[0001] The utility model provides an integral built-in electric-controlled drain valve, which relates to the technical field of automobile manufacturing. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of modern science and technology, some vehicles use air brakes for auxiliary braking, which requires an air cylinder to store the air brake gas. When the compressed air is delivered to the air cylinder by the air pump, it will still contain a small amount of moisture even after passing through the dryer. If too much moisture remains for a long time, it will cause rust inside the air cylinder and impurities to appear, affecting the service life of the air cylinder, and the air storage capacity of the air cylinder will also decrease. Therefore, a drain valve is generally installed at the bottom of the air cylinder, and drainage can be performed regularly through the drain valve.
[0003] There are many problems with the electric drain valve technology currently used in the market: 1. The product is complex inside, has many sealing points, and is complex to process and assemble. 2.

The height of the exposed air reservoir is high, which can easily cause the product to be bumped, damaged, or leaked, resulting in the vehicle being unable to operate and potentially dangerous.
