Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of blood glucose test strip storage technology, and more specifically, to a pop-up packaging box for blood glucose test strips to prevent oxidation. Background Technology

[0002] Blood glucose test strips are a key consumable for diabetic patients to self-monitor capillary whole blood glucose levels. They must be used in conjunction with a matching blood glucose meter and are suitable for daily blood glucose management. Their detection principle is based on the enzymatic reaction of glucose oxidase and peroxidase, achieving semi-quantitative measurement through colorimetry. When using them, ensure the ambient temperature is controlled between 18 and 35°C, and use fresh blood samples from the fingertip or earlobe; samples cannot be reused.

[0003] Currently, blood glucose test strips are widely used in various blood glucose testing scenarios, including hospitals and homes. Due to their inherent sensitivity to the environment, test strips need to be stored in a dry, clean, uncontaminated, and relatively sealed environment to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results. Although most manufacturers have adopted automatic dispensing test strip cartridge designs to avoid direct contact with other test strips during use, and equip the cartridge with desiccants and oxygen absorbers to maintain a low-humidity, low-oxygen environment, this design still has the following problems: During the removal of a single test strip, outside air inevitably enters the box. Because the box is internally interconnected, this air diffuses throughout the storage space, coming into contact with all remaining test strips. With repeated use, this repeated air intrusion cumulatively negatively impacts the storage environment of the last few test strips, potentially affecting their performance stability and measurement accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anti-oxidation pop-up packaging box for blood glucose test strips, which divides the interior of the box into two storage chambers through a cylindrical body, thereby solving the problem mentioned in the background art, namely, the problem that repeated air entry causes cumulative adverse effects on the storage environment of the last few test strips.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the blood glucose test strip anti-oxidation pop-up dispensing box includes a box body for storing test strips, with end caps symmetrically arranged at both ends of the box body, and spring clips and gas treatment agents arranged on the side walls of the end caps; the top of the box body is provided with an outlet and a sealing plate for sealing the outlet. The box body is provided with an ejection mechanism, which is located in the middle of the box body and is used to divide the interior of the box body into two symmetrically arranged storage chambers. The outlets are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the ejection mechanism and communicate with the corresponding storage chambers. The ejection mechanism includes a cylinder, inside which is an ejection plate that can move along the height direction of the test strip. The ejection plate can move to the bottom of the test strip to push the test strip out of the outlet. The cylinder and the box are rotatably connected. When the test strips in one of the storage chambers are used up, the cylinder is rotated to allow the ejector plate to enter the other storage chamber and eject the test strips.

[0006] Based on this, a piston chamber is formed inside the cylinder that communicates with the inside of the box. The ejector plate is located inside the piston chamber, and part of the ejector plate is in contact with the piston chamber to divide the piston chamber into two independent chambers. During the movement, the ejector plate drives the gas flow inside the box by changing the volume of the two independent chambers.

[0007] Based on this, the top end of the cylinder passes through the box body in a rotating manner, and the bottom end is rotatably connected to the bottom of the box body. The side wall of the cylinder body is provided with multiple air inlets communicating with the interior and a limiting groove located below the outlet. The limiting groove is connected to the inside of the cylinder, so that the pop-out plate extends into the limiting groove through the connecting part, thereby driving the test paper in the limiting groove to move upward.

[0008] Based on this, the bottom end of the pop-up plate is bent toward the test paper to form an "L" shape, and the top expands outward to form a piston plate whose outer ring fits into the inner ring of the cylinder. A pressure rod that slides through the cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the piston plate. The gas inlets are located above and below the piston plate. By moving the piston plate, the gas inside the cylinder exchanges with the gas inside the box through the gas inlets.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. In this blood glucose test strip anti-oxidation pop-up packaging box, the pop-up mechanism is rotated and set in the middle of the box body, so that the inside of the box body is isolated into two separate storage chambers by the pop-up mechanism. Thus, when the test strip in one storage chamber is taken out, the air entering will not affect the test strip in the other storage chamber.

