Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of medical device technology, and specifically relates to a blood glucose test strip storage device. Background Art

[0002] Blood glucose test strips are used in conjunction with blood glucose testing analyzers. The blood glucose testing analyzers measure blood glucose through the chemical reaction between the chemicals attached to the blood glucose test strips and the blood, thereby obtaining the blood glucose concentration.

[0003] In clinical work, patients hospitalized due to blood sugar concentration sometimes need to measure their blood sugar four or seven times a day. The number of patients in the inpatient department is also large. Medical staff need to consume a large number of blood sugar test strips every day. Each time a blood sugar measurement is performed, a blood sugar test strip is required. Blood sugar test strips are mostly stored in tanks with low light transmittance. Therefore, medical staff may take out more than one test strip when using it, and need to put the excess test strips back into the tank for next use.

[0004] In the process of taking out and putting in the test strips many times, medical staff need to put their fingers into the tank many times. This operation method increases the possibility of blood glucose test strips being contaminated. In addition, the storage of the test strips requires opening the tank many times, and the test strips need to be stored in a dry environment. If the tank is opened many times, external moisture is more likely to contaminate the test strips in the tank, thereby affecting the accuracy of the test strips when used. Utility Model Content

[0037] In order to simplify the drawings, only the parts related to the present application are schematically shown in each figure, and they do not represent the actual structure of the product. In addition, in order to simplify the drawings and facilitate understanding, in some figures, only one of the parts with the same structure or function is schematically drawn or marked.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 10 Understand this application.

[0039] The blood glucose test strip storage device comprises: a storage element 101, which is provided with a mounting plane 103 (see Figure 1 ) and a storage chamber 102 capable of storing the blood glucose test strip 501 and guiding the movement of the blood glucose test strip 501 (see Figure 2 ), the blood glucose test strip 501 has a certain hardness and is not easily deformed. The inner wall of the storage cavity 102 can guide the movement of the blood glucose test strip 501. Figure 1 A plurality of blood glucose test strips 501 are arranged in the storage cavity 102 along the thickness direction thereof. The storage element 101 is pivotally connected with a cover plate 105 , and the cover plate 105 can open or close the storage cavity 102 , thereby facilitating the taking and placing of the blood glucose test strips 501 .

[0040] The mounting plane 103 is provided with a communication port 104 communicating with the storage chamber 102 (see Figure 3 ); The storage chamber 102 is provided with a moving portion 201, the storage chamber 102 is provided with a first guide rail 109, the moving portion 201 is connected to the first guide rail 109 and can move along the first guide rail 109, see Figure 1 The moving part 201 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 109, and can move along the extension direction of the first guide rail 109 and the extension direction of the storage cavity 102, see Figure 4 The moving part 201 is connected to the storage part 101 through an elastic part, and the elastic part is a spring 202. Figure 4The spring 202 shown in the figure is a compression spring. Of course, the elastic member can also be a tension spring. The elastic member can undergo elastic deformation, giving the moving part 201 a movement tendency along the storage cavity 102 close to the connecting port 104, so that the moving part 201 moves along the first guide rail 109 toward the connecting port 104 under the action of the spring 202. A plurality of blood glucose test strips 501 are arranged in the storage cavity 102 along the thickness direction thereof. The moving part 201 drives the plurality of blood glucose test strips 501 placed in the storage cavity 102 to move toward the connecting port 104, and the plurality of blood glucose test strips 501 can leave the storage cavity 102 in sequence through the connecting port 104.

