Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of blood sugar detection, and in particular to a flexible blood sugar electrochemical test probe and an assembling method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Diabetes is a disease caused by an abnormality in the pancreas that prevents the patient from producing enough insulin. Severe cases may develop a series of complications in the later stages, such as kidney failure and skin ulcers. Current medical treatments have yet to find a cure for the condition, and blood sugar can only be controlled through diet or insulin.

[0003] Most diabetics monitor blood sugar levels using traditional blood glucose meters and test strips. These measures blood sugar by measuring the current generated by the reaction between glucose in the blood and glucose oxidase in the test strips. Because these blood glucose tests often use fingertip blood, diabetic patients need to measure their glucose levels daily at designated time periods specified by healthcare providers. Besides the pain associated with repeated needle pricks, this testing method is also susceptible to external factors (diet, mood, exercise, etc.) and cannot effectively monitor the changing trends of a patient's blood sugar.

[0004] With the development of blood glucose monitoring technology, products for real-time dynamic blood glucose monitoring have appeared on the market. By implanting a glucose sensor probe into the human subcutaneous tissue, changes in human blood glucose can be monitored in real time. The sensor probe, in conjunction with external equipment, can dynamically monitor changes in blood glucose levels in diabetic patients 24 hours a day, providing reliable data information to professional medical staff, so as to better treat diabetic patients. Currently, dynamic blood glucose monitoring on the market mainly uses metal electrodes. Excessive size or thickness will greatly affect the user experience and interfere with daily life. Therefore, there are high requirements for the size of flexible implantable electrodes. In addition, this type of electrode involves the integration of multiple electrodes, and the production and assembly are relatively complex and difficult to assemble. The production and assembly process will inevitably have a great impact on the reliability and stability of the electrode, so the production and assembly process are relatively high. Summary of the Invention

[0056] The structure, features and effects of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments:

[0057] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides a flexible blood glucose electrochemical test probe, which consists of a first electrode assembly 1 and a second electrode assembly 2, wherein:

[0058] The first electrode assembly 1 includes, from bottom to top, the following:

[0059] A first flexible circuit substrate 11, on which a first electrode 111 and at least one first annular external connection pad 112 are provided, wherein the first electrode and the first annular external connection pad are connected via a first wire 113;

[0064] A second insulating layer 22 , wherein the second insulating layer has a second electrode groove 221 formed at a position corresponding to the first electrode groove 121 ;

[0065] A second insulating adhesive layer 23;

[0066] The first insulating layer 12, the first insulating adhesive layer 13, the second insulating layer 22 and the second insulating adhesive layer 23 are provided with pad holes (122, 131, 222, 231) at positions corresponding to the first annular external pad 112 and the second annular external pad 212. The first flexible circuit substrate 11 is provided with a pad hole 114 at a position corresponding to the second annular external pad 212. The second flexible circuit substrate 21 is provided with a pad hole 214 at a position corresponding to the first annular external pad 112.

[0067] The first electrode assembly 1 and the second electrode assembly 2 are bonded together via a second insulating adhesive layer 23 .

[0068] Specifically, the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 211 each include a distal insertion portion and a proximal retention portion. The distal insertion portion is used to penetrate the subject's skin, and the proximal retention portion is used to attach to the electrode assembly. This is a conventional design and will not be described in detail here. The first electrode 111 is the working electrode, and the second electrode 211 is the reference electrode. Alternatively, the first electrode is the reference electrode, and the second electrode is the working electrode. Preferably, the first and second electrodes are wire electrodes.

[0069] Since the metal wire electrodes are extremely thin, they can be easily mixed up by the naked eye; and since the electrodes are coated with enzymes, the junction of the two electrodes can easily cause mutual contamination of the enzymes; however, by adopting the above structure, the flexible blood glucose electrochemical test probe is divided into two electrode assemblies, which can realize the two electrodes being processed separately, and then assembled together after being processed into independent components, which can effectively avoid the two electrodes from being mixed up and contaminated with each other; by setting the first electrode groove and the second electrode groove to limit the first electrode and the second electrode, it can be ensured that the two electrodes are parallel at the closest distance; and the multi-layer composite structure of the flexible circuit substrate is adopted, and the total thickness does not exceed 1mm, which ensures the comfort of the person being tested.

