When the valve body structure needs to be disinfected and cleaned, the fixing knob can be removed from the mounting seat by rotating the fixing knob, and then the valve body structure can be pulled out of the mounting slot. At this time, the connector is separated from the socket assembly, and then the entire valve body structure, i.e. the front end of the valve body, the rear end of the valve body, the connector and the throttling element, can be sterilized at high temperature. The installation and disassembly are convenient, and the installation and disassembly can be completed without additional auxiliary tools, which is easy to use.
