1. A mixing device, comprising:
a first clamping assembly, including a first fixing assembly configured to fix a first tubular cavity of a first container, which is for containing a first liquid;
a second clamping assembly, including a second fixing assembly configured to fix a second tubular cavity of a second container, which is used for containing a second liquid, wherein upon fixing the first container with the first clamping assembly and fixing the second container with the second clamping assembly, the first container and the second container are in an angled arrangement and in communication with each other; and
a driving assembly, including:
a first driving element to connect to a first piston of the first container, wherein the first piston locates in the first tubular cavity and has an interference fit with the first tubular cavity, and
a second driving element, capable of operating independently from the first driving element, to connect to a second piston of the second container, wherein the second piston locates in the second tubular cavity and has an interference fit with the second tubular cavity;
wherein, during operation, the driving assembly drives the first piston to reciprocate in the first tubular cavity and drives the second piston to reciprocate in the second tubular cavity, so as to drive the first liquid and the second liquid to flow back and forth between the first container and the second container to complete a predetermined degree of mixing, thereby forming a third liquid.
