Specifically, the connecting rod 22 is arranged through the wall plates and can only move along the first direction, and when the connecting rod 22 moves along the first direction, the connecting end of the rocker 21 and the connecting rod 22 will also move along the first direction, since the length of the rocker 21 is unchanged and cannot be compressed, and the carrier 200 connected with the rocker 21 also cannot move along the first direction, so that the other end of the rocker 21 will be lifted upward or lowered along with the movement of the connecting rod 22.
[0036] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the driving assembly 3 comprises a driving motor 31 and a rotating plate 32, the rotating plate 32 is arranged on the output shaft of the driving motor 31, and the driving motor 31 can drive the rotating plate 32 to rotate; the end of the connecting rod 22 is fixedly provided with a slot plate 23, the slot plate 23 is provided with a through slot 231 extending perpendicularly to the first direction, the rotating plate 32 is provided with an insertion shaft 321, the insertion shaft 321 is arranged vertically offset to the output shaft of the driving motor 31, the insertion shaft 321 is arranged in the through slot 231 and abuts against the side wall of the through slot 231, and the rotating plate 32 can drive the insertion shaft 321 to rotate around the axis of the output shaft of the driving motor 31, so as to drive the slot plate 23 to move along the first direction.

Specifically, when the driving motor 31 drives the rotating plate 32, the rotating plate 32 can rotate in one direction of clockwise or counterclockwise all the time, or rotate 180° along the clockwise / counterclockwise direction and then rotate 180° along the counterclockwise / clockwise direction, and the above two modes can both realize the reciprocating motion of the connecting rod 22 along the first direction, which is not limited herein.
[0037] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 2 the rotating plate 32 is provided with a hole slot 322, the insertion shaft 321 comprises a rod portion and a head portion connected with each other, the inner diameter of the hole slot 322 is smaller than the outer diameter of the head portion and larger than the outer diameter of the rod portion, the rod portion sequentially passes through the hole slot 322 and the through slot 231, and the head portion abuts against the rotating plate 32 vertically.

In the embodiment, the plurality of holes 322 are arranged on the rotating plate 32, and the distance between each of the holes 322 and the axis of the output shaft of the driving motor 31 is different. Therefore, when the shaft 321 is inserted into different holes 322, the radius of the circular motion of the shaft 321 is different, and the distance of the movement of the slot plate 23 along the first direction is also different, so as to adjust the range of the rotation angle of the carrier 200, and the maximum angle of the inclination of the substrate 100 on the carrier 200 can be adjusted according to the actual situation.
[0039] Further, as shown, Figure 1 The liquid medicine recovery device further comprises a plurality of blocks 5, and the plurality of blocks 5 are arranged on the roller shaft of the carrier 200 along the first direction.
