Double air lock valves usually have a double-layer design in structure, that is, an additional layer is added to the sealing device of the valve body to enhance the sealing performance of the valve.

[0003] The existing double air lock valve has two sets of valve plates. When the valve plates are opened, they are often independently driven and controlled by hydraulic rods or motors. This control method has a relatively limited structure and requires the use of two sets of power drives.
