Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a reaction cup dispensing mechanism and a reaction cup output device. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese patent CN202011134769 discloses a fully automated photo-induced chemiluminescence detector, which includes a cup arrangement module. This module can organize disordered reaction cups into an orderly arrangement. However, this module has a risk of cup jamming. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 1 When the first drive unit rotates counterclockwise, it can push the reaction cup to roll to the right. During the rolling process, the reaction cup moves along the reaction cup slide. However, since the rim and body of the reaction cup have no limit, the rim and body of the reaction cup are not synchronized during the rolling process, which can easily cause the reaction cup to tilt and get stuck at the entrance of the reaction cup slide. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To solve or partially solve the problems existing in the related technologies, this application provides a reaction cup feeding mechanism and a reaction cup output device, which can avoid the phenomenon of cup jamming during reaction cup transportation.
[0004] The first aspect of this application provides a reaction cup actuation mechanism, which includes a front lever, a rear lever, and a rotating shaft; the front lever and the rear lever are coaxially arranged, and the front lever and / or the rear lever are hinged to the rotating shaft, and the front lever rotates around the rotating shaft; the front lever has a structure that matches the rim and body of the reaction cup; the rear lever has a structure that matches the body of the reaction cup; when the front lever and the rear lever actuate the reaction cup, the front lever and the rear lever rotate synchronously so that the central axis of the moving reaction cup is always perpendicular to the direction of movement.
[0005] Furthermore, the front lever includes a main body, a first extension arm, a second extension arm, and an extension arm; the main body is connected to the first extension arm and the second extension arm respectively, and the main body, the first extension arm, and the second extension arm combine to form a first notch, the shape of the first notch matching the shape of the rim of the reaction cup; one end of the extension arm is connected to the second extension arm or the main body, and the other end of the extension arm matches the shape of the body of the reaction cup.
[0006] Furthermore, the extension arm includes a first segment and a second segment, one end of the first segment is connected to the second extension arm or the main body, the second segment is connected to the first segment, and the second segment extends radially along the rotation axis.
[0007] Furthermore, the first notch is arc-shaped, and the central axis of the first notch is parallel to the axial direction of the rotation axis.
[0008] Furthermore, the rear lever includes a body, a first limiting arm, and a second limiting arm. The body, the first limiting arm, and the second limiting arm combine to form an arc-shaped second notch, the shape of which matches the shape of the reaction cup body.
[0009] Furthermore, the central axis of the first notch and the central axis of the second notch are the same.
[0010] Furthermore, the rear derailleur also includes a support arm, which comprises a third segment and a fourth segment. One end of the third segment is connected to the second limiting arm or the body, and the fourth segment is connected to the third segment. The fourth segment extends radially along the rotation axis.
[0011] A second aspect of this application provides a reaction cup output device, including an output mechanism, a base, and a reaction cup dispensing mechanism. The reaction cup dispensing mechanism is hinged to the base via a rotating shaft. The base has a slide rail extending from top to bottom. The output mechanism is located on one side of the base and is used to deliver the reaction cup to the reaction cup dispensing mechanism. The reaction cup dispensing mechanism is rotated relative to the base so that the front dispensing lever and the rear dispensing lever swing between the output mechanism and the slide rail.
[0012] Furthermore, the base is provided with a clearance groove, which is connected to the slide rail. When the reaction cup dispensing mechanism is flipped relative to the base, the front dispensing handle or the rear dispensing handle moves back and forth between the slide rail and the clearance groove.
[0013] Furthermore, the slide includes a first slide groove and a second slide groove, the second slide groove being located within the first slide groove, the width of the first slide groove being greater than the width of the rim of the reaction cup, the width of the second slide groove being greater than the width of the body of the reaction cup, and the width of the second slide groove being less than the width of the rim of the reaction cup.
[0014] The technical solution provided in this application may include the following beneficial effects: the rim of the reaction cup is limited by the first extension arm and the second extension arm, and the body of the reaction cup is supported by the extension arm.

