This invention involves a kind of breather valve, specifically for usage of tank cap, health care instruments and petrochemical equipment to keep the pressure balance.
So far, the relief valve is widely used on equipment for balancing the inner pressure, such as tank. The tank cap of gasoline engines we use now and diesel motors all adopt toner and absorbing foam to prevent gasoline or diesel from violation. However, it turns out to be less desired because that a large amount of violating gas is exhausted directory to atmospheric environment and causes pollution. Specifically, the occurrence of vibration, tilting, or even conversion during engine works will cause the outflow of a large amount of gas and gasoline, which leads to the severe pollution to air and environment, harm to people's health and even will cause death traps such as spontaneous combustion.
This invention is created for dressing a technical issue, that is to provide a tank cap for breather valve and its installation, which intends to balance the pressure inside of the tank installed with the tank cap, and at the same time, to keep gas and gasoline from outflow and assure the safety for usage.
Here are technical plans for solving the problem: a kind of breather valve with one-way air inlet and outlet parts, which are built on the valve body;
Mentioned one-way air inlet and outlet holes are made of elastic parts made of elastic materials, which will open the flowing passage when the pressure of each side are unbalanced.
The beneficial effect generated from this invention: achieving the function of environmental protection and usage safety, that is the cap installed with breather valve can prevent gasoline and violating gas from being exhausted when the tank is be placed upside down while one-way air inlet and outlet part stays closed. When pressure become low, the one-way air inlet hole will be opened to balance the pressure and assure the gasoline-providing; while the pressure increases because of high temperature which leads to a large amount of gas violation, then the one-way air outlet hole will exhaust gas until the the pressure becomes balanced in order to keep tank from breaking.
Furthermore, elastic parts mentioned is placed on the elastic slice, on which lie the cutting line that goes through two side of the valve body.
The benefit of this plan is: plain structure, low cost, safe to use and high quality. The elastic slice is made of elastic materials. Only when the pressure of two side of the valve body differentiate to a certain level will the cutting joint opens to increase or decrease the pressure. Normally, cutting edge is closed.
The elastic slice is integrated with the valve body.
The benefit of this plan is: The integration will be convenient to processing and decrease the default of usage.
And there is a groove on the elastic slice, in which is the cutting joint, and the benefit for this plan is: the bottom of groove has a large surface area and the groove part is thin, which is easy for conditioning the pressure according to the pressure inside and outside. The depth of groove needs to be designed according to the thickness of the valve body and the characteristics of elastic materials.
The groove presents a curve surface. The benefit of it is the large surface area of curve shape will increase the stress, making it easy for one-way air inlet to condition the pressure, while keeping a good transitivity and result of operation.
The elastic part is the bulging components placed on the valve body. Inside of the bulging part is hollow. There is a hole linking throughout two ends of valve body and hollow part. On top or side of the bulging part is the cutting-joint linking to the hollow part.
The benefit of this plan: the bulging part will be deformed and fitted after
Extrusion under the effect from its sides' differential gas pressure, hence for pressure inlet or outlet becoming easier. And the whole structure is plain and well-function.
The bulging part is in the shape of wedge.
The benefit is that the wedge shape makes the part more reliable and will achieve a better function.
The bulging part is integrated with the valve body.
The benefit is that this integrated structure will is simple with a better unity and more reliable function.
The one-way air inlet and outlet part is a combination of elastic slice or bulging part or of both of them.
The benefit of it is that both one-way air outlet or inlet part can be made of elastic slice that only needs to put groove in the elastic side at each side of the valve body.
In a similar way, one-way air inlet and out part can all be made into the bulging part for it possesses the feature of one-way air inlet or outlet. Thus, it can be installed on each side of two sides at the elastic slice on the one-way air inlet or outlet part.
Besides, the elastic slice and bulging part can be combined for usage. When the elastic slice works for gas exhaustion, the bulging part can be used for pressure increasing and gas inlet. Then, the bulging part should be placed towards the inside of tank, and the elastic slice and bulging part in the same side of the valve body. On the contrary, the elastic slice and bulging part should be placed on the same side of the valve body, and the bulging part should be placed towards the direction of gas exhaustion of the tank cap.
Furthermore, the valve body is in shape of circular panel. And on the end of one side of the valve body installs the ring bulging part.
