Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a fully automatic blood glucose monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] A blood glucose meter is a medical device used to measure the glucose content in the blood. For diabetic patients, it is an important tool for daily blood glucose management. By regularly monitoring blood glucose, patients can effectively manage their condition and avoid various health risks caused by excessively high or low blood glucose levels. For some people, such as diabetic patients, blood glucose monitoring is an indispensable part of their daily lives. They need to use a blood glucose meter to regularly check their blood glucose levels to ensure that they are within a safe range.
[0003] Blood glucose monitoring is not done once a day, but multiple times a day. To avoid infection, cleaning and sterilization are required after each blood glucose monitoring session. However, there is no standardized procedure for this process, and it relies on the user's intuitive judgment, which makes it difficult to clean and sterilize properly and poses a hygiene risk. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.
[0054] This invention proposes a fully automated blood glucose monitoring device.
[0055] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 1 to 14 As shown, the fully automatic blood glucose monitoring device includes a body 10, a fixing mechanism 20, a control mechanism 30, a blood collection component 40, a recycling mechanism 50, and a cleaning and sterilization mechanism 70.
[0056] Specifically, the body 10 has a blood collection platform 11 for placing the user's finger for blood glucose sampling.
[0057] Specifically, the fixing mechanism 20 includes a fixing seat 21 and a squeezing mechanism 23. The fixing seat 21 is disposed on the blood collection platform 11 and has a finger fixing groove 22. The squeezing mechanism 23 is used to fix and squeeze the user's finger placed in the finger fixing groove 22 to ensure the accuracy of blood glucose sampling.
[0058] Specifically, when a user places their finger in the finger-fixing slot 22 of the holder 21, the squeezing mechanism 23 is triggered, and the clamping device appropriately fixes and gently presses the finger. The squeezing force needs to be sufficiently stable and moderate to ensure the accuracy of the blood glucose sample, while avoiding excessive discomfort to the user. This can be achieved by adjusting the pressure of the clamping device or controlling the parameters of the control system.
[0059] Through the design of the squeezing mechanism 23, the fully automated blood glucose meter monitoring device can reduce the impact of user hand movement and unstable factors during blood glucose measurement, providing more accurate and consistent blood glucose sampling. At the same time, it also reduces reliance on nurses, improving operational convenience and efficiency.
[0060] Specifically, the control mechanism 30 includes a blood collection turntable 31, which is rotatably mounted above the blood collection platform 11 and can be raised and lowered relative to the fixed mechanism 20. The raising and lowering movement of the blood collection turntable 31 is controlled by a rotating mechanism.
[0061] Specifically, the blood collection assembly 40 includes a system of disinfection tools 41, needles 43, blood-wiping swabs 42, blood collection tools 44, and hemostatic tools 45, arranged at intervals around the rotating shaft of the blood collection turntable 31. These blood collection assemblies 40 can pass sequentially above the fixing mechanism 20 and move up and down relative to the fixing mechanism 20 as the blood collection turntable 31 moves. In this way, when the user's finger is fixed and squeezed, the blood collection assembly 40 can automatically move to the appropriate position to perform a series of operations for blood glucose sampling.
[0062] In this embodiment, the fully automatic blood glucose meter monitoring device further includes a data processor, which includes a blood glucose analysis module, a storage module, and a processing module. The blood glucose analysis module is located in the body 10 and is used to measure and analyze the glucose content in the collected blood samples. The storage module is used to store the blood glucose values of each measurement. The processing module is used to generate a blood glucose change line graph based on the stored blood glucose values. The wireless communication module is used to send the line graph to an external device.
[0063] Specifically, after collecting the user's blood, the blood sample is sent to the blood analysis module. This module uses optical, electrochemical, or other related technologies to measure and analyze the glucose content in the blood sample. Finally, the measurement results are stored and displayed on the automated blood glucose meter's screen or sent to the user's device (phone, tablet, computer, etc.), allowing the user to view their blood glucose levels instantly. After multiple blood glucose monitoring sessions, the data stored in the module is processed by the processing module to generate a line graph, which is then displayed on the automated blood glucose meter's screen or sent to the user's device (phone, tablet, computer, etc.). This provides a clear visual representation of blood glucose changes, facilitating blood glucose management and analysis.
[0064] A recycling mechanism 50 is located within the machine body 10 to classify and recycle used blood collection components 40. It is understood that since disinfection tools 41, needles 43, blood-wiping swabs 42, blood collection tools 44, and hemostatic tools 45 are all single-use items and belong to different categories of medical waste (e.g., needles 43 are considered traumatic waste, and swabs are considered infectious waste), they require separate processing. The recycling mechanism 50 can be equipped with multiple independent recycling bins, each corresponding to a different type of waste tool. When the blood collection turntable 31 rotates the used tools to the recycling station, they are detached by a mechanical pusher or gravity and collected separately, ensuring the standardization and safety of medical waste disposal.
[0065] Specifically, the cleaning and sterilization mechanism 70 includes a cleaning component 71, a drying component 72, and an ultraviolet lamp 73. The cleaning component 71, the drying component 72, and the ultraviolet lamp 73 are all located on the machine body 10. The cleaning component 71, the drying component 72, and the ultraviolet lamp 73 are used to clean, dry, and sterilize the finger fixing groove 22 and the blood collection turntable 31 with ultraviolet light.