[0041] The blood glucose test strip storage device further comprises a rotating disk 301 which can rotate around a working axis and has a first rotating end surface 302 (see Figure 2 ) and the mounting plane 103 (see Figure 1 ) is parallel to the first rotating end face 302, and a transfer port 303 is provided; when the turntable 301 rotates, the rotation path of the transfer port 303 around the working axis passes through the communication port 104. When the transfer port 303 does not rotate to the communication port 104, the turntable 301 can cover the communication port 104, see Figure 5 The rotating disk 301 exerts a force on the blood glucose test strip 501, so that the blood glucose test strip 501 overcomes the force exerted by the moving part 201 and remains stationary. The rotating disk 301 prevents the blood glucose test strip 501 from leaving the storage chamber 102 through the connecting port 104. When the transfer port 303 passes through the connecting port 104 and the transfer port 303 is connected with the connecting port 104, the moving part 201 drives the blood glucose test strip 501 to enter the transfer port 303 through the connecting port 104. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The transfer port 303 penetrates the turntable 301 along the thickness direction of the turntable 301. The turntable 301 also includes a second rotating end face. The first rotating end face 302 and the second rotating end face are arranged opposite to each other. A closing member connected to the storage member 101 is provided on one side of the second rotating end face. The closing member is a cover plate 105. Of course, the closing member can also be other structures. The closing member can prevent the blood glucose test strip 501 from passing through the turntable 301 through the transfer port 303. After the blood glucose test strip 501 enters the transfer port 303 through the connecting port 104, see Figure 7 The turntable 301 continues to rotate, and the transfer port 303 drives the blood glucose test strip 501 to move to the release position. The blood glucose test strip 501 that reaches the release position can enter the outside world. In one embodiment of the present application, the mounting plane 103 is provided with a discharge port 106 that is connected to the outside world. The discharge port 106 is arranged opposite to the first rotating end face 302. The transfer port 303 that reaches the release position is connected to the discharge port 106. See Figure 8 , so that the blood glucose test strip 501 in the transfer port 303 falls into the discharge port 106 under the action of gravity, and the medical staff can take the test strip at the discharge port 106.

[0042] Those skilled in the art of the present application can understand that the implementation method of the blood glucose test strip 501 in the present application driven by the transfer port 303 to enter the outside world is not limited to the method described above that the blood glucose test strip 501 leaves the outside world through the discharge port 106 provided on the mounting plane 103, and the discharge port 106 can also be provided at other positions of the storage member 101, such as the projection of the sealing member on the mounting plane 103 only covers the communication port 104, so that when the transfer port 303 is located at the communication port 104, the sealing member can prevent the blood glucose test strip 501 from entering the transfer port 303. 3 leaves the turntable 301 from the second rotating end surface. When the turntable 301 drives the blood glucose test strip 501 to continue to rotate and the transfer port 303 leaves the connecting port 104, the sealing member no longer covers the transfer port 303. The sealing member no longer prevents the blood glucose test strip 501 from leaving the turntable 301 from the second rotating end surface, so that the blood glucose test strip 501 can leave the transfer port 303 through the transfer port 303 and the second rotating end surface, so that the blood glucose test strip 501 stored in the storage cavity 102 enters the outside through the connecting port 104 and the transfer port 303.

[0043] Those skilled in the art of the present application will understand that the configuration of the transfer port 303 of the present application is not limited to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The transfer port 303 shown in the figure penetrates the turntable 301 along the thickness direction of the turntable 301, or the transfer port 303 can be a groove opened on the first rotating end surface 302, and the transfer port 303 does not penetrate the turntable 301, thereby preventing the blood glucose test strip 501 from passing through the turntable 301 through the transfer port 303.

[0044] Technicians in the technical field to which the present application belongs can understand that, since the blood glucose test strips 501 are arranged along their own thickness direction in the storage cavity 102, the depth of the transfer port 303 in the present application can be equal to the thickness of the blood glucose test strips 501, so that when the transfer port 303 passes through the connecting port 104, only one blood glucose test strip 501 can enter the transfer port 303, and rotate with the transfer port 303 around the working axis, reach the discharge port 106, and enter the outside through the discharge port 106. Of course, the depth of the transfer port 303 can be an integer multiple of the thickness of the blood glucose test strips 501, so as to control different numbers of blood glucose test strips 501 to enter the transfer port 303, and control the number of blood glucose test strips 501 discharged from the discharge port 106 at a time, so as to meet different usage requirements.

