[0030] Before use, the gas conveying pipe 33 is connected with a gas supply device such as a fan or an air compressor, when the water flow pressure in the runner chamber is large, the air compressor is used for gas supply, so that the gas can be sent into the water with sufficient pressure, otherwise, when the water flow pressure is small, the fan can be used for gas supply, when the water turbine runner 11 is driven to rotate by the water flow in the runner chamber, the gas input into the gas conveying pipe 33 first pushes away the valve plate of the one-way valve 34 to be opened, the gas continuously enters the communication pipe 32 through the gas conveying pipe 33, then enters each fixed pipe 31 through the communication pipe 32, and finally is discharged from the air holes 24 on the gas distribution disc 2, since the gas distribution disc 2 is close to the water turbine runner 11, the gas finally enters the water body at the position of the water turbine runner 11, so that the water body is mixed with air, the damage of cavitation to the water turbine blade 12 is weakened through the air mixing in the water, and the effect of cavitation reduction is achieved.

[0033] In some embodiments, a movable plate 21 is arranged in the air distribution disc 2, the movable plate 21 is provided with an axle through hole 29 at the middle position of the air distribution disc 2, the axle 13 passes through the axle through hole 29 of the movable plate 21 and the air distribution disc 2, a plurality of through holes 28 are arranged at equal intervals on the movable plate 21, a groove 212 is arranged on the inside of the movable plate 21 at each through hole 28, a fixed column 22 is fixed in the air distribution disc 2 at a position corresponding to each through hole 28, a slide rod 23 is fixed at the right end center of each fixed column 22, the diameter of the slide rod 23 is smaller than the diameter of the fixed column 22, a through hole 28 is arranged on the movable plate 21 at a position corresponding to each slide rod 23, and the slide rod 23 passes through the through hole 28 to form a sliding support of the movable plate 21.

By using the difference in diameter between the fixed column 22 and the through hole 28, the movable plate 21 is sealed, so that the water flow is prevented from flowing back into the gas conveying pipe 33 through the through hole 28 and the air hole 24. At the same time, when not ventilated, the one-way valve 34 is closed, thereby comprehensively preventing the backflow of water.

[0036] When the gas conveying pipe 33 is ventilated, the ventilation pressure pushes the tension spring 27 to stretch, so that the movable plate 21 slides on the slide rod 23, and the movable plate 21 is away from the fixed column 22.
