The bimetallic strip 14 deforms according to its own temperature. When the bimetallic strip 14 is at a low temperature, the free end of the bimetallic strip 14 is located close to the valve seat 3 and slightly away from the valve seat 3. The free end of the bimetallic strip 14 separates the float 5 from the valve seat 3 at this position. When the bimetallic strip 14 is at a high temperature, the free end of the bimetallic strip 14 is close to the valve seat 3. The free end of the bimetallic strip 14 at this position will not prevent the float 5 from sitting on the valve seat 3;

[0048] Further, the base 60 of the bracket 6 is generally fan-shaped and is bent to be recessed toward the bottom wall 9. Specifically, the base 60 includes two arms 18 extending from the second valve body 101 and a plate 19 connecting the two arms 18 to each other, the float 5 seat is arranged at the end of the arm 18, the two arms 18, i.e., the two float 5 seats, are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction around the axis of the valve hole 4, each arm 18 extends from the second valve body 101 into the valve chamber 2, i.e., each arm 18 is connected to the second valve body 101 at one end in the extending direction thereof, and the other end of each arm 18 in the extending direction is a free end on the inner side of the valve chamber 2, each arm 18 is bent to be recessed toward the bottom wall 9, each arm 18 is thicker than the plate 19, the float 5 seat is arranged on the surface of the front end of the arm 18 opposite to the float 5, and the arm 18 and the plate 19 are bent so as not to contact the float 5 located on the valve seat 3 and the two float 5 seats.

[0049] In this embodiment, steam and water in the steam pipeline flow into the steam valve. At this time, the bimetallic strip 14 is in a low-temperature state, and the free end of the bimetallic strip 14 is away from the valve seat 3. The bimetallic strip 14 prevents the float 5 from sitting on the valve seat 3. The valve hole 4 is forced to open at this time. In this state, when air or low-temperature drainage in the pipeline flows into the valve chamber 2, the initial air or low-temperature drainage flows out of the valve chamber 2 and the outflow channel 16 through the valve hole 4. In this way, the initial air or low-temperature drainage flowing into the valve body 1 is quickly discharged from the valve body 1. The fluid such as the initial air or low-temperature drainage flowing out of the inlet 15 first passes through the filter screen 13. At this time, the fluid passing through the filter screen The net 13 removes foreign matter from the fluid, and then, steam or high-temperature drainage flows into the valve body 1, and the drainage is stored in the lower part of the valve chamber 2, while the steam is retained in the upper part of the valve chamber 2. When the float 5 is in the open state, the drainage flows out of the valve chamber 2 through the valve hole 4. Thereafter, when the temperature of the bimetallic strip 14 rises, the bimetallic strip 14 is deformed, and the free end of the bimetallic strip 14 moves to a position that does not hinder the float 5 from sitting on the valve seat 3. Therefore, the float 5 can sit on the valve seat 3 and can close the valve hole 4. If the discharge volume in the valve chamber 2 is not large, the float 5 sits on the valve seat 3 and closes the valve hole 4. At this time, the float 5 also sits on the two The float 5 is supported by the valve seat 3 and the two float 5 seats at three points. When the drainage in the valve chamber 2 increases, the float 5 floats due to the drainage. Therefore, the float 5 rises and is released from the valve seat 3, thereby opening the valve hole 4. The drainage flows out of the valve chamber 2 through the valve hole 4 to the outflow channel 16. The drainage flowing out of the valve hole 4 passes through the outflow channel 16 and flows out of the valve body 1 through the outlet 17. At this time, since the steam in the valve chamber 2 remains in the space above the valve chamber 2, the steam will not flow out of the valve body 1 through the valve hole 4. When the drainage in the valve chamber 2 decreases, the float 5 drops as the drainage decreases and sits on the valve seat. 3 and closes the valve hole 4, thereby, the outflow of drainage from the valve body 1 stops. At this time, the float 5 also sits on the float 5 seat and the valve seat 3. When the valve hole 4 is closed, the float 5 is supported at three points by the valve seat 3 and the two float 5 seats. In this state, even when steam flows into the valve chamber 2, since the valve hole 4 is immersed in the drainage and the valve hole 4 is closed by the float 5, the steam will not flow out of the valve body 1 through the valve hole 4. When the drainage in the valve chamber 2 increases, the float 5 rises again due to the drainage, and the float 5 is released from the valve seat 3 and the valve hole 4 is opened. Compared with the prior art, the utility model effectively improves the working stability of the steam valve.

[0052] In this embodiment, the sealing strip 11 can ensure the sealing between the first valve body 100 and the second valve body 101. At the same time, the air-filled cavity 12 on the sealing strip 11 is connected to the first valve body 100 and the second valve body 101. The air-filled cavity 12 is squeezed and deformed and tightly abuts against the contact surface of the first valve body 100 and the second valve body 101, thereby improving the sealing effect between the first valve body 100 and the second valve body 101, thereby effectively improving the sealing performance of the valve body 1.
