In addition, in the utility model, a blowing mechanism toward the upper side of the eccentric hemisphere 20 is provided on the upper side of the valve body 10.
[0025] During use, the end of the drain pipe 50 located outside the valve body 10 can be connected to a faucet, a plug, a solenoid valve, etc., and is only opened when emptying is needed. When emptying, the accumulated liquid at the bottom of the tank body can be discharged through the drain slot 21, the inclined flow channel 22, the L-shaped flow channel 41 and the drain pipe 50, thereby realizing the emptying of the accumulated liquid at the bottom of the tank body, and the solid material in the tank body will be intercepted by the filter screen 61. The drain slot 21 cooperates with the setting of the filter screen 61 to prevent the solid material from clogging and accumulating above the inclined flow channel 22 and blocking it.
[0026] In the present utility model, the blowing mechanism specifically includes an air receiving seat 71, which is fixedly connected to the upper side of the valve body 10, and an annular groove 712 is provided on the upper side of the air receiving seat 71, and an air pipe 72 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the air receiving seat 71, and an air channel 713 is provided on the air receiving seat 71 to connect the air blowing pipe 72 and penetrate into the annular groove 712, and the air receiving seat 71 is provided with a blowing port 714 that penetrates into the air receiving seat 71 in the annular groove 712.
