In addition, the terms "include", "contain" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0028] In the description of the utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integrally connected; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or the communication between two elements. For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] A pressure relief valve according to an embodiment of the utility model will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0030] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 , a pressure relief valve according to an embodiment of the utility model comprises a valve body 1, a valve rod 2, a valve seat 3, a valve core 4, a reset driving element 5 and a control assembly.

[0031] The valve body 1 is hollowly formed with a valve cavity communicating between two ends. The valve rod 2 is arranged in the valve cavity and can move in the axial direction, referring to Figure 3 The angle of view, that is, the valve rod 2 can move left and right under the action of external force. The valve seat 3 is arranged on the outer side of the valve body 1 and fixedly connected with one end of the valve body 1. The valve core 4 is fixed on the valve rod 2, the valve seat 3 comprises a first bottom 6 and an annular adjusting part 7 connected with the outer edge of the first bottom 6, the first bottom 6 is formed with a through hole communicating with the valve cavity, and the valve core 4 is tightly attached to the first bottom 6 to close the opening of one end of the valve cavity when the valve core 4 is in the closed position, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 At this time, the pressure relief valve is in the closed state. Optionally, the first bottom 6 is provided with a sealing ring 8 on the side facing the valve core 4.

[0032] The circumferential edge of the valve core 4 cooperates with the inner wall of the annular adjusting portion 7, the side wall of the annular adjusting portion 7 is formed with the air inlet hole 9, and the minimum cross-sectional area of the medium flow channel containing the air inlet hole 9 and the valve cavity gradually increases during the movement of the valve core 4 away from the first bottom 6. In practical application, the area where the valve seat 3 is located is a "high pressure area", and the high pressure medium (gas or liquid) can enter the valve seat 3 through the air inlet hole 9 and make the valve core 4 tightly fit the first bottom 6, further avoiding leakage. Referring to Figure 3 Viewing from the perspective, when a leftward force is applied to the valve rod 2, such as pulling the valve rod 2 at the left side of the pressure relief valve or pushing the valve rod 2 at the right side of the pressure relief valve, the valve core 4 moves to the left side. During the movement of the valve core 4 to the left side, it gradually moves away from the first bottom 6, and because the circumferential edge of the valve core 4 cooperates with the inner wall of the annular adjusting portion 7, the high pressure medium cannot enter the valve cavity through the gap between the valve core 4 and the inner wall of the annular adjusting portion 7, or only a small amount of high pressure medium enters the valve cavity through the gap between the valve core 4 and the inner wall of the annular adjusting portion 7, and the high pressure medium or most of the high pressure medium enters the area surrounded by the valve core 4 and the valve seat 3 through the air inlet hole 9 of the side wall of the annular adjusting portion 7, and then enters the valve cavity. The total cross-sectional area of the air inlet hole 9 is less than or equal to the cross-sectional area of the remaining sections of the medium flow channel containing the air inlet hole 9 and the valve cavity except the air inlet hole 9 section, so the "minimum cross-sectional area of medium flow" during the flow of the high pressure medium through the air inlet hole 9 is the minimum cross-sectional area of the medium flow channel. During the movement of the valve core 4 to the left side, the "minimum cross-sectional area of medium flow" during the flow of the high pressure medium through the air inlet hole 9 gradually increases, that is, the minimum cross-sectional area of the medium flow channel gradually increases. Thus, the position of the valve core 4 relative to the valve seat 3 can be adjusted to adjust the pressure relief speed, and further adjust the medium pressure in the "high pressure area", such as adjusting (reducing) the air pressure in the "high pressure area".

[0033] It should be understood that when the number of air inlet holes 9 is 1, the total cross-sectional area of the air inlet hole 9 is the cross-sectional area of a single air inlet hole 9, and when the number of air inlet holes 9 is N, the total cross-sectional area of the air inlet hole 9 is the cross-sectional area of N air inlet holes 9.

[0034] The reset drive 5 is used to make the valve core 4 move towards the closed position and stay in the closed position. In an embodiment, the reset drive 5 can be a spring arranged in the valve cavity and abutting against the valve body 1 and the valve rod 2 at both ends. Referring to Figure 3 Viewing from the perspective, the reset drive 5 provides a rightward force to the valve core 4 to make the valve core 4 move to the right and stay in the closed position.

