[0032] Embodiment one:
[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 7The sealing gasket 2 is made of elastic material such as rubber, and comprises a wall body 25 connected at both ends to form a circumferential closed structure. The top of the circumferential closed structure is open, and a recessed accommodating cavity 23 is formed inside. The bottom of the circumferential closed structure is closed, and a slit 24 capable of being opened and closed is arranged on the bottom. The slit 24 is in communication with the accommodating cavity 23. The slit 24 can be opened when extruded by an external object, and automatically closed due to the elasticity of the material when not extruded, thereby cutting off the liquid on both sides of the wall body 25. A boss 22 for tightly closing the slit 24 is arranged on both sides of the slit 24. The boss 22 is connected to the outer wall of the wall body 25. When the boss 22 is in contact with the inner wall by installing the sealing gasket 2 on the bottle opening of a device, the relative extrusion force on both sides of the slit 24 can be further improved by the boss 22 when the slit 24 is closed, thereby further improving the sealing degree. When the slit 24 needs to be opened, the slit 24 can be pried open by inserting a device such as a 4 into the slit 24, so as to realize the communication between the upper and lower sides of the sealing gasket 2. In the embodiment, the top of the wall body 25 is circular, and the bottom of the wall body 25 is inwardly contracted to form the slit 24. The slit 24 is linear when closed, that is, the structure of the wall body 25 is circular at the top and linear at the bottom, and the structure formed between the circle and the line is shaped.
[0034] The inner side of the boss 22 is connected to the outer wall of the wall body 25, and there is a gap between the outer edge of the boss 22 and the fixed layer 21. In addition, the wall body 25, the boss 22 and the fixed layer 21 are integrally formed.
[0035] Embodiment Two:
[0036] Please refer to Figure 8 In the embodiment, a sealing gasket is provided, which comprises an elastic wall body 25 connected at both ends to form a circumferential closed structure. The circumferential closed structure is cylindrical, and a slit 24 capable of being opened and closed is arranged on the bottom. The slit 24 can be opened when extruded by an external object, and automatically closed due to the elasticity of the material when not extruded, thereby cutting off the liquid on both sides of the wall body 25. A group of bosses 22 for tightly closing the slit 24 are arranged on both sides of the slit 24. The bosses 22 are connected to the outer wall of the bottom of the wall body 25. The bosses 22 are triangular in shape, and there is a gap between the outer side of the boss 22 and the outer edge of the wall body 25.
[0037] Embodiment Three:
[0038] Please refer to Figure 9 In the embodiment, other parts are the same as in the embodiment, except that the bosses 22 are provided in two groups. Each group comprises two bosses 22 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the slit. The two groups of bosses 22 are arranged in parallel. The use of two groups of bosses 22 can make the slit 24 bear greater force, and the effect of tightly pressing is better.
[0039] Embodiment Four:
[0040] Please refer to Figures 3-4 , in order to facilitate the use of the sealing gasket 2, the present embodiment proposes a sealing cover 1 applied with the sealing gasket 2; the sealing cover 1 comprises a cover plate part 12 and a connecting part 11 extending downward from the outer wall of the cover plate part 12, a through hole 13 is formed in the middle of the cover plate part 12, and the through hole 13 is in communication with the accommodating cavity 23; the bottom of the cover plate part 12 is connected with the sealing gasket 2, and the fixing layer 21 of the sealing gasket 2 is tightly attached to the bottom of the cover plate part 12.
[0041] In order to more conveniently connect the sealing gasket 2 with the sealing cover 1, the fixing layer 21 of the sealing gasket 2 is connected to the top of the wall body 25 and wraps the wall body 25. The outer wall of the fixing layer 21 of the sealing gasket 2 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the connecting part 11. Compared with the sealing gasket 2 and the sealing cover 1 without fastening treatment, the sealing gasket 2 is clamped on the inner side of the sealing cover 1 through the fixing layer 21. When the sealing cover 1 is disassembled, the sealing gasket 2 can continue to be fixed on the sealing cover 1, which is convenient for the user to install and disassemble.
[0042] Embodiment five:
[0043] Please refer to Figures 5-6 , the present embodiment proposes a centrifugal tube 3 applied with the sealing cover 1, which can be connected with the internal thread of the sealing cover 1. After the centrifugal tube 3 is screwed with the sealing cover 1, the outer wall of the boss 22 can be tightly attached to the inner wall of the centrifugal tube 3, so that when the slit 24 is closed, the boss 22 is further tightly attached by being attached to the inner wall of the centrifugal tube 3, and when the liquid adding pipe 4 is inserted into the slit 24, the slit 24 can be opened by the elasticity of the boss 22. The connection between the centrifugal tube and the sealing cover includes but is not limited to threaded connection, that is, the outer wall of the top of the centrifugal tube 3 is provided with external threads, and the inner wall of the connecting part 11 is provided with internal threads.
[0044] The thickness of the centrifugal tube 3 is the same as the distance from the outer side of the fixing layer 21 of the sealing gasket 2 to the outer edge of the boss 22, so that when the sealing cover 1 is screwed with the centrifugal tube 3, the boss 22 can be in contact with the inner wall of the centrifugal tube 3.
[0045] In use, only the sealing gasket 2 is placed in the sealing cover 1, and then the sealing cover 1 is screwed to the open end of the centrifugal tube 3. After centrifugation, 4 is sequentially inserted through the through hole 13 and the accommodating cavity 23, and then inserted into the centrifugal tube 3 through the slit 24 for liquid adding operation. After liquid adding is completed, 4 is pulled out, and the slit 24 is re-closed to form a sealed space under the action of the elasticity of the boss 22, so that the centrifugal liquid in the centrifugal tube 3 cannot splash out.
[0046] The utility model has been described in combination with the drawings above, but is not limited to the protection scope of the utility model, and various modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the technical scheme of the utility model without creative labor are still within the protection scope of the utility model.
