Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of safety valves, in particular to a positive and negative pressure dual-purpose thin safety valve for an IBC tank. Background Art

[0002] Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) are excellent liquid packaging containers, widely used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, oil, paint, and food industries. IBCs are safe and environmentally friendly, easy to load and unload mechanically, space-saving for storage and transportation, and convenient for filling and draining. They offer unparalleled advantages over other packaging options in terms of space savings, increased efficiency, and ease of movement. Compared to drums, IBCs can save 35% of storage space. Designed to be sized according to ISO standards and designed for ease of use, IBCs can be stacked four high and can be transported in any conventional manner.

[0003] When using existing IBC tanks, the thin dual-purpose positive and negative pressure safety valves for IBC tanks can generally only provide single positive and negative pressure protection, which makes it difficult for users to flexibly handle situations where the device experiences positive or negative pressure. Therefore, we propose a thin dual-purpose positive and negative pressure safety valve for IBC tanks to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a positive and negative pressure dual-purpose thin safety valve for an IBC tank, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] Preferably, the top of the No. 3 block is fixedly connected to the No. 1 spring, the other end of the No. 1 spring is fixedly connected to the No. 1 block, the inside of the No. 1 block is fixedly connected to a piston, and the inside of the safety valve body is provided with a No. 1 hole adapted to the piston, and the outside of the piston is slidably connected to the inside of the No. 1 hole.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the piston is fixedly connected to block No. 2, the bottom of block No. 2 is integrally formed with a connecting ring, the inner side of the connecting ring is slidably connected to block No. 4, and the bottom of block No. 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block, and the top of block No. 4 is fixedly connected to spring No. 2, and the other end of spring No. 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of block No. 2.

[0009] Preferably, the outside of the safety valve body is fixedly connected to a vent pipe, the outside of the vent pipe is fixedly connected to a No. 3 disk, and a plurality of threaded holes are opened on one side of the No. 3 disk.

[0010] Preferably, a fixing plug is fixedly connected to the top of the safety valve body, and a No. 1 vent hole is provided on the top of the fixing plug.

[0011] Preferably, a second vent hole is provided on the inner side of the second block.

[0012] In the utility model, a positive and negative pressure dual-purpose thin safety valve for an IBC tank is described. By connecting one end of a connecting pipe to the interior of the IBC tank, when the air pressure inside the IBC tank is greater than that outside, the internal air pressure flows from the inside of the connecting pipe, thereby driving the No. 3 block to move upward, thereby compressing the No. 1 spring. At this time, the top of the connecting pipe is no longer abutted by the No. 3 block, causing the internal gas of the IBC tank to be discharged to the outside through the vent pipe. Until the air pressure inside and outside the IBC tank is balanced, the No. 3 block is elastically acted upon by the No. 1 spring and abuts against the top of the connecting pipe again.

[0013] In the utility model, the positive and negative pressure dual-purpose thin safety valve for an IBC tank is configured such that when the pressure inside the IBC tank is lower than that outside, the outside gas pushes the No. 4 block, causing the No. 2 spring to stretch, thereby causing the connecting block to move downward and abut against the two spherical blocks, thereby causing the abutting block inside the No. 3 block to start moving and compressing the small spring, thereby unsealing the top of the connecting pipe, allowing the outside gas to enter the inside of the device through the connecting pipe. When the air pressure inside and outside the IBC tank is the same, the No. 4 block begins to reset under the action of the No. 2 spring, causing the abutting block to re-seal the inside of the No. 3 block under the action of the small spring.

[0014] The utility model has a reasonable structural design. Through the cooperation among the fixed plug, the bottom ring, the No. 1 block, the No. 2 block, the No. 3 block, the No. 1 spring and the No. 2 spring, the safety valve body can adjust the positive and negative pressures of the IBC tank, thereby facilitating use by users.
