[0002] In the field of medical testing, urine testing is a common method used to diagnose and monitor various diseases. However, existing urine testing procedures have some inconveniences. Typically, patients need to urinate into a urine cup, and then the laboratory personnel transfer the sample from the cup to a test tube for testing. This operation is not only cumbersome but also prone to sample contamination and loss, especially since external impurities may be introduced during the transfer process, affecting the accuracy of the test results. Furthermore, this secondary transfer operation increases the workload and time cost for laboratory personnel. They need to carefully handle each sample to ensure accurate transfer to the test tube, which is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors during sample processing.

[0003] Therefore, conventional testing methods are only suitable for scenarios requiring rapid testing, such as emergency rooms or large-scale screening events. They not only increase the workload of laboratory personnel but also reduce the reliability of test results, failing to meet the demands of modern medical testing for efficiency, accuracy, and convenience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention proposes a convenient test tube, which solves the problem of increased cumbersomeness and easy contamination caused by the process of transferring urine cup samples to the test tube in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A convenient test tube includes a test tube body and a detachable top cover with a sample collector. A flexible film is provided on one side of the top cover, and the flexible film extends downward away from the top cover and is fixed to the outer wall of the test tube body. On the other side of the top cover, a pulling block is provided, which pulls the top cover and drags the flexible film laterally towards the opening of the test tube body to cover the test tube body. The bottom of the pulling block is clamped to the top of the test tube body on the side away from the flexible film.

[0007] Furthermore, the pulling block includes a positioning buckle that is fitted onto one side of the top of the test tube body and a pulling buckle fixed on the top cover and corresponding to the positioning buckle on the same side, wherein the bottom of the pulling buckle contacts the top of the positioning buckle and slides along its top.

[0008] Furthermore, the positioning buckle near the top cover and the pull buckle near the test tube body are both U-shaped, wherein the inner side of the U-shape of the positioning buckle is adapted to and fixed to the outside of the top cover, while the inner side of the U-shape of the pull buckle is adapted to and engaged with the outside of the test tube body.

[0009] Furthermore, the length of the pull buckle is greater than the length of the positioning buckle.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the positioning buckle is provided with sliding grooves on both sides of the U-shape, and the bottom of the pull buckle is provided with a sliding handle that extends into the sliding groove and slides inside it.

[0011] Furthermore, the sample collector includes a flow guide tube extending upward from the inner top wall of the top cover, with a notch on the side of the flow guide tube and a flow guide funnel at the notch.

[0012] Furthermore, the guide bucket is plate-shaped, and its internal recess extends to the notch of the guide tube.

[0013] Furthermore, a protective film for dust prevention is applied to the outside of the flexible film.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided in this application are as follows:

[0015] This user-friendly test tube features a top cap with a sample collector, combined with a flexible membrane and a pull block design. Patients can directly pour urine into the tube, and the flexible membrane seals the tube opening and separates easily by pulling. The unused top cap and sample collector can then be retrieved without the need for a secondary urine cup.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to its embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-2 A convenient test tube includes a test tube body 10 and a detachable top cover 20 with a sample collector 50. A flexible film 30 is provided on one side of the top cover 20, extending downwards and fixed to the outer wall of the test tube body 10 on the side away from the top cover 20. On the other side of the top cover 20, a pulling block 40 is provided, which pulls the top cover 20 and laterally drags the flexible film 30 towards the opening of the test tube body 10 to cover it. The bottom of the pulling block 40 is clamped to the top of the test tube body 10 on the side away from the flexible film 30. Through the dragging action of the pulling block 40, the flexible film 30 is stretched along the test tube body 10 and covers the opening, achieving a rapid seal. The design of the pulling block 40 allows the flexible film 30 to detach from the top cover 20 after stretching and to complete the seal through tension tightening, ensuring sample integrity. The sample collector 50 is designed to allow patients to directly excrete urine, avoiding the cumbersome operation of secondary transfer using a urine cup. The detachable top cover 20 and sample collector 50 are recyclable, further reducing operational steps and contamination risks, and improving the convenience and reliability of sample collection and testing. This design is particularly suitable for emergency rooms or large-scale screening activities, significantly improving testing efficiency while reducing the workload of laboratory personnel.

[0022] Before use, the bottom of the pull block 40 clamps the top of the test tube body 10 away from the flexible film 30, and the traction of the flexible film 30 keeps the top cap 20 in place on the top of the test tube body 10, with the flexible film 30 in an unstretched state, ensuring the stability of the top cap 20 and the sample collector 50. During use, the patient urinates into the sample collector 50, and the sample flows smoothly into the test tube body 10 through the guide function of the sample collector 50. After collection, the patient pulls the pull block 40, which, through lateral dragging, stretches the flexible film 30 along the outer wall of the test tube body 10 until the flexible film 30 is completely detached from the top cap 20. After being stretched to its limit, the flexible film 30 tightens under its own tension and covers the opening of the test tube body 10, achieving a rapid seal. The separated top cap 20 and sample collector 50 can be recycled, further simplifying the operation process, reducing the risk of contamination, and improving detection efficiency.

