[0017] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. Pressurize the circulation valve body, and the steel ball and the annular ball seat are driven to move under the action of pressure. Under pressure, the annular lock groove squeezes the hemispherical block to move, thereby driving the lock rod to move, and the sealing ring is squeezed and deformed to realize the movement of the annular ball seat. Finally, the circulation hole is no longer blocked, so that the circulation of the liquid can be realized.

[0019] 2. After use, take it out and reset the annular ball seat, and the device can be used again, avoiding the disadvantage of the prior art that the shear nails must be replaced before it can be used.

[0021] 4. The protective cover is fixed on the circulation valve body to protect the spring, etc.

[0022] To sum up, under pressure, the annular lock groove of the utility model squeezes the hemispherical block to move, thereby driving the lock rod to move, and the sealing ring is squeezed and deformed. After use, it is taken out to reset the annular ball seat, and the device can be used again, avoiding the disadvantage of the prior art that the shear nails must be replaced before it can be used.
