Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies technology, and in particular to a foldable test strip storage box. Background Technology
[0002] Medical staff often need to monitor a patient's test results over several days during the diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases, such as tracking a woman's ovulation cycle. Therefore, patients need to collect test strips from multiple days to provide to medical staff during their appointments. Proper storage of the test strips is crucial; it needs to prevent confusion between test strips from different dates, ensure ease of use for the patient and portability during appointments, and allow for quick and sequential presentation to medical staff throughout the consultation. However, existing test strip storage boxes are not convenient to disassemble, assemble, or store, and also hinder patients from quickly presenting their test results to medical staff during appointments. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problem of inconvenient storage and display of test strip storage boxes. To address this issue, this invention provides a foldable test strip storage box, which includes multiple independent test strip storage components. These components can be folded for easy carrying by patients. They can be easily disassembled and assembled when needed, and all components can be quickly unfolded during a medical visit to clearly display test strips from different dates.
[0004] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A foldable test strip storage box is characterized by comprising a plurality of test strip storage components; each test strip storage component includes a protective cover and a storage plate, one end of the protective cover being rotatably connected to one end of the storage plate, and the other end being detachably connected to the other end of the storage plate; one side of the protective cover has an upper slot, and the other side has an upper hinge; the storage plate has a lower hinge on the side corresponding to the upper slot, and a lower slot on the side corresponding to the upper hinge; the foldable test strip storage box has an unfolded state and a folded state; when the foldable test strip storage box is in the unfolded state, the upper slots of two adjacent test strip storage components are connected to the upper hinge, and the lower slots are connected to the lower hinge. The unfolded state is a state in which all test strip storage components are connected and laid flat, and the folded state is a state in which all test strip storage components are connected and completely overlapped.
[0006] During test strip collection, patients can disconnect the upper slot from the upper clip and the lower slot from the lower clip, allowing them to use a single test strip storage component independently. This makes it easy to open the protective cover and store the test strips, saving space as patients don't need to carry all the test strip storage components with them daily. When all test strips need to be stored, simply connect the upper slot to the upper clip and the lower slot to the lower clip in sequence to the unfolded state, then fold the test strip storage components to achieve the foldable test strip box's folded state for easy carrying. To display the test strips, simply unfold all the test strip storage components and reconnect the upper slot to the upper clip and the lower slot to the lower clip.
[0007] Furthermore, two adjacent test strip storage components constitute a minimum folding unit. When the foldable test strip storage box moves from the unfolded state to the folded state, the upper slots of the two test strip storage components in the minimum folding unit are connected to the upper locking shaft, and the lower slots are not connected to the lower locking shaft. The lower slots of two adjacent minimum folding units are connected to the lower locking shaft, and the upper slots are not connected to the upper locking shaft.
[0008] Furthermore, both the upper and lower card slots are flexible card slots. This flexible design allows the upper and lower card shafts to be quickly disassembled or installed into their respective upper or lower card slots.
[0009] Furthermore, the protective cover is made of transparent material. The transparent cover allows for a clear view of all the test strips when the foldable test strip box is in the unfolded state, without needing to open the cover further.
[0010] Furthermore, the protective cover has a pivot at one end and a snap-fit groove at the other end; the storage plate has a pivot mounting portion at one end and a snap-fit at the other end; when the protective cover covers the storage plate, the pivot is accommodated in the pivot mounting portion, and the snap-fit is engaged in the snap-fit groove. Through the cooperation of the pivot and the pivot mounting portion, the protective cover can be rotatably connected to one end of the storage plate; through the cooperation of the snap-fit and the snap-fit groove, the protective cover and the other end of the storage plate can be detachably connected.
[0011] Furthermore, the storage plate is provided with a test paper storage section and an accessory storage section.
[0012] Furthermore, the accessory storage section includes a colorimetric card storage section and a date storage section. Test strips are stored in the test strip storage section, colorimetric cards are stored in the colorimetric card storage section, and the slips recording the dates are stored in the date storage section, enabling partitioned storage of carriers containing different information.
