[0023] As shown in Figures 2-5As shown, the valve core includes a cylindrical core column 41 and a circular core seat 42 integrally formed with the core column 41, the core seat 42 is located at one end of the core column 41 close to the sealing assembly, the inner side wall of the through hole 311 is provided with a rectangular sealing groove 5, the sealing assembly includes a rubber sealing element 51 bonded in the sealing groove 5, the volume of the sealing element 51 is greater than the volume of the sealing groove 5, which ensures a tight fit and enhances the sealing effect, the core column 41 is provided with a sealing section 411, the diameter of the sealing section 411 is greater than the inner diameter of the sealing element 51, and the diameter of the core column 41 is smaller than the inner diameter of the sealing element 51, which provides continuous sealing for the position of the valve seat 31 and the inner side wall of the through hole 311 in the closed state of the negative pressure release valve 3, reduces the risk of liquid or gas leakage, and the relationship between the core column 41 and the inner diameter of the sealing element 51 ensures stable sealing while allowing flexible opening and closing of the valve when the pressure changes, the sealing assembly further includes a trapezoidal sealing ring 6 bonded to the outer peripheral wall of the core seat 42, and the lower edge of the core seat 42 located in the bottle body 1 is provided with a chamfer, and the sealing ring 6 cooperates with the chamfer to provide additional stability for sealing.
