In addition, when the cone valve 42 abuts against the cone valve seat 41, an overflow gap is formed between the cone valve 42 and the cone valve seat 41, which allows fluid to gradually flow from the water outlet channel 13 into the center channel 11.
[0036] Further comprising a pressure relief assembly, the pressure relief assembly comprises a pressure relief valve seat 54, a reset spring 53, a push rod 51 and a base 52; wherein the pressure relief valve seat 54 is installed at the communication between the center channel 11 and the pressure relief cavity 20.

[0037] The lower end side wall of the push rod 51 slidably abuts against the lower channel 152, and the upper end abuts against the center hole of the pressure relief valve seat 54. Specifically, the side wall of the lower end of the push rod 51 is provided with a circular table, the circular table slidably abuts against the mounting channel, and the side wall of the circular table is nested with a sealing ring, which has a good water blocking effect.
[0038] The upper ring table 55 is arranged on the side wall of the push rod 51, and the upper ring table 55 slidably abuts against the upper channel 151; the reset spring 53 is arranged in the upper channel 151 and is sleeved on the push rod 51, the upper end of the reset spring 53 abuts against the upper limiting table 153 at the upper end of the upper channel 151, and the lower end abuts against the upper ring table 55.

The upper end of the push rod 51 abuts against the center hole of the pressure relief valve seat 54, and when the upper end of the push rod 51 abuts against the pressure relief valve seat 54, a pressure relief gap is formed therebetween.
[0039] The lower end of the push rod 51 is sleeved with the base 52, specifically, the lower end of the push rod 51 is provided with a sleeve hole, and the upper end of the base 52 is provided with a sleeve column matched with the sleeve hole; the sleeve hole is communicated with the pressure guiding channel 511. The side wall of the sleeve column is embedded with a sealing ring, which has a good water blocking effect.
[0040] The cross-sectional area of the lower end of the push rod 51 is larger than that of the upper end, and the middle part of the push rod 51 is provided with the pressure guiding channel 511, and the side wall of the push rod 51 is provided with a pressure guiding hole 512 for communicating the central channel 11 and the pressure guiding channel 511. In this way, the comprehensive pressure on the push rod 51 has an upward trend.
[0041] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:
[0042] When the water outlet is balanced, referring to Figure 1 , the cone valve 42 is pushed open to the right by high-pressure water, at this time, the high-pressure water of the water inlet channel 12 enters the lower channel 152 through the first channel 16, part of the water in the central channel 11 enters the pressure guiding channel 511, and the water of the water outlet channel 13 enters the pressure regulating cavity 14 through the second channel 17, so that the valve rod 61 of the pressure regulating assembly 6 moves downward and abuts against the top end of the push rod 51; but at this time, the water pressure at the lower end of the push rod 51 is large, which has a tendency to push the push rod 51 upward, therefore, the valve rod 61 cannot press the push rod 51 downward.
[0043] When the spray gun is closed, referring to Figure 2 , the cone valve 42 is pushed by the backflushing pressure and abuts against the cone valve seat 41, at this time, the high-pressure water enters the pressure regulating cavity 14 through the second channel 17 to continue to push the valve rod 61 downward, at the same time, the high-pressure water enters the upper channel 151 through the third channel 18, which also pushes the push rod 51 downward, at this time, the downward pressure is greater than the upward pressure on the push rod 51, and then the push rod 51 moves downward until it abuts against the base 52. Then the pressure relief valve seat 54 is opened, and the high-pressure water in the central channel 11 enters the pressure relief cavity 20 and flows out from the pressure relief hole 19. At the same time, the high-pressure water of the water outlet channel 13 gradually enters the central channel 11 through the gap between the cone valve 42 and the cone valve seat 41, thereby releasing the pressure of the water outlet channel 13.
[0044] After the pressure relief is completed, the valve rod 61 of the pressure regulating assembly 6 resets and moves upward, at this time, the reset spring 53 keeps the downward pushing force on the push rod 51, and then the push rod 51 will not move upward, thereby keeping the current position and waiting for the next start of the spray gun.
[0045] Of course, the above is only a typical example of the present application, in addition to this, the present application can have other various specific implementation manners, and any technical solution formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the scope of the present application.
