Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an accessory for a physiological parameter monitoring device, and more particularly to a disassembled accessory, accessory box, and disassembly method for a physiological parameter monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Controlling blood sugar is crucial for managing diabetes and reducing its complications. Regularly measuring blood sugar and understanding its trends is essential to ensuring that blood sugar levels remain safe and stable over the long term. In the last two decades, the most rapid development has been in implantable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems. These systems allow for real-time and continuous monitoring of the effects of insulin injections, medications, diet, and exercise on blood sugar levels throughout the day, thus providing more effective assistance in treatment and control.

[0003] The basic architecture of a continuous glucose monitoring system includes at least a sensor to measure the physiological signal corresponding to glucose concentration in the body, a transmitter to receive and transmit the physiological signal, and a base for mounting both on the skin. Because the sensor is implanted subcutaneously, it carries the risk of sensitization and needs to be replaced every one to two weeks, placing a financial burden on patients requiring long-term glucose monitoring. The transmitter, in particular, is more expensive to manufacture than the sensor and base, and the excessive use of disposable electronic components also causes environmental pollution, failing to meet corporate social responsibility requirements, i.e., ESG sustainability principles. Therefore, ideally, when the sensor reaches its critical point of use, the transmitter should be detachable from the base and reused.

[0004] Since continuous glucose monitoring systems must be worn by users for extended periods, miniaturization is an inevitable trend. One of the key areas for future development is how to adjust the configuration of the transmitter's internal components to better suit the miniaturized transmitter and its connection to the base. Simultaneously, once the entire device is miniaturized, another challenge is ensuring that users can easily detach and replace the transmitter from the base. Summary of the Invention

[0094] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0095] Before the invention is described in detail, it should be noted that similar components are represented by the same numbers in the following description.

[0096] Please see Figures 1 to 2 , Figure 1 This is an exploded perspective view of the physiological parameter monitoring device 1 of the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional view after assembly. As shown, the physiological parameter monitoring device 1 includes a base 101, a sensor 103 disposed on the base 101, and a detachable transmitter 102 covering the base 101. The base 101 has a base plate 104 for mounting on the skin of an organism, a perimeter wall 105 connected to the periphery of the base plate 104 and extending upward, two first engaging structures 106 protruding from a top surface 104' of the base plate 104, and two openings 107 respectively adjacent to the first engaging structures 106 and formed in the base plate 104. The sensor 103 is suitable for measuring at least one analyte in the organism and transmitting a corresponding physiological signal. When the transmitter 102 is placed on the base 101, it is electrically connected to the sensor 103 to receive and output the physiological signal. In one embodiment, the base 101 and the sensor 103 can be defined as a sensor kit, which is disposable in contrast to the transmitter 102, which is recyclable for reuse.

[0097] Specifically, the transmitter 102 has a base shell 109 and two second engaging structures 108 respectively disposed on the base shell 109 and capable of engaging with the corresponding first engaging structure 106. The base shell 109 faces the top surface 104' of the base plate 104 of the base 101. When the transmitter 102 is placed on the base 101 with the base shell 109 facing the top surface 104' of the base plate 104, the second engaging structures 108 engage with the first engaging structures 106.

[0098] Please see Figures 3 to 9 This is a first embodiment of the disassembly accessory 100 for the physiological parameter monitoring device of the present invention. The disassembly accessory 100 includes a base 10 and a cover 20. The base 10 has a chamber 13. The cover 20 is disposed on one side of the base 10 and can be in a closed state relative to the base 10 (see...). Figure 3 ) and an open state (see Figure 6 The cover 20 can switch between the two states, and has a button 23 and at least one pusher 24 actuated by the button 23. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the cover 20 is in the open state, the physiological parameter monitoring device 1 is placed in the chamber 13 with the transmitter 102 facing the chamber 13. Specifically, the base 10 and the cover 20 can be connected via a pivot 30.

