The inside of the air passage 2 is connected to the top of the tail valve body 1 through the air passage 3 and the thermal relief port 4. A fixing groove 5 is opened inside the tail valve body 1, and a pressure relief component 6 is fixedly installed inside the fixing groove 5. A first sealing component 7 is arranged at the outer bottom end of the tail valve body 1. The first sealing component 7 includes a thread 71 arranged on the outer surface of the tail valve body 1 and a sealing ring 72 fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the tail valve body 1.

[0027] The pressure relief component 6 includes a locking nut 61 fixedly installed inside the fixing groove 5 by threads. A first sealing ring 62 is fixedly installed inside the tail valve body 1. The inner wall of the first sealing ring 62 is hermetically attached to the outer surface of the locking nut 61. The locking nut 61 is hermetically connected to the inside of the fixing groove 5 through the first sealing ring 62. A TPRD glass bulb 63 is placed inside the locking nut 61. One end of the TPRD glass bulb 63 away from the locking nut 61 is sleeved with a valve core 64. An installation groove 65 is opened on the outer surface of the valve core 64, and a cushion ring 66 is fixedly sleeved inside the installation groove 65. A spring 67 is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the valve core 64. Under normal conditions, due to the elasticity of the spring 67, both ends of the TPRD glass bulb 63 are respectively abutted against the inner walls of the locking nut 61 and the valve core 64. One end of the valve core 64 away from the locking nut 61 is integrally connected with a valve core tail rod 68. The outer surface of the valve core tail rod 68 is inserted into the inside of the air passage 2. One end of the valve core tail rod 68 away from the valve core 64 is fixedly connected with a gasket 69. The end of the valve core tail rod 68 is fixedly connected with a third sealing ring 610. The gasket 69 is hermetically slidably connected to the inside of the air passage 2 through the third sealing ring 610. By setting the pressure relief component 6, when an accident such as a fire occurs during the driving of a hydrogen energy vehicle, the hydrogen inside the bottle can be quickly released after the TPRD glass bulb 63 is heated and broken, which can better ensure safety in case of an accident. Since the thermal relief port 4 is located at the center of the tail valve body 1, when the tail valve is screwed to any angle when connected to the hydrogen storage pipeline, it does not affect the installation of the hydrogen storage pipeline, which enhances the adaptability.
[0028] Embodiment 2
[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 、 2 and Figure 5, the utility model provides a technical solution: a hydrogen storage bottle tail valve for a hydrogen energy vehicle, including a tail valve body 1. The top of the tail valve body 1 is hexagonal, the outer diameter of the bottom of the tail valve body 1 is smaller than the diagonal length of the top, an air passage 1 2 is opened at the inner bottom end of the tail valve body 1, an air passage 2 3 is opened inside the tail valve body 1, and the inside of the air passage 2 3 is communicated with the bottom of the tail valve body 1 through the air passage 1 2. An air passage 3 4 is opened at the center inside the tail valve body 1, a thermal relief port 5 is opened at the center of the top of the air passage 3 4, and the inside of the air passage 2 3 is communicated with the top of the tail valve body 1 through the air passage 3 4 and the thermal relief port 5. A fixing groove 6 is opened inside the tail valve body 1, a pressure relief component 7 is fixedly installed inside the fixing groove 6, and a second sealing component 9 is arranged at the outer bottom end of the tail valve body 1. The second sealing component 9 includes an external thread 91 opened on the outer surface of the tail valve body 1, and a first retaining ring 92, a second retaining ring 93 and a fourth sealing ring 94 sleeved on the outer surface of the tail valve body 1. By setting the second sealing component 9, the tail valve body 1 can be installed and connected with a hydrogen storage bottle with a pressure of 70 MPa, which can improve its firmness and sealing performance.
[0030] When installing the tail valve body 1, the tail valve body 1 is hermetically connected with the hydrogen storage bottle by means of threaded connection. When in use, when an accident such as a fire occurs during the driving of a hydrogen energy vehicle, high temperature will be generated. After the temperature reaches a certain level, the TPRD glass bulb 73 is heated and broken, so that the valve core 74 loses support, and through the elasticity of the spring 77, it quickly slides in the direction close to the lock nut 71. At the same time, the spring 77 slides through the valve core tail rod 78, the gasket 79 and the third sealing ring 710. At this time, the air passages 1 2, 2 3 and 3 4 are in a connected state inside, and the hydrogen in the bottle can be quickly discharged. By setting the first sealing component 8 and the second sealing component 9, the tail valve body 1 can be used for the sealing connection of hydrogen storage bottles with two pressures of 35 MPa and 70 MPa, which enhances the adaptability and diversity, and can better ensure safety in case of an accident. Since the air passage 3 4 is located at the center of the tail valve body 1, when connecting with the hydrogen storage pipeline, no matter what angle the tail valve is screwed to, it will not affect the installation of the hydrogen storage pipeline, which enhances the adaptability.
[0031] At the same time, the content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the well-known prior art in the art.
