[0029] When the slurry is injected into the cylinder 1, the upper ring 9 is pressed against the spring 11, and the spring 11 is compressed, and the upper ring 9 moves downward until the upper opening 16 leaks out. The slurry enters the cavity 15 and enters the hemisphere 2 through the lower opening 17 and leaks out through the through hole 5. As the external casing continues to penetrate deeper, when the internal pressure is greater than the grouting pressure, the pressure on the lower ring 10 increases. Under the cooperation of the slide groove 12 and the slider 13, the lower ring 10 and the upper ring 9 move upward to close the upper opening 16. When the upper ring 9 contacts the bottom end of the upper plate 7, the opening 14 is closed to prevent the slurry from flowing back.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the eye-marking strip 4, during the casing lowering operation, the obstructed points on the well wall can be eye-marked to reduce the resistance to lowering the casing; by providing the anti-backflow component, the chute 12, the slider 13, the opening 14, the cavity 15, the upper opening 16 and the lower opening 17, as the external casing continues to penetrate deeper, when the internal pressure is greater than the grouting pressure, the pressure on the lower ring 10 increases. Under the cooperation of the chute 12 and the slider 13, the lower ring 10 and the upper ring 9 move up to close the upper opening 16. When the upper ring 9 contacts the bottom end of the upper plate 7, the opening 14 is closed to prevent the slurry from flowing back; by providing the installation groove 6, the anti-backflow component can be inserted and installed in the installation groove 6. When maintenance is required, the anti-backflow component can be taken out from the cylinder 1 for easy use;

When the bottom end of the limiting piece 18 contacts the bottom end of the limiting groove 19, the top end of the upper ring 9 is located between the top and bottom ends of the upper opening 16. A closed ring 20 is fixed to the bottom end of the lower ring 10. The height of the closed ring 20 is greater than the length of the slide groove 12. The closed ring 20 and the inner column 8 are not in contact. A connecting screw hole 21 is provided at the bottom end of the cylinder 1 and the hemisphere 2. A connecting bolt 22 is connected to the inner thread of the connecting screw hole 21. A hidden groove 23 is provided at the end of the connecting screw hole 21 on the hemisphere 2. The hidden end of the connecting bolt 22 is hidden in the hidden groove 23.
