Detailed Implementation
[0019] Example 1
[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a miniaturized quick-release hydrogen pressure reducing valve for refueling includes a threaded left valve body 2 and a right valve body 3. A second valve core 5 is fitted inside the right valve body 3 with a clearance, forming a first chamber 21 between the second valve core 5 and the right valve body 3. A second spring 18 is disposed between the second valve core 5 and the right valve body 3. A first valve core 4 is pressed between the left valve body 2 and the right valve body 3, forming a second chamber 22 between the first valve core 4 and the second valve core 5. A third valve core 6 is fitted inside the left valve body 2 with a clearance, forming a first spring 17 between the third valve core 6 and the first valve core 4. A third chamber 23 is formed between the first valve core 4 and the third valve core 6. A fourth chamber 24 is formed between the third valve core 6 and the left valve body 2. The right valve body 3 is located away from the left valve body 2. One end of the valve body 2 has a high-pressure inlet, and the end of the left valve body 2 away from the right valve body 3 has an outlet. The right valve body 3 has an inner hole that connects to the first chamber 21. The right valve body 3 has a gas passage groove on its thread, which connects to the inner hole. Hydrogen gas enters the first chamber 22 between the right valve body 3 and the second valve core 5 through the high-pressure inlet and the gas passage groove. It then flows into the second chamber 22 through the hole on the second valve core 5, into the third chamber 23 between the first valve core 4 and the third valve core 6 through the hole on the first valve core 4, into the fourth chamber 24 through the hole on the third valve core 6, and finally flows into the low-pressure container through the outlet on the left valve body 2. The structure is simple and the product weight is reduced. The pressure reducing valve is made of one of the following materials: titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, or stainless steel.
[0021] Example 2
[0022] Based on Embodiment 1, two sixth sealing rings 19 are installed inside the high-pressure inlet of the right valve body 3. A first locking nut 7 is threaded onto the end of the right valve body 3 away from the left valve body 2. A second sealing ring 11 is provided between the first locking nut 7 and the right valve body 3. A positioning pin 1 is provided on the first locking nut 7. The high-pressure inlet of the right valve body 3 is connected to the pipeline of the hydrogen supply system through the second locking nut 7. The sealing performance of the connection is improved by the sixth sealing rings 19.
[0023] Example 3
[0024] Based on Embodiment 2, a second locking nut 8 is threaded onto the end of the left valve body 2 away from the right valve body 3, and the outlet of the left valve body 2 is connected to the pipeline of the low-pressure vessel through the second locking nut 8.
[0025] Example 4
[0026] Based on Example 3, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a first rubber pad 9 is fixed to one end of the second valve core 5 near its inner hole, and the inner hole is located on the moving path of the first rubber pad 9. A choking vent 20 is formed through the center of the first valve core 4. A second rubber pad 16 is fixed to one end of the third valve core 6 near its choking vent 20, and the choking vent 20 is located on the moving path of the second rubber pad 16. Vents are formed on both sides of the choking vent 20 on the second valve core 5. An assembly groove is formed on one end of the third valve core 6 near the first valve core 4. The first valve core 4 is located away from the first... One end of the second valve core 5 is fitted into the assembly groove. A third sealing ring 12 is provided between the outer wall of the first valve core 4 and the inner wall of the assembly groove. The second rubber gasket 16 is placed in the assembly groove. The third valve core 6 has lateral air holes through both sides of the second rubber gasket 16. The second valve core 5, the second spring 18, and the right valve body 3 perform the main pressure regulating function, which is a first-stage pressure reduction. The closer the inner hole on the right valve body 3 is to the second valve core 5, the greater the pressure reduction ratio. Initially, the second spring 18 provides a force to the left to the second valve core 5. When hydrogen flows through, a pressure difference F2 is generated to the right between the second chamber and the first chamber. The greater the inlet pressure, the greater F2. When F2 is greater than F1, the second spring 18 is compressed, and the second valve core 5 moves to the right. The closer the inner hole on the right valve body 3 is to the first rubber pad 9, the greater the pressure reduction ratio and the smaller the outlet pressure, achieving dynamic pressure reduction. The third valve core 6, the first spring 17, and the first valve core 4 perform pressure reduction and shut-off functions, forming a two-stage pressure reduction system with automatic shut-off. Initially, the first spring 17 applies a force to the left to the third valve core 6. When hydrogen flows through, a pressure difference to the right is generated between the third chamber and the fourth chamber. The greater the inlet pressure, the greater this pressure difference. When the pressure difference is greater than the force to the left, the first spring 17 is compressed, and the third valve core 6 moves closer to the first valve core 4, causing the second rubber pad 16 to move closer to the choke hole 20. The pressure reduction ratio increases, and the outlet pressure decreases. When the second rubber pad 16 contacts the first valve core 4, the second rubber pad 16 blocks the choke hole 20, achieving the shut-off effect.

[0028] Based on Embodiment 4, a first sealing ring 10 is provided between the first valve core 4 and the right valve body 3 to improve the sealing performance of the assembly position of the first valve core 4 and the right valve core 3; a fifth sealing ring 14 is provided between the third valve core 6 and the inner wall of the left valve body 2 to improve the sealing performance of the assembly position of the third valve core 6 and the left valve body 2; and a fourth sealing ring 13 is provided between the second valve core 5 and the inner wall of the right valve body 3 to improve the sealing performance of the assembly position of the second valve core 5 and the right valve body 3.
