More details about the test component may be found elsewhere in the present disclosure. See, for example,
In some embodiments, the detection device 10 may include a mounting structure 300. The mounting structure 300 may be used to fix the test component to the flat portion 120.
For example,
As shown in
In some embodiments, the number of first limiting component 310 may be one or more. For example , two first limiting components 310 may be disposed on the bottom wall of the cup 100, and the two first limiting components 310 may be spaced apart by a certain distance and located on two sides of the bottom end of the test component, ensuring that the test component is stably fixed on the mounting plane. In some embodiments, the two first limiting components 310 may be disposed symmetrically with respect to a midpoint in the lengthwise direction of the test component 200 so as to keep the test component 200 balanced. The lengthwise direction of the test component 200 may be parallel to a lengthwise direction of the flat portion 120, which may be indicated by an “X” in
In some embodiments, one of the two first limiting components 310 may be in a stripe shape, so that a degree of freedom of the test component 200 in one direction may be limited. In some embodiments, the shape of one of the two first limiting component 310 may be in an “L” shape, so that the degrees of freedom of the test component 200 in both directions may be limited by utilizing the “L” shaped limiting component.
In some embodiments, one of the two first limiting components 310 may include a limiting bar. In some embodiments, a distance between the bottom end of the limiting bar and the bottom end of the mounting plane may be controlled within a range. When the distance between the limiting bar and the mounting plane is within a suitable range, it may not only be convenient for mounting the test component, but also enables an accommodation of the test component, thereby avoiding a shaking of the detection.
In some embodiments, the cross-section of the limiting bar may be in a shape of, triangular, trapezoidal, circular, rectangular, triangle-like (e.g., one side of the triangle may be an arc), trapezoid-like (e.g., one side of the trapezoid may be an arc), rectangle-like (e.g., one side of the rectangle may be an arc), etc. The cross-section of the limiting bar may be a cross-section perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the limiting bar (i.e., the first limiting component). The lengthwise direction of the limiting bar may be a direction from an end of the limiting bar away from the test component to an end of the limiting bar close to the test component (e.g., indicated as “Y” in
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, the test component may be rectangular in shape, there may be two clamping slots 320, and two top corners of the top region of the rectangular test component may be clamped into the two clamping slots 320.
For example,
In some embodiments, the clamping assembly may include a mounting recess 350, and a mounting projection 360. The mounting recess 350 may be disposed on one of the bending portion 340 and the mounting platform 330 and the mounting projection 360 may be disposed on the other one of the bending portion 340 and the mounting platform 330. In this embodiment, the bending portion 340 may be bent so that the bending portion 340 and the mounting platform 330 may be relatively fixed. Specifically, after the test component is placed on the mounting plane, the bending portion 340 may be bent at a certain angle so that the mounting projection 360 is embedded in the mounting recess 350. The movement of the bending portion 340 may be limited by a relative abutment of the mounting recess 350 and the mounting projection 360, and then the movement of the test component may be limited. This embodiment may be used in combination with the mounting structure in other embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the bottom end and the top end of the test component may be limited by the one or more first limiting components 310 and one or more clamping slots 320, respectively, and then the test component may be further fixed by the mounting projection 360 and the mounting recess 350.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, the clamping assembly may include a second limiting component 370 disposed on the mounting platform. The second limiting component 370 may be able to cooperate with a portion of an outer edge of the bending portion 340 after bending to realize the clamping. The outer edge may include two side edges along a length direction of the bending portion 340, and the length direction of the bending portion 340 may be parallel to the length direction of the test component and the length direction of the mounting platform 330, as shown by the arrow “X” in

It may be noted that the clamping assembly described in
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, the bending portion 340 may be provided with a toggle portion 341. The toggle portion 341 may facilitate the bending of the bending portion 340 by a user. In some embodiments, the toggle portion 341 may be disposed at an end region of the bending portion 340 away from the test component, and the toggle portion 341 may protrude from a surface of the bending portion 340 (the surface provided with the mounting recess 350) to facilitate the user to control the bending portion 340 to bend using the toggle portion 341.
In some embodiments, the mounting structure may mount the test component in other modes in addition to the clamping mode. For example, the mounting structure may include a magnetic assembly, a screw-bolt assembly, an adhesive assembly (e.g., a Velcro), a clamp assembly, etc. Correspondingly, the test component may be disposed with a structure adapted to the limiting structure to cooperate with the limiting structure to fix the test component to the mounting platform 330. In some embodiments, the limiting structure may also be disposed on the mounting plane for fixing the test component to the mounting plane, which is not repeated here.
In some embodiments, the angle between the mounting platform 330 and the mounting plane may be controlled within a certain range so as to facilitate the coupling of the mounting recess 350 of the bending portion 340 with the mounting projection 360 on the mounting platform 330.
Beneficial effects that may be brought about by the detection device of the embodiments of the present disclosure may include, but not limited to:(1) by disposing a portion of the sidewall of the cup into a flat surface, and disposing the test component on the mounting plane corresponding to the flat surface, the user may be able to observe the test strip on the test component more clearly, and thus obtaining the detection result more conveniently; (2) by disposing the mounting platform on the top region of the mounting plane, and setting the corresponding mounting slots and mounting protrusions on the mounting platform and the bending portion, a fixing and disassembly of the test component may be implemented by controlling the bending of the bending section, which is not only convenient for the user to disassemble and replace the test component, but also ensures that the test component can be reliably fixed on the mounting plane; (3) by inclining the plane on which the opening of the cup is located relative to the plane where the bottom wall of the cup is located, on the one hand, it may be convenient for demolding, and on the other hand, it may be more convenient for the user to observe an internal situation of the cup from the opening, and it may be convenient to obtain the detection result of the test strip; (4) by inclining the flat portion of the cup at a certain angle relative to the bottom wall of the cup, it may be more convenient for the user to observe the test component disposed on the mounting plane from the opening, and it may be convenient to obtain the detection result of the test strip. At the same time, after inclining at a certain angle, an area of the flat portion may be expanded, so that more test strips may be disposed. It is to be noted that the beneficial effects generated by different embodiments may be different, and the beneficial effects generated in different embodiments may be any one or a combination of any one or more of the above, or may be any other beneficial effect obtained.
