Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of medical electronic technology, and in particular to a monitoring device and monitoring equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Diabetes is a metabolic disease caused by the pancreas's inability to produce enough insulin (Type I) or insulin ineffectiveness (Type II). Diabetes has over 100 complications, making it one of the diseases with the most known complications, such as kidney failure, skin ulcers, and vitreous hemorrhage. Once these complications occur, they are difficult to reverse with medication. Diabetes is often difficult to detect in its early stages and does not significantly impact daily life. If fasting blood glucose is used to diagnose diabetes, the false negative rate can reach 60%. Therefore, developing wearable monitoring devices to enable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) will be of great significance in the field of health and wellness.
[0003] Existing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices implant analyte sensors subcutaneously via a minimally invasive procedure, while the monitoring device is attached to the skin. Based on electrochemical principles, they measure glucose concentration in human tissue fluid in real time. However, existing monitoring devices require wireless or Bluetooth activation after being attached to the skin, making operation cumbersome. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application provides a monitoring device and a monitoring equipment including the monitoring device, aiming to obtain a monitoring device and monitoring equipment that are easy to start.
[0005] In a first aspect, a monitoring device is provided. The monitoring device includes a housing, a circuit board, a start-up post, an analytical sensor, and an adhesive layer. The circuit board is housed inside the housing. The housing includes a top wall and a bottom wall. The adhesive layer is connected to the surface of the bottom wall facing away from the top wall. One end of the analytical sensor is located inside the housing and is electrically connected to the circuit board, while the other end penetrates the bottom wall and protrudes relative to the adhesive layer.
[0006] The first end of the starter post is located inside the housing and is elastically connected to the top wall or circuit board, while the second end of the starter post penetrates the bottom wall and is exposed relative to the adhesive layer.
[0007] The start-up post can move in the direction toward the circuit board. When the second end protrudes relative to the adhesive layer, the monitoring device is not turned on. When the end face of the second end is flush with the adhesive layer, the start-up post turns on the monitoring device.
[0008] Understandably, when the monitoring device is not yet applied to the user's skin, the second end protrudes relative to the adhesive layer, the monitoring device's circuit is disconnected, and the monitoring device is not activated. When the monitoring device is applied to the user's skin, due to the elastic connection of the activation post to the top wall or circuit board, the second end is subjected to the reaction force of the skin and moves in the direction away from the skin (towards the circuit board) until the end face of the second end is flush with the adhesive layer. The activation post then connects the monitoring device's circuit, activating the monitoring device, and the monitoring device's analysis sensor begins to continuously monitor the user's blood glucose concentration.
[0009] This embodiment incorporates an activation post in the monitoring device. When the device is attached to the user's skin, the activation post experiences a reaction force from the skin, causing the end face of the second end to align with the adhesive layer. This activation post then activates the monitoring device. Compared to incorporating a Bluetooth or network module into the monitoring device and using a mobile phone or other operable device for wireless or Bluetooth activation, this method is more convenient. It eliminates the need for any manual operation; the monitoring device simply needs to be placed against the skin to activate, thus improving the user experience.
[0010] Meanwhile, since the monitoring device in this application does not have a Bluetooth module or network module for turning on the monitoring device, the number of components installed on the circuit board can be effectively reduced, the circuit design of the circuit board is simpler, the cost is reduced, and the circuit board can be made smaller, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the monitoring device. The smaller the monitoring device, the less discomfort it brings to the user, and the better the user's wearing experience.
[0011] It is understandable that when a monitoring device is activated wirelessly or via Bluetooth, it needs to operate in a low-power standby mode before being applied to the user's skin (from the time the device leaves the factory until it is applied). This requires more power consumption, necessitating a large battery to ensure sufficient battery life, which hinders miniaturization and extended battery life. The monitoring device in this application achieves mechanical activation via a start-up post, eliminating the need for standby before skin application. This allows for a smaller battery, promoting miniaturization and extended battery life.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the circuit board includes a first conductive sheet and a second conductive sheet. When the second end protrudes relative to the adhesive layer, the first and second conductive sheets are spaced apart, and the monitoring device is not activated. When the end face of the second end is flush with the adhesive layer, the first and second conductive sheets are connected, and the monitoring device is activated. In other words, this application activates the monitoring device by controlling the first and second conductive sheets.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the first end is provided with a first arm, the first arm is insulated, and both the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet are elastic.
[0014] When the second end protrudes relative to the adhesive layer, the first arm is positioned between the first and second conductive sheets to separate them. When the end face of the second end is flush with the adhesive layer, the first arm moves in a direction away from the bottom wall, and the first and second conductive sheets come into contact and become conductive. In this implementation, the first end, by setting the first arm to cooperate with the first and second conductive sheets, enables the monitoring device to be turned on or off.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the first end is provided with a first arm, the first arm is insulated, and the first conductive sheet is elastic;
[0016] When the second end protrudes relative to the adhesive layer, the first arm, the first conductive sheet, and the second conductive sheet are arranged sequentially at intervals. When the end face of the second end is flush with the adhesive layer, the first arm moves toward the first conductive sheet and presses the first conductive sheet into contact with the second conductive sheet, thus establishing contact and electrical connection between the first and second conductive sheets. In this implementation, the first end, through the cooperation of the first arm with the first and second conductive sheets, enables the monitoring device to be turned on or off.
[0017] In one possible implementation, the distance between the surface of the second end protruding relative to the adhesive layer and the adhesive layer is within the range of 1mm to 3mm. By limiting the distance between the surface of the second end protruding relative to the adhesive layer and the adhesive layer to within the range of 1mm to 3mm (inclusive), it is ensured that when the monitoring device is applied to the user's skin, the second end of the activation post can better contact the user's skin before the adhesive layer, so that the second end is moved towards the circuit board by the reaction force of the skin, thereby turning on the monitoring device.
