Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical device production equipment, and particularly relates to a transfer mechanism for cutting blood glucose test strips. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous progress of medical technology and the improvement of people's health awareness, blood glucose monitoring devices are increasingly widely used. Especially in the daily management of diabetic patients, blood glucose monitoring has become an indispensable tool. As an important consumable for blood glucose monitors, blood glucose test strips are used frequently, so higher requirements are put forward for the production efficiency and quality control of test strips.

[0003] In the prior art, the production of blood glucose test strips usually requires preliminary cutting of large-sized test strip samples to form small portions suitable for single blood glucose monitoring. However, the existing transfer and cutting methods mainly rely on manual operation. Specifically, the operator needs to manually fix the large test strip samples and transfer them one by one to the cutting machine for cutting. This method has obvious limitations. First of all, since the transfer and positioning of each large test strip sample need to be completed manually, the overall production process is slow and cannot meet the requirements of large-scale production. Especially in a production environment with high output and short cycle, it is difficult to maintain stable and efficient production with manual operation. In addition, manual transfer not only requires a large amount of labor input, but also requires highly skilled technicians to ensure the accurate positioning of the large test strip samples during the transfer process. This manual-dependent method increases the production cost to a certain extent, and the continuous stability of manual operation is difficult to guarantee. In particular, during the transfer process, the fixing and positioning accuracy of the large test strip samples are crucial for the subsequent cutting quality. Due to inevitable manual operation errors, problems such as deviation and sliding are likely to occur during the transfer process of the large test strip samples, which will affect the cutting accuracy, resulting in irregular test strips or size deviations, and affecting their detection effect and service life.

[0004] In summary, the existing manual transfer method is difficult to meet the requirements of modern blood glucose test strip production for high efficiency, precision, and large-scale production. With the continuous increase in the market demand for high-quality blood glucose test strips, it is urgent to design a transfer mechanism for cutting blood glucose test strips.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through examples. The following examples are provided to explain the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0024] Example: Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, a transfer mechanism for cutting blood glucose test strips is involved, which is specifically used for efficient transfer and precise positioning operations in the automated cutting process of blood glucose test strips. Specifically, it includes an input component 11 and a transfer component 12.

[0025] The input device is composed of two groups of pressure rollers 13, and one group of pressure rollers 13 is driven by a first driving component 14 to rotate. The test strip sample is first fixed between the two groups of pressure rollers 13 and is conveyed to the transfer device under the rotation of the pressure rollers 13. Through the continuous movement of the pressure rollers 13, the test strip sample can be accurately and stably introduced into the transfer component 12, thus avoiding the problem of test strip slippage that may be caused by manual operation. This design not only improves the conveying accuracy but also ensures the continuity and reliability of the subsequent transfer and cutting processes.

[0026] The transfer device is composed of two groups of transfer units 15. The transfer unit 15 includes a clamping block 16 and a second driving component 17 that drives the clamping block 16 to move. The clamping block 16 clamps the edge of the test strip sample and, under the drive of the second driving component 17, smoothly conveys the test strip from the pressure rollers 13 to the cutting device 18. The design of the transfer unit 15 makes the entire transfer process fully automated without manual intervention, ensuring the position stability of the test strip during the conveying process.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first driving component 14 drives one group of pressure rollers 13 to rotate at a set speed (which needs to be coordinated with the cutting speed of the cutting device 18 in practice) and cooperates with the other group of pressure rollers 13 to firmly clamp and convey the test strip forward, ensuring the uniform stability during the test strip conveying process and avoiding misalignment or sliding of the test strip when entering the transfer component 12. The clamping block 16 is an electromagnetic clamping block 16. When the input component 11 feeds the test strip, the electromagnetic clamping blocks 16 of the two clamping units are energized to clamp the two side edges of the test strip, and the clamping block 16 is driven by the second driving component 17 to feed the test strip into the cutting device 18 at the same speed as the input component 11. After the conveying is completed, the clamping block 16 is de-energized and released, and the second driving component 17 drives the clamping block 16 to retreat again to perform the transfer operation of the next test strip sample 19.

