[0036] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a foldable reagent kit holder includes a housing 1. Several sets of partitions 2 are linearly arranged inside the housing 1. A slot 201 is formed between each pair of adjacent partitions 2. A storage mechanism 3 is provided inside each slot 201. The storage mechanism 3 includes sliders 301 slidably connected to the upper and lower sides inside the slot 201. Connecting plates 302 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the upper and lower sliders 301. A rotating shaft 303 is rotatably connected between the upper and lower connecting plates 302 away from the sliders 301. A storage rack 304 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 303. A handrail 305 is fixedly installed on the front side of the storage rack 304. Two sets of support plates 306 are fixedly connected inside the storage rack 304. Limiting plates 307 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the two sets of support plates 306 and inside the storage rack 304. An installation groove 308 is linearly opened on the outer surface of the limiting plate 307. A test tube 309 is movably connected inside the installation groove 308. The inner diameter of the installation groove 308 is compatible with the outer diameter of the test tube 309.

[0038] In this case, first, the reagent kit holder is moved to the designated position. Then, the door is pulled to the left to fully expose the storage rack 304. Next, the handle 305 is pulled outward, and the handle 305 will pull the storage rack 304 out of the slot 201 via the slider 301. Then, the storage rack 304 is rotated 90 degrees clockwise around the pivot 303 via the handle 305, so that the limiting plate 307 inside the storage rack 304 faces the user. Then, the test tubes 309 can be inserted through the mounting slot. 308 makes the bottom of the test tube 309 contact the top of the support plate 306, so that the test tube 309 can be placed inside the mounting slot 308. After all the test tubes 309 are placed, the storage rack 304 is rotated to the reset state through the pivot 303, and then the storage rack 304 is pushed into the cabinet 1 through the handle 305 to the reset state. Then the cabinet door is pulled to the right again until the cabinet 1 is closed, thereby improving the space utilization efficiency of the storage rack 304 for the test tubes 309.

[0039] Fixing mechanisms 4 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the box 1. Mounting mechanisms 5 are provided at the top of the box 1 and at the relative positions of the fixing mechanisms 4. The fixing mechanism 4 includes a hinge frame 401 fixedly connected to the bottom of the box 1. A fixing rod 402 is provided through the outer surface of the hinge frame 401. A box wheel 403 is provided inside the hinge frame 401. The box wheel 403 is rotatably connected to the outer circumferential surface of the fixing rod 402. Fixing plates 404 are fixedly connected to the left and right end faces of the fixing rod 402. Threaded grooves 405 are provided on the left and right sides of the outer circumferential surface of the fixing rod 402. Nuts 406 that are threadedly connected to the threaded grooves 405 are provided on the left and right sides of the outer circumferential surface of the fixing rod 402. The mounting mechanism 5 includes a cavity frame 501. A limiting groove 502 that is adapted to the fixing rod 402 is provided on the top of the cavity frame 501.

[0040] In this case, when space constraints prevent the placement of multiple boxes 1, the nuts 406 on both sides of the lifted box 1 are first rotated to the outermost end of the fixing rod 402. Then, the box 1 is lifted to the top of the unlifted box 1, so that the fixing rod 402 is inserted into the limiting groove 502 of the unlifted box 1. Then, the nuts 406 on both sides are rotated so that the nuts 406 abut against the outer surface of the cavity frame 501 of the unlifted box 1 and are fixed. In this way, multiple boxes 1 can be effectively stacked, reducing the contact area between the box 1 and the ground and expanding the application scenarios.

[0041] A locking mechanism A6 is provided on the left side of the housing 1, and a locking mechanism B7 that cooperates with the locking mechanism A6 is also provided on the left side of the housing 1. The locking mechanism A6 includes a mounting box 601 fixedly installed on the left side of the housing 1. A telescopic rod 602 and a spring 603 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the mounting box 601. The spring 603 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the telescopic rod 602. A movable inclined block 604 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod 602 and the spring 603 away from the inner wall of the mounting box 601. A moving rod 605 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable inclined block 604 on both the front and rear sides. A through groove 606 is opened on both the front and rear sides of the bottom of the mounting box 601, and the moving rods 605 on both the front and rear sides pass through the through groove 606. The through groove 606 extends to the lower side of the mounting box 601 and is fixedly connected to the pull plate 607. The bottom of the pull plate 607 is fixedly connected to the handle 608. The outer surface of the pull plate 607 away from the moving rod 605 is threaded with threaded rods 609. The bottom of the threaded rods 609 is fixedly connected to the knob 610. The inner walls of the front and rear sides of the mounting box 601 are provided with sliding grooves 611. The locking mechanism B7 includes a fixing block 701 fixedly installed on the right side of the box 1. The front and rear sides of the fixing block 701 are fixedly connected to the sliding strips 702. The bottom of the fixing block 701 is fixedly connected to the connecting post 703. The end of the connecting post 703 away from the fixing block 701 is fixedly connected to the limit block 704.

