[0002] The accurate collection and transportation of urine samples are key links in clinical diagnosis and treatment. Any leakage or contamination of samples may lead to errors in test results, thereby affecting doctors' diagnosis decisions and patients' treatment plans. During transportation, urine leakage caused by pouring or improper closing of the urine collection tube not only causes sample loss, but also may cause laboratory environment pollution, increase the risk of cross infection, and pose a threat to laboratory workers' health. Secondly, urine samples may contain pathogenic microorganisms or other harmful substances, and leakage may pollute the laboratory environment and other samples, affecting the accuracy of other test results. In addition, urine leakage may increase the cleaning and maintenance cost of the laboratory and reduce work efficiency. Therefore, designing a device or method that can effectively prevent urine leakage can not only improve the safety and reliability of sample transportation, but also reduce the pollution risk of the laboratory and improve overall work efficiency.

[0003] To solve the above technical problems, the medical staff needs to tighten the urine collection tube twice to prevent the cap from loosening due to friction between the urine collection tubes during subsequent transportation.

[0034] The batch capping unit 4 includes a second inclined channel 400 located at the lower end of the first inclined channel 300; the second inclined channel 400 includes a capping section 401, a fixed pipe section 402, and a sliding section 403 connecting to the outlet 404; the capping section 401 is provided with a capping execution assembly 420, and the fixed pipe section 402 is provided with a pipe body blocking assembly 410 and a pipe body pressing assembly 430;

[0035] The batch urine collection tube is inserted into the sample application port 2. Under the action of the tilting wheel assembly 310 in the inlet section 301, the urine collection tube is tilted and slides into the batch inclined inlet section 302 and the batch forward section 303. The tube body of the urine collection tube 5 leaks to the bottom of the cap hanging groove 305, and the cap body is suspended above the cap hanging groove 305. Under the action of gravity, the suspended batch urine collection tube slides down and enters the second inclined channel 400, and is blocked by the tube body blocking assembly 410 to the fixed tube section 402. The tube body is positioned by the tube body pressing assembly 430, and then the urine collection tube is tightened a second time by the cap tightening assembly.
