With continued reference to fig. 2 and 3, in the present embodiment, the lower valve body 2 is formed with a lower chamber 201, a first lower through hole 202, and a second lower through hole 203, which communicate in this order, along the axial direction, and is formed with an intake passage 204 and an exhaust passage 205 along a lateral direction perpendicular to the axial direction. The diameter of the first lower through hole 202 is smaller than that of the second lower through hole 203, and the first lower through hole 202 may be a stepped hole or a straight hole.

Wherein, the mounting end 102 of the upper valve body 1 is connected with the lower valve body 2, for example, can be fixedly connected with the lower valve body 2 through bolts.

Thus, the piston 5 is elastically supported in the chamber formed by the upper piston chamber and the lower piston chamber and can move up and down along the chamber. In an exemplary embodiment, the piston 5 may include a base, a head disposed upwardly along the base, the head having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the base, and a connecting portion disposed downwardly along the base, the connecting portion having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the head. The base body is arranged in the lower piston cavity 206, the head part is movably connected with the second upper through hole 106, and the connecting part is inserted into the first lower through hole 202 to be contacted with the valve core 6. In one example, the lower end of the connection portion may be formed in a stepped structure, and to this end, the first lower through hole 202 may be formed in a stepped hole opposite to the stepped structure, i.e., include a lower end hole and an upper end hole having different diameters, the lower end hole having a smaller diameter than the upper end hole, and the lower end hole and the upper end hole may be connected by an inclined surface.

When the upper end of the valve core 6 is in a contact state with the valve seat 207, the second lower through hole 203 is not communicated with the first lower through hole 202; when the upper end of the valve core 6 is separated from the valve seat 207, the second lower through hole 203 is communicated with the first lower through hole 202, at this time, gas can enter the second lower through hole 203 through the gas inlet channel, enter the first lower through hole 202 through the annular gap between the valve core 6 and the valve seat 207, and then sequentially pass through the lower piston cavity and the gas outlet channel to be discharged, and the gas flow path can be shown as a black area in fig. 4. Further, the lower end of the spool 6 is formed with a cavity 601, and a return spring 9 is disposed in the cavity 601. In addition, two obliquely arranged communication holes 602 communicating the second lower through hole 203 and the cavity 601 are formed on the valve body 6 so that the gas of the gas inlet passage can quickly reach the cavity 601. The clearance between the lower end of the valve element 6 and the stopper 7 may be set according to actual conditions, and is an empirical value.

In one exemplary embodiment, the seal may be an O-ring seal.

The working principle of the pressure reducing valve of the embodiment is as follows:

when the pressure reducing valve of the present embodiment is in a non-operating state, i.e., in a closed state, as shown in fig. 2, the valve element 6 contacts the valve seat 207 of the lower valve body 2 and seals the first lower through hole 202, and the pressure of the air outlet channel of the pressure reducing valve is not built up.

When the pressure reducing valve needs to be adjusted, namely the pressure reducing valve is in a working state, the adjusting rod 4 is moved downwards by rotating the handle 3, the adjusting spring 8 is pressed, the piston 5 is pushed to move downwards, the valve core 6 is pushed to move downwards, the valve core 9 is separated from the valve seat 207, and high-pressure gas is throttled through the annular area between the valve core 6 and the valve seat 207, so that the pressure reducing purpose is achieved. When the outlet pressure of the air outlet channel reaches the preset value, the handle 3 stops rotating, and one-time pressure reduction operation is completed.

The self-feedback regulating type pressure reducing valve provided by the embodiment has at least the following advantages:

1) the embodiment of the utility model provides a relief pressure valve promotes the piston downstream through the outlet pressure combined action of spring and relief pressure valve and realizes the decompression function, compares in current relief pressure valve and realizes pressure adjustment through the spring completely, can use the relatively less spring force to realize the regulation of higher pressure behind the relief pressure valve to operating force when can reducing the manual operation handle.

2) Because the outlet pressure of the pressure reducing valve is adjusted by the combined action of the adjusting spring and the outlet pressure of the pressure reducing valve, before the pressure reducing valve works, namely the pressure reducing valve is not communicated with the high-pressure gas cylinder, the opening degree of the pressure reducing valve is only completed by the adjusting spring, and when the pressure reducing valve works, along with the rise of the outlet pressure, the piston continues to push the valve core under the action of the outlet feedback pressure, so that the opening degree is gradually increased, and the outlet pressure immediately reaches the required pressure. Therefore, the pressure at the outlet of the pressure reducing valve is gradually increased, so that the impact of the high-pressure gas on the downstream of the pressure reducing valve at the moment when the pressure reducing valve is communicated with the high-pressure gas cylinder can be reduced to a certain extent.

3) The piston backpressure chamber of current relief pressure valve communicates with each other with external environment, and at this moment, the pressure in piston backpressure chamber is the ordinary pressure, consequently, after pressure-reducing valve outlet pressure transfers service pressure, goes upward to vacuum environment after along with the rocket when the relief pressure valve, and the pressure in piston backpressure chamber becomes 0, and pressure after the relief pressure valve also can reduce 0.1MPa thereupon, the utility model provides a piston backpressure chamber of relief pressure valve can realize through O shape circle is sealed with external environment's isolation, consequently, pressure-reducing valve outlet pressure's regulation does not receive external environment's influence, no matter is ground state or at the orbit vacuum state, and pressure can remain unchanged all the time behind the relief pressure valve.

4) The piston backpressure chamber of current relief pressure valve communicates with each other with external environment, and at this moment, the pressure in piston backpressure chamber is the ordinary pressure, and consequently, current relief pressure valve outlet pressure can not be adjusted to being less than 0.1MPa (absolute pressure), the utility model provides a piston backpressure chamber and the relief pressure valve export of relief pressure valve are linked together, do not receive external environment's influence, consequently, relief pressure valve outlet pressure can be adjusted to being less than 0.1MPa (absolute pressure).
