Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Blood glucose detector is also called blood glucose detector, which is a kind of intelligent electronic medical instrument for testing blood glucose index. Blood glucose detector mainly includes blood glucose meter, test paper and needle, needle is used to prick the ring finger to collect blood, test paper is used to absorb sample blood, and is connected to blood glucose meter, and blood glucose index is obtained by testing test paper.
[0003] Since the blood glucose detector needs to be sterilized by irradiation, it can be safely used, and the irradiation will cause some sensitive components in the detector to fail or be damaged, so it needs to be protected to shield the irradiation. Moreover, the wearable continuous blood glucose detector in the blood glucose detector needs to be worn for a long time, in order to reduce the influence on the user's daily life, the size is required to be smaller and smaller, and can adapt to long time work, generally more than 14 days. Since the antenna needs a larger size to achieve better radiation effect, this is contrary to the miniaturization requirement of the continuous blood glucose detection system; at the same time, the efficiency of the antenna directly affects the power consumption of the system, and improving the radiation efficiency of the antenna can ensure longer working time of the system.
[0004] In addition, the blood glucose detector in the related art usually realizes power on / off in the form of keys, which leads to large power consumption of the whole blood glucose detector, and the keys need to be set, which leads to the increase of the size of the product. Moreover, the design and layout of the battery will also affect the size and use time of the product.

[0045] The blood glucose meter 100 is used to measure the blood glucose level of a user or patient.
[0046] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 The diagram shows an exploded perspective view of the blood glucose meter.

The side plate 171 is arranged adjacent to the main control unit 12. The top plate 172 is located on the side of the main control unit 12 away from the printed circuit board 15. The bottom plate 173 and the top plate 172 are arranged on the same side of the two ends of the side plate 171, forming a concave structure. The bottom plate 173 is located on the side of the printed circuit board 15 away from the top plate 172, so that the top plate 172 and the bottom plate 173 are arranged on the two sides of the printed circuit board 15. The shielding assembly 17 forms a full-shielded shielding area to protect the main control unit 12 from at least part of the irradiation rays. In the embodiment, the top plate 172 is located directly above the main control unit 12, the bottom plate 173 is located directly below the main control unit 12, and the side plate 171 is located on one side of the main control unit 12, so as to surround the main control unit 12. When the irradiation rays are irradiated for sterilization, the side plate 171, the top plate 172, and the bottom plate 173 are shielded in the path of the irradiation rays, forming a full-shielded shielding area to protect the main control unit 12 inside, avoiding irradiation of the irradiation rays. The material of the shielding assembly 17 includes but is not limited to lead, stainless steel, tungsten, or other high-density polymers.
[0056] Specifically, in the embodiment, the top plate 172 is provided with a connecting portion 1721 connected to one end of the side plate 171 away from the bottom plate 173, and the bottom plate 173 is integrally formed with the side plate 171. The connecting portion 1721 and the side plate 171 are connected by welding, pressure bonding, or adhesive bonding. In this way, the side plate 171 can be first inserted through the printed circuit board 15, and then connected to the top plate 172, facilitating the production and assembly of the product.
[0057] In a modified embodiment, the top plate and the side plate can be integrally formed, and after being installed on the printed circuit board, the top plate is connected to the bottom plate.
[0058] In other embodiments, the top plate and the bottom plate can be respectively connected to the two ends of the side plate. After the side plate is installed on the printed circuit board, the bottom plate and the top plate are respectively connected to the two ends of the side plate.
[0059] In another embodiment, the top plate, the bottom plate, and the side plate are respectively arranged on the printed circuit board. Alternatively, one of the top plate and the bottom plate is connected to the side plate, and the other is separately arranged on the printed circuit board. As long as the three are arranged on three sides of the main control unit and can be shielded in the irradiation path of the irradiation rays to form a full-shielded shielding area to protect the main control unit, the arrangement is acceptable.
[0060] Specifically, please refer to Figures 4-6The printed circuit board 15 also has a second mounting position 152; the shielding assembly 17 is arranged at the second mounting position 152; specifically, the side plate 171 is arranged through the second mounting position 152. The second mounting position 152 is a hole penetrating the printed circuit board 15. Specifically, the second mounting position 152 is a substantially rectangular hole, the length of which is greater than or equal to 3 mm, and the width of which is greater than or equal to 1 mm. A substantially trapezoidal extension opening is arranged at each corner of the rectangular hole of the second mounting position 152, and the distance of the substantially trapezoidal extension opening along the length and width of the second mounting position 152 is greater than 0.15 mm.
[0061] Please refer to Figure 7 In the embodiment, the length of the top plate 172 is greater than 3.2 mm, the width is greater than 2.5 mm, and the thickness is greater than 0.3 mm; the width of the side plate 171 is greater than 0.5 mm, and the height is greater than 2 mm; the length of the bottom plate 173 is greater than 3 mm, the width is greater than 2 mm, and the thickness is greater than 0.15 mm.