[0028] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In this embodiment, the first driving component 14 is a first driving motor 21, which is connected to the pressure roller 13 in the input component 11 through its driving shaft, and directly drives the rotation of the pressure roller 13, thereby realizing the transmission of the test paper. The second driving component 17 includes a synchronous belt 22, which is a key component for driving the clamping block 16 in the transfer unit 15 to move. The synchronous belt 22 is sleeved on two pulleys 23, one of which is connected to the second driving motor 24 through a transmission shaft. Through the operation of the second driving motor 24, the synchronous belt 22 moves in a directional manner on the pulley 23, thereby driving the clamping block 16 to move smoothly along a predetermined path.

[0029] A support plate 31 is provided between the two groups of transfer units 15. The support plate 31 is used to support the test paper sample 19. The support plate 31 is provided with a guide groove 32 that is slidably adapted to the clamp block 16. The clamp block 16 passes through the guide groove 32 from the bottom of the support plate 31 and is driven by the second driving component 17 to slide along the guide groove 32. The clamp block 16 in this embodiment is provided with an anti-skid rubber pad 33. The anti-skid rubber pad 33 contacts the test paper when clamping. The support plate 31 is a smooth surface. In the process of the transfer component 12 conveying the test paper sample 19, the test paper sample 19 moves synchronously with the clamp block 16 and slides relative to the support plate 31.

[0030] In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism also includes a flattening component 4, which is designed to properly flatten the surface of the test paper before the test paper is transferred to the cutting device 18 to ensure the flatness of the test paper, thereby improving the cutting accuracy. Specifically, the flattening component 4 includes two groups of pressing plates 41, and the two groups of pressing plates 41 are respectively fixed on the crossbar 42. The crossbar 42 is driven to rotate by the third driving component 43. When the flattening action needs to be performed, the third driving component 43 drives the crossbar 42 to rotate, so that the pressing plate 41 swings to the top of the support plate 31, and then contacts the surface of the test paper. When the pressing plate 41 contacts the surface of the test paper, the test paper sample 19 can be properly flattened to eliminate the wrinkles or irregular deformations that may occur in the test paper during the transportation process. This design ensures that the test paper sample 19 is in a flat state before entering the cutting device 18, which helps to improve the cutting accuracy and consistency of the finished product.

[0031] See also Figure 5 The third driving component 43 includes a third driving motor 51, the driving shaft of the third driving motor 51 is connected to the cross bar 42 through a gear transmission mechanism 52, and both ends of the cross bar 42 are rotatably connected to the side plate 25. The gear transmission mechanism 52 includes a first bevel gear 27 fixed to the driving shaft of the third driving motor 51 and a second bevel gear 28 fixed to the cross bar 42. The torque of the third driving motor 51 is transmitted to the pressure plate 41 through the mutual meshing of the two bevel gears, thereby realizing the flipping of the pressure plate 41.

[0032] See alsoFigure 6 Above the support plate 31, two groups of limiting guide plates 61 are obliquely arranged, enabling the limiting guide plates 61 to guide the sides of the test strip, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of offset or tilt of the test strip during the transfer process. The distance between the two groups of limiting guide plates 61 matches the width of the test strip, which can not only play a limiting role but also not hinder the normal transmission of the test strip.

[0033] At the lower end of the side plate 25, a bending part 62 is provided. The design of the bending part 62 not only enhances the structural stability of the side plate 25 but also provides a convenient connection position for installing other components. Specifically, above the bending part 62, it is fixedly connected to the support plate 31, forming a stable support structure to ensure that the support plate 31 remains stable during the transfer of the test strip. Through the above design, the close combination of the second driving component 17 and the bending part 62 improves the stability of the transmission system. At the same time, the structural design of the bending part 62 not only enhances the strength of the side plate 25 but also optimizes the layout of the components, making the entire device more compact and saving space.
