When blocking the gas flow between the air inlet 2 of the gas meter joint 1 and the air outlet of the gas pipeline, the first sealing rubber sleeve 14 is in extrusion contact with the air inlet 2 of the gas meter joint 1; when there is gas flow between the air inlet 2 of the gas meter joint 1 and the air outlet of the gas pipeline, the first sealing rubber sleeve 14 is separated from the air inlet 2 of the gas meter joint 1.
[0032] The control member includes a motor 10 and a transmission rod 11. The motor 10 is used to drive the transmission rod 11 to rotate. The outer side wall of the transmission rod 11 is provided with threads, and the second end of the valve stem 9 is provided with a threaded hole. The transmission rod 11 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the valve stem 9. The inner side wall of the first sealing rubber sleeve 14 is provided with a sealing convex ring 3. The sealing convex ring 3 is in extrusion contact with the outer side wall of the first end of the valve stem 9. A limiting member is arranged in the gas meter joint 1. The limiting member is used to limit the relative rotation between the valve stem 9 and the gas meter joint 1. The motor 10 can be remotely controlled.
[0033] The limiting member includes at least one limiting sub-member. Each limiting sub-member includes a limiting block 12 and a moving groove 13. The first end of the limiting block 12 is fixedly installed at the first end of the valve stem 9. The limiting block 12 is located inside the first sealing rubber sleeve 14.

[0035] The automatic control valve further includes a fixed step 6. The fixed step 6 has at least two steps. The fixed step 6 is arranged on the installation chamber 4. A step sealing ring groove 7 is formed between the fixed step 6 and the opening 5 of the gas meter joint 1. The second seal is the second sealing rubber sleeve 8.

After the self-airtight detection is qualified, the internal space is completely sealed and can resist the intrusion of corrosion.
[0037] The working principle of the automatic control valve inside the fully sealed internal gear ring drive gas meter of the utility model is as follows:
[0038] When opening the valve, the motor 10 starts and drives the transmission rod 11 to rotate through gear transmission. Under the action of the transmission rod 11, the limit block 12 and the moving groove 13, the valve rod 9 converts the rotation into a linear movement. Therefore, the valve rod 9 drives the first sealing rubber sleeve 14 away from the air inlet 2 of the gas meter joint 1, so that the air inlet 2 of the gas meter joint 1 is communicated with the air outlet of the gas pipeline, achieving the purpose of opening the gas pipeline;
[0039] When closing the valve, the motor 10 starts and drives the transmission rod 11 to rotate in the reverse direction through gear transmission. Under the action of the transmission rod 11, the limit block 12 and the moving groove 13, the valve rod 9 converts the rotation into a linear movement. Therefore, the valve rod 9 drives the first sealing rubber sleeve 14 close to the air inlet 2 of the gas meter joint 1 until the first sealing rubber sleeve 14 is in extrusion contact with the air inlet 2 of the gas meter joint 1, blocking the communication between the air inlet 2 of the gas meter joint 1 and the air outlet of the gas pipeline, achieving the purpose of closing the gas pipeline.
[0040] This automatic control valve is installed inside the gas meter, enabling it to automatically cut off and open the gas supply of the pipeline. It adopts a transmission form that uses gear transmission to drive the transmission rod 11 to drive the first sealing rubber sleeve 14. The characteristics of this transmission structure are large transmission ratio, compact structure, simple and convenient electric control logic, and it can be applied to the basic meters produced by many different gas meters. Installing it at the gas inlet inside the basic meter can easily achieve the purpose of remotely and automatically controlling the opening and closing of the gas pipeline; all the spaces of this automatic control valve connected to the electrical device are reliably sealed. In some extreme and slightly harsh gas environments, corrosive gases can be prevented from entering the valve interior, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the valve.
