Abstract

The present invention relates to a safe valve for a high pressure regulator, which includes: a guide body coupled to a valve port prepared at a body of a high pressure regulator; a valve body couple to an upper end part of the guide body to open the valve port when the overpressure occurs in a state that the valve port is closed; a lower spring installed inside the valve body for providing elastic force to the valve body; and a discharging pipe couple to a lower part of the guide body for discharging the fuel upon an opening operation of the valve body, wherein a function for a relief valve to relieve the overpressure by discharging the fuel when the overpressure is generated inside the high pressure regulator and a function for a purge valve separated from the body to discharge fuel inside the high pressure regulator are integrally provided.

Claims (9)

1. A valve for a pressure regulator, the valve comprising: a guide body coupled to a valve port prepared at a body of the pressure regulator; a valve body coupled to an upper end part of the guide body to open the valve port when overpressure occurs in a state that the valve port is closed; a lower spring installed inside the guide body for providing elastic force to the valve body; a discharging pipe coupled to a lower part of the guide body for discharging fuel upon an opening operation of the valve body; and a separation preventing pin for preventing the discharging pipe from being completely separated from the guide body, wherein the valve is configured to relieve the overpressure by discharging the fuel when the overpressure occurs inside the pressure regulator, is configured to be separated from the body of the regulator to discharge the fuel inside the pressure regulator, and wherein the separation preventing pin is installed and penetrates through one side of the guide body, an inner end of the separation preventing pin protrudes into a moving space disposed between an annular rib disposed at an upper end part of the discharging pipe and a central part of the discharging pipe, and a movable distance of the discharging pipe from the guide body is limited within a height of the moving space.

2. The valve of claim 1 , wherein a lower end of the lower spring is supported against an upper end of the discharging pipe coupled to the guide body.

3. The valve of claim 1 , further comprising a pipe cap configured to be coupled to a lower end of the discharging pipe,

wherein the pipe cap is separated from the discharging pipe when pressure is equal to or greater than preset pressure so as to discharge the fuel in an overpressure state when the overpressure occurs, and

an inspection for the overpressure is achieved based on a separation of the pipe cap.

4. The valve of claim 2 , further comprising a pipe cap configured to be coupled to a lower end of the discharging pipe,

wherein the pipe cap is separated from the discharging pipe when pressure is equal to or greater than preset pressure so as to discharge the fuel in an overpressure state when the overpressure occurs, and

an inspection for the overpressure is achieved based on a separation of the pipe cap.

5. The valve of claim 3 , wherein one end portion of the pipe cap is coupled to an outer circumferential surface of the discharging pipe, and an opposite end portion of the pipe cap is connected to the discharging pipe by a connecting member connected to the pipe cap.
