Abstract

A cylinder valve includes a valve body, a valve pin, and an elastic biasing member. The valve body includes a distal chamber, a proximal chamber disposed along a main axis, and an intermediate chamber extending along the main axis between the distal chamber and the proximal chamber. The valve pin is movably arranged through the distal chamber, the proximal chamber and the intermediate chamber and is movable along the main axis between a closed position and an open position. The elastic biasing member is arranged in the distal chamber and is configured to elastically bias the valve pin towards the closed position.

Dependent claims

A cylinder valve comprising:

a valve body including a distal chamber, a proximal chamber disposed along a main axis, and an intermediate chamber extending along the main axis between the distal chamber and the proximal chamber, wherein the distal chamber defines a first inner diameter radially along the main axis, wherein the proximal chamber defines a second inner diameter radially along the main axis, wherein the intermediate chamber defines a third inner diameter radially along the main axis, wherein the third inner diameter is smaller than either the first inner diameter or the second inner diameter to form a shoulder between the distal chamber and the proximal chamber;
a valve pin movably arranged through the distal chamber, the proximal chamber and the intermediate chamber and movable along the main axis between a closed position and an open position, wherein the valve pin defines a distal end and a proximal end opposite to the distal end along the main axis, wherein the distal end is arranged in the distal chamber, wherein the proximal end is arranged in the proximal chamber, wherein a limiting member is connected to the distal end of the valve pin, wherein the valve pin has a threaded portion disposed on an outer peripheral surface of the distal end, wherein the limiting member has a threaded hole extending along the main axis, wherein the threaded portion of the valve pin is threadedly connected with the threaded hole of the limiting member, wherein the limiting member has a head and a body connected to the head along the main axis, wherein the threaded hole penetrates through the head and the body along the main axis;
and
an elastic biasing member arranged in the distal chamber and configured to elastically bias the valve pin towards the closed position, wherein the elastic biasing member defines a first end and a second end opposite to the first end along the main axis, wherein the first end of the elastic biasing member abuts against the head of the limiting member, wherein the second end of the elastic biasing member abuts against the shoulder, and wherein the body abuts against the shoulder when the valve pin is in the open position.
