The invention discloses a strut type shuttle valve comprising a main valve body provided with a first air inlet, a second air inlet and an air outlet, and a main valve plug which can move between a first position and a second position is arranged in the valve cavity of the main valve body; when the main valve plug is arranged on the first position, the first air inlet is communicated with the airoutlet, and the second air inlet is not communicated with the air outlet; when the main valve plug is arranged on the second position, the second air inlet is communicated with the air outlet, and the first air inlet is not communicated with the air outlet. Two ends of the main valve body are respectively provided with a thrust device, two thrust devices are respectively connected with two ends of the main valve plug, and the thrust devices can push the main valve plug to move. The main valve plug of the shuttle valve with the structure is not directly driven by air inflow from the air inlet,thus avoiding direct shock to the main valve plug by the air inflow; therefore, the stuck phenomenon of the main valve plug can be avoided, and the problem of blow-by gas between air inlets can be effectively solved.
