Patent Description:
The present disclosure relates to a moisture-proof assembly, in particular, it relates to a moisture-proof assembly used in a physiological signal transmitter and/or its charging device.

With the recent advancements of current technology and changing lifestyles, some tests which had to be tested in the hospital in the past have now changed to home measurement. In particular, the change in lifestyles has led to an increase in patients with chronic diseases, which has accelerated the development of this industry. The measurement of blood glucose is a testing item, and the measurement of blood glucose concentration in the blood is an important step for effectively monitoring and treating diabetes. For the past two decades, the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system has developed rapidly. In addition, because the CGM system must be worn by the user for a long time, the miniaturization of the device has become an inevitable trend. Generally, the basic structure of the CGM system mostly includes a sensor, a transmitter and a sensor inserter. The sensor is used to measure the physiological signal corresponding to the glucose concentration in the human body. The transmitter is usually assembled with a patch base with a transmitter installed to receive and transmit the physiological signal. The sensor inserter is usually a mechanical device for attaching the patch base with the sensor installed to the skin surface of the living body, and enabling a part of the transmitter to be implanted under the skin of the user. The transmitter is a relatively expensive electronic element and usually contains the processing element for processing the signal from the transmitter and transmitting the processed signal in a wireless way. An exemplary sensing transmitter is disclosed by document <CIT>. Therefore, ideally if the transmitter is a reusable element, the purposes of environmental protection and cost reduction can be achieved. Hence, in order to allow the transmitter to be reused, it is necessary to supplement the power for the transmitter. In order to avoid the pollution of the waste battery which may be caused by using the ordinary battery, the battery in the transmitter is mostly a rechargeable battery. Thus, in this technical field, a charger used in conjunction with the transmitter is required.

In order to overcome the drawbacks in the prior art, a charging device for a physiological signal transmitter and a charging method for the same is disclosed. The particular design in the present disclosure not only solves the problems described above, but also it is easy to implement. Thus, the present disclosure has utility for the industry. In addition, since both the transmitter and the charger need to be used multiple times, in order to prevent damp and rust from failure, a moisture-proof assembly is needed to extend the service life of both and make it easy for users to carry.

In order to achieve the purpose of preventing moisture, when the transmitter and its charger are repeatedly used, the present disclosure provides a moisture-proof assembly. After the reusable transmitter is charged, the transmitter, the charger or both can be stored together in a moisture-proof assembly. To charge the transmitter, remove the transmitter from the seat and insert the transmitter into the charging device for charging.

In order to achieve the purpose of charging the transmitter, the present disclosure provides a charger to charge the reusable transmitter. When in use, the transmitter is disassembled from the patch base, and inserted into the charging device for charging.

In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, it is provided a moisture-proof assembly according to independent claim <NUM>, preferred embodiments are defined by the dependent claims.

The effects of the present disclosure are that the present assembly can provide power to the transmitter, and has a foolproof efficacy. This can prevent the damage to the charger or the transmitter resulting from the wrong transmitter disposing direction by the user. Because the direction of the electrical connection between the transmitter and the charger has an angle with the disposing direction of the transmitter on the charger, the present invention also has an ingenious mechanism to enable the charging connector to move so as to be electrically connected with the charger for charging. In addition, the present assembly also has a safety mechanism, which can prevent the improper impact caused by the movement of the charging connector when the transmitter is not correctly placed. Furthermore, in order to prevent the transmitter from shaking or even falling out on the charger, the charger also has a positioning mechanism, which can block the transmitter so that it is not easily detached from the charger.

The above objectives and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent to those ordinarily skilled in the art after reviewing the following detailed descriptions and accompanying drawings, in which:.

The present disclosure will now be described more specifically with reference to the following embodiments. It is to be noted that the following descriptions of preferred embodiments are presented herein for the purposes of illustration and description only; they are not intended to be exhaustive or to be limited to the precise form disclosed.

Please refer to <FIG>. <FIG> are presented at different angles to fully show the relative positions and connecting relationships among elements and structures. As shown in <FIG>, a charging device <NUM> has a main body <NUM>, usually a shell-shaped object, for disposing and protecting the required elements and structures therein. The charging device <NUM> also has a placing portion <NUM> having a bearing surface <NUM>' for placing the physiological signal transmitter <NUM> (hereinafter referred to as the transmitter <NUM>). The placing portion <NUM> is similar to a slot or a pocket-like structure, and formed by a cover plate 10a1 with the bearing surface <NUM>' for the transmitter <NUM> to be laterally inserted thereinto. In other embodiments, the placing portion <NUM> is also not limited to other configurations. In <FIG>, when the transmitter <NUM> is correctly placed in the placing portion <NUM>, a baffle <NUM> protrudes from a baffle outlet <NUM> to position the transmitter <NUM> in the placing portion <NUM> to prevent the transmitter <NUM> from leaving the placing portion <NUM>. At the same time, a plug <NUM> (or referred to as a third electrical connecting port) also protrudes out of the body <NUM>. <FIG> and <FIG> disclose that there is an opening <NUM> (or referred to as a lifting channel) in the placing portion13 for a charging seat <NUM> of a second electrical connecting port <NUM>' to lift therein; that is, a placing portion <NUM> is formed on the outside or top of the second electrical connecting port <NUM>' or the charging pedestal <NUM>. In addition, in order to avoid the abnormal movement of the charging seat <NUM>, a guiding portion <NUM> is further disposed in the opening <NUM> (please see Fig. 5E) to prevent the charging seat <NUM> from shaking on all sides or rotating in the lifting process, and a sliding groove <NUM>' is formed between the guiding portion <NUM>. Moreover, a first conductive connector31, usually in the form of a gold finger, is fixed on the charging seat <NUM> for being electrically connecting to the electrical connecting port <NUM> of the transmitter <NUM> of <FIG>. Furthermore, <FIG> and <FIG> disclose that in the placing portion <NUM>, upper restricting ribs <NUM> are disposed on the inner surface of the cover plate 10a1, and side restricting ribs <NUM> are disposed on the inner surfaces of the two side walls of the cover plate 10a1 to reduce the contact area between the charging device <NUM> and the transmitter <NUM> so as to reduce the frictional force when placing or removing the transmitter <NUM> in the charging device <NUM>. Moreover, the restricting ribs <NUM>, <NUM> also helps the transmitter <NUM> to be positioned on the charging seat <NUM>, and prevents the transmitter <NUM> from shaking or being difficult to remove. Furthermore, when producing the upper housing 10a, the restricting ribs <NUM>, <NUM> also help the upper housing 10a to be separated from the mold. The cover plate 10a1 is used to shield the opening <NUM>, which is beneficial to the electrostatic protection, and can also prevent improper foreign objects from hitting the first conductive connector <NUM> and/or the charging seat <NUM>. In another embodiment, the charging device <NUM> can also omit the cover plate 10a1, or can appropriately shield the front, the side, and the top of the transmitter <NUM> without the cover plate 10a1. In addition, the push-pull key <NUM> for controlling the operating module <NUM> (please refer to <FIG>) protrudes out of the housing <NUM>, and the user controls the action of the operating module <NUM> via the push-pull key <NUM>.