[0045] See also Figure 2In one embodiment of the present application, the turntable 301 has a first rotation direction 304; the first rotation end surface 302 is provided with a guide groove 305, the guide groove 305 extends along the first rotation direction 304, and has a starting end 306 and an ending end 307, the direction from the starting end 306 to the ending end 307 is opposite to the first rotation direction 304, and the groove depth of the guide groove 305 gradually increases along the direction from the starting end 306 to the ending end 307, see Fig.10 , and the end end 307 is connected with the transfer port 303, so that when the turntable 301 rotates, the starting end 306 is first connected with the connecting port 104, and then part of the single blood glucose test strip 501 gradually enters the guide groove 305 as the turntable 301 rotates. Since the end end 307 of the guide groove 305 is connected with the transfer port 303, finally, the blood glucose test strip 501 can all enter the transfer port 303 under the guiding action of the guide groove 305, thereby reducing the possibility of paper jam.

[0046] See also Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present application, the first rotating end face 302 is in contact with the mounting plane 103. On the one hand, this cooperation method can reduce the possibility of external dust and other pollutants entering the storage cavity 102 through the gap between the first rotating end face 302 and the mounting plane 103 and contaminating the blood glucose test strip 501 stored in the storage cavity 102. On the other hand, it can also reduce the external moisture from entering the storage cavity 102, thereby preventing moisture from affecting the accuracy of the blood glucose test strip 501.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, the storage component 101 also includes a dehumidification chamber for placing a desiccant, and the dehumidification chamber is connected to the storage chamber 102, so that the desiccant can absorb moisture in the storage chamber 102 to prevent moisture from affecting the accuracy of the blood glucose test strip 501.

[0048] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present application, the turntable 301 is provided with a plurality of transfer ports 303, and the plurality of transfer ports 303 are arranged in an array around the working axis, so that when the blood glucose test strip 501 enters a transfer port 303, after the transfer port 303 leaves the connecting port 104, the next blood glucose test strip 501 can enter the next transfer port 303 in the first rotation direction, and after the blood glucose test strip 501 enters the discharge port 106 from the transfer port 303, the idle transfer port 303 can rotate to the connecting port 104 and continue to transport the blood glucose test strip 501, thereby making full use of the transfer ports 303 by the rotation of the turntable 301; after the transfer port 303 leaves the connecting port 104, the intervals between the transfer ports 303 can block the connecting port 104 during the rotation process, thereby reducing the number of times the storage chamber 102 is connected to the outside world, and reducing the possibility of failure of the blood glucose test strip 501.

[0049] Preferably, each transfer port 303 is correspondingly provided with a guide groove 305 to guide the blood glucose test strip 501 when the blood glucose test strip 501 enters the transfer port 303 .

[0050] In one embodiment of the present application, the blood glucose test strip storage device also includes a closing member connected to the storage member 101, the closing member and the storage member 101 form an installation cavity, and the turntable 301 is arranged in the installation cavity, so that the installation cavity can reduce the contact between the turntable 301 and the outside world, which is conducive to keeping the turntable 301 clean.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present application, the blood glucose test strip storage device further includes a drive rod 402, see Figure 1 , Fig. 9 The driving rod 402 is coaxially arranged with the turntable 301 and is fixedly connected to the turntable 301. One end of the driving rod 402 is connected to the knob 401. When the present application is used, the medical staff can turn the knob 401 to drive the turntable 301 to rotate through the driving rod 402. The technicians in the technical field to which the present application belongs can understand that there are many ways to realize that the driving rod 402 drives the turntable 301 to rotate. For example, the driving rod 402 is cylindrical, the turntable 301 is provided with a mounting hole, and the driving rod 402 is interference-fitted with the mounting hole, so that the driving rod 402 drives the turntable 301 to rotate, or, see Figure 1 The cross section of the driving rod 402 is non-circular, and the shape of the mounting hole matches the cross section of the driving rod 402, so that the driving rod 402 drives the turntable 301 to rotate around the working axis.

[0052] See also Figure 6 , Fig. 9 In one embodiment of the present application, the blood glucose test strip storage device also includes a discharge tube 107 connected to the storage element 101 and a discharge platform 108 connected to the discharge tube 107. One end of the discharge tube 107 is connected to the discharge port 106, and the other end is connected to the discharge plane of the discharge platform 108. The blood glucose test strip 501 that falls into the discharge tube 107 can eventually move to the discharge plane and be stored on the discharge plane, making it convenient for medical staff to take the blood glucose test strip from the discharge platform 108.
