1. A gate valve comprising: a valve box comprising: a hollow portion; a first opening portion and a second opening portion that are provided so as to sandwich the hollow portion; an inner surface formed around the first opening portion; and a flow passage passing through the hollow portion, the first opening portion, and the second opening portion;a support body disposed inside the hollow portion;a valve plate comprising: a fixed valving section that is securely fixed to the support body and has a first outer-peripheral face which is located on an outer side in a radial direction of the fixed valving section; a movable valving section disposed so as to surround the first outer-peripheral face of the fixed valving section; a first peripheral region; and a second peripheral region, the movable valving section sliding in a direction in which the flow passage is extended, the movable valving section comprising a first seal portion which is in contact with the inner surface and is pressed onto the inner surface;a first biasing section disposed at the first peripheral region, allowing the movable valving section to move toward the first opening portion, allowing the movable valving section to come into contact with the inner surface, pressing the movable valving section onto the inner surface, and closing the flow passage, the first biasing section being an elastic element provided directly below the first seal portion in the movable valving section; anda second biasing section disposed at the second peripheral region, allowing the movable valving section to move toward the second opening portion, and releasing the flow passage by separating the movable valving section from the inner surface. 2. The gate valve according to claim 1, wherein the second biasing section is a single air cylinder which is formed between the fixed valving section and the movable valving section in the second peripheral region and which is ring-shaped. 3. The gate valve according to claim 1, wherein the first biasing section is arranged in parallel with a direction in which the movable valving section slides and is located adjacent to the second biasing section. 4. The gate valve according to claim 1, wherein the fixed valving section includes second seal portions, third seal portions, a second outer-peripheral face, a first intermediate air chamber, and a second intermediate air chamber,the first intermediate air chamber is formed on the first outer-peripheral face and is partitioned by the second seal portions, andthe second intermediate air chamber is formed on the second outer-peripheral face and is partitioned by the third seal portions. 5. The gate valve according to claim 4, further comprising: a pressure gauge provided to measure a pressure inside the first intermediate air chamber and the second intermediate air chamber. 6. The gate valve according to claim 4, further comprising: circular ring-shaped wipers provided on the first outer-peripheral face and the second outer-peripheral face, whereinthe wipers come into contact with a first inner-peripheral face and a second inner-peripheral face of the movable valving section. 7. The gate valve according to claim 1, wherein the fixed valving section includes second seal portions, third seal portions, an inner-side face which is opposite to the first outer-peripheral face, a first intermediate air chamber, and a second intermediate air chamber,the first intermediate air chamber is formed on the first outer-peripheral face and is partitioned by the second seal portions, andthe second intermediate air chamber is formed on the inner-side face and is partitioned by the third seal portions. 8. The gate valve according to claim 7, further comprising: a pressure gauge provided to measure a pressure inside the first intermediate air chamber and the second intermediate air chamber. 9. The gate valve according to claim 7, further comprising: circular ring-shaped wipers provided on the first outer-peripheral face and the inner-side face, whereinthe wipers come into contact with a first inner-peripheral face and an opposed face of the movable valving section. 10. The gate valve according to claim 1, wherein the fixed valving section is exposed to both the first opening portion and the second opening portion in a state where the first opening portion is covered with the valve plate.
