[0002] Currently, most blood glucose test strip storage containers used in clinical practice are bottle-cap designs. This traditional container has significant drawbacks in practical use. Blood glucose testing requires the simultaneous use of test strips, lancets, and a blood glucose meter, but only one test strip is needed per test. Due to the small size of the test strips, medical staff frequently open the cap and reach in to retrieve them, making it difficult to ensure that only one test strip is touched each time. This repeated handling also increases the risk of contamination of the test strips inside the container. Especially when testing multiple patients, cross-infection due to contamination is easily possible. Even if the test strips are for individual use only, after a patient recovers and is discharged, any remaining test strips cannot be safely transferred to subsequent patients due to potential contamination, resulting in a waste of medical resources.

[0033] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The test strip dispensing device provided in this application embodiment will now be described. This test strip dispensing device includes a base 100, a housing 200, and a dispensing mechanism; the housing 200 is detachably connected to the base 100, and one end of the housing 200 has an opening 201 (e.g., ...). Figure 8 As shown), the opening 201 faces the base 100; the box 200 is used to store the test strip 400, and the box 200 is provided with a paper outlet slot 202; the ejection mechanism includes a paddle 301 and a driving member, the paddle 301 is slidably disposed on the base 100, and the height of the paddle 301 protruding from the upper surface of the base 100 is less than or equal to the thickness of a test strip 400; the driving member is used to drive the paddle 301 to move on the base 100; the paddle 301 has a first position and a second position (e.g., ...). Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown), in the first position, the test strip 400 is stacked on the lever 301; in the second position, the test strip 400 falls onto the upper surface of the base 100, and the lever 301 is located on the side of the test strip 400. Pushing the lever 301 from the second position to the first position causes the test strip 400 to move out of the paper outlet 202.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the test strip dispensing device provided in this application, by setting up a push-out mechanism, and ensuring that the height of the paddle 301 protruding from the upper surface of the base 100 is less than or equal to the thickness of a test strip 400, ensures that only one test strip 400 is pushed out at a time, and the ejected test strip 400 cannot be pushed back into the device. This effectively avoids contamination of other test strips 400 inside the box 200 by the already touched test strip 400, and also completely eliminates the possibility of fingers touching the remaining test strips 400, effectively avoiding contamination caused by human operation, greatly reducing the probability of contamination, ensuring the sterility of the test strips 400, and reducing waste caused by contamination of the test strips 400, thus achieving efficient utilization of medical resources. The box 200 and the base 100 are detachably connected. After the test strips 400 are used up, the box 200 and the base 100 can be easily separated for cleaning or replenishment of new test strips 400, achieving reuse and improving the practicality and convenience of the device.

[0035] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 6 The base 100 includes a seat body 101 and a partition 102. The partition 102 covers the seat body 101, and a receiving cavity is formed between the seat body 101 and the partition 102. The driving member is disposed in the receiving cavity.

[0036] In this embodiment, by placing the drive component inside the receiving cavity, the overall structure of the device becomes more compact and reasonable, preventing the drive component from being exposed to external factors and effectively protecting it, thus extending its service life. At the same time, the design of the receiving cavity facilitates the installation, debugging, and maintenance of the drive component. When the drive component malfunctions, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire device; simply opening the partition 102 allows for inspection and repair of the drive component, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0037] In one embodiment of this application, a groove is provided on the partition 102, the groove passes through the partition 102, and the paddle 301 is slidably connected in the groove.

[0038] In this embodiment, the slide groove provides precise guidance for the sliding of the paddle 301, making its movement on the base 100 more stable and smooth, ensuring the reliability and consistency of the test strip 400 ejection process. The paddle 301 moves along the slide groove without deviation or wobbling, effectively avoiding the problem of ejecting multiple test strips 400 or failing to eject test strips 400 properly due to paddle 301 misalignment. This further ensures the stability of the function of ejecting only one test strip 400 at a time, providing strong protection for the aseptic use of the test strip 400. At the same time, this structural design is simple, easy to manufacture and install, reducing the production cost and assembly difficulty of the device.

[0039] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 7 The box body 200 has a feeding port 203 at one end away from the base 100, which is used to put test paper 400 into the box body 200.

