The spherical hole (405) on the tray (404) supports the bottom of the test tube, so that the test tube is stably placed in the pull box (401). After the test tube is placed, the pull box (401) is pushed by the handle (409), so that the pull box (401) slides in the slide (5) inside the box body (1) until the pull box (401) is pushed into the box body (1). In the storage slot (2) inside, during the process of the box body (1) pressing the card block (903), the inclined card block (903) moves down. When the pull box (401) no longer moves, the spring force of the spring (904) supports the slide plate (902), so that the slide plate drives the card block (903) to be inserted into the card slot (10) inside the box body (1), thereby achieving the purpose of locking the pull box (401). Similarly, by operating the remaining pull boxes (401) outside the box body (1), all pull boxes (401) slide into the storage slot (2) and are locked, so that different types of test tubes can be stored independently. When removing the pull box (401) from the box body (1), pull the handle (905) to move the lever (901) downwards, causing the lever (901) to move the slide plate (902). The slide plate (902) then moves the locking block (903) downwards and disengages from the slot (10), thus releasing the lock between the pull box (401) and the box body (1). Then, pull the handle (905) outwards to remove the pull box (401) from the storage slot (2). The test tubes inside the pull box (401) are exposed to the outside, so that the test tubes can be taken out and put in. Moreover, during the movement of the pull box (401), the distance of the pull box (401) moving out of the storage slot (2) is adjusted according to the number of test tubes to be taken out and put in, so that the test tubes that do not need to be taken out and put in remain inside the box (1) and are protected by the storage slot (2). Similarly, the position of other pull boxes (401) is adjusted, so that the pull boxes (401) containing different types of test tubes can be taken out and put in or tested. When the entire box (1) needs to be opened for handling or testing, hold the handle (122) to rotate the screw (121). The screw (121) can move upward during the rotation within the nut (123) and hexagonal nut (15), allowing the screw (121) to disengage from the hexagonal nut (15), thus releasing the locking state between the top cover (3) and the box (1). Then, lift the top cover (3) with the handle (122) to separate it from the opening (11) on the box (1), allowing all the pull boxes (401) inside the box (1) to be opened. The test tubes are exposed to the outside, and then the test tubes inside the box (1) are taken out and tested in batches. When the opening (11) on the box (1) is sealed, the rectangular block (124) at the bottom of the top cover (3) is inserted into the rectangular groove (14) on the card seat (13) so that the top cover (3) will not freely deflect on the box (1). By rotating the handle (122), it drives the screw (121) to rotate. The screw (121) moves down and is threaded into the hexagonal nut (15), thus completing the assembly of the box (1) and the top cover (3).
