In the direction from the ring pipe 31 to the periphery, the umbrella cover 32 gradually extends towards the floating body 10, so that a sealing cavity for sealing can be formed after the umbrella cover 32 is attached to the float cavity 300, and sealing is realized. In addition, along with the liquid level decline of float cavity 300, the umbrella face of canopy 32 can receive buoyancy, combines the buoyancy F that body 10 received again, and the internal and external pressure differential of sealing member 30 is different this moment, can appear pressure F on the canopy 32, sticiss sealing member 30 on the surface of inlet 300a, avoids body 10 to descend immediately after buoyancy F changes to when the liquid level reduces, form extra power F and seal inlet 300 a. And along with the decline of liquid level, buoyancy F descends, and when the liquid level dropped to minimum liquid level B, F + F was < G this moment, and body 10 just can be because of gravity G sinks, opens inlet 300a, the feed liquor again. It should be noted that G, F, f has the following relationship in the above process: fmax > G > f. Wherein F is buoyancy and is variable, and Fmax is maximum buoyancy.