[0099] See also Figure 8 and Figure 9 Further explanation is as follows: Figure 8 This is a planar sectional view of the first embodiment, and Figure 9 It is along Figure 8 The cross-sectional view taken along line IX-IX in the diagram. The base 10 specifically includes an upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12 connected to at least one side of the upper housing 11, and the chamber 13 is an accommodating space defined by the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12. More specifically, as... Figure 5 As shown, the upper housing 11 is in the shape of a hollow ring frame and has a top surface 111, a bottom surface 112 opposite to the top surface 111, a recessed portion 113 recessed from the top surface 111, a first receiving groove 114 opposite to the top surface 111 and disposed on one side of the recessed portion 113, a connecting hole 115 recessed from the bottom surface 112 and communicating with the first receiving groove 114, an upper shoulder surface 116 disposed at the junction of the recessed portion 113 and the first receiving groove 114, a lower shoulder surface 117 disposed between the first receiving groove 114 and the connecting hole 115, and a pair of pivot holes 118 located on the rear side of the upper housing 11.

[0100] The lower housing 12 has a pair of side walls 121, a front wall 122 connected to the side walls 121, a rear wall 123 connected to the side walls 121, a bottom wall 124 connected to the side walls 121, the front wall 122, and the rear wall 123, and a first opening 125 disposed in the bottom wall 124. The side walls 121, the front wall 122, the rear wall 123, and the bottom wall 124 together define a second receiving groove 126. Specifically, the receiving chamber 13 can be defined by the first receiving groove 114 and the second receiving groove 126. Furthermore, as... Figure 9 As shown, the lower shoulder surface 117, the connecting hole 115, and the bottom end surface 112 form a limiting structure A. That is, the limiting structure A can be disposed in the first receiving groove 114, thereby limiting the physiological parameter monitoring device 1 to be confined in the first receiving groove 114 when the physiological parameter monitoring device 1 is placed in the receiving chamber 13 with the transmitter 102 facing the receiving chamber 13.

[0101] The second receiving groove 126 communicates with the outside through the first opening 125. As Figure 8 shown, in this embodiment, the aperture of the first opening 125 is larger than the maximum cross-sectional area of the emitter 102, and is at least not smaller than the area of one bottom wall of the bottom shell 109 of the emitter 102. The first receiving groove 114 and the second receiving groove 126 are stacked along a first direction I.

[0102] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the cover body 20 further comprises an upper cover 21, a lower cover 22 covered with the upper cover 21, and an inner space 26 defined jointly by the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22. Specifically, the button 23 is mounted on the upper cover 21, the number of the pushing members 24 is two, and the pushing members 24 are connected to the button 23 and driven by the button 23. Furthermore, the cover body 20 further comprises a driving assembly 25 located in the inner space 26 and elastically abutted between the lower cover 22 and the button 23.

[0103] refer Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the upper cover 21 is in a hollow shell shape, and has a bottom portion 211 opposite to the top end surface 111, a top portion 212 opposite to the bottom portion 211, a through hole 213 provided on the top portion 212 and communicating with the inner space 26, and a pivot lug 214. The pivot shaft 30 passes through the pivot lug 214 and the pivot connection holes 118.

[0104] the lower cover 22 has a positioning ring 221 opposite to the through hole 213, and two sliding holes 222 respectively disposed on two sides of the positioning ring 221.

[0105] the button 23 is movably installed in the through hole 213 of the upper cover 21, and has a ring edge 231 that can be clamped and limited inside the inner space 26 of the upper cover 21, a positioning hole 232 corresponding to the positioning ring 221, and two insertion holes 233 respectively disposed on two sides of the positioning hole 232.

[0106] the pushing members 24 are located in the inner space 26, and can be linked by the button 23 to partially pass through the lower cover 22. The pushing members 24 are rod-shaped, respectively inserted into the insertion holes 233, and respectively slidably pass through the sliding holes 222.

[0107] The drive assembly 25 provides the elastic force that allows the button 23 to return to its original position after being operated. In this embodiment, the drive assembly 25 is a compression spring and is located in the internal space 26. The two opposite ends of the drive assembly 25 spring against the lower cover 22 and the button 23, and are respectively located outside the positioning ring 221 and inside the positioning hole 232.

