DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0021] Example 1: This example discloses a blood glucose meter with a test strip storage function, which is used to solve the problems that occur during the use of existing blood glucose meters.

[0022] like Figures 1-6As shown, the blood glucose meter with a test strip storage function includes a body 1, a holder 2 is installed on the right side of the body 1, and the holder 2 is provided with an insertion port. In this embodiment, the holder 2 is an existing device, and the holder 2 is electrically connected to the body 1. Its specific working process is no longer described in detail. The lower side of the right part of the body 1 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 3, and the connecting frame 3 is slidably connected to the storage shell 4. The lower side of the storage shell 4 is detachably connected to the bottom plate (the disassembly method is shown in the figure using sliding as an example), a tension spring is fixed between the storage shell 4 and the connecting frame 3, initially the upper side of the storage shell 4 is in contact with the lower side of the body 1, and the tension spring is in a stretched state, an outlet 72 is provided on the right side of the storage shell 4, a number of test strips 5 are stored in the storage shell 4, the holder 2 is used to fix the test strips 5 and transmit the detection signal to the body 1, and the storage shell 4 is inside. A moving block 6 is provided, and the moving block 6 is used to move the test paper 5 out of the discharge port 72. A push plate 7 is slidably connected to the storage shell 4, and the push plate 7 moves up and down along the storage shell 4. A first spring is provided between the push plate 7 and the bottom plate of the storage shell 4. The first spring is fixedly connected to the push plate 7 and contacts with the bottom plate of the storage shell 4. When the test paper 5 is stored in the storage shell 4, the first spring is in a compressed state. Two limit plates 71 symmetrically distributed front and back are fixedly connected to the storage shell 4. The limit plates 71 are used to limit the test paper 5. At the same time, the positions where the two limit plates 7 contact the test paper 5 are both in the middle of the test paper 5, so as to avoid the blood collection area on the test paper 5 from contacting the two limit plates 7 during the movement of the test paper 5, thereby ensuring the normal use of the test paper 5. A driving component for driving the moving block 6 to move is provided on the storage shell 4.

[0023] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the test paper 5 is in contact with both limit plates 71, the projection of the test paper 5 on the left side of the storage shell 4 is located within the projection of the discharge outlet 72 on that side, and the minimum distance between the test paper 5 and the push plate 7 is smaller than the minimum distance between the moving block 6 and the push plate 7, ensuring that the moving block 6 only drives the uppermost test paper 5 to move during the movement, ensuring that the uppermost test paper 5 can smoothly pass through the discharge outlet 72.

[0024] like Figure 2-Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the driving assembly includes a connecting shell 8 and a fixed column 9. The connecting shell 8 is slidably connected to the upper side of the storage shell 4. In the initial state, the connecting shell 8 is located on the left side of the storage shell 4. A limiting groove 81 for sliding of the connecting shell 8 is provided on the body 1. The limiting groove 81 is arc-shaped, and the central axis corresponding to the limiting groove 81 coincides with the rotation center of the connecting frame 3. The fixed column 9 is arranged in the connecting shell 8, and a sliding groove 10 for sliding of the fixed column 9 is provided on the storage shell 4, so that the fixed column 9 moves along the sliding groove 10. The fixed column 9 is slidably connected to the moving block 6, and the fixed column 9 drives the moving block 6 to move left and right relative to the storage shell 4.

[0025] In this embodiment, the fixing column 9 is fixedly connected to the connecting shell 8 .

[0026] Preparation stage: The user stores a certain amount of test paper 5 in the storage shell 4 in advance (moves the bottom plate of the storage shell 4 to the left to separate it from the storage shell 4, and after separation, takes out the push plate 7, and then puts a certain amount of test paper 5 into the storage shell 4. After putting it in, reinstalls the push plate 7 in the storage shell 4, and then compresses the first spring and moves the bottom plate of the storage shell 4 to its original position), so that the first spring on the lower side of the push plate 7 is in a stored force state, and at the same time, the upper side of the uppermost test paper 5 contacts the lower sides of the two limit plates 71.

