[0020] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present utility model, it is described in detail through specific embodiments below.

[0021] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides a cell freezing tube with centrifugal function, including a tube body 1, a tube cover 2 and a centrifugal frame ring 3. The tube body 1 is provided with a tube cover 2 at the top, and the middle end of the tube body 1 is integrally formed with a centrifugal frame ring 3. The centrifugal frame ring 3 is used to be engaged on a centrifuge. The tube cover 2 includes a cover body 21, a sealing ring 22 and a sealing assembly 23. The sealing ring 22 is bonded to the bottom end of the cover body 21, and the sealing assembly 23 is provided at the upper end of the cover body 21. The lower side of the cover body 21 is turned with an internal thread, and the upper end of the outer side of the tube body 1 is turned with an external thread, and the cover body 21 is threadedly connected to the tube body 1.

[0022] Among them, a convex ring extending downward is integrally formed at the lower end of the tube body 1, and the bottom end of the convex ring is hollowed out to facilitate the placement of the cell cryopreservation tube.

[0023] A groove is integrally formed on the upper end of the outer side of the tube body 1 , and the sealing ring 22 on the cover body 21 is engaged with the groove, so as to ensure the sealing of the outer side of the tube body 1 .

[0024] See also Figure 4-5 The utility model provides a cell freezing tube with centrifugal function, the sealing component 23 includes a sealing plug 231, a fixing ring 232, a top plate 233, a sealing ring 234 and a protective film 235, the fixing ring 232 is bonded to the middle end of the outer side of the sealing plug 231, the fixing ring 232 is made of rubber, the top of the sealing plug 231 is integrally formed with a top plate 233, the bottom of the sealing plug 231 is bonded with a sealing ring 234, when the tube body 1 and the tube cover 2 are closed, the sealing ring 234 can fit tightly with the inner wall of the tube body 1, further improving the sealing performance of the tube body 1, the protective film 235 is bonded to the middle end of the inner part of the sealing plug 231, and the sealing plug 231 is embedded in the upper end of the inner part of the cover body 21.

[0025] The diameter of the bottom end surface of the top plate 233 is equal to the outer diameter of the cover body 21 , and a circular concave surface is provided in the middle of the top end of the top plate 233 , so that the user can take out the sealing assembly 23 for replacement.

[0026] A groove is formed at the upper end of the cover body 21 , and a fixing ring 232 on the sealing plug 231 is engaged with the groove to ensure a stable installation of the cover body 21 .

[0027] The sealing ring 234 is in a circular ring shape, and the outer diameter of the sealing ring 234 is equal to the inner diameter of the tube body 1 , which is beneficial for the sealing ring 234 to seal the tube body 1 .

[0028] Here’s how it works:

[0029] First, the user rotates the tube cover 2 to separate the tube body 1, and then places the cells inside the tube body 1. The tube cover 2 and the tube body 1 can be sealed by rotation to achieve cell storage. When the cells inside the tube body 1 need to be centrifuged, the tube body 1 can be placed inside a centrifuge through the centrifuge ring 3. The cells inside the tube body 1 can be centrifuged by the centrifuge. Finally, the tube body 1 is placed in a liquid nitrogen tank to achieve frozen storage.

[0030] When the cover body 21 is screwed downwardly into the outside of the tube body 1, the sealing ring 22 will move downward with the cover body and engage with the side groove of the tube body 1 to achieve sealing of the outside of the tube body 1, and the sealing plug 231 will also move downward with the cover body 21, and the sealing ring 234 will fit the inside of the tube body 1 to achieve sealing of the inside of the tube body 1. The double sealing structure can ensure better sealing performance of the tube body 1. When the cell cryopreservation tube is placed in a liquid nitrogen tank or taken out of a liquid nitrogen tank, the gas inside the tube body 1 will expand and contract due to heat and cold. The protective film 235 can effectively prevent the cell cryopreservation tube from bursting by expanding upward or contracting downward. When the protective film 235 ruptures, the user only needs to pull the sealing plug 231 upward to disengage the fixing ring 232 from the groove on the inner side of the cover body 21, so as to achieve removal and replacement of the sealing plug 231.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred example of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
