[0024] The piston head 41 and the piston rod 42 are reciprocated in the second channel 3, so that the liquid flowing through the first channel 2 is squeezed, when the piston rod 42 drives the piston head 41 to move towards the first channel 2, the driving member 5 in the piston head 41 pushes the sealing ring 44 to abut against the inner wall of the second channel 3, so that effective sealing is formed, the flow of the fluid in the channel is ensured, and the fluid is prevented from leaking, when the piston head 41 moves away from the first channel 2, the driving member 5 does not push the sealing ring 44 to abut against the inner wall of the second channel 3, so that, when the piston head 41 is reset, the pressure in the second channel 3 is reduced, the movement of the piston head 41 is facilitated, the abrasion of the sealing ring 44 is reduced, and the service life of the sealing ring 44 is prolonged.
[0025] The driving member 5 comprises a plurality of arc-shaped plates 51 which are in contact with the sealing ring 44, the arc-shaped plates 51 are located in the annular groove 43 and are uniformly distributed around the axis of the piston head 41, and the piston head 41 is provided with a pushing member 6 which is used for driving the arc-shaped plates 51 to move along the radial direction of the piston head 41.
[0026] The plurality of arc-shaped plates 51 which are uniformly distributed around the axis of the piston head 41 are in contact with the sealing ring 44 in the annular groove 43, so that the timing of the contact between the sealing ring 44 and the inner wall of the second channel 3 is controlled, the pushing member 6 arranged in the piston head 41 drives the arc-shaped plates 51 to move along the radial direction of the piston head 41, so that the sealing ring 44 is effectively pushed and expanded, the sealing ring 44 is in contact with the inner wall of the second channel 3, the sealing ring 44 is made of rubber material, so that the elastic force is accumulated when the sealing ring 44 is expanded, when the pushing member 6 no longer pushes the arc-shaped plates 51, the arc-shaped plates 51 lose the pushing force on the sealing ring 44, the sealing ring 44 is contracted under the elastic potential energy of the sealing ring 44, and the sealing ring 44 is no longer in contact with the inner wall of the second channel 3.
