[0034] Meanwhile, an extrusion mechanism 6 is arranged on one side of the float ball valve 3, which is used to drive the first flange 21 and the second flange 41 to approach each other, so that the first flange 21 and the second flange 41 are slightly elastically deformed, the extrusion force of the first flange 21 and the second flange 41 on the rubber pads 53 is increased, and the sealing effect of the rubber pads 53 is improved.
[0035] The structure of the extrusion mechanism 6 is refined as follows, with reference to Figures 6-8The extrusion mechanism 6 comprises two positioning plates 61, which are respectively arranged on the sides away from each other of the first flange 21 and the second flange 41. The two ends of the positioning plate 61 are rotatably connected with clamping rods 62. The clamping rods 62 at the same height and the positioning plate 61 form a semicircle. The two semicircles formed by the positioning plate 61 and the clamping rods 62 are respectively sleeved on the feed pipe 2 and the extension pipe 4. The feed pipe 2 and the extension pipe 4 limit the transverse movement of the two clamping rods 62 and the positioning plate 61 combined into a semicircle, so that the four clamping rods 62 are respectively in contact with the sides away from each other of the plurality of heads. Meanwhile, the extrusion mechanism 6 further comprises two pull rods 67 symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the float valve 3. The upper ends of the two pull rods 67 are fixedly arranged on the lower side surfaces of the two clamping rods 62 located above.

A spring 69 sleeved on the pull rod 67 is arranged between the end plate 68 and the clamping rod 62. The spring 69 drives the end plate 68 away from the clamping rod 62. At this time, the spring 69 is in an elastic contraction state. The elastic force of the spring 69 pushes the clamping rod 62 located below to be close to the clamping rod 62 located above. The clamping rod 62 pushes the bolt 54 located below to be close to the bolt 54 located above, so as to make the bolt 54 located below push the first flange 21 to be close to the second flange 41. In this way, the extrusion degree of the first flange 21 and the second flange 41 on the rubber pad 53 is increased, and the sealing effect of the rubber pad 53 is improved.
[0036] In order to facilitate the installation of the clamping rod 62 and the positioning plate 61, an installation groove 63 is formed at one end of one of the clamping rods 62.

One side of the turnover frame 65 close to the rotating sleeve 64 is rotatably connected with a lead screw 66. The lead screw 66 is threadedly connected with the rotating sleeve 64. When assembling the device, the personnel fixes the float valve 3 with the feed pipe 2 and the extension pipe 4 through the pipe connecting assembly 5, then the personnel pulls the clamping rod 62 located above and the clamping rod 62 located below apart by a predetermined distance, i.e. the distance between the heads of the two bolts 54 in the two pipe connecting assemblies 5, then the personnel attaches the two positioning plates 61 to the feed pipe 2 and the extension pipe 4 respectively, so that the four clamping rods 62 are respectively located on the two sides of the feed pipe 2 and the extension pipe 4, and then the two lead screws 66 are twisted at the same time. The thread connection between the lead screw 66 and the rotating sleeve 64 drives the rotating sleeve 64 to drive the corresponding clamping rod 62 away from the turnover frame 65, so that the other end of the two clamping rods 62 at the same height are close to each other. Until the four clamping rods 62 are in close contact with the side walls of the feed pipe 2 and the extension pipe 4, so as to facilitate the installation of the extrusion mechanism 6.
