Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of generators, in particular to an anti-vacuum valve for an oil tank of a generator set. Background Art
[0002] There is usually only a vent in the fuel tank of the generator. The vent is used to discharge the oil and gas generated by the evaporation of gasoline in the fuel tank into the air filter when the fuel tank pressure is greater than the external air pressure, so as to avoid excessive pressure when there is too much oil in the tank; when the fuel tank pressure is lower than the external air pressure, the outside air is introduced into the fuel tank to avoid negative pressure after the oil in the tank is pumped out, and to avoid the fuel tank being crushed due to negative pressure.
[0003] The air vent in the prior art is relatively simple. In order to prevent the fuel tank from being flattened, the cross-sectional area of the air vent is usually large, which causes the oil and gas in the fuel tank to be discharged out of the fuel tank too quickly. The excessive discharge of oil and gas can easily cause a large loss of gasoline in the fuel tank, which is not conducive to energy saving and cost reduction, and can easily produce a vacuum, resulting in the gasoline in the fuel tank being unable to flow, causing the engine to be cut off from fuel.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the pressure plate flange is smaller than the inner diameter of the guide cavity.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer ring of the pressure plate flange is provided with a toothed flange.
[0009] Furthermore, the central air duct extends to both sides of the pressure plate flange, and an annular recess for fixing the sealing ring is provided on the central air duct on one side.
[0010] Furthermore, a first groove is provided on the other side of the pressure plate flange for accommodating the end of one side of the spring.
[0011] Furthermore, a second groove is provided on the inner side of the connecting sleeve for accommodating the end of the other side of the spring.

[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] The utility model arranges an external vent valve body, a sealing ring, a movable pressure plate, a spring and an internal vent valve body. When exhausting, the smaller central air guide pipe in the movable pressure plate is used to output the oil and gas in the oil tank to avoid being discharged out of the oil tank too quickly. When the oil tank pressure is lower than the external air pressure, the movable pressure plate can be quickly pushed open to quickly open the cross-sectional area of the air inlet and avoid the vacuum negative pressure phenomenon in the oil tank, which is beneficial to protecting the oil tank of the generator set and preventing the engine from shutting down due to oil shortage.
[0015] The utility model ingeniously utilizes the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the oil tank to control the spring, thereby realizing the movable sealing and opening of the movable pressure plate. The overall structure is ingenious, and the exhaust and intake work of the oil tank is stable and reliable. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