[0018] In one possible implementation, the circuit board includes a clearance hole, through which the first end is elastically connected to the top wall. By providing the clearance hole, the circuit board allows the first end to be elastically connected to the top wall. It is understood that the circuit board is located inside the housing, and the distance from the circuit board to the bottom wall is less than the distance from the top wall to the bottom wall. The activation post is elastically connected to the circuit board. Compared to the activation post being elastically connected to the top wall, the length of the activation post's movement is smaller. To ensure that the length of the activation post's movement meets the requirements, the thickness of the monitoring device needs to be greater, which is detrimental to the miniaturization of the monitoring device. In other words, the activation post elastically connecting to the top wall is beneficial for the thinning of the monitoring device. Of course, in other embodiments, when the first end is elastically connected to the circuit board, the body 1 does not include a clearance hole.
[0019] In one possible implementation, the monitoring device further includes an elastic element that passes through a clearance hole, with one end connected to the first end and the other end connected to the top wall. The elastic element allows the actuation post to move towards the circuit board to achieve the closing and opening of the monitoring device.
[0020] In one possible implementation, the elastic element is a spring or a sheet.
[0021] In one possible implementation, the first end is equipped with a hook. As the guide post moves away from the bottom wall, the hook passes through the clearance hole and abuts against the surface of the circuit board facing the top wall. The hook effectively prevents the user from moving the starting post closer to the skin during movement, thus preventing the first arm from contacting the first and second conductive plates again and causing the switching circuit to disconnect.
[0022] In one possible implementation, the hook includes an inclined surface, and the wall of the clearance hole includes an inclined surface that mates with the inclined surface of the hook, so that the hook can penetrate the clearance hole. Both the inclined surface of the hook and the inclined surface of the clearance hole are used for guidance, so that the hook can smoothly slide into and penetrate the clearance hole when the starting column moves away from the bottom wall.
[0023] In one possible implementation, the starting post is made of an insulating material so that there is no electrical connection between the first and second conductive plates.
[0024] In one possible implementation, the activation post is made of metal and includes a second arm connected to the first end. A temperature sensor is mounted on the circuit board. When the end face of the second end is flush with the adhesive layer, the second arm contacts the temperature sensor. When the monitoring device is attached to the user's skin, the second end of the activation post contacts the user's skin to transmit the user's skin temperature to the temperature sensor.
[0025] It is understandable that the activation column of this application can also be used for temperature conduction. In other words, the activation column can both collect temperature data and activate the monitoring device, serving a dual purpose. This avoids the need for two separate components for temperature collection and device activation, which would result in too many components occupying internal space. This promotes miniaturization of the monitoring device, improves its integration and simplification, and reduces product costs. Furthermore, since the activation column in this application directly contacts the user's skin, compared to existing monitoring devices that place the temperature transmission component inside the housing, the activation column in this application detects human body temperature more quickly and accurately.
[0026] In one possible implementation, the monitoring device includes a heat-conducting medium covering the surface of the temperature sensor to transfer temperature from the second arm to the temperature sensor, thereby improving the effective transfer of temperature between the start-up column and the temperature sensor.
[0027] In one possible implementation, when the second end protrudes relative to the adhesive layer, the distance between the heat-conducting medium and the second arm is less than the distance of the second end protruding relative to the adhesive layer. Thus, when the end face of the second end of the starting column is flush with the adhesive layer, the starting column has a certain amount of compression (10% to 30%) on the heat-conducting medium to ensure sufficient contact between the starting column and the heat-conducting medium, reduce temperature loss, and improve the efficiency of temperature transfer.
[0028] In one possible implementation, the bottom wall includes a through hole, through which the second end is exposed relative to the adhesive layer. The wall of the through hole also serves to limit the movement of the starting post, preventing it from tilting during movement.
[0029] In one possible implementation, a sealing ring is used to seal the connection between the starter post and the wall of the through hole to prevent external moisture from entering the housing through the through hole, thus ensuring that components such as circuit boards inside the housing are not damaged by water ingress.
[0030] Secondly, a monitoring device is also provided. The monitoring device includes an implanter and the aforementioned monitoring apparatus, wherein the implanter is used to assist in analyzing the sensor implantation and application location. The monitoring device with the aforementioned monitoring apparatus is simple to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0058] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0059] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. The directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of this application, such as "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of this application, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application. "Multiple" refers to at least two.
[0060] It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0061] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0062] This application provides a monitoring device. The monitoring device is a wearable device that can be used to monitor various biochemical target substances such as blood glucose, lactic acid, uric acid, dissolved oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, and ions. This application uses the monitoring device for monitoring blood glucose as an example for specific description.
[0063] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2A , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a monitoring device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2A yes Figure 1 The exploded view of the monitoring device 100 shown.
[0064] The monitoring device 100 includes a monitoring unit 10 and an implanter 20. The monitoring unit 10 includes an analytical sensor, which is attached to the user's skin (typically the skin of the user's arm or abdomen). The analytical sensor is implanted subcutaneously and measures the glucose concentration in human tissue fluid in real time based on electrochemical principles, acquiring measurement data. The monitoring unit 10 typically includes a data transmission module that can send the measurement data to a receiver (such as a mobile phone, computer, watch, or bracelet, or other dedicated devices that work in conjunction with the monitoring unit 10). The receiver can then display the measurement data. Because the monitoring unit 10 is attached to the skin, it allows for long-term, continuous, real-time monitoring of glucose concentration in human tissue fluid, avoiding the high rate of missed diagnoses that can easily occur when only fasting blood glucose is measured.
[0065] The implanter 20 assists in the implantation of the analytical sensor of the monitoring device 10 at the location where the user needs to apply the monitoring device 10, i.e., it assists in the implantation of the analytical sensor of the monitoring device 10 into the user's skin. It is understood that because the analytical sensor is relatively soft and cannot be inserted into human skin, the implanter 20 assists in the successful insertion of the analytical sensor into the user's skin.
