[0062] Embodiment 3

[0063] This embodiment provides a specific implementation method for opening a valve. Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, when the valve is opened, first, the driving cylinder 800 is turned on, and the driving cylinder 800 drives the rack 110 to move outward, thereby driving the gear 900 to rotate counterclockwise, and the gear 900 drives the rotating shaft 111 and the pushing block 112 to rotate counterclockwise together, and drives the pushing rod 113 to move through the pushing block 112, so that the pushing rod 113 drives the ball mounting frame 400 to move to the left, and pushes the ball assembly 600 inside the ball mounting frame 400 back into the ball groove 700, so that the sealing plate 200 and the support plate 300 are released from support, and the sealing plate 200 and the support plate 300 are reset under the action of the reset assembly, so that the valve is opened.

[0064] Embodiment 4

[0065] This embodiment provides a specific implementation method for closing the valve. Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, when the valve is closed, the driving cylinder 800 is opened first, and the driving cylinder 800 drives the rack 110 to move inward, thereby driving the gear 900 to rotate clockwise, and the gear 900 drives the rotating shaft 111 and the pushing block 112 to rotate clockwise together, and drives the pushing rod 113 to rotate together through the pushing block 112, thereby driving the ball mounting frame 400 to move rightward, and the ball assembly 600 inside the ball mounting frame 400 is pushed out from the ball groove 700. Since the ball groove 700 is tilted inward, the depth of the left end of the ball groove 700 is greater than the depth of the right end. When the ball assembly 600 moves to the right, due to the narrowing of the height between the sealing plate 200 and the support plate 300, the ball assembly 600 will push the sealing plate 200 and the support plate 300 to move to both ends, so that the sealing plate 200 and the support plate 300 are respectively abutted against the valve body 100, and the valve body 100 is closed. Furthermore, during the movement of the sealing plate 200 and the support plate 300, the sealing ring 120 is compressed to seal the sealing plate 200 and the support plate 300 with the valve body 100. Furthermore, during the movement of the sealing plate 200 and the support plate 300, the inner sleeve 114 and the outer sleeve 115 of the reset assembly are stretched toward both ends.