[0040] When test strips 400 need to be replenished, the operator can directly insert them into the box 200 through the feed port 203 without disassembling other parts, making the operation very convenient. The feed port 203 is reasonably positioned, which not only facilitates the operator's insertion operation but also ensures the relative airtightness of the box 200, minimizing the risk of contamination of the test strips 400 from the external environment.

[0041] In this embodiment, taking the storage of blood glucose test strips as an example, the capacity of the box 200 can match the number of blood glucose test strips in a whole box on the market, ensuring that the box 200 can completely store commonly used test strips without splitting or leaving any, thus avoiding storage chaos and making full use of space, providing users with a standardized and convenient storage experience.

[0042] In this embodiment, the size of the feeding port 203 can be designed according to the size of common test strips 400, facilitating dispensing while preventing it from being too large and causing poor sealing. Furthermore, the edges of the feeding port 203 can be rounded to prevent scratching the test strip 400 during dispensing, thus affecting detection accuracy. For different types of test strips 400, such as pH test strips and pregnancy test strips, the device can maintain its basic structure, but the size and capacity of the housing 200 can be adjusted according to the size of the test strip 400 and common packaging specifications to meet diverse needs. Regarding materials, the housing 200 and base 100 can be made of medical-grade plastic. This material meets the hygiene standards for medical supplies, possesses sufficient strength and durability, is not easily damaged, and can be used for a long time. Simultaneously, medical-grade plastic is easy to clean and disinfect. After each use, medical personnel can perform simple cleaning and disinfection of the device to prepare for the next use, further ensuring a sterile environment for dispensing the test strip 400.

[0043] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 A cover plate 204 is detachably connected to the feed port 203.

[0044] In this embodiment, the cover plate 204 further enhances the sealing performance of the device. When no test strip 400 is being inserted into the box 200, installing the cover plate 204 at the feed port 203 effectively prevents dust, bacteria, and other contaminants from entering the box 200, ensuring that the test strip 400 remains sterile. The detachable connection between the cover plate 204 and the feed port 203 is simple and reliable. Operators can easily install and remove the cover plate 204 with a simple press or pull, making operation convenient. For example, a snap-fit ​​connection can be used, with several snaps on the edge of the feed port 203 and corresponding slots on the cover plate 204. During installation, align the slots on the cover plate 204 with the snaps on the feed port 203 and press gently to complete the installation; during removal, simply pull the cover plate 204 away from the snaps with gentle force. In addition, to facilitate the handling of the cover plate 204, a small protrusion or groove can be provided on the cover plate 204 for easy finger application. This design takes into account both the sealing requirements of the device and the ease of operation, further optimizing the performance of the test strip dispensing device.

[0045] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 1 The box body 200 is provided with an elastic element 205 and a pressure plate 206. One end of the elastic element 205 is connected to the cover plate 204, and the other end of the elastic element 205 is connected to the pressure plate 206. The pressure plate 206 is used to squeeze the test paper 400.

[0046] When the cover plate 204 is installed at the feed port 203, the elastic element 205 is in a compressed state, and the elastic force causes the pressure plate 206 to tightly squeeze the test strip 400. This design has many advantages. First, it ensures that the test strips 400 are tightly arranged inside the box 200, preventing them from scattering or becoming misaligned due to shaking during device movement or transportation, thus ensuring orderly storage and facilitating the accurate ejection of the test strips 301. Second, the compression of the test strips 400 by the pressure plate 206 further reduces the airflow space inside the box 200, lowering the risk of external contaminants entering the box through tiny gaps and better maintaining a sterile environment inside the box. Furthermore, when test strips 400 need to be replenished from the feed port 203, the elastic element 205 will be further compressed as new test strips 400 are added, and the pressure plate 206 will also drop accordingly, always maintaining a moderate squeezing force on all test strips 400, ensuring that the test strips 400 in the entire box 200 are always tightly arranged, without affecting subsequent retrieval operations.

[0047] In this embodiment, by providing the elastic element 205, the test strip 400 storage device can be placed upright (box 200 facing upwards) or upside down (base 100 facing upwards). This ensures the stable arrangement and retrieval of the test strips 400 in both placement states. The elastic element 205 can be a spring, which has good elastic recovery properties and can maintain a stable force on the pressure plate 206 for a long time, ensuring that the pressure exerted by the pressure plate 206 on the test strips 400 remains appropriate.

