During the liquid taking process of the liquid transfer tip, when the liquid in the liquid storage groove overflows, the overflowing liquid enters the backflow groove and is recovered into the liquid storage container through the backflow groove. Then, the liquid delivery driver supplements the liquid storage groove with liquid. During the supplementing process, the overflowing liquid is recovered into the liquid storage container through the backflow groove. At this time, the liquid level of the liquid storage groove is always kept flush with the top surface of the liquid storage groove, so that the liquid level of the liquid storage groove is balanced and stabilized, and the liquid level stability is effectively improved.

The liquid storage groove 202 and the backflow groove 204 are open to the pipette tip of the pipetting module, and the edge top surface of the liquid storage groove 202 is higher than the bottom of the backflow groove 204. The liquid inlet pipe of the liquid delivery driver 100 is in communication with the liquid storage groove 202, and is used to supplement the liquid to be taken from the liquid storage container into the liquid storage groove 202. The backflow groove 204 is in communication with the liquid storage container, so as to recover the liquid to be taken that overflows from the liquid storage groove 202 into the backflow groove 204.
[0030] In the embodiment, during the process of taking liquid by the pipette tip, when the liquid in the liquid storage groove 202 overflows, the overflowing liquid enters the backflow groove 204 and is recovered into the liquid storage container through the backflow groove 204. Then, the liquid delivery driver 100 supplements liquid into the liquid storage groove 202, and the overflowing liquid is recovered into the liquid storage container through the backflow groove 204 again during the process of supplementing. At this time, the liquid level of the liquid storage groove 202 is always kept flush with the top surface of the liquid storage groove 202, so that the liquid level of the liquid storage groove 202 is balanced and stable, and the empty taking of the pipetting module is avoided, and the liquid level stability is effectively improved.
[0031] In one of the embodiments, referring to Figure 2 The backflow groove 204 is arranged around the liquid storage groove 202. In the embodiment, the backflow groove 204 is located at the edge of the liquid storage groove 202, and is arranged separately from the liquid storage groove 202.

[0037] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The liquid level balance disc 220 is also provided with an overflow buffer groove 205 in communication with the liquid storage container, and the side wall of the overflow buffer groove 205 is provided with a groove top overflow discharge port 207 in communication with the backflow groove 204, which is used to guide part of the liquid overflowing from the liquid storage groove 202 and the backflow groove 204 into the overflow buffer groove 205. In this embodiment, the overflow buffer groove 205 is located on the liquid level balance disc 220, and is arranged close to the backflow groove 204. The overflow buffer groove 205 is in communication with the backflow groove 204 through the groove top overflow discharge port 207, so that the liquid overflowing from the backflow groove 204 and the liquid storage groove 202 enters the overflow buffer groove 205 through the groove top overflow discharge port 207, playing a role of secondary overflow buffer, effectively reducing the probability of liquid overflow.
[0038] Further, the liquid level balance disc 220 is further provided with an overflow outlet 209 which is in communication with the overflow buffer groove 205 and the liquid storage container.
