[0027] The following is a detailed description of the specific settings and functions of this embodiment. During the pressure relief process, the filter 37 installed in the air inlet pipe 3 is used to filter the passing gas, thereby filtering out solid particles and impurities in the material to prevent them from entering the interior of the utility model and causing blockage, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the utility model. Through the setting of the bolt and nut assembly 35, it is convenient for the user to regularly remove the sealing cover 36 from one side of the air inlet pipe 3, so as to pull out the filter 37 and clean it to ensure its filtering effect. Through the setting of the air inlet flange 31 and the exhaust flange 41, it is convenient to install the air inlet pipe 3 on the vacuum pipe of the molecular distillation equipment, and at the same time connect the exhaust pipe 4 to the external pipe to collect exhaust gas.
[0028] Example 2: Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, the upper outer wall of the valve cover 1 is fixedly connected to a fixed block 11, and the top of the fixed block 11 is rotatably connected to the control rod 12. The top surface of the fixed block 11 passes through a fixedly connected limit seat 16, and the center of the top surface of the limit seat 16 passes through a movably connected valve stem 14. The top end of the valve stem 14 is rotatably connected to the middle inner wall of the control rod 12. A spring 15 is provided inside the valve cover 1, and the spring 15 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the valve stem 14. The top end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limit seat 16, and the bottom end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the limit plate 17. The limit plate 17 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the valve stem 14, and the bottom end of the valve stem 14 is fixedly connected to the valve head 18. A connecting port 21 is provided on the inner wall of the valve seat 2, and a sealing gasket 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting port 21. The valve head 18 is movably connected to the inner wall of the sealing gasket 22. The outer walls on both sides of the valve cover 1 are fixedly connected to the outer guard plate 13.
[0029] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment is that, by installing the utility model on the vacuum pipeline of the molecular distillation equipment, when a positive pressure situation unexpectedly occurs in the vacuum pipeline of the molecular distillation equipment, due to the sharp increase in the internal pressure of the pipeline, its value is greater than the pressure borne by the top of the valve head 18, under the action of this pressure difference, the bottom of the valve head 18 will be subjected to a strong lifting force, thereby overcoming other resistances and starting to move upward. As the valve head 18 rises, the channel between the exhaust pipe 4 and the intake pipe 3 is gradually opened, so that the excessive pressure in the pipeline can be smoothly discharged through the exhaust pipe 4, thereby automatically completing the pressure relief process, effectively avoiding a series of safety accidents that may be caused by excessive pressure, and providing reliable protection for the stable operation of the molecular distillation equipment. By setting the sealing gasket 22, it is convenient to maintain the sealing of the connection of the valve head 18, and when the valve head 18 contacts the connection part, it can fully fill the small gap between the two, greatly enhancing the sealing of the connection of the valve head 18. Whether in the recovery process after positive pressure relief or during the long-term normal operation of the equipment, the sealing gasket 22 can consistently maintain good sealing performance, effectively reducing energy loss and vacuum drop caused by poor sealing. Through the setting of the control rod 12, the user can manually control the control rod 12 to pull the valve stem 14 in an emergency, thereby controlling the valve head 18 to separate from the sealing gasket 22, thereby achieving manual pressure relief. The manual pressure relief function provides an additional safeguard for the safe operation of the molecular distillation equipment, so that in various complex situations, the pressure in the pipeline can be controlled in a timely and effective manner, further improving the overall safety and reliability of the equipment.
[0030] The method of use and working principle of this device: When in use, the user installs the air inlet pipe 3 on the vacuum pipe of the molecular distillation equipment through the air inlet flange 31, and at the same time connects the exhaust pipe 4 to the external pipe to collect exhaust gas. When positive pressure occurs, the pressure in the pipe is greater than the pressure on the top of the valve head 18, so that the valve head 18 is lifted by the bottom pressure, so that the exhaust pipe 4 is connected with the air inlet pipe 3 to complete automatic pressure relief. When the pressure is normal, the elastic force of the spring 15 is used to control the valve head 18 to reset and close the sealing gasket 22 to maintain the seal, thereby achieving a good protection effect. During the pressure relief process, the filter screen 37 installed in the air inlet pipe 3 is used to filter the passing gas, thereby filtering out solid particles and impurities in the material to prevent them from entering the interior of the utility model and causing blockage, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the utility model. Through the setting of the bolt and nut assembly 35, it is convenient for the user to regularly remove the sealing cover plate 36 from one side of the air inlet pipe 3, so as to pull out the filter screen 37 and clean it to ensure its filtering effect.
