[0025] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0026] During the test, the plug valve is placed inside the groove 12 on the upper surface of the plug valve seat 65, and then the PLC controller 7 is adjusted to operate the servo motor 68. The output shaft of the servo motor 68 drives the screw rod 67 to rotate, and the screw rod 67 drives the circular shaft 62 to slide to the right along the long sliding hole at the left end of the bottom frame 61 through the connecting shaft 66.
