However, after loading solid powders once, the above device can only be dispensed once. To perform the second dispensing, it is necessary to refill. And because the solid powder particles are small, when using the above device for dispensing, the powder is very easy to enter between the metering plate and the powder leakage plate, causing cross-contamination and affecting the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need for a metering and dispensing device to solve the problems existing in the related technologies. Summary of the Utility Model

The small-diameter end of the storage hole B is away from the side of the storage plate A and the aperture is less than or equal to that of the metering hole.

[0009] Preferably, it further includes a plurality of positioning blocks arranged on the storage component and a plurality of positioning grooves arranged on the metering plate. The positioning blocks cooperate with the positioning grooves to fix the position of the metering plate relative to the storage component when the metering holes are aligned with the storage holes B or the metering holes are aligned with the dispensing holes.

[0018] Preferably, the dispensing plate, the storage plate B and the storage plate A are sequentially bolted in the reverse direction of material falling, and the storage plate A and the cover plate are bolted in the direction of material falling.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this application compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0020] (1) Through the technical solution of the present utility model, multiple quantitative dispensing can be carried out. Each quantitative dispensing operation can obtain multiple equal amounts of substances, and the weight error between each dispensed substance is small, and the error range can be used in high-throughput chemical experiments; and the aperture size and thickness of the metering holes in the metering plate can be customized according to experimental requirements, so as to control the weight of the substances in each metering hole during a single dispensing process.

[0021] (2) Through the technical solution of the present utility model, the storage component is divided into the storage plate A and the storage plate B.

By means of the rubber sleeve, the risk that the substance to be sub-packaged (such as powder or bright beads) enters between the storage plate B and the metering plate during material falling and sub-packaging can be avoided, and the situation of cross-contamination can be avoided.