Please refer to <FIG>, which discloses that when the transmitter <NUM> is not placed at a predetermined position, e.g. having not been placed or being not correctly placed in the placing portion <NUM>, an actuating end <NUM> protrudes into the placing portion <NUM>. The actuating end <NUM> belongs to a first locking module <NUM> (also referred to as a stopping module <NUM>). When the transmitter <NUM> is correctly placed in the placing portion <NUM>, the actuating end <NUM> is pressed to move downward. The detailed operating principle will be described later (please refer to <FIG> and <FIG>).

Please refer to <FIG>. The push-pull key <NUM> is disposed at the bottom of the housing <NUM>, and further has a positioning block <NUM>. A first positioning groove 103a and a second positioning groove 103b are correspondingly formed on the housing <NUM>. The positioning block <NUM> of <FIG> is engaged with the first positioning groove 103a to maintain the push-pull key <NUM> in the first operating state. When the user presses the push-pull key <NUM> toward the inside of the housing <NUM>, the positioning block <NUM> can be separated from the first positioning groove. Then, when the push-pull key <NUM> is pushed to the second positioning groove 103b, the positioning block <NUM> can be engaged with the second positioning groove 103b (please refer to Fig. <NUM>). Please refer to <FIG>, which discloses a rear (back part) view of the charging device <NUM>. The restricting ribs <NUM> are disposed on the inner surfaces of the cover plate 10a1. Moreover, it also can be seen that a first matching portion <NUM> is protrudingly disposed at the deepest part of the placing portion <NUM>. Please refer to <FIG>, which discloses that the width W2 of the placing portion <NUM> of the charging device <NUM> is less than or equal to the width W1 of the transmitter <NUM>. When the user wants to take out the transmitter <NUM>, he can conveniently hold and clamp the transmitter <NUM> from the left and right sides of the placing portion <NUM> without clamping the charging device <NUM> at the same time.

Please refer to <FIG>, which is an exploded view according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. It can be seen that the housing (body) <NUM> in <FIG> can be further divided into an upper housing 10a and a lower housing 10b. The upper housing 10a includes the aforementioned indicating area <NUM>, the cover plate 10al, and the placing portion <NUM> having a bearing surface <NUM>' formed thereon, most of which have been described above, and will not be repeated here. A second matching portion <NUM> is formed on the transmitter <NUM>. As described above, it can be seen in <FIG> that the shape of the indicating area <NUM> is similar to that of the second matching portion <NUM>. This design can be used to visually remind the user of the direction to put the transmitter <NUM> into the charging device. The first matching portion <NUM> on the charging device is a convex shape (please refer to <FIG>), and the second matching portion <NUM> on the transmitter <NUM> is a concave shape. When the first matching portion and the second matching portion are combined with each other, a foolproof structure is formed, and the first connecting port <NUM> and the opening <NUM> are correctly aligned (not shown).

Please continue to refer to <FIG>. The charging device <NUM> includes a charging module <NUM>. The charging module includes a second electrical connecting port <NUM>', a circuit assembly <NUM>, and a third connecting port <NUM>. The second connecting port <NUM>' includes a charging seat <NUM>, and a first conductive connector <NUM> and a second conductive connector <NUM> are disposed on the charging seat <NUM>. The first conductive connector <NUM> is usually a golden finger type connector for transmitting the power and the signal. The second conductive connector <NUM> is usually a pogo pin for serving as the ground. On the lateral side of the charging seat <NUM>, there is a second guiding structure <NUM> to serve as a sliding element, and the first sliding element <NUM> is disposed on the charging seat <NUM> via a sliding element pedestal <NUM>. The circuit assembly <NUM> is used to perform the charging and the charging control or the signal transmitting control for the physiological signal transmitter. One end of the circuit assembly <NUM> is a circuit board <NUM>. The circuit board <NUM> is equipped with a light-emitting element <NUM> and other related electronic elements, and electrically connected to the first conductive connector <NUM> and the second conductive connector <NUM>. Above the light-emitting element <NUM>, there is a light-guiding element <NUM>' disposed in the upper housing 10a. The light-guiding element <NUM>' is usually located in the first matching portion <NUM> (please see <FIG>), and its shape is usually just fit the indicating area <NUM>. Therefore, the indicating area <NUM> is made of a transparent or translucent material, or itself serves as a part of the light-guiding element <NUM>'; that is, the shape of the light-guiding element <NUM>' is corresponding to the second matching portion <NUM>, and the indicator area <NUM> also serves as a light signal area. The other end of the circuit assembly <NUM> is a flexible electrical connecting element <NUM>, which is usually a flexible printed circuit for maintaining the electrical connection with the plug <NUM> serving as a third electrical connecting port to input power source. The flexible electrical connecting element <NUM> can also be replaced with a sliding pin conductive structure or a sliding rail conductive structure.

Please continue to refer to <FIG>. The charging device <NUM> includes an operating module <NUM>. The operating module <NUM> includes an operating portion <NUM> for driving the second electrical connecting port <NUM> to be electrically connected to the first electrical connecting port <NUM> of the transmitter <NUM>. The operating portion <NUM> has a third electrical connecting port <NUM> assembled thereon, and has a first guiding structure <NUM>. The first guiding structure <NUM> is usually a sliding rail or a sliding groove for coupling with the first sliding element <NUM>. When the operating portion <NUM> is driven to move laterally, the first guiding structure <NUM> guides the first sliding element <NUM> to move longitudinally, thereby driving the charging seat <NUM> to move up and down. Hence, the first sliding element <NUM> also serves as a second guiding structure. In addition, the aforementioned push-pull key <NUM> is disposed below the operating portion <NUM>; that is, the user drives the operating portion <NUM> to move laterally via the push-pull key <NUM> (for the detailed operations, please refer to <FIG> and <FIG>). The push-pull key <NUM> and the operating portion <NUM> can be integrally formed, or they are respectively independent elements.

