(d) The drawings referred to in the following texts are illustrative of the structure associated with the features of the present invention and are not necessarily required to be fully drawn based on actual dimensions. 201019235 First, please refer to Fig. 1, which is a schematic view of the test strip reader of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the test strip reader 10 includes a housing ι, a display 200, a transport mechanism 300, a barcode reader 400, an optical reader 500, a motherboard 600, an operation switch 700, The keyboard 800 and the interface device 9 are wheeled in. In this embodiment, the display 2, the transport mechanism 300, the barcode reader 400, the optical reader 500, the operation switch 700, the input keyboard 800, and the interface device 900 in the test strip reader 1A can be detected. It is electrically connected to the motherboard 600 through a flexible bus. Of course, the beta display 200, the transport mechanism 300, the barcode reader 400, the optical reader 500, the operation switch 700, the input keyboard 800, and the interface device 900 in the test strip reader 1 can also be directly connected to the motherboard 600. Electrically fixed together. All of the above are embodiments of the present invention. Further, in the test strip reader 1 of the present invention, a tough device 30' is also included as shown in Fig. 1B. The firmware device 30 is electrically connected to the electrical connection end 610 of the motherboard 6 , and includes a circuit substrate (not shown), and an electrical connection end 32 is formed at one end of the circuit substrate for The electrical connection terminal 610 is electrically connected to the electrical connection terminal 610. At the same time, the database module 34 and the computing module 36 are disposed on the circuit substrate of the firmware device 3, wherein the database module 34 stores a plurality of inspections. The light reaction equation of the test piece. Next, the operation of the test strip reader 10 of the present invention will be described. The display 200 is provided on the casing 100 and can be used to display the detection state or the detection result. The transport mechanism 300 is configured to carry out a test strip 2 配置 arranged with a bar code and move horizontally according to a preset path, so that the test strip 20 can be automatically moved into or removed from the casing 100; The barcode on the test strip 2 can be scanned, so the wheel mechanism 3 of the present invention can be a transparent board or a transparent carrier at the position where the test strip 20 is carried, or A bare structure is formed at the place where the test strip 20 is placed; therefore, the barcode 4 picker 400 disposed in the body 100 of the shell 201019235 can quickly and stably scan the barcode on the test strip 20 to read the test strip 2 Barcode information on (). The type of the barcode on the test strip 20 may be a one-dimensional strip (in the case of a scorpion-like oil, such as a stencil), or a two-dimensional barcode (Tw〇Dimensi〇ns Barc〇de). The barcode information stored in the barcode includes: 2G detection test strip, manufacturing date, manufacturing batch number, effective date or batch number correction data. In addition, the barcode reader 4 of the present invention has the following two reading modes. The first reading mode is: when the detecting test strip 2 is moved into the casing, the conveying mechanism 300 according to the preset path. Moving 'and reading the bar code information on the test strip 20 at the same time in the process of moving; the second reading mode is: when the test strip 20 is moved to the end of the path by the transport mechanism 300, then the test is read. Bar code information on slice 20. Obviously, after reading the barcode information on the test strip 20 via the barcode reader 4, the present invention can correctly know the category, the manufacturing date, the manufacturing lot number, and the manufacturing lot number of the test strip 20 according to the content of the barcode information. Valid date or correction data for the batch number. Therefore, in the process of detection, it is possible to effectively avoid misuse of test specimens that are incorrect or have expired to ensure the correctness of the test results. After confirming that the test strip 20 is still within the expiration date, the barcode reader 400 transmits the category information of the test strip 20 to the computing module 36 on the Bosch apparatus 3 for selecting the library module 34. Corresponding light reaction equations and performing their subsequent detection procedures. It is further explained that the "detection procedure varies in part with different test strips." In the cold light detection method, the light-emitting reaction is self-luminous, so that an optical signal reaction can be generated without irradiating the light source. The fluorescent detection method needs to be irradiated by a light source to cause energy conversion after the energy is received and generate an optical signal reaction. For example, when the material on the test strip 2 is a luminescent material, the light-emitting anti-201019235 should be generated without irradiation of the light source device; and the fluorescent test strip 20 is used. Then, after the irradiation of the light source device, the fluorescent material on the test strip 20 is caused to generate an optical signal reaction. Therefore, a light source device (not shown) can be selectively disposed in the test strip reader 10 of the present invention. Taking the fluorescent detection method as an example: when the test strip 20 is determined by the barcode reader 400 to be a fluorescent test strip 20, the test strip reader 10 provides a light source detection test. After the sheet 20 continues to be irradiated, the specific light reaction parameters on the test strip 20 can be read by the optical reader 500 and transmitted to the arithmetic module 36 on the firmware device 30. As described above, the carburst device 47 of the present invention includes a database module 34 and a computing module 36. The light reaction equation of the plurality of types of test strips 20 is stored in the database module 34. · Test the light response equations such as blood sugar, cholesterol or hemoglobin. Therefore, when the operation module 36 reads out the bar code information ' on the test strip 20 through the barcode reader 400 and selects a corresponding light reaction equation from the database module 34 according to the test strip category in the barcode information; The batch correction data in the information is loaded into the photoreaction equation with the specific photoreaction signal read by the optical reader 500, and a detection result is generated. The detection result in the present invention, which is to be emphasized here, may be an arithmetic value (value) which may also be raw data that has not been processed. The result of this detection can be displayed via display 200 or transmitted through interface device 900. For example, when the test strip 2 is tested as a blood glucose test strip, after the test strip 20 is loaded into the test strip reader 1 , the barcode reader 400 automatically reads the test strip 20 . The bar code information includes: category, date of manufacture, manufacturing lot number, valid period or correction data of the batch number, etc.; then the computing module 36 selects the hemorrhage test from the database module 34 according to the content of the bar code information. The light reaction equation of the slice; the batch correction 9 201019235 data and the optical reading of the limb light reaction signal read by the H 5G0 are loaded into the equation, and the operation H is used to check the result in the database in this embodiment. The module 34 ^ a δ ζ, ^ ιι (write once memory) » # , #; can also be a kind of non-volatile memory components, the non-volatile memory component can be: - times _ only Read memory (OTP-ROM), flash memory (flash _〇ry), wipeable programmable read-only memory (EpR〇M) or electrically erasable read-only memory (EEPR〇M).
