[0002] The expansion tank is an important accessory of the automobile cooling system, and the pressure cover assembly is a key accessory of the expansion tank. In the prior art, the pressure relief nozzle of the pressure cover assembly is designed at the highest position above the pressure cover assembly, and is an integral structure with the body. When the installation space in the automobile is limited, the pressure relief position and direction of the pressure cover are fixed and limited, otherwise the surrounding components will be contaminated and damaged. Therefore, the positions of the starting point and the end point of the threads of the water tank need to be strictly controlled to ensure that the pressure relief nozzle can be at the correct fixed position after the cover is tightened, which brings great difficulty to the processing and assembly of the water tank.

In the scheme, the pressure cover and the pressure relief nozzle are provided as a split structure, and due to the small structure of the pressure relief nozzle, the number of installed sealing rings is limited, making the sealing between the pressure cover and the pressure relief nozzle relatively weak. The flow guide cavity is formed between the pressure cover and the valve core assembly, and only when the valve core assembly bears the internal pressure of the water tank exceeding the set threshold, the valve core assembly will open to allow the medium to enter the flow guide cavity. When installing the water tank pressure cover, adjusting the relative rotation between the pressure relief nozzle and the pressure cover can easily cause the sealing surface between the pressure relief nozzle and the pressure cover to fail. At this time, the internal pressure of the automobile water tank is normal, and no medium enters the flow guide cavity, so it cannot be ensured that the sealing between the pressure relief nozzle and the pressure cover of the water tank pressure cover is in a sealed state after installation, thus leaving a hidden danger.
