Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vent valves, in particular to a vent valve for an air compressor. Background Art

[0002] An air valve is a device used to release gas or liquid to relieve overpressure in a system. This type of valve is usually designed to be manual or automatic. Its main function is to open or release the valve to allow gas or liquid in the system to flow out freely, thereby reducing the system pressure.

[0003] During the use of the air compressor, in order to release excess gas to avoid damage to the system due to overpressure and to prevent equipment failure, a vent valve is generally installed in the air compressor to discharge excess gas. At present, most air compressor valves use O-rings to form a seal with a certain interference fit and a low core. However, the rubber O-ring is prone to aging, which can easily lead to seal failure, resulting in leakage of the vent valve. A large amount of leakage of the vent valve will seriously affect the production efficiency of the two air separation equipment, increase operating costs, and has poor practicality. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a vent valve for an air compressor is proposed. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] See also Figure 1-5, a vent valve for an air compressor, comprising a valve body 1, a flow groove 2 is provided inside the valve body 1, an anti-wear mechanism and a flow regulating mechanism are provided inside the flow groove 2, the anti-wear mechanism comprises a valve seat 3, a hard alloy part 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the valve seat 3, a fixing column 5 is fixedly connected to the inside of the valve seat 3, one end of the fixing column 5 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 6, a sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 6, a spring 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 6, a limiting block 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting block 9, a valve core 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the valve core 10 with a first universal seal ring 11, the limiting block 9 is provided inside the sleeve 7, the limiting block 9 is slidably connected to the sleeve 7, a card block 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sleeve 7, and the valve core 10 is slidably connected to the hard alloy part 4 Next, a first Variseal seal 11 is sleeved on the exterior of the valve core 10, so that when the valve core 10 slides into the interior of the hard alloy member 4, venting can be stopped. The provision of the first Variseal seal 11 provides better sealing performance and better wear resistance than an O-ring, thereby extending the service life and preventing leakage of the vent valve. Venting and stopping venting are performed by sliding friction between the valve core 10 and the hard alloy member 4, which can extend the service life of the valve seat 3. By disposing the valve core 10 inside the valve seat 3 and connecting it to the valve seat 3, disassembly and assembly of the valve seat 3, the valve core 10, and the first Variseal seal 11 are more convenient, and replacement of a component due to severe wear can be accelerated.

[0022] In one aspect of this embodiment, the fixing block 14 is inserted into the fixing groove 13 and fixed to the fixing groove 13 by screws, thereby fixing the valve seat 3 to the interior of the valve body 1. In addition, a second Variseal seal 15 is provided on the outside of the valve seat 3 to improve the sealing effect of the connection between the valve seat 3 and the valve body 1, thereby preventing gas from leaking from the connection between the valve seat 3 and the valve body 1. By providing the air inlet connector 16, the air compressor can be flange-connected to the air inlet connector 16, so that excess gas from the air compressor can be discharged through the vent valve.

[0023] In one aspect of this embodiment, the setting cylinder 17 is inserted deeply into the interior of the valve body 1, so that the connecting ring 18 is stuck on the lower side of the valve body 1. The provision of the third universal seal ring 20 can improve the sealing performance of the connection between the setting cylinder 17 and the valve body 1, thereby preventing gas leakage from the connection between the setting cylinder 17 and the valve body 1. After the setting cylinder 17 is fixed, the limiting rod 19 can be screwed into the interior of the valve body 1, so that one end of the limiting rod 19 is disposed in the flow groove 2, thereby blocking the flow groove 2. When it is necessary to adjust the flow rate of gas in the flow groove 2, it is only necessary to twist the lower end of the limiting rod 19 to change the volume of the limiting rod 19 in the flow groove 2 to control and change the flow rate of gas.

[0024] The working principle of the present utility model: when the vent valve for the air compressor is in use, it is installed together with the air compressor through the setting of the air inlet connecting piece 16. When venting is required, the solenoid valve is closed, and then the limit rod 19 is twisted to allow the gas to flow into the circulation groove 2. The setting of the fixed connection between the spring 8 and the limit block 9 and the fixed connection between the limit block 9 and the valve core 10 makes the valve core 10 elastic, and the pressure of the gas can push the valve core 10 out of the carbide part 4, so that the gas flows out from the valve seat 3. When the venting stops, the solenoid valve is opened, and then the limit rod 19 is twisted in the opposite direction to close the circulation groove 2. Thereafter, the limit block 9 is limited by the setting of the sleeve 7 and the limit block 9 is fixed by the spring 8, so that the elastic force of the spring 8 acts on the valve core 10 through the limit block 9, so that the valve core 10 is reset and re-stuck in the carbide part 4. All electrical equipment in this scheme are powered by an external power supply.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely 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 will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
