AI Technical Summary
The existing expansion tank has problems with inconsistent manufacturing tolerances at the injection port and different valve cover installation torques, resulting in insufficient sealing effect. In addition, the sealing positions of the valve cover and the injection port are inconsistent, affecting the sealing effect and demolding requirements.
The injection port is manufactured using a beryllium copper mold, eliminating the draft angle design. Combined with a sealing ring, this ensures the sealing performance and standardization of the injection port and valve cover. The injection port manufacturing tolerance is ±0.1mm, and the roundness is 0.14mm. This enhances the sealing effect of the sealing ring. An exhaust pipe is also installed on the cover to release gas and prevent excessive system pressure.
It improves the sealing and durability of the expansion tank, reduces the waste of repeated development and verification, achieves standardization and universality of the valve cover, ensures the roundness of the injection port and demolding requirements, has good heat dissipation effect, and reduces manufacturing costs.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to an expansion tank, especially an expansion tank with improved sealing structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] The expansion tank is also called an expansion water tank, which is a device for liquid volume compensation to prevent the pipe from being broken due to thermal expansion and cold contraction. The expansion tank is provided with a liquid injection port. A valve cover is sealingly installed in the liquid injection port. The liquid injection port generally has a manufacturing tolerance. In order to facilitate the demolding of the expansion tank, a 1° demolding slope is generally provided on the liquid injection port. This will result in that the tolerance of the liquid injection port cannot be guaranteed. In addition, the valve cover is a standard general part. The depths of the liquid injection ports of different expansion tanks are different. This results in that the torques for installing the valve covers are different, the sealing positions of the valve covers and the liquid injection ports are different, and the sealing effect is insufficient. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model adopts the technical scheme that:
[0005] An expansion tank with improved sealing structure comprises a tank body with an open top. A cover body is installed on the top of the tank body. A liquid injection port made of beryllium copper mold is arranged on the cover body. The liquid injection port is a straight cylinder. A valve cover is sealingly installed in the liquid injection port. A sealing ring is arranged between the valve cover and the liquid injection port.
[0006] The manufacturing tolerance of the liquid injection port is ±0.1 mm. The roundness of the liquid injection port is 0.14 mm.
[0007] A water outlet pipe is arranged on the bottom of the tank body. An exhaust pipe is arranged on the cover body.
[0008] The utility model has the advantages that: the cover body is installed on the top of the tank body. A liquid injection port made of beryllium copper mold is arranged on the cover body. The liquid injection port is a straight cylinder. A valve cover is sealingly installed in the liquid injection port. The demolding slope design of the liquid injection port is cancelled. The consistency of the valve cover and the liquid injection port is guaranteed. The sealing ring can better block the installation gap between the valve cover and the liquid injection port. The sealing effect is consistent. The manufacturing tolerance of the liquid injection port is guaranteed. The standardization and generalization of the valve cover are effectively promoted. The waste of repeated development and verification is reduced. The surface of the beryllium copper mold is smooth. The friction between the liquid injection port and the beryllium copper mold is small. The demolding requirement of the liquid injection port without demolding slope is guaranteed. The heat dissipation effect is good. The roundness of the inner diameter of the liquid injection port and the demolding requirement of the liquid injection port without demolding slope are guaranteed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
