Embodiment
Below to collect blood sample so that the reading device of measuring feature that blood-sugar content in the blood sample is an example explanation liquid-sample collection device of the present invention and details and using with liquid-sample collection device.But, be noted that this liquid-sample collection device and read device to can be used to collect the liquid sample outside the blood, the characteristic outside the measuring blood content.
As shown in Figure 1, the present invention reads device 1 by a liquid-sample collection device or tip 5 and one and combines.As shown in Figure 1, in general, this liquid-sample collection device 5 comprises that a cylinder-shaped body spare 51 and is cemented in the test paper 53 on the end face of this main component 51.This gathering-device 5 can be used to collect the liquid sample that is absorbed by test paper 53.This gathering-device 5 also can removably be contained on the support 43 on this end of reading device 1.This reading device 1 is used for measuring the desirable characteristics (for example blood-sugar content in the blood sample) of collected liquid sample.
As shown in Figure 1, this reading device 1 comprises that one measures the measurement section 4 by the desirable characteristics of the collected liquid sample of gathering-device 5.The measurement section 4 of reading device 1 comprises an illuminating part that emits beam 41 and a light receiver member 42.This illuminating part 41 emits beam when closing the power supply of reading device 1.Because collecting has the gathering-device 5 of liquid sample to be contained on the support 43, so the irradiate light that illuminating part 41 sends is to test paper, accepted by light receiver member 42 after reflection, thereby carries out opto-electronic conversion.This signal amplifies behind 42 outputs one of light receiver member and the institute's light amount corresponding simulating signal of accepting.Then, with an A/D converter institute's amplifying signal is converted to and be input to a control device 10 backs after the digital signal according to the data computation desirable characteristics that is stored in this operating portion (for example blood-sugar content).
Gathering-device 5 preferably transparent or semitransparent (colourful transparent), and be disposable unit.Promptly after using once, promptly throw away.Main component 51 comprises a main part 513 and a tip 52.This tip 52 generally in the form of a truncated cone.This gathering-device in use, the tip 52 of main component 51 contacts with liquid sample (for example blood), the contact test paper 53 thereby liquid sample is upwards sucked in most advanced and sophisticated 52 by capillarity and absorbing by test paper 53, thereby sample spreads on test paper 53.Thereby this tip 52 of main component 51 is as the sample introducing portion of this main component.
Know clearly as Fig. 3 and to show, main component 51 comprises that one can be supported on main part 513 on the support 43 of reading device 1 to gathering-device 5.This main part 513 is around a concave region 540 of main component 51, and the bottom surface of this concave region 540 forms the part of the end face 542 of main component 51.The part formation confession test paper 53 of the end face 542 of main component adheres to the adhesion zone 512 on the main component 51.Main part 513 also comprises a bottom 511.
This main part 51 also has an annular flange flange 514 that radially outwards stretches at an end relative with most advanced and sophisticated 52.Flange 514 gathering-device 5 is installed on the support 43 of reading device 1 or when taking off as grip.Therefore, can firmly install to gathering-device 5 on this support of reading device 1 or easily from taking off this gathering-device.
The shape and size of the concave region 540 in the main part 513 match with the shape and size of the support 43 of reading device 1.Shown in Fig. 3 and 8, it is conical that the inside surface around concave region 540 of main part 513 preferably is slightly.This taper shape makes main part 513 little and big at the internal diameter on one side relative with end face 542 at end face 542 internal diameter on one side.Like this, gathering-device 5 can firmly be enclosed within on the support 43 of reading device 1, although have difference between the internal diameter of the main part 513 of the external diameter of the support 43 of reading device 1 or shape and gathering-device 5.
According to the preferred embodiment, bottom 511, main part 513 and flange 514 are made one, although they also can separately be made and be assembled together.In addition, although one is made with bottom 511 in tip 52, they also can separately be made and link together.
One hole of both ends open or passage 520 pass main component 5 to the other end from an end.This hole 520 forms kapillary sample stream and leans on capillarity liquid sample to be drawn into the concave region 540 of main part 513 from tip 52.Hole 520 is vertical with test paper 53.Hole 520 is led to most advanced and sophisticated 52 sample flow inlet 523 and is led to the concave region 540 sample flow outlet 527 on one side of main part 513.The end face 542 of main component 51 forms the body surfaces that radially outwards stretches around the sample flow outlet 527.
