The rubber spring 225 is disposed between the distribution valve friction plate 224 and the distribution valve 26 to enable the distribution valve friction plate and the rear friction plate to be in close contact, thereby strengthening sealing. Further, a through-hole having a circular hole diameter slightly larger than or equal to the concrete cylinder 233 is disposed on the distribution valve friction plate 224, and baffle plates are disposed at both wings of the through-hole; when the through-hole of the distribution valve friction plate 224 is rotated to be between two concrete cylinders 233, the baffle plates at the both wings block outlets of the concrete cylinders 233.

The above pulsation-free wet spraying machine specifically works in the following process: firstly, material is poured into the hopper 21 and then flows into the material chamber 22 through the hopper 21, where the concrete piston 231 inside the concrete cylinder 233 of one concrete feeding mechanism 23 retracts to enable the concrete cylinder 233 to suck the material from the material chamber 22, and the other concrete feeding mechanism 23 pressurizes and pushes the material in the concrete cylinder 233 through the concrete piston 231, so that the material reaches the discharge pipe 25 through the distribution valve 26; the distribution valve 26 swings along with the mandrel 34, the concrete piston 231 of the concrete feeding mechanism 23 completing pumping retracts at this time to enable the corresponding concrete cylinder 233 to suck material from the material chamber 22, and the concrete piston 231 of the concrete feeding mechanism completing material sucking pushes the previously sucked material. In this way, the concrete feeding mechanism repeats the above work. In this process, when any one concrete feeding mechanism pumps the material, the auxiliary concrete piston 241 in the auxiliary concrete cylinder 243 connected with the discharge pipe 25 retracts to enable the auxiliary concrete cylinder 243 to suck the material from the auxiliary discharge pipe 253; when the distribution valve 26 swings, the auxiliary piston rod 242 of the auxiliary feeding mechanism 24 pushes the auxiliary concrete piston 241 to complete feeding. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, when the auxiliary feeding mechanism 24 pumps the material, the baffle plates at both wings of the distribution valve friction plate 224 block the outlets of the concrete cylinders 233 to ensure stable feeding. Therefore, the pumping pulsation phenomenon is avoided.