In this way, the shielding assembly 17 can meet the shielding irradiation line requirement while being miniaturized.
[0062] Compared with the prior art, the control module 1 provided in the application realizes processing, conversion, and transmission of detection data to an external interactive device by arranging the master control unit 12, the wireless communication control unit 13, and the first antenna 14 on the printed circuit board 15, realizes efficient data processing, wireless communication, and data transmission, and facilitates analysis and management by using big data; and the shielding assembly 17 is arranged around three sides of the master control unit 12 to form a full-shield shielding area to protect the master control unit 12 to block the irradiation line, which can ensure omnidirectional shielding and blocking of the irradiation direction, thereby realizing omnidirectional protection of sensitive components during irradiation sterilization. The bottom plate 173 is integrally formed with the side plate 171, and then connected with the top plate 172, which facilitates the side plate 171 to penetrate the printed circuit board 15, thereby facilitating installation of the shielding assembly 17. The installation sequence is to first install the side plate 171 and the bottom plate 173, and then install the top plate 172, which facilitates production and assembly and improves production efficiency. In addition, the second antenna 11 is used to receive an NFC radio frequency signal, the master control unit 12 is electrically connected with the second antenna 11, and the master control unit 12 only starts to work after receiving the NFC radio frequency signal. When the external interactive device emits an NFC radio frequency signal to the second antenna 11, the master control unit 12 receives the NFC radio frequency signal and starts to work. Conversely, when the external interactive device does not emit an NFC radio frequency signal to the second antenna 11, the master control unit 12 is in a standby state, which realizes extremely low overall power consumption.

Of course, in other embodiments, only the battery module 16 can be used to shield and block the irradiation rays.
[0067] In this embodiment, the wireless communication control unit 13 also belongs to the sensitive unit and is easy to be damaged by irradiation rays, therefore, the wireless communication control unit 13 is arranged in the full-shield shielding area, specifically, the wireless communication control unit 13 is arranged in parallel with the master control unit 12 along the length direction of the second mounting position 152.

[0068] Specifically, in order to further reduce the volume of the control module 1, thereby realizing the miniaturization of the blood glucose meter 100, in this embodiment, the printed circuit board 15 is circular, and the battery module 16, the first mounting position 151, the sensor unit connector, the master control unit 12, and the wireless communication control unit 13 are sequentially arranged around the second mounting position 152. In this way, the layout design of the control module 1 can be more compact and smaller in size.
[0069] In order to further reasonably utilize the space of the printed circuit board 15 to reduce the volume, the two ends of the second antenna 11 are respectively connected to the master control unit 12 and form a ring arrangement area; specifically, the battery module 16, the first mounting position 151, the sensor unit connector 18, the master control unit 12, the wireless communication control unit 13, and the second mounting position 152 are all located in the ring arrangement area. In this way, the design facilitates the processing, conversion, and transmission of detection data between the second antenna 11 and the sensor unit 3, the master control unit 12, and the wireless communication control unit 13, realizes efficient data processing, wireless communication, and data transmission, and facilitates analysis and management using big data; and the second antenna 11, the sensor unit 3, the master control unit 12, the wireless communication control unit 13, and the shielding assembly 17 are arranged more compactly in the spatial structure, which can further reduce the overall size of the blood glucose meter 100, thereby miniaturizing the product.

