[0025] Reference Figure 1-3, the utility model provides an embodiment: a pressure vessel with overpressure protection, including a container body 1, an inlet pipe 2 is provided on the top of the container body 1, an electric switch valve 3 is provided on the inlet pipe 2, the inlet pipe 2 is the injection position of the container body 1, the electric switch valve 3 can control the opening and closing of the passage of the inlet pipe 2, the top of the container body 1 is fixedly connected to a protective frame 5, a piston chamber 6 is provided in the protective frame 5, a communication port 11 communicating with the container body 1 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the piston chamber 6, and a piston block 7 is nested and slidably connected in the piston chamber 6, a compression spring 8 is connected between the top of the piston chamber 6 and the top of the piston block 7, a contact switch 9 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the piston chamber 6, and a contact head 10 is provided on the top of the piston block 7. When the air pressure in the container body 1 rises, the gas expands through the communication port 1 1 enters the piston chamber 6 and pushes the piston block 7 to move upward. The piston block 7 moves upward to compress the compression spring 8. At the same time, the piston block 7 drives the contact head 10 to move upward and squeeze onto the contact switch 9. In this way, with the whole structure, the electric switch valve 3 can be conveniently closed to stop the air intake work of the container body 1, and avoid the situation where the pressure in the container body 1 is too high. A pressure relief port 12 connected to the piston chamber 6 is provided on the protective frame 5, and a pressure relief tank 13 connected to the pressure relief port 12 is provided on the outside of the protective frame 5. When the pressure in the container body 1 increases too fast, the gas expansion pushes the piston block 7 to move up to a position above the pressure relief port 12, so that the gas is released from the pressure relief port 12 into the pressure relief tank 13, which can release the overload pressure. A fixing box 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the container body 1, and a controller 17 is provided in the fixing box 15.

[0026] A pressure gauge 4 is provided on the top of the container body 1 . The pressure gauge 4 can be used to observe the pressure situation in the container body 1 .

[0027] The pressure relief tank 13 is connected to the pressure relief port 12 on the protection frame 5 via a pipe joint 14 . The provision of the pipe joint 14 enables the pressure relief tank 13 to be stably docked with the protection frame 5 .

[0028] A battery 16 is provided in the fixing box 15, and the electric switch valve 3, the contact switch 9, the controller 17 and the battery 16 are all electrically connected. The setting of the battery 16 can supply power to the electrical structure, so that the entire structure can be stably operated.

[0029] The model of the controller 17 is STM32. The electric switch valve 3, the contact switch 9 and the controller 17 are all electrically connected. The setting of the controller 17 can achieve stable control of the entire structure.

[0030] One side of the outer surface of the fixed box 15 is connected to a sealing door by a hinge. The setting of the sealing door can not only provide a shielding and protective effect for the fixed box 15, but also can be opened conveniently.

[0031] Working principle: When using a pressure vessel with overpressure protection, gas can be added to the container body 1 through the inlet pipe 2. When the air pressure in the container body 1 rises, the gas expands and enters the piston chamber 6 through the connecting port 11, and pushes the piston block 7 upward. The upward movement of the piston block 7 compresses the compression spring 8. At the same time, the piston block 7 drives the contact head 10 to move upward and squeeze it onto the contact switch 9. The contact switch 9 cooperates with the controller 17 to close the electric switch valve 3, which can close the air intake of the container body 1. When the air pressure in the container body 1 increases too quickly, the piston block 7 is pushed to move above the pressure relief port 12, and the expanded gas is released from the pressure relief port 12 to the pressure relief tank 13. After the pressure is released, the compression spring 8 is no longer under pressure, and the piston block 7 is pushed to reset, which can close the pressure relief port 12 and ensure the air pressure balance in the container body 1. The structure can provide a stable overpressure protection effect for the air filling work in the container body 1.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
