Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a container for storing materials, and more particularly to a portable blood glucose testing kit for storing blood glucose testing supplies. Background Technology

[0002] Diabetes, as a chronic disease, requires patients to regularly monitor their blood glucose levels. The common method is to use a blood glucose meter. This requires lancets, a lancing device, blood glucose test strips (hereinafter referred to as test strips), cotton swabs, and iodine disinfectant. Due to the large number of items needed, these are usually placed together in a test kit for easy access. Existing test kits have a simple structure, with only a few internal compartments. Examples include a portable blood glucose testing box disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN201620568875.6 and a blood glucose testing box disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN202121086980.3. While this design allows for categorized storage, it is still inconvenient to retrieve test strips. Furthermore, test strips last longer in a dry environment, and ordinary test kits cannot isolate moisture. Therefore, this invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a portable blood glucose testing kit that can hold blood glucose testing items and facilitates the use of test strips.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A portable blood glucose testing kit includes a lower box body and an upper box body rotatably connected to the lower box body. The lower box body has a test strip storage unit for storing test strips and includes a test strip access port. The kit is characterized by:

[0006] The test strip storage unit is equipped with a test strip compression device and a test strip output device;

[0007] The test strip compression device is used to squeeze the test strip toward the test strip output device so that the test strip is in close contact with the test strip output device;

[0008] The test strip output device includes a first housing, which has an opening on the side near the test strip access port and multiple sets of rollers installed at the opening. The multiple sets of rollers are connected to a first drive device via a rotating shaft. The rolling surfaces of the multiple sets of rollers protrude at least partially from the surface of the first housing and contact the test strip. The first housing contains an electronic control board and a power supply device connected to the first drive device.

[0009] Furthermore, the test strip storage unit includes two side plates and a top plate. The top plate is slidably connected to the side plates of the test strip storage unit. The top plate and side plates of the test strip storage unit together with the first box body form the test strip access port. Adjusting the position of the top plate can adjust the size of the test strip access port.

[0010] Furthermore, the test strip compression device includes a slider installed in the test strip storage unit, a spring with one end abutting against the slider and the other end abutting against the inner wall of the test strip storage unit, the spring being used to apply force to the slider, causing the slider to squeeze the test strip and move it toward the test strip output device.

[0011] Furthermore, a strip-shaped hole is provided on the top plate, and one end of the slider extends into the strip-shaped hole and slides in cooperation with the strip-shaped hole. A contact switch is also provided in the strip-shaped hole and at the end near the test strip storage port. The contact switch is electrically connected to the electronic control board of the test strip output device. An indicator light is also provided on the first box and is electrically connected to the electronic control board. When the contact switch is triggered, the indicator light is lit.

[0012] Furthermore, an infrared sensor is provided on the side of the first box near the test strip storage port. The infrared sensor is positioned higher than the test strip and is electrically connected to the electronic control board.

[0013] Furthermore, a drying device is detachably mounted on the upper box.

[0014] Furthermore, the drying device includes a second box, a rotating wheel installed inside the second box, a second driving device for driving the rotating wheel to rotate, the rotating wheel having multiple breathable receiving cavities and containing regenerable desiccant, and a heating device inside the second box for heating the desiccant inside the rotating wheel to regenerate it;

[0015] The upper box and the second box are respectively provided with multiple ventilation holes. The ventilation holes of the upper box and the lower box are staggered, and the ventilation holes of the upper box are directly facing the heating device.

[0016] Furthermore, the rotating wheel is mounted on a support shaft. The support shaft has a magnet at one end near the upper box and is fixed to the upper box by magnetic attraction. The other end of the support shaft passes through the second box and forms an annular flange at the end. The annular flange is engaged with the second box to fix the second box to the upper box.

[0017] Furthermore, a toothed surface is formed on the outer circumference of the wheel, and the second driving device is connected to a gear, which meshes with the toothed surface of the wheel.

[0018] Furthermore, the lower box is provided with multiple partition cavities, and at least one partition cavity is used to place a lancing device, at least one partition cavity is used to place a blood glucose meter, at least one partition cavity is used to place a lancing needle, at least one partition cavity is used to place disinfectant, and at least one partition cavity is used to place cotton swabs.