[0035] The operation assembly is installed on both ends of the valve rod 2, and axial force is applied to the operation assembly, so that the valve rod 2 is moved in the axial direction, and the position of the valve core 4 is changed. In an embodiment, the operation assembly includes a pulling operation component 10 and a pressing operation component 11, which are respectively installed on both ends of the valve rod 2. Specifically, the pulling operation component 10 is installed on one end of the valve rod 2 close to the valve seat 3, and the pressing operation component 11 is installed on the other end of the valve rod 2 away from the valve seat 3. In actual application, the pulling operation component 10 is in a “high-pressure area”, and the pressing operation component 11 is in a “low-pressure area”. Pulling the pulling operation component 10 or pressing the pressing operation component 11 can move the valve core 4 away from the first bottom 6, which is easy to operate and suitable for scenes requiring emergency pressure relief, such as oxygen cabins.

[0036] In order to facilitate the installation of the valve rod 2, the valve rod 2 can include a first rod body 12 and a second rod body 13 fixedly connected together. For example, the first rod body 12 and the second rod body 13 are fixedly connected in a threaded connection manner. Specifically, an outer peripheral wall of one end of the first rod body 12 is formed with external threads, and one end of the second rod body 13 is formed with a threaded hole. The first rod body 12 and the second rod body 13 both extend into the valve cavity, and the valve core 4 is fixed to the first rod body 12.

[0037] The pulling operation component 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the first rod body 12 located outside the valve body 1, and the pressing operation component 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the second rod body 13 located outside the valve body 1. Pulling the pulling operation component 10 or pressing the pressing operation component 11 can move the valve core 4 away from the first bottom 6. Preferably, the pressing operation component 11 and the pulling operation component 10 both adopt a mushroom-shaped structure.

[0038] The second rod body 13 cooperates with the inner wall of the valve cavity to enable the valve rod 2 to move smoothly. The second rod body 13 is formed with an exhaust passage 14 which communicates with the valve cavity and the outside of the valve body 1, and the exhaust passage 14 also serves as part of the medium flow channel. In an embodiment, the exhaust passage 14 can be a long strip-shaped groove formed in the axial direction on the outer peripheral wall of the second rod body 13.

[0039] One end of the valve body 1 away from the valve seat 3 can be fixed with a limiting seat 15, and a second bottom 16 of the limiting seat 15 is formed with a through hole which communicates with the valve cavity. When the valve core 4 is in a fully open position away from the first bottom 6, the pressing operation component 11 abuts against the limiting seat 15.

[0040] The side wall of the limiting seat 15 can be formed with an exhaust hole 17 which communicates with the exhaust passage 14. The exhaust hole 17 can reduce the force of the high-pressure medium acting on the pressing operation component 11 during the “pressure relief” process.

[0041] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the valve cavity is formed with an annular positioning groove 18, the valve stem 2 is provided with a positioning ball 19, and when the valve core 4 is in the fully open position away from the first bottom 6, the positioning ball 19 extends into the annular positioning groove 18. Thus, when the pressure relief valve is in the fully open state, the positioning of the valve core 4 is fixed by the cooperation of the positioning ball and the annular positioning groove 18, that is, the pressure relief valve is maintained in the fully open state without the need to hold the pull-type control 10 or press the press-type control 11 by hand.

[0042] In order to facilitate the installation of the pressure relief valve on the wall 30 of the oxygen cabin or the wall 30 of other devices, the outer side of the valve body 1 can be provided with a first stop ring 20 and a second stop ring 21 surrounding the outer peripheral wall of the valve body 1, and the first stop ring 20 and the second stop ring 21 can jointly abut against the wall 30 located therebetween.

[0043] Specifically, the valve body 1 comprises a valve body main body 22 and a locking sleeve 23, the outer peripheral wall of the valve body main body 22 is formed with external threads, and the inner peripheral wall of the locking sleeve 23 is formed with internal threads matched with the external threads of the outer peripheral wall of the valve body main body 22. The first stop ring 20 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the valve body main body 22, and the second stop ring 21 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the locking sleeve 23. The valve seat 3 is fixed to the valve body main body 22, and the limiting seat 15 is fixed to the locking sleeve 23.
