While being able to precisely control the water flow, remote operation and automated management are achieved. However, the current electric control valves lack the function of quickly connecting to water meters during use.

A second permanent magnet 17 is fixedly connected between the four circumferences at the left end of the guiding valve seat 11.

[0029] In this technical solution, by pre-installing a nut 3 on the right side of the docking pipe 2, it can be directly connected to the water meter during the overall use process, effectively saving installation man-hours and improving work efficiency. At the same time, by adding a sealing valve flap 14, a guiding valve seat 11, a first permanent magnet 16 and a second permanent magnet 17 inside the docking pipe 2, the principle of like poles repelling each other between the first permanent magnet 16 and the second permanent magnet 17 can be utilized to enable the sealing valve flap 14 to form a good magnetic check effect inside the docking pipe 2, avoiding reverse metering of the water meter caused by the water body flowing back due to the pressure difference in the water supply pipeline, and avoiding pollution of the water body in the water supply pipeline due to backflow.

[0035] In this technical solution, through the arrangement of the wire arranging cylinder 23, the rubber sealing ring 27 and the heat shrinkable sleeve 26, a good seal can be formed between the power supply wire 28 and the electric head 4, avoiding water from entering the interior of the electric head 4 along the gaps around the power supply wire 28 and causing damage to the electric head 4. At the same time, through the arrangement of the rubber protective sleeve 25 and the spiral protective steel wire 24, a good protection can be formed around the power supply wire 28, avoiding damage to the power supply wire 28 due to force or extrusion.

[0036] Embodiment Four:

[0037] On the basis of Embodiment One, as shown in the present invention Figure 2As shown in the figure, a first O-ring seal 5 is sleeved between the upper end of the valve stem 7 and the right end of the top of the valve body 1. The bottom of the electric head 4 is movably connected to the top of the first O-ring seal 5. A second O-ring seal 6 is sleeved outside the first O-ring seal 5 at the right end of the top of the valve body 1. The bottom of the electric head 4 is movably connected to the top of the second O-ring seal 6. Third O-ring seals 8 are sleeved at both ends of the valve stem 7. The surface of the third O-ring seal 8 is movably connected to the upper end of the inner cavity of the valve body 1. A spherical gasket 9 is fixedly installed at the right end of the inner cavity of the valve body 1. The number of the spherical gaskets 9 is two. The surface of the throttling sphere 10 is movably connected to the surface of the spherical gasket 9. A fourth O-ring seal 22 is sleeved on the left side of the docking pipe 2. The left side of the fourth O-ring seal 22 is movably connected to the right side of the valve body 1. A guide groove 12 is opened at the right end of the outer surface of the docking pipe 2. The left end of the nut 3 is fixedly connected with a limiting ring 13. The surface of the limiting ring 13 is movably connected to the surface of the guide groove 12. A docking thread is opened at the left end of the inner cavity of the valve body 1. A rubber gasket is fixedly installed at the right side of the docking thread at the left end of the inner cavity of the valve body 1.

[0038] In this technical solution, through the arrangement of the first O-ring seal 5 and the second O-ring seal 6, the sealing performance of the contact between the electric head 4, the valve body 1 and the valve stem 7 is effectively improved, avoiding water entering the inside of the electric head 4 and causing damage. Through the arrangement of the third O-ring seal 8 and the spherical gasket 9, the sealing performance of the contact between the valve stem 7 and the valve body 1, and between the throttling sphere 10 and the valve body 1 is effectively improved respectively. Through the arrangement of the fourth O-ring seal 22, the sealing performance of the installation between the valve body 1 and the docking pipe 2 is effectively improved, avoiding water leakage. Through the arrangement of the guide groove 12 and the limiting ring 13, the purpose of limiting and guiding between the nut 3 and the docking pipe 2 is achieved.

[0039] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: When the user uses water and causes pressure fluctuations, the water flow can flow from the left end of the valve body 1, pass through the throttling sphere 10 and touch the sealing valve flap 14. At the same time, when the water flow impact force is greater than the repulsive force of about 12 grams generated by the same-sex repulsion between the first permanent magnet 16 and the second permanent magnet 17 between the sealing valve flap 14 and the guiding valve seat 11, the sealing valve flap 14 can be opened from the left end of the docking pipe 2, so that the water flow can be transported through the docking pipe 2 to the water meter connected to the nut 3, and the water meter can generate positive metering. And when the user closes the water-using appliance or due to pressure fluctuations, and the water pressure at the water meter end is greater than the water pressure inside the valve body 1, during the process that the water flow flows from the water meter end into the valve body 1, the water flow can push the sealing valve flap 14 in the reverse direction, causing the sealing valve flap 14 to fit with the sealing surface of the docking pipe 2. Thus, while blocking the water flow from flowing back through the throttling sphere 10, no water flow flows back through the water meter, effectively preventing reverse sewage from flowing back into the water meter and ensuring that the water meter has no reverse metering.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than limiting the protection scope of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
