[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] like Figure 1As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a slot structure for quick connection of test strips for a blood glucose meter, comprising: a guide component 2, the guide component 2 including a mounting plate 201, the mounting plate 201 being disposed on one side of the blood glucose meter 1, a guide mechanism 202 being rotatably mounted on one end of the mounting plate 201, the guide mechanism 202 being correspondingly disposed with a test strip slot 3 at one end of the blood glucose meter 1; and a mounting component 4, the mounting component 4 being slidably mounted on the upper surface of the guide mechanism 202 for placing test strips, the mounting component 4 being disposed at the same horizontal level as the test strip slot 3.
[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, during use, rotate the guide mechanism 202 to position it at one end of the blood glucose meter 1, then begin blood collection by dripping blood onto the test strip. Next, open the mounting component 4 and place the test strip inside to secure it. Then, simply push the mounting component 4 to insert one end of the test strip into the test strip slot 3 to connect with the blood glucose meter 1. The guide mechanism 202 and the mounting component 4 work together to provide a positioning effect, avoiding manual insertion and facilitating test strip connection. This effectively solves the problem of elderly people with shaky hands being unable to insert the test strip into the slot 3, thus improving the usability of the blood glucose meter 1.
[0027] Furthermore, the guide mechanism 202 includes a guide plate 2021, the upper surface of which is provided with a groove 2024, and the mounting component 4 includes a placement seat 401, the lower surface of which is provided with a slider 402, which is slidably mounted inside the groove 2024.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the slider 402 is slidably installed inside the slide groove 2024, which allows the placement seat 401 to slide on the upper surface of the guide plate 2021, thereby facilitating the guidance and positioning of the test paper and improving the installation speed.
[0029] Furthermore, both ends of the upper surface of the guide plate 2021 are provided with protruding plates 2022, and a pull plate 2023 is provided between the protruding plates 2022. A screw 2025 is provided at one end of the pull plate 2023, and the screw 2025 is correspondingly provided with the slider 402.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, screws 2025 are used to connect and fix the two sets of sliders 402 to both ends of the pull plate 2023. In use, simply pull the pull plate 2023, and the pull plate 2023 slides inside the convex plate 2022 to push the placement seat 401 to slide, thereby achieving the effect of providing support and making it convenient to apply force when using.
[0031] Furthermore, a fixing block 2026 is provided on the upper surface of the guide plate 2021, and a slot is provided at one end of the fixing block 2026. A locking block 2027 is provided at one end of the pull plate 2023, and the locking block 2027 engages with the slot.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the card block 2027 engages with the card slot, the placement seat 401 has reached the designated position. At this time, the test paper is just aligned with the test paper slot 3, thus avoiding excessive movement that could cause the test paper to be squeezed and deformed.
[0033] Furthermore, a rotating shaft 204 is provided at one end of the guide plate 2021, and protrusions are provided on both sides of one end of the mounting plate 201. Two sets of protrusions are sleeved on both ends of the rotating shaft 204. A limit nut 205 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 204. An adhesive plate 203 is provided on the lower surface of the mounting plate 201, and an adhesive strip 206 is provided on the lower surface of the guide plate 2021. The adhesive strip 206 is bonded to the adhesive plate 203.
[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the guide plate 2021 can rotate at one end of the mounting plate 201 via the pivot 204. In use, simply unfold the guide plate 2021. After unfolding, tighten the limiting nut 205. The limiting nut 205 is inserted into one side of the protrusion to limit the pivot 204, preventing it from sliding. When not in use, the guide plate 2021 can be retracted to one side of the mounting plate 201. At this time, the adhesive strip 206 aligns with the adhesive plate 203 to fix the guide plate 2021, thus achieving the effect of conveniently unfolding and storing the guide plate 2021 and avoiding affecting the portability.
[0035] Furthermore, the upper surface of the placement seat 401 is set at the same level as the test paper slot 3. A cover plate 403 is rotatably installed on the upper surface of the placement seat 401. Limiting mechanisms are provided at both ends of the lower surface of the cover plate 403. An iron plate is provided at one end of the cover plate 403, and an electromagnet is provided at one end of the placement seat 401. The iron plate and the electromagnet are arranged in a corresponding manner.
[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, when in use, open the cover plate 403, place the test strip on the upper surface of the placement seat 401, and then close the cover plate 403. At this time, the lower surface of the limiting mechanism will press down on the test strip to fix it and prevent the test strip from moving during operation, thus achieving the effect of conveniently placing the test strip. The cover plate 403 is fixed in this way through the cooperation of the electromagnet and the iron plate.
[0037] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes two sets of telescopic rods 405. One end of the piston rod of the telescopic rod 405 is provided with a pressure plate 404. The pressure plate 404 is correspondingly provided with the placement seat 401. The telescopic rod 405 is provided with a telescopic spring 406 inside.
[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the pressure plate 404 is in contact with the placement surface of the placement seat 401. Therefore, when the test strip is placed on the placement seat 401, the pressure plate 404 will contact the test strip and fix it. It should be noted that a telescopic spring 406 is provided inside the telescopic rod 405. Therefore, when the test strip is in contact, one end of the piston rod of the telescopic rod 405 can move to avoid excessive squeezing of the test strip and damage to the test strip.
[0039] The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
