[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are: the multi-channel distributor has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. When performing the distribution operation, the single-chip microcomputer is regulated to operate the reduction motor. The output shaft of the reduction motor rotates one circle, and then drives the quarter drive gear to rotate one circle through the driving circular plate. During the rotation process, the quarter drive gear meshes with the driven gear with one quarter of its own teeth, and then drives the driven gear to rotate forty-five degrees.

At this time, the external air pump can be regulated, and the telescopic cylinder at the corresponding position is operated, and the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder is extended, thereby driving the piston to move downward in the liquid storage tube. At the same time, the single-chip microcomputer is regulated, and the three-way solenoid valve at the corresponding position is opened to form a passage, and the specified liquid falls into the liquid storage cup through the discharge pipe at a conventional flow rate. At this time, the single-chip microcomputer, the three-way solenoid valve discharges the specified amount of liquid. At this time, due to the specified reaction time difference of the telescopic cylinder, the three-way solenoid valve is closed to prevent excess liquid from falling through the discharge pipe. The excess liquid will be discharged into the waste collection equipment along the waste liquid port, which can provide users with multiple types of liquids at the same time, and the liquid distribution has high accuracy.

[0028] The working principle of a multi-channel distributor provided by the utility model is as follows: during the distribution operation, the single-chip microcomputer 4 is regulated, the three solenoid valves 37 are opened, and the external feeding device is regulated to input liquid into the liquid storage tube 31. During this period, the external air pump is regulated, and the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 35 is contracted, thereby driving the piston 32 to move upward. At this time, the scale line 8 can be observed, and the specified liquid is added to the liquid storage tube 31. After the feeding is completed, the liquid cup 7 can be placed inside the placement groove 63 on the front side. At this time, the single-chip microcomputer 4 can be regulated, and the solenoid valve 37 is closed to seal the liquid in the liquid storage tube 31 to realize the feeding function. When the distribution operation is required, the single-chip microcomputer 4 is regulated, and the reduction motor 67 is operated. The output shaft of the reduction motor 67 rotates one circle, and then drives the quarter drive gear 66 to rotate one circle through the driving circular plate 65. During the rotation process, the quarter drive gear 66 meshes with the driven gear 64 with one quarter of its own teeth, thereby driving the driven gear 64 to rotate forty-five degrees. After the driven gear 64 rotates forty-five degrees, the quarter drive gear 6 6 loses its meshing with the driven gear 64, thereby driving the placement plate 62 to rotate forty-five degrees, thereby changing the position of the liquid cup 7. At this time, the single-chip computer 4 can be regulated to move the liquid cup 7 to the lower end of the designated discharge pipe 33. At this time, the external air pump can be regulated to operate the telescopic cylinder 35 at the corresponding position, and the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 35 is extended, thereby driving the piston 32 to move downward in the liquid storage pipe 31. At the same time, the single-chip computer 4 is regulated to open the three-way solenoid valve 34 at the corresponding position to form a passage, and the designated liquid is discharged in the form of a discharge pipe 33. The normal flow rate falls into the interior of the liquid cup 7 through the discharge pipe 33, and the single-chip microcomputer 4 can be regulated at this time. After the three-way solenoid valve 34 discharges the specified amount of liquid, at this time, due to the specified reaction time difference of the telescopic cylinder 35, the three-way solenoid valve 34 is closed to prevent excess liquid from falling through the discharge pipe 33. The excess liquid will be discharged into the waste collection equipment through the waste liquid port. After completing the operation, the single-chip microcomputer 4 can be regulated, and the liquid cup 7 can be moved to the front side. At this time, the liquid cup 7 is manually picked up to complete the distribution operation.

[0029] It is worth noting that the single chip microcomputer 4 disclosed in the above embodiment is specifically model S7-200, and the three-way solenoid valve 34, the solenoid valve 37 and the reduction motor 67 can be freely configured according to the actual application scenario. The three-way solenoid valve 34 is recommended to use the ZCF model anti-corrosion two-position three-way solenoid valve, the solenoid valve 37 is recommended to use the N1 M251 series solenoid valve, and the reduction motor 67 is recommended to use the NEMA23 model precision planetary reduction stepper motor. The single chip microcomputer 4 controls the three-way solenoid valve 34, the solenoid valve 37 and the reduction motor 67 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
