[0029] Example 1
[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 7This embodiment provides a pressure relief valve for protecting oil-immersed electrical equipment, including a valve body 100. The valve body 100 includes a valve seat 101, a valve cover 102, a valve cap 103, and a junction box 104. The valve cover 102 is sleeved on the top of the valve seat 101, and the valve cap 103 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve cover 102. The junction box 104 is provided on the outer wall of the valve cover 102, and several sets of pressure relief ports 102a are opened on the outer wall of the valve cover 102. A liquid inlet is provided through the bottom of the valve seat 101. A pressure relief mechanism 200 includes a threaded rod 201, a fixed plate 202, a diaphragm plate 203, and a signal rod 204. The valve seat 101 has several sets of threaded rods 201 on its top. The sets of threaded rods 201 are connected to a fixed plate 202 by bolts. The bottom of the fixed plate 202 is connected to a first spring. The other end of the first spring is connected to a diaphragm 203. The top of the outer wall of the diaphragm 203 is provided with a signal rod 204. The signal rod 204 is slidably connected inside the fixed plate 202 and inside the valve cover 103. The negative pressure mechanism 300 includes a diaphragm 203, a valve plate 301 and a negative pressure plate 302. The valve plate 301 is rotatably connected inside the diaphragm 203 and the negative pressure plate 302 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the diaphragm 203.
[0031] The diaphragm 203 is disposed among several sets of threaded rods 201, and the diaphragm 203 is placed on top of the valve seat 101 and closes the inlet.
[0032] The fixed plate 202 is slidably connected to several sets of threaded rods 201 by bolts. The fixed plate 202, diaphragm 203, signal rod 204 and valve body 100 are all coaxially arranged. The height of the fixed plate 202 can be changed by bolts, and the elastic force of the first spring can be controlled by changing the height of the fixed plate 202 to adapt to the pressure relief requirements of the diaphragm 203 under different conditions.
[0033] A sealing ring is provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the diaphragm plate 203, and the bottom edge of the outer wall of the diaphragm plate 203 is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the valve cover 102.
[0034] A first through groove 203a is provided through the top of the outer wall of the diaphragm disc 203, and a second through groove 301a is provided through the center of the top of the outer wall of the valve disc 301. A connecting bolt 302a is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the outer wall of the negative pressure disc 302. The connecting bolt 302a passes through the first through groove 203a and the second through groove 301a in sequence. The valve disc 301 is rotatably connected inside the inner groove 203b of the diaphragm disc 203.
[0035] A limiting ball is provided on the outer wall of the connecting bolt 302a, and a spiral limiting groove 301b is provided on the inner wall of the second through groove 301a. The limiting ball is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 301b. When the connecting bolt 302a slides up and down inside the second through groove 301a, the valve disc 301 is driven to rotate inside the inner groove 203b by the sliding of the limiting ball inside the limiting groove 301b.
[0036] A first negative pressure port 203c is provided at the top of the outer wall of the diaphragm plate 203 at a non-axial position, and a second negative pressure port 301c is provided at the top of the outer wall of the valve plate 301 at a non-axial position. When a negative pressure occurs inside the oil tank, gas can pass through the first negative pressure port 203c and the second negative pressure port 301c in sequence to complete the pressurization of the oil tank.
[0037] A limiting rod 203d is provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the membrane plate 203. A connecting hole 302b is provided through the outer wall of the negative pressure plate 302. The limiting rod 203d passes through the connecting hole 302b. A second spring 203e is connected to the outer wall of the limiting rod 203d. The other end of the second spring 203e is fixedly connected to the negative pressure plate 302.
[0038] Working principle: Under normal circumstances, the diaphragm 203 is pressed against the outlet of the valve seat 101 by the elastic force provided by the first spring, thus sealing the outlet. When the pressure inside the oil tank is too high, the pressure inside the oil tank will be transmitted to the diaphragm 203 through the inlet, causing the diaphragm 203 to move the negative pressure mechanism 300 upward. The excess pressure inside the oil tank will be discharged through the pressure relief port 102a. When the diaphragm 203 moves upward, it will also move the signal rod 204 upward, thus serving as a warning. When the pressure inside the oil tank is too low, the pressure inside the oil tank will... This causes the negative pressure plate 302 to move downwards. When the negative pressure plate 302 moves downwards, the connecting bolt 302a slides up and down inside the second through groove 301a of the valve plate 301, and causes the limiting ball to slide inside the limiting groove 301b. This causes the valve plate 301 to rotate inside the inner groove 203b of the diaphragm plate 203. When the valve plate 301 rotates to the point where the second negative pressure port 301c coincides with the first negative pressure port 203c, the external gas will pass through the first negative pressure port 203c, the second negative pressure port 301c and the gap between the diaphragm plate 203 and the negative pressure plate 302 in sequence to complete the pressure passage.
