[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the embodiments of the present application provide a pneumatic pressure relief valve capable of monitoring pressure in real time, which comprises a valve body 1, a pressure sensor 2, a valve core 3, a piston 4, a first O-shaped ring 5, a second O-shaped ring 6, a bolt 7, a pressure regulating spring 8, a pressure regulating gasket 9, a gland 10, an outer cap 11 and an inner cap 12. ​

[0037] As Figures 1 to 3 , the valve body 1 has a hollow cavity 106, which penetrates the upper and lower end faces of the valve body 1, and the valve core 3 and the piston 4 are installed in the hollow cavity 106 of the valve body 1 from bottom to top.

[0038] The hollow cavity 106 is a multi-stage cylindrical hole, and a tapered surface is arranged inside the hollow cavity 106.

[0039] In Figures 1 to 3 , the gland 10 is placed on the upper large end face of the valve body 1, and the gland 10 is assembled on the valve body 1 by a plurality of evenly distributed bolts 7; the pressure adjusting spring 8 is arranged between the piston 4 and the gland 10, and the pressure adjusting gasket 9 is arranged between the gland 10 and the pressure adjusting spring 8.

[0040] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the valve body 1 is additionally provided with an air inlet 101, a sensor mounting interface 107, a fuel inlet 103 and a fuel return port 102, wherein the sensor mounting interface 107, the fuel inlet 103 and the fuel return port 102 are all in communication with the hollow cavity 106, and the fuel return port 102 is arranged above the tapered surface of the hollow cavity 106.

[0041] The pressure sensor 2 is installed in the sensor mounting interface 107 on the valve body 1 and is in communication with the hollow cavity 106 at the small end of the valve body 1, so as to monitor the pressure inside the hollow cavity 106 in real time.

[0042] Referring to Figure 1 , the valve core 3 is installed on the tapered surface in the hollow cavity 106 in the valve body 1. When the valve core 3 forms a seal with the tapered surface of the hollow cavity 106, the valve core 3 blocks the hollow cavity 106 of the valve body 1, thereby blocking the high-pressure fuel, and at this time the pressure of the high-pressure fuel acts on the sealing surface of the valve core 3, forming an upward hydraulic force F 液 and is transmitted to the piston 4; at the same time, when the valve core 3 forms a seal with the tapered surface of the hollow cavity 106, the fuel return port 102 is closed.

[0043] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the air inlet 101 on the valve body 1 is in communication with the closed cavity 105 formed by the piston 4 and the valve body 1 through the pre-set hole 104 in the valve body 1; the inner cap 12 is connected with the small end of the valve body 1, and the outer cap 11 is tightly sleeved outside the inner cap 12.

[0044] Referring to Figure 1 , the pressure sensor 2 is installed in the pre-set sensor mounting interface 107 on the valve body 1 and is in communication with the small end of the hollow cavity 106 on the valve body 1, so as to monitor the fuel pressure inside the hollow cavity 106 in real time.

[0045] Referring toFigure 1 and Figure 4 The piston 4 is a two-stage outer circle structure with a large difference in outer circle area. The piston 4 includes a first section and a second section. The outer diameter of the first section is larger than that of the second section. A second O-ring 6 is installed between the first section and the hollow cavity 106. A first O-ring 5 is installed between the second section and the hollow cavity 106. The piston 4 can move up and down in the hollow cavity 106 of the valve body 1. The pressure adjusting spring 8 provides a downward pre-tightening force F to the piston 4 弹 . The spool 3 is in contact with the tapered surface of the hollow cavity 106 under the downward action of the piston 4. The lower surface of the first section of the piston 4 forms a sealed cavity 105 with the valve body 1. The gas with a certain pressure enters the sealed cavity 105 from the gas inlet 101 and acts on the lower surface of the first section of the piston 4, generating an upward thrust F 气 .

[0046] When the force relationship of the piston 4 is F 液 +F 气 >F 弹 , the piston 4 is lifted up by the spool 3. The high-pressure fuel from the fuel inlet 103 flows out from the fuel return port 102 of the valve body 1, thereby achieving the purpose of pressure relief.

[0047] Referring to Figure 1 , the grommet 10 is provided with a boss inside for installing and positioning the pressure adjusting spring 8. The outer wall is provided with a hole 110 which is connected to the inner cavity of the grommet 10, so that the inner cavity of the grommet 10 remains consistent with the external air pressure after assembly.

[0048] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the small end of the valve body 1 is in a ball head structure. The inner cap 12 is connected to the small end of the valve body 1 through a threaded connection and is positioned by a tapered surface. The outer cap 11 is provided with external threads and is sleeved outside the inner cap 12. The inner cap 12 is pressed tightly by the tapered surface pre-set on the inner cap 12. Referring to Figure 6 , the outer tapered surface of the inner cap 12 is uniformly provided with a plurality of grooves 121 which are connected to the inner wall. After being pressed by the outer cap 11, the grooves 121 will be slightly deformed inward, further tightly holding the small end of the valve body 1. The outer cap 11 is connected to the installation interface of the pressure relief valve through a threaded connection. At this time, the pressure relief valve is sealed with the pressure source component through the ball head of the small end of the valve body 1. The pressure relief valve can be rotated to any angle along the axial direction, which is convenient for connecting the fuel return port 102 of the pressure relief valve with the external oil pipe.

[0049] The specific implementation process is as follows: by setting the hollow cavity 106 inside the valve body 1, setting the conical surface in the hollow cavity 106, installing the valve core 3 on the conical surface, cutting off the high-pressure fuel, installing the piston 4, the pressure regulating spring 8 and the pressure regulating gasket 6 on the valve core 3 from bottom to top, pressing by the gland 10, providing the valve core 3 with pre-tightening force by the pressure regulating spring 8, setting the gas inlet interface 101 on the valve body 1 and setting the internal hole 104, combining the two-stage outer circle structure design of the piston 4 with large area difference, when a certain pressure gas is introduced from the gas inlet interface 101, certain conditions are reached, such as F 液 +F 气 >F 弹 When the piston 4 moves upward, the valve core 3 is opened, the high-pressure fuel flows out from the reserved fuel return port 102 on the valve body 1, and the purpose of pressure relief is achieved.

[0050] In addition, the sensor mounting interface 107 is arranged on the valve body 1, the pressure sensor 2 can be installed and the internal pressure can be detected in real time; through the design of the above structure scheme, the reliable, economical and environmentally friendly pneumatic pressure relief with compact structure can be realized.

[0051] It should be noted that in this paper, the relationship terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between the entities or operations. Moreover, the term "include", "contain" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or equipment including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed or fixed for such process, method, article or equipment. The monitoring function of the cut-off valve is not limited to monitoring pressure, and by adjusting the type of sensor installed on the valve body, other parameters such as temperature can be monitored.
