[0054] The test strip box is installed in the installation cavity 81 of the urine testing device 80, wherein a detection port 82 is provided on the inner wall of the toilet bowl 83, and the bracket 20 can move forward and backward and pass through the detection port 82, so that the test strip is placed in the urine shower position. The rear end of the shell 10 is located next to the detection port 82, and the outer peripheral edge of the rear end of the shell 10 is sealed and connected to the installation cavity 81 through the second sealing member 16, so that the installation cavity 81 forms a sealed cavity. When performing urine testing, the second sealing member 16 is used to prevent urine in the toilet bowl 83 from entering the installation cavity 81 from the detection port 82, so as to avoid damage to the urine testing device 80.

[0055] A snap-fit ​​groove 18 is provided on the periphery of the shell 10, and correspondingly, a hook that cooperates with the snap-fit ​​groove 18 is provided in the installation cavity 81. When the shell 10 is inserted into the installation cavity 81 and installed in place, the hook is snap-fitted with the snap-fit ​​groove 18, which can prevent the test strip box from falling out of the installation cavity 81.

[0056] Guide ribs 14 are provided on both sides of the housing 10 , and a slide groove (not shown) is provided in the mounting cavity 81 , in which the guide ribs 14 can slide, so that the housing 10 can guide the test paper box to move during the urine testing process.

[0057] refer to Figures 2 to 6 The test strip box further includes a driving member 70 , and the driving member 70 is connected to the front end of the bracket 20 .

[0058] Through holes 13 for the bracket 20 to pass through are provided at both the front and rear ends of the shell 10. The driving member 70 can drive the bracket 20 to move forward or backward along the force direction A, and the bracket 20 can move relative to the shell 10 so that the inner cavity is in a sealed state or an unsealed state. For example, during the movement of the bracket 20 along the force direction A, the inner cavity can be switched from a unsealed state to a sealed state; during the reverse movement, the inner cavity can be switched from a sealed state to an unsealed state. It should be noted here that the force direction A is the direction in which the driving member moves the test paper box away from the toilet bowl 83. For details, please refer to Fig.10 .

[0059] In one example, the rear end of the bracket 20 is in an inverted D shape, an anti-fouling plane 26 is provided on the rear end of the bracket 20, the through hole 13 at the rear end of the shell 10 is also in an inverted D shape, the rear end of the bracket 20 is matched with the through hole 13 at the rear end of the shell 10, and a blocking portion 17 is provided at the rear end of the shell 10. When dirt is stained on the anti-fouling plane 26, the dirt on the anti-fouling plane 26 can be pushed away by the blocking portion 17 on the shell 10 during the process of inserting the bracket 20 into the inner cavity along the force application direction A.

[0060] The connection between the driving member 70 and the bracket 20 is provided with an anti-slip bevel 72 and an anti-slip rib 71, and correspondingly, the bracket 20 is provided with a matching bevel 24 and a matching rib 23. The anti-slip bevel 72 cooperates with the matching bevel 24, and the anti-slip rib 71 cooperates with the matching rib 23, which are used to limit the separation of the driving member 70 and the bracket 20.

[0061] In one example, if Figure 2 As shown, the anti-slip rib 71 is arranged on the driving member 70, and the matching rib 23 is arranged at the front end of the bracket 20. The lower surface of the anti-slip rib 71 can abut against the upper surface of the matching rib 23 to prevent the driving member 70 from falling down and avoid the driving member 70 and the bracket 20 from being unhooked.

[0062] In one example, if Figure 6 As shown, the mating bevel 24 is arranged on the bracket 20, and the anti-slip bevel 72 is arranged on the driving member 70. The mating bevel 24 is inclined toward the front end so that the bracket 20 forms a groove recessed toward the front end at the mating bevel 24. The anti-slip bevel 72 is arranged at a similar angle (less than 90 degrees) to the mating bevel 24. In this way, when the driving member 70 applies force in the force direction A, there is a component force in the opposite direction of the unhooking direction B of the driving member 70, so that the driving member 70 is not easy to unhook when the bracket 20 is pulled forward.

[0063] refer to Figure 2 A limiting surface 15 is provided at the bottom of the rear end of the shell 10. When the driving member 70 drives the bracket 20 to move forward, when the protrusion at the bottom of the bracket 20 abuts against the limiting surface 15, the bracket 20 cannot continue to move forward, indicating that the inner cavity is in a sealed state.
