This invention relates to fluid pressure relief valves: and-more particularly to safety valve devices of the poppet type used in fluid pressure apparatus.
The principal object of .this .invention is to provide an improved safety valve device, in which the valve thereof will move quickly'to a wide open position immediately after the valve begins to open in response to a predetermined degree of fluid pressure, and which will move quickly and positively to its seat when the pressure has diminished acertain degree.
Another object is to provide a safety valve device of the poppet type which is capable of adjustment for operation over a wide range of .fluid valve-device embodying the improvements of this invention;
Fig. 2 is a sectional View taken on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1; and,
Inthe embodiment shown, the safety valve device comprises a valve body I, a spring housing 2, and a cap ' 3.
Provided in the body I is a bore 4 which may communicate by way of a passage 5 at the bottom of said bore with a reservoir or other fluid pressure element or port to be vented, in which reservoir or port the body is arranged to be mounted by means of an integral pipe-threaded nipple 6. Located in the periphery of the bore 4 near the bottom are a pair of small discharge ports 1 and alarge discharge port 8 which ports connect said bore to the atmosphere. At the top the bore 4 is open by-wayof an opening 9 in an endwall 9a of the'h'ousing' 2 to a spring chamber In in the housing '2 the spring chamber being always open to atmosphere by way of a plurality ofapertures Ht Located in diametrically opposite sides of the bore are two pressure ports- 12 which-may conduct fluid under "pressure from-the 2 bottom of the bore to a-pointlocated a short-distance below the top thereof.
For controlling communication between the passage 5 and the bore 4 a piston valve member 13 is slid'ably mounted in the bore 4', the lower end of the member being undercut and provided with a frusto-conical valve I4 for engagement with a corresponding valve seat l5 encircling the upper end'of the passage :5. The undercut produces a shoulder 16 which, as will hereinafter more fully appear, aids in accelerating the opening movement ofthe valve. As will be observed in Fig. 1, a piston portion l"! of the member l-3 is arranged to normally close the discharge ports 1 and 8 and to partially lap ofi bothends of the pressure ports ii. The upper face of the valve portion of the member I3 is provided with aconical recess Is for engagementwith a head I9 of a thrust stem 20.
The thrust stem :20 has an enlarged cylindrical portion 2|v at its: lower end to which the valve member I3 is sloosel-y-attached by means of a .pin 22 in atransverse opening 23 of the stem thepin being .retained place by a helical spring -24 which is .disposed in. a suitable peripheral slot provided in the member. Through the medium of a plug '25, upon which a spring '26 seats, .a downward pressure is exerted by the spring 26 on the portion 2! .of the thrust stem-20, thereby urging the .valve member l'3 toward its s-normal seated position in. which it-is shown in thedrawing. :It should be notedthat when the valve fl is in its normal closed position, there :is only -.a small clearance space between the plug 25 and the adjacent wall of the opening 9, the plug 25 thus helping to define a chamber 21 atthe top of the bore 4. The upper end of the stem-20 is slidably guided in a bore 28 of the cap 3 and terminates outside the safety valve device in a Tishaped handle '29 which is provided for manually unseating'the valve.
Thepressure of the spring 26 may be regulated by adjusting the position of the cap 3 .on the housing 2 by :meansof the screw-threads 311-. A check nut 31 is provided for locking the cap3 in its adjusted position.
In operation, when the pressure of fluid the reservoir 'or'port-tobe ventedand thus in passage SI-and acting over the exposed area of the-race ofvalve 14' is sufiicient to overcome the opposing pressure of the spring 26 which has been adjusted to the desired venting pressure, the valve 14' will be moved thereby away from the seat l5; When the valve 14 is raised slightly, fluid under pressure will then flow past the valve seat I 5 into the bore 4 beneath the valve member l3 and become effective over the full area of the face of the piston portion H. The resulting additional force exerted on the shoulder l6 accelerates the movement of the valve member l3 toward its wide open position. In the course of this movement of the member, fluid under pressure will be discharged to atmosphere by way of the large discharge port 8. Further movement of the valve member in this direction will uncover the discharge ports I in addition to opening the port 8 wider and at the same time will close the upper end of the ports l2.