[0066] After the blood glucose monitoring process is completed, to ensure hygiene for subsequent use and prevent cross-infection, the finger fixation slot 22, which comes into direct contact with the fingers, and the blood collection turntable 31, which may be contaminated with blood or bodily fluids, need to be cleaned and sterilized. The cleaning component 71 sprays cleaning fluid for rinsing; the drying component 72 blows hot air for drying, preventing bacterial growth in a humid environment; and the ultraviolet lamp 73 emits ultraviolet light for sterilization. These three components combined constitute a complete cleaning and sterilization process, significantly improving the hygiene standards of the device.
[0067] Specifically, in actual use, after the user's blood glucose monitoring process is completed, the device is first cleaned by the cleaning component 71 spraying liquid, then dried by the drying component 72 blowing hot air, and finally sterilized by the ultraviolet lamp 73, thereby ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the core areas of the device (finger fixing groove 22, blood collection turntable 31).
[0068] The fully automatic blood glucose meter monitoring device of this application allows the user to rinse the finger holder 22 with cleaning solution sprayed by the cleaning component 71 after blood glucose monitoring; after cleaning, the device can be dried by blowing hot air through the drying component 72 to prevent bacteria from growing in a humid environment; after drying, ultraviolet lamp 73 can be used to emit ultraviolet light for sterilization. The combination of these three features constitutes a complete cleaning and sterilization process, greatly improving hygiene standards.
[0069] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 71 includes a cleaning nozzle and a cleaning fluid supply unit. The cleaning nozzle is disposed on the body 10, and the nozzle of the cleaning nozzle is directed toward the finger fixing groove 22 for spraying cleaning fluid toward the finger fixing groove 22.
[0070] Specifically, the cleaning fluid supply unit is used to store cleaning fluid (such as physiological saline, medical alcohol, or special cleaning and disinfecting solution). The cleaning fluid supply unit is designed to be detachable for easy addition and replacement, and is made of transparent material to facilitate observation of the fluid level.
[0071] The cleaning nozzle can be one or more, and is mounted on the body 10, located above or to the side of the finger fixation slot 22, ensuring that its spray nozzle can cover the entire inner wall of the finger fixation slot 22 and the bottom of the blood collection turntable 31 that may be contaminated. In this solution, the cleaning assembly 71 also includes a water pump for drawing cleaning fluid from the cleaning fluid supply unit and pressurizing and delivering it to the cleaning nozzle.
[0072] When the cleaning program is started, the water pump pressurizes the cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid supply unit and delivers it to the cleaning nozzle through pipelines. The cleaning nozzle converts the high-pressure liquid into a high-speed jet stream, directly rinsing the inner wall, bottom, and edge areas that fingers may touch of the finger fixing groove 22. Through the impact, dissolving, and rinsing action of the fluid, residual blood, skin flakes, sweat, and other contaminants are peeled off and washed away from the surface to achieve cleaning. Optionally, the nozzle can be a fan-shaped nozzle or a cone-shaped nozzle to achieve wide-range coverage or targeted powerful rinsing.
[0073] Furthermore, the drying assembly 72 includes a hot air blower located near the body 10, with the hot air outlet of the hot air blower facing the finger fixing groove 22, for blowing hot air to dry the finger fixing groove 22.
[0074] Specifically, the hot air blower is a module integrating a fan and a heating element. The fan, which generates airflow, is a low-noise, high-pressure miniature axial or centrifugal fan. The heating element, a PTC ceramic heating element or heating wire, is installed within the air duct. The fan outlet faces the finger-fixing slot 22, guiding the heated air to the slot for drying.
[0075] In actual use, after the cleaning process is completed, the drying process begins. A fan draws in ambient air, which, after passing through the heating element, heats up and forms a dry, hot airflow. This hot air is forced through the duct onto the inner wall of the finger holder 22, where water still remains. The hot air serves two purposes: first, it accelerates the movement of water molecules through high temperature, promoting evaporation; second, it rapidly carries away the evaporated water vapor through high-speed airflow, thus achieving thorough drying of the finger holder 22 in a very short time. This destroys the living environment for microorganisms, and the dry surface makes the next use more comfortable, preventing the user from touching the damp holder.
[0076] Optionally, the outlet shape of the air duct can be set to flat or diffused to optimize the coverage and velocity distribution of hot air within the fixed slot.
[0077] Furthermore, an ultraviolet lamp 73 is installed in the body 10 to irradiate the finger fixation slot 22 and the blood collection turntable 31. Specifically, the ultraviolet light uses a deep ultraviolet LED lamp in the UVC band (wavelength 200-275nm). The ultraviolet lamp 73 includes multiple deep ultraviolet LEDs in a multi-point distributed layout to eliminate irradiation dead zones. Compared to chemical disinfectants, ultraviolet sterilization is a physical method that does not produce chemical residues or corrode equipment parts. Moreover, it has a highly effective killing effect on almost all microorganisms, including vegetative bacteria, spores, viruses, and fungi, providing stable hygiene protection.