[0066] For example, the implant 20 may include a receiving cavity 21 and an implantation button 22, in which the monitoring device 10 is received. When the user needs to attach the monitoring device 10 to the user's skin, such as Figure 2B The implanter 20 allows the opening of the receiving cavity 21 to contact the user's skin. Then, pressing the implantation button 22 causes the implanter 20 to push the monitoring device 10 against the user's skin, allowing the monitoring device 10 to adhere to the user's skin and the analysis sensor to be implanted subcutaneously. The implanter 20 is then removed from the user's skin (e.g., ...). Figure 2C ).
[0067] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 3 yes Figure 2AThe diagram shows the structure of the monitoring device 10 of the monitoring equipment 100. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the monitoring device 10 along the AA direction. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 The exploded view of the monitoring device 10 shown.
[0068] The monitoring device 10 includes a housing 11, a circuit board 12, an activation post 13, an analytical sensor 14, and an adhesive layer 15. The circuit board 12 is housed inside the housing 11, which includes a top wall 111 and a bottom wall 112. The adhesive layer 15 is attached to the surface of the bottom wall 112 facing away from the top wall 111, for attaching the monitoring device 10 to the application site (user's skin). One end of the analytical sensor 14 is located inside the housing 11 and electrically connected to the circuit board 12, while the other end penetrates the bottom wall 112 and protrudes relative to the adhesive layer 15. The first end 131 of the activation post 13 is located inside the housing 11 and elastically connected to the top wall 111. The second end 132 of the activation post 13 extends out of the bottom wall 112 and protrudes relative to the adhesive layer 15. The activation post 13 is movable in a direction toward the circuit board 12. When the second end 132 protrudes relative to the adhesive layer 15 (e.g., when...), it is activated. Figure 4 When the monitoring device 10 is not turned on, and when the monitoring device 10 is applied to the user's skin, the end face of the second end 132 is flush with the adhesive layer 15 (e.g., ...). Figure 6 ), start column 13 to activate monitoring device 10.
[0069] It can be understood that the fact that the end face of the second end 132 is flush with the adhesive layer 15 can be interpreted as the end face of the second end 132 facing away from the first end 131 being on the same plane as the surface of the adhesive layer 15 facing away from the top wall 111. The fact that the end face of the second end 132 is flush with the adhesive layer 15 can also be interpreted as the end face of the second end 132 facing away from the first end 131 being approximately on the same plane as the surface of the adhesive layer 15 facing away from the top wall 111. That is, the end face of the second end 132 can slightly protrude from the surface of the adhesive layer 15 facing away from the top wall 111 and be able to activate the monitoring device 10. Alternatively, the end face of the second end 132 can also be slightly concave within the surface of the adhesive layer 15 facing away from the top wall 111 and still be able to activate the monitoring device 10.
[0070] It is understandable that, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 When the monitoring device 10 is not yet applied to the user's skin, the second end 132 protrudes relative to the adhesive layer 15, the circuit of the monitoring device 10 is in the off state, and the monitoring device 10 is not turned on. Figure 6When the monitoring device 10 is applied to the user's skin, the second end 132 is moved in the direction away from the skin (towards the circuit board 12) by the reaction force of the skin due to the elastic connection of the activation post 13 to the top wall 111 or circuit board 12. The end face of the second end 132 is flush with the adhesive layer 15. The activation post 13 connects the circuit of the monitoring device 10, the monitoring device 10 is turned on, and the analysis sensor 14 of the monitoring device 10 begins to continuously monitor the user's blood glucose concentration.
[0071] This embodiment incorporates an activation post 13 in the monitoring device 10. When the monitoring device 10 is attached to the user's skin, the activation post 13 receives a reaction force from the skin, causing the end face of the second end 132 to align with the adhesive layer 15. This activation post 13 then activates the monitoring device 10. Compared to incorporating a Bluetooth or network module into the monitoring device 10 and using a mobile phone or other operable device to wirelessly or via Bluetooth, this method is more convenient. It eliminates the need for manual activation; the monitoring device 10 activates simply by being placed against the skin, without requiring any user intervention, thus improving the user experience.
[0072] Meanwhile, since the monitoring device 10 in this application does not have a Bluetooth module or network module for turning on the monitoring device 10, the number of components installed on the circuit board 12 can be effectively reduced. The circuit design of the circuit board 12 is simpler, reducing costs and allowing the circuit board 12 to be made smaller, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the monitoring device 10. The smaller the monitoring device 10, the less discomfort it causes to the user, and the better the user's wearing experience.
[0073] It is understandable that when the monitoring device 10 is turned on wirelessly or via Bluetooth, before it is applied to the user's skin (from the time the monitoring device 10 leaves the factory until it is applied to the user's skin), the monitoring device 10 needs to be in a low-power standby mode, requiring more power consumption. To ensure the battery life of the monitoring device 10, the battery inside the monitoring device 10 needs to be very large, which is not conducive to the miniaturization and long battery life of the monitoring device 10. The monitoring device 10 in this application achieves mechanical start-up by setting a start post 13, eliminating the need for the monitoring device 10 to be in standby mode before being applied to the skin. The battery can be made smaller, which is conducive to the miniaturization and long battery life of the monitoring device 10.
[0074] Of course, in other embodiments, the first end 131 of the activation post 13 can also be elastically connected to the circuit board 12. It is understood that the circuit board 12 is located inside the housing 11, and the distance from the circuit board 12 to the bottom wall 112 is less than the distance from the top wall 111 to the bottom wall 112. If the activation post 13 is elastically connected to the circuit board 12, compared to if the activation post 13 is elastically connected to the top wall 111, the movable length of the activation post 13 is smaller. To ensure that the movable length of the activation post 13 meets the requirements, the thickness of the monitoring device 10 needs to be greater, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the monitoring device 10. In other words, if the activation post 13 is elastically connected to the top wall 111, it is beneficial to the thinning of the monitoring device 10.