[0020] The following beneficial effects are achieved by adopting the technical solution described in this invention:

[0021] 1. The present invention has a dedicated test strip storage unit for placing test strips. It can not only organize and store test strips, but also automatically output individual test strips, making it convenient for people to take them. When the number of test strips is small, an indicator light can remind people to add test strips.

[0022] 2. The present invention also includes a separate detachable drying device. When used in a relatively humid environment, the drying device can dry the test box, keeping the humidity inside the test box within a small range. This can effectively extend the shelf life of the test strip and prevent the test strip from being damaged by moisture.

[0023] 3. By setting up multiple partition cavities, the present invention can place different blood collection items separately, achieving the purpose of classified placement. This prevents confusion during use and makes it more convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a portable blood glucose testing kit 1 includes a lower box body 11 and an upper box body 12, which are rotatably connected by a hinge. A test strip storage unit 13 is provided on the lower box body 11 for storing test strips 7 and has a test strip access port 130. The test strip storage unit 13 has a test strip storage cavity, and a test strip compression device and a test strip output device are provided within the test strip storage unit 13. The test strip compression device is used to squeeze the test strip 7 towards the test strip output device to ensure close contact between the test strip 7 and the test strip output device.

[0039] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the test strip output device includes a first housing 131. The first housing 131 has an opening on the side near the test strip storage port 130, and multiple sets of rollers 132 are installed at the opening. The multiple sets of rollers 132 are connected to a first driving device 133 through a rotating shaft. The rolling surfaces of the multiple sets of rollers 132 protrude at least partially from the surface of the first housing 131 and contact the test strip 7. Preferably, the first driving device 133 is a stepper motor. An electronic control board and a power supply device connected to the first driving device 133 are provided inside the first housing 131.

[0040] Preferably, a rubber ring with high friction is provided on the surface of the roller 132. When the roller 132 rotates counterclockwise ( Figure 5 When the test strip 7 rotates (in the direction of the middle arrow), it will drive the test strip 7 to move upward. The electronic control board is used to send control signals to the first drive device 133. After receiving the control signal, the first drive device 133 drives the roller 132 to rotate a preset number of times, thereby causing the test strip 7 to move upward to a preset height, which makes it convenient to take out the test strip.

[0041] Preferably, a button 134 is provided on the first housing 131. The button 134 is electrically connected to the electronic control board. When the button 134 is triggered, the electronic control board sends a control signal to the first driving device 133. In other embodiments, the button 134 can also be replaced by a touch screen or other signal triggering device.

[0042] Combination Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the test strip storage unit includes two side plates 13b and a top plate 13a. The top plate 13a is slidably connected to the side plates 13b. The top plate 13a and side plates 13b of the test strip storage unit, together with the first housing 131, form the test strip access opening 130. Adjusting the position of the top plate 13a can adjust the size of the test strip access opening 130. When it is necessary to put the test strip 7 into the test strip storage cavity, first pull the top plate 13a backward to enlarge the test strip access opening 130. After putting in the test strip 7, push the top plate 13a forward to be close to the first housing 131 to reduce the size of the test strip access opening 130. This can prevent the test strip 7 from falling out accidentally, while not affecting the ejection of a single test strip 7.

[0043] Preferably, the top of each of the two side plates 13b is provided with a recessed slot, which engages with the top plate 13a so that the top plate 13a slides along the slot.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the test strip compression device includes a slider 137 installed in the test strip storage unit, a spring 138 with one end abutting against the slider 137 and the other end abutting against the inner wall of the test strip storage unit. The spring 138 is used to apply force to the slider 137, causing the slider 137 to squeeze the test strip and move it toward the test strip output device.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the slider 137 is provided with an annular protrusion 138a, one end of the spring 138 is inserted into the annular protrusion 138a, and a cylindrical protrusion 138b is provided on the inner wall of the test paper storage unit, and the other end of the spring 138 is sleeved on the cylindrical protrusion 138b.

[0046] Preferably, the top plate 13a has a strip-shaped hole, one end of the slider 137 extends into the strip-shaped hole and slides within it. A contact switch 139 is also provided within the strip-shaped hole and near the test strip storage port 130. The contact switch 139 is electrically connected to the control board of the test strip output device. An indicator light 135 is also provided on the first housing 131 and is electrically connected to the control board. When the contact switch 139 is triggered, the indicator light 135 is illuminated. When the number of test strips 7 in the test strip storage unit is low, the slider 137 will press against the contact switch 139. After receiving the signal from the contact switch 139, the control board controls the indicator light 135 to illuminate, thereby reminding the user to add test strips 7 in time.

