The first outlet is connected to the inlet cavity 30 of the main valve 1, and the two are connected to each other by the lower main pipe 11 and the air inlet joint 12. The second outlet is located at 180 degrees from the first outlet, that is, the second outlet and the first outlet are at two ends of the same diameter of the inner cavity of the switching valve body 13, serving as the pilot valve exhaust hole 18. The third outlet and the fourth outlet are located at 90 degrees on both sides of the first outlet and are connected to the inlets of the first pilot valve 4 and the second pilot valve 8 respectively. The third outlet is connected to the first pilot valve 4 and the second pilot valve 8 through the lower left pipe 3. The first pilot valve 4 is connected to the inlet, and the fourth outlet is connected to the inlet of the second pilot valve 8 through the lower right connecting pipe 9; two symmetrical 90° arc channels are arranged in the switching ball 16, and the outlets at both ends of the 90° arc channel are the first drainage hole 14 and the second drainage hole 17 in the switching ball 16, which are at a 90° angle; one end of the switching valve stem 15 is fixedly connected to the switching ball 16, and its center line passes perpendicularly through the center of the sphere of the plane where the two 90° arc channels are located; the four outlets of the switching valve body 13 are on a plane perpendicular to the switching valve stem 15, and a positioning device is arranged between the switching valve stem 15 and the switching valve body 13, so as to position the outlets at both ends of the 90° arc channel of the switching ball 16 to be connected to two adjacent outlets of the switching valve body 13. When the switching valve stem 15 connects the outlets at both ends of the first drainage hole 14 of the switching ball 16 with the first outlet and the fourth outlet of the switching valve body 13, the second pilot valve 8 works and the first pilot valve 4 stands by; when the outlets at both ends of the second drainage hole 17 are connected with the first outlet and the third outlet of the switching valve body 13, the first pilot valve 4 works and the second pilot valve 8 stands by.

When the inlet of the first pilot valve 4 is connected with the inlet chamber 30 of the main valve 1, the medium pressure of the inlet chamber 30 pushes the check valve flap 32 to move rightward and seal with the right valve seat, and the piston chamber 23 is connected with the inlet of the first pilot valve 4. When the inlet of the second pilot valve 8 is connected with the inlet chamber 30 of the main valve 1, the medium pressure of the inlet chamber 30 pushes the check valve flap 32 to move leftward and seal with the left valve seat, and the piston chamber 23 is connected with the inlet of the second pilot valve 8.