[0075] Of course, in other embodiments, the first end 131 of the start post 13 can also be flexibly connected to other components besides the circuit board 12 and the top wall, as long as the start post 13 can enable the monitoring device 10 to be turned on.
[0076] In this embodiment, when the second end 132 of the activation post 13 protrudes relative to the adhesive layer 15, the distance between the protruding surface of the second end 132 relative to the adhesive layer 15 and the adhesive layer 15 is within the range of 1mm to 3mm (inclusive). By limiting the distance between the protruding surface of the second end 132 relative to the adhesive layer 15 and the adhesive layer 15 to the range of 1mm to 3mm (inclusive), it is ensured that when the monitoring device 10 is applied to the user's skin, the second end 132 of the activation post 13 can better contact the user's skin before the adhesive layer 15, so that the second end 132 is subjected to the reaction force of the skin and moves towards the circuit board 12, thereby realizing the activation of the monitoring device 10.
[0077] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The housing 11 is circular. The housing 11 includes a first housing 11A and a second housing 11B. The first housing 11A includes a bottom wall 112 and a first peripheral wall 113 surrounding the bottom wall 112. The bottom wall 112 is the same as the bottom wall 112 of the housing 11. An adhesive layer 15 is attached to the surface of the bottom wall 112 facing away from the first peripheral wall 113. The second housing 11B includes a top wall 111 and a second peripheral wall 114 surrounding the top wall 111. The top wall 111 is the same as the top wall 111 of the housing 11. The surface of the second peripheral wall 114 facing away from the top wall 111 has a mating groove 1141. The second housing 11B covers the first housing 11A. The first peripheral wall 113 engages with the mating groove 1141 of the second peripheral wall 114. The first peripheral wall 113 can be fixed to the mating groove 1141 with adhesive. The first housing 11A and the second housing 11B together enclose a space for accommodating components such as the circuit board 12.
[0078] Of course, in other implementation scenarios, the shape of the housing 11 can also be square, rectangular, irregular, star-shaped, heart-shaped, or other shapes. In yet another implementation scenario, the first housing 11A and the second housing 11B can also be fixed by means of ultrasonic welding or other fixing methods. Of course, in yet another implementation scenario, the second peripheral wall 114 may not have a mating groove, and the surface of the first peripheral wall facing away from the bottom wall and the surface of the second peripheral wall facing away from the top wall can also be sealed between them by adhesive bonding.
[0079] It is understood that in this embodiment, by providing a mating groove 1141 on the second peripheral wall 114, the first peripheral wall 113 of the first housing 11A is engaged within the mating groove 1141, and the first peripheral wall 113 and the mating groove 1141 are fixed by an adhesive. This not only achieves a stable connection between the first housing 11A and the second housing 11B, but also ensures good sealing at the connection between the first housing 11A and the second housing 11B by filling the gap between the mating groove 1141 and the first peripheral wall 113 with the adhesive. Since the monitoring device 10 needs to continuously monitor the user's blood glucose concentration for more than ten days, it needs to be worn on the user's skin for more than ten days. By ensuring the sealing of the first housing 11A and the second housing 11B, water ingress and damage to the monitoring device 10 are prevented during the user's bathing, swimming, or other activities.
[0080] In this embodiment, the materials of the first housing 11A and the second housing 11B can be polycarbonate or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, etc. The housing 11 in this embodiment consists of two parts (the first housing 11A and the second housing 11B) to facilitate the assembly of the monitoring device 10. Of course, in other embodiments, the specific structure of the first housing 11A and the second housing 11B may not be limited to the above description, and this application does not limit this. The surface shape of the bottom wall 112 of the first housing 11A facing away from the top wall 111 can also be adapted to the shape of human skin. Alternatively, the materials of the first housing 11A and the second housing 11B can be relatively soft, adapting to the unevenness of the user's skin, ensuring that the surface of the monitoring device 10 is curved and adheres to the user's skin.
[0081] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 8 , Figure 8 yes Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the first housing 11A in the structure shown from another angle.
[0082] The bottom wall 112 and the first peripheral wall 113 of the first housing 11A form a first space A. The bottom wall 112 may include a through hole 1121 and a receiving wall 1122. The through hole 1121 penetrates two opposite surfaces of the bottom wall 112, and the receiving wall 1122 is fixed to the surface of the bottom wall 112 located in the first space A and surrounds the periphery of the through hole 1121. The receiving wall 1122 and the hole wall of the through hole 1121 together form a space for receiving the starting post 13. The second end 132 of the starting post 13 is exposed relative to the adhesive layer 15 through the through hole 1121. The receiving wall 1122 and the hole wall of the through hole 1121 also limit the movement of the starting post 13, preventing the starting post 13 from deflecting during movement.
[0083] Of course, in other embodiments, the bottom wall 112 may only include the through hole 1121 and not the receiving wall.
[0084] In this embodiment, the receiving enclosure 1122 can be integrally formed with the bottom wall 112, and the receiving enclosure 1122 and the bottom wall 112 can be formed integrally through injection molding. The side of the receiving enclosure 1122 facing away from the bottom wall 112 also has a notch B for avoiding the starting column 13, so that the starting column 13 is not obstructed during movement. Of course, the receiving enclosure 1122 can also be fixed to the bottom wall 112 by other connection methods such as bonding or screwing.
