[0033] This embodiment mainly describes an adjustable relief valve and a grease gun applicable to a grease gun, which can improve the safety of the grease gun when in use, as follows:

[0034] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an adjustable overflow valve and a grease gun suitable for a grease gun include a grease gun body 01, on which a connecting head 1, an oil filling cylinder 2, an oil filling nozzle 3 and an overflow valve 02 are provided. The oil filling cylinder 2, the oil filling nozzle 3 and the overflow valve 02 can all be detachably installed on the connecting head 1, and the oil filling cylinder 2, the oil filling nozzle 3 and the connecting head 1 are internally interconnected. Preferably, the oil filling cylinder 2, the oil filling nozzle 3 and the overflow valve 02 can be detachably connected on the connecting head 1 through a threaded structure.

[0035] In this embodiment, the overflow valve 02 includes an oil guide part 10, a valve seat 4, a ball 8, a valve core 5, a pressure regulating part 6, a spring 7 and a protective cover 9. The oil guide part 10 is threadedly connected to one end of the valve seat 4, and the pressure regulating part 6 is threadedly connected to the other end of the valve seat 4. A sliding cavity 4a is provided in the valve seat 4. The ball 8, the valve core 5 and the spring 7 are arranged in the sliding cavity 4a. The valve core 5 is inserted into the pressure regulating part 6. The spring 7 is arranged between the valve core 5 and the pressure regulating part 6. The spring 7 elastically acts on the ball 8 to fit the oil guide part 10. The protective cover 9 is detachably buckled on the valve seat 4. The overflow valve 02 is threadedly connected to the connector 1 through the valve seat 4.

[0036] In other embodiments, the pressure regulating member 6 is provided with several rows of continuous limiting grooves 4b, the continuous limiting grooves 4b are in a wavy structure, and the valve seat 4 is provided with a limiting protrusion, which can cooperate with the limiting grooves 4b to limit the movement of the pressure regulating member 6 on the valve seat 4.

[0037] The oil guide member 10 is provided with an oil inlet 12 extending therethrough, and the valve seat 4 is provided with an oil outlet 13. The oil inlet 12 and the oil outlet 13 are connected to the sliding chamber 4a, but the ball 8 blocks the oil inlet 12 under the action of the spring 7. The oil guide member 10 is arranged so that it is easy to replace when the oil inlet 12 is blocked. Since both ends of the oil guide member 10 with the oil inlet 12 extending therethrough are hidden in the connector 1 and the valve seat 4, and are rarely exposed to the air, the blockage of the oil guide member 10 can be ignored. Therefore, in other embodiments, the oil inlet 12 can be as shown in FIG. Figure 5 or Figure 6 It is shown arranged directly on the valve seat 4 .

[0038] Preferably, the oil outlet 13 may be provided through the pressure regulating member 6 .

The guide hole 6a guides the sliding direction of the valve core 5 in the sliding chamber 4a. The spring 7 is sleeved on the insertion section 5b, and the spring 7 is located between the stop end 5a and the pressure regulating member 6. By adjusting the pressure regulating member 6, the distance between the pressure regulating member 6 and the oil guide member 10 can be adjusted, that is, the elastic force of the spring 7 acting on the ball 8 through the valve core 5 can be adjusted.

[0042] In this embodiment, a V-shaped groove 5d is provided on the valve core 5, and the ball 8 is arranged in the V-shaped groove 5d. The V-shaped groove 5d and the guide rod 5c are arranged at both ends of the valve core 5. The ball 8 can be arranged independently.
