The funnel is equivalent to increasing the tube mouth of the sampling tube, increasing the feeding speed and reducing the feeding difficulty. In addition, multiple funnels are installed in the utility model, and each sampling tube corresponds to a funnel one by one. There is no need to replace the funnel during the feeding process, and multiple sampling tubes can be fed in a short time, which improves the sampling efficiency. After the feeding is completed, the electric push rod is turned on again. The electric push rod is shortened to the original position or continues to extend forward, so that the rack can be pushed away from the position of the feeding plate, which is convenient for the next step of sealing and taking the tube.