It should here be mentioned that as soon as the valve [4 moves out of engagement with the seat IS, the movement of the valve member l3 to its extreme open position will be so rapid that it will lap the ports l2 where such ports communicate with the chamber 21, before the fluid which may flow therethrough can appreciably increase the pressure of fluid in this chamber. Further, the movement of the piston member will be so rapid that in an instant following the unseating of the valve 14 the plug 25 will be moved to a position to provide a relatively wide open communication between the chamber 21 and the atmospheric chamber In so that any tendency for the pressure of fluid to build up in chamber 21 is eliminated. From this it will be apparent that the chamber 21 will, during the opening movement of the valve member l3, be maintained at substantially atmospheric pressure. By thus preventing any material increase in the pressure of fluid in the chamber 2'! the snap action of the valve l4 toward its open position will be substantially unopposed by any fluid pressure which may flow to chamber 21 through the ports l2.
It is to be noted that the large discharge port in the wall of the bore 4 in the housing is located adjacent the bottom of the bore and in line with the upper edge of the valve seat l5, so that any water or dirt which may collect on the flat surface encircling the valve seat will be discharged therethrough to the exterior of the housing. Although fluid under pressure is discharged from the inlet passage as soon as the valve l4 unseats, it is not intended that this port alone serve to provide full discharge capacity, but rather, for the purpose of insuring the rapid movement or snap action of the piston valve to its full open position, it is desired that the full discharge capacity be provided only after the full area of the face of the piston valve has been subjected to the pressure of fluid in the inlet passage. In
the present embodiment of the invention this result is attained by the use of the two'supplementary discharge ports 1 which are each of such diameter and so arranged that they are lapped by the iston valve when the piston valve is seated and are each uncovered after the piston valve has moved a chosen distance following the unseating of the piston valve. It should here be mentioned that if the ports I were arranged so that they would serve to discharge fluid from the inlet passage 5 upon the initial unseating movement of the piston valve the amount of fluid discharged would be so great as to offset the benefit derived from the use of the shoulder it of the piston valve, thatis to say, the discharge would be such that it would materially slow down the quick movement of the piston valve to its full open position.
As the pressure in the passage 5 is reduced to approximately the closing pressure by reason of this venting of fluid, the spring 26 Will act through the medium of the plug 25 to move the valve member l3 toward the seated position in which it is shown. This movement permits the piston portion l! to again uncover the lapped ends of the pressure ports I2. Fluid under pressure will flow by way of these ports [2 from the space in the bore 4, below the piston valve member, to the chamber 21 above the piston valve member.
It will be apparent that the end of the plug 25 which is in engagement with portion 2| of the plunger stem, as it approaches or nears the wall 9a of the housing will restrict the flow area of the opening 9 in the flange so that when the piston member l3 uncovers the ports l2 the flow of fluid from these ports to chamber 21 will increase the pressure in this chamber, and when the end face of the plug moves into alignment with the upper face of the end wall 9a, the maximum restriction of the opening 9 is attained. At this time the flow of fluid from chamber 21 to the chamber 10 and thereby to the atmosphere will be at such a slow rate that the pressure of fluid in chamber 2'! will quickly substantially equalize with the pressure of fluid acting on the face 'of the valve [4. With the fluid pressures acting on opposite sides of the piston member I3 being substantially equal, the movement of the valve into engagement with its seat will be accelerated. It will here be understood that the pressure of fluid in chamber 2'! acts on the end face of the plug 25 in opposition to the force of spring 26 but since the area over which the fluid pressure acts is much less than the area of the face of the valve Hi this opposition will not materially affect the snap action of the valve member 13 to its closed or seated osition.
The fluid pressure remaining in the chamber 21 after the valve has been seated will be dispelled slowly to chamber ll] by way of the clearance space around the plug 25 in the opening 9 and thence to atmosphere by way of the apertures l l.
Having now described my inventi claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