[0031] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a reaction cup feeding mechanism and a reaction cup output device, which can prevent the reaction cup from jamming during transport.
[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the reaction cup dispensing mechanism shown in an embodiment of this application.
[0034] See Figure 2The reaction cup shifting mechanism includes a front shifter 1, a rear shifter 2, and a rotating shaft 3. The front shifter 1 and rear shifter 2 are coaxially arranged; when the front shifter 1 rotates, the rear shifter 2 rotates accordingly; when the rear shifter 2 rotates, the front shifter 1 rotates accordingly. One of the front shifter 1 and rear shifter 2 is connected to the rotating shaft 3, or both the front shifter 1 and rear shifter 2 are connected to the rotating shaft 3. The front shifter 1 and rear shifter 2 can rotate around the rotating shaft under the drive of a power source, which can be a motor.
[0035] See Figure 2 The front lever 1 has a structure that matches the rim 101 and body 102 of the reaction cup 100. When the reaction cup actuation mechanism moves the reaction cup 100, the front lever 1 can position the rim 101 and body 102 of the reaction cup 100. The rear lever 2 has a structure that matches the body 102 of the reaction cup 100. The rear lever 2 can provide auxiliary positioning for the body 102 of the reaction cup 100. In actual use, when the reaction cup 100 enters the reaction cup actuation mechanism, the front lever 1 and the rear lever 2 can move the reaction cup 100 together. Through the synchronous rotation of the front lever 1 and the rear lever 2, the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 can be positioned by the front lever 1, and the body 102 of the reaction cup 100 can be positioned by the front lever 1 and the rear lever 2, so that the central axis of the moving reaction cup 100 is always perpendicular to the direction of movement.
[0036] This application, by having the front lever 1 have a structure that matches the rim 101 and body 102 of the reaction cup 100, and the rear lever 2 have a structure that matches the body 102 of the reaction cup 100, enables the reaction cup shifting mechanism to position the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 through the front lever 1, and to position the body 102 of the reaction cup 100 through the front lever 1 and the rear lever 2. This ensures that the reaction cup 100 maintains its posture during the shifting process, the central axis of the reaction cup 100 is always perpendicular to the direction of movement, and the reaction cup 100 always remains in a horizontal position, ensuring that the reaction cup 100 does not jam during the transport process.
[0037] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the front shifter structure shown in an embodiment of this application.
[0038] See Figure 2 and Figure 3The front derailleur 1 includes a main body 11, a first extension arm 12, a second extension arm 13, and an extension arm 14. The main body 11 has a hinge hole extending horizontally, into which a rotating shaft 3 can be inserted. The main body 11 can rotate around the rotating shaft 3. When the hinge hole is inserted into the rotating shaft 3, the axis of the rotating shaft 3 is horizontal, and the main body 11 can be flipped up and down. One end of the first extension arm 12 is connected to the main body 11, and when the main body 11 is flipped up and down, the first extension arm 12 rotates accordingly. One end of the second extension arm 13 is connected to the main body 11, and when the main body 11 is flipped up and down, the second extension arm 13 rotates accordingly.
[0039] See Figure 3 The main body 11, the first extension arm 12, and the second extension arm 13 combine to form a first notch 15. The central axis of the first notch 15 extends horizontally. The shape of the first notch 15 matches the shape of the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100. The inner surface of the first notch 15 can be attached to the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100. When the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 is located in the notch 15, the reaction cup lever flips up and down, and the reaction cup 100 rotates accordingly until the reaction cup 100 loses the support of the extension arm 14 and the reaction cup 100 disengages from the first notch 15.
[0040] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 One end of the extension arm 14 is connected to the second extension arm 13 or the main body 11. Preferably, one end of the extension arm 14 is connected to the second extension arm 13. The other end of the extension arm 14 matches the shape of the reaction cup body. The end of the extension arm 14 away from the second extension arm 13 can position the reaction cup body. The rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 is limited by the first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13. The end of the extension arm 14 away from the second extension arm 13 supports the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100. While supporting the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100, the extension arm 14 can also limit the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100, so that the central axis of the reaction cup 100 is always perpendicular to the direction of movement when the reaction cup 100 is moved by the reaction cup lever.
