[0020] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiment is only one embodiment of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used in this application should have the same meaning as commonly understood by persons having ordinary skills in the field to which this application belongs.

[0022] This embodiment first provides a biological sample cryopreservation tube cover opening tool 10. Figure 1 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a decapping screwdriver bit according to some embodiments of the present application; Figure 2 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the main body of a decapping screwdriver bit according to some embodiments of the present application; Figure 3 This is a schematic structural diagram of the open-cap bit with the main body hidden according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0023] The biological sample freezing tube includes a tube body and a cover body, wherein the tube body defines a receiving cavity with an opening, the cover body is threadedly connected to the tube body, the cover body is used to open and close the opening, and a rib is provided on the top of the cover body.

[0024] The decapping screwdriver bit 10 includes a main body 100 and a connecting member 200. The main body 100 is used to connect to a driving device so as to rotate under the drive of the driving device. The connecting member 200 and the main body 100 are fixed in relative circumferential position by a fixing member 300, so that the rotation of the main body 100 drives the rotation of the connecting member 200. An elastic member 400 is connected between the connecting member 200 and the main body 100. The connecting member 200 is provided with a rotating rib 210. The elastic member 400 allows the lower end of the rotating rib 210 to move upward when it is abutted by the upper end of the rib.

[0025] The biological sample cryopreservation tube opening tool 10 provided in this embodiment can be used to automatically open the cryopreservation tube cover, thereby improving efficiency and enhancing the user experience. In addition, the provision of the elastic member 400 can reduce the risk of damage to the rib. When opening the cover, the opening tool 10 of this embodiment needs to make the side of the rib contact the side of the rotating rib 210. As the rotating rib 210 rotates, the rib is driven, thereby rotating the cover. When the opening tool 10 is engaged with the cover, the lower end of the rotating rib 210 may clash with the upper end of the rib, resulting in the risk of damage to the rib. In the opener bit 10 of this embodiment, even if the lower end of the rotating rib 210 conflicts with the upper end of the convex rib, the rotating rib 210 can move upward to avoid damaging the convex rib. As the opener bit 10 rotates, the rotating rib 210 and the convex rib will be staggered, and the rotating rib 210 will move downward due to the action of the elastic member 400. As the opener bit 10 rotates, the side of the convex rib contacts the side of the rotating rib 210, thereby driving the cover body to rotate.

[0026] In some embodiments, the main body 100 defines a receiving cavity with an opening at the lower end, and the connecting member 200 includes a connecting shaft 220 disposed in the receiving cavity, and the lower end of the connecting shaft 220 can extend out of the lower end opening. It is understood that the connecting shaft 220 can have a first state extending out of the lower end opening and a second state not extending out of the lower end opening. When the decapping bit 10 is not subjected to an external force, it can be in the first state, and when the rotating rib 210 is abutted by the convex rib, it can be in the second state.

[0027] In some embodiments, the elastic member 400 is disposed in the accommodating cavity, and the upper end of the elastic member 400 is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity, and the lower end of the elastic member 400 is connected to the upper end of the connecting shaft 220. Specifically, the elastic member 400 may include a spring, rubber, etc.

[0028] In some embodiments, the rotating rib 210 is provided on the side wall of the connecting shaft 220. Thus, the portion of the connecting shaft 220 below the rotating rib 210 can play a guiding role when the opener bit 10 is engaged with the cover body.

[0029] In some embodiments, a slide groove 120 is provided at a position of the main body 100 corresponding to the rotation rib 210. The rotation rib 210 is slidably provided in the slide groove 120. The bottom of the slide groove 120 has a notch to allow the rotation rib 210 to enter and exit the slide groove 120. The provision of the slide groove 120 can guide the sliding direction.

[0030] In some embodiments, the fixing member 300 includes at least one protrusion 310 provided on the side wall of the connecting shaft 220. The protrusion 310 is located above the rotating rib 210. A guide groove 130 is defined at a position on the main body 100 corresponding to the protrusion 310. The protrusion 310 is slidably disposed in the guide groove 130. The provision of the protrusion 310 and the guide groove 130 can ensure the fixing effect between the main body 100 and the connecting member 200, and can limit the relative position of the connecting member 200 and the main body 100 in the circumferential direction. In addition, the guide groove 130 can serve as a guide.

[0031] In some embodiments, the at least one protrusion 310 includes a first protrusion 310 and a second protrusion 310 that are oppositely disposed. In this way, the fixing and guiding effects can be ensured.

[0032] In some embodiments, the cover body includes a plurality of convex ribs evenly spaced, and the connector 200 is provided with a plurality of rotating ribs 210 evenly spaced. This ensures efficient opening of the cover and uniform force distribution.

[0033] In some embodiments, the bottom of the rotating rib 210 is provided with a chamfer, which can play a guiding role in the process of the opener bit 10 and the cover body being matched.

[0034] This embodiment also provides a cover opener for a biological sample cryopreservation tube, wherein the biological sample cryopreservation tube includes a tube body and a cover body, wherein the tube body defines a receiving cavity having an opening, the cover body is threadedly connected to the tube body, the cover body is used to open and close the opening, and a rib is provided on the top of the cover body. The cover opener includes any of the above-mentioned cover opening bits 10 and a drive device. The drive device is connected to the main body 100 of the cover opening bit 10, thereby driving the main body 100 to rotate. The manner in which the main body 100 cooperates with the drive device is well known to those skilled in the art (for example, the main body 100 may be provided with a D-shaped hole, and the output shaft of the drive device may also be a D-shaped shaft), and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] The biological sample cryopreservation tube cover opener provided in this embodiment can be used to automatically open the cryopreservation tube cover, thereby improving efficiency and enhancing the user experience.

[0036] 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.

[0037] 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.