Please continue to refer to <FIG>. The charging device <NUM> further includes a first locking module <NUM> (or referred to as a stopping module <NUM> and a first locking portion <NUM>) for releasably restricting the movement of the second electrical connecting port <NUM>'. One end of the stopping module <NUM> is an actuating end <NUM>, and the other end thereof is a stopping end <NUM>. The actuating end <NUM> extends into the placing portion <NUM>, i.e. protruding from the bearing surface <NUM>', and the stopping end <NUM> is coupled with a blocked portion <NUM> disposed on the operating portion <NUM>; that is, the blocked portion <NUM> is blocked by the stopping end <NUM> so that it cannot move laterally. Therefore, the operating portion <NUM> cannot guide the first sliding element <NUM> to move longitudinally via the first guiding structure <NUM>. Hence, the first locking module <NUM> achieves the effect of indirectly restricting the movement of the second electrical connecting port <NUM>'. Moreover, the first locking module <NUM> further includes an elastic element <NUM> for keeping the actuating end <NUM> normally extending into the placing portion <NUM> when the transmitter <NUM> is not placed in the placing portion <NUM>. At this time, the stopping end <NUM> also keeps normally stopping the blocked portion <NUM>. There is a pivoting portion <NUM> between the actuating end <NUM> and the stopping end <NUM>. The pivoting portion <NUM> is pivoted to the pivoting frame 10b2 of the lower housing 10b. When the actuating end <NUM> is pressed by the transmitter <NUM>, the first locking module <NUM> can rotate with the pivoting portion <NUM> as the center of rotation, and rotate with the pivoting frame 10b2 as the fulcrum (for detailed front and rear operations, please refer to <FIG> and <FIG>).

Please continue to refer to <FIG>. The charging device <NUM> further includes a second locking module <NUM> (or referred to as a second locking portion <NUM>, a positioning module <NUM>, and a baffle <NUM>). The positioning module <NUM> is disposed on the charging device <NUM> near the rear side, has a baffle <NUM> which can extend from the baffle exit <NUM> to reach the placing portion <NUM>, and has an elastic element <NUM> for providing the baffle <NUM> with an elastic force to enable the baffle <NUM> to extend from the baffle outlet <NUM>. The second locking module <NUM> also has a first connecting end <NUM> for connecting to the second connecting end <NUM>. The second locking module <NUM> also has a guiding structure <NUM>, which is a notch, coupled to a guiding element 10b1 of the lower housing 10b so that the baffle <NUM> can only move in the up and down directions without shifting or rotating (for the detailed operations, please refer to <FIG> and <FIG>). In other embodiments, a part of the charging module <NUM>, the operating module <NUM>, the first locking module <NUM>, or the second locking module <NUM> can form a housing structure similar to the lower housing 10b to form an internal space with the upper housing <NUM> to accommodate various elements (not shown). The operating module <NUM>, the first locking module <NUM>, and the second locking module <NUM> are collectively referred to as a controlling module. The controlling module is used to control the operating process between the transmitter <NUM> and the charging module <NUM> to maintain a safe state so that when the transmitter <NUM> and the second electrical connecting ports <NUM>' are separated or connected, the transmitter <NUM> can both be protected. This prevents the parts from being damaged due to the improper operation by the user (for the detailed operations, please refer to <FIG>). In other embodiments, the first locking module <NUM> or the second locking module <NUM> respectively collocates with the operating module <NUM>, and the first locking module <NUM>, the second locking module <NUM>, and the operating module <NUM> are collectively referred to as a control module.

Please refer to <FIG>, wherein 3A shows that the transmitter <NUM> is detachably disposed on a sensor module <NUM> and connected to the sensor assembly <NUM>, and the sensor module <NUM> includes a sensor pedestal <NUM> and the sensor assembly <NUM>. The sensor pedestal <NUM> can be adhered to the skin S through an adhesive sheet ST, at this time the transmitter <NUM> is configured to transmit the signal from the sensor <NUM> to the outside.

Please refer to <FIG>. The transmitter <NUM> includes a battery <NUM> and a first electrical-connecting port <NUM> having an input portion <NUM> which has a groove structure used to match the structure of either the sensor assembly <NUM> or a second electrical-connecting port <NUM> and an insert hole <NUM> equipped with an input terminal <NUM> and a secondary input terminal <NUM>. The battery <NUM> provides electric power for the operation such as signal output of the transmitter <NUM>. The input terminal <NUM> is used for electrically connecting the output terminal <NUM> or the first conductive connector <NUM>. In addition, the transmitter <NUM> also includes a first buckling structure <NUM> for buckling and fixing with the second buckling structure <NUM> of the sensor pedestal <NUM>. The sensor assembly <NUM> is fixed in the sensor assembly fixing structure <NUM> of the sensor base <NUM>. The piercing end <NUM> of the sensor <NUM> penetrates the subcutaneous tissue SC, while the output terminal <NUM> of the sensor <NUM> enters the input portion <NUM> and is electrically connected to the input terminal <NUM> in the transmitter <NUM>, so the signal measured by the sensor <NUM> can be transmitted to the outside through the transmitter <NUM>. In order to prevent the transmitter <NUM> from being installed on the sensor base <NUM> in a wrong direction, the sensor pedestal <NUM> further includes a matching positioning portion <NUM> for matching with the second matching portion <NUM>, so that when a user tends to cover the transmitter <NUM> on the sensor base80, the installation direction can be identified through the appearance of the structure to achieve the effect of being foolproof. The transmitter <NUM> of the present disclosure is only one embodiment thereof, and the charging device <NUM> of the present disclosure can also be applied to other types of transmitters. The physiological signal transmitter <NUM> used in the present disclosure usually includes a sensor transmitter <NUM>. The body <NUM> also includes a circuit board <NUM>, a battery <NUM> electrically connected to the circuit board <NUM>, and a first electrical connecting port <NUM> exposed to the outside.

Please refer to <FIG>, which illustrate the state when the charging device <NUM> is not furnished with the transmitter <NUM>. Please refer to <FIG> for the reference numeral of each component. In <FIG> and <FIG>, the charging module <NUM> is in the first operating state, the second electrical connecting port <NUM> is not actuated to be placed at the first position (corresponding to the bearing surface <NUM>' in the retracted state) inside the opening <NUM>, i.e., a non-charging position, the opening <NUM> includes a sliding groove <NUM>', the circuit assembly <NUM> is disposed in the housing <NUM> and including a circuit board <NUM> and an electrical connecting element <NUM>. The circuit board <NUM> is equipped with a light-emitting element <NUM>, and is electrically connected to the first conductive connector <NUM> in the charging seat <NUM>. The electrical connector <NUM> is a flexible material that is electrically connected to the electrical connection plug <NUM>, usually by welding on the output end of the plug <NUM>. The upper housing 10a has a light-guiding element <NUM>' disposed in the indicating area <NUM> at the front and a baffle exit <NUM> at the rear, wherein a baffle <NUM> sheathed in the guiding element 10b1 is disposed in the baffle exit <NUM>. The operating portion <NUM> is also disposed in the housing <NUM>. A push-pull key <NUM> is disposed at the bottom of the operating portion 40a, and the electrical connecting plug <NUM> is also locked with the fixing block 40a on the operating portion <NUM>. In another embodiment, the push-pull key can be designed as to be actuated by the other methods.

