The water hammer phenomenon not only produces a lot of noise and vibration, but also causes serious impact and damage to the pipeline, valve and related equipment, shortens the service life of the equipment, and the unadjustable opening and closing speed makes it difficult for the check valve to adapt to the fluid flow characteristics under different working conditions. In the system with large flow variation or complex fluid medium characteristics, the traditional check valve cannot flexibly adjust the movement speed of the sealing piston according to the actual demand, resulting in large pressure fluctuation of the system, unstable fluid flow, and further affecting the operation efficiency and stability of the whole system.

Since sealing plug 4 and piston block 7 are fixedly connected through connecting rod 6, under the action of fluid pressure, sealing plug 4 pushes piston block 7 to slide right in piston cylinder 8.
