[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the dispensing container is provided with a titration port, which is linked to a touch switch.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When it is necessary to change the capacity of the dispenser, the dispensing capacity can be changed by changing different dispensing containers and dispensing tanks. During dispensing, dispensing can only be performed after the container is accurately positioned; if the container is not accurately positioned, the button cannot be pressed to dispense. When the container is not accurately positioned after insertion, the positioning strip on the container will enter the mounting groove and move below the central pressing column, blocking the central pressing column and preventing it from moving downwards. This, in turn, prevents the central pressing column from pressing down, thus preventing dispensing under misalignment. When the container is in place, the positioning device on the positioning strip corresponds vertically to the position of the control device. Subsequently, the central pressing column can be pressed down, which in turn allows the main pressing column to be pressed down, causing the touch switch to move downwards. At the same time, the connecting block moves downwards, compressing the hydraulic rod, which drives the hydraulic lifting platform to move upwards through the connecting rod, pushing the support ring upwards and squeezing the touch switch from below. This causes the touch switch to activate the dispensing switch to dispense. Attached Figure Description