[0078] In practical use, after the washing and drying processes are completed, UV lamp 73 is turned on, emitting high-energy ultraviolet light. This ultraviolet light can penetrate the cell walls of microorganisms and be absorbed by the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the cell nucleus, destroying their molecular structure and rendering them unable to replicate and reproduce, thereby killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The irradiation process usually lasts for a preset time (e.g., 5-10 minutes) to ensure a sufficient ultraviolet dose (irradiation intensity × time). This process mainly targets the inner surface of the finger fixation groove 22 and the lower surface of the blood collection turntable 31—the two areas most likely to come into direct contact with blood or finger skin flakes.
[0079] In some embodiments, the cleaning nozzle can be raised and lowered relative to the finger retaining groove 22, so as to descend to a position close to the finger retaining groove 22 during cleaning.
[0080] Specifically, the cleaning assembly 71 also includes a first lifting mechanism, which is mounted on the body 10 and can be raised and lowered relative to the blood collection platform 11. The cleaning nozzle is mounted on the first lifting mechanism and rises and falls with it. After the cleaning program is started, the first lifting mechanism drives the nozzle to descend, bringing its outlet close to or even slightly into the opening of the finger fixing groove 22, ensuring that the spray (cleaning fluid or hot air) accurately acts on the inner surface of the groove. This close proximity of the cleaning nozzle to the finger fixing groove 22 greatly reduces the loss of cleaning fluid in the air, ensuring that the high-pressure water flow washes away dirt with maximum impact force.
[0081] Furthermore, the hot air blower can be raised and lowered relative to the finger fixing groove 22, so that it can be lowered to a position close to the finger fixing groove 22 during drying.
[0082] Specifically, the hot air blower also includes a second lifting mechanism, which is installed on the body 10 and can be raised and lowered relative to the blood collection platform 11. The fan and heating element are installed on the second lifting mechanism so that they rise and fall along with the first lifting mechanism. After the cleaning process is completed, the second lifting mechanism drives the nozzle to descend, bringing its hot air outlet close to or even slightly into the opening of the finger fixing slot 22. This allows the hot air to act directly on the wet surface at a higher temperature and flow rate, preventing heat and airflow loss during long-distance transmission, thereby significantly shortening the cleaning and drying time.
[0083] In some embodiments, the fully automatic blood glucose meter monitoring device further includes a baffle 80, which is retractably disposed on the body 10 and can extend and retract relative to the blood collection platform 11. The baffle 80 has a storage position that retracts onto the body 10 and a blocking position that extends to the blood collection platform 11, and together with the body 10, forms a clean sterilization space. In the blocking position, the cleaning component 71, the drying component 72, the ultraviolet lamp 73, the finger fixing groove 22, and the blood collection turntable 31 are all located within the clean sterilization space.
[0084] Specifically, the baffle 80 is made of opaque medical-grade polymer material (such as ABS plastic) or metal sheet. When in the storage position, the baffle 80 retracts to reduce the space occupied, and the blood collection platform 11 is fully exposed, making it convenient for users to place their fingers.
[0085] When in the shielded position, the baffle 80 and the outer shell of the unit 10 work together to enclose an independent cleaning and sterilization space. This prevents splashing of the high-pressure cleaning fluid during rinsing. The baffle 80 acts as a physical barrier, confining the splash within the space and preventing the cleaning fluid from contaminating the machine room environment or splashing onto the user.
[0086] Moreover, the enclosed space effectively prevents heat loss, maintains internal temperature, and accelerates drying. At the same time, the reflective layer on the inner wall allows ultraviolet rays to be reflected multiple times within the cavity, eliminating blind spots in irradiation and achieving comprehensive, thorough sterilization of complex surfaces such as the inner and outer walls of the finger fixation slot 22 and the bottom of the blood collection turntable 31, with effects far superior to open irradiation.
[0087] Furthermore, UVC ultraviolet radiation is harmful to human skin and eyes. Without physical shielding, direct exposure can harm nearby users. The enclosed, light-tight space created by the baffle 80 fundamentally eliminates the risk of ultraviolet leakage, allowing the device to operate safely even when unattended or with users present.
[0088] In some embodiments, a reflective layer is provided on the side of the baffle 80 facing the body 10. In this way, when the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp 73 shines on the inner wall of the baffle 80, the reflective layer can reflect the ultraviolet light. Compared with the method of setting multiple ultraviolet lamps, the reflective layer is beneficial to reducing production costs.
[0089] In some embodiments, the disinfection device 41 includes a liquid reservoir 411 and a disinfection cotton 413. The liquid reservoir 411 is a hollow tubular structure with a liquid storage chamber 412 for storing disinfectant liquid. The liquid reservoir 411 can be made of a transparent or translucent material so that the user can observe the liquid storage status.
[0090] Furthermore, the first end of the liquid storage column 411 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 412, forming a liquid outlet. When disinfectant liquid is needed, the liquid can be released through the liquid outlet. The liquid outlet is usually designed to control the liquid flow rate, such as through a valve or regulating device.
