The magnetic suction disc 220 and the square protrusion are used for quick plug-in installation and adsorption installation of the turntable 210, which is a quick disassembly and assembly structure.

[0042] The turntable 210 is an injection molded part made of hard plastic, which has the advantages of light weight, waterproof and corrosion resistance. The turntable 210 has a concave annular storage groove 211, which is composed of two annular side walls and a bottom plate. The storage groove is used to place the test tube 500, and it is also convenient to clean after storing liquid in the storage groove. The central position of the turntable 210 is an installation part, which is located at the center position of the annular storage groove 211. The installation part is provided with a magnetic suction structure. Specifically, square grooves are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the installation part.

In the present technology, the precision syringe pump 380 is used to realize automatic liquid addition of the medicine.

[0051] The rocker-type liquid preparation head assembly 300 in the embodiment is two groups, and the nozzles 360 in the two groups of the rocker-type liquid preparation head assembly 300 titrate the liquid preparation test tube 500 in a cross manner. The two rocker-type liquid preparation head assemblies 300 are arranged in an inclined manner, specifically, the two rocker-type liquid preparation head assemblies 300 are arranged at a certain angle. In the embodiment, the two groups of the rocker-type liquid preparation head assembly 300 correspond to one medicine bottle 390 respectively, so that the proportioning of two kinds of medicines is realized.

[0052] The control circuit board preferably uses a single-chip microcomputer, cooperates with the touch screen to operate, realizes one-key control, and displays the liquid adding and titration states in real time.

[0053] Under the driving of the direct current stepper motor 320, the rocker 350 drives the rocker arm 330 to swing within a set angle. The nozzle 360 has two stroke positions in the swinging process, which are marked as a liquid preparation position and a cleaning position. The liquid preparation position is the position for titrating medicine, and the cleaning position is used for cleaning the hose and the nozzle 360.
