[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiment is one embodiment of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by persons having ordinary skills in the field to which this application belongs.

[0021] This embodiment provides a tube cover 200 for a biological sample cryopreservation tube 10. Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a tube cover 200 of a biological sample cryopreservation tube 10 according to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a biological sample cryopreservation tube 10 according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0022] The biological sample cryopreservation tube 10 comprises a tube body 100, wherein the tube body 100 defines a receiving cavity for receiving the biological sample, wherein the receiving cavity has an opening, and the tube cover 200 is threadedly connected to the tube body 100, and the tube cover 200 is used to open and close the opening. The tube cover 200 comprises a cover body 210, wherein the top surface of the cover body 210 is provided with an annular protrusion 220 extending upward, wherein the annular protrusion 220 defines a first cover groove 221, wherein the annular protrusion 220 is provided with at least one first rib 230 on one side facing the first cover groove 221, wherein the first rib 230 is used to cooperate with a screwdriver to realize the rotation of the cover body 210 so as to open and close the opening, and wherein the top surface of the cover body 210 is provided with at least one second rib 240 extending upward, wherein the second rib 240 is provided outside the first cover groove 221, and wherein the second rib 240 is connected to the annular protrusion 220.

[0023] The biological sample cryopreservation tube 10 is a special container for cryopreserving biological samples (such as cells, tissues, DNA, RNA, etc.). The biological sample cryopreservation tube 10 can be placed in a cryopreservation box to store the biological sample. The cryopreservation box is used to be placed in a low-temperature environment such as a refrigerator, a cold storage, a freezer, a liquid nitrogen tank, etc., to store the biological sample.

[0024] The tube cover 200 of the biological sample cryopreservation tube 10 provided in this embodiment facilitates the automatic opening of the biological sample cryopreservation tube 10, is highly efficient, and improves the user experience. In addition, the second rib 240 increases the overall structural strength and can prevent the annular protrusion 220 from being deformed or damaged.

[0025] In some embodiments, the at least one first convex rib 230 includes a plurality of first convex ribs 230 evenly spaced. It can be understood that the screwdriver bit includes a main body and a rotating rib disposed on the main body, the main body is used to be inserted into the first cover groove 221 of the tube cover 200, and the rotating rib is used to conflict with the first convex rib 230 of the tube cover 200. After the main body is inserted into the first cover groove 221, the screwdriver bit needs to be rotated so that the rotating rib conflicts with the first convex rib 230, and then the rotation of the screwdriver bit can drive the cover body 210 to rotate, and this method of multiple first convex ribs 230 allows the rotating rib to conflict with the first convex rib 230 faster, thereby improving the efficiency of opening the cover.

[0026] In some embodiments, the at least one second rib 240 includes a plurality of second ribs 240 that are evenly spaced, thereby further improving the overall structural strength.

[0027] In some embodiments, the radial dimension of the second convex rib 240 is larger than the radial dimension of the first convex rib 230. If the first convex rib 230 arranged in the inner space of the first cover groove 221 is too large, it will increase the difficulty of production and processing, while the pipe cover 200 of this embodiment can reduce the difficulty of processing and help to further improve the overall structural strength.

[0028] In some embodiments, a second cover groove 211 is provided at the bottom of the first cover groove 221, the second cover groove 211 is connected to the first cover groove 221, and the radial dimension of the second cover groove 211 is smaller than the radial dimension of the first cover groove 221. Accordingly, a guide portion may be provided at the bottom end of the main body of the screwdriver bit, and the size of the guide portion corresponds to the size of the second cover groove 211, so as to guide the process of inserting the screwdriver bit into the first cover groove 221.

[0029] In some embodiments, the at least one first rib 230 corresponds to the at least one second rib 240 one by one, and the corresponding first rib 230 and second rib 240 are at the same circumferential position.

[0030] In some embodiments, the second convex rib 240 extends gradually from bottom to top. Thus, the second convex rib 240 can play a guiding role. For example, a plurality of biological sample cryotubes 10 are arranged and placed in a cryobox. When a biological sample cryotube 10 needs to be inserted into the cryobox, the second convex rib 240 of other biological sample cryotubes 10 in the cryobox can play a guiding role, guiding the biological sample cryotube 10 into the corresponding hole (the hole is set on the cryobox to place the biological sample cryotube 10).

[0031] In some embodiments, the cover 210 is connected to the tube 100 via an internal thread. That is, the cover 210 is provided with an internal thread, and the tube 100 is provided with an external thread, thereby ensuring the sealing of the accommodating cavity.

[0032] This embodiment also provides a biological sample cryopreservation tube 10, which includes a tube body 100 and any of the above-mentioned tube covers 200. The tube body 100 defines a receiving cavity for receiving the biological sample, the receiving cavity has an opening, the tube cover 200 is threadedly connected to the tube body 100, and the tube cover 200 is used to open and close the opening.

[0033] This embodiment also provides a cover opener for biological sample cryopreservation tube 10, including a screwdriver and a driving member. The screwdriver includes a main body and a rotating rib disposed on the main body, the main body is used to be inserted into the first cover groove 221 of the tube cover 200, and the rotating rib is used to abut against the first convex rib 230 of the tube cover 200. The driving member is connected to the screwdriver to drive the rotation of the screwdriver, and the rotation of the screwdriver drives the tube cover 200 to rotate through the abutment between the rotating rib and the first convex rib 230.

[0034] Regarding the embodiments of the present application, it should also be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments.

[0035] The above are only specific implementation methods of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. The protection scope of the present application shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
