoyancy ball 8 begins to decrease, and the pulling force applied by the counterweight block 9 to the buoyancy ball 8 increases. The pulling force applied by the counterweight block 9 to the buoyancy ball 8 in each direction is unbalanced, which can help the buoyancy ball 8 to more easily detach from the exhaust device, thereby opening the valve to deflate.

[0032] In this embodiment, the exhaust device is a plug 13, the valve cover 6 is provided with a mounting hole vertically aligned with the through hole 12, the plug 13 is installed in the mounting hole, the bottom surface of the plug 13 is provided with a circular arc surface 14 adapted to the buoyancy ball 8, the plug 13 is provided with an exhaust hole 15, and the exhaust hole 15 passes through the top surface and the circular arc surface 14 of the plug 13 from top to bottom. The buoyancy ball 8 rises with the liquid level until it is pressed against the circular arc surface 14, thereby blocking the exhaust hole 15, and the valve is closed at this time.

[0033] Furthermore, the arc surface 14 of the plug 13 is evenly provided with three protrusions 16 along the circumferential direction, and the bottom surfaces of the three protrusions 16 are matched with the buoyancy ball 8. The position of one of the protrusions 16 coincides with the exhaust hole 15, and the exhaust hole 15 passes through the protrusion 16. The protrusion 16 prevents the buoyancy ball 8 from contacting the arc surface 14. The buoyancy ball 8 is tightly pressed against the arc surface 14, resulting in a large contact area, and the capillary force generated by the water between the contact surfaces is also greater, so that it is easy to As a result, the buoyancy ball 8 is not easy to separate from the arc surface 14, and the three protrusions 16 are pressed against the buoyancy ball 8, which greatly reduces the capillary force of the contact surface, thereby making it easier for the buoyancy ball 8 to separate from the plug 13, thereby opening the valve to release air. At the same time, the exhaust hole 15 passes through one of the protrusions 16, so that the exhaust hole 15 is also eccentrically arranged. The eccentric exhaust hole 15 makes the counterweight block 9 fall and produce an unbalanced lever force, thereby making it easier to pull open the buoyancy ball 8.

[0034] In this embodiment, the plug 13 includes an integrally formed connection portion 17 and a sealing portion 18. The connection portion 17 is provided with an external thread, and the mounting hole is provided with an internal thread. The connection portion 17 is detachably screwed in the mounting hole. An annular step surface 19 is formed between the sealing portion 18 and the connection portion 17. The annular step surface 19 presses against the valve cover 6. A sealing ring 20 is provided between the annular step surface 19 and the valve cover 6. The arc surface 14 is provided at the bottom of the sealing portion 18. At the same time, the valve cover 6 is detachably fixed to the top of the exhaust chamber 3 by the connection of internal and external threads. A sealing ring 20 is provided between the valve cover 6 and the exhaust chamber 3, thereby improving the sealing performance and ensuring that the gas can only be discharged through the exhaust hole 15.

[0035] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