[0041] See Figure 2 and Figure 3The extension arm 14 includes a first segment 141 and a second segment 142. The first segment 141 is connected to the second extension arm 13, and the extension direction of the first segment 141 is the same as the axis of rotation. The second segment 142 is connected to the end of the first segment away from the second extension arm 13. The second segment 142 extends from the second extension arm 13 toward the first extension arm 12 and extends radially along the rotation axis 3. The end of the second segment 142 away from the first segment 141 can support the reaction cup 100. The end of the second segment 142 away from the first segment 141 is rotated through the main body 11, thereby supporting or detaching from the body 102 of the reaction cup 100. When the end of the second segment 142 away from the first segment 141 supports the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100, the first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 limit the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 so that the central axis of the moving reaction cup 100 is always perpendicular to the direction of movement.
[0042] Figure 4 This is a plan view of the front shifter shown in an embodiment of this application.
[0043] See Figure 2-4Specifically, when the reaction cup 100 needs to enter the first notch 15, the reaction cup 100 is in a horizontal position, that is, the opening of the reaction cup 100 faces horizontally. The reaction cup dispensing mechanism flips downward, and the first notch 15 faces downward. The first notch 15 is the part of the first notch 15 that is not blocked radially by the first extension arm 12 or the second extension arm 13. After the reaction cup 100 enters the first notch 15, the second section 142 supports the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100. The first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 surround the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100. The first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 are located on both sides of the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100, respectively. The first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 support the reaction cup 100. The rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 is limited, and the rear lever 2 simultaneously limits the body 102 of the reaction cup 100, so that the reaction cup 100 can always remain in a horizontal position. When the reaction cup lever needs to move the reaction cup 100 to the other side, the reaction cup lever flips upward, and the first extension arm 12 gradually moves towards the bottom of the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100. The first extension arm 12 and the extension arm 14 simultaneously support the reaction cup 100. At this time, the second segment 142 moves upward along the body 102 of the reaction cup 100 until the body 102 of the reaction cup 100 is freed from the support of the extension arm 14. The body 102 of the reaction cup 100 loses the positioning of the rear lever 2, and the reaction cup 100 loses the support of the second segment 142 and slides off the first extension arm 12. Since the rim 101 and body 102 of the reaction cup 100 are different sizes, the reaction cup 100 is in a horizontal position when the reaction cup actuation mechanism actuates it. To prevent the reaction cup 100 from becoming unbalanced when actuated by the reaction cup actuation mechanism, the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 is supported by the first extension arm 12, the body 102 of the reaction cup 100 is supported by the second section 142, and the rear lever 2 supports the body 102 of the reaction cup 100, so that the reaction cup 100 can always remain in a horizontal position when the reaction cup actuation mechanism actuates it.
[0044] See Figure 2-4 The first notch 15 is arc-shaped, and the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 is annular. The central axis of the first notch 15 is parallel to the axis of rotation 3, allowing the first notch 15 to fit better against the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100. The first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 can more securely position the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100. The arc length of the first notch 15 is less than half the circumference of the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100, ensuring that the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 can detach from the first notch 15.
[0045] Figure 5 This is a plan view of the rear shifter shown in an embodiment of this application.
[0046] See Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the rear lever 2 includes a body 21, a first limiting arm 22, and a second limiting arm 23. The body 21 is connected to the main body 11 and is coaxially arranged with the main body 11. The body 21 flips up and down as the main body 11 flips. One end of the first limiting arm 22 is connected to the body 21. When the body 21 flips up and down, the first limiting arm 22 rotates accordingly. The first limiting arm 22 extends outward from the body 21, and the extension direction of the first limiting arm 22 is parallel to the extension direction of the first extension arm 12. When the extension arm 14 supports the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100, the first limiting arm 22 abuts against the obliquely lower part of the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100. The first limiting arm 22 can limit the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100, preventing the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100 from tilting, so that the reaction cup 100 remains in a horizontal position. By using the first limiting arm 22 in conjunction with the first extending arm 12 to limit the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100, the reaction cup 100 is kept more stably in a horizontal position when the reaction cup lever is turned, thereby preventing the reaction cup 100 from becoming unbalanced.
