[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the staff can quickly determine the direction of opening or closing through the indicator key, and use the maximum flow indicator bar to control the rotation angle of the valve core between the valve bodies, which is beneficial for the staff to control the flow change.

[0016] Furthermore, the screw rod is arranged through the hand wheel and is in clearance fit with the hand wheel, and a limiting block is fixed at the upper end of the screw rod.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the limit block is larger than the outer diameter of the screw, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the screw on the handwheel.

[0018] Furthermore, the upper end of the screw is threadedly connected to the bottom of the handwheel.
