Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of blood glucose test strip storage, and particularly relates to a convenient blood glucose test strip storage box. Background Technology

[0002] Blood glucose meter test strips are essential consumables for diabetic patients to self-monitor glucose concentration in capillary whole blood. They need to be used in conjunction with a blood glucose meter and are suitable for daily blood glucose management. Based on the chemical reaction of glucose oxidase and peroxidase, they provide semi-quantitative results through colorimetric methods.

[0003] In existing technologies, blood glucose meter test strips are typically packaged and stored in multiple-strip collection boxes. These boxes are simple in structure and inexpensive, making them the mainstream product on the market. However, in actual use, users need to tilt the box to slide the test strips out from the dispensing nozzle. Due to the small size and thin texture of the test strips, and the irregular stacking of multiple strips inside the box, it is easy for multiple strips to slide out at once. During the pouring and sorting process, the reaction sensing area of ​​the excess test strips inevitably comes into contact with the skin of the hands, the table, or other test strip surfaces, causing dust, sweat, and other contaminants to adhere, or causing wear on the coating of the sensing area. This can disrupt the stability of the enzymatic reaction, interfere with the accuracy of the colorimetric signal, and ultimately affect the reliability of the blood glucose test results.

[0004] Based on this, a convenient blood glucose test strip storage box that can solve the above problems is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a convenient blood glucose test strip storage box, aiming to solve the problem that in the existing technology, blood glucose meter test strips are usually packaged and stored in multiple-piece collection boxes.

[0018] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0019] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0020] This invention provides a convenient storage box for blood glucose test strips, such as... Figures 1-10As shown, it includes: a main box body 1, which is injection molded from food-grade ABS material to ensure structural strength and is non-toxic and harmless. The main box body 1 is provided with a placement slot 3 for placing multiple test strip bodies 2. The multiple test strip bodies 2 are stacked one by one in the placement slot 3. A dispensing block 4 is set inside the main box body 1 and has a dispensing slot 5 for placing one test strip body 2. The dispensing block 4 is connected to the main box body 1 through a dispensing unit. The dispensing unit is used to control the dispensing block 4 to output only one test strip body 2 at a time. The dispensing unit includes: a pressing block 6, which is set inside the main box body 1 and is connected to the main box body 1 through a first connecting unit. The lower end of the pressing block 6 is provided with a first inclined surface 7, and the side of the dispensing block 4 that contacts the pressing block 6 is provided with a second inclined surface 8. The dispensing block 4 is connected to the main box body 1 through a second connecting unit.

[0021] A placement groove 3 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the main box 1. The size of the placement groove 3 is adapted to the size of the test strip body 2, ensuring that multiple test strip bodies 2 can be stacked vertically in the placement groove 3 to avoid lateral displacement of the test strips. The dispensing block 4 is made of rigid plastic and its shape is adapted to the inner cavity of the main box 1, allowing it to slide horizontally within the main box 1. The dispensing groove 5 on the dispensing block 4 is sized to accommodate only one test strip body 2. That is, the length and width of the dispensing groove 5 match that of a single test strip body 2, and its thickness is slightly greater than that of the test strip body 2.

[0022] In the initial state, under the elastic force of the first and second connecting units, the pressing block 6 is in the upper position, and the dispensing block 4 is in the initial position close to the placement groove 3. At this time, the bottom test strip body 2 in the placement groove 3 falls into the dispensing groove 5 of the dispensing block 4. When the user needs to take the test strip, press down on the pressing block 6. The pressing block 6 moves downward along the guide direction of the first connecting unit. The first inclined surface 7 at its lower end contacts the second inclined surface 8 of the dispensing block 4 and generates a horizontal thrust, pushing the dispensing block 4 to move towards the dispensing outlet side of the main box 1 along the guide direction of the second connecting unit. When the dispensing block 4 moves to the dispensing outlet position, the dispensing groove 5 is aligned with the dispensing outlet. At this time, the user can take out a single test strip from the dispensing groove 5 from the dispensing outlet. After the paper is taken out, the lower pressure block 6 is released. Under the elastic force of the first connecting unit, the lower pressure block 6 returns to its original position. At the same time, under the elastic force of the second connecting unit, the discharge block 4 returns to the side of the placement slot 3, waiting for the next paper to be taken out, so as to realize the orderly discharge of single paper at a time.

[0023] The main box 1 is equipped with multiple feeding blocks 9, which together form a placement groove 3. Each feeding block 9 has a third inclined surface 10. When adding test strips into the placement groove 3, the flared structure formed by the third inclined surface 10 can act as a guide, making it easy for users to quickly pour test strips into the placement groove 3 in batches and preventing test strips from getting stuck at the entrance of the placement groove 3 during the addition process. At the same time, the placement groove 3 enclosed by two feeding blocks 9 is precisely sized, which can limit the lateral displacement of the test strips and ensure that the test strips are always stacked in an orderly manner in the vertical direction, thus ensuring that they fall accurately into the discharge groove 5 laterally.

[0024] The test strip body 2 is provided with a detection pin 11, which is used to connect to external testing equipment. The test strip body 2 is provided with a sensing area 12, which is used to sense the user's blood. A limiting rod 13 that cooperates with the detection pin 11 is fixedly connected to the feed block 9. The limiting rod 13 can limit the detection pin 11 of the test strip body 2, preventing the test strips from stacking in the placement groove 3 or from shifting longitudinally during the discharge process, ensuring that the sensing area 12 of the test strip body 2 is always unobstructed and does not come into contact with other structures. At the same time, the rubber limiting rod 13 can buffer the impact force when the test strips are stacked, protect the detection pin 11 from damage, and further ensure the detection performance of the test strip.

