When using it, a disposable test strip needs to be inserted into the test strip slot of the blood glucose meter so that the electrodes of the test strip make contact with the meter's detection circuitry to perform a blood glucose test.
[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN207586239U, which discloses a portable blood glucose meter, comprising a blood glucose meter body, a controller, an anti-slip rubber sleeve, and a test strip holder; the upper middle part of the surface of the blood glucose meter body is provided with a display screen, the lower middle part of the surface of the blood glucose meter body is provided with a public hole, the bottom surface of the blood glucose meter body is provided with a test strip insertion hole, the side wall of the test strip insertion hole is provided with a positioning slide, and a positioning component is provided in the positioning slide.
[0004] Traditional blood glucose meter test strip inserts typically use a fixed structure, where the test strip is held in place by elastic contacts or friction after insertion. However, this design has the following problems: 1. Some blood glucose meters rely solely on friction to hold the test strip in place, which may cause the test strip to loosen or fall off, affecting the measurement results; 2. After insertion, a significant portion of the test strip is exposed, which may deform due to external forces, such as touching or moving the blood glucose meter, affecting the stability of the test. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

Two sliding pins are slidably connected to the side wall of the test strip insertion slot, and the sliding pins penetrate the test strip insertion slot. A clamping plate is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding pin located inside the test strip insertion slot. A spring is sleeved on the outer side of the sliding pin. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the blood glucose meter body. A threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inside of the fixing plate, and the threaded rod penetrates the fixing plate. A frame is mounted on the end of the threaded rod via a bearing. The inner wall of the frame has an inclined surface, and the inclined surface of the frame abuts against the end of the sliding pin located outside the test strip insertion slot.
[0007] Preferably, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the clamping plate, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the test paper insertion slot expansion groove. The spring provides auxiliary repositioning for the clamping plate.

[0014] This utility model provides a test strip connection structure for a blood glucose meter. Through the coordinated design of a sliding pin, a clamping plate, and a spring, the test strip can be automatically clamped and released. When the knob is rotated, the threaded rod pushes the frame to move, and the inclined structure drives the sliding pin to slide, so that the clamping plate stably holds the test strip, ensuring accurate alignment when the test strip is inserted and improving the detection accuracy.
[0015] This utility model provides a test strip connection structure for a blood glucose meter. By setting a magnetic sleeve, a magnetic block, a connecting frame, and a pad at the bottom of the blood glucose meter body, the pad is fixed to the bottom of the blood glucose meter body by magnetic attraction and corresponds to the test strip insertion position of the blood glucose meter body.