Please refer to <FIG> and <FIG>. A first matching portion <NUM> for matching with the second matching portion <NUM> of the transmitter <NUM> is disposed in the placing portion <NUM> corresponding to the front of the housing <NUM>, rendering the transmitter <NUM> to be placed at a pre-determined position. The operating module <NUM> is in the first operating state, wherein the first guiding structure <NUM> of the operating portion <NUM> is coupled to the second guiding structure <NUM> of the charging seat <NUM>, and the second guiding structure <NUM> is not yet sliding in the first guiding structure <NUM> at this moment. In <FIG> and <FIG>, the first guiding structure <NUM> is an oblique groove with an inclined surface guiding the movement of the second guide structure <NUM>. The operating portion <NUM> has a blocked portion <NUM> that is locked or stopped by the stopping end <NUM> of the first locking module <NUM>. Therefore, when the push-pull key <NUM> tends to drive the operating portion <NUM> due to an external force or shaking of the operating portion <NUM> itself, the first guiding structure <NUM> will not drive the second guiding structure <NUM>, thereby preventing the second electrical connecting port <NUM> from being accidentally driven toward the second position (corresponding to the bearing surface <NUM>' in an extended state). Furthermore, because the first conductive connector <NUM> is lighter and more compact, the potential issue of damage to the first conductive connector <NUM> if a user wants to force the transmitter <NUM> in or out can also be avoided. <FIG> further discloses the position of the actuating end <NUM> of the first locking module <NUM> extending into the placing portion13. A pivot portion <NUM> pivoted on the pivot frame 10b2 of the lower housing 10b between the actuating end <NUM> and the stopping end <NUM> of the first locking module (stop part) <NUM>, so the first locking module <NUM> has a structure similar to a rocker. When the actuating end <NUM> is pressed down, the stopping end <NUM> rises (see <FIG>). In addition, an elastic element <NUM> connects the first locking module <NUM> with the lower housing 10b, to provide elastic force to maintain the moving end <NUM> protruding from the bearing surface <NUM>' when under a condition the transmitter <NUM> is not placed in the charging device <NUM> (that is, when the actuating end <NUM> is not depressed).

Please refer to <FIG>, showing when the second guiding structure <NUM> is not driven by the first guiding structure <NUM>, and the sliding element pedestal <NUM> does not follow the second guiding structure <NUM> to move, in order to avoid a moving of the charging seat <NUM> in an unexpected direction. The present disclosure is further provided with at least one guiding portion <NUM> on the outside of the opening <NUM> to form a sliding groove <NUM>', so that the sliding groove <NUM>' and the opening <NUM> are connected with each other and the sliding element pedestal <NUM> is guiding the second electrical connecting port <NUM> in the sliding groove <NUM>' to expand and contract from the opening <NUM> in a fixed direction. The second locking module <NUM> further includes a first connecting end <NUM>. When under the first operating state, the operating portion <NUM> is at the first position, and the second connecting end <NUM> is connected with the first connecting end <NUM> to prevent the baffle <NUM> from being pushed by the elastic element <NUM>. At this moment, the second electrical connecting port <NUM> is located at a first position (contracted state relative to the bearing surface <NUM>'), so that the second locking module <NUM> is pressed down to keep the baffle <NUM> inside the baffle exit <NUM>, that is, not extending out of the baffle exit <NUM>, and the second locking module <NUM> releases the positioning of the transmitter <NUM> to allow the transmitter <NUM> to be inserted in or taken out of the placing portion <NUM>.

Please refer to <FIG>, which discloses another embodiment of the first locking module of the charging device in the present disclosure, wherein the first locking module is replaced with a locking block <NUM>, which has a sliding body <NUM>, one end of which is an actuating end <NUM> and the other end is a stopping end <NUM>, and the second guiding structure <NUM> of the charging module protrudes outside the first guiding structure <NUM> and is blocked by the stopping end <NUM> on the top. When the transmitter <NUM> is not placed in the placement portion <NUM>, the locking block <NUM> is normally moved toward the baffle <NUM> due to the spring <NUM> (that is, the pushing force in the opening direction of the placing portion <NUM>). Thus, when the second guiding structure <NUM> is pushed upward by the first guiding structure <NUM>, it will be blocked by the stopping end <NUM> and cannot move upwardly. On the other hand, when the transmitter <NUM> is inserted into the placement portion <NUM> in the correct direction, that is, the second matching portion <NUM> is facing inward, the transmitter <NUM> can push the actuating end <NUM> to move deeper into the placement portion <NUM>, and then drive the locking block <NUM> moves in the same direction. At this time, the stopping end <NUM> is moved away from the upper side of the second guiding structure <NUM>. Therefore, when the user drives the first guiding structure <NUM> through the push-pull key <NUM>, the second guide structure <NUM> is driven upward, and the stop end <NUM> no longer blocks the second guiding structure <NUM>. According to the abovementioned embodiment, the first blocking module can restrict the movement of the second electrical connecting port <NUM>' by the releasable coupling of the stopping module with the charging module or the operating module. The restriction of the movement that the first locking module to the second electrical connecting port may be a complete prohibition or merely a partial displacement but unable to render an effective contact with the first electrical connecting port <NUM> (<FIG>).

Please refer to <FIG>, which respectively show the state when the transmitter <NUM> is placed at the pre-determined location in the charging device <NUM> and the operating portion <NUM> is controlled to drive the second electrical connecting port <NUM>' to protrude the bearing surface <NUM>'. Please also refer to the reference numeral of each component in <FIG> and <FIG>, which will not be repeated hereinafter. <FIG> shows the state when the transmitter <NUM> is placed at a pre-determined location of the bearing surface <NUM>' of the charging device <NUM>. Even when the transmitter <NUM> is in a relatively correct position, the actuating end <NUM> is actuated by the transmitter <NUM> to detect whether the transmitter <NUM> is at a predetermined position. When the transmitter <NUM> is at the predetermined position, the stop end <NUM> releases the locking to the operating portion <NUM> to allow the operating portion <NUM> to drive the second electrical connecting port <NUM>' to move between the first position and the second position, and to form a connection or separation with the first electrical connecting port <NUM>. In <FIG>, being at the predetermined location, the transmitter <NUM> presses the actuating end <NUM> to rotate the first locking module <NUM>, and at the same moment, the stopping end <NUM> is lifted and releases the blocked portion <NUM> so as to release the movement restriction of the second electrical connecting port. At this moment, the elastic element <NUM> is compressed, and after the transmitter <NUM> is taken out, the elastic restoring force of the elastic element <NUM> will drive the actuating end <NUM> to extend upward to the placing portion <NUM> (the same as the state in <FIG>).

