[0031] Example 1
[0032] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a flame arrestor breathing valve includes a valve body 1. Multiple guide rods 4 are evenly installed in the inner circumference of the valve body 1. An exhalation valve disc assembly 3 is slidably connected in the middle of the multiple guide rods 4. The lower end of the exhalation valve disc assembly 3 abuts against the valve body 1. An inhalation valve disc assembly 2 is slidably connected in the middle of the exhalation valve disc assembly 3. An upper spring seat 11 is installed on the inhalation valve disc assembly 2. A spring 12 is provided between the exhalation valve disc assembly 3 and the upper spring seat 11.
[0033] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: The flame-arresting breather valve is installed on the storage tank. When the storage tank is fed or the temperature rises, the pressure inside the tank increases. When the pressure exceeds the set exhalation pressure, the gas inside the tank pushes the exhalation valve disc assembly 3 upward. The exhalation valve disc assembly 3 moves upward along the guide rod 4 to open, allowing the gas inside the tank to be discharged. The pressure inside the tank is released, and the pressure decreases. Under the action of its own gravity, the exhalation valve disc assembly 3 falls back downward along the guide rod 4 until the pressure inside the tank is the same as the external air pressure. The lower end of component 3 rests against valve body 1 again; when the storage tank discharges material or the temperature drops, the pressure inside the storage tank decreases, and external gas enters valve body 1. The external gas pushes the intake valve disc assembly 2 downward, the upper spring seat 11 moves down, the spring 12 is compressed, and external gas enters the storage tank, the pressure inside the storage tank is replenished, and the pressure rises. Under the action of the elastic force of spring 12, the intake valve disc assembly 2 is pulled upward by spring 12 until the pressure inside the storage tank is the same as the external air pressure. After the intake valve disc assembly 2 moves upward, it rests against the lower end of the exhalation valve disc assembly 3 again.
[0034] Multiple guide rods 4 guide the exhalation valve disc assembly 3 to move up and down, making the exhalation valve disc assembly 3 more stable when opening or closing, and eliminating concerns about the guide rods deforming or bending.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] like Figure 1-8As shown, the upper end of the valve body 1 is provided with a flame arresting grid assembly 7, the flame arresting grid assembly 7 is provided with an annular protective net 8, and a rain cover 9 is provided on the outside of the flame arresting grid assembly 7 and the protective net 8, with the front end of the protective net 8 abutting against the side wall of the rain cover 9.
[0037] The rain cover 9 is provided with a plurality of support rods 10. One end of the support rod 10 passes through the rain cover 9, and the other end passes through the protective net 8 and the fire arrestor grid assembly 7, and is threadedly fixed to the valve body 1.
[0038] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: The flame-arresting breather valve is installed on the storage tank. The storage tank and the exhalation valve disc assembly 3 form chamber one 30. The exhalation valve disc assembly 3 and the flame-arresting grid assembly 7 form chamber two 31. The flame-arresting grid assembly 7 and the rain cover 9 form chamber three 32. When the storage tank is fed or the temperature rises, the pressure inside the storage tank increases. When the pressure exceeds the set exhalation pressure, the gas inside the storage tank enters chamber one 30 and pushes the exhalation valve disc assembly 3 upward. The gas inside the storage tank enters chamber two 31, then passes through the flame-arresting grid assembly 7 into chamber three 32, and is discharged through the protective net 8. When the storage tank is discharged or the temperature drops, the pressure inside the storage tank decreases. External gas enters the valve body 1, passes through the protective net 8 into chamber three 32, passes through the flame-arresting grid assembly 7 into chamber two 31, and pushes the intake valve disc assembly 2 downward. External gas enters chamber one 30 and then into the storage tank to replenish the pressure inside the storage tank.
[0039] The rain cover 9 prevents rainwater from falling onto the fire barrier assembly 7, which could corrode the fire barrier assembly 7 and shorten its service life.
[0040] Protective net 8 allows gas to circulate and prevents impurities from entering chamber three;
[0041] If a fire breaks out outside the valve body 1, the flame arrestor assembly 7 prevents external flames from entering the storage tank. The flame arrestor assembly 7 can be modularly assembled inside the valve body 1, making it easy to disassemble and install, and has the advantages of easy cleaning and maintenance.
[0042] Example 3
[0043] like Figure 1-8 As shown, two nuts 5 are threadedly connected to the guide rod 4. The two nuts 5 abut against the upper and lower sides of the limiting block 6 respectively. One end of the limiting block 6 is sleeved on the guide rod 4, and the other end of the limiting block 6 is located above the exhalation valve disc assembly 3.
[0044] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: by rotating the two nuts 5, the limit block 6 can be adjusted up and down, which makes it easy to accurately set the opening height of the exhalation valve disc assembly 3 and avoid the valve disc not being fully opened due to the opening height being too low, thus affecting the gas flow during exhaust.
