By opening the manual valve V ₁ , high-pressure fire-extinguishing water on the primary side 1 a flows into the lower chamber 3 of the cylinder C from the primary pressure inlet 5.

The high-pressure fire-extinguishing water that has flowed in flows out of the first small hole A provided in the piston 2 into the upper chamber 4 of the cylinder C. The area of the primary pressure inlet 5 provided in the lower chamber 3 is reduced by the area of the first small hole A. Because it is much larger, the lower chamber 3 of the cylinder C accumulates.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing an operation state.

In the figure, V is a valve main body having a valve seat S whose primary side 1a and secondary side 1b are opened and closed by a main valve 7, C is a cylinder, and 2 is an interior so as to reciprocate up and down in the cylinder C. The pistons 3 and 4 are divided into an upper chamber and a lower chamber separated by the piston 2 of the cylinder C.
Is a primary fluid inlet provided in the lower chamber 3 of the cylinder C, the primary side 1a of the valve main body V through the manual valve V ₁
The piston 2 is provided with a first small hole A communicating the lower chamber 3 and the upper chamber 4, and the diameter of the first small hole A is much smaller than the diameter of the primary pressure inlet 5.

The pressure in the lower chamber 3 of the cylinder C is much larger. The accumulated pressure becomes a force for pushing up the piston 2. Since the area of the main valve 7 is smaller than the area of the piston 2, the main valve 7 is pushed upward and “opened” against the spring force of the coil spring 14.

Then, the high-pressure fire-extinguishing water on the primary side 1a flows through the gap between the valve seat S and the main valve 7 to the secondary side 1b where the ejector 10 is provided.

This differential pressure ΔP is a force for pushing the piston 2 further upward. This pushing force works downward,
That is, the force becomes greater than the sum of the spring force of the coil spring 14 and the weight of the main valve 7 and the piston 2, and the main valve 7 moves (ups) until it hits the stopper 15a, and is fully opened.

[0023] In Thus, close manual valves V _1, in conjunction with the main valve 7 piston stem 8 and the piston 2 descends by the return spring force of the coil spring 14, the cylinder C
The fire extinguishing water filled in the lower chamber 3 flows into the upper chamber 4 of the cylinder C from the first small hole A provided in the piston 2, passes through the third small hole E provided in the upper chamber 4 via the conduction pipe 16. The gas is discharged to the secondary side 1b of the valve main body V, the seat ring 9 provided on the main valve 7 comes into close contact with the valve seat S, and the pressure release valve is completely closed.

Therefore, no drain pipe or pressure regulating valve is required for draining the fire extinguishing water remaining in the lower chamber 3 and the upper chamber 4 into sewage or the like, and the pressure release valve can be reliably opened and closed. .

A pressurized release valve that can reliably perform the opening and closing operation without any need for the above is obtained.

FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a third embodiment of the present invention in which an orifice-shaped ejector 10 is provided on the secondary side 1b of the valve main body V. Integral with the secondary side 1b of V
Alternatively, a pressurized release valve that does not require any drainage pipe or pressure regulating valve for draining fire extinguishing water remaining in the lower chamber 3 and the upper chamber 4 to sewage or the like is provided at a lower cost by being detachably provided. I can do it.

FIG. 5 shows a cylinder C above the valve main body V.
FIG. 9 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a fourth embodiment of the present invention provided with
By providing the cylinder C on the upper side of the valve main body V in this manner, for example, when the pressure release valve of the present invention is installed in a manhole type upper open storage space, the lid 15 can be simply removed.
