[0033] The sealing seat pressing block 7 comprises a sealing seat pressing block main body 72 and a protruding part 71 arranged at the end of the sealing seat pressing block main body 72, the diameter of the protruding part 71 is smaller than that of the sealing seat pressing block main body 72, and an external thread is arranged on the sealing seat pressing block main body 72.

[0034] The lower surface of the second columnar section 63 is provided with a butt joint groove, and the protruding part 71 is in interference fit with the butt joint groove.

[0035] The cavity of the pressure relief valve shell body 1 is provided with a first straight section, a conical surface section 9, a second straight section and a third straight section which are matched with the sealing sleeve assembly and are sequentially connected, and the inner wall surface of the conical surface section 9 is extrusion sealed with the outer wall surface of the conical frustum sealing section 62.

[0036] The inner wall surface of the first straight section is in clearance fit with the outer wall surface of the first columnar section 61, the inner wall surface of the second straight section is in clearance fit with the outer wall surface of the second columnar section 63, and an internal thread is arranged on the third straight section and is matched with the external thread on the sealing seat pressing block main body 72.

[0037] The end surface of the pressure relief valve shell body 1 for installing and inserting into the heat pump air conditioner compressor is provided with a convex ring tooth 8, an external thread is arranged on the outer surface of the pressure relief valve shell body 1, the pressure relief valve shell body 1 is fastened in the heat pump air conditioner compressor through the external thread, and the convex ring tooth 8 is extrusion sealed with a counterpart.

The material of the sealing seat pressing block 7 is one of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy and copper alloy.

[0039] In particular implementation, the high-temperature and high-pressure resistant heat pump air conditioner pressure relief valve in the embodiment can be used for R744 heat pump air conditioner pressure relief valve sealing structure.

[0040] External leakage will cause the refrigerant in the air conditioning system to decrease, causing the system components to be damaged and fail due to lack of refrigerant. Sealing area: sealing seat 6 and electronic valve or compressor body. Internal leakage is: when the pressure of the electronic valve or compressor system reaches a preset pressure, such as 130 bar, 170 bar, pressure relief is performed to protect the system safety.

[0041] Implementation of external leakage sealing: the pressure relief valve housing 1 is tightened by thread, and the housing end face protruding ring tooth 8 is sealed by extrusion with the opposite piece on the heat pump air conditioner compressor.

[0042] Implementation of internal leakage sealing:

[0043] 1. The sealing seat pressure block 7 is tightened by thread to give the sealing seat 6 a thrust, and the outer taper surface of the sealing seat 6 is sealed by extrusion with the inner taper surface of the pressure relief valve housing 1.

[0044] 2. The sliding block is given a thrust by adjusting the spring compression amount, and the sliding block pushes the sealing ball to extrude the sealing seat taper surface for sealing.

[0045] In the technical solution, the hardness difference cooperation is:

[0046] a) Compressor housing (soft) - pressure relief valve housing (hard): the protruding ring tooth 8 on the end face of the pressure relief valve housing 1 is extruded and embedded into the compressor housing for sealing;

[0047] b) Sealing seat (soft) - pressure relief valve housing (hard): the outer taper surface of the sealing seat 6 is extruded and sealed with the inner taper surface of the pressure relief valve housing 1;

[0048] c) Sealing seat (soft) - sealing ball (hard): the inner taper surface of the sealing seat 6 is extruded and sealed with the sealing ball 5.

[0049] In particular assembly, the end protrusion 71 of the sealing seat pressure block 7 is pressed into the abutting groove of the sealing seat 6, and the two are preassembled. The preassembled sealing seat 6 and sealing seat pressure block 7 form a sealing assembly, which is installed in the pressure relief valve housing 1. The sealing seat pressure block 7 is screwed into the pressure relief valve housing 1 by thread, and a suitable tightening torque is adopted. The outer taper surface of the sealing seat 6, i.e. the conical frustum sealing section 62, is extruded and sealed with the inner taper surface of the pressure relief valve housing 1. The sealing ball 5 is installed, and the sealing ball 5 is attached to the inner taper surface of the sealing seat 6 to form a pressure-resistant seal.

[0050] The inner conical surface of the sliding block 4 presses the sealing ball 5 to form a counter-pressure seal. The spring 3 is placed in the pressure relief valve housing 1 and vertically falls into the mounting hole of the sliding block 4. The pressure regulating nut 2 is screwed into the pressure relief valve housing 1, and by adjusting the screwing depth of the pressure regulating nut 2, the pressure applied by the sliding block 4 to the sealing ball 5 on the conical surface of the sealing seat 6 is adjusted to seal, and the force applied is the pressure relief opening pressure. The pressure relief valve housing 1 is screwed into the compressor housing through threads, and a suitable tightening torque is adopted to make the protruding ring teeth 8 on the end face of the pressure relief valve housing 1 extrude and embed into the compressor housing to seal.

[0051] Comparative Example 1

[0052] The technical solutions of CN214743587U and CN218000534U are similar in the structures of the pressure relief valve housing, the adjusting sliding block, the spring, the pressure regulating nut and the sealing ball, and the pressure relief principles are similar. However, the sealing seat structure of CN214743587U and CN218000534U is integrated, and the integrated sealing seat structure is made of plastic material. The integrated sealing seat structure needs to be in contact with the counterpart on the compressor and resist 180° temperature, and at the same time, the integrated sealing seat structure needs to be screwed on the inner wall of the pressure relief valve housing to provide axial pressure to the sealing ball, so that the integrated sealing seat structure is prone to deformation under working conditions and is prone to function damage or leakage.

[0053] The sealing seat pressure block 7 and the sealing seat 6 pre-pressed and assembled together in the embodiment 1 of the utility model have unique advantages. The sealing seat made of non-metallic material is extruded and sealed with the outer conical surface of the housing by relatively small force, and at the same time, the sealing ball is extruded and sealed with the inner conical surface of the sealing seat, so that high-efficiency internal sealing effect is achieved. This design not only optimizes the sealing performance, but also reduces the damage risk of the internal structure caused by excessive pressure under working temperature. In addition, the sealing seat is given a pushing force by the sealing seat pressure block, so that the stability and reliability of the internal sealing are further enhanced, so that the pressure relief valve can still accurately and stably play a role in a high-pressure, high-temperature and vibration environment, and the overall performance and safety of the heat pump air conditioning system are greatly improved. The protruding ring teeth are arranged on the end face of the housing, and when the housing is tightly installed with the compressor housing, the end protruding ring teeth can be stably extruded and embedded into the compressor end cover to realize reliable external sealing and effectively prevent external medium leakage.
