[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown: An automatic pressure relief valve includes a pressure relief valve body 1 and a pressure relief valve stem 2 movable within the pressure relief valve body 1. The pressure relief valve body 1 has an exhaust port 101 and a sealing ring 3 inside the pressure relief valve body 1. An air passage 103 is formed between the sealing ring 3 and the pressure relief valve body 1. The sealing ring 3 and the pressure relief valve stem 2 are connected by a clutch mechanism to control the sealing and flow of the air passage 103.
[0025] In this embodiment, the pressure relief valve body 1 and the pressure relief valve stem 2 are made of aluminum alloy, and the sealing ring 3 is made of rubber. The bottom of the pressure relief valve body 1 has an opening, which is the air inlet of the pressure relief valve body 1. When the pressure relief valve body 1 is installed on the pressure cooker lid, the opening corresponds to the inside of the pressure cooker. When pressure is generated inside the pressure cooker, the gas will push the pressure relief valve stem 2, which passes through the pressure relief valve body 1, upward through the opening, and then enter the air passage of the pressure relief valve body 1, and finally be discharged outward from the exhaust port 101 of the pressure relief valve body 1.
[0026] like Figures 3-4 As shown: The clutch mechanism includes a locking part 201 encircling the outer wall of the pressure relief valve stem 2 and a locking groove 301 formed on the sealing ring 3. When the locking part 201 is engaged in the locking groove 301, the air passage 103 is in a sealed state; when the locking part 201 is disengaged from the locking groove 301, the air passage 103 is in a free-flowing state. The cooperation between the sealing ring 3 and the locking part 201 can increase the sealing performance of both. In this embodiment, the pressure value of the pressure relief valve is 180kPa-300kPa.
[0027] like Figures 3-4 As shown: the slot 301 is an arc-shaped slot, and the shape of the engaging part 201 matches the slot 301. The engaging part 201 and the pressure relief valve stem 2 are integrally formed. The arc-shaped slot design can facilitate the separation of the pressure relief valve stem 2 and the sealing ring 3 without affecting the sealing performance. The integral forming design of the engaging part 201 and the pressure relief valve stem 2 increases stability.
[0028] like Figures 2-4 As shown: A cavity is formed inside the pressure relief valve body 1. A retaining edge 104 is provided on the inner wall of the pressure relief valve body 1. An outer retaining groove 302 matching the retaining edge 104 is provided on the outer wall of the sealing ring 3. The sealing ring 3 and the pressure relief valve body 1 are detachably connected by the cooperation of the retaining edge 104 and the outer retaining groove 302. In this embodiment, the retaining edge 104 is integrally formed and ring-shaped on the inner wall of the pressure relief valve body 1. The way the retaining edge 104 and the outer retaining groove 302 are connected facilitates the assembly and replacement of the product.
[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown: The top of the pressure relief valve body 1 has a through hole 102 for the movement of the pressure relief valve rod 2. The through hole 102 is connected to the air passage 103. The pressure relief valve rod 2 moves up and down in the through hole 102. The diameter of the locking part 201 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 102, which restricts the pressure relief valve rod 2 in the pressure relief valve body 1. When the pressure relief valve rod 2 is lifted by the air pressure, one end of it will extend to the outside through the through hole 102. The through hole 102 provides the pressure relief valve rod 2 with sufficient room to move.
[0030] like Figures 1-4As shown: A fixing nut 4 is provided on the outside of the pressure relief valve body 1. A receiving groove 401 is opened at the upper end of the fixing nut 4, and an O-ring is installed in the receiving groove 401. In this embodiment, the outer surface of the pressure relief valve body 1 is provided with an external thread that matches the fixing nut 4.
[0031] It also includes a pressure cooker lid with a pressure relief valve. The pressure cooker lid has a pressure relief hole. The pressure relief valve body 1 is installed at the pressure relief hole and locked in place by a fixing nut 4. In this embodiment, the fixing nut 4 is a hexagonal nut. When the pressure relief valve body 1 is installed on the pressure cooker lid, the O-ring fits into the pressure relief hole to increase the overall sealing.
[0032] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0033] This structure achieves automatic pressure relief through the cooperation of the pressure relief valve body 1, the pressure relief valve stem 2, and the sealing ring 3. Specifically, a pressure relief hole is provided on the pressure cooker lid. The pressure relief valve body 1 is installed and fixed to the pressure relief hole on the pressure cooker lid using a fixing nut 4, so that one end of the pressure relief valve rod 2 inside the pressure relief valve body 1 extends into the pressure cooker lid. During use, when the pressure limiting valve and safety valve of the pressure cooker fail, the pressure relief valve body 1 will start working. Due to the pressure inside the pot, the pressure relief valve rod 2, which is normally locked on the sealing ring 3 by the clutch mechanism, will move upward. When a specific pressure value is reached, the pressure relief valve rod 2 will disengage from the sealing ring 3, thereby allowing the air passage 103 inside the pressure relief valve body 1 to flow. At this time, the central venting valve rod 2 will be in the upward open state, and the gas will be exhausted outward through the air passage 103 and the exhaust hole 101 on the venting valve body 1, thus realizing the pressure relief operation. By setting this pressure relief valve on the pressure cooker lid, an additional means of pressure relief is added. When the pressure limiting valve fails, the pressure cooker still has the pressure relief function, thereby increasing the safety of the pressure cooker and solving the technical problem that the existing pressure cooker has a single method of venting and releasing pressure, which poses certain safety hazards.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
