The liquid is quantitatively delivered to the droplet feeder 4 through the droplet feeder 3, and is dropped out through the capillary end of the droplet feeder 4, thereby completing the feeding of the liquid.
The two sets of vibrators 5 are respectively arranged on the outer side of the liquid drop feeder 4 according to the up-down direction and are in contact with the outer side of the liquid drop feeder 4, vibration generated by the reciprocating action of the lower vibrators 5 is transmitted to the liquid drop feeder 4, the vibrator 5 above also corrects the moving distance of the end part of the liquid drop feeder through reciprocating movement, and the dropping work of micro liquid drops is completed under the combined action of the two vibrators 5, so that the design ensures the dropping stability of the liquid drops.
