[0043] In this embodiment: the bottom end of the buffer spring 23 is connected to the second sleeve 24, the side wall of the second sleeve 24 is installed with an inclined link 25, one end of the rod body of the inclined link 25 is provided with a first link 26, the bottom end of the first link 26 is hinged with a damping transmission roller 27, the bottom side of the damping transmission roller 27 is provided with an arc-shaped bracket 28, the bottom end of the arc-shaped bracket 28 is installed with a second link 29, the side wall of the second link 29 is installed with a funnel transmission base 291, and the bottom end of the funnel transmission base 291 is provided with a covering sleeve 292.

[0044] The purpose of the funnel transmission base 291 is to realize the rotation of one end of the funnel transmission base 291, mainly to realize the automatic conversion of the angular position of the transmission disk 31 in a better and more convenient way.

[0045] In this embodiment: the replacement mechanism 3 includes a transmission disk 31 installed at the bottom end of the funnel transmission base 291, several U-shaped fitting brackets 32 on the side wall of the transmission disk 31, a gun head 33 is installed in the middle of the bottom end of the U-shaped fitting bracket 32, the gun head 33 surrounds the second conical sleeve 34 arranged on the side of the transmission disk 31, and a conical bracket 35 is provided in the middle of the bottom end of the second conical sleeve 34.

[0046] The driving disc 31 and the second conical sleeve 34 are adapted to be angle-changed, and the conical bracket 35 is adapted to better achieve the corresponding angle change.

[0047] In this embodiment: an elastic sleeve 36 is provided in the middle of the bottom end of the first conical sleeve 21, and a third sleeve 37 is installed in the middle of the bottom end of the elastic sleeve 36. The outer wall surface of the third sleeve 37 is provided with an annular patch 38, and a conical covering sleeve 39 is installed in the middle of the bottom end of the annular patch 38. An arc spring 391 is installed in the middle of the bottom end of the conical covering sleeve 39, and a conical sleeve 392 is installed at the bottom end of the arc spring 391 and the middle of the bottom end of the conical covering sleeve 39.

[0048] The arc spring 391 and the specific conical sleeve 392 are matched to conveniently surround the four sides of the transmission plate 31 to achieve the binding of the gun head 33.

[0049] In this embodiment: a traction mechanism 4 is installed in the middle of the top of the conical sleeve 392, and the traction mechanism 4 includes a fourth sleeve 41 installed at the end position of the elastic sleeve 36, an access sleeve 42 is installed on the top side of the fourth sleeve 41, a connecting rod 43 is installed on the top of the access sleeve 42, and an electric telescopic rod 44 is installed on the top of the rod body of the connecting rod 43.

[0050] The connecting rod 43 and the electric telescopic rod 44 are used to easily trigger the opening and closing binding tightness below the conical covering sleeve 39 that can be freely opened.

[0051] In this embodiment, an elastic bracket 45 is installed at the bottom end of the conical sleeve 392 , an expansion and contraction sleeve 46 is installed at the bottom opening of the conical covering sleeve 39 , and the bottom end of the expansion and contraction sleeve 46 is bound to the conical sleeve 392 .

[0052] The purpose of the tapered sleeve 392 is to bundle and fix the independent gun heads 33.

[0053] When used specifically, step 1: transfer is achieved according to one end of the push piece 14;

[0054] A person holds the outer wall of the dipping tube 11 and adjusts the position of the push piece 14 (the conical sleeve 392 is intact at this moment), then presses the elastic dipping sleeve 17 to ensure that the end is extended and retracted, and then extends and moves downward. After moving downward, the end close to the conical sleeve 392 is close to the test tube port to transfer the liquid;

[0055] At this moment, the internal space of the conical sleeve 392 completes the suction and enters the position of the first conical sleeve 21 after suction;

[0056] At this time, the user utilizes the sleeve connection scheme of the conical covering sleeve 39, and the adsorption stage is transferred by utilizing the covering state of the conical covering sleeve 39;

[0057] Step 2: Replace the used cone sleeve 392

[0058] At this time, the user covers the conical sleeve 392 according to the sleeve connection scheme of the conical covering sleeve 39. At this time, the user needs to loosen the bound conical sleeve 392. The loosening operation is to use the power of the electric telescopic rod 44 to pull the connecting rod 43 back and forth. According to the position of the cylinder of the access sleeve 42, the elastic force stage of the multiple elastic brackets 45 now realizes elastic buffering. The elastic buffering stage ensures that the sleeve connection means of the multiple conical covering sleeves 39 control the contraction and tensioning direction of the conical covering sleeve 39. Finally, the position of the corresponding conical sleeve 392 is loosened. Then, as long as the user pulls the second connecting rod 29 downward, according to the elastic buffering of the covering sleeve 292;

[0059] Step 3: To assemble the gun head 33, the operator simply twists the covering sleeve 292 to rotate the funnel transmission base 291. This rotates the position of the transmission plate 31, and simultaneously controls the position of the U-shaped fitting bracket 32. Finally, the arc spring 391 is tightened based on its elastic characteristics. After tightening, it is transferred to the position of the conical sleeve 392.

[0060] By rotating one end of the covering sleeve 292, the position of the transmission disc 31 is adjusted to achieve rotation;

[0061] Finally, the transfer is achieved by using one end of the corresponding gun head 33, and finally, the mobile binding is achieved according to one end of the third sleeve 37 facing the sleeve end of the conical covering sleeve 39. After the binding is completed, the dispatch is achieved according to one end of the conical sleeve 392. Finally, the personnel only need to put the gun head 33 back in the same way as pushing a capsule to complete the automatic replacement.

[0062] Then the old one is automatically loosened because of the conical covering sleeve 39 bottom, and finally blanked.

[0063] The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to professional and technical personnel in this field. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or to replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents.
