The operator can freely control the handwheel 17 without any obstacles.

[0043] 3. When the valve stem 14 moves downward so that the valve disc 16 blocks the flow channel 15, the operator only needs to hold the second grip shaft 83 and pull it upward. The counterweight shaft 82 will move upward accordingly and leave the recessed groove 711. Then, the self-locking actuator 23 will move right under the kinetic energy provided by the power spring 51 and then push into the self-locking receiving groove 141 to lock the valve stem 14.

[0044] 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.
