[0013] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0014] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a novel antifreeze valve technical solution: characterized in that it includes a three-way valve body 1, an antifreeze valve core assembly 2 is installed in the lower part of the three-way valve body 1, and an anti-vacuum valve core assembly 3 is installed in the upper part of the three-way valve body 1.

[0015] The antifreeze valve core assembly 2 includes an antifreeze valve core body 21, a spring 22 installed in the inner cavity of the antifreeze valve core body 21, a piston rod 24 installed above the spring 22, a sealing ring 23 below the piston rod 24, a thermal element 25 installed above the piston rod 24, an adjusting lock cap 26 installed above the thermal element 25, and a sealing ring 27 installed in the external thread groove of the antifreeze valve core body 21, which is threadedly connected and sealed to the three-way valve body 1.

[0016] The vacuum valve core assembly 3 includes a vacuum valve core body 31. A sealing ring 32 is installed in the external threaded groove of the vacuum valve core body 31 and is threadedly connected and sealed to the three-way valve body 1. A baffle 33 is installed in the inner cavity of the vacuum valve core body 31. A rubber gasket 34 is installed on the baffle 33. A vacuum valve core cap 36 is installed on the top of the vacuum valve core body 31. A sealing ring 35 is installed in the external threaded groove of the vacuum valve core cap 36.

[0017] Working principle:

[0018] The three-way valve body 1 is connected to the pipeline at both ends. When the equipment is working normally, the medium flows normally through the inlet and outlet 1A of the three-way valve body. Under the action of the internal medium pressure, the baffle 33 and rubber gasket 34 inside the anti-vacuum valve core assembly 2 move upward to block the leakage of the anti-vacuum valve core assembly. When the medium temperature gradually rises, the thermal element 25 expands and moves downward after sensing the temperature. The stress on the spring 22 increases and the free length of the spring shortens. The piston rod 24 moves downward with the spring. When the sealing ring 23 enters the inner hole of the anti-freeze valve core body 21, it blocks the outlet and no medium flows out.

[0019] When the equipment is shut down, the medium stops flowing or its temperature gradually decreases due to environmental changes. The thermal element 25 contracts upon sensing the temperature, reducing the stress on the spring 22 and increasing its free length. The piston rod 24 moves upward with the spring 22. When the sealing ring 23 disengages from the inner hole of the antifreeze valve core 21, the medium in the pipeline is discharged from the antifreeze valve core assembly - drain port 2A. After the medium is discharged, the pipeline cavity is under no pressure or negative pressure. The baffle 33 and rubber gasket 34 inside the anti-vacuum valve core assembly 2 move downward, allowing air to enter from the anti-vacuum valve core assembly - intake port 3A, effectively preventing a vacuum from forming inside the pipeline and preventing the medium from being discharged.

[0020] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