[0085] The bottom wall 112 may further include a clearance hole 1123, an isolation wall 1124, and a limiting wall 1125. The clearance hole 1123 penetrates two opposing surfaces of the bottom wall 112 and is spaced apart from the through hole 1121. The isolation wall 1124 is fixed to the surface of the bottom wall 112 located in the first space A and surrounds the perimeter of the clearance hole 1123. The limiting wall 1125 is adjacent to and communicates with the isolation wall 1124. One end of the analysis sensor 14 is confined within the space formed by the limiting wall 1125 and the bottom wall 112, and the other end of the analysis sensor 14 extends into the isolation wall 1124 and protrudes from the bottom wall 112 through the clearance hole 1123. The isolation wall 1124 is used to isolate the other end of the analysis sensor 14 from the first space A, that is, to achieve isolation between the first space A and the interior of the isolation wall 1124. Of course, in other embodiments, the bottom wall 112 may not include the limiting wall.
[0086] The isolation fence 1124 and the limiting fence 1125 can be integrally formed with the base wall 112. Alternatively, they can be formed as an integral structure using injection molding.
[0087] The bottom wall 112 is also provided with positioning posts 1126, which are used to cooperate with the second housing 11B to realize the installation and positioning of the first housing 11A and the second housing 11B. In this embodiment, there are two positioning posts 1126. The positioning posts 1126 can be integrally formed with the bottom wall 112, or they can be fixed to the bottom wall 112 by means of bonding or other connection methods. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of positioning posts 1126 can be other than that.
[0088] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 , Figure 9 yes Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the second shell 11B of the structure shown from another angle.
[0089] The top wall 111 and the second peripheral wall 114 of the second housing 11B form a second space C. The second space C and the first space A together form the internal space of the housing 11. The top wall 111 includes an isolation wall 1111 and a clearance hole 1112, which penetrates two opposing surfaces of the top wall 111. The isolation wall 1111 is fixed to the surface of the top wall 111 located in the second space C and surrounds the periphery of the clearance hole 1112. When the second housing 11B is fixed to the first housing 11A, the isolation wall 1111 of the second housing 11B is connected to the isolation wall 1124 of the first housing 11A, and the clearance hole 1112 of the second housing 11B and the clearance hole 1123 of the first housing 11A are connected. Figure 8 The implantation device 20 is made to pass through the avoidance hole 1112 and the avoidance hole 1123 in sequence, so as to wrap the analysis sensor 14 extending out of the adhesive layer 15, so as to assist the analysis sensor 14 in being implanted under the user's skin.
[0090] The isolation fence 1111 can be integrally formed with the top wall 111, and the isolation fence 1111 and the top wall 111 can be formed into an integral structure through injection molding. Of course, the isolation fence 1111 can also be fixed to the top wall 111 by other connection methods such as bonding or screwing.
[0091] A limiting post 1113 is also provided on the top wall 111. The limiting post 1113 is used to limit the circuit board 12 so that the circuit board 12 is stably fixed in the housing 11. A limiting hole D is provided on the side of the limiting post 1113 facing away from the top wall 111. The limiting hole D is used to cooperate with the positioning post 1126 of the first housing 11A. The positioning post 1126 is engaged in the limiting hole D of the limiting post 1113. Figure 4 This allows for the installation and alignment of the first housing 11A and the second housing 11B. In other words, the limiting post 1113 in this application serves two purposes: on the one hand, it limits the circuit board 12, and on the other hand, it achieves alignment with the first housing 11A.
[0092] In this embodiment, there are two limiting posts 1113. The limiting posts 1113 can be integrally formed with the top wall 111, or they can be fixed to the top wall 111 by bonding or other connection methods. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of limiting posts 1113 can be other than a certain number. Alternatively, the limiting posts 1113 can be used only to limit the circuit board 12, or the limiting posts 1113 may not include the limiting hole D.
[0093] Of course, in other embodiments, the cooperation between the limiting post 1113 and the positioning post 1126 is not limited to the above description.
[0094] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 10 , Figure 10 yes Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the circuit board 12 shown from another angle.
[0095] In this embodiment, the circuit board 12 includes a body 121 and a first conductive sheet 122 and a second conductive sheet 123 disposed on the body 121. The first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 are used to cooperate with the start post 13 to realize the opening and closing of the monitoring device 10.
[0096] The main body 121 includes a positioning hole 124 corresponding to the limiting post 1113 and a through hole 125 for avoiding the isolation wall 1111 of the second housing 11B. The limiting post 1113 of the second housing 11B passes through the corresponding positioning hole 124 to achieve the positioning of the circuit board 12. The through hole 125 is used to allow the isolation wall 1111 of the second housing 11B to be connected to the isolation wall 1124 of the first housing 11A.
[0097] The end of the analytical sensor 14 furthest from the adhesive layer 15 is fixed to the body 121 and electrically connected to the body 121. The body 121 has a main circuit for generating blood glucose monitoring data (the main circuit may include electronic components with strong data processing capabilities, such as a single-chip microcomputer), a switching circuit for triggering the main circuit to turn on or off, and a data transmission module that can send the measurement data to a receiver (mobile phone, computer, watch, or bracelet, etc.). The body 121 may also have a battery (such as a button battery or a rechargeable lithium battery) to power the main circuit and the switching circuit.
[0098] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 11 yes Figure 10 The diagram shows the structure of the starting column 13 and other components.
[0099] The body 121 also includes a clearance hole 126, through which the first end 131 is elastically connected to the top wall 111. Of course, in other embodiments, when the first end 131 is elastically connected to the circuit board 12, the body 121 does not include a clearance hole.
[0100] The first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 are symmetrically arranged on the body 121 and electrically connected to the switching circuit of the body 121. In this embodiment, both the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 are elastic. One end of the first conductive sheet 122 is fixed to the body 121, and the other end cooperates with the second conductive sheet 123 or the starting post 13. One end of the second conductive sheet 123 is fixed to the body 121, and the other end cooperates with the first conductive sheet 122 or the starting post 13 to realize the activation of the monitoring device 10.
[0101] Please see Figure 11 and Figure 12 , Figure 12 yes Figure 11 A schematic diagram of another state of the structure shown. Wherein, Figure 11 The structure shown corresponds to the state when monitoring device 10 is not turned on. Figure 12 The structure shown corresponds to the state when monitoring device 10 is turned on.