Please refer to <FIG>, showing the state when the operating portion <NUM> is controlled to drive the second electrical connecting port <NUM>' from the first positing moving toward the second position, after the transmitter <NUM> is placed on the placing portion <NUM> and the push-pull key <NUM> is operated to push out a part of the electrical connecting plug <NUM>. 5B-5D, when the pushing is in the direction to the right, the stopping end <NUM> of the first locking module (the first locking portion) <NUM> has been lifted and can no longer stop the blocked part <NUM>, the second electrical connecting port <NUM>' releases the movement restriction, and the push-pull button <NUM> drives the operating portion <NUM> to move in the same direction. Meanwhile, the first guiding structure <NUM> pushes the second guiding structure <NUM> to move upward, and then drives the charging seat <NUM> to move upward from the opening <NUM> and toward the first electrical connecting port <NUM> of the sensor <NUM> (in conjunction with <FIG> and <FIG>) while having the first conductive connector <NUM> move toward the insert hole <NUM> (see <FIG>). At the same time, the electrical connecting plug <NUM> partially extends out of the opening <NUM>. In addition, when the operating portion <NUM> moves to the right, the second connecting end <NUM> is separated from the first connecting end <NUM> of the second locking portion <NUM> (as shown in <FIG>), so the elasticity potential of the elastic element <NUM> due to the pressing can be released to push the baffle <NUM> out of the baffle exit <NUM> and stop the rear end of the transmitter <NUM> to achieve the effect of positioning the transmitter <NUM> on the placing portion <NUM>. Please refer to <FIG>, which shows the state where the transmitter <NUM> is hidden to illustrate the placing portion <NUM> alone after the transmitter <NUM> is placed, the push-pull key <NUM> is operated to push out a part of the electrical connecting plug <NUM>, and the charging seat <NUM> and the first conductive connector <NUM> thereof is at the location during escalating in the opening <NUM>. Please refer to <FIG>, showing the state in which the operating portion <NUM> is controlled to drive the second electrical connecting port <NUM>' at the second position, and the electrical connecting plug <NUM> is fully pushed out after the transmitter <NUM> is inserted. Please also refer to the reference numeral of each component in <FIG> <FIG>, which will not be repeated hereinafter. In <FIG> and <FIG>, when the movement restriction of the first locking module <NUM> over the second electrical connecting port <NUM> is released, the operating portion <NUM> drives the second electrical connecting port <NUM>' moves from the first position to the second position (relative to the bearing surface <NUM>' in an extended state) in the opening <NUM> and is electrically connected to the first electrical connecting port <NUM>, i.e. a charging position, wherein the charging seat <NUM> extends from the opening <NUM> to achieve the connection with the first electrical connection port <NUM>, making the first conductive connector <NUM> enters the insert hole <NUM> and is electrically connected to the input terminal <NUM> of the transmitter <NUM> (the position shown in <FIG>). The push-pull key <NUM> is pushed to the front of the housing <NUM>, which is the right most portion in the drawing, and the electrical connecting plug <NUM> also completely extends out of the opening <NUM>. At this situation, the circuit board <NUM> is also lifted to the highest position, and the light-emitting element <NUM> is the closest to the light-guiding element <NUM>'. At this moment, the illumination of the light-emitting element <NUM> can be transmitted to the indicating area <NUM> through the light-guiding element <NUM>' and makes overall operating process have both foolproof and light-guiding effects, and the internal space of the charging device <NUM> is effectively used to make the charging device <NUM> miniaturized.

At this time, the light-emitting element <NUM> is ready to illuminate. When the electrical connecting plug <NUM> is plugged into an external power source such as an AC power adapter, a computer USB socket, a car charging adapter or a device equipped with a USB socket (please refer to the charger <NUM> in Figure <NUM> which can be plugged into a USB socket on a personal computer <NUM>, the charger <NUM> in Figure 6I which can be plugged into a mobile phone charger <NUM> or a car cigarette light USB adapter <NUM> in Figure 6J), etc., so that the light-emitting element <NUM> can illuminate and provide indication and instructions, and indicate the usage status of the charger <NUM> by different light-emitting colors and patterns.

