Specific Embodiments

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are only one embodiment of the present application, rather than all embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present application shall have the ordinary meanings understood by those of ordinary skill in the art within the field to which the present application pertains.

[0025] This embodiment provides an opening head 20 for a biological sample cryotube 10, Figure 1 which is a schematic structural view of a biological sample cryotube 10 according to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 which is a schematic structural view of the tube cap of a biological sample cryotube 10 according to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 which is a schematic structural view of the opening head 20 according to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 which is a front view of the opening head 20 and the mounting bracket 30 according to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 5 which is a sectional view of the opening head 20 and the mounting bracket 30 according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0026] The biological sample cryotube 10 includes a tube body 100 and a cap body 200. The tube body 100 defines a receiving cavity with an opening. The cap body 200 is threadedly connected to the tube body 100. The cap body 200 is used to open and close the opening. The top surface of the cap body 200 is provided with an upwardly extending annular protrusion 210. The annular protrusion 210 defines a first cap groove. The top surface of the cap body 200 is provided with at least one rib 220 extending upward. The rib 220 is disposed outside the first cap groove and the rib 220 is connected to the annular protrusion 210.

[0027] The opening head 20 includes: a main body 300. The main body 300 is used to be connected to a driving device so as to rotate under the drive of the driving device. The main body 300 is connected with at least one rotating rib 410. The rotating rib 410 is used to abut against the rib 220 to realize the rotation of the cap body 200 so as to open and close the opening.

[0028] In the related art, the above-mentioned cover body 200 already exists. A rib is provided in the first cover groove of the cover body 200. The rotation rib 410 of the bit in the related art cooperates with the rib in the groove to realize the rotation of the cover body 200. The convex rib 220 outside the groove of the cover body 200 only serves to strengthen the structural strength of the cover body 200. However, the inventor found that since the size of the rib in the groove is not convenient to be set larger, it is inconvenient to apply force when the rotation rib 410 cooperates with the rib in the groove, and it is difficult for the opening bit 20 to open the cover. When the rotation rib 410 cooperates with the convex rib 220 outside the first cover groove, it is easy to apply force, and since the size of the convex rib 220 outside the first cover groove can be set larger, the situation where the convex rib 220 is deformed and it is difficult to open the cover can be reduced.

[0029] The opening bit 20 and the opener of the biological sample cryopreservation tube 10 provided in this embodiment can be used to automatically open the cover body 200 of the cryopreservation tube, improving the efficiency and enhancing the user experience.

[0030] In some embodiments, a socket part 400 is sleeved outside the main body 300. The socket part 400 is connected to the main body 300 and is configured to rotate with the main body 300 when the main body 300 rotates. At least one rotation rib 410 is provided at the lower end of the socket part 400. Thereby, the overall processing difficulty can be reduced.

[0031] In some embodiments, the socket part 400 is elastically connected to the main body 300. This elastic connection is used to avoid the situation where the rotation rib 410 hits the convex rib 220 and causes damage to the convex rib 220.

[0032] In some embodiments, the main body 300 includes a main shaft 310 and a first stepped shaft 320 arranged at the lower end of the main shaft 310, and the radial size of the first stepped shaft 320 is larger than that of the main shaft 310; the sleeve 400 defines a sleeve cavity 420, and the sleeve cavity 420 includes a first sub-cavity 421 located at the top and a second sub-cavity 422 located at the bottom, and the radial size of the second sub-cavity 422 is larger than that of the first sub-cavity 421, and the wall surface of the sleeve cavity 420 includes a first wall surface corresponding to the first sub-cavity 421, a second wall surface corresponding to the second sub-cavity 422, and a partition wall 423 located between the first wall surface and the second wall surface; a first elastic member 500 is arranged in the second sub-cavity 422, and the first elastic member 500 elastically connects the partition wall 423 and the upper wall surface of the first stepped shaft 320. When the lower end of the rotating rib 410 abuts against the upper end of the convex rib 220, under the action of the first elastic member 500, the sleeve 400 moves upward to avoid damage to the convex rib 220. As the opener bit 20 rotates, the rotating rib 410 rotates, so that the rotating rib 410 and the convex rib 220 are staggered. Under the action of the first elastic member 500, the sleeve 400 moves downward, and the side of the rotating rib 410 abuts against the side of the convex rib 220, so that the opener bit 20 drives the cover body 200 to rotate.

[0033] In some embodiments, the lower end of the first stepped shaft 320 is connected to a second stepped shaft 330, the second stepped shaft 330 is smaller in radial direction than the first stepped shaft 320, and the second stepped shaft 330 is used to be inserted into the first cover groove. The second stepped shaft 330 can play a guiding role.

[0034] In some embodiments, a second cover groove 212 is formed at the bottom of the first cover groove, and the second cover groove 212 is smaller in radial direction than the first cover groove; a third stepped shaft 340 is connected to the lower end of the second stepped shaft 330, and the third stepped shaft 340 is smaller in radial direction than the second stepped shaft 330, and the third stepped shaft 340 is used to be inserted into the second cover groove 212. The third stepped shaft 340 can play a guiding role.

The spindle 310 is provided with a second elastic member 600, and the second elastic member 600 is located between the mounting frame 30 and the upper end of the sleeve 400. When the lower end of the rotating rib 410 contacts the upper end of the convex rib 220, under the action of the first elastic member 500 and the second elastic member 600, the sleeve 400 moves upward to avoid damage to the convex rib 220. As the cover opening bit 20 rotates, the rotating rib 410 rotates, so that the rotating rib 410 is staggered with the convex rib 220. Under the action of the first elastic member 500 and the second elastic member 600, the sleeve 400 moves downward, and the side of the rotating rib 410 contacts the side of the convex rib 220, so that the cover opening bit 20 drives the cover body 200 to rotate. It can be understood that the first elastic member 500 and the second elastic member 600 can be in a low position when not subject to other external forces, that is, the side surface of the rotating rib 410 can contact the side surface of the convex rib 220 .

[0036] In some embodiments, the sleeve 400 includes a first sleeve section 430 located at the top and a second sleeve section 440 located at the bottom, the second sleeve section 440 is larger in radial direction than the first sleeve section 430, and the lower end of the second sleeve section 440 is provided with the at least one rotating rib 410. The connection between the first sleeve section 430 and the second sleeve section 440 is convenient for setting an external structure to limit the position.

[0037] In some embodiments, the at least one rotating rib 410 includes a first rotating rib 410 and a second rotating rib 410 that are arranged opposite to each other. Thus, the structure is simple and easy to process, and uniform force can be ensured.
