Aiming at solving the problem of low unloading sensitivity, bad dynamic performance and poor stability of high-pressure and large-flow relief valve in hydraulic support system, a new differential type of high-pressure and large-flow relief valve, functioned by high water-based hydraulic medium, is designed. Through analysing the influence of spool form, elastic element, and working principle on valve performance, a structural scheme of large-flow and high-pressure safety valve is put forward. The three-dimensional fluid–solid coupling model of differential safety valve is established; through ADINA software, three-dimensional fluid–solid coupling simulation of relief valve's orifice from shutdown to full opening is carried out to analyse the distribution of internal pressure in the flow field of the safety valve and the pressure change of the structure field. The physical simulation model of safety valve is established by using AMESim software, and the dynamic performance of safety valve is simulated under the given signal of nominal flow and small flow. According to the design structure, the safety valve with the rated flow of 3000 L/min is manufactured and tested. The simulation and experimental results show that the safety valve has good dynamic performance and high sensitivity..
