Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical products, and in particular to a blood glucose test strip box. Background Technology

[0002] Blood glucose test strips are used in conjunction with a blood glucose meter to measure blood glucose levels. A blood glucose test strip is a thin, rigid sheet with a bio-enzyme coated on one end and an electrode on the other. During measurement, a drop of blood is placed on the bio-enzyme. The bio-enzyme reacts chemically with the blood to convert the blood glucose signal into a weak electrical signal. This electrical signal is then transmitted through the electrodes to the blood glucose meter for display.

[0003] Blood glucose test strips are for single use only and are usually stored in a paper or plastic test strip box. When using a test strip, avoid touching the ends to prevent contact with the enzymes and electrodes, which could lead to contamination and inaccurate readings. The best way to hold the strip is with two fingers supporting the middle of the strip from both sides.

[0004] Common blood glucose test strip boxes are basically the same as those found in daily life, consisting of a box body and a lid. Opening the lid allows you to take out the test strips. After opening the lid, only one end of the test strip protrudes from the box, or the entire strip is inside. Whether you hold the protruding part of the test strip directly or insert your fingers into the box, it's easy to come into contact with the enzymes or electrodes at the end. Shaking the test strip out before taking it out also presents some problems. First, it's difficult to control the amount of strip shaken out, potentially resulting in multiple strips. Second, the shaken-out strip needs to be caught; if you catch it with your hand, you'll also come into contact with the surfaces at both ends of the strip. If you shake the strip onto a surface, it's not easy to keep the surface clean, and the strip sticking to the surface makes it difficult to pick up. Therefore, it's not easy to achieve the ideal state of holding the strip by two fingers on either side of the middle without touching the surfaces at both ends when taking it out of a regular blood glucose test strip box. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a blood glucose test strip box that helps to avoid contaminating the test strip when handling it.

[0006] The technical solution adopted to solve the above technical problems is as follows: The blood glucose test strip box includes a test strip box body, an output cap, and a cap connecting structure; the top plate of the test strip box body is provided with a test strip outlet that matches the blood glucose test strip, and the output cap covers the test strip box body; the cap connecting structure includes a guide rail, a slider, and a connecting strip. The guide rail is vertically arranged next to the test strip box body and connected to the test strip box body. The slider cooperates with the guide rail. The upper and lower ends of the connecting strip are respectively connected to the output cap and the slider. The output cap can move upward to a first position and a second position; when the output cap is in the first position, the distance between the upper edge of the test strip outlet and the output cap is 'a'. When the output cap is in the second position, the distance between the upper edge of the test strip outlet and the output cap is 'b'. The length of the blood glucose test strip is 'c', 5mm≤ca≤10mm, b>c.

[0007] Furthermore, ca = 8mm.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide rail has a guide groove, the slider is located in the guide groove and cooperates with the guide groove, and a positioning groove is provided on the bottom surface of the guide groove; the cover connection structure includes a positioning structure, which is connected to the slider; when the positioning structure is inserted into the positioning groove, the output cover is in the first position.

[0009] Furthermore, the slider has a through hole; the positioning structure includes a hinge seat, a positioning bend plate, and an elastic element. The hinge seat is connected to the slider, the middle part of the positioning bend plate is hinged to the hinge seat, and the two ends of the positioning bend plate are the operating end and the positioning end, respectively. The positioning end passes through the through hole, and the elastic element pushes the operating end outward. When the slider moves to the position where the positioning end corresponds to the guide groove, the elastic element causes the positioning end to insert into the positioning groove, at which time the output cover is in the first position.

[0010] Furthermore, when the slider contacts the upper end face of the guide groove, the output port cover is in the second position.

[0011] Furthermore, the top plate of the test strip box has a conical protrusion, and the test strip outlet is located on the conical protrusion.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: when using this utility model, firstly as follows... Figure 2 As shown, pull up the output port cover to position it in the first position. Then, as... Figure 5 As shown, invert the blood glucose test strip box and shake it. One test strip will then emerge from the outlet. Since 5mm ≤ CA ≤ 10mm, the test strip is not completely ejected; one end rests against the outlet cap, while the other end remains inside the outlet. This keeps the test strip vertical and prevents it from falling completely onto the outlet cap. At this point, you can easily hold the test strip by its sides in the middle with two fingers. Then... Figure 6As shown, the fingers of the hand holding the test strip box push the slider further, moving the output cap to the second position. At this point, since b > c, the blood glucose test strip can be removed and used. After removal, move the output cap back to its original position.

[0013] As can be seen, during the process of taking out the blood glucose test strip, the two ends of the test strip will not come into contact with any other items besides the test strip box itself, which can avoid contamination of the biological enzymes and electrodes on the two ends of the test strip, thus helping to ensure the accuracy of blood glucose measurement.

[0014] Furthermore, during the use of this utility model, when the main body of the test strip box is opened (the outlet cover moves upward), only the test strip outlet is connected to the outside. The test strip outlet matches the blood glucose test strip, so it is only a small gap, which helps to prevent unused blood glucose test strips inside the test strip box from being contaminated.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the blood glucose test kit includes a test kit body 1, an output cap 2, and a cap connecting structure 3. The top plate of the test kit body 1 has a test strip outlet 11 that matches the blood glucose test strip 4. The output cap 2 covers the test kit body 1. The cap connecting structure 3 includes a guide rail 31, a slider 32, and a connecting strip 33. The guide rail 31 is vertically positioned beside the test kit body 1 and connected to it. The slider 32 cooperates with the guide rail 31. The upper and lower ends of the connecting strip 33 are connected to the output cap 2 and the slider 32, respectively. The output cap 2 can move upwards to a first position and a second position. When the output cap 2 is in the first position, the distance between the upper edge of the test strip outlet 11 and the output cap 2 is 'a'. When the output cap 2 is in the second position, the distance between the upper edge of the test strip outlet 11 and the output cap 2 is 'b'. The length of the blood glucose test strip is 'c', where 5mm ≤ ca ≤ 10mm, and b > c. Preferably, ca = 8mm.

