The present disclosure provides a valve assembly, including a housing, a valve body, a drive train assembly, a first magnetic component, a driving component, and a second magnetic component. The housing defining a first cavity and a second cavity which are independent of each other. The valve body is disposed in the first cavity. The drive train assembly is disposed in the first cavity to drive the valve body to rotate. The first magnetic component is disposed in the first cavity and disposed on the drive train assembly. The driving component is disposed in the second cavity. The second magnetic component is disposed in the second cavity and disposed on the driving component. The first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are configured such that the first magnetic component can rotate correspondingly as the second magnetic component rotates. The driving component is capable of driving the valve body to rotate by means of the first magnetic component, the second magnetic component and the drive train assembly. The present disclosure provides a valve assembly, which transmits power by means of the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component disposed in the first cavity and the second cavity, respectively, thereby eliminating the need for a seal while protecting the driving component.
