Secondly, the traditional single-stage valve core needs to provide huge operating force by actuator to overcome the pressure of medium at the moment of opening, which not only requires high output of actuator, leads to large size and high cost, but also makes it difficult to improve the adjustment accuracy and response speed of valve. In addition, when the valve is opened under high pressure difference, high-speed medium flow will cause severe scouring and impact on internal parts such as valve seat and valve core, which is easy to cause damage to parts, sealing failure and shorten the service life of valve. Therefore, a pilot type atmospheric release valve is proposed. SUMMARY

[0017] Referring to Figures 1-5 A pilot type atmosphere release valve, comprising a valve body 1, a valve seat 2 arranged in the valve body 1, a valve cover 3 connected to the valve body 1, a valve cover pressing plate 4 arranged on the valve body 1 for pressing the valve cover 3 to be tightly arranged on the valve body 1, a bracket 5 connected to the valve cover 3, an actuator 6 connected to the bracket 5, a valve rod 10 having one end connected to the actuator 6 and one end arranged in the valve body 1, and a pilot valve core 7 connected to the valve rod 10; characterized in that it further comprises a self-tight sealing ring 8 arranged between the valve cover 3, the valve body 1 and the valve cover pressing plate 4 and self-adapting to pressure; one side of the lower end of the self-tight sealing ring 8 is provided with an inclined surface 81 arranged in an inclined manner, and the valve cover 3 is provided with an inclined surface 31 matched with the inclined surface 81. The self-tight sealing ring 8 is a graphite ring; The actuator 6 is a pneumatic actuator 6; By additionally arranging the self-tight sealing ring 8 between the valve cover 3, the valve body 1 and the valve cover pressing plate 4, when the valve cover 3 is subjected to upward pressure applied by the medium, the valve cover 3 will apply extrusion force to the self-tight sealing ring 8 through the cooperation of the inclined surface 31 and the inclined surface 81, and the self-tight sealing ring 8 will deform to tightly adhere to the valve cover 3, the valve body 1 and the valve cover pressing plate 4 after being subjected to pressure, and its sealing performance is better after being subjected to pressure. Moreover, the self-tight sealing ring 8 is a graphite ring, and by virtue of the self-lubricating property of the graphite ring, the graphite ring is convenient to disassemble and assemble, and is not prone to jamming. In one embodiment, a metal edge 82 is arranged on the upper and lower sides of the graphite ring to prevent the graphite ring from being broken and loose after being subjected to pressure; By arranging the metal edge 82 on the upper and lower sides of the graphite ring, the metal edge 82 can effectively limit the radial and axial deformation of the graphite material, prevent it from being extruded out, and prevent the graphite ring from being broken and loose after being subjected to pressure, so as to fail to play a sealing role.

The plurality of throttling plates 91 arranged in a stacked manner in the sleeve 9 can reduce the pressure of the medium in front of the valve, avoid damage to the inner cavity of the valve body 1, the valve core, and the valve seat 2 caused by the impact of the medium in front of the valve, and improve the service life of the valve.

[0019] In one embodiment, a bottom pad 92, a spacer pad 93, a packing 94, and an anti-extrusion ring 95 are arranged in sequence from bottom to top between the valve cover 3 and the valve stem 10, and a pressing plate 97 is arranged for pressing and mounting the bottom pad 92, the spacer pad 93, the packing 94, and the anti-extrusion ring 95 between the valve cover 3 and the valve stem 10. The bottom pad 92, the spacer pad 93, and the packing 94 are arranged to enhance the sealing between the valve stem 10 and the valve cover 3, and prevent leakage. The anti-extrusion ring 95 and the pressing plate 97 are arranged, the pressing plate 97 is fixedly mounted on the valve cover 3 by screws, and the bottom pad 92, the spacer pad 93, and the packing 94 are pressed and mounted between the valve stem 10 and the valve cover 3 to prevent the bottom pad 92, the spacer pad 93, and the packing 94 from being affected by the sealing performance due to being pressed out.

Since the operating force required for opening is greatly reduced, the output of the actuator 6 can be more finely used to adjust the position of the main valve core 71, rather than mainly used to overcome the huge static pressure, thereby significantly improving the accuracy, stability, and response speed of the valve control.

[0021] In use, the device gas pressure is guided into the pneumatic actuator 6 to drive the pneumatic actuator 6 to move the valve rod 10 upward, the valve rod 10 drives the pilot valve core 72 to move upward in the process of moving upward, the pilot valve core 72 opens the flow path between the pilot valve core 72 and the main valve core 71 after moving upward, the two cavities of the pilot valve core 7 are communicated, the pressures are counteracted, the main valve core 71 is driven to move upward in the process of the pilot valve core 7 continuously moving upward, the main valve core 71 opens the valve flow path to release the excess medium after moving upward, and the flow path is cut off after the pneumatic actuator 6 drives the pilot valve core 7 to move downward after the pressure returns to normal.

[0022] The protection scope of the present application is not limited to the above embodiments and their transformations. The routine modifications and replacements made by the skilled in the art based on the content of the embodiments all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
