[0064] S31: If multiple branch channels 120 need to be opened simultaneously, the gas power source pipeline stops supplying gas to each gas control speed regulating valve, so that the diaphragm 220 is separated from each first transfer hole 131 and each second transfer hole 132, thereby realizing the opening of multiple branch channels 120.
[0065] S32: If a certain branch channel 120 needs to be opened, the gas power source pipeline stops supplying gas to the corresponding gas control speed regulating valve, so that the diaphragm 220 is separated from the corresponding first transfer hole 131 and the corresponding second transfer hole 132, thereby realizing the opening of the corresponding branch channel 120.
[0066] Specifically, when all branch channels 120 need to be closed, the gas power source pipe supplies gas to all gas control speed regulating valves, so that a large gas pressure is generated between the diaphragm 220 and the upper sealing plate 230. The large gas pressure causes the diaphragm 220 to tightly adhere to the bottom of all transfer grooves 130, thereby blocking the first transfer hole 131 and / or the second transfer hole 132, and further blocking the liquid inlet channel 110 and all branch channels 120, thereby realizing the closure of all branch channels 120. When a certain branch channel 120 needs to be closed, the gas power source pipe supplies gas to the corresponding gas control speed regulating valve, so that a large gas pressure is generated between the diaphragm 220 and the upper sealing plate 230. The large gas pressure causes the diaphragm 220 to tightly adhere to the bottom of the corresponding transfer groove 130, thereby blocking the first transfer hole 131 and / or the second transfer hole 132, and further blocking the liquid inlet channel 110 and the corresponding branch channel 120, thereby realizing the closure of the branch channel 120.
[0067] When all branch channels 120 need to be opened, the gas power source pipe stops supplying gas to all gas control speed regulating valves, so that there is no pressure difference between the diaphragm 220 and the upper sealing plate 230 and between the diaphragm 220 and all transfer grooves 130, i.e., the diaphragm 220 cannot tightly adhere to the bottom of all transfer grooves 130, thereby connecting the first transfer hole 131 and the second transfer hole 132, and further connecting the liquid inlet channel 110 and all branch channels 120, thereby realizing the opening of all branch channels 120. When a certain branch channel 120 needs to be opened, the gas power source pipe stops supplying gas to the corresponding gas control speed regulating valve, so that there is no pressure difference between the diaphragm 220 and the upper sealing plate 230 and between the diaphragm 220 and the corresponding transfer groove 130, i.e., the diaphragm 220 cannot tightly adhere to the bottom of the corresponding transfer groove 130, thereby connecting the first transfer hole 131 and the second transfer hole 132, and further connecting the liquid inlet channel 110 and the corresponding branch channel 120, thereby realizing the opening of the branch channel 120.
