## Abstract

A packaging box with test strips is provided for a gripper to grip the test strips, and the gripper has a gripping section and a conductive terminal in the gripping section, and the packaging box includes a main body and a test strip. The main body has an embedded groove including a port with a shape corresponding to the shape of the gripping section, and the port is provided for inserting the gripping section. The test strip has a conductive area defined on a surface of the test strip, and the test strip is contained in the embedded groove, wherein the gripping section is coupled to the port, and the conductive terminal is electrically coupled to the conductive area. With the packaging box, the test strips can be taken out conveniently and quickly.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A packaging box and gripper assembly, comprising:
a gripper, having a gripping section, and the gripping section having a conductive terminal installed therein;
a packaging box, comprising:
a main body, having at least one embedded groove formed thereon, and the embedded groove include a port with a shape corresponding to a shape of the gripping section and a notch extended from the port, and the port being provided for plugging the gripping section; and
at least one test strip, having a conductive area defined on a surface of the test strip, and the test strip being contained in the notch, and the conductive area being exposed inside the port;
a thin film disposed corresponding to the port, and coated and sealed onto the main body; and
a tearing structure, including at least one frame corresponding to the port and disposed on the thin film, and the frame having an opening formed thereon and a shape corresponding to a shape of the port,
wherein, the gripping section is plugged into the port, and the conductive terminal is electrically coupled to the conductive area.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The packaging box and gripper assembly according to claim 1, wherein at least one protruding pillar is protruded from an end of the frame proximate to the thin film, and the main body has at least one concave hole formed at an end proximate to the thin film, and the protruding pillar is passed into the concave hole.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The packaging box and gripper assembly according to claim 1, wherein the tearing structure further comprises at least one piercing element coupled to an inner wall of the opening, and at least one piercing member formed and extended in a direction towards a center of the opening for piercing through the thin film.