[0102] Specifically, such as Figure 11 When the second end 132 of the starting post 13 protrudes relative to the adhesive layer 15, the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 are spaced apart, the switching circuit of the monitoring device 10 is disconnected, and the monitoring device 10 is not turned on. Figure 12 When the end face of the second end 132 of the starting column 13 is flush with the adhesive layer 15, the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 are connected, the switching circuit of the monitoring device 10 is closed, and the monitoring device 10 is turned on.
[0103] For example, when the second end 132 of the activation post 13 protrudes relative to the adhesive layer 15, the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 are separated by the activation post 13, the switching circuit of the circuit board 12 is disconnected, and the monitoring device 10 is not turned on. The activation post 13 serves to partially insulate the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123. When the end face of the second end 132 of the activation post 13 is flush with the adhesive layer 15, the activation post 13 moves and is no longer separated between the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123. The first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 then make contact and conduct under elastic action, the switching circuit of the circuit board 12 is turned on, and the monitoring device 10 is turned on.
[0104] Please see Figure 13 , Figure 13 yes Figure 11 The diagram shows the structure of the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123.
[0105] In this embodiment, the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 are made of the same material and have the same structure. Taking the first conductive sheet 122 as an example, its structure will be described. The first conductive sheet 122 is a thin plate with a thickness of 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm (inclusive). The first conductive sheet 122 includes a guide portion 1221, a bonding portion 1222, a rotating portion 1223, and a welding portion 1224 connected in sequence. The welding portion 1224 is welded to the body 121 and electrically connected to the body 121. The conductive portion facilitates the installation of the starting post 13 between the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123. When the monitoring device 10 is attached to the user's skin, the bonding portion 1222 is the part where the first conductive sheet 122 contacts the second conductive sheet 123.
[0106] In this embodiment, the angle between the guide portion 1221 and the fitting portion 1222 is 30 degrees to 60 degrees (inclusive), so as to facilitate the installation of the starting post 13 between the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123. The angle between the rotating portion 1223 and the welding portion 1224 is 15 degrees to 65 degrees (inclusive), so as to provide sufficient deformation and restoring force for the first conductive sheet 122.
[0107] Please refer to it again. Figure 11 and Figure 12 The circuit board 12 also includes a temperature sensor 127, which is connected to and electrically connected to the body 121. When the second end 132 of the activation post 13 protrudes relative to the adhesive layer 15, the activation post 13 is spaced apart from the temperature sensor 127. When the end face of the second end 132 of the activation post 13 is flush with the adhesive layer 15, the activation post 13 contacts the temperature sensor 127. Since the activation post 13 is in contact with the user's skin, the temperature of the user's skin is transmitted to the temperature sensor 127 through the activation post 13 and is acquired by the temperature sensor 127.
[0108] It is understood that the activation post 13 of this application can also be used for temperature conduction. In other words, the activation post 13 can both collect temperature and activate the monitoring device 10, serving a dual purpose. This avoids the need for two separate components for temperature collection and activation of the monitoring device 10, which would result in too many components occupying internal space in the housing 11. This promotes miniaturization of the monitoring device 10, improves its integration and simplification, and reduces product costs. Furthermore, since the activation post 13 in this application directly contacts the user's skin, compared to existing monitoring devices where the temperature transmission element is located inside the housing 11, the activation post 13 in this application detects human body temperature more quickly and accurately.
[0109] In some implementations, such as Figure 12The monitoring device 10 includes a thermally conductive medium 128 that covers the surface of the temperature sensor 127 to transfer the temperature from the activation post 13 to the temperature sensor 127, thereby improving the effective temperature transfer between the activation post 13 and the temperature sensor 127. The thermally conductive medium 128 can be thermally conductive grease, thermally conductive gel, or a thermally conductive pad, etc. In other embodiments, the surface of the temperature sensor 127 may not have a thermally conductive medium, and the activation post 13 may directly contact the temperature sensor 127.
[0110] In some embodiments, when the second end 132 of the starting post 13 protrudes relative to the adhesive layer 15, the distance between the heat-conducting medium 128 and the portion of the starting post 13 facing each other is less than the distance of the second end 132 protruding relative to the adhesive layer 15. Thus, when the end face of the second end 132 of the starting post 13 is flush with the adhesive layer 15, the starting post 13 has a certain amount of compression (10% to 30%) on the heat-conducting medium 128, so as to ensure sufficient contact between the starting post 13 and the heat-conducting medium 128, reduce temperature loss and improve the efficiency of temperature transfer.
[0111] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 14 , Figure 14 yes Figure 5 The diagram shows the structure of the starting column 13 and related structures.
[0112] In this embodiment, the activation post 13 is made of a metal material. The metal material can be, for example, an aluminum alloy, copper alloy, stainless steel, or other excellent thermal conductive materials. When the monitoring device 10 is attached to the user's skin, the second end 132 of the activation post 13 contacts the user's skin, transferring the user's skin temperature to the temperature sensor 127. Of course, in other embodiments, the activation post 13 can also be made of an insulating material. The monitoring device 10 can transfer the body temperature to the temperature sensor 127 through other heat transfer components.
[0113] The diameter of the first end 131 of the starter post 13 is greater than the diameter of the second end 132. Correspondingly, the diameter of the portion of the through hole 1121 of the first housing 11A away from the adhesive layer 15 is greater than the portion near the adhesive layer 15, so as to prevent the first end 131 of the starter post 13 from being exposed relative to the adhesive layer 15 through the through hole 1121 of the first housing 11A, so as to limit the starter post 13 to the first housing 11A.
