[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The high-pressure oil tank isolation valve for a lightweight hybrid power vehicle shown in an embodiment of the present application includes a first housing 10 and a second housing 20.
[0028] A first chamber 11 and a second chamber 12 are formed in the first housing 10, which are sequentially connected from top to bottom and have decreasing inner diameters. The first chamber 11 is used to accommodate a coil assembly 30 and a armature assembly 40 movably connected to the coil assembly 30 and abutting against the bottom of the first chamber 11. An oil tank port 13 is provided on the first chamber 11, and an opening is formed at the bottom of the second chamber 12. The oil tank port 13 is connected to an oil tank, and the armature assembly 40 abuts against the bottom of the first chamber 11. The coil assembly 30 is used to drive the armature assembly 40 to move in the direction of approaching or moving away from the first chamber 11, so as to connect or close the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12, thereby performing pressure relief or sealing. This is a prior art and will not be described here.
[0029] A cavity 21 communicating with the carbon tank is formed in the second shell 20, the second shell 20 is sealingly connected to the first shell 10 from the opening, the mechanical valve assembly 50 is arranged in the second chamber 12, the mechanical valve assembly 50, the first shell 10 and the armature assembly 40 form a pressure relief channel, one end of the mechanical sealing assembly is elastically connected to the second shell 20, the other end abuts the top of the second chamber 12 and is sealingly connected with the armature assembly 40 to block the pressure relief channel. The sealing connection mode of the second shell 20 and the first shell 10 can be welding, threaded connection, etc., as long as the two can be connected and meet the sealing requirements, which is not limited here.
[0030] In an embodiment, the second shell 20 is L-shaped, one end is connected to the carbon tank, and the other end is inserted into the first shell 10 from the opening. The inner wall of the corner of the L-shaped second shell 20 is arc-shaped, which is beneficial to change the flow direction of high-pressure gas and reduce the direct impact of high-pressure gas on the second shell 20 when pressure relief.
[0031] In an embodiment, a second shell 22 is formed in the second shell 20 at the inflection point along the axis direction of the second chamber 12 towards the first chamber 11, a gap is formed between the second shell 22 and the inner wall of the second shell 20, and the mechanical sealing valve assembly is elastically connected to the second shell 22. The second shell 22 is arranged at the middle position of the cavity of the second shell 20 and is composed of a plurality of connecting pieces. The interval between the connecting pieces and the gap between the second shell 22 and the inner wall of the second shell 20 together form a pressure relief flow channel between the second chamber 12 and the tank port 13 to improve the pressure relief effect.
[0032] In an embodiment, the pressure relief channel includes a first pressure relief channel 15 formed between the mechanical valve assembly 50 and the inner wall of the second chamber 12 and a second pressure relief channel 511 formed on the mechanical valve assembly 50. When the armature assembly 40 is away from the bottom of the first chamber 11, the first pressure relief channel and the second pressure relief channel 511 simultaneously communicate the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12, and pressure relief is carried out through double channels, effectively improving the pressure relief effect.
[0033] In an embodiment, the armature assembly 40 has a flow-through hole 411, the orthographic projection of the flow-through hole 411 in the axis direction of the second chamber 12 falls on the mechanical valve assembly 50 and is located between the first pressure relief channel 15 and the second pressure relief channel 511. When the coil assembly 30 is de-energized and the tank port 13 is in high-pressure working condition, high-pressure gas can act on the mechanical valve assembly 50 through the flow-through hole 411 to drive the mechanical valve assembly 50 to move away from the armature assembly 40 to open the first pressure relief channel 15 and the second pressure relief channel 511, so as to realize rapid pressure relief.
[0034] In an embodiment, the armature assembly 40 comprises an armature and a first sealing disc 41 arranged at the end of the armature, the mechanical valve assembly 50 comprises a mechanical valve assembly 51 movably arranged in the second chamber 12, the first sealing disc 41 abuts on the bottom of the first chamber 11 and the end face of the mechanical valve assembly 51 to block the first pressure relief passage 15 and the second pressure relief passage 511. The armature is movably arranged in the coil assembly 30 and driven to move the first valve disc by the coil assembly 30, a spring 42 is sleeved on the armature, and the two ends of the spring 42 are connected with the first valve disc and the coil assembly 30 respectively. When the coil assembly 30 is powered off and the second shell 20 is under high pressure, the high-pressure gas can act on the first sealing disc 41 to drive the first sealing disc 41 to move away from the bottom of the first chamber 11, thereby opening the first pressure relief passage 15 and the second pressure relief passage 511 for pressure relief.
