[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Example

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a test strip conveying mechanism, which includes: a base 1, two conveyor belts 3, and a telescopic blocking assembly 6. The base 1 consists of a base plate and two side plates surrounding both sides of the base plate, thus giving the base 1 a U-shaped cross-section. Additionally, a driving assembly is provided on the base 1; specifically, the driving assembly includes two rotating shafts 2 respectively installed between the two side plates of the base 1, and a motor connected to either rotating shaft 2. The two rotating shafts 2 are located at the front and rear ends of the base 1, respectively. The two conveyor belts 3 are connected in parallel between the two rotating shafts 2. When the motor drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, the two conveyor belts 3 rotate synchronously. In specific installation, the conveyor belts 3 can be mounted on the rotating shafts 2 via pulleys.

[0026] The telescopic blocking assembly 6 is telescopically mounted on the base plate of the base 1 and located between the two conveyor belts 3. When the telescopic blocking assembly 6 is extended, its upper end is higher than the conveyor belt 3, thus blocking the test strip behind it.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the telescopic blocking assembly 6 includes an electric telescopic rod 61, a crossbar 62 disposed on the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 61, and stop bars 63 respectively disposed at both ends of the crossbar 62. The crossbar 62 extends along the width direction of the base 1, so that the two stop bars 63 can block the front of both ends of the test strip 8 after rising, thereby reducing the tilt angle of the test strip 8. Figure 1 As shown.

[0028] In a specific setup, a detection sensor can be installed on the base, positioned between the two conveyor belts. This sensor detects the position of the test strip. When the sensor detects a forward-moving test strip, it controls the telescopic blocking component 6 to extend, blocking the strip at its upper end and keeping it relatively straight. After a set time, the telescopic blocking component 6 retracts, allowing the test strip to continue moving forward. The controller that controls the telescopic rod's movement based on the detected position signal and the set time is existing, mature technology and will not be described further.

[0029] In addition, such as Figure 1 , 2As shown, the conveying belt 3 is provided with a plurality of limiting protrusions 4 along the length direction thereof, and a placing position 5 for placing a test strip is formed between two adjacent limiting protrusions 4; the placing positions 5 on the two conveying belts 3 are aligned one by one. As shown, Figure 3 As shown, the limiting protrusion 4 is provided with a limiting socket 41 on the side thereof facing the conveying direction; the test strip is stopped from moving forward by the telescopic blocking assembly 6, and the conveying belt 3 continues to move forward, and finally the edge of the test strip is clamped into the limiting socket 41.

[0030] By the above structure, during use, the test strip to be analyzed is placed in the placing position 5 on the side of the initial end of the conveying belt 3, and the two ends of the test strip are respectively located in the corresponding placing positions 5 on the two conveying belts 3; since the test strip cannot be ensured to be placed flat during the placing process, the telescopic blocking assembly 6 is extended and blocked in front of the test strip during the forward transmission of the test strip, the inclination angle of the test strip is reduced, and the edge of the test strip is clamped into the limiting socket 41, and then the telescopic blocking assembly 6 is retracted, and the test strip continues to move forward along with the conveying belt 3. The clamping of the edge of the test strip into the limiting socket 41 can play a fixing role, preventing the test strip from being deviated when the telescopic blocking assembly 6 is retracted. There is a gap between the upper wall of the limiting socket 41 and the test strip, which does not hinder the test strip from falling off when the test strip moves to the end of the conveying belt 3.

[0031] In implementation, the width of the placing position 5 is greater than the width of the test strip, so as to facilitate the test strip to be placed in the placing position 5 during the rotation of the conveying belt 3. Since the width of the placing position 5 is greater than the width of the test strip, the placed test strip can be inclined, and thus the telescopic blocking assembly 6 is used to adjust the position of the test strip and reduce the inclination angle of the test strip. It should be noted that, since the inclination angles of the placed test strips are different, the telescopic blocking assembly 6 cannot adjust all the test strips to be flat within the set extension time, but can reduce the inclination angle of the test strip with a large inclination angle, so that the inclination state of the test strip meets the subsequent analysis requirements.

[0032] In addition, as shown, Figure 1 The base 1 is provided with a baffle 7 on the side of the initial end of the conveying belt 3. The test strip is placed on the conveying belt, and the end of the test strip abuts against the baffle 7, the test strip is limited by the baffle 7, and the positions of the placed test strips across the two conveying belts 3 are basically the same, as shown, Figure 1 .

[0033] It should be noted that, all the features disclosed in the present specification, or the steps in all the disclosed methods or processes, can be combined in any manner, except that the features and / or steps that are mutually exclusive cannot be combined.

[0034] In addition, the above specific embodiments are exemplary, and those skilled in the art can think of various solutions under the inspiration of the disclosure of the utility model, and these solutions also belong to the disclosed range of the utility model and fall within the protection scope of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model specification and its drawings are all illustrative and do not constitute a limitation on the claims. The protection scope of the utility model is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