[0010] 2. In this blood glucose test strip anti-oxidation pop-up packaging box, a piston chamber is independently set out inside the box through the set cylinder. When the pop-up plate pops out the test strip, it changes the volume of the piston chamber, forcing the gas in the piston chamber to exchange with the gas in the box, thereby making the gas in the box flow, so as to improve the speed of the desiccant and deoxidizer acting on the gas.

[0011] 3. The magnetic ring in the anti-oxidation pop-up dispensing box for blood glucose test strips allows the pop-up plate to move down and reset after the test strip is popped out. At this time, the pop-up plate can drive the gas flow in the box after the gas enters the box through the outlet, so as to further improve the uniformity of the gas in the box.

[0012] 4. In this blood glucose test strip anti-oxidation pop-up dispensing box, the limiting screw can limit the downward movement height of the pop-up plate, preventing the pop-up plate from moving down to the bottom of the test strip. The displacement is achieved by the collision between the protruding pressure rod and the object inside the box, thereby driving the flow of gas inside the box when the test strip is not in use.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0018] To address the problem of repeated air intrusion causing cumulative adverse effects on the storage environment of the last few blood glucose test strips (200), this invention provides an anti-oxidation pop-up dispensing box for blood glucose test strips. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the packaging box includes a box body 100 for storing test strips 200. The box body 100 is a rectangular tubular structure, the width of which corresponds to the width of the test strips 200, and the length is adaptably adjusted according to actual needs. During filling, multiple test strips 200 are sequentially inserted from the end cap 110, so that the inserted test strips 200 are perpendicular to the side wall of the box body 100 along its length. Next, an end cap 110 is provided at the end of the box body 100 (preferably using a snap-fit ​​fit, with a rubber ring at the connection for sealing). The side wall of the end cap 110 is provided with a spring 111 and a gas treatment agent 113. The spring 111 provides the power for moving the test strips 200 through its own elasticity. The gas treatment agent 113 is provided at the agent placement plate 112 on the side wall of the end cap 110. The gas treatment agent 113 includes at least two types: a desiccant and a deoxidizer, used for drying and deoxidizing the interior of the box body 100. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the desiccant and deoxidizer can be disposed above or below the spring 111, respectively.

[0019] The top of the box body 100 is provided with an outlet 101 and a sealing plate 102. The outlet 101 is located on top of the test strip 200, and the length and width of the outlet 101 are slightly larger than (0.5mm-2mm) the test strip 200 to facilitate the ejection of the test strip 200. The sealing plate 102 is slidably disposed on the top of the box body 100. When the test strip 200 needs to be removed, the sliding sealing plate 102 disengages from the outlet 101 to open the outlet 101. Conversely, the sliding sealing plate 102 moves above the outlet 101 to close the outlet 101.

[0020] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 The box body 100 is internally provided with a pop-out mechanism 120, which is located in the middle of the box body 100. The pop-out mechanism 120 divides the interior of the box body 100 into two symmetrically arranged storage chambers. The outlets 101 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pop-out mechanism 120 and communicate with the corresponding storage chambers. The pop-out mechanism 120 includes a cylinder 121, inside which is a pop-out plate 133 that can move along the height direction of the test strip 200. The pop-out plate 133 can move to the bottom of the test strip 200 to push the test strip 200 out of the outlet 101. The cylinder 121 is rotatably connected to the box 100. When the test strips 200 in one of the storage chambers are used up, the cylinder 121 is rotated so that the ejector plate 133 enters the other storage chamber to eject the test strips 200.

[0021] In other words, by rotating the pop-out mechanism 120 to the middle of the box body 100, the inside of the box body is isolated into two separate storage chambers by the pop-out mechanism 120, so that when the test strip 200 in one storage chamber is taken out, the air entering will not affect the test strip 200 in the other storage chamber.

