[0039] The brief workflow of the present invention is as follows:

[0040] When the first shaker cup body 30 reaches the shaker station, the lifting device 60 drives the first shaker cup cover 41 to move downward and absorbs the shaker cup body 30 through the electromagnet, and at the same time, the second shaker cup cover 42 is buckled on the second cleaning device 52 and absorbs the cleaning component 502 through the electromagnet, and then the lifting device 60 retracts. After the position sensor detects that the lifting device 60 has retracted to the position, the driving motor 82 drives the shaker flywheel 81 to perform the shake action. While the shake action is being performed, the solenoid valve is opened, and the water inlet pipe 521 transports pure water through the nozzle 5211 to clean the second shaker cup cover 42. After completion, the lifting device 60 descends, the electromagnet is powered off, the corresponding shaker cup body 30 is put back on the circulation line and the corresponding cleaning component 502 is released, and then the transposition motor rotates 90° clockwise;

[0041] When the second shaker cup 30 reaches the shaker station, the lifting device 60 drives the second shaker cup cover 42 to move downward and absorbs the shaker cup body 30 through the electromagnet. At the same time, the first shaker cup cover 41 is buckled on the first cleaning device 51 and absorbs the cleaning component 502 through the electromagnet. Then the lifting device 60 retracts. After the position sensor detects that the lifting device 60 has retracted into place, the drive motor 82 drives the shaker flywheel 81 to perform the shaker action. While the shaker action is being performed, the solenoid valve opens, and the water inlet pipe 521 transports pure water through the nozzle 5211 to clean the first shaker cup cover 41. After completion, the lifting device 60 descends, the electromagnet is powered off, the corresponding shaker cup body 30 is put back on the circulation line and the corresponding cleaning component 502 is released. Subsequently, the transposition motor rotates 90° counterclockwise; and the above two steps are repeated.

[0042] The shaker mechanism of the present invention has a cleaning device, which can automatically clean the cup cover after shaking. On the one hand, the shaker and the cleaning are combined into one, which reduces the space occupied by the equipment, and on the other hand, it can greatly reduce the labor intensity and improve the work efficiency. In addition, the shaker mechanism of the present invention includes two groups of cleaning devices and two groups of cup covers, which can perform the shake action alternately, and clean the other cup cover while performing the shake action, which greatly improves the work efficiency.