Please refer to <FIG>, the operating module <NUM> is in the second operating state. It can be seen that when the push-pull key <NUM> is pushed to the end of front direction of the housing <NUM>, the operating portion <NUM> has also reached the position closest to the front end of the housing <NUM>, and at this time the second guiding structure <NUM> is also pushed up to the highest position by the first guiding structure <NUM>. Relatively, the state of the electrical connecting plug <NUM> in <FIG> is pushed out, while in <FIG> is withdrawn back. <FIG> discloses that the sliding element pedestal <NUM> has also lifted to a high position of the sliding groove <NUM>', and the second connecting end <NUM> of the second locking portion (baffle <NUM>) <NUM> is separated from the first connecting end <NUM>, so the elasticity potential of the elastic element <NUM> that was originally pressed can be released to push the baffle <NUM> out of the baffle exit <NUM> and stop the rear end of the transmitter <NUM> so as to hold the transmitter <NUM> on the placing portion <NUM>, positioning and locking the transmitter <NUM>, so as to prevent the first electrical connecting port <NUM> and the second connecting port <NUM>' in electrical connection from accidentally picking and placing the transmitter <NUM> and damaging the second connecting port <NUM>. Furthermore, at the same moment, the second electrical connection port <NUM>' is in a second position (relative to the bearing surface <NUM>' in an protruding state), the baffle <NUM> extends out of the baffle outlet <NUM>, so that the second locking portion <NUM> positions the transmitter <NUM> on the bearing surface <NUM>' and prevents the transmitter <NUM> from being put in or taken out from the placing portion <NUM> to protect the first conductive connector <NUM> of the second electrical connecting port <NUM>' from being damaged by improper operation of the transmitter <NUM>. When the charging module <NUM> is in the third operating state, that is, when the operating portion <NUM> drives the second electrical connecting port <NUM>' to move from the second position back to the first position to separate from the first electrical connecting port <NUM>, and the operating portion <NUM>, after through the second connecting end <NUM> pressing the first connecting end <NUM> and lowering the baffle <NUM> (referring to the operating state as shown in <FIG>), which drives the second locking portion <NUM> to retract to the bearing surface <NUM>' to release the positioning lock of the transmitter <NUM>, so that the first connecting port <NUM> and the second connection port <NUM>' is in a separated state then the sensor <NUM> can be taken out. Referring to <FIG>, which shows an embodiment that the push-pull key <NUM> is located closest to the front end of the housing <NUM>, and the positioning block <NUM> can be snapped into the second positioning groove 103b at the same time. After the charging is completed, the first electrical connecting plug <NUM> is first disconnected from the external power source, and when the push-pull key <NUM> is pressed into the housing <NUM> (please refer to <FIG>), the positioning block <NUM> is separated from the second positioning groove 103b, and the push-pull key <NUM> can be pushed toward the first positioning groove 103a, and finally the positioning block <NUM> returns into the first positioning groove 103a. At this time, the charging seat <NUM> is completely lowered, and the baffle <NUM> also returns to the baffle exit <NUM> without blocking the transmitter <NUM>, so the transmitter <NUM> can be removed from the placing portion <NUM> at this time in order to prevent the first electrical connection port <NUM> and the second connection port <NUM>'in electrical connection from damaging the second connection port <NUM>' due to accidentally taking or placing the transmitter <NUM>. Furthermore, at this moment, the second electrical connection port <NUM>' is at a second position (relative to the bearing surface <NUM>' in an extended state), the baffle <NUM> extends out of the baffle outlet <NUM>, so that the second locking portion <NUM> restricts the transmitter <NUM> at the position of the bearing surface <NUM>' and the transmitter <NUM> cannot be put in or taken out from the placing portion <NUM> to protect the first conductive connector <NUM> of the second electrical connection port <NUM>' from being damaged by mis-operation to the transmitter <NUM>. When the charging module <NUM> is in the third operating state, that is, when the operating portion <NUM> drives the second electrical connection port <NUM>' to move from the second position back to the first position to separate from the first electrical connection port <NUM>, and the operating portion <NUM>, after through the second connecting end <NUM> pressing the first connecting end <NUM> and lowering the baffle <NUM> (referring to the operating state as shown in <FIG>), which drives the second locking portion <NUM> to retract to the bearing surface <NUM>' to release the positioning lock of the transmitter <NUM>, so that the first connecting port <NUM> and the second connection port <NUM>' is in a separated state then the sensor <NUM> can be taken out. See <FIG>, it can be seen that the operation of the push-pull key <NUM> is in conjunction with the positioning method among the positioning block <NUM>, the first positioning groove 103a and the second positioning groove 103b, which can reduce friction loss of the opening <NUM> caused by improper operation and improves the durability of the operating structure of the USB connector <NUM>. In another embodiment, the sliding design of the push-pull key <NUM> does not need to press the button into the housing <NUM>.

Please refer to <FIG> and <FIG> both. The numerals of the devices are referred to those in <FIG> and the other drawings. As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, the housing <NUM> is removed to fully disclose the relative positions of and the connection relationship between the controlling module <NUM> and the charging module <NUM>. <FIG> shows the first operating state of the present disclosure, wherein the second guiding structure <NUM> is located at the first position in the first guiding structure <NUM>, where it is usually at a low position, so that the charging seat <NUM> of the second electrical connection port <NUM>' is maintained in a retracted position relative to the bearing surface <NUM>'. It can be seen from the previous drawings and descriptions that the charging seat <NUM> can only move up and down. Therefore, in order to prevent the charging seat <NUM> from an accidental up-and-down movement resulting from a vertical shaking, where the movement drives a movement of the controlling module <NUM> consequently, the first guiding structure <NUM> of the present disclosure is designed to be a guiding groove structure, and a first transverse groove 41a extends to form at the first position, wherein the extending direction is perpendicular to the moving direction of the second guiding structure <NUM>. Therefore, when the charging module <NUM> is shaken in a direction parallel to the moving direction of the charging seat <NUM>, because the extending direction of the first horizontal groove 41a is perpendicular to the moving direction of the second guiding structure <NUM>, the movement of the charging seat <NUM> resulting from the shaking can be prevented. <FIG> shows the second operating state according to the present disclosure, where the operating portion <NUM> is pushed forward, so that the second guiding structure <NUM> is located at the second position of the first guiding structure <NUM>, usually at a high place, so that the charging seat <NUM> is kept at an extended position opposite to the bearing surface. The first guiding structure <NUM> of the present disclosure further extends at the second position to form a second groove 41b, where the direction it further extends is perpendicular to the moving direction of the second guiding structure <NUM>, so as to prevent the charging seat <NUM> from moving resulting from the shaking in a direction parallel to its moving direction. Please further refer to <FIG> and <FIG> in conjunction with <FIG>, where the first conductive connector <NUM> and the second conductive connector <NUM> are inserted on the circuit board <NUM>, and the charging module <NUM> (as shown in <FIG>) of <FIG> is in a state ready to charge.

Please refer to <FIG> shows a vertical cross-sectional view of the charging module and the controlling module according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. It is shown that the baffle <NUM> is directly connected to the charging seat <NUM> through a connecting element <NUM>', so that the lifting and lowering of both are completely synchronized. The charging seat <NUM> can also be integrally formed with the baffle <NUM> and the connecting element <NUM>'. In other words, the charging module <NUM> can be integrally formed with the baffle <NUM> which serves as the second locking module. The controlling module <NUM> and the charging module <NUM> are coupled and moved interactively by a magnetic force. There is a first magnetic element MP1 disposed under the charging module <NUM>, and there are a second magnetic element MP2 and a third magnetic element MP2 on the controlling module <NUM>. The first magnetic element MP1 magnetically repulses the second magnetic element MP2, and attracts the third magnetic element MP3. Accordingly, when the controlling module <NUM> is in the second operating state (i.e. it is pushed to the right till the end), the second magnetic element MP2 is located below the first magnetic element MP1, the charging module <NUM> is pushed upward through a repulsive force, and the baffle <NUM> is simultaneously driven to extend upward and to be out of the baffle exit <NUM>. Nevertheless, when the controlling module <NUM> is in the first operating state (i.e. it is pushed to the left till the end), the third magnetic element MP3 is located under the first magnetic element MP1, the charging module <NUM> is pulled downward by the attraction, and the baffle <NUM> is simultaneously driven to retract downward and to be in the baffle exit <NUM>.