[0047] See Figure 2 and Figure 5 The first limiting arm 22 and the second limiting arm 23 combine to form an arc-shaped second notch 24, preferably U-shaped. The shape of the second notch 24 matches the shape of the body 102 of the reaction cup 100. The second notch 24 is used to accommodate the body 102 of the reaction cup 100, thereby limiting the body 102 of the reaction cup 100, so that the reaction cup 100 remains more stably horizontal when the reaction cup lever is turned. Preferably, the distance between the first limiting arm 22 and the second limiting arm 23 is the diameter of the body 102 of the reaction cup 100, so that after the reaction cup 100 is detached from the support of the extension arm 14, the body 102 of the reaction cup 100 can slide more stably from the limiting opening, and the reaction cup 100 will not lose balance during the sliding process.
[0048] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the central axis of the first notch 15 and the central axis of the second notch 24 are the same. Since the central axis of the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 is the same as the central axis of the body 102 of the reaction cup 100, and the central axis of the first notch 15 and the central axis of the second notch 24 are the same, it is ensured that the first limiting arm 22 and the second limiting arm 23 are in contact with the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100, while the first limiting arm 22 and the second limiting arm 23 can also be in contact with the body 102 of the reaction cup 100. When the reaction cup actuating mechanism actuates the reaction cup 100, the reaction cup 100 is more stably kept in a horizontal position.
[0049] See Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the rear lever 2 further includes a support arm 25, one end of which is connected to the second limiting arm 23 or the body 21. Preferably, one end of the support arm 25 is connected to the second limiting arm 23. The distance between the first limiting arm 22 and the second limiting arm 23 is greater than the diameter of the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100. The other end of the support arm 25 is located on the other side of the second notch 24 opposite to the first limiting arm 22. When the extension arm 14 supports the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100, the support arm 25 supports the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100. Specifically, the support arm 25 includes a third segment and a fourth segment. One end of the third segment is connected to the second limiting arm 23 or the body 21, and the fourth segment is connected to the third segment. The fourth segment extends radially along the rotation axis 3, and the end of the fourth segment away from the third segment can abut against the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100 and limit and support the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100. The extension arm 14 and the support arm 25 simultaneously support the body 102 of the reaction cup 100, making the reaction cup 100 more stable when it is moved by the reaction cup moving mechanism. When the reaction cup 100 rolls off the extension arm 14 and the support arm 25, it can remain in a horizontal position, ensuring that the reaction cup 100 can remain in a horizontal position after it is detached from the extension arm 14 and the support arm 25, without the phenomenon of the cup getting stuck.
[0050] Corresponding to the aforementioned application function implementation device embodiments, this application also provides a reaction cup output device and corresponding embodiments.
[0051] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the reaction cup output device shown in the embodiments of this application; Figure 7 This is another schematic diagram of the reaction cup output device shown in the embodiments of this application.
[0052] See Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The reaction cup output device includes a base 4, an output mechanism 5, and a reaction cup dispensing mechanism. The base 4 has a slide 41 extending from top to bottom, allowing the reaction cup 100 to slide down along it. The reaction cup dispensing mechanism is hinged to the base 4 via a rotating shaft 3, and can rotate up and down relative to the base 4. The output mechanism 5 is located on one side of the base 4 and is used to convey the reaction cup 100 to the reaction cup dispensing mechanism. The reaction cup mechanism flips relative to the base 4, causing the front lever 1 and the rear lever 2 to swing between the output mechanism and the slide 41. This allows the front lever 1 and the rear lever 2 to receive the reaction cup 100 output by the output mechanism 5, and then move the reaction cup 100 to the slide 41. The reaction cup 100 then disengages from the front lever 1 and the rear lever 2 and rolls into the slide 41. During the process of being moved by the front lever 1 and the rear lever 2, the cup body 102 and the cup rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 are limited by the front lever 1 and the rear lever 2, ensuring that the central axis of the reaction cup 100 is always perpendicular to the direction of movement. The reaction cup 100 will not get stuck when it is transported to the slide 41.
