Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) firefighting technology, and in particular to a high-temperature resistant drainage valve. Background Art

[0002] Traditional fire trucks are limited by the height of their ladders and traffic conditions, making it difficult for them to handle fires in high-rise buildings. While existing drone firefighting technology is flexible, the drain valve under the drone's water tank uses an end-face seal. When the drone flies above the flame, the sealing ring of the drain valve is easily melted by the high temperature of the flame, causing the valve to leak. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-temperature resistant drainage valve in response to the above-mentioned problems existing in the existing technology. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to improve the sealing effect of the valve in a high-temperature environment.

[0004] The objectives of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a high-temperature resistant drainage valve, comprising a valve body, a hinge fixed at one end to one side of the valve body, a rotating device fixed to the other side of the valve body, a valve cover fixed to the other end of the hinge, and a sealing ring arranged on the valve cover, wherein a convex portion is provided at one end of the valve cover, an annular groove is provided on the outer surface of the convex portion, a second concave portion is provided on the convex portion, and the cross-section of the second concave portion is convex-shaped, and the sealing ring is arranged in the annular groove.

[0005] Furthermore, the depth of the second concave portion is not less than the height of the convex portion.

[0006] Furthermore, a first concave portion is provided at one end of the valve body, the first concave portion is conical, the convex portion is conical, and the first concave portion cooperates with the conical surface of the convex portion.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: a conical first recess is provided at one end of the valve body, a conical convex portion is provided at one end of the valve cover, and an annular groove is provided on the convex portion for installing a sealing ring, thereby realizing sealing of the valve cone surface; at the same time, the depth of the second recess is not less than the height of the convex portion, and the cross-section of the second recess is in the shape of a convex letter, so that when the valve is in a high-temperature environment, the water in the second recess can cool the valve cover with the sealing ring installed, thereby preventing the sealing ring from melting at high temperature and improving the sealing effect of the valve.