[0027] Use phase: The user clockwise ( Figure 1 The connecting frame 3 is rotated 180° with the perspective of the top view as a reference. During the rotation process, the connecting frame 3 drives the storage shell 4 to rotate synchronously, and the storage shell 4 drives the connecting shell 8 to rotate synchronously along the limiting groove 81, so that the storage shell 4 is gradually separated from the body 1 (in this process, the connecting shell 8 is separated from the body 1 first). After the storage shell 4 is completely separated from the body 1, the storage shell 4 moves upward relative to the connecting frame 3 under the action of the tension spring thereon.

[0028] After the storage shell 4 moves upward to the limit position, the lower side surface of the uppermost test paper 5 is flush with the lower side of the insertion port of the holder 2. Then the user moves the connecting shell 8 to the left, and the connecting shell 8 drives the moving block 6 to move to the left synchronously, thereby driving the uppermost test paper 5 to move to the left synchronously, so that the uppermost test paper 5 is moved out from the discharge port 72 and finally inserted into the insertion port of the holder 2. The holder 2 fixes the uppermost test paper 5 thereon, and the user no longer needs to additionally correct the position of the test paper 5 and the insertion port of the holder 2. While shortening the fixing time, it also ensures that the test paper 5 can smoothly enter the insertion port of the holder 2, reducing the probability of damage to the test paper 5.

[0029] During the movement of the uppermost test paper 5, it gradually separates from the second test paper 5 on the upper side. When the uppermost test paper 5 is separated from the second test paper 5 on the upper side (the uppermost test paper 5 has entered the insertion port of the holder 2, but has not moved to the limit position), the remaining test paper 5 in the storage shell 4 moves upward synchronously with the push plate 7 under the action of the first spring until the second test paper 5 on the upper side contacts the lower side of the limit plate 71 (at this time, the upper side of the second test paper 5 on the upper side does not contact the lower side of the moving block 6), the push plate 7 no longer moves upward, and then the connecting shell 8 drives the uppermost test paper 5 to continue to move to the left. After the holder 2 completes the fixation of the uppermost test paper 5, the user moves the connecting shell 8 to the right, and the connecting shell 8 drives the moving block 6 to reset to the right relative to the storage shell 4.

[0030] After the connecting shell 8 is reset relative to the storage shell 4, the user presses the storage shell 4 downward, so that the tension spring on the storage shell 4 is stretched and stored during the downward movement, until the upper side of the storage shell 4 moves downward to be flush with the lower side of the body 1. The staff continues to rotate the connecting frame 3 clockwise to rotate the storage shell 4 to the initial position (during this process, the connecting shell 8 re-enters the limit groove 81). At this time, the upper side of the storage shell 4 is in contact with the lower side of the body 1, thereby increasing the sealing of the storage shell 4 for subsequent use. The user then performs blood sugar testing according to the normal steps, and after the test is completed, the used test strip 5 is discarded at the designated location.

[0031] Example 2: This example discloses a blood glucose meter with a test strip storage function. Based on Example 1, it also has a function of limiting and fixing the storage shell 4.