[0091] Disinfectant cotton 413 is placed at the first end of the liquid reservoir 411 and covers the outlet. Disinfectant cotton 413 is typically made of absorbent material, which can effectively absorb and retain disinfectant liquid to prevent leakage or evaporation.
[0092] During use, when disinfection is required, the fully automatic blood glucose meter monitor will bring the first end of the reservoir column 411 into contact with the disinfection area. Through appropriate operation or pressing, the disinfectant liquid will permeate through the outlet onto the disinfectant cotton 413, wetting it. The presence of the disinfectant cotton 413 helps to evenly distribute the disinfectant liquid on the area to be disinfected and maintain a certain level of moisture. This helps to provide effective disinfection and reduce the risk of infection.
[0093] The disinfection device 41 in the above embodiments is simple in design and convenient to use. The liquid storage chamber 412 of the liquid storage column 411 can hold enough disinfectant liquid to meet the disinfection requirements. At the same time, the covering of the disinfectant cotton 413 can keep the disinfectant liquid moist and prevent the liquid from leaking and evaporating.
[0094] By using the disinfection device 41 in this fully automated blood glucose meter monitoring device, the hygiene and disinfection of the blood glucose sampling area can be ensured, improving the accuracy and safety of the measurement. At the same time, the simple structure and easy-to-replace nature of the disinfection device 41 make maintenance and cleaning more convenient and economical.
[0095] In some embodiments, the blood collection turntable 31 is provided with a first channel 311, which extends in the vertical direction and forms two channel openings on the upper and lower surfaces of the blood collection turntable 31.
[0096] Furthermore, the feeding platform 32 is also equipped with a first storage bin 321 for storing disinfection equipment 41. The first storage bin 321 has a first outlet, and when the blood collection turntable 31 rotates to the first position, the first storage bin 321 is connected to the first channel 311 through the first outlet. Here, the first position refers to a specific position of the blood collection turntable 31 on its rotating track, which can be positioned and controlled by the relevant device in the control mechanism 30.
[0097] Specifically, when the blood collection turntable 31 rotates to the first position, it reaches a predetermined angle or position. At this specific position, components associated with the first channel 311, the pushing and releasing device of the sterilization equipment 41, and other operating devices can perform corresponding actions. This ensures the correct operating sequence and timing for the steps required for blood glucose testing.
[0098] The first position can be determined by sensors, limit devices or encoders in the control mechanism 30 to ensure that the blood collection turntable 31 accurately stops at the required position.
[0099] Furthermore, the control mechanism 30 also includes a first feeding pusher 33. The first feeding pusher 33 is designed to push the sterilization equipment 41 in the first storage bin 321 into the first channel 311 when the blood collection turntable 31 is rotated to the first position.
[0100] Specifically, the sterilization equipment 41 is pre-arranged in a specific order in the first storage bin 321. When the blood collection turntable 31 rotates to the first position, after the first channel 311 aligns with the first outlet, the first feeding push rod 33 moves a set distance towards the first outlet to push the sterilization equipment 41 into the first channel 311. The first feeding push rod 33 can be driven by electric, pneumatic, or mechanical means.
[0101] After the initial push is completed, the first feeding pusher 33 can return to its initial position to prepare for the next operation, or it can remain in its current position. Through precise pushing force and stable operation, the first feeding pusher 33 reliably pushes the sterilization equipment 41 to the first channel 311, ensuring smooth subsequent processing and blood glucose testing. This design improves the efficiency and accuracy of the fully automated blood glucose meter monitoring device.
[0102] The second end of the liquid storage column 411 is provided with a first protrusion 414, and the side wall of the first channel 311 is provided with a retractable first limiting protrusion 61. The first limiting protrusion 61 can extend or retract relative to the channel wall of the first channel 311.
[0103] Specifically, the function of the first limiting protrusion 61 is to abut against the first protrusion 414 when the disinfection device 41 falls from the upper channel opening of the first channel 311 and the disinfection cotton 413 extends from the lower channel opening of the first channel 311, thereby maintaining the stable position of the disinfection device 41. Furthermore, after the disinfection cotton 413 extends from the lower channel of the first channel 311, it continues to extend until it engages with another first limiting protrusion 61 or the channel wall of the first channel 311 to clamp the liquid reservoir 411. Through this design, the disinfection device 41 can move within the first channel 311 of the fully automatic blood glucose meter monitoring device and be positioned and fixed in the appropriate location. The retractable design of the first limiting protrusion 61 and its engagement with the liquid reservoir 411 ensure the accurate positioning and stability of the disinfection device 41.
[0104] Specifically, since the first limiting protrusion 61 is telescopic, the position of the disinfection device 41 in the first channel 311 can be adjusted by controlling the degree of its extension or retraction. Thus, before the disinfection device 41 falls from the upper opening of the first channel 311, the first limiting protrusion 61 can be extended a short distance to cooperate with the first protrusion 414 of the fallen disinfection device 41, stabilizing and fixing the position of the disinfection device 41. After the position of the disinfection device 41 is fixed, the first limiting protrusion can be further extended until it clamps the disinfection device 41, providing an accurate and reliable basis for subsequent blood glucose testing steps.
