The mutual cooperation enables better installation and disassembly, and the installation and disassembly are simple, convenient and practical.
[0030] A limiting groove is formed on one end of the first body 31 connected to the valve stem, and a matching clamping protrusion 61 is protruded on the sealing end 32 to limit the position, which is convenient for installation to the designated position.
[0031] The bottom of the sealing end 32 is formed with a fixing protrusion 62, and the first body 31 is recessed with a fixing groove, so as to better fit the sealing end 32 to the designated position.
[0032] The bottom of the valve body 1 extends to a limited edge, and a sealing gap is formed on the support portion 41. A sealing ring 7 is provided in the sealing gap to enhance the sealing.
[0033] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
