Specifically, the concentration of the active ingredient is controlled. When the adaptor 122 retracts into the receiving cavity, the limiting component 112 applies force to the abutting surface 1220 through the button 112a so as to clamp the adaptor 122 and prevent the adaptor 122 from extending out, thereby forming self-locking. When the adaptor 122 protrudes from the receiving cavity, the button 122a is forced to escape from the path along which the adaptor 122 moves by applying force to the button 122 a.
