[0008] In a further preferred embodiment, the third steam port is opened at the bottom of the valve body, and the movable seal is located directly above the third steam port. With this arrangement, the movable seal sticks to the bottom of the valve body under the action of gravity and covers the third steam port, and when steam is heated normally, the movable seal sticks to the bottom of the valve body under the combined action of internal steam pressure and gravity and seals the third steam port.

[0009] In a further preferred embodiment, the valve body is cylindrical, and the third steam port is opened in the middle position on the lower end surface of the valve body; the movable pressing plate includes the shielding portion and a plurality of first extension portions, each of which extends outward from the edge of the shielding portion and is evenly distributed along the circumference of the shielding portion, and the outer end of each first extension portion is in contact with the inner wall of the valve body. With this arrangement, the movable seal can move up and down along the valve body, and during the movement, the movable seal will not flip over; when the movable seal moves upward, the outside atmosphere can enter the valve body through the gap formed between the shielding portion and each first extension portion. In a further preferred embodiment, the first steam port and the second steam port are respectively opened on the upper end surface or side surface of the valve body.

[0010] The valve body, steam inlet channel, steam outlet channel and atmosphere channel can be made of polypropylene.

When steam is heated normally for production, the steam sent from the steam pipe enters the inner cavity 101 from the steam inlet channel 102 of the valve body 1, and then flows out from the steam outlet channel 103 to the equipment that uses steam for heating. At this time, the pressure in the inner cavity 101 is greater than the external pressure. The movable seal 105 seals the air outlet of the atmosphere channel 104 under the action of the internal steam pressure, and the steam will not leak out, so that the production can proceed normally; when the heating stops or the steam is interrupted, the steam pipe will generate negative pressure due to cooling or steam stop.

The shielding portion 10511 of the movable pressing plate 1051 can shield the air outlet of the atmosphere channel 104 when steam is heated normally for production, and the sealing gasket 1052 can prevent steam leakage.

[0019] The third steam port is opened at the bottom of the valve body 1, and the movable seal 105 is located directly above the third steam port. With this arrangement, the movable seal 105 sticks to the bottom of the valve body 1 under the action of gravity and covers the third steam port, and when steam is heated and produced normally, the movable seal 105 sticks to the bottom of the valve body 1 under the combined action of internal steam pressure and gravity and seals the third steam port.

[0020] The valve body 1 is cylindrical, and the third steam port is opened in the middle position of the lower end surface of the valve body 1; the movable pressing plate 1051 includes a shielding portion 10511 and a plurality of first extension portions 10512, each of which extends outward from the edge of the shielding portion 10511 and is evenly distributed along the circumference of the shielding portion 10511, and the outer end of each first extension portion 10512 is in contact with the inner side wall of the valve body 1.