[0024] Matching the test strip outlet 11 with the blood glucose test strip 4 means that the shape and size of the test strip outlet 11 match the cross-section of the blood glucose test strip 4, forming a slit. The length and width of the slit can each be 0.5 mm larger than the length and width of the cross-section of the blood glucose test strip 4. The height of the test strip outlet 11 can be 10 mm.

[0025] When using this utility model, first as follows: Figure 2 As shown, pull up the output port cover 2 to position it in the first position. Then, as... Figure 5 As shown, invert the blood glucose test strip box and shake it. One blood glucose test strip 4 will then be ejected from the test strip outlet 11. Since 5mm ≤ CA ≤ 10mm, the blood glucose test strip 4 is not completely ejected. One end of the blood glucose test strip 4 rests against the outlet cap 2, while the other end remains inside the test strip outlet 11. Due to the restriction of the test strip outlet 11, the blood glucose test strip 4 cannot tilt significantly and remains essentially vertical, not falling completely onto the outlet cap 2. At this point, you can easily hold the blood glucose test strip 4 by its two sides in the middle with two fingers. Then, as... Figure 6 As shown, the fingers of the hand holding the test strip box body 1 push the slider 32 to further move the output port cover 2 to the second position. At this time, since b > c, the blood glucose test strip 4 is not restricted by the test strip outlet 11 and can be taken out for use. After taking it out, move the output port cover 2 back to its original position.

[0026] As can be seen, during the process of taking out the blood glucose test strip 4, the two ends of the test strip will not come into contact with any other items besides the test strip box itself, which can prevent the biological enzymes and electrodes on the two ends of the test strip from being contaminated, thus helping to ensure the accuracy of blood glucose measurement.

[0027] Furthermore, during the use of this utility model, when the test strip box body 1 is opened (output port cover 2 moves upward), only the test strip outlet 11 is connected to the outside. The test strip outlet 11 is just a small gap, which helps to prevent unused blood glucose test strips 4 inside the test strip box body 1 from being contaminated.

[0028] The specific structure of the cover connection structure 3 can be as follows: the guide rail 31 has a guide groove 311, the slider 32 is located in the guide groove 311 and cooperates with the guide groove 311, and a positioning groove 312 is provided on the bottom surface of the guide groove 311; the cover connection structure 3 includes a positioning structure 34, which is connected to the slider 32; when the positioning structure 34 is inserted into the positioning groove 312, the output cover 2 is in the first position.

[0029] The guide groove 311 can be a common dovetail groove or T-groove. The upper end of the guide groove 311 has an opening through which the connecting strip 33 passes. The width of the opening is smaller than the width of the guide groove 311 to prevent the slider 32 from moving out of the guide rail 31.

[0030] More specifically, the slider 32 has a through hole 321; the positioning structure 34 includes a hinge seat 341, a positioning bent plate 342, and an elastic element 343. The hinge seat 341 is connected to the slider 32, the middle part of the positioning bent plate 342 is hinged to the hinge seat 341, and the two ends of the positioning bent plate 342 are the operating end and the positioning end, respectively. The positioning end passes through the through hole 321, and the elastic element 343 pushes against the operating end. When the slider 32 moves to the position where the positioning end corresponds to the guide groove 311, the action of the elastic element 343 causes the positioning end to insert into the positioning groove 312. At this time, the output cover 2 is in the first position.

[0031] The process of moving the output cover 2 is as follows: First, hold the output cover 2 directly and pull it upwards. The positioning structure 34 does not affect the movement of the slider 32 until the positioning end moves into the positioning groove 312. The elastic element 343 causes the positioning end to insert into the positioning groove 312. At this time, the slider 32 can no longer move upwards, that is, the output cover 2 can no longer move upwards, and the output cover 2 is in the first position. When moving the output cover 2 upwards again, press the operating end. The positioning bending plate 342 swings, causing the positioning end to exit the positioning groove 312. The positioning structure 34 no longer functions, and the slider 32 can continue to move upwards, so that the output cover 2 is in the second position.

[0032] When the slider 32 contacts the upper surface of the guide groove 311, the output cover 2 is in the second position. Thus, simply moving the slider 32 to its limit position will position the output cover 2 in the second position.

[0033] The test strip box body 1 preferably has a conical protrusion 12 on its top plate, and the test strip outlet 11 is disposed on the conical protrusion 12. With the conical protrusion 12 provided, when the blood glucose test strip box is shaken, the blood glucose test strip 4 can more easily enter the conical protrusion 12, and under the guidance of the conical protrusion 12, it can more easily enter the test strip outlet 11.

[0034] The test strip box body 1 may include a box body and a box lid. The box lid is threadedly connected to the box body. The blood glucose test strip 4 can be inserted by opening the box lid. The conical protrusion 12 and the test strip outlet 11 are provided on the box lid.
