The thickness of the outer fold 6 is greater than the depth of the annular groove 7 in the axial direction of the valve body 1. When the limit flange 6 is pressed on the outer surface of the outer fold 11, the friction force prevents the outer fold 11 from sliding easily.

When the valve is opened, the gas is discharged first, and the rubber airbag 4 is separated from the edge of the circular valve plate 5, and then the main shaft 3 and the circular valve plate 5 are driven to rotate by the pneumatic actuator 2 to realize the opening of the valve. The utility model has a reasonable structure, an annular groove 7 is provided at both ends of the valve body 1, and an outer folding edge 11 is provided at both ends of the rubber airbag 4, and the outer folding edge 11 is arranged in the annular groove 7.