[0070] This embodiment can be further implemented through the following structure:

[0071] In the flexible blood glucose electrochemical test probe, the number of the first annular external connection pads 112 is two; the number of the second annular external connection pads 212 is two.

[0072] Specifically, one end of the first wire 113 is connected to the first annular external connection pad 112, and the other end is connected to the first electrode pad 115. One end of the second wire 213 is connected to the second annular external connection pad 212, and the other end is connected to the second electrode pad 215. The first insulating layer 12 has a first window 123 at a position corresponding to the first electrode pad 115, and the second insulating layer 22 has a second window 223 at a position corresponding to the second electrode pad 215. Conductive components (not shown) can be disposed in the first and second windows to ensure electrical continuity between the first electrode 111 and the first electrode pad 115, and between the second electrode 211 and the second electrode pad 215. The conductive components can be conductive glue, conductive rubber, conductive silver paste, or a copper nut; preferably, a two-component conductive glue can be used.

[0073] After the first electrode assembly 1 is assembled, the first electrode 111 is respectively connected to the two first electrode pads 115 on the first flexible circuit substrate 11, and the two first electrode pads 115 are respectively connected to their corresponding first annular external pads 112. Therefore, it is only necessary to detect whether the two first annular external pads are connected to determine whether the first electrode is connected to the first flexible circuit substrate.

[0074] Similarly, after the second electrode assembly 2 is assembled, the second electrode 211 is respectively connected to the two second electrode pads 215 on the second flexible circuit substrate 21, and the two second electrode pads 215 are respectively connected to their corresponding second annular external pads 212. Therefore, it is only necessary to detect whether the two second annular external pads are connected to determine whether the second electrode is connected to the second flexible circuit substrate.

[0075] Therefore, by adopting the above structure, the first electrode assembly and the second electrode assembly can be tested for conductivity separately after assembly, avoiding electrode disconnection and poor contact, improving the yield, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the probe and effectively reducing production costs.

[0076] Preferably, the first annular external connection pad 112 and the second annular external connection pad 212 are disposed on different sides of the first flexible circuit substrate 11 and the second flexible circuit substrate 21, so as to avoid short circuits caused by close distances between conductor areas.

[0077] In the aforementioned flexible blood glucose electrochemical test probe, conductive components (not shown) are disposed in the pad holes corresponding to at least one first annular external connection pad 112 and at least one second annular external connection pad 212, ensuring electrical continuity between the first electrode assembly 1 and the second electrode assembly 2 and pads (not shown) on the main control PCB (not shown). Preferably, conductive components are disposed in the pad holes corresponding to both first annular external connection pads and both second annular external connection pads, ensuring electrical continuity between the two first annular external connection pads and the two second annular external connection pads, respectively, and ensuring electrical continuity between the two first annular external connection pads and the two second annular external connection pads and their corresponding pads on the main control PCB. This prevents disconnection due to poor contact or vibration. The conductive components may be conductive glue, conductive rubber, conductive silver paste, or copper nuts; preferably, a two-component conductive glue is used.

[0078] Preferably, the flexible electrochemical blood glucose test probe further comprises a third insulating adhesive layer 24 disposed on the lower surface of the second flexible circuit substrate 21 for securing the flexible electrochemical blood glucose test probe to the main control PCB. The third insulating adhesive layer 23 includes solder pad holes 241 at locations corresponding to the first and second annular external solder pads 112 and 212.

[0079] Preferably, in the flexible blood glucose electrochemical test probe, the first insulating adhesive layer 13 , the second insulating adhesive layer 23 and the third insulating adhesive layer 24 are insulating double-sided tapes.

If so, the first assembly is assembled properly and step S2 can be performed.