[0105] It is understandable that by controlling the degree to which the first limiting protrusion 61 extends or retracts, it can be flexibly controlled according to specific needs and different sizes of disinfection utensils 41, so as to ensure its smooth cooperation and movement with other components.
[0106] Alternatively, two opposing first limiting protrusions 61 are provided in the first channel 311, while the first protrusion 414 at the second end of the liquid storage column 411 is arranged in a ring. This arrangement can improve the accuracy of the engagement between the first limiting protrusions 61 and the first protrusion 414. Of course, in other embodiments, only one or more first limiting protrusions 61 may be provided in the first channel 311.
[0107] In some embodiments, a recycling port 12 is provided on the blood collection platform 11 for recycling used disinfection equipment 41.
[0108] Furthermore, the recycling mechanism 50 includes a recycling turntable 51 and a first recycling bin 52. The recycling turntable 51 is freely rotatable and is mounted on the body 10 of the fully automated blood glucose meter monitoring device. The first recycling bin 52 is placed on the recycling turntable 51 to receive the recycled sterilization equipment 41. The recycling turntable 51 is designed so that when the sterilization equipment 41 rotates above the recycling port 12, it automatically rotates to a position opposite to the recycling port 12. In this way, when the sterilization equipment 41 rotates to the recycling port 12, the recycling turntable 51 will align it with the first recycling bin 52, facilitating its safe and efficient recycling.
[0109] Furthermore, the first limiting protrusion 61 is also configured to retract into the channel wall of the first channel 311 when the disinfection device 41 is turned above the recycling port 12. This action releases the disinfection device 41, allowing it to pass smoothly through the recycling port 12 and enter the first recycling bin 52.
[0110] Through the above implementation methods, the fully automated blood glucose meter monitoring device can conveniently recycle used sterilization equipment 41. The rotation of the recycling turntable 51 and the retraction of the first limiting protrusion 61 ensure the smooth recycling and release of the sterilization equipment 41, improving the ease of use and efficiency of the fully automated blood glucose meter monitoring device. This design helps reduce manual operation and alleviate the workload of nurses, while improving hygiene and the effectiveness of hazardous waste management.
[0111] In some embodiments, the needle 43 consists of a mounting post 431 and a needle tip 432. The needle tip 432 is located at the first end of the mounting post 431, while a second protrusion 433 protrudes from the second end of the mounting post 431.
[0112] Furthermore, the blood collection turntable 31 is provided with a second channel 312, which extends in the vertical direction and forms two channel openings on the upper and lower surfaces of the blood collection turntable 31.
[0113] The control mechanism 30 also includes a loading platform 32 and a second storage bin 322. The second storage bin 322 is used to store the lancets 43 and has a second outlet. When the blood collection turntable 31 rotates to the second position, the second storage bin 322 is connected to the second channel 312 through the second outlet. Here, the first position and the second position refer to different states or positions of the blood collection turntable 31, which are used to guide the loading and retrieval process to realize the function of the fully automatic blood glucose meter monitoring device.
[0114] Furthermore, the control mechanism 30 also includes a second feeding pusher 34, which pushes the needle 43 in the second storage bin 322 into the second channel 312 when the blood collection turntable 31 rotates to the second position. The structure and control method of the second feeding pusher 34 can be referred to the first feeding pusher 33, and will not be described again here.
[0115] A second limiting protrusion 62 is provided on the side wall of the second channel 312. This second limiting protrusion 62 is telescopic and can extend or retract relative to the channel wall of the second channel 312. Specifically, the second limiting protrusion 62 is configured to abut against the second protrusion 63 when the needle 43 falls from the upper channel opening of the second channel 312, and when the needle tip 432 extends from the lower channel opening of the second channel 312, thereby maintaining the position of the needle 43. Furthermore, after the needle tip 432 extends from the lower channel of the second channel 312, it continues to extend until it engages with another second limiting protrusion 62 or the channel wall of the second channel 312 to clamp the mounting post 431.
[0116] The recycling mechanism 50 also includes a second recycling bin 53, which is placed on a recycling turntable 51. The recycling turntable 51 is configured to rotate to a position opposite to the recycling port 12 when the needle 43 rotates above it, so as to facilitate the recycling of the needle 43 into the second recycling bin 53.
[0117] Similarly, the second limiting protrusion 62 is also configured to retract into the channel wall of the second channel 312 when the needle 43 rotates above the return port 12, thereby releasing the needle 43.
[0118] Through the above implementation methods, the fully automatic blood glucose meter monitoring device achieves automatic feeding and retrieval of the lancet 43. The second feeding pusher 34 pushes the lancet 43 into the second channel 312, while the second limiting protrusion 62 controls and fixes the position of the lancet 43 after it falls or extends. The retrieval turntable 51 and the second retrieval bin 53 achieve effective retrieval and safe storage of the lancet 43. This design makes the fully automatic blood glucose meter monitoring device more convenient and efficient to use, and provides good hygiene and hazardous waste management.
