AI Technical Summary
Existing gate valves in tank farms are prone to rupture under excessive pressure, increasing operating costs and affecting performance.
A combined pressure relief mechanism including a valve body, a pressure relief hole, a pressure relief pipe, a check valve, and a discharge pipe was designed. Through the sealing of the O-ring and the setting of the pressure relief pipe, the O-ring is destroyed first to release pressure in the event of a fire, preventing the valve body from breaking. Pressure is then released through the pressure relief pipe and the discharge pipe to achieve the fire protection function.
It effectively prevents the valve body from rupturing under high pressure, reduces the risk of fire, reduces operating costs, and ensures the safety and reliability of gate valves in tank farms.

[0006] A combination type pressure relief mechanism for tank area gate valve fire prevention, including valve body, the valve body is equipped with middle cavity, one side inner wall of middle cavity is equipped with pressure relief hole, and pressure relief pipe is inserted in pressure relief hole, the valve body is equipped with valve plate, and one side of valve plate is fixedly connected with fireproof plug, and the circumferential outer wall of fireproof plug is clamped with O type ring.
[0007] Further, the top end of the valve body is rotatably inserted with a valve stem, and the valve plate is fixed at the bottom end of the valve stem by bolts.
[0008] Further, the other end of the pressure relief pipe is fixedly connected with a check valve.
[0009] Further, the other end of the check valve is fixedly connected with a discharge pipe.
[0010] Further, the inlet end and the outlet end of the valve body are fixedly connected with connecting flanges.
[0011] Further, one end of the connecting flange is provided with a sealing ring.
[0012] The utility model has the advantages of:
[0013] 1. By the setting of O type ring, when fire occurs, O type ring is damaged in priority to valve body, pressure enters middle cavity and then discharges from pressure relief hole, so as to achieve the purpose of fire prevention.
[0014] 2. When the pressure of the middle cavity is too high, the pressure is released outward through the pressure relief pipe, the check valve and the discharge pipe, so as to achieve the fireproof purpose. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