[0022] Furthermore, a piston chamber is formed inside the cylinder 121, communicating with the interior of the box 100. The ejector plate 133 is located within this piston chamber, and a portion of the ejector plate 133 is in contact with the piston chamber, dividing it into two independent chambers. During its movement, the ejector plate 133 changes the volume of the two independent chambers, driving gas flow within the box 100. This gas flow allows it to contact the desiccant and oxygen absorber, thereby reducing uneven oxygen concentration and humidity distribution in localized areas within the box 100.

[0023] In this way, by setting the cylinder 121 to create an independent piston chamber inside the box 100, the ejector plate 133 changes the volume of the piston chamber during the ejection of the test paper 200, forcing the gas in the piston chamber to exchange with the gas in the box 100, thereby increasing the flow of gas in the box 100 and improving the speed at which the desiccant and deoxidizer act on the gas.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the top end of the cylinder 121 rotatably passes through the box 100, and the bottom end is rotatably connected to the bottom of the box 100. The side wall of the cylinder 121 is provided with multiple air inlets 124 communicating with the interior. A limiting groove 122 is provided on one side of the cylinder 121. The bottom height of the limiting groove 122 is the same as the bottom height of the test strip 200, allowing the test strip 200 to move into the limiting groove 122. The limiting groove 122 is located below the outlet 101, and the width of the limiting groove 122 corresponds to the width of the test strip 200. This design limits the displacement of the test strip 200 within the limiting groove 122, preventing misalignment with the outlet 101. Next, in this example, a through-hole 123 is provided on the side wall of the limiting groove 122 to communicate with the interior of the cylinder 121. In this way, the ejector plate 133 can extend into the limiting groove 122 through the through-hole 123, thereby driving the test strip 200 within the limiting groove 122 to move upwards.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom end of the pop-up plate 133 is bent towards the test paper 200 to form an "L" shape. The bent end of the pop-up plate 133 extends into the limiting groove 122 through the through-hole 123, and the length of the extension is less than the thickness of a single test paper 200 to prevent multiple test papers 200 from being pushed at the same time. Furthermore, the top of the pop-up plate 133 expands outward to form a piston plate 130. The outer ring of the piston plate 130 fits against the inner ring of the cylinder 121 to separate the upper and lower parts of the piston chamber. Next, a pressure rod 131 that slides through the cylinder 121 is fixedly installed on the top of the piston plate 130. The pressure rod 131 is external, and people can control the pop-up plate 133 to move up and down through the pressure rod 131. The gas inlets 124 are distributed above and below the piston plate 130. Therefore, when the piston plate 130 moves, the gas in the cylinder 121 is discharged into the box 100 through the gas inlets 124.

[0026] However, since the outer ring of the cylinder 121 and the side wall of the test paper 200 are both in contact with the inner wall of the box 100, gas flow is relatively difficult. To address this problem, the present invention provides a gas delivery groove 125 on the outer ring of the cylinder 121 (see reference). Figure 3 and Figure 5 On the other hand, multiple air guide grooves 103 are provided on the inner wall of the box 100 (see reference). Figure 2 and Figure 5 Therefore, by using the gas delivery channel 125 and the gas guide channel 103, the flow space of the gas is increased, thereby improving the gas flowability.

[0027] Furthermore, when the ejection mechanism 120 is positioned in the middle of the test strip 200, it can... Figure 5As shown in the diagram, the gas delivery channel 125 is located on the right side of the cylinder 121. At this point, the gas discharged through the gas outlet 124 will only flow to the right and enter the right-side space of the box 100. In other words, the gas delivery channel 125 is only located in a portion of the cylinder 121, not around the entire circumference of the cylinder 121. With this design, after the test strips 200 in the right-side space of the box 100 are used up, rotating the cylinder 121 180 degrees will connect the gas delivery channel 125 to the left-side space of the box 100.

[0028] Furthermore, by setting a reset spring 132 between the top of the piston plate 130 and the top of the cylinder 121, the ejector plate 133 can be reset by moving upwards. At this time, people only need to press down the pressure rod 131 to make the ejector plate 133 be at the bottom of the test paper 200.