[0045] Example 4
[0046] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a lubrication device 13 is provided at the sliding connection between the inhalation valve disc assembly 2 and the exhalation valve disc assembly 3;
[0047] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: the lubrication device 13 can reduce the friction between the inhalation valve disc assembly 2 and the exhalation valve disc assembly 3, so that the inhalation valve disc assembly 2 can move more smoothly and open more quickly, preventing it from jamming during operation.
[0048] The lubrication device 13 can be made of PTFE plastic ring.
[0049] Example 5
[0050] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a drain device 14 is provided on the side of the valve body 1, and a plug 15 is threadedly connected to the end of the drain device 14.
[0051] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: The sewage discharge device 14 is a pipe with a thread on one end. The unthreaded end of the pipe is welded to the side of the valve body 1. During normal operation, the plug 15 is threadedly connected to the threaded end of the pipe. The plug 15 is used to block the side of the valve body 1. When maintaining and cleaning the internal parts of the breather valve, the plug 15 is removed for sewage discharge.
[0052] Example 6
[0053] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the exhalation valve disc assembly 3 includes an exhalation valve disc 22, which is slidably connected between multiple guide rods 4. Multiple counterweights 20 are stacked on the exhalation valve disc 22 and fixed to the exhalation valve disc 22 by fastening bolts. A spring 12 is disposed between the exhalation valve disc 22 and the upper spring seat 11.
[0054] The lower end of the exhalation valve disc 22 is provided with a backflush edge 24, and a sealing element 23 is provided between the exhalation valve disc 22 and the backflush edge 24. The exhalation valve disc 22, the sealing element 23 and the backflush edge 24 are fixedly connected by a fastener 21, and the lower side of the sealing element 23 abuts against the valve body 1.
[0055] The working principle of the above technical solution: When exhalation is not required in the storage tank, the exhalation valve disc 22 is pressed tightly against the valve body 1 under the gravity of the counterweight 20. It can be adjusted in various ways, such as a single thick ring, multiple thin rings, or a ring composed of multiple sets of fan-shaped plates, which facilitates pressure adjustment.
[0056] Fastener 21 can be a fastening bolt. A sealing element 23 is provided between the exhalation valve disc 22 and the valve body 1. The sealing element 23 can improve airtightness and prevent the gas in chamber 1 and chamber 2 from flowing freely.
[0057] Example 7
[0058] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the inhalation valve disc assembly 2 includes an inhalation valve rod 25, a lubrication device 13 is provided at the sliding connection between the inhalation valve rod 25 and the exhalation valve disc 22, an upper spring seat 11 is installed on the inhalation valve rod 25, an inhalation valve disc 29 is sleeved on the inhalation valve rod 25, the inhalation valve disc 29 is fixed to the lower end of the inhalation valve rod 25 by a locking nut 26, a pressure plate 27 and a second sealing element 28 are provided between the locking nut 26 and the inhalation valve disc 29, and the second sealing element 28 abuts against the lower end of the exhalation valve disc 22;
[0059] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: the second seal 28 abuts against the lower end of the exhalation valve disc 22, and the second seal 28 increases the airtightness between the inhalation valve disc assembly 2 and the exhalation valve disc assembly 3.
[0060] By rotating the nut on the intake valve rod 25 and located at the upper end of the upper spring seat 11, the upper spring seat 11 is moved up or down on the intake valve rod 25, thereby changing the elastic force of the spring 12. The vacuum opening pressure inside the breathing valve can be precisely set, which is simple and quick.
[0061] The suction valve rod 25 has an inverted T-shaped structure, and the lower end of the suction valve disc 29 directly abuts against the suction valve rod 25. Compared with the locking structure with a nut at the lower end of a single screw, the suction valve rod 25 in this solution is more reliable because the lower end of the suction valve disc 29 abuts against the nut, which can prevent the nut from loosening and falling into the storage tank.
[0062] Example 8
[0063] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the fire barrier assembly 7 includes a bracket 17, which is fixed between the valve body 1 and the protective net 8 by a support rod 10. The fire-arresting element 18 and the pressure plate 19 are fixed to the lower end of the bracket 17 by fasteners 16 in sequence.
[0064] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: Both the bracket 17 and the pressure plate 19 have large-area perforations to facilitate the passage of gas through the bracket 17 and the pressure plate 19. The bracket 17 and the pressure plate 19 support the flame arrestor element 18. The fastener 16 is used to fix the bracket 17, the flame arrestor element 18 and the pressure plate 19 together. The flame arrestor element 18 prevents external flames from entering the valve body 1, thereby preventing flames from entering the storage tank.
