[0017] Further, the floating plate is made of PVC foam material.

[0018] Through the above scheme, the PVC foam material has the characteristics of light weight, so that the floating plate can provide sufficient buoyancy, which is conducive to the lifting movement of the floating plate in the water in the pipe network, and improves the response speed of the exhaust device.

[0019] Further, the water stop plate is made of silica gel material.

[0020] Through the above scheme, the silica gel material has excellent elasticity, good weather resistance and anti-aging performance, so that the water stop plate can maintain good shape and sealing performance during long-term use, and the silica gel water stop plate can tightly adhere to the air outlet hole to form a seal and prevent water leakage.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The exhaust device for the water supply pipe network can block small foreign matters that may fall in the water supply pipe network and prevent them from entering the inside of the exhaust device, thereby reducing the risk of failure of the exhaust device due to blockage or damage, improving the stability and safety of the exhaust device, and enabling the device to automatically perform exhaust operation according to the air pressure change in the pipe network through the design of the lifting column, the floating plate, the sliding plate and the water stop plate. When water flows into the water supply pipe network, the air in the pipe network is pressed at the upper end of the pipe, the air enters the exhaust device through the shunt pipe, and when the air is discharged, the water flows into the shell and enters the fixed barrel through the through hole. The floating plate in the fixed barrel rises with the water level, drives the lifting column and the water stop plate to move upward, and the water stop plate can seal the exhaust device to prevent water leakage.