As mentioned above, test paper 53 is cemented on the adhesive portion 512 of end face 542 of main component 51.Circular test paper 53 shown in Fig. 9 and 10 can be by welding or bonding (for example viscose glue be bonding) and be firmly adhered on its position.Particularly, test paper 52 as shown in figure 10 on the excircle with test paper 53 the bonding position 534 of a plurality of spaced apart cement on the adhesive portion 512 of main component 51 end faces.In the time of on bonding to main component 51 like this, form one between every pair of adjacent bonding position 534 and go out gas area 544.Thereby, after test paper 53 cements on the main component 51, form between the end face 542 of main component 51 and a plurality ofly go out gas area 544 along the circumference distance.Like this, when liquid sample was inhaled in the passage 520 by capillarity in this device process of use, air can be discharged between the end face 542 of test paper 53 and main component 51 through going out gas area 544.Because fusion of test paper 53 usefulness or viscose glue firmly are bonded on the main component 51, test paper 53 can stably support or be fastened on the main component 51 and prevent the undesirable space of being caused by the distortion of test paper 53 (for example crooked, reverse, fold or the like), successfully spreads thereby be convenient to liquid sample.
As shown in Figure 3, the part of main component 51 end faces 542 is recessed and form an annular gap 54 between end face 542 and test paper.This gap 54 helps liquid sample radially outwards to flow when liquid sample arrives the flow export 527 of passage 520.Like this, liquid sample can very fast and successfully be diffused on whole the test paper by capillarity.
Be suitable for most realizing above-mentioned functions although the degree of depth in gap 54 can be made, this degree of depth is preferably between the 0.04mm-0.4mm more preferably greater than 0.02mm (mean value).In this range of size, can effectively realize the above-mentioned functions in gap 54.In addition, the degree of depth in gap 54 can remain unchanged or change.
54 outer radial periphery has an annular sample storage tank 55 in the gap.It is dark that the size of this annular sample storage tank 55 is made ratio gap 54, is communicated with gap 54 simultaneously.This sample storage tank 55 is positioned at the inner radial that test paper 53 is cemented in the adhesion zone 512 on main component 51 end faces 542.But these annular sample storage tank 55 confined liquid samples radially outwards flow.That is, outwards flow along with the liquid sample in the passage 520 arrives helping radially of flow export 527 mat gaps 54, liquid sample arrives annular sample storage tank 55 and flows in this storage tank, thereby can't radially outwards flow to storage tank 55 outsides.Like this, liquid sample can't flow into test paper 53 and be cemented in adhesion zone 512 on the main component end face 542.Liquid sample also can't radially outwards flow to test paper periphery outside through the gas area that goes out that test paper 53 is cemented between the bonding pad 544 on main component 51 end faces 542.Thereby, even outside the excessive periphery that also can not drain to test paper of collected liquid sample.Because of the liquid sample contact and stick to the end of reading device 1 and polluted, this point is very important from the end that can prevent to read device 1.
The radially outer of storage tank 55 has a spacer assembly.In one embodiment of this invention, this spacer assembly is made of the circular projection or the projection separator 56 of four spaced apart.These separators can 90 ° the interval be spaced from each other.As shown in Figure 8, these separators 56 can guarantee that end face and the test paper 53 of reading device 1 when gathering-device 5 is on installing to the support 4 of reading device 1 separate.Gathering-device 5 is on installing to the support 4 of reading device 1 time, and the end face of support 4 is against these separators 56, thereby the end face that prevents support 4 is run into the test paper 53 of absorption liquid sample body.As shown in Figure 8, the axial dimension of separator 56 is greater than the thickness of test paper 53.Separator 56 makes test paper 53 can't contact the end of reading device 1, thereby liquid sample can not adhere to the reading device and pollute the reading device.
In addition, separator 56 can keep a constant partition distance between the illuminating part 41 of test paper 53 and photometric measurer 4 and light receiver member 42.Thereby the measuring error that the optical characteristics deviation that is caused by the change of the illuminating part 41 of test paper 53 and photometric measurer 4 and the distance between the light receiver member 42 causes can be reduced to minimum degree.Thereby raising measuring accuracy.
