[0019] Embodiment 1:

[0020] In the present application, by pressing the operating button 900, the piston rod 200 moves up and down to form air negative pressure to complete the suction and discharge of liquid. During the up and down movement of the piston rod 200, the lower end of the upper piston part 210 moves in the stroke space 430. In order to ensure good air negative pressure, the upper end of the annular tube connector 400 and the lower end of the upper piston part 210 need to be sealed.