[0035] The diameter of the first valve disc is smaller than the inner diameter of the first chamber 11, and the pressure relief can be performed between the second valve disc and the inner wall of the first chamber 11 during pressure relief, effectively improving the pressure relief effect. The second valve disc is elastically connected to the second shell 22 by a mechanical spring 52, and the second valve disc is elastically abutted on the first valve disc, further improving the sealing effect between the two, and at the same time, when the high-pressure gas acts on the second valve disc, the second valve disc compresses the mechanical spring 52 to open the first pressure relief passage 15 and the second pressure relief passage 511, realizing rapid pressure relief.
[0036] In an embodiment, the first sealing disc 41 is a convex structure having a first sealing surface and a second sealing surface, the end of the mechanical valve assembly 51 is concave to form a sealing groove, and the second pressure relief passage 511 is formed at the groove bottom of the sealing groove. The first sealing surface is sealingly abutted on the bottom of the first chamber 11 and the groove top of the sealing groove to block the first pressure relief passage 15, and the second sealing surface is sealingly abutted on the groove bottom of the sealing groove to block the second pressure relief passage 511. By arranging the first sealing surface and the second sealing surface with a height difference, the sealing strength of the first pressure relief passage 15 and the second pressure relief passage 511 can be adjusted as needed.
[0037] In an embodiment, the diameter of the second sealing surface is smaller than the diameter of the sealing groove. The part of the convex structure extending into the sealing groove forms a gap between the inner wall of the sealing groove, which can form a larger force application surface when the high-pressure gas of the oil tank port 13 is pressed to the mechanical valve assembly 51, facilitating the movement of the mechanical valve assembly 51 towards the bottom of the second chamber 12, thereby opening the first pressure relief passage 15 and the second pressure relief passage 511 for pressure relief.
[0038] In an embodiment, a plurality of spacing strips 14 are arranged on the inner wall of the top of the second chamber 12 in a circumferential direction, and the end surface of the spacing strip 14 is in abutting connection with the outer surface of the mechanical valve assembly 51. The cross section of the mechanical valve assembly 51 is in a convex structure, and the upper surface of the end of the mechanical valve assembly 51 with a larger diameter is in abutting connection with the bottom surface of the spacing strip 14 away from the first chamber 11, so as to cooperate with the mechanical spring 52 to abut the mechanical valve assembly 51 on the top of the second chamber 12, and the outer wall of the end of the mechanical valve assembly 51 with a smaller diameter is in abutting connection with the end surface of the spacing strip 14 in the radial direction of the second chamber 12, so as to guide the moving direction of the mechanical valve assembly 51, so as to realize the accurate abutting connection between the mechanical valve assembly 51 and the first sealing disc 41, and ensure the sealing effect of the first pressure relief channel 15 and the second pressure relief channel 511. The top surface of the spacing strip 14 on the side close to the first chamber 11 is not coplanar with the bottom of the first chamber 11 and is located in the second chamber 12, so that when the second shell 20 is subjected to high pressure, the force exerted by the high-pressure gas on the force surface of the first sealing disc 41 is larger, and the first sealing disc 41 is driven to move. The communication hole for communicating the first pressure relief channel 15 and the second chamber 12 is arranged on the end of the mechanical valve assembly 51 with a smaller diameter, and the second pressure relief channel 511 is arranged along the axis direction of the end of the mechanical valve assembly 51 with a smaller diameter, so as to facilitate the confluence of the first pressure relief channel 15 and the second pressure relief channel 511 into the second chamber 12.
[0039] In an embodiment, the first sealing disc 41 is provided with a sealing element, which includes a first sealing ring 412 arranged on the first sealing surface and a second sealing ring 413 arranged on the second sealing surface, and the sealing ring includes an outer sealing lip and an inner sealing lip in abutting connection with the bottom of the first chamber 11 and the top of the sealing groove, respectively. The sealing lip can be compressed and deformed to form a larger sealing surface contact surface when the first sealing disc 41 is in abutting connection with the bottom of the first chamber 11 and the top of the sealing groove, so as to improve the sealing effect. Of course, in other embodiments, two independent sealing rings in abutting connection with the bottom of the first chamber 11 and the top of the sealing groove can also be arranged on the first sealing surface.
[0040] The second shell is sealingly connected to the opening in the bottom of the first shell, the inner cavity of the second shell is matched with the second chamber of the first shell to accommodate the mechanical valve assembly, the connection between the second shell and the first shell is close to the middle part of the mechanical sealing assembly, the installation stroke of the mechanical valve assembly is shorter, the assembly is facilitated and it is easier to confirm whether the installation of the mechanical valve assembly is qualified, and meanwhile, when pressure relief, the high-pressure gas acts on the inner wall of the second shell when changing the flow direction in the second shell, thereby avoiding direct action on the connection between the two, and reducing the risk of falling off.
[0041] Any combination of the technical features in the above-described embodiments can be made, and for the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations are described, however, as long as the combination of the technical features does not exist in contradiction, it shall be considered as within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0042] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it shall not be understood as a limitation on the scope of the present application patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled persons in the art, under the premise of not departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
