This patent is intended to provide a drain valve mechanism to simply and conveniently control the flow of fluid and facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the valve core.
[0004] Although the above-mentioned prior art can be applied to fuel tanks, in actual use, on the one hand, excessive delivery pressure will cause the gas phase tube to fall off, causing fuel leakage; on the other hand, when the internal pressure of the fuel tank is too low, negative pressure problems are prone to occur. Therefore, it does not meet the existing needs. In this regard, we propose a normal pressure liquid fuel tank valve. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide a normal pressure liquid fuel tank valve to solve the problems of leakage when the pipeline is easily detached and negative pressure generated in the tank body during use proposed in the above background technology.

[0012] Preferably, the diameter of the second through hole is larger than that of the first through hole.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0014] 1. The utility model is suitable for the opening and closing device of fuel liquid, and can work stably under high pressure and high temperature difference. By turning the hand wheel counterclockwise, the hexagonal flange nut is driven to rotate. Under the friction between its internal thread and the thread on the upper end of the valve stem, the rotational motion is converted into linear motion, thereby driving the first valve assembly to rise, realizing the connection between the liquid phase port and the gas phase port, thereby transporting the fuel liquid. The pressure maintaining performance of the mechanism is stable, and the sealing and anti-deformation performance can be guaranteed.
[0015] 2. The utility model provides a self-closing mechanism in the liquid phase port. When the valve is in the open state, the cone is impacted by the pressure of the tank body. As the pressure continues to increase, the movable component is displaced by the cone. At this time, the fuel can pass through the first through hole inside the movable component from the second through hole, and then enter the valve body, and then enter the pipeline from the gas phase port at one end of the valve body to realize the transportation of the fuel. When the valve is closed or the tank pressure is reduced, the pressure on the cone is relatively small. At this time, under the action of the second spring, the movable component moves toward the fixed component, and the cone enters the inside of the second through hole again, forming a seal on the second through hole, realizing the self-closing function. This structure can prevent the tank from generating negative pressure during use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The valve assembly usually includes one or more valves, which are opened or closed under specific conditions to control the flow of fuel. When the pressure or liquid level in the fuel tank reaches a preset value, the valve in the valve assembly will open or close according to the changes in these conditions, thereby regulating the inflow and outflow of fuel. The main function of the pressure relief spring is to push the valve to open through its elastic effect when the pressure inside the valve body is too high, thereby releasing excessive pressure. The pressure regulating plug is used to adjust the pressure inside the valve body. By rotating the plug, the size or position of the channel inside it can be changed, thereby controlling the flow rate of the fuel.
[0024] When in use, the hand wheel 2 is turned counterclockwise to drive the hexagonal flange nut 3 to rotate. Under the friction between its internal thread and the thread on the upper end of the valve stem 7, the rotational motion is converted into linear motion, thereby driving the first valve assembly 8 to rise, realizing the connection between the liquid phase port 11 and the gas phase port 15, thereby delivering the fuel liquid.
[0025] See also Figure 1 A first spring 4 is installed between the bottom of the hexagonal flange nut 3 and the upper end of the valve stem 7, and the elastic support can ensure the tightening effect of the hexagonal flange nut 3 on the valve stem 7 after the adjustment of the threads.
[0026] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5The self-closing mechanism includes a movable component 12, and the movable component 12 and the liquid phase port 11 are slidably limited. The outer ring inside the movable component 12 is provided with four to six first through holes 17 distributed in an annular shape. A conical member 13 is provided at the middle position of one side of the movable component 12, and the conical member 13 and the movable component 12 are integrally formed. A fixed component 14 is provided on one side of the conical member 13, and the fixed component 14 is fixed to the liquid phase port 11. A second through hole 18 is provided at the middle position of the fixed component 14. A second spring 16 is installed on the outside of the conical member 13, and the two ends of the second spring 16 are respectively fixed to the movable component 12 and the fixed component 14, so as to realize the self-closing function. This structure can prevent the tank from generating negative pressure during use.
[0027] See also Figure 1 A gasket 5 is provided between the bottom of the hand wheel 2 and the pressure cap 6 to ensure the tightness of the contact between the hand wheel 2, the valve body 1 and the pressure cap 6 to prevent leakage of the medium.
[0028] See also Figure 1 A sealing gasket 9 is provided at the bottom of the pressure cap 6, and the sealing gasket 9 is in contact with the valve body 1 and the valve stem 7 respectively, thereby improving the sealing performance between them.
[0029] See also Figure 1 An O-ring 10 is provided at the middle position inside the pressure cap 6, and the inner wall of the O-ring 10 is in contact with the valve stem 7, which further improves the sealing performance and prevents medium leakage.
[0030] See also Figure 5 , the diameter of the second through hole 18 is greater than that of the first through hole 17 .
[0031] Working principle: When in use, the cone 13 is impacted by the pressure of the tank when the valve is open. As the pressure continues to increase, the movable component 12 is displaced by the cone 13. At this time, the fuel can pass through the first through hole 17 inside the movable component 12 from the second through hole 18, and then enter the valve body 1, and then enter the pipeline from the gas phase port 15 at one end of the valve body 1 to realize the fuel transportation. When the valve is closed or the tank pressure is reduced, the pressure on the cone 13 is relatively small. At this time, under the action of the second spring 16, the movable component 12 moves toward the fixed component 14, allowing the cone 13 to enter the second through hole 18 again, forming a seal on the second through hole 18, realizing the self-closing function. This structure can prevent the tank from generating negative pressure during use.

Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention.
