Abstract:

The present application discloses a valve comprising: a housing; at least one valve body disposed in the housing, the at least one valve body being rotatable in the housing; and at least one sealing element provided between the housing and the at least one valve body; at least one lifting structure configured to move the at least one sealing element upward and downward relative to the housing or the at least one valve body to adjust the relative distance between the at least one sealing element and the housing/the at least one valve body; wherein when the at least one valve body rotates, the at least one sealing element at least partially leaves the housing or the at least one valve body, so that the driving force required to rotate the valve body can be reduced.