Please refer to <FIG>. The numerals of the components shown therein comply with those shown in <FIG> and other drawings. The same components as shown in the drawings and their movements are not repeatedly described here. Please refer to <FIG> and <FIG>, both of which show the top cross-sectional views of the charging module of the present disclosure with a transmitter <NUM> placed on the placing portion <NUM>, and the second matching portion <NUM> is matched with the first matching portion <NUM>, so that the transmitter <NUM> is in a correct relative position or a predetermined position, and the first electrical connection port <NUM> is now aligned to the opening <NUM>. When the charging seat <NUM> (referring to <FIG>) is lifted up, it can be correctly electrically connected to the first electrical connection port <NUM>. Referring to <FIG>, the position of the actuating end <NUM> in the transverse direction is roughly equal to the position of the first matching portion <NUM>. Therefore, only when the transmitter <NUM> reaches the end of the stroke, the actuating end <NUM> can be pressed down to make the first locking module <NUM> rotate without stopping the blocked portion <NUM> (referring to <FIG>), and the actuation end <NUM> is arranged at the end of the bearing surface <NUM>' to reduce the friction with the bottom of the transmitter <NUM>. In another embodiment, the actuating end <NUM> is not limited to be located at any other position. Furthermore, because the first matching portion <NUM> is a protruding structure that extends inward the placing portion <NUM> (as shown in <FIG>), therefore, two groove areas are naturally formed on both sides of the first matching portion <NUM>, and the actuating end <NUM> is arranged in the groove area. Relatively, the second matching portion <NUM> of the transmitter <NUM> is an inwardly formed groove structure, and therefore two protruding structures are formed on both sides of the second matching portion <NUM>. Accordingly, when the second matching portion <NUM> is matched with the first matching portion <NUM>, the two protruding structures on both sides of the second matching portion <NUM> will go into the respective groove areas, and thereby the protruding structures will trigger the actuating end <NUM> so that the stopping end <NUM> is tilted up and no longer blocks the blocked portion <NUM>. At this moment, the baffle <NUM> can extend from the baffle exit <NUM> to block the bottom surface of the tail end of the transmitter <NUM> to achieve the effect of locking transmitter <NUM>. In <FIG>, when the transmitter is inserted into the charger <NUM> in an incorrect direction, e.g. when the tail end of the transmitter <NUM> goes into the placing portion <NUM>, because it is blocked by the first matching portion <NUM>, the front end of the transmitter <NUM> is pressed down above the baffle <NUM> so that the baffle <NUM> cannot extend from the baffle exit <NUM>, and the first electrical connection port <NUM> is not aligned with the opening <NUM>. Meanwhile, because the tail end of the transmitter <NUM> cannot reach the end of the insertion stroke so that the transmitter <NUM> cannot press down the actuating end <NUM>, the stopping end <NUM> keeps on blocking the blocked portion <NUM>. Therefore, the operating portion <NUM> cannot move, and the charging seat <NUM> cannot be exposed from the top surface of the opening <NUM>, which prevents the first conductive connector <NUM> from abnormally colliding with the transmitter <NUM> and any possible damage, and thereby to prolong the lifetime of the charging device <NUM>. That is to say, a safe state that prevents the first conductive connector <NUM> on the second electrical connection port <NUM>' from colliding with the transmitter <NUM> can be maintained. At this moment, the second connecting end <NUM> still restricts the first connecting end <NUM> so that the baffle <NUM> cannot extend. When this phenomenon occurs, it can also serve as a reminder to the user that the transmitter <NUM> is placed in a wrong direction.

Please refer to <FIG>. In comparison with <FIG>, the actuating end <NUM> is arranged away from the groove area. During the placing procedure of the transmitter <NUM>, the two protruding structures firstly press down the actuating end <NUM> so that the stopping end <NUM> is lifted up and no longer blocks the blocked portion <NUM>, then the two protruding structures <NUM> go into the groove areas to be engaged with the first matching portion <NUM>, and the baffle <NUM> can extend from the baffle exit <NUM> to block the tail end of the transmitter <NUM>. In <FIG>, when the transmitter is inserted into the charger <NUM> in the incorrect direction, because the tail end of the transmitter <NUM> goes into the placing portion <NUM>, the bottom of the front end of the transmitter <NUM> is pressed down above the baffle <NUM> so that the baffle <NUM> cannot extend from the baffle exit <NUM>, and the first electrical connection port <NUM> is not aligned with the opening <NUM>. Meanwhile, although the transmitter <NUM> can trigger the actuating end <NUM> and cause the stopping end <NUM> to tilt up and no longer block the blocked portion <NUM>, however, the movable distance of the operating portion <NUM> is controlled so that at least the first conductive connector <NUM> cannot be exposed from the top surface of the opening <NUM>, which thereby prevents the bottom of the transmitter <NUM> and the first conductive connector <NUM> from being damaged due to abnormal operation. At this moment, only a portion of the plug <NUM> can be pushed outwards. It can still serve as a reminder of an occurrence of a mistake to the user that the transmitter <NUM> is placed in an incorrect direction. That is to say, a safe state that prevents the first conductive connector <NUM> on the second electrical connection port <NUM>' from colliding with the transmitter <NUM> can be maintained.

Please further refer to <FIG> shows a schematic drawing of the contact of the first conductive connector of the present disclosure. The first conductive connector <NUM> is presented as, but not limited to, a golden finger-shaped contact, and the contact terminal <NUM> of the first conductive connector <NUM> has a similar configuration as that of the output terminal <NUM> of the sensor (as shown in <FIG>). Therefore, both the contact terminal <NUM> and the output terminal <NUM> are adapted to be inserted into the insert hole <NUM> of the first electrical connection port <NUM> of the transmitter <NUM>, so that the first conductive connector <NUM> can share the first electrical connecting port <NUM> with the output terminal <NUM> to save the internal space of the transmitter <NUM>. Please further refer to <FIG> as well as <FIG> shows a schematic circuit diagram of the charging device and the transmitter of the present disclosure, which discloses that the circuit assembly <NUM> in the charger <NUM> has a charging circuit group 1A and a calibrating circuit group 1B. The contact terminal <NUM> of the first conductive connector <NUM> is presented as, but is not limited to, <NUM> contacts: BAT, SW, RX, TX, E1, E2, E3 and E4, which number can be adjusted according to the number of contacts of the sensor output terminal <NUM>. The charging circuit group 1A is electrically connected to the third electrical connection port <NUM> to input power. The charging circuit group 1A is used to provide and control a charging voltage, and the charging circuit group 1A then charges the transmitter <NUM> through the contact BAT, with the contact SW serving as a charging switch, by outputting the charging voltage to the transmitter <NUM>. The remaining contacts are used to connect the calibration circuit group 1B of the charging device <NUM> and the transmitting module <NUM> of the transmitter <NUM> to facilitate the detection to the transmitter functions including data transmission, control and detection of self-calibration, leakage current measurement and/or resistance measurement. In another embodiment, the charging device <NUM> may only provide a charging function.