[0023] In some embodiments, the pulling block 40 includes a positioning buckle 41 that is fitted onto one side of the top of the test tube body 10, and a pulling buckle 42 fixed on the top cover 20 and corresponding to the positioning buckle 41 on the same side. The bottom of the pulling buckle 42 contacts the top of the positioning buckle 41 and slides along its top. The connection between the positioning buckle 41 and the test tube body 10 mainly serves to guide the initial lateral movement of the pulling buckle 42 during the pulling process. In the initial stage of pulling, the pulling buckle 42 contacts the positioning buckle 41 and slides along its top. This separate design ensures that when the pulling buckle 42 drives the top cover 20 and the flexible film 30 to move laterally, it can move smoothly along the trajectory provided by the positioning buckle 41, avoiding deviation or jamming during the pulling process. This ensures that the flexible film 30 can be evenly stressed and stretched smoothly, thereby improving the reliability of the seal and the convenience of operation.

[0024] In some embodiments, the positioning buckle 41 near the top cover 20 and the pulling buckle 42 near the test tube body 10 are both U-shaped. The inner side of the U-shape of the positioning buckle 41 is adapted to and fixed to the outside of the top cover 20, while the inner side of the U-shape of the pulling buckle 42 is adapted to and engaged with the outside of the test tube body 10. The adaptation and fixation of the inner U-shape of the positioning buckle 41 to the outside of the top cover 20 ensures smooth lateral movement of the top cover 20 during the initial pulling stage. The adaptation and engagement of the inner U-shape of the pulling buckle 42 to the outside of the test tube body 10 facilitates the subsequent stretching and sealing of the flexible film 30. This detachable design allows the pulling buckle 42 to separate from the test tube body 10 after the flexible film 30 is stretched and sealed, while the positioning buckle 41 is no longer needed after completing its guiding function and can be easily disassembled.

[0025] In some embodiments, the length of the pull buckle 42 is greater than the length of the positioning buckle 41. The longer design of the pull buckle 42 provides the user with a larger point of leverage for the hand, making it easier to apply force during the pulling process and reducing the difficulty of operation. This design not only improves the comfort of operation but also ensures the smoothness of the pulling action, avoiding pulling difficulties caused by insufficient leverage.

[0026] In some embodiments, the top of the positioning buckle 41 is provided with grooves 43 corresponding to the two sides of the U-shape, and the bottom of the pull buckle 42 is provided with a sliding handle 44 that extends into the grooves 43 and slides inside them. This design of the grooves 43 and the sliding handle 44 not only provides further guidance for the movement of the pull buckle 42 during the pulling process, ensuring the smoothness of the pulling action, but also, after the pull buckle 42 slides a certain distance, that is, after the sliding handle 44 slides to the end of the groove 43, the sliding handle 44 drags the end of the groove 43, causing the positioning buckle 41 to separate from the test tube body 10.

[0027] In some embodiments, the sample collector 50 includes a drainage tube 52 extending upwards from the inner top wall of the top cover 20. This design creates a communication structure between the drainage tube 52 and the interior of the top cover 20, ensuring that the sample can flow smoothly from the top cover 20 into the test tube body 10. The drainage tube 52 has a notch 51 on its side, and a guide funnel 53 is provided at the notch 51. The guide funnel 53 provides an initial flow channel for the sample, guiding the sample towards the drainage tube 52. The notch 51 not only facilitates sample introduction but also ensures that the sample enters the drainage tube 52 accurately, avoiding sample spillage or waste. In practical applications, the patient urinates into the sample collector 50. The urine first contacts the guide funnel 53, and under the guidance of the guide funnel 53, the urine smoothly passes through the notch 51 into the drainage tube 52. The drainage tube 52, as a channel connecting the top cover 20 and the test tube body 10, ensures that the urine can flow smoothly into the test tube body 10 for storage and subsequent testing. This structural design not only improves the efficiency of sample collection, but also enhances the convenience and reliability of operation, making it particularly suitable for medical testing scenarios that require rapid and accurate sample collection.

[0028] In some embodiments, the guide funnel 53 is sheet-shaped, with an internal recess extending to the notch 51 of the drainage tube 52. This design allows the guide funnel 53 to better conform to the shape of the female reproductive organs, providing a more user-friendly experience. The sheet-like structure not only reduces resistance to sample flow but also prevents sample spillage or waste, ensuring sample integrity and detection accuracy. The internal recess design of the guide funnel 53 further optimizes the sample flow path, ensuring that the sample can accurately enter the drainage tube 52, avoiding sample spillage or loss. This design is particularly suitable for female patients because the structure of the female reproductive organs is more complex, and the sheet-like guide funnel 53 can better guide the sample into the drainage tube 52. For male patients, the sheet-like design and internal recess of the guide funnel 53 also provide a clear flow direction, ensuring that the sample can flow smoothly into the drainage tube 52, reducing inconvenience and errors during sample collection.

[0029] In some embodiments, a protective film for dust prevention is applied to the outside of the flexible film 30. Before the flexible film 30 is stretched, the protective film serves to prevent dust and contamination, and also ensures the stability of the fit between the flexible film 30 and the pull buckle 42, providing support for the top cover 20 and ensuring the smooth progress of the sample collection process. When it is necessary to seal the test tube, the user can easily peel off the protective film and then perform a pulling operation to allow the flexible film 30 to stretch smoothly and cover the opening of the test tube body 10, completing the seal.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
