According to reports, due to the changes in modern people's lifestyles and uneven eating habits, the body is prone to many metabolic diseases over time, and diabetes caused by long-term high blood sugar is one of them. Therefore, the birth of energy Blood sugar test strips for conveniently monitoring blood sugar, allowing patients with abnormal blood sugar to know the level of their own blood sugar at any time.

Currently, blood glucose test strips use an enzyme dispensing device to coat the reaction enzyme on the test strip. However, for high-speed and automated dispensing methods, how to accurately control the amount of reaction enzyme applied each time is affected. One of the important factors in the quality of blood glucose test strips.

Conventional feeding devices are usually equipped with an image module. The feeding situation of the feeding device on the object to be processed is observed through the image module, and the amount of feeding is judged based on the area of the feeding image observed by the image module. Use this to adjust the appropriate feeding amount. However, the feeding amount is easily affected by factors such as the preparation of the feeding material, ambient temperature and humidity, resulting in inaccurate feeding amount. Good feeding accuracy cannot be achieved by adjusting the feeding amount only through images. Furthermore, installing an image module on the feeding device requires high device costs and takes up a lot of space. In addition, during the image monitoring process, complex image processing and calculations are required from image capture to judgment control. Only through control can we achieve accurate image judgment. Therefore, it takes a long time and cannot continuously match the production speed to judge the image in real time and control and adjust the appropriate feeding amount. Therefore, it leads to the control between the control and the actual feeding. errors, thereby affecting production efficiency and production quality.