[0108] In addition, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the base 10 also includes a rotation limiting member 14. Specifically, the lower housing 12 has a slot 127 located inside the rear wall 123, and the rotation limiting member 14 is disposed in the lower housing 12 through the slot 127. More specifically, the rotation limiting member 14 has a positioning section 141 inserted into the slot 127, and an upper stop section 142 connected to the positioning section 141 and protruding toward the upper housing 11. The rotation limiting member 14 is positioned on the base 10 and corresponds to the pivot 30. The upper cover 21 is provided with at least one clamping block 215 at the pivot lug 214, corresponding to the rotation limiting member 14. When the cover 20 is in the open state relative to the base 10, the clamping block 215 presses against the upper stop section 142. The rotation limiting member 14 interferes with the transition of the cover 20 from the open state to the closed state relative to the base 10, thereby preventing the cover 20 from shaking.

[0109] To further understand the effects of the combination of the components of this invention, the technical means employed, and the expected benefits, the following explanation will be provided, which will hopefully lead to a deeper and more specific understanding of this invention.

[0110] like Figure 3 As shown, the cover 20 is in the closed state.

[0111] The method for disassembling the physiological parameter monitoring device 1 includes the following steps:

[0112] Step 1: Cooperate with the participants Figures 1 to 9 A detachable fitting is provided, which includes at least the base 10 and the cover 20 as described above.

[0113] Step Two: Refer to the reference Figure 6 and Figure 13 The leftmost diagram shows a lifting action that causes the cover 20 to switch to the lifted state relative to the base 10.

[0114] Step 3: As Figure 6 and Figure 13 The second image from the left shows a placement action, in which the physiological parameter monitoring device 1 is placed in the chamber 13 with the transmitter 102 facing the chamber 13. (See also...) Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in step three, the transmitter 102 of the physiological parameter monitoring device 1 is oriented towards the chamber 13, and the physiological parameter monitoring device 1 is inserted into the chamber 13 along the first direction I. Because the enclosure 105 of the base 101 of the physiological parameter monitoring device 1 rests against the limiting structure A, the physiological parameter monitoring device 1 is limited and maintained within one area (i.e., the first receiving groove 114) of the chamber 13, thus achieving a limiting effect. The transmitter 102 is adjacent to another area of ​​the chamber 13 (i.e., the second receiving groove 126).

[0115] Step 4: As Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, a closing action is performed, causing the cover 20 to switch to the closed state relative to the base 10. It must be noted that the sensor 103 will bend due to the closing action of the cover 20, such as... Figure 8 As shown. Next, when the cover 20 is in the closed state, the button 23 can be operated to activate the pusher 24 to push the transmitter 102 along the first direction I through the opening 107 of the base 101 of the sensor kit, thereby separating the transmitter 102 from the sensor kit and allowing it to leave the base 10. Specifically, the button 23 is pressed along the first direction I to activate the pusher 24 to pass through the opening 107 along the first direction I, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0116] Step 5: As Figures 10 to 12 As shown, and Figure 13 From the second drawing from right to left, a disassembly action is performed, causing the pusher 24 to be activated along the first direction I through the opening 107 of the base 101 to push against the transmitter 102, thus separating the transmitter 102 from the sensor kit. The detailed operation instructions are as follows: [Operation is as follows...] Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the button 23, in conjunction with the pusher 24, slides along the sliding hole 222, allowing the pusher 24 to pass through the opening 107 (at this time, the drive assembly 25 is compressed and contains a release capability), thereby continuously pushing against the transmitter 102. Figure 12 As shown, when the button 23 is pressed further, the second engaging structure 108 disengages from the first engaging structure 106, and the transmitter 102 separates from the base 101. The base 101 remains engaged with the limiting structure A, while the transmitter 102 moves from the first receiving slot 114 to the second receiving slot 126. When the pressure on the button 23 is released, the release force of the drive assembly 25 allows it to return to its original position. After the transmitter 102 separates from the sensor kit, it moves to the second receiving slot 126.

[0117] like Figure 14 As shown, in a variation of the first embodiment, the lower housing 12 can be pivotally connected to one side of the upper housing 11 via the pivot 30. That is, the lower housing 12 with the second receiving groove 126 can also switch between a closed state and an open state relative to the upper housing 11 with the first receiving groove 114. When the lower housing 12 with the second receiving groove 126 is in the open state relative to the upper housing 11 with the first receiving groove 114, the transmitter 102 can be removed from the second receiving groove 126, thereby eliminating the need for the first opening 125. Furthermore, the pivot used to pivotally connect the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12 can also be integrated into the pivot 30 between the base 10 and the cover 20.