[0119] In some embodiments, the blood-swabbing swab 42 includes a first swab stick 421 and a first swab head 422. The first swab head 422 is located at the first end of the first swab stick 421, while the second end of the first swab stick 421 has a third protrusion 423. The blood collection turntable 31 is provided with a third channel 313, which extends in the vertical direction and forms two channel openings on the upper and lower surfaces of the blood collection turntable 31. The feeding platform 32 is also provided with a third storage bin 323 for storing the blood-swabbing swabs 42, and the third storage bin 323 has a third outlet.
[0120] When the blood collection turntable 31 rotates to the third position, the third storage bin 323 connects to the third channel 313 through the third outlet. The control mechanism 30 also includes a third feeding pusher 35, which pushes the blood-swabbing swabs 42 in the third storage bin 323 into the third channel 313 when the blood collection turntable 31 rotates to the third position. The structure and control method of the third feeding pusher 35 can be referred to the first feeding pusher 33, and will not be described again here.
[0121] A third limiting protrusion 63 is provided on the side wall of the third channel 313. This protrusion is retractable and can extend or retract relative to the channel wall of the third channel 313. The function of the third limiting protrusion 63 is to abut against the third protrusion 423 when the swab 42 falls from the upper channel opening of the third channel 313 and the first swab tip 422 extends from the lower channel opening of the third channel 313, thereby maintaining the position of the swab 42. Furthermore, after the first swab tip 422 of the swab 42 extends from the lower channel opening of the third channel 313, it continues to extend until it engages with another third limiting protrusion 63 or the channel wall of the third channel 313 to clamp the third end of the mounting post 431.
[0122] The recycling mechanism 50 also includes a third recycling bin 54, which is disposed on the recycling turntable 51. The recycling turntable 51 is configured to rotate to a position where the third recycling bin 54 is opposite to the recycling opening 12 when the swab 42 rotates above the recycling opening 12. At the same time, the third limiting protrusion 63 is also configured to retract into the channel wall of the third channel 313 when the swab 42 rotates above the recycling opening 12, so as to release the swab 42.
[0123] In summary, the fully automated blood glucose meter monitoring device of this application achieves automated blood collection, storage and recycling processes by using a blood swab 42 with specific structure and function, a blood collection turntable 31, a feeding platform 32 and a recycling mechanism 50, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of blood glucose testing.
[0124] In some embodiments, the blood collection device 44 includes a test strip holder 441 and a blood collection test strip 442. The blood collection test strip 442 is located at the first end of the test strip holder 441, while the second end of the test strip holder 441 is provided with a fourth protrusion 443.
[0125] Among these, the 442 lancet is a special type of test strip used for blood glucose measurement. It typically consists of a thin sheet of matrix material containing specific chemicals and reactants. The main function of the 442 lancet is to react chemically with glucose in the blood upon contact. Generally, this chemical reaction produces an electrical or optical signal, which is proportional to the glucose concentration in the blood. The measuring device detects and interprets this signal to determine the blood glucose level.
[0126] The blood collection turntable 31 is provided with a fourth channel 314, which extends vertically and forms two channel openings on the upper and lower surfaces of the turntable 31. The loading platform 32 is also provided with a fourth storage bin 324 for storing blood collection devices 44, and the fourth storage bin 324 has a fourth outlet. When the blood collection turntable 31 rotates to the fourth position, the fourth storage bin 324 connects to the fourth channel 314 through the fourth outlet. The control mechanism 30 also includes a fourth loading push rod 36, which pushes the blood collection devices 44 from the fourth storage bin 324 into the fourth channel 314 when the blood collection turntable 31 rotates to the fourth position.
[0127] A fourth limiting protrusion 64 protrudes from the side wall of the fourth channel 314. This fourth limiting protrusion 64 is retractable and can extend or retract relative to the channel wall of the fourth channel 314. The function of the fourth limiting protrusion 64 is to abut against the fourth protrusion 443 when the blood collection device 44 falls from the upper channel opening of the fourth channel 314 and the blood collection test strip 442 extends from the lower channel opening of the fourth channel 314, thereby maintaining the position of the blood collection device 44. Furthermore, after the blood collection test strip 442 extends from the lower channel opening of the fourth channel 314, it continues to extend until it engages with another fourth limiting protrusion 64 or the channel wall of the fourth channel 314 to clamp the test strip holder 441. It is worth noting that the design of this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, devices such as straws or blood bottles can also be used to collect the user's blood.
[0128] In some embodiments, the blood collection assembly 40 further includes a local anesthetic ointment device 46, which is disposed between the disinfection device 41 and the needle 43 and spaced apart from the disinfection device 41 and the needle 43. The local anesthetic ointment device 46 can pass above the fixing mechanism 20 in sequence when the blood collection turntable 31 rotates, and can rise and fall relative to the fixing mechanism 20 as the blood collection turntable 31 rises and falls.
