Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a blood glucose test strip ejector box. Background Technology

[0002] Blood glucose test strips are used in conjunction with blood glucose meters. When using them, one end of the blood glucose test strip needs to be inserted into the blood glucose meter, and a drop of blood is placed on the other end of the blood glucose test strip. This way, the amount of glucose present in the blood can be detected by observing the color change.

[0003] Most existing blood glucose test strips are stored in plastic bottles. When testing blood glucose, you need to reach into the bottle to take out the test strip, which can easily cause contamination of the test strip. Therefore, there is a need for a blood glucose test strip ejector box that does not require opening the test strip box or touching the test strip during the process of taking out the test strip, thus avoiding contamination of the test strip and affecting the test results. Utility Model Content

[0004] The summary section of this application is intended to provide a brief overview of the concepts, which will be described in detail in the detailed description section below. This summary section is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed technical solutions, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solutions.

[0005] To address the technical problems mentioned in the background section above, some embodiments of this application provide a blood glucose test strip ejector box, including a box body, a storage mechanism disposed on the box body, a limiting mechanism disposed on the box body, and an ejection mechanism disposed on the box body; the ejection mechanism includes a first slide groove fixedly disposed on the box body, a second slide groove fixedly disposed on the box body, a third slide groove fixedly disposed on the box body, a disengagement component slidably disposed on the first slide groove, the second slide groove, and the third slide groove, a fourth slide groove fixedly disposed on the box body, and a push-out component slidably disposed on the fourth slide groove.

[0006] Specifically, the detachment assembly includes a pressing block fixedly mounted on a first sliding groove, a first connecting rod slidably mounted on a second sliding groove and fixedly mounted on the pressing block, a second connecting rod slidably mounted on a third sliding groove and fixedly mounted on the pressing block, a filling plate fixedly mounted on the other end of the first connecting rod, an ejector rod fixedly mounted on the other end of the second connecting rod, and a plurality of first springs with one end fixedly mounted on the pressing block and the other end fixedly mounted on the box body.

[0007] Specifically, the ejection assembly includes an inclined block fixed on the box body, an ejection block slidably disposed on the fourth slide groove, a fifth slide groove fixed on the ejection block, a friction block slidably disposed on the fifth slide groove, a second spring fixed at one end on the friction block and at the other end on the ejection block, and a dustproof sheet symmetrically fixed on the fourth slide groove.

[0008] Specifically, the storage mechanism includes a first mounting groove fixedly disposed on the box body, a second mounting groove fixedly disposed on the box body, a storage box slidably disposed on the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove, a first through groove fixedly disposed on the storage box, a second through groove fixedly disposed on the storage box, a pressure plate slidably disposed on the storage box, and a plurality of third springs with one end fixedly disposed on the pressure plate and the other end fixedly disposed on the storage box.

[0009] Specifically, the limiting mechanism includes a sixth sliding groove fixed on the box body, a seventh sliding groove fixed on the box body, a limiting block slidably disposed on the sixth sliding groove and the second through groove, a third connecting rod symmetrically fixed on the limiting block and penetrating the box body, an unlocking plate fixed on the other end of the third connecting rod and slidably disposed on the seventh sliding groove, and a fourth spring fixed on one end of the limiting block and on the unlocking plate at the other end.

[0010] Specifically, the box body is fixedly provided with protrusions; the storage box is fixedly provided with clearance grooves.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] (1) During use, the hands do not need to touch the test strip; when the pressing block is pressed, the pressing block pushes one end of the test strip upward through the second connecting rod, pushes the push-out block, and the push-out block drives the friction block to move. When the friction block passes the inclined block, the second spring pushes the friction block downward to contact the pushed-out test strip. The pressure of the second spring increases the friction between the friction block and the test strip. Then, the push-out block is pushed to push the test strip part out of the box through friction. The test strip can be directly inserted into the blood glucose meter. The hands do not need to touch the test strip, thus avoiding contamination of the test strip.

[0013] (2) A limiting mechanism is provided. The limiting mechanism can limit the storage box and push out part of the test strips from the storage box. The pushed-out test strips are tilted, so one end of the test strip will be misaligned, which makes it easier to detach from the component and push out the top test strip.

