Each of the width-adjustable fixing frame 10 and the height-adjustable fixing frame 11 has a vent pipe 5 fixedly installed at one end of the storage box body 1. The width-adjustable fixing frame 10 has multiple movable grooves 14 movably arranged inside. Each movable groove 14 has a spring 15 fixedly installed on its opposite side. A limit rod 16 is fixedly installed on the surface of each movable groove 14. A fixing sleeve 18 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the width-adjustable fixing frame 10 corresponding to the limit rod 16. The surface of the fixed sleeve 18 is threaded with a fastening threaded bolt 17. The limiting rod 16 is movably connected to the fixed sleeve 18, and the fastening threaded bolt 17 passes through the surface of the fixed sleeve 18 threaded with the limiting rod 16. When the dyeing slice is placed inside the width adjustment fixing frame 10 inside the movable groove 14, the operator can push the limiting rod 16 to the appropriate position according to the condition of the dyeing slice. Then, the fastening threaded bolt 17 set in the fixed sleeve 18 is screwed and rotated to fix the component. The movable groove 14 clamps the slice under the action of the spring 15. The limiting rod 16 and the fixed sleeve 18 cooperate to limit the movement trajectory. The fastening threaded bolt 17 locks the slice width, which is convenient for placing slices of different widths. At the same time, the vent pipe 5 ensures internal ventilation.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-4 The height-adjustable fixing frame 11 has multiple movable plates 21, multiple movable plates 22, and multiple soft pads 23 inside. Each movable plate 21, soft pad 23, and movable plate 22 form a group.

An electric push rod 19 is fixedly installed on the surface of the outermost slider 20. The soft pad 23 is located between the movable plates 21 and 22. When the stained slide is placed inside the height-adjustable fixing frame 11 and placed on the surface of the soft pad 23 between the movable plates 21 and 22, the electric push rod 19 is activated to push the slider 20, thereby adjusting the distance between the movable plates 21 and 22. This allows slides of different heights to be placed stably, while the soft pad 23 provides cushioning and protection to prevent the slides from being damaged by pressure, thus enhancing the fixing effect.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-5An installation bracket 24 is fixedly installed inside the ventilation tube 5. A fan 25 is fixedly installed on one side of the installation bracket 24. A movable baffle 26 is movably installed on one side of the outer end of the ventilation tube 5. A lifting block 13 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the movable baffle 26. An activated carbon plate 27 is installed between the movable baffle 26 and the fan 25. Turning on the fan 25 accelerates the internal air circulation, preventing residual moisture after staining from breeding bacteria. At the same time, the activated carbon plate 27 absorbs the odor and harmful gases of the staining agent, keeping the internal environment clean. The staff can control the opening and closing of the ventilation tube by pulling the lifting block 13 to make the movable baffle 26 open.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-2 The top side of the storage box body 1 is movably connected to the box lid 2 via a hinge 12.
