A conical sealing surface 420 is arranged on the lower part of the valve stem 110, which can be in contact with the blade sealing surface of the housing 100 to form a stop sealing. The valve stem 110, the valve seat 140 and the housing 100 jointly enclose a pneumatic cavity 300. The spring 150 is arranged in the pneumatic cavity 300, and the two ends of the spring 150 are respectively in abutment with the valve seat 140 and the housing 100.
[0021] In the preferred embodiment, the spring 150 pushes the valve seat 140 against the pneumatic control port 130 by pre-tightening force, and drives the valve stem 110 to move upward so that the conical sealing surface 420 is pressed against the blade sealing surface, and the valve is in the normally closed state; when the control gas enters the pneumatic control port 130, and the driving force formed on the upper surface of the valve seat 140 is greater than the sum of the spring pre-tightening force, the medium outlet side resistance and the valve stem movement friction (i.e. ), the valve stem 110 moves downward, the conical sealing surface 420 is separated from the blade sealing surface, and the medium flow passage is opened.
[0022] In the preferred embodiment, the upper part of the shell 100 is provided with a first threaded interface 510, and the pneumatic control port 130 is connected and fixed with the first threaded interface 510 through internal threads; an annular groove is arranged on the inner hole wall of the pneumatic control port 130, and a first sealing ring 200 is installed in the annular groove, and the dynamic sealing between the pneumatic control port 130 and the valve seat 140 is realized through the first sealing ring 200.
[0023] In the preferred embodiment, the lower part of the shell 100 is provided with a second threaded interface 520, and the outer sleeve nut 120 is connected and fixed with the second threaded interface 520 through internal threads, which is used for axial positioning of the valve stem 110 and realizes end face sealing.
[0024] In the preferred embodiment, an annular groove is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the lower part of the valve stem 110, and a third sealing ring 220 is installed in the annular groove, which is used to enhance the sealing performance of the cooperation part between the valve stem 110 and the outer sleeve nut 120.
[0025] In the preferred embodiment, the spring 150 is a compression spring, and is sleeved on the upper part of the valve stem 110; the upper end of the spring 150 abuts against the inner annular groove of the valve seat 140, and the lower end abuts against the inner wall of the shell 100.
[0026] In the preferred embodiment, a fourth sealing ring 230 is arranged between the cavity of the shell 100 and the valve stem 110 and the outer sleeve nut 120, and the fourth sealing ring 230 is a static sealing structure, which is used to block the leakage of the medium in the cavity.

[0028] The working process of the present application is as follows: In the initial state, the pre-tightening force of the spring 150 pushes the valve seat 140 upward against the lower end surface of the pneumatic control port 130, and also moves the valve stem 110 upward, so that the lower conical valve core head is tightly pressed against the cutting edge sealing surface of the housing 100, and the pneumatic stop valve is in the closed state.
[0029] When the control gas with a certain pressure is introduced into the pneumatic control port 130, a driving force perpendicular to the upper surface of the valve seat 140 is formed when the gas enters the pneumatic cavity 300, and the valve stem 110 moves upward under the action of the driving force. When the valve stem 110 and the housing 100 are opened, the first cavity 310 and the second cavity 320 are communicated, and the medium flow path is opened.
[0030] When the pneumatic stop valve is discharged, the gas pressure of the pneumatic control port 130 is withdrawn, the valve stem 110 moves upward under the action of the spring force until the valve is closed and sealed. At this time, the spring 150 is gradually reset from the working state to the pre-tightening state, and the sum of the frictional forces of the first sealing ring 200, the second sealing ring 210 and the third sealing ring 220 needs to be overcome, the medium flow path is cut off, and the valve is closed.