[0032] like Figure 5 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, a fixing assembly is also included. The fixing assembly is used to keep the position of the storage shell 4 stable when the test paper 5 needs to be installed. The fixing assembly is arranged on the storage shell 4. The fixing assembly includes a first movable plate 11, a driving rod 111, a connecting rod 12, a hinge frame 13 and a limit block 14. The first movable plate 11 is slidably connected to the storage shell 4. The first movable plate 11 slides up and down along the storage shell 4. The upper side of the fixed column 9 is fixed with a fixing plate. The fixing plate on the fixed column 9 is fixed with two driving rods 111 symmetrically distributed front and back. The two driving rods 111 are used to squeeze The first movable plate 11 is driven by the fixed column 9 to move synchronously with the two driving rods 111 during the downward movement, and the first movable plate 11 is squeezed by the two driving rods 111 and moves downward. Two through grooves symmetrically distributed front and back are provided on the storage shell 4. The driving rods 111 slide in the adjacent through grooves. The driving rods 111 can slide up and down along the adjacent through grooves and can also slide left and right. The connecting rod 12 is fixed to the lower side of the first movable plate 11. The connecting rod 12 is driven by the first movable plate 11 to move synchronously. The articulated frame 13 is installed on the lower side of the connecting rod 12. The articulated frame 1 3 is hinged by two front and rear support rods. The back sides of the two support rods of the articulated frame 13 are both rotated to connect the limit blocks 14. When the connecting frame 3 drives the storage shell 4 to rotate 180 degrees, and the tension spring between the two drives the storage shell 4 to stop moving upward, the upper side surfaces of the two limit blocks 14 are located above the connecting frame 3. The back sides of the two limit blocks 14 are both provided with inclined surfaces, and the distance between the inclined surfaces of the two limit blocks 14 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The articulated frame 13 drives the two limit blocks 14 to move synchronously. The limit blocks 14 pass through the storage shell 4 and are slidably connected thereto, so that the limit blocks 14 are moved synchronously. The block 14 can only slide back and forth on the storage shell 4. The limit block 14 is used to squeeze the connecting frame 3. When the distance between the two limit blocks 14 reaches the maximum, the inclined surfaces of the two limit blocks 14 are both located outside the storage shell 4, and the lower sides of the two limit blocks 14 are in contact with the connecting frame 3. A second spring is fixed between the limit block 14 and the storage shell 4 to drive the limit block 14 to reset. The fixed plate on the fixed column 9 slides in the connecting shell 8, so that the fixed column 9 moves up and down along the connecting shell 8. In the initial state, the fixed column 9 is located at the uppermost side of the connecting shell 8 and cannot continue to move upward.

[0033] like Figure 7As shown, the fixed column 9 is composed of two cylinders, wherein the diameter of the upper cylinder is smaller than the diameter of the lower cylinder, and the slide groove 10 is composed of a circular hole portion and a straight portion. The circular hole portion of the slide groove 10 is located on the left side of its straight portion, wherein the diameter of the circular hole portion of the slide groove 10 is equal to the diameter of the lower cylinder of the fixed column 9, and the width of the straight portion of the slide groove 10 is equal to the diameter of the upper cylinder of the fixed column 9. When the fixed column 9 moves downward to the extreme position, the cylinder on the upper side of the fixed column 9 is flush with the straight portion of the slide groove 10. At this time, the fixed column 9 can move left and right along the slide groove 10. At the same time, the straight portion of the slide groove 10 limits the fixed column 9, so that the fixed column 9 cannot move upward during the left and right movement.

[0034] like Figure 9 As shown, rolling balls are embedded on the lower sides of the two driving rods 111 to reduce the friction between the driving rods 111 and the first movable plate 11 .

[0035] After the storage shell 4 stops moving upward, when the user moves the connecting shell 8 to the left, the storage shell 4 may move downward due to an operational error, causing the uppermost test strip 5 to deviate from the insertion port of the holder 2, affecting the uppermost test strip 5 from entering the insertion port of the holder 2. To solve this problem, the present device performs the following operations: After the connecting frame 3 is rotated 180° and the storage shell 4 moves upward to the limit position relative to the connecting frame 3, the user presses the fixing column 9 downward (the storage shell 4 does not move downward along the connecting frame 3 during this process), so that the fixing column 9 moves downward along the circular hole portion of the slide groove 10, and at the same time moves downward along the connecting shell 8 until the fixing column 9 moves downward to the limit position. The user then moves the connecting shell 8 to the left. During this process, the small-diameter cylinder on the upper side of the fixing column 9 gradually enters the straight portion of the slide groove 10. After the small-diameter cylinder on the upper side of the fixing column 9 enters the straight portion of the slide groove 10, the upper side surface of the large-diameter cylinder on the lower side of the fixing column 9 fits against the storage shell 4, and the storage shell 4 limits the fixing column 9. The user no longer needs to maintain the position of the fixing column 9 in the vertical direction.

[0036] In the process of pressing the fixed column 9 downward, the fixed column 9 drives the two driving rods 111 to move downward synchronously, and the two driving rods 111 jointly squeeze the first movable plate 11, so that the first movable plate 11 moves downward synchronously. In the process of moving downward, the first movable plate 11 drives the connecting rod 12 to move downward, and the connecting rod 12 drives the articulated frame 13 to move downward, so that the two support rods of the articulated frame 13 respectively drive the adjacent limit blocks 14 away from each other, and at the same time, in the process of moving the limit block 14, the adjacent second spring is squeezed, so that the second spring is compressed and accumulates force.