[0129] In practical use, the blood collection turntable 31 rotates to deliver the disinfection tool 41 above the finger fixation slot 22. The turntable 31 descends, and the disinfection tool 41 disinfects and wipes the fingertip of the user's finger, which has been squeezed and fixed. The turntable 31 then rises, and the disinfection tool 41 returns to its original position. The turntable 31 rotates to a preset angle, delivering the local anesthetic ointment tool 46 directly above the finger fixation slot 22. The turntable 31 descends, allowing the application head 463 to gently contact and adhere to the area of the user's finger to be circulated (usually the sides of the fingertip, a location with relatively few nerve endings). Through mechanical squeezing or capillary action, a measured amount of local anesthetic ointment is evenly applied to the skin surface. The turntable 31 rises, and the local anesthetic ointment tool 46 returns to its original position. During this time, the squeezing mechanism 23 continues to fix the finger, allowing the local anesthetic ointment to penetrate the skin surface and block the transmission of pain signals from nerve endings. This achieves an anesthetic effect. The blood collection turntable 31 rotates, sending the needle 43 above the finger fixation groove 22. The blood collection turntable 31 quickly descends to perform the puncture. Since the skin has been anesthetized, the user's pain will be greatly reduced or even completely absent. The subsequent blood wiping, blood collection, and hemostasis steps are executed automatically in sequence.
[0130] For diabetic patients who need to monitor their blood sugar multiple times a day (especially children, the elderly, and those with high pain sensitivity), the pain of finger-prick blood sampling is a major cause of decreased monitoring compliance. The introduction of local anesthetic creams blocks the pain at a physiological level, transforming painful monitoring into a painless experience.
[0131] This significantly reduces the psychological fear experienced by users (especially first-time users or children), making them more willing to accept and adhere to regular monitoring. Furthermore, pain can cause users to subconsciously retract their fingers or tense their muscles, which, even with a fixation mechanism, can affect the stable insertion of the lancet. Painless blood collection eliminates this stress response, making the puncture process smoother and more precise. Additionally, pain and tension can cause slight changes in local tissue fluid. Eliminating pain helps maintain the physiological homeostasis of local tissues, potentially indirectly improving the purity of the blood sample.
[0132] In some embodiments, the local anesthetic ointment applicator 46 includes a drug reservoir 462 and an application head 463. The drug reservoir 462 is hollow and has a drug reservoir cavity, which stores local anesthetic ointment. The first end of the drug reservoir 462 is provided with a drug outlet communicating with the drug reservoir cavity. The application head 463 is located at the first end and covers the drug outlet. The second end of the drug reservoir 462 is provided with a sixth protrusion 461. The blood collection turntable 31 is provided with a sixth channel 316, which extends in the vertical direction and forms two channel openings on the upper and lower surfaces of the blood collection turntable 31.
[0133] Specifically, the drug reservoir 462 is cylindrical with a hollow interior forming a drug storage cavity for pre-filling a measured amount of local anesthetic ointment. The first end of the reservoir 462 has a drug outlet communicating with the drug storage cavity, serving as a channel for ointment extrusion. The second end has a sixth protrusion 461, which interacts with a limiting mechanism on the blood collection turntable 31 to suspend and release the device. An application head 463 is installed at the first end of the reservoir 462 and covers the drug outlet. When the drug storage cavity is subjected to external pressure (provided by a feeding pusher or a subsequent extrusion mechanism 23), the ointment is extruded from the outlet and wets the application head 463. When the application head 463 contacts the skin, it evenly and gently applies the ointment to the blood collection point through capillary action or mechanical rolling. The application head 463 can be made of medical polymer sponge, microporous fiber membrane, or microporous silicone rollers.
[0134] Furthermore, the control mechanism 30 also includes a loading platform 32, which is provided with a sixth storage bin 326. The sixth storage bin 326 is used to store local anesthetic ointment equipment 46. The sixth storage bin 326 has a sixth outlet. When the blood collection turntable 31 rotates to the sixth position, the sixth storage bin 326 is connected to the sixth channel 316 through the sixth outlet.
[0135] The sixth storage bin 326 is located on the loading platform 32 and is a fixed bin pre-loaded with multiple unused local anesthetic ointment devices 46. The bottom of the sixth storage bin 326 has an outlet that aligns precisely with a channel on the turntable when the blood collection turntable 31 rotates to a specific angle (sixth position). The sixth channel 316 extends vertically through the blood collection turntable 31, forming openings (upper channel opening and lower channel opening) on both the upper and lower surfaces of the turntable.
[0136] Furthermore, the control mechanism 30 also includes a sixth feeding push rod 38, which is configured to push the local anesthetic ointment device 46 in the sixth storage bin 326 into the sixth channel 316 when the blood collection turntable 31 rotates to the sixth position.
[0137] The controller instructs the blood collection turntable 31 to rotate until its sixth channel 316 is precisely aligned with the sixth outlet of the sixth storage bin 326 of the feeding platform 32. The sixth feeding pusher 38 is activated, pushing the bottommost local anesthetic ointment device 46 horizontally (or vertically, depending on the layout) into the sixth channel 316 from one end of the storage bin. Since the channel is vertically connected, the device begins to fall under the influence of gravity.
[0138] Furthermore, a sixth limiting protrusion 66 is provided on the side wall of the sixth channel 316. The sixth limiting protrusion 66 is telescopically oriented and can extend or retract relative to the channel wall of the sixth channel 316. The sixth limiting protrusion 66 is configured to abut against the sixth protrusion 461 to maintain the position of the local anesthetic ointment device 46 when the local anesthetic ointment device 46 falls from the upper channel opening of the sixth channel 316 and the application head 463 extends from the lower channel opening of the sixth channel 316.
