Abstract:
1. A blood glucose monitoring system comprising: an automated blood collection device; a strip accommodation device formed integrally with a blood glucose measurement device so as to convert a rotary motion of an operating member into an upward linear motion of a carriage and to automatically eject one of a plurality of strips through an ejection hole formed thereon; and the blood glucose measurement device adapted to measure the concentration of glucose in the collected blood by means of the strip ejected from the strip accommodation device, wherein the strip accommodation device comprises a housing adapted to contain the plurality of strips arranged serially to collect blood thereon, the operating member disposed on an outer surface of the housing in such a manner as to be opened at one side thereof to insert the housing into the inside thereof and adapted to be rotated by a given angle around a rotary shaft disposed on the outer surface of the housing, and a first conveying member disposed on a given position in the housing and adapted to convert the rotary motion of the operating member into the upward linear motion of the carriage so as to eject the strip through the ejection hold to the outside; the strip accommodation device further comprises a second conveying member disposed on a given position in the housing in such a manner as to have one side opposite to the ejection hole formed on the housing so as to convey the strip not used yet to the ejection hole area; the operating member has a cover formed integrally therewith so as to seal the ejection hole when rotated in the opposite direction to the ejection direction of the strip after the used strip has been removed; and the first conveying member comprises: a lever rotated by the rotation of the operating member and having a protrusion formed at the opposite position to the rotary shaft of the operating member, wherein the carriage is adapted to be conveyed upwardly by the movement of the protrusion of the lever along a guide groove through the rotation of the lever and having a projection adapted to forcedly eject the strip positioned at the ejection hole area.