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, preferably, an infrared sensor 136 is also provided on the side of the first housing 131 near the test strip storage port 130. The infrared sensor 136 is positioned higher than the test strip 7 but on the movement path of the test strip 7, and is electrically connected to the electronic control board. When the roller 132 rotates, it will drive the test strip 7 upward, and when it reaches a certain height, it will block the infrared sensor 136, thereby causing the infrared sensor 136 to generate a trigger signal, indicating that the paper output is normal. If the roller 132 does not drive the test strip 7 upward, the infrared sensor 136 will not generate a trigger signal. At this time, the electronic control board will control the roller 132 to continue rotating until the infrared sensor 136 generates a trigger signal. This setting can ensure normal paper output.

[0048] Combination Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, to ensure dryness inside the box, a drying device 14 is detachably installed on the upper box body 12. When used in a humid environment, the drying device 14 can be installed on the upper box body 12, and when the environment is relatively dry, the drying device 14 can be removed.

[0049] Specifically, the drying device 14 includes a second housing 140, a rotating wheel 141 installed inside the second housing 140, and a second driving device 142 that drives the rotating wheel 141 to rotate.

[0050] The rotating wheel 141 has multiple breathable cavities containing a regenerable desiccant, such as silica gel. A heating device 143 is also provided inside the second housing 140, which heats the desiccant inside the rotating wheel 141 to regenerate it.

[0051] The heating device 143 is an electric heating wire or an electric heating film. The upper box 12 and the second box 140 are respectively provided with a plurality of vent holes 146, and the vent holes 146 of the upper box 12 are positioned directly opposite the heating device 143.

[0052] like Figure 10 As shown, the second box 140 is divided into a moisture absorption zone 14a and a regeneration zone 14b, separated by a rib 1401. A heating device 143 is located in the regeneration zone 14b. The vent 146 of the upper box 12 communicates with the regeneration zone 14b, and the vent 146 of the second box 140 communicates with the moisture absorption zone 14a. The desiccant in the rotating wheel 141 absorbs moisture in the moisture absorption zone 14a. When the rotating wheel 141 rotates to the regeneration zone 14b, the desiccant is heated by the heating device 143 and releases moisture. The released moisture enters the atmosphere through the vent 146 of the upper box 12. As the roller 132 rotates, the desiccant re-enters the moisture absorption zone 14a and absorbs moisture from the box through the vent 146 of the second box 140.

[0053] like Figure 9 As shown, preferably, the rotating wheel 141 is mounted on a support shaft 145. The support shaft 145 is provided with a magnet at one end near the upper box 12 and is fixed to the upper box 12 by magnetic attraction. The other end of the support shaft 145 passes through the second box 140 and forms an annular flange at the end. The annular flange is engaged with the second box 140 to fix the second box 140 to the upper box 12. The annular flange and the support shaft 145 are detachable.

[0054] Preferably, a toothed surface is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating wheel 141, and the second driving device 142 is connected to a gear 144. The gear 144 meshes with the toothed surface of the rotating wheel 141, and the second driving device 142 drives the rotating wheel 141 to rotate through the gear 144.

[0055] The rotational speed range of the rotor 141 is preferably 0.2 r / min to 1 r / min.

[0056] Preferably, one end of the rotating wheel 141 is an openable cover plate 1411, and desiccant can be added into the rotating wheel 141 by opening the cover plate 1411.

[0057] Preferably, the second drive device 142 and the heating device 143 are also electrically connected to the electronic control board and controlled by the electronic control board. A humidity sensor is also provided in the upper box 12 or the lower box 11 and is electrically connected to the electronic control board. When the detection value of the humidity sensor reaches the set value, the electronic control board controls the second drive device 142 and the heating device 143 to run.

[0058] like Figure 6As shown, the lower box 11 is further provided with multiple partition cavities, and at least one partition cavity a is used to place the lancing device 2, at least one partition cavity b is used to place the blood glucose meter 5, at least one partition cavity c is used to place the lancing needle 6, at least one partition cavity d is used to place the disinfectant 4, and at least one partition cavity e is used to place the cotton swab 3; a bracket a1 for fixing the lancing device 2 is provided in the partition cavity a where the lancing device 2 is placed.

[0059] The above description is an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