[0025] The first connecting unit includes a first connecting block 14 fixedly connected to the side of the lower pressing block 6. A first snap-fit ​​groove 15 is formed inside the first connecting block 14. A first connecting rod 16 is fixedly connected inside the main housing 1, and the first connecting rod 16 is inserted into the first snap-fit ​​groove 15. A first snap-fit ​​plate 17 is fixedly connected to the end of the first connecting rod 16. The first snap-fit ​​plate 17 is connected to the first snap-fit ​​groove 15 via a first spring 18 that provides elastic force. When the user presses down on the lower pressing block 6, the lower pressing block 6 causes the first connecting block 14 to move downwards. The first connecting block 14 slides downwards along the first connecting rod 16, simultaneously compressing the first spring 18 (which stores elastic potential energy). When the user releases the lower pressing block 6, the first spring 18 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the first connecting block 14 upwards, thereby causing the lower pressing block 6 to return to its initial position. This structure achieves stable guidance and automatic reset of the lower pressing block 6, ensuring the stable cyclic operation of the discharge unit.

[0026] The second connecting unit includes a first guide rod 19 fixedly connected inside the main box 1, and a guide block 20 fixedly connected to the side of the discharge block 4. The first guide rod 19 passes through the guide block 20, and the side of the guide block 20 is connected to the inner wall of the main box 1 through a second spring 21 for providing elastic force. When the pressing block 6 moves downward and pushes the discharge block 4 through the inclined surface, the discharge block 4 drives the guide block 20 to slide along the first guide rod 19 towards the dispensing outlet, while compressing the second spring 21. When the pressing block 6 resets, the second spring 21 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the guide block 20 to reset the discharge block 4 towards the placement slot 3, ensuring that the discharge slot 5 can accurately align with the bottom of the placement slot 3 again to receive the next test paper. This structure achieves stable horizontal movement and automatic reset of the discharge block 4, ensuring the continuity of single-paper dispensing.

[0027] A wobbling unit is provided between the feed block 9 and the main box 1.

[0028] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 The shaking unit includes multiple symmetrically arranged second connecting blocks 22 fixedly connected to both sides of the lower pressing block 6. Each second connecting block 22 has a symmetrically arranged fourth inclined surface 23. Second locking slots 24 are opened in the feed blocks 9 on both sides. Insert rods 25 are fixedly connected inside the main housing 1. The insert rods 25 are connected to the second locking slots 24 via third springs 26 that provide elasticity. Shaking rods 38 are fixedly connected to the sides of the feed blocks 9 on both sides. When the user presses down on the lower pressing block 6, the lower pressing block 6 drives the two... The second connecting block 22 on the side moves downward, and the fourth inclined surface 23 of the second connecting block 22 contacts the upper end of the feeding block 9 and generates a horizontal thrust, pushing the feeding blocks 9 on both sides to move outward. When the user releases the pressing block 6 and the pressing block 6 returns to its original position, the thrust of the second connecting block 22 on the feeding block 9 disappears. Under the action of the elastic potential energy of the third spring 26, the feeding blocks 9 on both sides return to their original position and move closer to each other. During this process, the feeding block 9 causes the test paper in the placement slot 3 to shake slightly. This shaking can prevent the test paper from getting stuck due to static electricity or slight adhesion, ensuring that the test paper at the bottom of the placement slot 3 can fall smoothly into the discharge slot 5. In addition, if the test paper gets stuck severely, the user can manually push the shaking rod 38 on the outside of the main box 1 to shake the feeding block 9 and further solve the problem of getting stuck.

[0029] The discharge block 4 is equipped with a top material unit for easy discharge.

[0030] Combination Figure 9 and Figure 10The top-feeding unit includes a through slot 27 on the discharge block 4, a top-feeding block 28 disposed within the through slot 27, a second connecting rod 29 fixedly connected to the side of the top-feeding block 28, a third locking slot 30 for the second connecting rod 29 to move within the discharge block 4, a moving block 31 disposed within the discharge block 4, a moving slot 32 for the moving block 31 to move within the discharge block 4, second connecting plates 36 fixedly connected to both sides of the moving block 31, a fourth locking slot 34 disposed within the moving slot 32, a second guide rod 35 fixedly connected within the fourth locking slot 34, the second guide rod 35 passing through the second connecting plate 36, and the side of the second connecting plate 36 connected to the fourth connecting plate 36 by a fourth spring 37 for providing elasticity. The contact groove 34 connects the test strips. When the dispensing block 4 moves to the designated position in the dispensing direction, one end of the moving block 31 contacts and is blocked by the inner wall of the main box 1. As the dispensing block 4 continues to move, the moving block 31 moves relative to the dispensing block 4 into the moving groove 32. The inclined surface at the upper end of the moving block 31 contacts the lower end of the top material block 28 and generates an upward thrust, pushing the top material block 28 upward along the third contact groove 30. The upper end of the top material block 28 lifts the test strip in the dispensing groove 5 upward. When the dispensing block 4 resets, the moving block 31 is no longer blocked by the main box 1 and resets under the elastic potential energy of the fourth spring 37. The top material block 28 resets downward under its own gravity, returning to the initial position. This structure realizes the automatic lifting of the test strip, solves the problem of difficulty in picking up the test strip caused by the test strip being too tightly attached to the dispensing groove 5, and further improves the convenience of picking up the test strip.

[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
