The inner side end of the guide sleeve II 10 is provided with an inner boss 21, and the polyfluorocarbon sealing ring 12 is abutted against the inlet valve 11. On the inner boss 21, the polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring 12 contacts the spherical valve 14, and the polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring 12 is tightly attached to the spherical surface of the spherical valve 14 to achieve sealing. A guide sleeve Ⅰ3 is provided at the upper end of the shell 5, and a sealing ring Ⅰ4 is provided between the guide sleeve Ⅰ3 and the shell 5.
