[0002] Sample tubes for microbial testing are mainly used for the collection and transportation of infectious disease specimens. They mainly consist of sampling swabs, sampling preservation fluid and plastic tubes. Generally, samples are obtained by sampling the patient's nasopharynx, placed in the preservation fluid of the plastic tube for storage and transported to the laboratory for testing.
[0003] During use, existing virus sampling tubes are usually sealed with screw caps, which have poor sealing effects. As a result, the screw caps of the sampling tubes are easily loosened due to vibration and collision during transportation after collection, causing leakage of microbial samples and posing certain safety hazards.

During the screwing process, the upper tooth portion 3 and the lower tooth portion 7 produce relative sliding, which is the same as the use of common sample tubes. After the sealing cover 2 is tightened, the pulling column 8 is pulled to compress the elastic ring 5, so that the moving ring 6 rotates downward and in the opposite direction of the tightening direction, and the pulling column 8 is loosened to make the upper tooth portion 3 and the lower tooth portion 7 engage. The lower tooth portion 7 is acted on by the rebound force of the elastic ring 5, which produces a thrust on the upper tooth portion 3 to prevent the sealing cover 2 from loosening; when the sealing cover 2 needs to be opened, the pulling column 8 is pulled downward, the moving circle 6 moves downward, the lower tooth portion 7 is separated from the upper tooth portion 3, and the sealing cover 2 can be opened by rotating it.

When the sealing cover is sealed, the lower tooth portion is meshed with the upper tooth portion, thereby reducing the problem of loosening of the sealing cover caused by vibration and collision during transportation, resulting in sampling leakage; the elastic ring is a circular ring structure made of elastic material, and the elastic ring is arranged in multiple places. The moving circle is connected to the fixed ring through the elastic ring, and the lever column is in Four settings are fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the moving ring. When the sealing cover needs to be opened, the lever column is pulled downward, the elastic ring is compressed, the moving ring moves downward, the upper tooth portion is separated from the lower tooth portion, and the sealing cover can be opened.
