High-pressure tank
The high pressure tank includes a tank body, a valve, and a handle unit. The valve includes a first body provided with a first housing hole and a first communication hole communicating with the first communication hole, a second body provided with a second communication hole communicating with the first housing hole and a second housing hole communicating with the second communication hole, a connector portion provided with a through hole communicating with the second housing hole, a second valve disc blocking the communication between the through hole and the second housing hole and allowing the communication between the through hole and the second housing hole by the pushing force of the pushing pin, and a handle portion that can be fitted into the handle receiving groove on the gas supply target side. The first valve disc opens and closes with an operation of twisting the handle unit.
1. A high-pressure tank, comprising:
a tank body that stores gas;
a valve mounted to the tank body; and
a handle unit attached to an opposite side of the tank body from the valve, wherein
the valve includes
a first body mounted in a boss portion of the tank body and having, inside the first body, a first communication hole and a first housing hole, the first communication hole communicating with inside of the tank body, and the first housing hole communicating with the first communication hole and having a larger diameter than the first communication hole,
a second body having, inside the second body, a second communication hole and a second housing hole and including a first valve disc, the second communication hole communicating with the first housing hole, the second housing hole communicating with the second communication hole and having a larger diameter than the second communication hole, and the first valve disc being housed in the first housing hole and configured to block or allow communication between the first housing hole and the first communication hole,
a connector portion connected to the second body and having, inside the connector portion, a through hole communicating with the second housing hole, the connector portion being configured to be fitted in a gas supply target to which the gas is to be supplied,
a second valve disc housed in the second housing hole, the second valve disc being configured to block communication between the through hole and the second housing hole by a biasing force of a spring, and configured to allow the communication between the through hole and the second housing hole by a pushing force of a pushing pin of the gas supply target, and
a handle portion protruding from the second body in a radial direction of the tank body, the handle portion being configured to be fitted in a handle receiving groove of the gas supply target when the high-pressure tank is fitted in the gas supply target via the connector portion, and
with the handle portion fitted in the handle receiving groove of the gas supply target, the first valve disc blocks or allows the communication between the first housing hole and the first communication hole with an operation of twisting the handle unit.
