Abstract
A pressure relief valve includes a bowl-shaped housing having a bottom wall and an annular sealing wall, wherein the sealing wall delimits a valve through-opening, and a jacket wall. A cover is provided for covering a housing opening of the housing opposite to the bottom wall, having a diaphragm holder extending in the direction of the bottom wall. A diaphragm is provided for covering the valve through-opening, wherein the diaphragm is connected to the diaphragm holder and disposes the diaphragm holder sealingly on the annular sealing wall such that the valve through-opening is closed.
Claims11
Pressure relief valve comprising:
- a bowl-shaped housing means having:
- a bottom wall comprising an annular sealing wall, wherein the sealing wall delimits a valve through-opening, and
- a jacket wall,
- a cover means for covering a housing opening of the housing means opposite to the bottom wall, and having a diaphragm holding means which extends in the direction of the bottom wall,
- a diaphragm means for covering the valve through-opening,
- wherein the diaphragm means is connected to the diaphragm holding means and is disposed sealingly on the annular sealing wall such that the valve through-opening is closed, wherein the diaphragm holding means tapers in the direction of the bottom wall and is an extension of the cover means,
- wherein at least three latching elements for securing to a carrier component are provided on the jacket wall in a radially circumferential manner and equidistant from one another, wherein each of the latching elements comprises a plurality of latching edges located above the bottom wall.
A pressure relief valve, comprising:
- a bowl-shaped housing having:
- a bottom wall comprising an annular sealing wall, wherein the sealing wall delimits a valve through-opening, and
- a jacket wall,
- a cover for covering a housing opening of the housing opposite to the bottom wall, and having a diaphragm holder extending in the direction of the bottom wall,
- a diaphragm for covering the valve through-opening, wherein the diaphragm is connected to the diaphragm holder and is disposed sealingly on the annular sealing wall such that the valve through-opening is closed;
- wherein the jacket wall includes a plurality of openings for pressure relief and the cover includes multiple through openings for pressure relief, and wherein a plurality of latching elements project outwardly from the jacket wall at locations above the bottom wall for securing the pressure relief valve to a carrier component.