[0037] During the movement of the limit block 14, the limit block 14 extends from the storage shell 4, and the inclined surface on the limit block 14 squeezes the connecting frame 3, causing the storage shell 4 to move upward again relative to the connecting frame 3 until the lower horizontal surface of the limit block 14 contacts the upper side of the connecting frame 3. The storage shell 4 no longer moves upward. At this time, the lower side of the test paper 5 located at the uppermost side of the storage shell 4 is flush with the insertion port of the holder 2, ensuring that the test paper 5 can smoothly enter the insertion port of the holder 2.

[0038] When the fixed post 9 moves downward to its limit position relative to the storage shell 4, the first movable plate 11 moves downward to its limit position, and the distance between the two limit blocks 14 increases to its maximum. The user then moves the connecting shell 8 to the left, and the connecting shell 8 drives the fixed post 9 and the two drive rods 111 to move synchronously. During the movement, the two drive rods 111 maintain the first movable plate 11 in its moved position, preventing the first movable plate 11 from returning to its original position. At the same time, the two limit blocks 14 jointly maintain the relative stability of the storage shell 4 and the connecting frame 3, preventing the storage shell 4 from moving downward along the connecting frame 3, thereby increasing the stability of the test strip 5 during movement, improving the integrity of the test strip 5, and ensuring the normal use of the test strip 5.

[0039] Then the user installs the uppermost test paper 5 on the holder 2 according to the above operation. After the installation is completed, the user resets the connecting shell 8 to the initial position relative to the storage shell 4. Then the two limit blocks 14 move respectively under the action of the adjacent second springs, so that the two limit blocks 14 approach each other and gradually separate from the connecting frame 3. At the same time, the opposite sides of the two limit blocks 14 respectively drive the adjacent support rods on the articulated frame 13 to move, reducing the distance between the two support rods on the back sides of the articulated frame 13, and increasing the height of the middle part of the articulated frame 13, and driving the two drive rods 111 to move upward synchronously, and the two drive rods 111 drive the fixing column 9 to move upward to the initial position relative to the connecting shell 8.

[0040] Example 3: This example discloses a blood glucose meter with a test strip storage function. Based on Example 2, it also has a function of adjusting the fixing force of the test strip 5.

[0041] like Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 10As shown, it also includes a fastening bolt 16, a second movable plate 17 and a clamping block 18. The fixture 2 is provided with a storage cavity. The fastening bolt 16 is rotatably connected to the fixture 2. The second movable plate 17 is threadedly connected to the fastening bolt 16. The fastening bolt 16 drives the second movable plate 17 to move up and down during the rotation process. The second movable plate 17 slides in the storage cavity of the fixture 2. The clamping block 18 is slidably connected to the storage cavity of the fixture 2. The test paper 5 is pressed and fixed by the clamping block 18. A third spring is fixed between the clamping block 18 and the second movable plate 17. The force provided by the third spring to the clamping block 18 is changed by changing the position of the second movable plate 17.

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, it also includes an extrusion rod 19 and a guide block 20. The extrusion rod 19 is fixed to the clamping block 18, and the clamping block 18 is driven by the extrusion rod 19 to move up and down. The extrusion rod 19 passes through the fixer 2 and the second movable plate 17 and is slidably connected to the two. The guide block 20 is fixed to the connecting frame 3. The upper side surface of the guide block 20 consists of an inclined surface and a horizontal surface, wherein the inclined surface is located on the left side. The inclined surface on the guide block 20 is used to squeeze the extrusion rod 19 during the rotation process, so that the extrusion rod 19 moves upward due to the extrusion force.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the guide block 20 is arc-shaped, and the central angle corresponding to the guide block 20 is greater than 180°, so that after the connecting frame 3 drives the guide block 20 to rotate 180°, the guide block 20 is still in contact with the squeezing rod 19, which facilitates the insertion of the test paper 5 into the holder 2.

