Detailed Implementation

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 andFigure 4 An embodiment of this utility model provides a disposable sampling tube, including a tube body 1, a cover 5 rotatably connected to the outside of the tube body 1, an opening and closing assembly installed on the top of the cover 5, a fixing ring 3 fixedly connected to the outside of the tube body 1, a fixing ring 22 fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing ring 3, a placement tube 2 fixedly connected inside the fixing ring 22, a tube cap 7 provided on the top of the placement tube 2, and a quick-release assembly installed on the outside of the placement tube 2; the opening and closing assembly includes a mounting plate 11, the mounting plate 11 fixedly connected to the top of the cover 5, a connecting plate 10 slidably connected to the middle of the mounting plate 11, a fixing rod 13 fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 10, a rotating plate 12 rotatably connected to the top of the mounting plate 11, a groove 14 provided in the middle of the rotating plate 12, the fixing rod 13 slidably connected inside the groove 14, and a connecting block 6 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating plate 12, which drives the rotating plate 12 to rotate. As the fixing rod 13 slides within the groove 14 of the rotating plate 12, this movement causes the connecting plate 10 to slide, thereby opening the empty slot 3 21 and empty slot 1 9. This provides a channel for the swab 16 containing the sample to extend into the tube body 1, reducing operation steps and time, and improving sample preservation efficiency. A rod 15 is fixedly connected to the middle of the tube cap 7, and a swab 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rod 15. The swab 16 is slidably connected to the middle of the placement tube 2. The placement tube 2 and the tube cap 7 serve to store and protect the swab 16, preventing it from being contaminated or damaged. A tube opening 17 is fixedly connected to the outside of the tube body 1, and a cover 5 is rotatably connected to the outside of the tube opening 17. An empty slot 3 21 is provided in the middle of the cover 5. When it is not necessary to insert or remove the sample, the connecting plate 10 can close the empty slot 3 21, thereby ensuring the airtightness of the tube body 1. Good sealing helps prevent sample leakage and avoids pollution to the surrounding environment. It also prevents external impurities and microorganisms from entering the tube 1, affecting sample quality and test results. Anti-slip strips 4 are fixedly connected to the outside of the cover 5. A slot 9 is formed in the middle of the rotating plate 12, positioned directly above slot 21. A slot 20 is fixedly connected to the middle of the cover 5, and the connecting plate 10 is slidably connected to the middle of slot 20.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5The quick-release assembly includes a locking block 18, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cap 7. A slot 19 is provided in the middle of the placement tube 2, and the slot 19 engages with the locking block 18. The engagement of the locking block 18 and the slot 19 allows for quick separation of the connection between the cap 7 and the placement tube 2. During sampling, the operator can easily pull open the cap 7, allowing the locking block 18 to disengage from the slot 19, quickly pulling out the rod 15 and the swab 16. Compared to traditional connection methods, this significantly reduces the time required to open the cap 7 and remove the swab 16, improving efficiency in the sampling preparation stage. It is particularly suitable for large-scale sampling operations, accelerating the overall sampling progress. A base 8 is externally fixed to the tube body 1 and the placement tube 2, providing stability and preventing the sampling tube from tipping over.

[0036] Working principle: During sampling, the tube cap 7 is pulled out, and the locking block 18 disengages from the locking slot 19, causing the tube cap 7 to pull out the rod body 15 and the swab 16. The swab 16 is used to collect the sample. After the collection is completed, the operator rotates the rotating plate 12 through the connecting block 6, causing the fixing rod 13 to slide in the sliding groove 14, thereby driving the connecting plate 10 to slide towards the cover body 5 and the connecting plate 10 to slide to both sides. The empty slot 3 21 is opened from the top, allowing the swab 16 with the sample to be inserted into the tube body 1 from the empty slot 1 9. The rotating plate 12 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the connecting plate 10 slides to close the empty slot 1 9, so as to preserve the sample.

[0037] The tube body 1 and placement tube 2 are assembled together using fixing ring 3 and fixing ring 22 for integrated packaging, forming a complete sampling and testing kit. This not only facilitates use but also ensures compatibility and matching between components, improving testing efficiency. It is also more compact, lightweight, and easy to transport and store. The cap 5 is a screw cap design, allowing for easy opening to pour in a universal preservation solution for various biological samples and testing projects. Tightening the cap 5 then prevents sample leakage and external contamination.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. 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.
