An O-ring 21 is provided on one side of the plunger 2 corresponding to the step portion 14, which can be movably abutted against the step portion 14 for sealing. The front end of the guide rod 3 is spirally installed in the second chamber 12, and the inner end of the guide rod 3 abuts against the outer end of the plunger 2 to control the movement of the plunger 2. A flow channel is provided between the plunger 2 and the guide rod 3, which can be used to connect the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12.
[0027] In this embodiment, a flange plate 4 is installed at the outer end of the valve body 1 located in the second chamber 12 to connect with the tank body. One side of the flange plate 4 is inserted into the valve body 1 through a connecting pipe 41 and is threadedly connected to the valve body 1.
[0028] A spring 5 is provided on the side of the plunger 2 facing the flange plate 4. One end of the spring 5 abuts against the plunger 2, and the other end abuts against the outer end of the connecting pipe 41 through a gasket 51, so as to push the plunger 2 to move elastically.
[0029] The plunger 2 includes a plunger plate 22 and a plunger tube 23 disposed on one side of the plunger plate 22, and a column block 24 disposed on the side of the plunger plate 22 away from the plunger tube 23. The spring 5 is sleeved on the outer end of the column block 24 to limit the spring 5. The O-ring 21 is sleeved on the outer end of the plunger tube 23 and abuts against one side of the plunger plate 22 so that it abuts against the step portion 14 through the O-ring 21 to disconnect the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12. The outer side of the plunger tube 23 is inserted into the second chamber 12 and abuts against the outer end of the guide rod 3.
[0030] In this embodiment, the flow channel includes a first flow hole 25 installed on the axis of the plug tube 23 and a second flow hole 31 installed on the axis of the flow rod 3. The plug tube 23 is provided with a third flow hole 26 on both sides of the first flow hole 25, which communicates with the first chamber 11. The third flow hole 26 is perpendicular to the direction of the first flow hole 25. The outer end of the first flow hole communicates with the second flow hole 31.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the plunger 2 is pushed by the spring 5 to move into the second chamber 12. The guide rod 3 is threaded in the second chamber 12 and abuts against one side of the plunger 2. The operator can rotate the guide rod 3 to control its back-and-forth movement, thereby controlling the movement of the plunger 2. When the plunger 2 abuts against the step portion 14 through the O-ring 21, the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 are closed. When the guide rod 3 pushes the plunger 2 to squeeze the spring 5, causing the O-ring 21 to move away from the step portion 14, the flow rate can be gradually controlled. The liquid is introduced into the first chamber 11 through the connecting pipe 41, passes around the stopper plate 22, enters the first guide hole 25 through the third guide hole 26, flows along the second guide hole 31 from the fourth guide hole 32, and flows into the connecting pipe head 13 through the guide groove 33, thus achieving a stable fluid supply.