[0053] Figure 8 This is a plan view of the reaction cup output device shown in the embodiments of this application; Figure 9 This is another plan view of the reaction cup output device shown in the embodiments of this application.
[0054] See Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9Specifically, the reaction cup dispensing mechanism flips up and down relative to the base 4 so that the first notch 15 faces the slide 41 or is offset from the slide 41. When the reaction cup dispensing mechanism flips the reaction cup 100 upward and makes the first notch 15 and the second notch 24 face the slide 41, the extension arm 14 and the first limiting arm 22 lose support for the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100, and the reaction cup 100 detaches from the extension arm 14 and the first limiting arm 22, falls into the slide 41, and rolls down the slide 41. When the first notch 15 and the second notch 24 are simultaneously offset from the slide 41, if the reaction cup 100 is in the first notch 15, the extension arm 14 and the first limiting arm 22 support the reaction cup 100, the first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 surround the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100, and the first limiting arm 22 and the second limiting arm 23 surround the body 102 of the reaction cup 100. The first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 limit the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100, and the first limiting arm 22 limits the body 102 of the reaction cup 100. At this time, the central axis of the reaction cup 100 is always perpendicular to the direction of movement. The first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 limit the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100, and the extension arm 14 supports and limits the body 102 of the reaction cup 100. The first limiting arm 22, together with the extension arm 14, supports and limits the body 102 of the reaction cup 100, so that when the reaction cup 100 is moved by the reaction cup moving mechanism, the central axis of the reaction cup 100 is always perpendicular to the direction of movement of the reaction cup 100, and the reaction cup 100 always remains in a horizontal position, ensuring that the reaction cup 100 will not get stuck when it is transported to the slide 41.
[0055] See Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the extension arm 14 is located on the other side of the notch 15 opposite to the first extension arm 12. The base 4 has a clearance groove 42, which is connected to the slide rail 41 and is located above the slide rail 41. When the reaction cup dispensing mechanism flips up and down relative to the base 4, the extension arm 14 and / or the support arm 25 can move back and forth between the slide rail 41 and the clearance groove 42. When the reaction cup dispensing mechanism flips upward, the extension arm 14 and / or the support arm 25 can enter the clearance groove 42, which provides space for the movement of the extension arm 14 and / or the support arm 25 and prevents the extension arm 14 and / or the support arm 25 from blocking the reaction cup 100 from rolling in the slide. When the reaction cup dispensing mechanism flips downward, the extension arm 14 and / or the support arm 25 can enter the slide from the clearance groove 42, at which time the extension arm 14 and / or the support arm 25 can support the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100. Preferably, the clearance groove 42 is arc-shaped and can be used to limit the extension arm 14 and / or support arm 25. When the notch 15 is directly opposite the slide rail 41, the extension arm 14 and / or support arm 25 abut against the top surface of the clearance groove 42, preventing the reaction cup shifting mechanism from over-flipping upwards. In some embodiments, the rear derailleur 2 is located on the side of the front derailleur 1 near the base 4, and the clearance groove 42 can make way for the support arm 25 and the extension arm 14, or the clearance groove 42 can only make way for the support arm 25.
