One end of the butterfly valve can be accurately docked with the docking head 205. The docking head 205 is connected with a sealing ring 206. With the drive of the electric cylinder 302, the connection between the butterfly valve and the docking head 205 can be ensured to be tight.

At this time, in the air supply mechanism 4, the air pump 401 is started, and the third solenoid valve 402 is opened, so that air can be supplied to the gas storage tank 201 through the air inlet pipe 403, and then the butterfly valve is in communication with the gas in the gas storage tank 201. The third single solenoid valve 402 is closed. At this time, the pressure index is observed through the pressure gauge 207. If the pressure index remains stable, it means that the airtightness of the butterfly valve is good.
[0030] The above are only the embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
