Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid dispensing machine technology, and more specifically, to a multi-channel liquid dispensing machine. Background Technology
[0002] In laboratory experiments, multiple sets of experiments are typically required to achieve the same result. This allows for comparison of the results from each set to arrive at the final conclusion. This process also prevents deviations in one set of experiments from affecting the final conclusion. Therefore, during experiments, the same amount of reagent is sequentially injected into multiple test tubes or other experimental vessels, allowing the reagent to react in each vessel and yielding separate experimental results. A multi-channel dispensing device is needed for this process, as it can simultaneously dispense liquid from multiple channels, significantly improving work efficiency and the accuracy of experimental or production processes.
[0003] A multi-channel liquid dispensing device is disclosed in a Chinese patent with publication number CN219072990U. Claim 1 states that it includes a push-pull assembly (6), a hoop (7), a moving block (8), an adjusting groove (9), a fastening knob (10), and a bolt hole (11). The push-pull assembly (6) is installed in the middle of the crossbeam (2). The top of the single-channel pipette (4) is fixed with a hoop (7). The moving block (8) is fixed in the middle of one side of the hoop (7). The fastening knob (10) is screwed onto one end of the moving block (8).
[0004] Although the above structure can adjust the distance between the single-channel pipettes, it cannot guarantee that the container at the bottom can be aligned with the single-channel pipette, which can easily lead to spillage when adding liquid, thus wasting some resources.
[0005] Furthermore, when adding liquid to a single-channel pipette, the single-channel pipette needs to be disassembled one by one, which is not only laborious to operate, but also time-consuming during disassembly and installation, thus reducing the overall liquid adding efficiency of the dispensing machine.

[0033] More specifically, the user can adjust the distance between the multiple moving blocks 8 and the liquid filling cylinder 10 by rotating the adjusting nut 12.
