The fluid in the inner cavity 11 of the valve body 10 directly contacts with the sealing element 20, the fluid medium transmits pressure to the sealing element 20, one end of the sealing element 20 is under the pressure of the fluid medium, and the other end of the sealing element is under the elastic force of the elastic element 50, when the pressure of the fluid medium is smaller than the elastic force of the sealing element 20, namely the pressure of the fluid medium is lower than the preset pressure value of the safety valve 100, the sealing element 20 is fixed in the valve body 10 by the extrusion of the elastic element 50, and the safety valve 100 is closed; when the pressure of the fluid medium is greater than the elastic force applied to the sealing element 20, that is, the pressure of the fluid medium is higher than the preset pressure value of the safety valve 100, the sealing element 20 is pushed open by the fluid medium, the inner cavity 11 in the valve body 10 is communicated with the pressure relief opening 12, the fluid medium is discharged outwards through the pressure relief opening 12, and the pressure of the fluid medium is reduced; when the pressure of the fluid medium drops to a value lower than the preset pressure value of the safety valve 100, the sealing member 20 overcomes the pressure of the fluid medium under the elastic force of the elastic member 50, seals the inner cavity 11, and isolates the inner cavity 11 from the pressure relief port 12, thereby completing the pressure relief process.
The manual pressure relief process of the pressure of the safety valve 100 is briefly described as follows:
The user controls the operation element 60 to rotate, because the first protrusion 63 in the operation element 60 and the inclined plane platform 43 on the seal seat 40 are in contact with each other in an inclined plane manner, the first protrusion 63 abuts against the inclined plane platform 43, and because the seal seat 40 cannot rotate circumferentially under the limitation of the fastener 30, the seal seat can only extend back and forth along the axial direction of the seal seat, and along with the rotation of the operation element 60, the first protrusion 63 in the operation element 60 abuts against the inclined plane platform 43 at different positions, so that the inclined plane platform 43 is raised/lowered, and the operation process that the rotation of the operation element 60 drives the seal seat 40 to move back and forth is realized; when the sealing seat 40 moves away from the valve body 10, the sealing member 20 is separated from the valve body 10 under the driving of the sealing seat 40, so that the inner cavity 11 and the pressure relief opening 12 in the valve body 10 are communicated with each other, and the safety valve 100 discharges fluid medium outwards, thereby completing the manual pressure relief process.
According to the safety valve 100 provided by the invention, one end of the elastic element 50 abuts against the operating element 60, and the other end abuts against the sealing seat 40, and the elastic element has consistent installation positions, so that a complicated adjustment process that the pressure value can be adjusted and controlled only by adjusting the height of the elastic element 50 is simplified, and the safety valve is simple in structure and convenient to install.