The benefit is that the circular panel shape is convenient for design and assembling. The ring bulging assembling is more convenient for installment and usage.
The bulging assembling is integrated with valve body.
The benefit is the structure of integration is of well function, which is simple to manufacturing and of firm and reliable structure.
Furthermore, the bulging assembling is installed at the edge or border of the valve body.
The benefit is that it is flexible for installation placement and design.
A kind of tank cap, in which places a kind of breather valve for tank cap according to one of the technical plans above.
A kind of tank, on which installs a tank cap according to one of the technical planes above.
All numbers in figures represents:
1. Valve body; 2. Incision; 3: cutting joint; 4: bulging assembling; 5: bulging part; 6: hollow space; 7: groove.
Following is the description for principles and features of this invention on the basis of figures. All examples is only used for explaining this invention.
In
On one side of the valve body 1 installs a bulging part 5 for air inlet. The side faces the inside of tank after installment of breather valve.
The bulging part is in shape of wedge that is integrated with valve body 1 and possesses hollow space 6. One the valve body 1 is the hole that goes throughout two ends and links to the air outside with hollow space 6. Cutting joint 2 is on the top of bulging part 5. When the pressure on the side of valve body 1 installed with bulging part 5 is lower than the other side, the incision will open. On the contrary, the side of incision 2 in shape of wedge will be squeezed and fitted after extrusion under the effect of differential pressure so that to realize the function of one-way air inlet.
There are two grooves 7 on sides of valve body 1. The grooves 7, like the bulging part 5, are on the same side of valve body 1. The bottom of grooves 7 is curvy or, on which places the cutting joint that goes throughout the two sides of valve body 1. The bottom surface of grooves is large so that it can burden a larger weight and is convenient for one-way pressure decreasing. Besides, the thickness of grooves possesses good transitivity that makes a good operation. The depth of groove should be considered according to the demand and the field it uses to achieving the flexibility and elastic material choosing.
Two grooves 7 are placed on two sides of bulging part 5, which is only limited for this execution example. Technical persons in charge of this field can set one or more than 2 to meet the demand for satisfying pressure exhaustion. Similarly, the bulging part 5 also could be designed more. Both the placement of bulging part 5 and groove 7 can be put in different places to meet the demand.
As shown on
The tank cap installed with the breather valve mentioned above, should assure air tightness during operation so that prevent the gasoline from violation into the air, which will lead to pollution when the pressure is unbalanced. Incision 2 and cutting joint 3 is closed for avoid leaking when tank tilting or be upside down because of severe vibration or bumped condition during operation. Even be tiled or be placed upside down for a long time, which causes the cutting joint opens when the pressure inside of tank increasing, active carbon can absorb little leaking oil for safety and avoiding the risk derived from leaking.
Two execution examples mentioned above are only limited to illustration of structure and principle of breather valve. The bulging part on breather valve and elastic slice with groove 7 could be set under demand. For example: elastic slice and bulging part 5 is not limited to the integration structure with valve body 1, but also be used as hole for installment to place bulging part and elastic slice.
Besides, groove 7 and bulging part 5 can be both combined and separated. For example: one-way air inlet and outlet part on valve body 1 are all grooves on the elastic slice mentioned above, only assuring that these grooves are be placed on different side of the two side of the valve body.
One-way air inlet and outlet part can also be the bulging part 5 mentioned above. The bulging part 5 possesses the feature of one-way air inlet. Thus, it can be placed on different sides of two sides of the elastic slice on one-way air inlet and outlet part.
Moreover, when groove 7 exhausts gas to decrease pressure and bulging part inhales air to increase pressure, the bulging part should be placed towards the inside of tank, and the groove 7 on elastic slice and bulging part 5 should be on the same side of valve body. This structure is the same as the execution example 1.
Elastic slice can also serves for pressure increasing and bulging part for pressure decreasing. Both the elastic slice and bulging part should be placed on the same side of vale body, and bulging part 5 should be put toward the direction of exhaustion, which is on top of tank.
And another thing needs to be claimed is that breather valve is not limited to tank, but also for health care and gasoline equipment for petrochemical industry. All thing mentioned above are some good execution examples of this invention, but no limited to the version. Under the spirit and within the principle of this invention, any amendment, replacement and revision is including to the protective area of this invention.
