[0028] When the utility model is in use:

[0029] A plastic thin rod 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transparent plate 3. The plastic thin rod 5 is long as a whole and is used to be inserted into the throat. A sampling cotton ball 7 is fixedly sleeved at the outer bottom of the plastic thin rod 5 inserted into the throat. The plastic thin rod 5 is operated to move by the transparent plate 3, so that the plastic thin rod 5 drives the sampling cotton ball 7 to move and contact the throat wall. The sampling cotton ball 7 absorbs body fluids with monkeypox virus to complete the monkeypox virus sampling work. After the plastic thin rod 5 and the sampling cotton ball 7 are inserted into the inside of the plastic tube 1, the internal threaded tube 4 fixedly sleeved by the transparent plate 3 is rotated and sleeved to the external threaded tube 2 to complete the internal threaded tube 4 and the external threaded tube 2 are threadedly fixed together. The transparent plate 3 and the plastic tube 1 can be fixedly installed. At the same time, the threaded installation method has good sealing performance, so that the sampling cotton ball 7 is stored inside the sealed environment.

[0030] The top of the plastic tube 1 is fixedly connected with an externally threaded tube 2, and a limiting ring 10 is arranged at the bottom of the externally threaded tube 2 and at the top of the sealing film 8, so that the deformable plastic tube 1 is supported by a hard structure only at the top and the middle. The sealing film 8 is fixedly connected inside the plastic tube 1, and the sealing film 8 separates the inside of the plastic tube 1 to form a solution storage chamber 9, and the solution storage chamber 9 stores a preservation solution, which is used to prolong the virus retention time.

[0031] The outer bottom of the plastic tube 1 can be pinched hard to deform the plastic tube 1. At this time, the hydraulic pressure of the preservation solution stored in the solution storage chamber 9 increases, breaking the sealing film 8 and immersing the sampling cotton ball 7, thereby extending the retention time of the monkeypox virus in the sampling cotton ball 7, delaying the inactivation rate of the monkeypox virus, and ensuring the sampling effect.

[0032] Arc-shaped inner grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the limiting ring 10. The arc-shaped inner grooves 11 reduce the fixing area between the limiting ring 10 and the plastic pipe 1, and reduce the force required for deformation of the bottom position of the plastic pipe 1. The staff can easily deform the bottom of the plastic pipe 1 by pinching it, reducing physical effort.

[0033] A storage bracket 13 is set at the bottom of the plastic tube 1, and a plurality of placement grooves 14 are opened on the top of the storage bracket 13. The bottom of the deformed plastic tube 1 is inserted into the placement groove 14. Under the action of the placement groove 14, the deformed position of the bottom of the plastic tube 1 is molded into a regular shape, which is convenient for the later use and storage of the plastic tube 1.

[0034] There are arc-shaped insert plates 15 on both sides of the top of the placement groove 14. After the bottom of the plastic tube 1 passes through the placement groove 14, the arc-shaped insert plates 15 will be inserted into the arc-shaped slot 12 of the same shape, and the limiting ring 10 will be limited, so that the top of the plastic tube 1 can be limited, ensuring that the storage bracket 13 supports the stability of the plastic tube 1 and avoiding the situation where the plastic tube 1 tilts and affects the storage capacity of the storage bracket 13.

[0035] At the same time, the arc-shaped insert plate 15 is composed of a mounting plate 17 and a friction layer 16. The arc-shaped mounting plate 17 and the friction layer 16 ensure that the arc-shaped insert plate 15 passes through the arc-shaped slot 12, and the friction layer 16 increases the friction force on the limit ring 10, which can prevent the plastic pipe 1 from automatically separating from the storage bracket 13.

[0036] A disposable specimen preservation tube is composed of a lid composed of a transparent plate 3 and an internally threaded tube 4, a limiting ring 10, and a plastic tube 1. The tube has a simple structure and low cost. The plastic tube 1, the externally threaded tube 2, the transparent plate 3, the internally threaded tube 4, the plastic thin rod 5, the sealing film 8, the limiting ring 10, etc. are all made of degradable materials and can be thrown away after use, which is more environmentally friendly.