[0139] After the anesthetic ointment applicator 46 falls into the upper channel of the sixth channel 316, it slides down under gravity. A retractable sixth limiting protrusion 66 is provided on the side wall of the channel. Initially, the sixth limiting protrusion 66 is extended. When the applicator slides down to the point where the application head 463 just emerges from the lower channel, the sixth protrusion 461 on the medicine reservoir 462 moves precisely above the sixth limiting protrusion 66 and abuts against its upper end face. This abutting action prevents the applicator from falling further, suspending it in the channel, with the application head 463 extending just beyond the predetermined length of the turntable's lower surface (for contact with the fingers). This achieves coarse positioning of the working position.
[0140] Furthermore, after the application head 463 extends from the lower channel of the sixth channel 316, it continues to extend until it engages with another sixth limiting protrusion 66 or the channel wall of the sixth channel 316 to clamp the drug reservoir 462; the retrieval mechanism 50 also includes a sixth retrieval bucket, which is disposed on the retrieval turntable 51. The retrieval turntable 51 is configured to rotate to a position opposite to the retrieval port 12 when the local anesthetic ointment device 46 rotates above the retrieval port 12; the sixth limiting protrusion 66 is also configured to retract into the channel wall of the sixth channel 316 to release the local anesthetic ointment device 46 when the local anesthetic ointment device 46 rotates above the retrieval port 12.
[0141] Specifically, the blood collection turntable 31 rotates the used local anesthetic ointment device 46 above the collection port 12. Simultaneously, the collection turntable 51 rotates, moving the sixth collection bin below the collection port 12, aligning it with the position of the local anesthetic ointment device 46 above. The controller issues a command, and the sixth limiting protrusion 66 on the side wall of the sixth channel 316 actively retracts into the channel wall, completely releasing the constraint on the sixth protrusion 461 and the drug storage column 462. The unsupported local anesthetic ointment device 46 falls vertically under gravity, passing through the collection port 12 sequentially and accurately landing in the sixth collection bin below, completing the sorting and recycling process.
[0142] In some embodiments, there are a first storage bin 321, a second storage bin 322, a third storage bin 323, a fourth storage bin 324, a fifth storage bin 325, and a sixth storage bin 326. These storage bins are arranged around the rotation axis of the blood collection turntable 31 and are distributed sequentially according to the rotation direction of the blood collection turntable 31.
[0143] The specific implementation method is as follows: On the feeding platform 32 of the fully automatic blood glucose meter monitoring device, a series of storage bins are set around the blood collection turntable 31. The number of these storage bins can be determined as needed, but at least includes a first storage bin 321, a second storage bin 322, a third storage bin 323, a fourth storage bin 324, a fifth storage bin 325, and a sixth storage bin 326.
[0144] The spacing between these storage bins is fixed, and they are all evenly distributed around the axis of rotation of the blood collection turntable 31. In other words, as the blood collection turntable 31 rotates, each storage bin will pass through a specific position on the blood collection turntable 31 in a certain order.
[0145] In this arrangement, different types of blood collection devices 44, local anesthetic ointment, such as needles 43, blood swabs 42, and blood collection test strips 442, can be stored in different storage bins. During use, as needed, the control mechanism 30 can operate the corresponding feeding pusher to push the blood collection devices 44 in the storage bins into the corresponding channels of the blood collection turntable 31 for collection or analysis.
[0146] This arrangement and spacing allows the fully automated blood glucose meter to efficiently handle different types of blood collection devices 44, and to automate the feeding and processing during the measurement process. At the same time, the uniform distribution of the storage compartments improves the equipment's efficiency and stability.
[0147] In some embodiments, the compression mechanism 23 includes air bladders 24. Air bladders 24 are provided on both opposite sidewalls of the finger retaining groove 22, and the volumes of these air bladders 24 vary in a sequentially increasing order of first volume, second volume, and third volume. These air bladders 24 are connected to an inflation mechanism to achieve the volume variation. Specifically, when the user's finger enters or leaves the finger retaining groove 22, the air bladders 24 are in a first volume state. This volume is small enough to accommodate the user's finger but does not apply excessive pressure to the finger.
[0148] Once the user places their finger in the finger retention slot 22, the control mechanism 30 inflates the airbag 24, increasing its volume from a first volume to a second volume. This airbag 24 moderately compresses the user's finger to secure it, facilitating subsequent blood collection procedures such as disinfection and needle puncture 43. After the needle 43 punctures the user's finger, the inflation mechanism re-inflates the airbag 24, increasing its volume from a second volume to a third volume. The third volume airbag 24 provides greater pressure, aiding in blood sample collection, and ensures sufficient pressure to ensure blood flows from the finger and is collected. The volume change of the airbag 24 is achieved through an air source and valve in the inflation mechanism, allowing for inflation and deflation as needed.
[0149] By varying the volume of the air bladder 24, the fully automated blood glucose meter can provide appropriate pressure to the user at different stages, ensuring effective blood sample collection. Furthermore, the air bladder 24 offers the advantages of comfort and ease of fitting different user finger types.

Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