[0056] See Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the slide 41 includes a first slide groove 411 and a second slide groove 412, with the second slide groove 412 located within the first slide groove 411. The first slide groove 411 is used to receive the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100, and the second slide groove 412 is used to receive the body 102 of the reaction cup 100. The width of the first slide groove 411 is greater than the width of the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100, and the width of the second slide groove 412 is greater than the width of the body 102 of the reaction cup 100, but less than the width of the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100. Preferably, the spacing of the first slide groove 411 is the same as the maximum spacing of the first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 23, so that the influence of the surrounding environment on the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 is reduced during the process of the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 entering the first slide groove 411 from the first notch 15; the spacing of the second slide groove 412 is the same as the maximum spacing of the first limiting arm 22 and the second limiting arm 23, so that the influence of the surrounding environment on the body 102 of the reaction cup 100 is reduced during the process of the body 102 of the reaction cup 100 entering the second slide groove 412 from the second notch 24. When the reaction cup 100 rolls down along the slide 41, the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 can abut against the first slide 41 and roll along the first slide 41, and the body 102 of the reaction cup 100 can abut against the second slide 41 and roll along the second slide 41. As the reaction cup 100 rolls down the slide 41, the first slide 41 limits the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100, and the second slide 41 limits the body 102 of the reaction cup 100, ensuring that the reaction cup 100 remains horizontal as it rolls down the slide 41, preventing it from getting stuck. Through the cooperation of the first slide 411, the second slide 412, and the extension arm 14, the central axis of the reaction cup 100 remains perpendicular to its direction of movement during the action of the reaction cup actuation mechanism and as it rolls along the slide 41, ensuring stability during the transport of the reaction cup 100.
[0057] See Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the base 4 is provided with a limiting block 43. The limiting block 43 is located on the side of the first extension arm 12 away from the slide rail 41. The limiting block 43 is used to limit the reaction cup lever. When the reaction cup lever is flipped downward to the limit, the first extension arm 12 abuts against the limiting block 43. The limiting block 43 can prevent the reaction cup lever from continuing to flip away from the slide rail 41. At this time, the reaction cup 100 can enter the notch 15.
[0058] See Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9During the actual operation of the reaction cup output device, when the reaction cup dispensing mechanism flips downwards, causing the first extension arm 12 to abut against the limiting block 43, the reaction cup dispensing mechanism stops flipping. At this time, the output end of the output mechanism 5 is directly opposite the first notch 15. The output mechanism 5 continues to rotate, causing the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100 to pass through the first notch 15, while the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 falls into the first notch 15. The cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100 is located in the second notch 24. At this time, the first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 surround the reaction cup 100. The rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 is limited, and the first limiting arm 22 and the second limiting arm 23 surround the body 102 of the reaction cup 100. The first limiting arm 22 limits the body 102 of the reaction cup 100, and the reaction cup 100 is in a horizontal position with its central axis extending horizontally. Then, the reaction cup turning mechanism flips upward, and the first extension arm 12 gradually moves towards the bottom end of the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100. The first extension arm 12, the extension arm 14, and the first limiting arm 22 simultaneously limit the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100. The reaction cup 100 is supported by the extension arm 14, which gradually moves upward along the body 102 of the reaction cup 100 until the body 102 of the reaction cup 100 is detached from the support of the extension arm 14. The reaction cup 100 then loses the support of the extension arm 14 and slides off the first extension arm 12 and the first limiting arm 22, thus entering the slide rail 41. During the process of the reaction cup 100 being moved by the reaction cup moving mechanism, the body 102 of the reaction cup 100 is supported by the extension arm 14 and the first limiting arm 22, and the rim 101 of the reaction cup 100 is supported by the first extension arm 12. The reaction cup 100 is supported so that its central axis is always perpendicular to the direction of movement, and the reaction cup 100 remains in a horizontal position. The reaction cup 100 also remains in a horizontal position the moment it detaches from the first extension arm 12, the first limiting arm 22 and the extension arm 14, and enters the slide 41 in a horizontal position. The first slide 411 and the second slide 412 then support the cup edge 101 and the cup body 102 of the reaction cup 100 respectively, so that the reaction cup 100 can remain in a horizontal position when it rolls down the slide 41, thereby preventing the reaction cup 100 from getting stuck in the slide 41.
