Fig. 1A is a schematic front view of a detection device container 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and fig. 1B is a schematic side view of the detection device container 100 shown in fig. 1A. Referring to fig. 1A and 1B, the detection device container 100 includes a first housing 110. The first housing 110 includes a first surface 101 and a receiving slot 102 opening into the first surface 101, the receiving slot 102 for receiving a condition sensor (not shown) having a mounting surface that is removably disposed within the first housing 110. When the condition sensor is disposed in the receiving slot 102, the mounting surface is exposed by the opening of the receiving slot 102. The first housing 110 also includes a recess 103 on the first surface 101, the recess 103 serving as a locating structure and for locating a replaceable patch that is coupled to the mounting surface of the condition sensor for use with the condition sensor (see, e.g., fig. 6B).

The mounting surface of the physical sign sensor is attached to the replaceable patch, is a surface which is combined with the body surface of the user through the replaceable patch when the physical sign sensor is worn/attached on the body surface of the user, and is a plane, or a curved surface, so as to be adapted to the outline of the body surface of the user.

For example, in at least one example, the first housing 110 can be made of one or more materials selected from plastic, resin, wood, metal, or a combination thereof, such as melamine plastic, high density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene, polycarbonate, aluminum alloy, tinplate, solid wood, or wood composites, and the like. In at least one example, the first housing 110 is made of plastic. The first housing 110 may be integrally formed, or may be formed by combining a plurality of separately processed components, for example, by bonding, riveting, or engaging the plurality of components.

For example, the first housing 110 forms a housing having a housing space formed by an outer wall, the housing being, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped having a height smaller than a width and a length as a whole, and the first surface 101 being a side surface perpendicular to the height, or the housing being, for example, a cylindrical body as a whole, and the first surface 101 being a circular side surface. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the shape of the first housing 110. For example, the receiving space may be used to receive and fix other structures, devices, and the like, in addition to the vital sign sensor received in the receiving groove 102.

For example, in at least one example, the recess 103 serving as the locating structure has a contour that at least partially corresponds to an outer contour of a replaceable patch, see, e.g., fig. 6B. For example, in this embodiment, the groove 103 has a rectilinear outer contour.

The condition sensor can be placed in the receiving slot 102 directly rather than via an auxiliary structure, or can be attracted in the receiving slot by magnetism generated by magnets disposed in the first housing and the condition sensor, respectively, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the manner in which the condition sensor is placed in the receiving slot 102.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 1A and 1B, the first surface 101 of the first housing 110 is a stepped surface to form a recess 103 in a middle portion thereof, the recess 103 serves as a positioning structure for positioning the exchangeable patch, and a receiving groove 102 is formed in the recess 103. However, other embodiments of the present disclosure may use other structures as the positioning structure. For example, in a detection device container provided in another embodiment of the present disclosure, a boss is used as the positioning structure; in another embodiment of the present disclosure, a detection device container is provided in which a positioning pin is used as a positioning structure.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 1A and 1B, the recess 103 serving as the positioning structure has a rectilinear outer contour in the first surface 101. However, other embodiments of the present disclosure may use positioning structures having contours of other shapes. For example, when the replaceable patch has a curved profile, a positioning mechanism having a curved profile may be used; for example, when the replaceable patch has a contour having a combination of straight and curved shapes, a positioning mechanism having a contour having a combination of straight and curved shapes may also be used.

The embodiment shown in fig. 1A-1B enables a user to follow the guidance of the positioning mechanism when installing consumables by using the detection device container with the groove as the positioning structure, and the consumables can be quickly and conveniently and accurately installed in place, so that the use feeling of the user is improved, and the detection accuracy is improved.
