[0052] Embodiment 3

[0053] like Figure 4-8 As shown, the components identical or corresponding to those in the first embodiment are marked with the corresponding reference numerals in the first embodiment. For the sake of simplicity, only the differences from the first embodiment are described below. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that:

[0054] In this embodiment, the valve body assembly 4 includes: a valve seat 41, a liquid outlet 412 is provided at the bottom of the valve seat 41, a liquid inlet 411 is provided at the top, and a plurality of openings for the circulation of liquid medicine are provided on the side wall of the liquid inlet 411, and also includes a mounting plate 42, a limiter 43 arranged on the top of the valve seat 41, a primary sealing assembly 44 slidably installed inside the valve seat 41, and a secondary sealing assembly 45 installed in the primary sealing assembly 44, and the primary sealing assembly 44 and the secondary sealing assembly 45 seal the liquid outlet 412.

[0055] Preferably, the limiting member 43 and the valve seat 41 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 42 via fasteners, and a sealing ring 46 is provided between the valve seat 41 and the mounting plate 42 .

[0056] It should be noted that the mounting plate 42 is the bottom of the barrel body 1 .

[0057] Preferably, a positioning step 413 is provided above the liquid outlet 412 to form a sealing contact surface with the primary sealing component 44 and the secondary sealing component 45 .

[0058] Furthermore, a first sealing member 414 is disposed on the positioning step 413 , and the bottoms of the primary sealing component 44 and the secondary sealing component 45 are in contact with the upper end surface of the first sealing member 414 .

[0059] Preferably, the first sealing member 414 is clamped at the inner diameter of the liquid outlet 412 and wraps the outer side of the positioning step 413 to improve the stability of the first sealing member 414 and prevent the position of the first sealing member 414 from loosening.

[0060] Preferably, a positioning groove 416 is provided on the inner wall of the valve seat 41 at the positioning step 413 , and the outer circumference of the upper end of the first sealing member 414 is clamped in the positioning groove 416 , further improving the stability of the first sealing member 414 .

[0061] In addition, the first sealing member 414 is disposed at the inner diameter of the liquid outlet 412 to achieve radial sealing at the connection when other connection structures are connected to the valve mechanism.

[0062] Preferably, the primary sealing assembly 44 includes: a first dynamic seal 441 slidably disposed inside the valve seat 41 and a first reset member 442 abutting against the top of the first dynamic seal 441; the upper end of the first reset member 442 abuts against the top of the stop member 43. The first reset member 442 is preferably a spring, but is not limited to a spring.

[0063] A liquid outlet channel 415 is formed between the first dynamic seal 441 and the valve seat 41 ; after the primary sealing assembly 44 and the secondary sealing assembly 45 are all in contact and sealed, the liquid flows through the liquid outlet channel 415 to the liquid outlet 412 for discharge.

[0064] Furthermore, the first dynamic seal 441 is in an inverted U-shaped structure, and a sealing surface in an arc-shaped structure is provided at the bottom thereof.

[0065] It should be noted that the first restoring member 442 acts on the upper end of the first dynamic seal 441 so that when no external force is applied, the sealing surface of the first dynamic seal 441 always abuts against the upper surface of the first sealing member 414 to form a primary end face seal.

[0070] At the same time, during the opening process, the secondary sealing component 45 first releases the seal, and then continues to push upward to drive the primary sealing component 44 to release the seal, and the liquid is discharged along the liquid outlet 412;

[0071] During the valve closing process, the primary sealing component 44 is first reset to a closed state to cut off the flow of liquid, allowing the liquid inside the valve body to continue to be discharged, and then the secondary sealing component 45 returns to a sealed state to prevent liquid from remaining in the valve body. Through the cooperation of the primary sealing component 44 and the secondary sealing component 45, double-end face sealing is achieved.

[0072] As an improvement, a liquid outlet channel is formed between the limiting member 43 and the valve seat 41 , and a plurality of liquid inlet openings 431 are formed on the side of the limiting member 43 .

[0073] Preferably, a plurality of liquid outlet openings are formed on the side wall of the bottom liquid outlet 412 of the valve seat 41 .

[0074] It should be noted that the liquid medicine enters the liquid channel through the liquid inlet opening and flows into the liquid inlet 411 , and flows out through the liquid outlet 412 of the valve seat 41 . The liquid outlet opening provided at the liquid outlet 412 increases the liquid discharge efficiency.

[0075] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