[0044] During the rotation of the connecting frame 3, the connecting frame 3 drives the guide block 20 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation, the guide block 20 squeezes the extrusion rod 19 through the inclined surface thereon, causing the extrusion rod 19 to move upward, and then the extrusion rod 19 drives the clamping block 18 to move upward synchronously, thereby increasing the distance between the clamping block 18 and the lower side of the holder 2, reducing the resistance of the test paper 5 in the process of entering the holder 2, and reducing the probability of the test paper 5 being deformed due to excessive resistance during insertion, thereby ensuring its normal use.

[0045] After the test paper 5 is inserted into the holder 2, the user continues to rotate the connecting frame 3 according to the above operation, so that the connecting frame 3 drives the guide block 20 to continue to rotate. After the guide block 20 rotates to a position where it loses contact with the squeezing rod 19, the clamping block 18 drives the squeezing rod 19 to move downward synchronously under the action of the third spring, and the clamping block 18 clamps and fixes the test paper 5 in the holder 2 under the action of the third spring.

[0046] During the use of the holder 2, as the use time of the holder 2 gradually increases, the third spring on the clamping block 18 may experience elastic failure, thereby weakening the fixing force of the clamping block 18 on the test paper 5 located in the holder 2, causing the test paper 5 to shake during the detection process and affecting the accuracy of the test result. In this regard, the user can move the second movable plate 17 downward by rotating the fastening bolt 16, thereby changing the height of the uppermost side of the third spring, thereby increasing the fixing force of the clamping block 18 on the test paper 5 and extending the service life of the device.

[0047] Example 4: This example discloses a blood glucose meter with a test strip storage function. Based on Example 3, it also has a function of improving the sealing performance of the storage shell 4.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a sealing ring 21 is also included. The sealing ring 21 is fixed to the fixer 2. The outer peripheral surface of the sealing ring 21 is composed of an arcuate portion and a vertical portion, wherein the vertical portion is located on the right side. The right side of the storage shell 4 is composed of an arcuate portion and a vertical portion, wherein the arcuate portion is located on the upper side. The diameter of the circle where the arcuate portion of the sealing ring 21 is located is equal to the diameter of the circle where the arcuate portion of the storage shell 4 is located. When the arcuate portion of the storage shell 4 contacts the arcuate portion of the sealing ring 21, the outer ring surface of the sealing ring 21 blocks the discharge outlet 72. The minimum distance between the vertical surface of the sealing ring 21 and the rotation axis of the connecting frame 3 is equal to the minimum distance between the vertical surface of the storage shell 4 and the rotation axis of the connecting frame 3. When the connecting frame 3 rotates 180°, the vertical portion of the sealing ring 21 is coplanar with the vertical portion of the storage shell 4, and the vertical portion of the sealing ring 21 is used to limit the storage shell 4.

[0049] When the connecting frame 3 drives the storage shell 4 to rotate, the storage shell 4 is fitted with the arc-shaped part of the blocking ring 21, and the blocking ring 21 blocks the discharge port 72, thereby increasing the sealing of the internal environment of the storage shell 4 through the joint action of the machine body 1 and the blocking ring 21, ensuring that the test paper 5 in the storage shell 4 can be used normally. When the connecting frame 3 is rotated 180°, the arc-shaped part of the storage shell 4 is separated from the arc-shaped part of the blocking ring 21. At the same time, when the storage shell 4 moves upward, the vertical part of the storage shell 4 contacts the vertical part of the blocking ring 21, and the storage shell 4 is limited by the vertical part of the blocking ring 21, thereby maintaining the stability of the position of the storage shell 4 during the installation of the test paper 5, further ensuring the normal installation of the test paper 5. After the installation of the test paper 5 is completed, the user resets the connecting frame 3 according to the above operation and performs blood glucose testing. When the placement of the test paper 5 is completed, the storage shell 4 is moved down to separate the vertical part of the storage shell 4 from the vertical part of the blocking ring 21.

[0050] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed in the present application based on the technical solution and its improved ideas, which should be covered by the scope of protection of the present application.
