[0027] For part settings, see Figure 1-3 .

[0028] For the specimen rack and the supporting shell in the shell 101, the decomposition method can be set to be a lifting type and a side-pull type. Among them, the lifting type is specifically that the specimen rack is separated along the vertical direction of the supporting shell, and the top of the supporting shell has an opening, which is adapted to the panel size of the specimen rack; the side-pull type is specifically that the specimen rack is separated along the horizontal direction of the supporting shell, and the top and side of the supporting shell have openings. The setting of the above decomposition method is changed according to the application scenario. Inside the shell 101, in addition to the space needed to accommodate the specimen rack, the other remaining cavity space can be used to allocate storage space for utensils for retaining specimens or other related items.

[0029] In particular, see Figure 2A lifting device 1012 is provided at the bottom of the test tube slot 1011, and the lifting device 1012 includes a driving part and a stretching part; wherein the fixed end of the driving part is connected to the fixed part of the shell, the output end is connected to the stretching part, and the stretching part is adapted to the bottom of the test tube slot; the driving part is connected to the controller and the power module.