[0114] The walls of the starting post 13 and the through hole 1121, as well as the wall between the starting post 13 and the enclosure wall 1122, are sealed by a sealing ring 16 to prevent external moisture from entering the interior of the first housing 11A through the through hole 1121, ensuring that components such as the circuit board 12 inside the housing 11 are not damaged by water ingress. For example, a groove 133 is provided on the outer periphery of the first end 131 of the starting post 13 near the second end 132, and the sealing ring 16 is disposed inside the groove 133. The material of the sealing ring 16 can be fluororubber, silicone rubber, or nitrile rubber, etc.
[0115] like Figure 4 and Figure 14 The monitoring device 10 also includes an elastic element 17, through which the starting column 13 is elastically connected to the top wall 111. Specifically, the elastic element 17 passes through the clearance hole 126 of the circuit board 12, with one end connected to the first end 131 and the other end connected to the top wall 111. In this embodiment, the end face of the first end 131 facing away from the second end 132 is provided with a fixing groove 1311, one end of the elastic element 17 is fixed in the fixing groove 1311, and the other end abuts against the top wall 111. The elastic element 17 can be a spring or a sheet spring. The material of the elastic element 17 can be 65Mn steel, piano wire (SWP-B), iron, austenitic-martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steel (07Cr17Ni7Al), etc.
[0116] Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic element 17 can also be fixed to the end face of the first end 131 facing away from the second end 132 by means of bonding or other connection methods.
[0117] Please see Figure 15 , Figure 15 yes Figure 4 A schematic diagram of another embodiment of the structure shown.
[0118] In some other implementations, such as Figure 15 As shown, the top wall 111 is also provided with a recess 1114. One end of the elastic member 17 that abuts against the top wall 111 is limited to the recess 1114 so that the elastic member 17 is stably fixed to the top wall 111 and will not be deflected and cause functional failure.
[0119] Please see Figure 16 , Figure 16 yes Figure 4 A schematic diagram of another embodiment of the structure shown.
[0120] In some other implementations, such as Figure 16 As shown, the top wall 111 is also provided with a limiting structure 1115. The limiting structure 1115 and the top wall 111 together form a limiting space. The end of the elastic member 17 that abuts against the top wall 111 is limited within the limiting space so that the elastic member 17 is stably fixed to the top wall 111 and will not be deflected and cause functional failure.
[0121] Please see Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 14 The first end 131 of the activation post 13 is provided with a first arm 134. The first arm 134 is insulated and is used to cooperate with the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 to realize the activation of the monitoring device 10. Specifically, when the second end 132 of the activation post 13 protrudes relative to the adhesive layer 15, the first arm 134 is located between the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 to separate the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123, specifically between the bonding portions of the two conductive sheets. That is to say, before the monitoring device 10 is applied to the user's skin, the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 are not conductive due to the separation by the first arm 134.
[0122] When the end face of the second end 132 of the starting column 13 is flush with the adhesive layer 15, that is, when the monitoring device 10 is applied to the user's skin, the first arm 134 moves away from the bottom wall 112 and away from the bonding part of the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123. The first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 make contact and conduct under the action of elasticity, so that the switching circuit is closed and the monitoring device 10 is turned on.
[0123] In this embodiment, the first arm 134 and the first end 131 are integrally formed, and can be manufactured by injection molding. That is, the first arm 134 and the first end 131 are made of the same material and are both conductive. The surface of the first arm 134 that contacts the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 can be coated with a non-conductive coating or have an insulating film, such as a resin coating, polycarbonate, or epoxy resin, to achieve insulation and prevent the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 from conducting through the first arm 134.
[0124] Of course, in one implementation scenario of another embodiment, the first arm 134 can be made of metal and can be fixed to the first end 131 of the starting column 13 by welding or bonding. The surface of the first arm 134 is coated with an insulating material. In another implementation scenario of another embodiment, the first arm 134 can also be made of plastic and can be fixed to the first end 131 of the starting column 13 by bonding, screwing, or other methods.
[0125] Please see Figure 14 and Figure 17 , Figure 17 yes Figure 3 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the structure in another state.
[0126] The activation post 13 also includes a second arm 135, which is connected to the first end 131. The second arm 135 is spaced apart from the first arm 134. A notch B in the containment enclosure 1122 is used to avoid the second arm 135. The second arm 135 is used to transmit the temperature of the user's skin to the temperature sensor 127. It is understood that when the monitoring device 10 is worn on the user's skin, the second end 132 of the activation post 13 contacts the user's skin, and the temperature of the user's skin is transmitted through the second end 132 to the first end 131, then to the second arm 135, and finally to the temperature sensor 127 via the second arm 135.
[0127] Specifically, when the end face of the second end 132 of the starting post 13 is flush with the adhesive layer 15, the second arm 135 contacts the temperature sensor 127 through the thermally conductive medium 128. In this embodiment, the distance between the thermally conductive medium 128 and the second arm 135 is less than the distance by which the second end 132 protrudes relative to the adhesive layer 15.
[0128] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 14 and Figure 18 , Figure 18 yes Figure 4 The diagram shows the structure in another state.
[0129] The first end 131 of the start post 13 is provided with a hook 136. The hook 136 is located on the end face of the first end 131 facing away from the second end 132. During the movement of the start post 13 away from the bottom wall 112, the hook 136 passes through the clearance hole 126 of the circuit board 12 and abuts against the surface of the circuit board 12 facing the top wall 111. This can prevent the start post 13 from moving towards the skin during the user's movement, which would cause the first arm 134 to come into contact with the first conductive plate 122 and the second conductive plate 123 again, thus breaking the switch circuit.
[0130] In this embodiment, there are two hooks 136, which are arranged opposite each other to ensure that the starting column 13 is balanced and stably abuts against the circuit board 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of hooks 136 can be one or more. This application does not limit the number of hooks 136.
[0131] like Figure 4 and Figure 19 , Figure 19 yes Figure 4 A partially enlarged schematic diagram of the structure shown.
