[0026] Reference Figure 1-5 The figure shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0027] The test strip conveying and recovery structure can be used in any setting that requires the test strip 200, for example, in a smart toilet to convey the test strip 200 to the urination area.

[0028] The test strip conveying and recovery structure includes a strip-shaped test strip box 100, a test strip 200 and a conveying belt. The test strip box 100 has a cavity 101 with a top opening, the cavity 101 extends along the length direction of the test strip box 100, and the test strip 200 is movably placed in the cavity 101; the front end of the test strip box 100 has a conveying opening 102 that is connected to the cavity 101 and for the test strip 200 to pass through.

[0029] The conveyor belt is located directly below the test strip box 100. The conveyor belt extends along the moving direction of the test strip 200. The bottom of the test strip 200 is exposed. The conveyor belt is connected to the bottom of the test strip 200 through a connecting structure. The conveyor belt drives the test strip 200 to move through the conveying opening 102 through the connecting structure, and conveys the test strip 200 out of the cavity 101 or recycles it into the cavity 101.

[0030] The test strip conveying and recovery structure provided above can drive the test strip 200 to move in the test strip box 100 through the conveying belt through the connecting structure. The test strip 200 can be conveyed out of the test strip box 100 through the conveying opening 102 for urine collection, etc. After the urine is collected, the test strip 200 can pass through the conveying opening 102 and be recovered into the test strip box 100. The structure is simple and the conveying and recovery of the test strip 200 can be realized very conveniently.

[0031] In this embodiment, a guide groove connecting the cavity 101 is provided at the bottom of the test strip box 100, and the guide groove extends along the length direction of the test strip box 100. An upper connecting block 202 extends toward the bottom of the test strip 200. The conveyor belt has an upper section 301 and a lower section 302. The upper section 301 and the lower section 302 are arranged in parallel up and down. By winding the upper section 301 and the lower section 302 on the motor, the rotation and transportation of the conveyor belt can be achieved.

[0032] A lower connecting block 3012 is provided on the upper section 301, and a connecting groove 3011 with a top opening is provided in the lower connecting block 3012, and side openings connected to the connecting groove 3011 are respectively provided on both sides of the lower connecting block 3012; the upper connecting block 202 of the test strip 200 enters or exits the connecting groove 3011 through the side openings of the connecting groove 3011.

[0033] By providing the connection groove 3011 with a side opening, it is convenient for the upper connection block 202 to enter the connection groove 3011 through the side opening, or to exit the connection groove 3011 through the side opening.

[0034] The middle position of the bottom of the connection groove 3011 is convex upward to form a positioning block 3013, and the bottom of the upper connection block 202 is concave to form a positioning groove 2021. When the upper connection block 202 is placed in the connection groove 3011, the positioning block 3013 is embedded in the positioning groove 2021. In this way, after the upper connection block 202 is placed in the connection groove 3011, the connection is stable by using the cooperation between the positioning block 3013 and the positioning groove 2021, which is convenient for the transportation and recovery of the test strip 200.

[0035] The two sides of the positioning block 3013 are respectively provided with positioning side walls 3014 facing the side openings. From bottom to top, the positioning side walls 3014 are arranged obliquely away from the side openings, and the tops of the two positioning side walls 3014 are butted together to form a top wall. In this way, when the upper connecting block 202 enters the connecting groove 3011 through the side opening, it is convenient for the bottom of the upper connecting block 202 to move along the obliquely arranged positioning side walls 3014, so as to achieve the cooperation between the positioning block 3013 and the positioning groove 2021.

[0036] In this embodiment, the top wall is arranged in a flat shape, so that the cooperation between the positioning block 3013 and the positioning groove 2021 is more stable.

[0037] The height of the positioning block 3013 is greater than the depth of the positioning groove 2021. Thus, when the positioning block 3013 cooperates with the positioning groove 2021, the test strip 200 is lifted upward to a set height, which facilitates the suspended movement of the test strip 200 and facilitates the test strip 200 to pass through the conveying opening 102 for conveying or recycling.

[0038] An elastic layer 3015 is attached to the top of the top wall. The elastic layer 3015 is used to provide elastic support for the cooperation between the positioning block 3013 and the positioning groove 2021, and the positioning block 3013 and the positioning groove 2021 can fluctuate with the elastic fluctuation of the conveyor belt.

[0039] A lower edge strip 400 is provided on both sides of the upper connecting block 202, and the lower edge strip 400 spans the upper section 301 and the lower section 302 from top to bottom; an upper limit channel 401 is provided on the lower edge strip 400, and the upper limit channel 401 has an upper opening toward the upper section 301. When the upper connecting block 202 enters the connecting groove 3011 through the side opening, the upper section 301 enters the upper limit channel 401 through the upper opening.

[0040] In this way, since the upper section 301 passes through the upper limit channel 401 and the upper limit channels 401 are arranged on both sides of the upper connecting block 202, the upper section 301 can be limited to avoid large fluctuations of the upper section 301 and affect the conveying accuracy of the test strip 200.

[0041] A lower limit channel 402 is provided on the lower edge strip 400. The lower limit channel 402 has a lower opening toward the lower section 302. When the upper connecting block 202 enters the connecting groove 3011 through the side opening, the lower section 302 enters the lower limit channel 402 through the lower opening. In this way, since the lower section 302 passes through the lower limit channel 402 and the lower limit channels 402 are arranged on both sides of the upper connecting block 202, the lower section 302 can be limited to avoid large fluctuations of the lower section 302, which affects the conveying accuracy of the test strip 200. Secondly, through the upper and lower arrangement of the upper limit channel 401 and the lower limit channel 402, the spacing accuracy between the upper section 301 and the lower section 302 can be limited.

[0042] A guide slope is provided at the front end of the bottom of the cavity 101, the bottom of the guide slope is butted against the bottom of the cavity 101, and the top of the guide slope is arranged to tilt upwards and butted against the bottom of the delivery opening 102; when the test strip 200 moves toward the delivery opening 102, the front end of the test strip 200 moves upwards along the guide slope to the delivery opening 102. In this way, the test strip 200 is easily aligned with the delivery opening 102 during the delivery process.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
