[0037] The valve body assembly 1 is further provided with a driving assembly 2 for driving the displacement of the valve rod 11, the driving assembly 2 being slidingly connected to the valve body assembly 1, and the valve rod 11 being fixedly connected to the driving assembly 2;

[0038] The driving assembly 2 comprises a driving frame 21 slidingly connected to the valve body assembly 1, the driving frame 21 being provided with a frame body 22, the frame body 22 being provided with float balls 221, the frame body 22 being arranged on the driving frame 21 through a spherical body 222, and the driving frame 21 being provided with a spherical groove 211 cooperating with the spherical body 222;

[0040] The valve body assembly 1 is a common control valve. The valve rod 11 reciprocates along a straight line to open or close the control valve.

[0041] The float balls 221 are common spherical floating bodies, which are used to provide buoyancy for the driving frame 21 when the liquid surface rises, so that the driving frame 21 can pull the valve rod 11 to move upward to open or close the valve body assembly 1.
