Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of safety valves, in particular to a breathing safety valve for a tank. Background Art

[0002] Safety valves are widely installed on tanks. When the inside of the tank is in an overpressure state, the valve core in the safety valve is pushed open by the action of air pressure, making the safety valve open. When the air pressure value is within the safety threshold, the safety valve closes, thereby balancing the pressure inside the tank and preventing the tank from cracking due to overpressure. Since the valve core of a traditional safety valve moves in one direction, a single safety valve cannot solve the problem of negative pressure inside the tank at the same time, causing the tank surface to sag and collapse due to negative pressure. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the background technology, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a breathing safety valve for a tank, comprising a valve body, a pressure cover, an upper valve core, a main spring, a lower valve core and a secondary spring, the valve body being detachably connected to the pressure cover, the pressure cover and the valve body being respectively provided with an upper air hole and a lower air hole that are connected to each other, the valve body being abutted against the upper valve core for blocking the lower air hole, and a main spring being provided between the upper valve core and the pressure cover, the upper valve core being provided with an air hole for balancing the air pressure, a lower valve core being provided at the bottom of the upper valve core for blocking the air hole, and the lower valve core being provided with a valve stem for sliding connection to the upper valve core, and a secondary spring being provided between the valve stem and the upper valve core.

[0004] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lower air hole is in an overpressure state, the upper valve core is pushed upward and away from the upper air hole under the action of air pressure, and the main spring is compressed, and the gas in the tank body is discharged from the upper air hole to prevent the tank body from being damaged due to overload; when the lower air hole is in a negative pressure state, the lower valve core is moved downward and away from the upper valve core under the action of air pressure, and the secondary spring is compressed, and the external gas flows to the lower air hole through the upper air hole and the air vent, to prevent the tank body from being dented and deformed due to negative pressure; when the air pressure at the lower air hole is at a safety threshold, the main spring / secondary spring drives the upper valve core / lower valve core to reset, so that the tank body still maintains structural stability under overpressure and negative pressure conditions.

[0005] The utility model is further configured such that the upper valve core is provided with a sealing gasket for blocking the lower air hole, the valve body is provided with a bottom plane abutting against the sealing gasket at the lower air hole, and the upper valve core is sealed and connected to the valve body through the sealing gasket.

[0006] Furthermore, an outer ring portion abutting against a sealing gasket is provided on the outer side of the lower valve core, the air vent is provided on the inner side of the outer ring portion, and the lower valve core is sealed and connected to the upper valve core through the outer ring portion.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper valve core is provided with a sliding hole for slidingly connecting to the valve stem, the top of the valve stem is provided with a retaining ring, and the auxiliary spring is provided between the retaining ring and the upper valve core.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper valve core and the lower valve core share the same sealing gasket, reducing the required sealing accessories and lowering costs. The retaining ring is a retaining spring part, and a slot is provided on the top of the valve stem. The retaining ring is installed in a snap-fit ​​manner through the slot, so that the two ends of the spring respectively abut against the retaining ring and the upper valve core. The overall design is reasonable and the structure is simple.

[0009] The utility model is further configured such that the gland is provided with a threaded column, the valve body is provided with an internal thread adapted to the threaded column, the gland is threadably connected to the valve body via the threaded column, a main spring is sleeved in the valve body, and the main spring is provided between the threaded column and the upper valve core.

[0010] Furthermore, a mounting portion for externally connecting to a tank body is provided at the bottom of the valve body, and a sealing groove for filling a sealing ring is provided at the mounting portion.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the valve body is installed on the tank body through the mounting part by using a flange / clamp. The internal filter element accessories of the safety valve can be disassembled or installed by rotating the pressure cap. The disassembly and assembly method is simple and quick, and regular cleaning is achieved to prevent cross contamination of materials inside the tank body.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] On the basis of the one-way movable upper valve core, a lower valve core structure is provided for solving the negative pressure state of the tank body. When the lower air hole is in an overpressure state, the upper valve core is pushed upward and away from the upper air hole under the action of air pressure, the safety valve opens, and the gas in the tank body is discharged from the upper air hole; when the lower air hole is in a negative pressure state, the lower valve core is moved downward and away from the upper valve core under the action of air pressure, the safety valve opens, and external gas enters the tank body, thereby solving the problem of overpressure or negative pressure in the tank body and improving the service life of the tank body.
