Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically a testing device for medical test strips. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of medical testing, test strips are commonly used to test the bodily fluids of organisms. The production process of test strips mainly involves preparing test reagents into test strip samples through appropriate preparation processes, then manually cutting the test strip samples into test strips of a preset size, and finally packaging the test strips using methods such as clamping.

[0003] After the medical test strips are produced, they usually need to be tested using a testing device to meet the needs of subsequent medical test strip operations.

[0004] In the prior art, there is a Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN212953412U entitled "A Medical Test Strip Feeding and Defective Product Visual Inspection Device". The aforementioned patent discloses a medical test strip feeding and defective product visual inspection device, including a synchronous conveyor belt, a bracket for supporting the synchronous conveyor belt, a synchronous drive mechanism for driving the synchronous conveyor belt, a visual inspection mechanism, and a collection mechanism. The synchronous conveyor belt is provided with a positioning groove, and the bracket is provided with two guide plates for guiding the test strips. The bracket is provided with a telescopic component for driving the guide plates away from the synchronous conveyor belt. The visual inspection mechanism is located in the middle of the synchronous conveyor belt and fixed on the bracket. A transparent pressure plate for flattening the test strips is provided on the bracket directly below the visual inspection mechanism. The collection mechanism is located at the rear end of the synchronous conveyor belt to collect the tested test strips. An alignment mechanism for aligning the test strips is also provided on the bracket between the transparent pressure plate and the collection mechanism.

[0005] The aforementioned patent has a simple structure and is easy to operate, which to some extent solves the problem of test strips easily shifting and causing test failures when moving on a synchronous conveyor belt. While existing technologies, including the aforementioned patent, can meet the testing needs of medical test strips to a certain extent, they still have the following shortcomings. As is known, existing technologies, including the aforementioned patent, typically use a conveyor belt to transport the workpiece to a predetermined testing area and complete the testing of the medical test strip after passing through the testing area. However, in the above operation, if the conveyor belt speed is increased to improve the testing efficiency of the medical test strip, the time for the medical test strip to pass through the testing area will be reduced, affecting the accuracy of the medical test strip test. Conversely, if the conveyor belt is too slow, it will reduce the overall testing efficiency of the testing device, resulting in certain deficiencies. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a detection device for medical test strips to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a detection device for medical test strips, comprising a frame, on which a first conveying member and a second conveying member are disposed, and a receiving groove is provided on the frame.

The operating speed of the second conveying component can be controlled, improving the accuracy of the test strip detection operation, making it suitable for widespread use. Furthermore, by rationally designing the operating speed and rhythm of the first and second conveying components, more efficient continuous conveying can be achieved. Attached Figure Description

After the medical test strip is conveyed to a predetermined position by the first conveyor 2, the driving part 6 drives the positioning part for fixing the test strip sample to slide, positioning the medical test strip on the first conveyor 2. Then, the medical test strip on the first conveyor 2 is fed onto the second conveyor 3. The second conveyor 3 then transports the medical test strip so that it passes directly below the detection part, where the detection part performs the detection operation. The operating speed of the second conveyor 3 can be controlled to improve the accuracy of the test strip body 11 during detection, making it suitable for widespread use. Furthermore, by rationally designing the operating speed and rhythm of the first conveyor 2 and the second conveyor 3, more efficient continuous conveying can be achieved.

[0032] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, specifically, a sliding frame 5 is slidably connected to the slide rail 4, and a threaded sleeve adapted to the slide rail 4 is provided on the bottom of the sliding frame 5.