[0048] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The driving component includes a push rod 302 and a connecting rod 303. The connecting rod 303 is rotatably connected to the base 100. One end of the connecting rod 303 is hinged to the paddle 301, and the other end of the connecting rod 303 is hinged to the first end of the push rod 302. The second end of the push rod 302 extends out of the base 100 and is slidably connected to the base 100.

[0049] In this embodiment, this structural design makes the operation of the drive lever 301 more flexible and effortless. When the push rod 302 is pushed, the linear motion of the push rod 302 is converted into the sliding motion of the lever 301 through the connecting rod 303, realizing an effective conversion of the motion mode. Due to the rotatable connection between the connecting rod 303 and the base 100, and the hinged connection between the connecting rod 303 and the lever 301 and the push rod 302, when the push rod 302 moves, the connecting rod 303 can rotate accordingly according to the position changes of the lever 301 and the push rod 302, so that the lever 301 can slide smoothly on the base 100.

[0050] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The driving component also includes a slider 304 and an elastic reset component 305. The slider 304 is slidably connected to the base 100 and hinged to the connector. One end of the elastic reset component 305 abuts against the slider 304, and the other end of the elastic reset component 305 abuts against the base 100.

[0051] In this embodiment, by setting up a slider 304 and an elastic reset member 305, after the push rod 302 pushes the lever 301 to complete the push action of the test strip 400, the elastic force of the elastic reset member 305 causes the slider 304 to drive the push rod 302 and the lever 301 to automatically reset to their initial positions, preparing for the next push of the test strip 400. This automatic reset function not only improves the convenience of using the device, eliminating the need to manually return the lever 301 and other components to their positions, saving operation time, but also ensures the continuity of device use, allowing medical personnel or users to more efficiently use the test strip 400.

[0052] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 The driving component also includes a button 306, which is connected to the second end of the push rod 302.

[0053] In this embodiment, by setting button 306, medical staff or users can easily drive the push rod 302 by simply pressing button 306, which in turn drives the paddle 301 to push out the test strip 400. The operation is extremely simple and greatly improves the efficiency of test strip 400 retrieval. The design of button 306 conforms to ergonomic principles. Its size, shape, and position have been carefully considered to make it convenient for users to hold and press, and it can be operated accurately even in emergency situations or when wearing medical gloves. In addition, the surface of button 306 can be treated with anti-slip material to further ensure the stability and reliability of operation and avoid operation errors caused by sweaty hands or other reasons.

[0054] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 7 and Figure 8 The housing 200 is equipped with mounting clips 207. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 The base 100 is provided with a mounting slot 103, and the mounting buckle 207 engages with the mounting slot 103.

[0055] In this embodiment, this snap-fit ​​connection ensures a secure connection between the box 200 and the base 100 while facilitating disassembly. During installation, simply align the mounting clips 207 on the box 200 with the mounting slots 103 on the base 100 and press gently to complete the connection; the operation is simple and quick. During disassembly, applying appropriate external force allows the mounting clips 207 to separate from the mounting slots 103, facilitating the separation of the box 200 from the base 100. This makes cleaning the box 200 and replacing the test strips 400 very convenient.

[0056] The working process of the test strip dispensing device provided in this application embodiment is as follows: In its natural state, the lever 301 is in the first position, at which time the test strip 400 is stacked on the lever 301. When the test strip 400 needs to be dispensed, the button 306 is pressed. The button 306 drives the push rod 302 to move. The push rod 302 drives the lever 301 to move from the first position to the second position through the connecting rod 303. As the lever 301 moves, the bottom test strip 400 gradually detaches from the lever 301. When the lever 301 reaches the second position, the test strip 400 falls onto the upper surface of the base 100, and the lever 301 is located on the side of the test strip 400. Releasing the button 306 causes the slider 304 to automatically reset the push rod 302 and the lever 301 back to the first position due to the action of the elastic reset member 305. At the same time, the lever 301 pushes the bottom test strip 400 out of the paper outlet slot 202. Figure 3 As shown.

[0057] The entire process is simple and convenient, enabling rapid and accurate aseptic dispensing of test strip 400. In practical applications, this device is suitable for hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and other locations where the sterility of test strip 400 is critical. Whether healthcare professionals are testing patients or researchers are using test strip 400 during experiments, this device allows for easy acquisition of sterile test strip 400, reducing the risk of contamination and improving the accuracy of test results.

[0058] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
