Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blood glucose meter technology, and in particular to a blood glucose meter. Background Technology

[0002] A blood glucose meter is an indispensable medical device for diabetic patients to monitor their blood sugar levels daily. It typically works by placing a drop of fresh blood onto the reaction area of ​​a disposable blood glucose test strip. The meter then uses electrochemical or photochemical methods to read the reaction signal on the strip and calculate the blood glucose concentration. This helps patients understand their blood sugar fluctuations and adjust their diet, exercise, and medication regimens accordingly.

[0003] The prior art, disclosed in publication number CN218974376U, discloses a blood glucose meter, which "includes a blood glucose meter body, a display screen and corresponding switch buttons on the upper end of the blood glucose meter body, a connecting plate fixedly connected to one side of the blood glucose meter body, a test interface on the upper end of the blood glucose meter body, and a test strip tube paired with the blood glucose meter, including a tube body, a cap connected to the bottle mouth of the tube body by threads, and a snap-fit ​​plate fixedly connected to the outside of the cap, and the snap-fit ​​plate is adapted to the size and position of the slot".

[0004] When using the aforementioned blood glucose meter, after completing a blood glucose test, the user needs to manually pull the used test strip from the meter's test strip slot. This requires the user to directly touch the end of the blood-contaminated test strip with their finger, which is not only inconvenient but also poses potential cross-contamination and biosafety risks. Blood residue may contaminate the fingers or the surface of the meter. During the removal process, the slippery or blood-stained test strip is prone to slipping, causing the test strip to fall or the blood residue to be unintentionally contaminated to other places, further increasing the risk of contamination.

The two sets of hot-melt pillars 3 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the upper shell 1 for limiting the installation of the button 6. The multiple sets of screw pillars 4 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the upper shell 1 for connecting the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 9. The two sets of female buckles 5 are symmetrically arranged at the edge of the upper shell 1 for limiting and fixing the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 9. The limiting bone 7 is arranged on the inner wall of the upper shell 1 for limiting the display screen 15. The button 6 is sleeved on the outside of the hot-melt pillars 3 for controlling the blood glucose meter. The limiting bone 7 is located around the through-hole 2. A transparent part 8 is provided inside the through-hole 2 to facilitate the user's viewing of the content displayed on the display screen 15.

[0027] The pushing assembly includes a lower shell 9, which is located at the bottom of the upper shell 1. Two sets of male buckles 10 are symmetrically arranged at the edge of the lower shell 9 for limiting and fixing with the upper shell 1. Two sets of limiting posts 11 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the lower shell 9 for limiting the circuit board 13. Multiple sets of screw sleeves 12 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the lower shell 9 for connecting and fixing with the screw posts 4. The circuit board 13 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting posts 11. A conductive silicone 14 is soldered to the top of the circuit board 13, and a [missing information - likely a product name or design element] is provided on the top of the conductive silicone 14. The display screen 15 is used to display the test results of the blood glucose meter. The battery body 16 is provided inside the bottom of the lower shell 9 to power the circuit board 13, the test element 19, and the display screen 15. Multiple sets of locking holes 17 are opened on the surface of the lower shell 9 to secure the battery cover 18. The battery cover 18 is installed at the bottom of the lower shell 9 by elastic buckles to protect the battery body 16. The male buckle 10 and the female buckle 5 are correspondingly arranged. The display screen 15 is located inside the limiting bone 7. The screw cylinder 12 and the screw post 4 are correspondingly arranged.

[0028] A test element 19 is mounted on the bottom of the circuit board 13 for measuring the glucose concentration in blood. The test element 19 has two sets of first sliding openings 20 on its surface. A first slider 21 and a second slider 22 are provided on the inner wall of the lower shell 9. The second slider 22 has a second sliding opening 23 on its surface. A spring 24 is installed on the inner wall of the lower shell 9 for resetting the pusher 25. The pusher 25 is attached to one end of the spring 24 for pushing the test strip. A third slider 26 is provided on the side wall of the pusher 25. A third sliding opening 27 and a fourth sliding opening 28 are provided on the bottom of the pusher 25. A fourth slider 29 is provided on the top of the pusher 25.

The fourth slider 29 and the first sliding opening 20 are slidably connected. When a user needs to check blood glucose, they insert the test strip into the testing element 19. The spring 24 is in its normal state, neither stretched nor contracted. Blood is then dripped onto the test strip for testing. After the test is completed, the user pushes the pusher 25 forward with their finger. Under the limits of the first slider 21, second slider 22, third slider 26, fourth slider 29, first sliding opening 20, second sliding opening 23, third sliding opening 27, and fourth sliding opening 28, the pusher 25 moves horizontally and pushes out the tested test strip. At this time, the spring 24 is in a stretched state. The user can then pick up the test strip by pinching the uncontaminated part without having to pull it out forcefully. This facilitates the user's operation, avoids blood contamination of the fingers or instrument, and reduces the risk of cross-infection. Finally, the user releases the finger that pushed the pusher 25. The pusher 25 will return to its normal position due to the force of the spring 24 contracting towards its normal state, making it convenient for the next use.

[0029] Of course, there may be other implementations of this utility model. Based on this implementation, other implementations obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