[0014] (3) The box body is provided with a protrusion and a slope. After the test strip is placed in the storage box, in order to avoid the test strips sticking together and being unable to be pushed out, the protrusion is provided. When the storage box is pushed into the first installation groove and the second installation groove, the protrusion will contact the side of the test strip in the storage box and squeeze the test strip from the side, making the test strip slightly bent. After passing the position of the protrusion, it will return to a flat state, thereby avoiding the test strips from sticking together. Attached Figure Description

[0027] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-5As shown, the present invention provides a blood glucose test strip ejector box, comprising a box body 1, a storage mechanism 2 disposed on the box body, a limiting mechanism 3 disposed on the box body, and an ejection mechanism 4 disposed on the box body; the ejection mechanism includes a first sliding groove 41 fixedly disposed on the box body, a second sliding groove 42 fixedly disposed on the box body, a third sliding groove 43 fixedly disposed on the box body, a disengagement component 44 slidably disposed on the first sliding groove, the second sliding groove, and the third sliding groove, a fourth sliding groove 45 fixedly disposed on the box body, and an ejection component 46 slidably disposed on the fourth sliding groove; the box body is also provided with a slot, from which the test strip is ejected.

[0029] Specifically, the release assembly includes a pressing block 441 fixedly mounted on a first sliding groove, a first connecting rod 442 slidably mounted on a second sliding groove and fixedly mounted on the pressing block, a second connecting rod 443 slidably mounted on a third sliding groove and fixedly mounted on the pressing block, a filling plate 444 fixedly mounted on the other end of the first connecting rod, an ejector rod 445 fixedly mounted on the other end of the second connecting rod, and a plurality of first springs 446 with one end fixedly mounted on the pressing block and the other end fixedly mounted on the box body. In the initial state, under the action of the limiting mechanism, one end of a single test strip is located above the ejector rod. When the pressing block is pressed, the pressing block pushes one end of the test strip upward through the second connecting rod, and then the test strip is ejected by the ejection assembly.

[0030] Specifically, the ejection assembly includes a ramp 461 fixedly mounted on the housing, an ejection block 462 slidably mounted on a fourth slide groove, a fifth slide groove 463 fixedly mounted on the ejection block, a friction block 464 slidably mounted on the fifth slide groove, a second spring 465 fixed at one end on the friction block and at the other end on the ejection block, and a dustproof sheet 466 symmetrically fixed on the fourth slide groove. The ramp facilitates the ejection and repositioning of the friction block. The lower part of the ramp contacts the test strip, and in conjunction with the ejection rod, it can limit the number of test strips ejected, preventing the friction block from ejecting multiple test strips simultaneously. When the pressing block pushes one end of the test strip upward, it pushes the ejection block, which in turn moves the friction block. When the friction block passes the ramp, the second spring pushes the friction block downward, making contact with the ejected test strip. The pressure of the second spring increases the friction between the friction block and the test strip. Then, the ejection block is pushed further, and the friction pushes part of the test strip out of the housing, allowing the test strip to be directly inserted into the blood glucose meter without the need for hand contact, thus avoiding contamination of the test strip.

[0031] Specifically, the storage mechanism includes a first mounting slot 21 fixedly mounted on the box body, a second mounting slot 22 fixedly mounted on the box body, a storage box 23 slidably mounted on the first and second mounting slots, a first through slot 24 fixedly mounted on the storage box, a second through slot 25 fixedly mounted on the storage box, a pressure plate 26 slidably mounted on the storage box, and multiple third springs 27 with one end fixed to the pressure plate and the other end fixed to the storage box. The first and second mounting slots are respectively located on both sides, with more second mounting slots than first mounting slots, which facilitates installation and avoids incorrect installation orientation. The second through slot cooperates with the limiting mechanism to push the test paper, while the limiting mechanism limits the storage box through the second through slot. The pressure plate and the third spring can push the test paper in the storage box, and the third spring has a small elastic force.

[0032] Specifically, the limiting mechanism includes a sixth sliding groove 31 fixedly mounted on the box body, a seventh sliding groove 32 fixedly mounted on the box body, a limiting block 33 slidably mounted on the sixth sliding groove and the second through groove, a third connecting rod 34 symmetrically fixed on the limiting block and penetrating the box body, an unlocking plate 35 fixedly mounted on the other end of the third connecting rod and slidably mounted on the seventh sliding groove, and a fourth spring 36 fixed at one end on the limiting block and at the other end on the unlocking plate; the box body is provided with an inclined surface, which has the same inclination angle as the inclined surface on the limiting block; the limiting block is provided with an inclined surface, and the limiting block passes through the second through groove to push out part of the test strip from the storage box. The pushed-out test strip is in an inclined shape, so one end of the test strip will be misaligned, which facilitates the detachment component and the push-out component to push out the topmost test strip.

[0033] Specifically, the box body is fixedly provided with a protrusion 28; the storage box is fixedly provided with a relief groove 29; the protrusion is provided with a slope. After the test strip is placed in the storage box, in order to avoid the test strips sticking together and being unable to be pushed out, the protrusion is provided. When the storage box is pushed into the first installation groove and the second installation groove, the protrusion will contact the side of the test strip in the storage box and squeeze the test strip from the side, making the test strip slightly bent. After passing the position of the protrusion, it will return to a flat state, thereby avoiding the test strips from sticking together.
