Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing devices, in particular to an air pressure warning valve, and also discloses a bubble water machine. Background Art

[0002] Some current household appliances require the use of steam or high-pressure gas, such as pressure cookers, steam irons, coffee machines, and sparkling water machines. These devices are usually also equipped with pressure relief valves to ensure the safety of the equipment during use, such as the pressure relief cover on the pressure relief nozzle of a pressure cooker. When the pressure inside the device is greater than the set pressure, the pressure will be transmitted to the pressure relief valve through the pressure relief channel. The pressure relief valve will automatically open the pressure relief channel to relieve the pressure, so that the pressure inside the device is within a safe range. The airflow will produce sound during the pressure relief process of the pressure relief valve, but the sound of the airflow is not stable, especially near the critical point, the weak sound of the airflow cannot serve as a warning. For this reason, some devices are also equipped with electronic alarms to remind users, but on products such as sparkling water machines that do not contain circuits, electronic alarms are difficult to use in a compatible manner.

[0003] Chinese patent CN210566478U discloses a safety valve with a safety warning, including a valve body, a valve cover and an ejector pin. The valve body is inserted into the valve cover from the bottom end of the valve cover upwards. The valve body is hollow. The bottom end of the ejector pin is arranged in the valve body and the top end extends upwards out of the valve body. The ejector pin can move up and down relative to the valve body. A through hole is provided at the top end of the valve cover. The positions of the ejector pin and the through hole correspond. A warning mark used as a safety warning is provided at the top end of the ejector pin. By providing a warning mark at the top end of the ejector pin, when there is steam in the machine, it can be displayed to the user through the through hole provided on the valve cover, thereby playing the role of a safety warning. The existing safety warning method requires the operator to observe in order to play a warning role, and the operator is still prone to negligence, resulting in safety risks. In addition, the overall structure is complicated, which is not conducive to promotion and application.

[0004] Therefore, the prior art still needs to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content

The warning device emits a warning sound using the airflow discharged from the pressure relief valve, and the sound-generating structure can respond immediately during the pressure relief process to remind the user of the working status of the device, and does not require power supply, has a wide range of applications, and is highly safe.

[0008] According to the above scheme, the sound-generating structure includes a whistle cavity and a guide slope, an exhaust channel is arranged on the first end of the alarm, the whistle cavity is arranged on the second end of the alarm, and an air inlet is arranged between the exhaust channel and the whistle cavity; an opening is arranged on the side wall of the whistle cavity, and the side wall of the whistle cavity at the opening forms a guide slope, and the acute angle end of the guide slope faces the air inlet. The first end of the alarm is opened, and the alarm is connected to the pressure relief valve through the port of the first end.

These airflows are divided at the guide slope, and some airflows enter the whistle cavity to generate a circulation and then are discharged from the opening, and some airflows are directly discharged from the opening. The two parts of airflow form a turbulent flow at the opening to generate a whistle sound, thereby emitting a continuous warning sound to remind the user. The overall structure is simple and the processing is relatively convenient.

[0009] According to the above scheme, the acute-angled end of the guide slope is located on the central axis of the air inlet, and the preferred acute-angled end is used to divide the airflow passing through the air inlet, so that part of the airflow enters the whistle cavity.
