DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] Example 1

[0029] As Figures 1-3 shown, a breathing valve convenient for self-checking, including breathing valve body 1, and breathing valve body 1 is due to the existing conventional structure, therefore, no longer tedious, it mainly includes the upper valve plate 13 and the lower valve plate 12 of controlling the air inlet and outlet, and including the connecting flange 11 connected with the pipe orifice of the oil tank or other equipment, the main difference lies in, the connecting flange 11 of the breathing valve body 1 is sealed and connected with the connecting ring 2 and the partition valve in turn, ensure that it will not affect the sealing of the equipment connected with it normally, and the connecting ring 2 and the partition valve are provided with through holes corresponding to the opening of the connecting flange 11, the purpose of setting the above through hole is that it will not affect the connection with the oil tank or other equipment, under normal circumstances, the breathing valve is directly connected with the above equipment through bolts, and after the above structure is added, it is necessary to ensure the sealing of the structure connection, therefore, the above through hole is set, only the length of the original fixing bolt needs to be extended, which can ensure that the nut can be normally installed and fastened to realize the connection.

[0030] In addition, in order to facilitate pressure test, the connecting ring 2 side wall is provided with a jack, and the purpose of the jack is to obtain a pressure regulating hole, therefore, as Figure 2 、 4 shown, the test mechanism 4 detachable relative to the connecting ring 2 is arranged in the jack, and the test mechanism 4 is sealed and connected with the connecting ring 2, through the above mode, the gas can be injected into the interior and the pressure test can be completed, it should be noted that the test mechanism 4 needs to ensure that the partition valve is in the closed state during use, so as to ensure that the internal cavity is a sealed cavity under the condition that the valve plate is not moved, therefore, during the pressure increasing process, the above lower valve plate 12 can be pushed normally, and during the pressure decreasing process, the above upper valve plate 13 will also be pushed, thereby completing the breathing pressure regulating operation.

[0031] And, in the structure, the testing mechanism 4 comprises a testing pipe 41 inserted into the connecting ring 2, the testing pipe 41 is used for adjusting air pressure, and for this purpose, one end of the testing pipe 41 away from the connecting ring 2 is connected with an external air pressure adjusting mechanism through an electromagnetic valve 44, and the electromagnetic valve 44 can control the opening and closing of the testing pipe 41, so as to ensure that the structure cannot inhale and exhale air from the testing pipe 41 during use.

[0032] Therefore, it can be seen that by arranging the cut-off valve, the pressure test of the breather valve can be carried out through the air pressure adjusting mechanism alone after the cut-off valve is closed, so as to ensure whether the breather valve can inhale and exhale air normally, and because the cavity is small, the problem of time-consuming for air pressure rising or falling does not occur.

[0033] And as a preferred solution, as shown in Figure 2 The connection of the testing pipe 41 is achieved by fixing a connecting piece 42 outside the testing pipe 41, and the connecting piece 42 is detachably and sealingly connected with the connecting ring 2, and the connecting ring 2 can be provided with a flange structure to be connected with the connecting piece 42, and if necessary, the connecting piece 42 can also be connected with the connecting ring 2 by welding or bonding or other ways, as long as the sealing connection can be achieved, and the detachable design can facilitate maintenance, but the bonding and welding do not have the above characteristics, but can be selected.

[0034] Then, in order to facilitate the understanding of real-time pressure, the testing pipe 41 is provided with a pressure gauge 43 at a position between the connecting piece 42 and the electromagnetic valve 44. The pressure gauge 43 can feedback the air pressure in the sealing cavity in real time, and can judge and confirm the normal operation of the breather valve according to the air pressure.

[0035] Finally, in order to facilitate installation, the connecting ring 2 is integrally formed with the cut-off valve, and the cut-off valve is a butterfly valve 3 for the purpose of convenient control. That is, a cut-off valve can be welded on one side of the butterfly valve 3, or a cylinder can be directly selected as the valve body of the butterfly valve 3, as long as the target can be achieved to meet the demand.

[0036] In addition to the above structure, as a preferred solution, in order to avoid affecting the normal operation of the breather valve, the pipe diameter of the connecting ring 2 and the cut-off valve is greater than the pipe diameter of the breather valve connecting flange 11.

[0037] In addition to the above structure, according to the characteristics of the breather valve, the device also discloses an oil tank comprising a tank body, and the opening of the tank body is provided with the above-mentioned breather valve. When detecting, the butterfly valve can be closed to directly detect the breather valve without affecting the internal environment of the oil tank, and the tank flange is detachably connected with the breather valve after penetrating the connecting flange 11, the connecting ring 2 and the cut-off valve through bolts.

[0038] The above method can quickly confirm whether the breather valve of the oil tank can operate normally and will not affect the internal environment of the oil tank. It takes less time. However, when using it, it is necessary to avoid closing the butterfly valve, which would affect the normal internal air pressure regulation of the oil tank.

[0039] Therefore, to prevent the breather valve from malfunctioning, the oil tank is equipped with an alarm that can be activated after the isolation valve is closed. In this mode, the oil tank has a limit switch installed at the actuator of the butterfly valve 3. When the butterfly valve 3 is in a fully closed state, the limit switch can be triggered. By connecting it to the alarm, the alarm can be triggered to provide a reminder.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] In addition to the structure described in Example 1, since the valve plate of the breathing valve is located in the internal space, its opening and closing degree cannot be known. Therefore, based on this, as... Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate knowing the real-time position of the valve plate, the test tube 41 is provided with a first ranging mechanism 51 inside the connecting ring 2, and the first ranging mechanism 51 is located directly below the lower valve plate 12. The breathing valve is also provided with a second ranging mechanism 52 directly above the upper valve plate 13. The position monitoring of the upper and lower valve plates can be realized through the setting of the two ranging mechanisms. With the help of the pressure gauge, it is possible to know whether the breathing valve can normally adjust the air intake and exhaust according to the air pressure and the actual position of the two valve plates.

[0042] Furthermore, the first ranging mechanism 51 is installed in such a way that the end of the test tube 41 inside the connecting ring 2 is sealed and detachably connected to the first ranging mechanism 51. Multiple air holes are provided on the side circumferentially to prevent gas from blowing towards the first ranging mechanism 51 and causing it to shake or shift.
