[0026] Please refer to Figure 4 , the inner wall of the piston cylinder 7 is rotationally connected with a rotating shaft 16, the outer surface of the rotating shaft 16 is fixedly connected with two driving gears 13, the outer part of each driving gear 13 is engaged with a tooth plate 11, the bottom end of each tooth plate 11 is connected with the upper surface of the piston plate 14, the outer surface of the rotating shaft 16 is fixedly connected with a worm gear 17, the descending movement of the piston plate 14 will directly cause the synchronous descent of the tooth plate 11 connected with the piston plate 14, with the descent of the tooth plate 11, the gear rack arranged on the tooth plate 11 is engaged with the gear teeth of the driving gear 13, so as to drive the driving gear 13 to rotate, the rotating action is effectively transmitted to the worm gear 17 through the fixed rotating shaft 16, so that the worm gear 17 also starts to rotate around its axis.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 4Each set of driving gear 13 and each set of toothed plate 11 are symmetrically arranged, the length of each toothed plate 11 is greater than the interval between two blocking rings 15, which can prevent the separation between toothed plate 11 and driving gear 13.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 4 The outer part of worm gear 17 is engaged with worm 12, the top end of worm 12 penetrates piston cylinder 7 and is fixedly connected with first gear 10, the outer part of first gear 10 is engaged with second gear 9, the inner ring of second gear 9 is connected with the outer surface of rotating rod 4, in the process of rotating, worm gear 17 will drive worm 12 to rotate along the axis perpendicular to the rotating direction of worm gear 17, this rotating action will drive first gear 10 to start rotating, the close engagement relationship between first gear 10 and second gear 9 ensures that the rotation of first gear 10 can drive second gear 9 to rotate in the opposite direction, with the rotation of second gear 9, the rotating rod 4 connected with it will also rotate accordingly, finally drive the spool 6 to produce deflection movement, realize the close closing of the inside of valve body 1, ensure that when the water leakage is detected, the valve body 1 can be quickly and automatically closed, effectively prevent the further loss of water resources.

[0031] The implementation principle of the water leakage self-closing valve according to the embodiment of the application is as follows: when water flows through the valve body 1, the pressure inside the valve body 1 is maintained at a relatively stable state, which enables the piston plate 14 to maintain a stable position inside the piston cylinder 7. Once the pipeline connected with the valve body 1 leaks, the pressure inside the valve body 1 decreases, which causes the piston plate 14 to be out of balance and gradually move downward. In the process of moving downward, the tooth plate 11 connected with the piston plate 14 also moves and drives the driving gear 13 to rotate. The rotation of the driving gear 13 further drives the rotation of the worm wheel 17 through the rotating shaft 16. The interaction between the worm wheel 17 and the worm 12 causes the worm 12 to also rotate. At the same time, the rotation of the worm 12 also drives the rotation of the second gear 9 and the rotating rod 4 connected with the second gear 9 through the meshing relationship between the first gear 10 and the second gear 9. Finally, the rotation of the rotating rod 4 causes the valve core 6 to deflect, thereby effectively sealing the inside of the valve body 1 and ensuring that the valve body 1 can be automatically closed when the pipeline leaks, effectively preventing further loss of water resources.

[0032] The above are preferred embodiments of the application, and do not limit the protection scope of the application. Therefore, equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape, and principle of the application should be covered within the protection scope of the application.