[0118] Step Six: Perform a retrieval operation to remove the transmitter 102 from the base 10 and recycle it for reuse. For example... Figure 13 The second image from the right shows that the transmitter 102 will fall out of the first opening 125, allowing the transmitter 102 to leave the base 10 through the first opening 125 and be recovered.

[0119] Step Seven: For example Figure 13 In the rightmost diagram, after opening the cover 20, the operator's fingers can apply force through the first opening 125 at the bottom of the disassembly accessory 100 to push the base 101 of the sensor kit upward, thereby removing the sensor kit from the disassembly accessory 100.

[0120] Therefore, when the sensor 103 reaches its critical usage point, the transmitter 102 can be easily detached from the base 101 and reused using the disassembly accessory 100 of the present invention. Because the transmitter 102 is more expensive to manufacture than the sensor 103 and the base 101, its reuse not only reduces environmental pollution but also meets corporate social responsibility requirements. Furthermore, allowing users to easily detach and replace the transmitter 102 from the base 101 also reduces their financial burden.

[0121] For example Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown, the second embodiment of the disassembly accessory 100 for the physiological parameter monitoring device of the present invention is largely the same as the first embodiment, also including a base 10 and a cover 20. The difference from the first embodiment is that the first opening 125 is located on the front wall 122 and communicates with the second receiving groove 126. When the cover 20 is closed, and the button 23 is operated (in accordance with the aforementioned operating instructions), the transmitter 102, which has been disassembled and fallen into the second receiving groove 126 along the first direction I, can then be moved out from the first opening 125 along a second direction II intersecting the first direction I. Therefore, the user only needs to slightly tilt the disassembly accessory 100 to easily pour out and retrieve the transmitter 102, further avoiding the risk of the transmitter 102 falling directly to the ground after separating from the sensor kit. Figure 17 As shown, in a variation of the second embodiment, the first opening 125 can also be provided on the rear wall 123 and connected to the second receiving groove 126.

[0122] For example Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the third embodiment of the disassembled accessory 100 for the physiological parameter monitoring device of the present invention is similar to the first embodiment, also including a base 10 and a cover 20, and Figure 16 Although the pusher component 24 is not visible, its cross-sectional view from another direction is essentially the same as... Figure 9 The difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment of the present invention is that the base 10 further has a second opening 128 disposed on the front wall 122 and communicating with the second receiving groove 126, and the first opening 125 is disposed on the bottom wall 124, the diameter of the first opening 125 being smaller than the maximum cross-sectional area of ​​the transmitter 102. When the cover 20 is closed, and the button 23 is operated (in accordance with the aforementioned operation instructions), the transmitter 102 is disassembled and falls into the second receiving groove 126, and can then be moved out from the second opening 128 along the second direction II. When the cover 20 is opened again, an external force (e.g., the operator's finger) can push the base 101 through the first opening 125, causing the base 101 and the sensor 103 disposed thereon to leave the base 10, thus pushing the base 101 and the sensor 103 disposed thereon out of the first receiving groove 114. In this way, the user can easily pour out the transmitter 102 for recycling by simply tilting the disassembled part 100, and can easily take out the sensor kit to be discarded from the base 10 through the first opening 125.

[0123] Please see Figure 20 and Figure 21 , Figure 20 This is a perspective assembly diagram of a fourth embodiment of the disassembled accessory 100' for the physiological parameter monitoring device of the present invention. Figure 21 For along Figure 20 The sectional view taken along line XXI-XXI in the figure. The disassembled accessory 100' includes a base 10' and a cover 20'.