In this way, the first antenna 14 and the second antenna 11 are arranged more compactly in terms of spatial structure, which can further reduce the overall size of the blood glucose meter 100, thereby miniaturizing the product.
[0072] Referring to Figures 4-6 and Figure 10 , the first antenna 14 is a steel sheet antenna; the steel sheet antenna includes an antenna body 141 arranged above the printed circuit board 15, and at least one feeding portion 142 connecting the antenna body 141 and the printed circuit board 15; the at least one feeding portion 142 is electrically connected to the wireless communication control unit 13 through a microstrip line. In this way, the first radio frequency signal output by the wireless communication control unit 13 is transmitted to the feeding portion 142 through the microstrip line, and then transmitted to the antenna body 141 by the feeding portion 142, for wireless transmission.
[0073] The microstrip line includes a line formed on the printed circuit board 15. The microstrip line is a transmission line form commonly used in microwave and millimeter wave frequency bands, characterized in that the electromagnetic field is mainly limited to a relatively thin dielectric layer, and the transmission and manipulation of electromagnetic waves are realized through three basic parts: a patch, a ground plate, and a dielectric substrate. In this embodiment, the characteristic impedance of the microstrip line is 50Ω. The electrical connection is realized through the microstrip line, which simplifies the layout and wiring between units, improves the stability of the circuit, reduces electromagnetic interference, optimizes frequency matching, and enhances the performance of the wireless communication device.
[0074] The at least one feeding portion 142 is provided with an antenna clearance. The antenna clearance refers to the space between the antenna and its surrounding objects, which is crucial to the performance of the antenna. The antenna clearance ensures that the antenna has enough space to avoid shielding or interference, and guarantees the omnidirectional communication effect of the first antenna 14. By providing the antenna clearance in the feeding portion 142, it can be ensured that the signal of the first antenna 14 is less hindered, thereby improving the transmission quality and coverage range of the signal of the first antenna 14. It is worth mentioning that the second antenna 11 and the first antenna 14 can be prearranged with sufficient antenna clearance on the printed circuit board 15 to avoid each other, so that the transmission efficiency of the second antenna 11 and the first antenna 14 can meet the requirements.

The first pin 142a and the second pin 142b are both ground feeding pins, the third pin 142c is an antenna feeding point, and the fourth pin 142d is either suspended or a ground feeding pin. In this embodiment, the tail of the antenna body 141 is suspended, thereby not interfering with the second antenna 11.
[0076] The first pin 142a and the second pin 142b are arranged close to the battery module 16. In this way, the electrical connection between the first pin 142a, the second pin 142b and the battery module 16 is facilitated, and the first pin 142a, the second pin 142b and the battery module 16 are arranged more compactly in terms of spatial structure, which can further reduce the overall size of the blood glucose meter 100, thereby miniaturizing the product.
[0077] The third pin 142c is arranged close to the wireless communication control unit 13 and is electrically connected to the wireless communication control unit 13 through a microstrip line. In this way, the electrical connection between the third pin 142c and the wireless communication control unit 13 is facilitated, and the third pin 142c and the wireless communication control unit 13 are arranged more compactly in terms of spatial structure, which can further reduce the overall size of the blood glucose meter 100, thereby miniaturizing the product.
[0078] The fourth pin 142d is arranged close to the main control unit 12. In this way, the electrical connection between the fourth pin 142d and the main control unit 12 is facilitated, and the fourth pin 142d and the main control unit 12 are arranged more compactly in terms of spatial structure, which can further reduce the overall size of the blood glucose meter 100, thereby miniaturizing the product.
[0079] The antenna clearance area includes a first clearance area 1a, and the third pin 142c is arranged in the first clearance area 1a. In this way, the first radio frequency signal output by the wireless communication control unit 13 can be less obstructed, thereby improving the transmission quality and coverage range of the first radio frequency signal.
[0080] The antenna clearance area also includes a second clearance area 1b; the fourth pin 142d is arranged in the second clearance area 1b. In this way, the NFC radio frequency signal received by the master control unit 12 can be less hindered, thereby improving the transmission quality and coverage of the NFC radio frequency signal.

Specifically, the first matching unit 1551 is a 33pF capacitor, the second matching unit 1552 is a 0Ω resistor, and the third matching unit 1553 is not welded.
