[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a sampling tube, comprising:

[0030] A tube body 11, on which a label 21 is attached;

[0031] a tube cover 12, wherein the tube cover 12 is sealed and connected to the opening of the tube body 11; and

[0032] A transparent member is fixed to the tube body 11 and covers the label 21 .

[0033] The sampling tube of the technical solution of the utility model comprises a tube body 11 and a tube cover 12 sealed and connected to the opening of the tube body 11, and a label 21 is pasted on the tube body 11, which is used for electronic equipment to identify the label 21 to inject or read relevant information of the corresponding sampling tube. Furthermore, a transparent part is fixed on the tube body 11 and covers the label 21, thereby reducing the wear and tear of the label 21 or soaking in disinfectants such as alcohol, and also reducing the falling off of the label 21 during transportation, thereby reducing the damage of the label 21, so that more sampling tubes can be normally identified, and the recognition rate of the sampling tubes is improved.

[0034] In the present embodiment, the transparent member is a transparent sticker 22, which has a low production cost and can be mass-produced. Of course, in other embodiments, the transparent member may also be a transparent plate. After the label 21 is pasted and fixed on the tube body 11, a portion of the transparent plate is melted toward one side of the tube body 11 or the outer wall of the tube body 11, and then attached to the outer wall of the tube body 11. After cooling, the label 21 can be clamped and fixed between the tube body 11 and the transparent member. It should be noted that the melted portion will avoid the label 21 and will not damage the label 21.

[0035] Specifically, the transparent member and the label 21 are integrally arranged, and the transparent sticker 22 is pasted and fixed on the tube body 11 and covers the label 21; that is, the transparent sticker is integrally arranged on one side wall of the label 21, and then the transparent sticker 22 is flipped over to paste the label 21 to cover between the transparent member and the outer wall surface of the tube body 11. Of course, the transparent member can also be wrapped around the tube body 11 for one week so that the label 21 is pasted between the transparent member and the outer wall surface of the tube body 11; its pasting method is simple and convenient, easy to operate, and easy to mechanize, thereby reducing production costs; at the same time, it also reduces the damage of the label 21, so that more sampling tubes can be normally identified, and the recognition rate of the sampling tube is improved; of course, in other embodiments, the transparent member and the label 21 can also be separately arranged, and after the label 21 is pasted on the outer wall surface of the tube body 11, the transparent member is covered and pasted to the outside of the label 21 to reduce the contact between the label 21 and the outside world, thereby reducing the damage of the label 21.

[0036] Furthermore, in daily use, whether the tube cover 12 is tightened depends entirely on the operator's feel, and there is no specific structure to prompt the operator whether it is tightened. As a result, some samples may leak out the preservation solution because the tube cover 12 is not tightly closed, which is not only easy to cause contamination, but also there is a risk that the virus in the positive sample is not inactivated; therefore, in this embodiment, the tube cover 12 is provided with a marking portion for prompting the operator to lock the tube cover 12.

[0037] Specifically, the marking portion is a marking line 121 or a marking point. When the tube cover 12 is locked at the opening of the tube body 11, the marking line 121 or the marking point is located on the same straight line as one side edge of the label 21. It can be understood that during the production process, the sampling tube will be in a locked state. At this time, the tube cover 12 of the sampling tube will be in a locked state. At this time, a marking line 121 or a marking point can be drawn on the tube cover 12 in the direction of the extension line of one side wall of the label 21. Therefore, by setting the identification line or marking point, the locking rate of the tube cover 12 is improved, thereby guiding the leakage of the sample, reducing damage to the environment or human body, and improving the safety of the sampling tube.

[0038] Of course, in other embodiments, a protrusion and a groove may be provided on the outer wall surface of the tube body 11 and the inner wall surface of the tube cover 12. When the tube cover 12 is rotated to the locking position, the protrusion is stuck in the groove, and a sound is emitted, so that the operator knows that the tube cover 12 is locked, thereby facilitating the operator's operation and improving the locking efficiency of the tube cover 12.

[0039] Furthermore, the label 21 is pasted horizontally on the tube body 11; or the label 21 is pasted vertically on the tube body 11; the label 21 can be pasted horizontally on the tube body 11 according to the size of the label 21 and the sampling tube; it should be noted that the label 21 can be provided with a barcode, a QR code, etc., which can be customized according to actual needs.

[0040] During the actual operation, the sampling personnel usually wear protective gloves with a lot of disinfectant attached to the protective gloves. If the outer wall of the tube cover 12 is relatively smooth, it is difficult for the sampling personnel to tighten the tube cover 12, thereby increasing the difficulty for the sampling personnel. Therefore, in this embodiment, an anti-slip portion is provided on the peripheral side of the tube cover 12 to facilitate locking the tube cover 12 on the tube body 11.

[0041] Specifically, the anti-slip portion is a plurality of anti-slip protrusions arranged at equal intervals. By arranging a plurality of anti-slip protrusions at intervals, the friction between the sampler's fingers and the tube cover 12 is increased, which makes it easier for the sampler to use force with his fingers and tighten the tube cover 12, thereby improving the tightening rate of the tube cover 12, while improving the work efficiency of the sampler and the sampling efficiency.

[0042] Furthermore, even if the tube cover 12 is locked on the tube body 11, the connection may have dimensional errors during the production and manufacturing process, resulting in a large gap between the tube body 11 and the tube cover 12 of some sampling tubes, making it difficult to form a large sealing effect. If the error is to be reduced, the process requirements for production and processing will be increased, thereby increasing the production cost. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sampling tube also includes a sealing member, the tube cover 12 is provided with an internal thread, and the tube body 11 is provided with an external thread. The tube cover 12 is connected to the tube body 11 via the internal thread and the external thread. When the tube cover 12 is locked on the tube body 11, the sealing member is clamped between the tube body 11 and the tube cover 12.

[0043] Specifically, the sealing member is a sealing ring, which is embedded in the tube cover 12; the sealing ring can be made of materials such as rubber silicone, so its material is relatively soft, thereby allowing a certain error between the tube body 11 and the tube cover 12, thereby reducing the production and processing accuracy requirements between the tube body 11 and the tube cover 12, thereby reducing the production and processing costs. At the same time, the price of the sealing ring made of rubber silicone is also relatively low, the production and manufacturing process is mature, and the performance is stable and reliable. Compared with improving the production and processing accuracy between the tube body 11 and the tube cover 12, the cost of setting a sealing ring is lower and the performance is also reliable.

[0044] Furthermore, the tube body 11 has a smooth transition between the tube body and the tube bottom. In the actual sampling process, the sampling personnel will place the sampling tube on the sampling tube rack after the sampling is completed. At this time, the tube body and the tube bottom have a smooth transition, so that the sampling personnel do not need to put the sampling tube accurately into the hole of the sampling tube rack during the placement of the sampling tube. They only need to place the sampling tube roughly at the edge of the hole and then slide it into the corresponding hole through the smooth transition of the tube bottom, thereby improving the work efficiency and sampling efficiency of the sampling personnel.

All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