[0124] First, such as Figure 20 As shown, the fourth embodiment of the present invention provides a detachable accessory 100' that differs from the first embodiment in that its cover 20' does not have a button. Specifically, as... Figure 21 As shown, the cover 20' has an upper cover 21', a lower cover 22' that closes with the upper cover 21', a pair of pushers 24', and a drive assembly 25'. The upper cover 21' has a top wall 211', and the top wall 211' has at least one flexible portion 212' (e.g., made of silicone through a two-element injection process). The pushers 24' are connected to the flexible portion 212', and the pushers 24' can be moved by the flexible portion 212' to push against the transmitter 102 along the first direction I through the opening 107, thereby separating the transmitter 102 from the sensor kit.

[0125] It is worth mentioning that, in addition to providing the soft portion 212' of the top cover 21' with elasticity to return to its original shape after being operated, the drive assembly 25' also serves to ensure the stability of the push member 24' as it steadily passes through the opening 107 of the sensor kit along the first direction I. In particular, when there is only one push member (not shown) and it is located at the center of the top cover, the drive assembly, by surrounding and supporting the push member, can further enhance the stability of the push member as it steadily passes through the opening 107 of the sensor kit along the first direction I.

[0126] For example Figures 22 to 24 As shown, the first embodiment of the accessory box 100 for the physiological parameter monitoring device of the present invention includes a base 10 and a cover 20.

[0127] The base 10” has a splitting unit 15” and a charging unit 16”. The splitting unit 15” has a chamber 13”, and the chamber 13” is defined by a first receiving groove 114” and a second receiving groove 126” that are interconnected. Specifically, the charging unit 16” is disposed on one side of the splitting unit 15” and has a charging slot 161” disposed on one side of the first receiving groove 114”, and the first opening 125” is connected to the second receiving groove 126 by the rear wall 123”. The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is only in the addition of the configuration of the charging unit 16”. Other detailed structures and functions are roughly the same as those in the above embodiment and will not be described in detail.

[0128] The cover 20” is pivotally mounted on one side of the base 10”, and its structure and function are similar to those of the first embodiment of the aforementioned disassembled accessory 100, and will not be described in detail here.

[0129] When the cover 20” is in the open state, the transmitter 102 of the other standby physiological parameter monitoring device 1 can be upright inserted into the charging slot 161” for charging. The other physiological parameter monitoring device 1 can be disassembled simultaneously in the compartment 13”. In addition, although not shown, the charging unit 16” may include a charging port for connecting to an external power source for charging via a cable. However, the present invention is not intended to be limited to this, and the charging unit 16” may also include a wireless charging unit (not shown) for wireless charging of the transmitter 102.

[0130] For example Figure 25 As shown, the second embodiment of the accessory box 100” for the physiological parameter monitoring device of the present invention is similar to the first embodiment of the accessory box described above. The only difference is that the opening area of ​​the charging slot 161” is larger and the depth is shallower, and it has an exposed charging terminal (not shown). The transmitter 102 of the physiological parameter monitoring device 1 can be placed flat in the charging slot 161” and electrically connected to the charging terminal for charging. Similarly, Figure 25 Although a Type-C charging port 17” is shown in the illustration, the charging slot 161” can also be charged wirelessly, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0131] Additionally, the accessory box 100” also includes an indicator unit 40”, which is disposed on an outer wall surface of the base 10” and coupled to the charging unit 16”, for the user to confirm the charging status of the transmitter 102 in the charging unit 16”. The indicator unit 40” can be an LED light.

[0132] Therefore, the first and second embodiments of the accessory box 100 for the physiological parameter monitoring device of the present invention have the functions of both a splitter and a charger, and integrate the splitter and the charger into one unit, which can achieve the purpose of convenient use and storage of the physiological parameter monitoring device 1.

[0133] For example Figure 26 As shown, in a third embodiment of the accessory box 100” for the physiological parameter monitoring device of the present invention, the cover 20” does not have a button. The upper cover 21” has a top wall 211”, and the top wall 211” has at least one flexible portion 212 (e.g., made of silicone through a two-material injection molding process). The push member 24” is connected to the flexible portion 212”, and the push member 24” can be moved by the flexible portion 212” to push against the transmitter 102, thereby separating the transmitter 102 from the sensor kit.

[0134] In summary, the disassembled parts and accessory box used in the physiological parameter monitoring device of the present invention have a simple overall structure, are easy to manufacture, assemble and operate, and can indeed achieve the purpose of the present invention.