Shown in Fig. 3-5, an end at the tip 52 of main component 51 forms a sample and flows into end 521, and the other end at the tip 52 of main component 51 forms a sample outflow end portion 525.On the free end of sample inflow end 521 groove 522 is arranged.Groove 522 and passage 520 are vertical and extend between most advanced and sophisticated 52 the outer circumference surface and passage 520.Therefore, the two ends of groove 522 are all in most advanced and sophisticated 52 outer circumference surface upper shed.
Groove 522 can impel in the liquid sample flow channel 520.As shown in figure 12, when the sample at the tip 52 that makes main component 51 in order to obtain for example blood sample flowed into end 521 contact people's finger surface, groove 522 helped to prevent that passage 520 from being stopped up, and if there is not groove 522 just may stop up.Thereby blood or other liquid samples can successfully flow on the test paper 53 through this passage.
Referring to Fig. 6, total circumference of establishing groove 522 relative passages 520 is L 1And the internal diameter (at the enter the mouth internal diameter at 523 places of sample flow) of establishing passage 522 is d 1, circumference L 1Inner periphery length overall 2d with passage 520 1Preferably satisfy following relationship formula (I):
L 1<2d 1×50%(I)
Groove 522 and passage 520 are designed to satisfy the above-mentioned relation formula can rapidly, successfully begin aspiration sample (being that sample begins flow channel 520 by capillarity).
The degree of depth P of groove 522 1Preferably selected according to for example skin.Degree of depth P 1Generally, be preferably 0.2-1.8mm greater than 0.1mm.As degree of depth P 1Too little (being that groove 522 is too shallow), blood and so on sample just is difficult in the groove 522 and flows when then pressing too tightly on skin.
Should see that the shape of groove 522, quantity, position and other characteristics are not limited to shown in the accompanying drawing.As the sample at the tip 52 of main component 51 flows into end 521 and need not to obtain sample against skin when using gathering-device, shown in structure can add change.For example, can around the sample flow inlet 523 of passage 520, radially form a plurality of grooves 522 (for example being cruciform) or on passage 520, form a plurality of parallel grooves 522.
Shown in Fig. 3 and 8, the sample at the tip 52 of main component 51 flows out end 525 jut, this jut than the adjacent dimple that forms gap 54 vertically towards the concave region 540 of main component 51 projection slightly more.Thereby the radial inner end in gap 54 is the boundary with this jut.Test paper 53 shown in Fig. 3 and 8 against the end face of this jut.There is a circumferentially extending groove 526 that passage 520 is communicated with gap 54 on the end face of this jut.Thereby gap 54 is all led at the two ends of this groove 526.
Because this groove 526, flow through passage 520 liquid sample can from sample flow export 527 through this groove 526 to external diffusion.This helps sample to be diffused on whole the test paper 53.Thereby, liquid sample diffusion equably rapidly and, thus the characteristic that will measure can accurately be measured.
Referring to Fig. 7, the borderline phase of establishing groove 526 is L to total circumference of passage 520 2And the internal diameter (exporting the internal diameter at 527 places in sample flow) of establishing passage 520 is d 2, circumference L 2Inner periphery length overall 2d with passage 520 2Preferably satisfy following relationship formula (II):
L 2<2d 2×50%(II)
Groove 526 and passage 520 are designed to satisfy the above-mentioned relation formula can rapidly, successfully spread the liquid samples that flow out from the sample flow outlet 527 of passage 520.
The shape of groove 526 and position are not limited to shown in Fig. 3,7 and 8.For example, can around the sample flow outlet 527 of passage 520, form a plurality of circumferentially extending grooves 526 (for example being cruciform) or on passage 520, form a plurality of parallel grooves 526.
Using as shown in figure 12 when of the present invention, it is other that the tip 52 of this blood gathering-device is placed into due-in liquid collecting sample body (for example blood in people's the finger), thereby liquid sample is supplied with test paper 53 by capillarity by back in the suction passage 520 upwards.The internal diameter of passage 520 (mean value) is about 0.2mm-2.0mm, preferably is about 0.5mm-1.0mm.If the internal diameter of passage 520 is too big, liquid sample just is difficult to carry by capillarity.On the other hand, if the internal diameter of passage 520 is too little, the flowing velocity of liquid sample in passage 520 is just too slow, and it is just oversize that the sufficient liquid sample is offered test paper 53 required times.
The internal diameter of passage 520 or xsect can remain unchanged on the length of passage 520, but also can change.Length overall between 520 liang of openends of passage preferably is about 1mm-5mm, if it is then better to be about 2mm-4mm.
