Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ball valves, in particular to a ball valve with a bidirectional pressure relief function. Background Art
[0002] Currently, ball valves in aircraft fuel systems, as components that enable fuel flow through pipelines, have a relatively simple function. Temperature fluctuations in aircraft fuel system pipelines often necessitate the installation of thermal pressure relief devices to prevent excessive pressure from building up within the enclosed fuel pipeline space when the valve is closed. In system architectures, some pipelines on both the inlet and outlet sides of ball valves require pressure relief.
[0003] Traditional thermal pressure relief equipment lacks filtering devices. The direct passage of fuel will affect the safety of subsequent fuel, and the entry of impurities will cause blockage of internal channels, affecting safety of use.
[0004] Secondly, installing multiple thermal pressure relief devices on the pipeline will increase the types and number of system equipment, and will also make the system architecture more complex, which urgently needs to be developed. Utility Model Content

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0017] (1) This type of ball valve with a two-way pressure relief function filters particulate impurities in the fuel passing in and out by setting a filter element, avoiding the accumulation of impurities in the valve body channel causing subsequent blockage and affecting the safety of equipment use. The movable block moves in the built-in block and cooperates with the guiding function of the guide block sliding along the guide groove to adjust the plug-in state of the fixed plug rod and the fixed slot, making it convenient to disassemble and assemble the positioning base and the filter element as a whole, so as to facilitate subsequent cleaning and replacement work;
[0018] (2) This type of ball valve with a two-way pressure relief function is provided with an inlet pressure relief check valve and an outlet pressure relief check valve on the valve body.

This effectively reduces the types and number of devices in the system, reduces the complexity of the system architecture, and is simple to operate and easy to use.
[0019] (3) This type of ball valve with a two-way pressure relief function has a first gasket ring between the contact surfaces of the valve stem and the valve cover, and a second gasket ring between the contact surfaces of the valve stem and the valve body.
