[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The tracer mixing and uniform distribution device provided in the utility model embodiment comprises an equidistant spiral distribution pipe 1 and a flow divider 2.
[0023] In the embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The outer pipe opening of the equidistant spiral distribution pipe 1 is fixedly installed with a feed pipe 11, a plurality of threaded dispensing holes 1a spirally distributed along the pipe surface are formed on the pipe surface of the equidistant spiral distribution pipe 1, and each threaded dispensing hole 1a is installed with a detachably connected flow divider 2.

[0026] It should be noted that when the tracer supply is sufficient, the tracer pushes the blocking piston column 31 to slide to the closed end of the shunt cylinder 2 and compresses the spring 32; when the blocking piston column 31 no longer seals the liquid distribution hole 2a, the tracer can be discharged along the liquid distribution hole 2a; when the tracer supply is insufficient, the blocking piston column 31 is reset and seals the liquid distribution hole 2a under the action of the spring 32, which avoids backflow of water on one hand and enables the tracer to be discharged in a jet form from the liquid distribution hole 2a each time, thereby greatly improving the mixing degree with water.