[0042] When the number of test tubes 309 increases and the stacking of multiple boxes 1 cannot meet the usage requirements, a new box 1 can be lifted, and the lifted fixing block 701 can be inserted into the interior of the unlifted mounting box 601. The fixing block 701 will slide down through the slide groove 611 inside the mounting box 601 via the slide bar 702. The limiting block 704 will press down on the two movable inclined blocks 604, and the movable inclined blocks 604 will press the spring 603 until the limiting block 704 enters below the movable inclined block 604. At this time, the two movable inclined blocks 604 are reset by the spring 603, thereby locking the new box 1 onto the left side of the unlifted mounting box 601. To dismantle the new housing 1, first pull the two side plates 607 outwards using the handle 608. The pull plates 607, through the moving rod 605, cause the movable inclined blocks 604 to move away from each other, and the limiting block 704 disengages from the movable inclined blocks 604. When the threaded rod 609 is moved by the pull plate 607 to the front and rear sides of the mounting box 601, then rotate the knob 610. The threaded rod 609 spirals upwards due to the rotation of the knob 610 until the threaded rod 609 abuts against the outer surfaces of the front and rear sides of the mounting box 601. At this point, you can free your hands to detach the new housing 1 from the top of the housing 1 that has never been lifted, thus completing the quick installation and dismantling of multiple housings 1 in a horizontal state.

[0043] The working principle and usage procedure of this device are as follows: First, move the reagent kit rack to the designated position. Then, pull the door to the left to fully expose the storage rack 304. Next, pull the handle 305 outwards. The handle 305 will pull the storage rack 304 out of the slot 201 via the slider 301. Then, rotate the storage rack 304 90 degrees clockwise around the pivot 303 using the handle 305, so that the limiting plate 307 inside the storage rack 304 faces the user. Then, the test tubes 309 can be placed inside. The test tube 309 is placed inside the mounting slot 308 so that the bottom of the test tube 309 contacts the top of the support plate 306. After all the test tubes 309 are placed, the storage rack 304 is rotated to the reset state through the pivot 303. Then, the storage rack 304 is pushed into the cabinet 1 through the handle 305 to the reset state. The cabinet door is then pulled to the right until the cabinet 1 is closed, thereby improving the space utilization efficiency of the storage rack 304 for the test tubes 309.

[0044] When space constraints prevent the placement of multiple boxes 1, first rotate the nuts 406 on both sides of the box 1 to be lifted to the outermost end of the fixing rod 402. Then lift the box 1 to the top of the box 1 that has not been lifted, so that the fixing rod 402 is inserted into the limiting groove 502 of the box 1 that has not been lifted. Then rotate the nuts 406 on both sides so that the nuts 406 abut against the outer surface of the cavity frame 501 of the box 1 that has not been lifted and fix it. In this way, multiple boxes 1 can be effectively stacked, reducing the contact area between the box 1 and the ground and expanding the application scenarios.

[0045] When the number of test tubes 309 increases and the stacking of multiple boxes 1 cannot meet the usage requirements, a new box 1 can be lifted, and the lifted fixing block 701 can be inserted into the interior of the unlifted mounting box 601. The fixing block 701 will slide down through the slide groove 611 inside the mounting box 601 via the slide bar 702. The limiting block 704 will press down on the two movable inclined blocks 604, and the movable inclined blocks 604 will press the spring 603 until the limiting block 704 enters below the movable inclined block 604. At this time, the two movable inclined blocks 604 are reset by the spring 603, thereby locking the new box 1 onto the left side of the unlifted mounting box 601. To dismantle the new housing 1, first pull the two side plates 607 outwards using the handle 608. The pull plates 607, through the moving rod 605, cause the movable inclined blocks 604 to move away from each other, and the limiting block 704 disengages from the movable inclined blocks 604. When the threaded rod 609 is moved by the pull plate 607 to the front and rear sides of the mounting box 601, then rotate the knob 610. The threaded rod 609 spirals upwards due to the rotation of the knob 610 until the threaded rod 609 abuts against the outer surfaces of the front and rear sides of the mounting box 601. At this point, you can free your hands to detach the new housing 1 from the top of the housing 1 that has never been lifted, thus completing the quick installation and dismantling of multiple housings 1 in a horizontal state.