[0132] The hook 136 includes a bevel 1361, and the wall of the clearance hole 126 includes a bevel 1261 that mates with the bevel 1361 of the hook 136, so that the hook 136 can pass through the clearance hole 126. Both the bevel 1361 of the hook 136 and the bevel 1261 of the clearance hole 126 serve as guides, so that when the starting column 13 moves away from the bottom wall 112, the hook 136 can smoothly slide into and pass through the clearance hole 126. Of course, in other embodiments, the hook 136 includes a bevel 1361, but the wall of the clearance hole 126 does not include a bevel; or, the wall of the clearance hole 126 includes a bevel 1260, but the hook 136 does not include a bevel. Of course, the specific structures of the bevel 1361 of the hook 136 and the bevel 1261 of the clearance hole 126 are not limited to these. Figure 19 As shown, it is sufficient to ensure that the hook 136 can smoothly pass through the avoidance hole 126.
[0133] Of course, in other embodiments, the activation post 13 may not be equipped with a hook, and the body 121 of the circuit board 12 may be equipped with a snap-fit structure. It is understood that as the first arm 134 moves away from the bottom wall 112, the first arm 134 gradually approaches the body 121 of the circuit board 12. When the end face of the second end 132 of the activation post 13 is flush with the adhesive layer 15, the first arm 134 just moves to the snap-fit structure and is snapped and fixed by the snap-fit structure to prevent the activation post 13 from moving towards the skin during the user's movement, causing the first arm 134 to contact the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 again, causing the switch circuit to be disconnected.
[0134] like Figure 6 and Figure 20 , Figure 20 yes Figure 5 A partial structural schematic diagram of the analysis sensor 14 and circuit board 12 shown.
[0135] The analysis sensor 14 includes a connecting portion 141 and a sensing portion 142. The connecting portion 141 is electrically connected to the body 121 of the circuit board 12, and the sensing portion 142 extends from the inside of the housing 11 through the bottom wall 112 and out of the adhesive layer 15. When the monitoring device 10 is applied to the user's skin, the sensing portion 142 penetrates into the subcutaneous tissue to monitor the user's blood glucose concentration.
[0136] Please see Figure 21 and Figure 22 , Figure 21 yes Figure 3 A partial structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the monitoring device 10 shown. Figure 22 yes Figure 21 The diagram shows the structure in another state.
[0137] This embodiment and Figure 3The embodiments shown are largely the same, except that the structures of the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 and the way the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 are coupled with the starting post 13 are different in this embodiment.
[0138] Specifically, the second conductive sheet 123 is fixed to the body 121 of the circuit board 12 and is electrically connected to the body 121. The second conductive sheet 123 can be straight and entirely fixed to the body 121, or it can be non-straight and partially fixed to the body 121. The first conductive sheet 122 is elastic, with a portion of the first conductive sheet 122 fixed to the body 121 of the circuit board 12 and electrically connected to the body 121, and another portion spaced apart on the side of the second conductive sheet 123 facing away from the body 121.
[0139] When the second end 132 of the starting post 13 protrudes relative to the adhesive layer 15, the first support arm 134, the first conductive sheet 122, and the second conductive sheet 123 are arranged in sequence at intervals, and the switching circuit of the circuit board 12 is disconnected. When the end face of the second end 132 is flush with the adhesive layer 15, the first support arm 134 moves toward the first conductive sheet 122 and presses the first conductive sheet 122 into contact with the second conductive sheet 123. The first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 make contact and conduction, the switching circuit of the circuit board 12 is closed, and the monitoring device 10 is started.
[0140] In this embodiment, the first conductive sheet 122 maintains contact with the second conductive sheet 123 through the external force applied by the first support arm 134, compared to Figure 12 In the illustrated embodiment, the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 are kept in contact by the deformation force generated by deformation. In this embodiment, the first conductive sheet 122 and the second conductive sheet 123 can still remain in contact during violent movement, making the two conductive sheets less likely to separate and more effectively ensuring the normal operation of the monitoring device 10.
[0141] For example, such as Figure 21 and Figure 23 The first conductive sheet 122 includes a welding portion 1224, a bonding portion 1222, and a limiting portion 1225 connected in sequence. The welding portion 1224 is welded to the body 121 of the circuit board 12 and is electrically connected to the body 121. The bonding portion 1222 is used to contact and bond with the second conductive sheet 123 when the first support arm 134 presses against the first conductive sheet 122. The limiting portion 1225 is used to prevent the first conductive sheet 122 from detaching from the first support arm 134.
[0142] Please see Figure 24 , Figure 24 yes Figure 22 A schematic diagram of another embodiment of the structure shown.
[0143] This embodiment and Figure 21 The embodiments shown are largely the same, except that in this embodiment, the monitoring device 10 is turned on by the cooperation of the start button 18 and the start column 13.
[0144] Specifically, circuit board 12 includes a start button 18, which is fixedly and electrically connected to the body 121 of circuit board 12. When the monitoring device 10 is not yet applied to the user's skin, the first arm 134 of the start post 13 is spaced apart from the start button 18, and the switching circuit of circuit board 12 is disconnected. When the monitoring device 10 is applied to the user's skin, the end face of the second end 132 of the start post 13 is flush with the adhesive layer 15, the first arm 134 moves toward the start button 18 and presses against the start button 18, the switching circuit of circuit board 12 is closed, and the monitoring device 10 is activated.
[0145] In this embodiment, the monitoring device 10 is started by cooperating with the start post 13 and the start button 18. Compared with the method of cooperating with the start post 13 by the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet, it does not need to rely on the elasticity of the conductive sheet to achieve electrical conduction, which is more reliable than the conductive sheet.
[0146] Of course, in other embodiments, the activation post 13 can also cooperate with other structures besides the conductive sheet and the activation button 18 to enable the monitoring device 10 to be turned on. This application does not limit this.
[0147] The above are merely some embodiments and implementation methods of this application. The scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