[0029] The working principle of this invention will be described in detail below: First, under the elastic force of the spring 111, the test paper 200 is pushed into the limiting groove 122. Then, the pressing rod 131 is pressed down, which causes the piston plate 130 and the ejector plate 133 to move down. After the ejector plate 133 moves down to the bottom of the test paper 200, the return spring 132 rebounds, causing the piston plate 130 and the ejector plate 133 to move up. The ejector plate 133 moves up, causing the test paper 200 to move upward and then extend out of the outlet 101. At this time, the test paper 200 can be taken out. In the above process, the piston plate 130 moves down and squeezes the gas in the cylinder 121 into the box 100 through the lower air inlet 124, and the gas in the box 100 is drawn into the cylinder 121 through the upper air inlet 124, thereby realizing the flow of gas in the box 100. When the test strips 200 in one of the storage chambers are used up, the cylinder 121 is rotated 180 degrees. The cylinder 121 then rotates the ejector plate 133 180 degrees, so that the ejector plate 133 is below the other storage chamber 101. At this time, the test strips 200 in the other storage chamber can be ejected.

[0030] Furthermore, the dispensing box of the present invention also includes a limiting structure, which is used to restrict the displacement of the piston plate 130 after the test strip 200 is removed, so as to drive the gas flow inside the box body 100. Specifically: exist Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the top of the cylinder 121 is provided with a magnetic ring 134 that magnetically engages with the pressure rod 131, and the magnetic force of the magnetic ring 134 is greater than the elastic force of the return spring 132.

[0031] refer to Figure 6The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: In the initial state, the pressure rod 131 is magnetically attracted to the magnetic ring 134. Therefore, when the test strip 200 is removed, the pressure rod 131 extends to a longer length. Pressing the pressure rod 131 downwards causes the piston plate 130 and the ejector plate 133 to move downwards. During the downward movement of the piston plate 130, the gas inside the box 100 flows, causing the gas that has just entered the box 100 to flow rapidly. After the pressure rod 131 is magnetically attracted to the magnetic ring 134, the pressure rod 131 will not return to its original position. When it is necessary to remove the test strip 200 again, only an external force away from the magnetic ring 134 needs to be applied to the pressure rod 131. At this time, the return spring 132 will drive the piston plate 130 and the ejector plate 133 to move upwards and return to their original positions.

[0032] Therefore, the magnetic ring 134 provided in this embodiment enables the pop-up plate 133 to move down and reset after the test paper 200 is popped out, and the pop-up plate 133 also has a pressing rod 131 to move the pop-up plate 133 down. At this time, the pop-up plate 133 can drive the gas flow in the box 100 after the gas enters the box 100 through the outlet 101, so as to further improve the uniformity of the gas in the box 100.

[0033] exist Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, a limiting screw 140 is threaded to the bottom of the box 100. The limiting screw 140 is located below the pop-out plate 133 and is used to limit the downward movement height of the pop-out plate 133.

[0034] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the limiting screw 140 extends into the cylinder 121, it restricts the downward movement height of the ejector plate 133, making the bottom height H1 of the bent end of the ejector plate 133 higher than the bottom height H2 of the test strip 200. At this time, the test strip 200 will not enter the limiting groove 122. Then, the box 100 is placed in a bag. Since the pressure rod 131 extends a long distance, when the bag is shaken, the objects in the bag are likely to collide with the pressure rod 131. After the collision, the pressure rod 131 will drive the piston plate 130 and the ejector plate 133 to move. The movement of the ejector plate 133 will drive the gas flow in the box 100. However, the ejector plate 133 is restricted by the limiting screw 140, so it will not move to the bottom of the ejector mechanism 120 in this state, nor will it push the ejector mechanism 120 up.

[0035] In summary, the limiting screw 140 provided in this embodiment can limit the downward movement height of the pop-up plate 133, preventing the pop-up plate 133 from moving down to the bottom of the test strip 200. Thus, displacement is achieved by utilizing the collision between the protruding pressure rod 131 and the object inside the package, thereby driving the flow of gas inside the box 100 when the test strip 200 is not in use.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
