The valve stem 13 is processed with a thread for connecting with the drive nut, and a handwheel 16 is installed on the drive nut. The staff can rotate the handwheel 16 to control the valve stem 13 and the lifting and lowering of the gate. During the rising process of the gate, the valve body 11 is no longer closed and the fluid can pass through.
[0029] In addition, in order to ensure the stable connection of the valve stem 13, a reinforcement plate 17 is also included between the No. 1 support arms 14. The reinforcement plate 17 is sleeved on the outside of the valve stem 13 so that the valve stem 13 can slide up and down and be connected to the reinforcement plate 17, and the reinforcement plate 17 is connected to the valve cover 12 through two No. 2 support arms 18 distributed on the left and right. In this embodiment, one No. 2 support arm 18 is hinged to the valve cover 12 for easy installation.
[0030] In addition, in order to realize automatic lubrication of the valve stem 13, a lubrication assembly is provided on the reinforcement plate 17, and the lubrication assembly includes an oil storage box 19 mounted on the reinforcement plate 17, an oil filling hole is provided in the oil storage box 19, and an oil supply part acting on the thread in the valve stem 13 is installed on the oil storage box 19, and also includes an oil outlet mechanism for pushing the oil in the oil storage cavity in the oil storage box 19 to the oil supply part.
[0031] In order to enable the oil supply component to act evenly on the surface of the valve stem 13, the oil supply component is an oil outlet ring 20 fixed on the oil storage box 19, extending horizontally and sleeved on the outside of the oil storage box 19.

At this time, the pressure wheel 22 drives the eccentric wheel 23 to rotate through the rotating shaft 21, the synchronous belt 32 and the connecting shaft 31, and cooperates with the spring to make the abutment head, the spring plate 26 and the piston 25 move left and right periodically. When the piston 25 moves left and right, the oil in the oil storage chamber will be pumped into the oil outlet ring 20, and attached to the thread in the valve stem 13 through the oil outlet for lubrication.
[0035] In the second embodiment of the oil outlet ring 20, in order to prevent the oil from dripping at the lower edge of the inner curved surface of the oil outlet ring 20 and causing waste, a rubber plate 27 is installed at the lower edge of the inner curved surface of the oil outlet ring 20.
