The gas supply mechanism includes a connecting pipe 4 penetrating the side walls of the box body 3, and both ends of the two connecting pipes 4 respectively penetrate the flange 2 and are connected with the two gas rings 6. By expanding the gas ring 6, the expanded gas ring 6 blocks the gap after the flange 2 is connected, thereby enhancing the sealing performance of the ball valve body 1 after connection. The operation is simple, which brings certain convenience to people.

[0022] A driving mechanism for driving the air supply mechanism is provided in the box body 3, and the driving mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged fixed plates 11 arranged in the box body 3. The two fixed plates 11 are rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the box body 3 through reciprocating screws 14. The outer walls of the reciprocating screws 14 are provided with pistons 15 that cooperate with their outer walls. The pistons 15 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the box body 3.

[0023] Two symmetrically arranged limiting rods 13 are arranged in the box body 3 , and the two limiting rods 13 both penetrate the two pistons 15 and are slidably connected thereto.

[0024] A rotating rod 9 is rotatably connected to the box body 3 and the inner wall of the ball valve body 1. The outer wall of the rotating rod 9 is provided with a plurality of circumferentially arranged rotating plates 10. The upper end of the rotating rod 9 and the ends of the two reciprocating screws 14 are provided with bevel gears 12. The plurality of bevel gears 12 are meshed with each other. The fluid drives the plurality of rotating plates 10 to rotate, so that the rotating plates 10 drive the rotating rod 9 to rotate. The cooperation of the plurality of bevel gears 12 between the rotating rod 9 and the two reciprocating screws 14 is utilized to realize the movement of the two pistons 15, so that the device can enhance the sealing performance of the ball valve body 1 without the need for a driving source, thereby improving the adaptability of the device.

The two reciprocating screws 14 are rotated by the meshing action of the bevel gear 12 between the rotating rod 9 and the two reciprocating screws 14, and then the two pistons 15 are moved to squeeze the gas in the box body 3 into the connecting pipe 4 through the cooperation of the piston 15 and the limiting action of the limit rod 13 on the piston 15. When the piston 15 returns, the intake pipe 7 sucks external gas into the box body 3. This reciprocating process causes the piston 15 to squeeze the gas into the gas ring 6, thereby causing the gas ring 6 to expand, and the expanded gas ring 6 to seal the gap after the flange 2 is connected, thereby enhancing the sealing performance of the ball valve body 1 after the connection. The operation is simple and no additional driving source is required, which brings certain convenience to people.
