The gas cylinder valve includes a valve body and a valve core, a fluid channel is configured in the valve body, the valve core is slidably connected to an inner wall of the fluid channel. The flow-off of the fluid channel is achieved through a reciprocating movement of the valve core, thereby achieving an exhaust and an intake of the gas cylinder.
When a gas cylinder filled with dangerous goods such as nitrous oxide is transported, the gas cylinder valve closes an inner cavity of the gas cylinder, so that nitrous oxide and other dangerous goods are stored in the inner cavity of the gas cylinder and do not tend to overflow.
When a transport truck loaded with dangerous goods such as nitrous oxide is collided during transportation, valve rods of adjacent gas cylinder valves collide with each other and slide, such that the closed effect of the gas cylinder valve on the inner cavity of the gas cylinder disappears, nitrous oxide and other dangerous goods in the gas cylinder are easy to overflow from the gas cylinder valve, and a transport personnel tends to be poisoned by breathing in the nitrous oxide and other dangerous goods, which would jeopardize the health of the transport personnel.

When the inner cavity of the gas cylinder is filled with the gas, the elastic force of the elastic element drives the outer wall of the valve rod to abut against the first stepped surface to form a seal, making it difficult for the gas in the gas cylinder to overflow through the gas cylinder valve assembly, thereby ensuring a storage stability of the gas cylinder. When the gas cylinder is required to be transported, the staff breaks off the valve rod along the breaking zone of the cutting slot, such that the end of the valve rod is located in the cavity, thereby the adjacent valve rods don't tend to collide and squeeze with each other, which leads to a gas leakage, thereby ensuring the sealing stability of the gas cylinder valve assembly to the inner cavity of the gas cylinder during transportation, dangerous goods such as nitrous oxide in the gas cylinder are not easy to overflow from the gas cylinder valve assembly, and transport personnel are not easy to be poisoned by breathing in nitrous oxide and other dangerous goods, thus ensuring the health of the transport personnel.

By adopting the above technical solution, when the gas cylinder is inflated, the gas enters the cavity, and the gas pressure drives the valve rod to slide in the direction towards the one-way column, the end face of the one-way spring clamp abuts against the end face of the valve body, thereby preventing the outer wall of the valve rod from abutting against the end face of the one-way column, the gas passes through the cavity, the fluid channel, and the one-way hole in sequence and is stably injected into the inner cavity of the gas cylinder; when the gas cylinder is transported, the staff breaks off the valve rod along the breaking zone of the cutting slot, and partial valve rod connected with the one-way spring clamp is detached from the valve body. When the gas cylinder filled with dangerous goods such as nitrous oxide was exhausted, the outlaw wants to inject nitrous oxide gas into the exhausted gas cylinder, the gas pressure would drive the valve rod to slide, and the outer wall of the valve rod abuts against the end face of the one-way column to form a seal, achieving the separation of the fluid channel and the one-way hole, such that nitrous oxide gas cannot be stably injected into the gas cylinder again, thereby avoiding the reuse of the gas cylinder, thereby reducing the occurrence of illegal events by criminals and improving the stability of social security.

The elastic force of the elastic element 8 drives the seal section 22 to slide in the direction towards the first stepped surface 13, such that the end face of the seal section 22 abuts against the first stepped surface 13, tending to achieve a sealing trend.
Referring to FIG. 2, the valve body 1 is connected with an explosion-proof element 9 which is configured for depressurization when the gas pressure in the inner cavity of the fluid channel 12 is too high. The outer wall of the valve body 1 is defined with an explosion-proof cavity 16 for accommodating the explosion-proof element 9, the explosion-proof cavity 16 is a cylindrical cavity, and an axis of the explosion-proof cavity 16 is perpendicular to the axis of the fluid channel 12.

- assembling the explosion-proof element 9, wherein the sealing pad 92 and the safety sheet 91 are embedded in the explosion-proof cavity 16 in sequence, the clamping screw 93 is screwed to the inner wall of explosion-proof cavity 16, such that the end face of the clamping screw 93 abuts against the end face of safety sheet 91 for fixation and drives the end face of the safety sheet 91 to abut against the end face of sealing pad 92 to form a seal;
- mounting the gas cylinder valve assembly, wherein the third sealing ring 3 is coaxially sheathed on the outer wall of the valve body 1, the inner wall of the first threaded hole 14 is screwed to the gas cylinder, such that the outer wall of the third sealing ring 3 abuts against the outer wall of the valve body 1 to form a seal with the outer wall of the gas cylinder;
- using the gas cylinder valve assembly, wherein the gas is filled into the inner cavity of the gas cylinder through the gas cylinder valve assembly, and the end of the valve rod 2 is broken along the breaking zone of the cutting slot 231.
The implementation principle of the production process of the gas cylinder valve assembly in the embodiment of the present application is: the inner wall of the first threaded hole 14 is screwed to the gas cylinder to mount the gas cylinder valve assembly on the gas cylinder; and then dangerous goods such as nitrous oxide are injected into the cavity 11, such that the gas pressure in the cavity 11 increases and drives the valve rod 2 to slide in the direction towards the fluid channel 12, thereby a tightness between the valve rod 2 and the first stepped surface 13 disappears, the gas flows through the cavity 11 and the fluid channel 12 in sequence, and is injected into the inner cavity of the gas cylinder to achieve the gas filling; before transporting the gas cylinder, the staff breaks the valve rod 2 along the breaking zone of the cutting slot 231, such that the partial valve rod 2 connected with the one-way spring clamp 51 is detached from the valve body 1, when the gas cylinder filled with dangerous goods such as nitrous oxide is exhausted, some outlaws want to inject nitrous oxide gas into the exhausted gas cylinder, the gas pressure drives the valve rod 2 to slide, the outer wall of the valve rod 2 abuts against the end face of the one-way column 52 to form a seal, thereby achieving the separation of the fluid channel 12 and the one-way hole 521, the nitrous oxide gas cannot be stably injected into the gas cylinder again, thereby avoiding the reuse of the gas cylinder, thereby reducing the occurrence of illegal events.
The above are the preferred embodiments of the present application, which are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