Please refer to <FIG>. <FIG> shows a moisture-proof assembly <NUM> having a housing <NUM> generally in the form of a can body, at least such as one of a cylindrical, elliptical cylindrical or oblate cylindrical cans, for accommodating the charging device <NUM> or the transmitter <NUM> or the charging device <NUM> containing the transmitter <NUM> to form a moisture-proof assembly <NUM>. In some embodiment, the charging device <NUM> is combined with the physiological signal transmitter <NUM> and disposed together in the accommodating space <NUM>', or the charging device <NUM> and the physiological signal sensor <NUM> are separate disposed in the accommodating space <NUM>'. The moisture-proof assembly <NUM> has an opening <NUM>' and a first buckling edge <NUM> formed next to the opening <NUM>'. The opening <NUM>' has an opening direction perpendicular to the opening <NUM>', and the protruding direction of the first buckling edge <NUM> is perpendicular to the opening direction. A cover <NUM> is movably arranged on the housing <NUM> and used to seal the opening <NUM>'. A second buckling edge <NUM> is also formed inside the cover <NUM>, and its protruding direction is opposite to that of the first buckling edge <NUM> to buckle the first buckling edge <NUM> and the second buckling edge <NUM> mutually. Furthermore, the housing <NUM> has an elastic element <NUM>. When the charging device <NUM> is placed in the housing <NUM> and the cover <NUM> seals the opening <NUM>', the charging device <NUM> is pressed down by the cover <NUM> and retracted into the housing <NUM>, thereby the elastic element <NUM> is elastically deformed (please referring to <FIG>). When the cover <NUM> is opened, the elastic element <NUM> releases its elastic potential to push the charging device <NUM> outwards, so that at least a part of the charging device <NUM> is protruded from the housing for a user to take the charging device <NUM> out (as shown in <FIG>). When the transmitter <NUM> needs to be charged, the charging device <NUM> is taken out of the housing <NUM>, so that an external power source can be used to connect and charge the transmitter <NUM>. The elastic element <NUM> can be a compression spring, such as a conical spring, a coil spring, a spiral spring, etc., so that the elastic element <NUM> interferes with the charging device <NUM>, and thus can also fix the position of the accessory (e.g. the charging device <NUM> or the transmitter <NUM>) placed in the housing <NUM> to prevent from shaking. As shown in <FIG>, a conical spring is used. Because the diameters of the coils from the top to the bottom of the conical spring are significantly increased, when the cover <NUM> seals the opening <NUM>' as shown in <FIG>, the charging device <NUM> is pressed down into the housing <NUM>, and the charging device <NUM> further compresses the elastic element <NUM>, the upper coils can be pressed down inside the lower coils. Accordingly, this kind of spring can be compressed to a shorter length than the cylindrical coil spring, and has the advantage of a reduced volume of the moisture-proof assembly. When the charging device is in the inserted state, the spring compression height Hcompress plus the length H1 of the charging device is less than the housing height H2. When the charging device is not in the inserted state, the spring extension height Hextend plus the length H1 of the charging device is larger than the housing height H2. Please continue to refer to <FIG> and <FIG>, wherein the housing <NUM> is further divided into a first accommodating space <NUM>' and a second accommodating space <NUM>. The first accommodating space <NUM>' is used to store the charging device <NUM>, the second accommodating space <NUM> is used to contain the desiccant <NUM>, and there is a hole structure <NUM> between them, so that the moisture in the first accommodating space <NUM>' can pass through the hole structure <NUM> to the second accommodating space <NUM>, and the moisture can be absorbed by the desiccant <NUM>, to prevent the transmitter <NUM> from getting wet. The transmitter <NUM> disclosed according to the first embodiment is approximately <NUM>*<NUM>*<NUM> (+/- <NUM>), the size of the charging device <NUM> is approximately <NUM> * <NUM> * <NUM> (+/- <NUM>), and the transmitter is installed on the charging device. The volume of the moisture-proof assembly <NUM> is no more than <NUM> cubic centimeters, or between <NUM> and <NUM> cubic centimeters, or between <NUM> and <NUM> cubic centimeters, or multiply the length by the width to control from <NUM> to <NUM> centimeters. The diameter range of the moisture-proof assembly <NUM> is designed to be <NUM> to <NUM>, and its height is designed to be <NUM> to <NUM>, so that the volume of the moisture-proof component is miniaturized and convenient for users to carry.

Please referring to <FIG>, which disclose that the transmitter <NUM> is placed in the moisture-proof assembly <NUM> according other embodiments of the present disclosure. <FIG> discloses a state in which only the transmitter <NUM> is placed in the moisture-proof assembly <NUM> having the hole structure <NUM>. The desiccant <NUM> is also disposed in the housing <NUM>, such as the bottom. In <FIG>, it is revealed that the elastic element <NUM> is directly disposed on the bottom of the housing <NUM>, and the desiccant <NUM> is also disposed in the housing <NUM>. In addition, the desiccant <NUM> can also be selectively disposed on the inner surface of the cover <NUM>. When the housing <NUM> is opened, the desiccant <NUM> will face outwards for easy replacement. As for <FIG>, it reveals the state where only the transmitter <NUM> is placed in the moisture-proof assembly <NUM> having the hole structure <NUM>. In another embodiment, the desiccant <NUM> may be integrally formed in the housing or the inner wall, so that the housing <NUM> does not need to distinguish different accommodation spaces (not shown in the figure). In addition, the pushed portion <NUM> facilitates the user to open the cover <NUM>. The moisture-proof assembly <NUM> can be used to properly protect the charging device <NUM> when it is not in use and isolate it from outside moisture, and further use the internal desiccant to dehumidify the transmitter <NUM> and/or the charging device <NUM> to extend the service life, which can prevent moisture from damaging electronic parts. The housing <NUM> can also be provided with a structure similar to the observation area <NUM>'. The observation area is a part of the housing <NUM>, and is made by injection molded from transparent or translucent materials. If a desiccant that can absorbs moisture to change color or an additional desiccant indicator is used, it is easy to check the moisture status of the transmitter <NUM> and/or the charging device <NUM>.

The method of using the moisture-proof assembly <NUM> is to provide the user with a first transmitter and a second transmitter at the same time, wherein the first moisture-proof assembly includes a first transmitter and a moisture-proof assembly <NUM>, the second moisture-proof assembly includes a second transmitter combined with a charging device, and the second moisture-proof assembly is disposed in the moisture-proof assembly <NUM>. The user will firstly use the first transmitter for measurement. When the power of the first transmitter is low enough to a lower limit, it is removed from the sensor pedestal, and the second transmitter and the charging device <NUM> are taken out from the moisture-proof assembly <NUM>. The second transmitter is used to install to the sensor pedestal, and the first transmitter is put into the placing portion <NUM> of the charging device <NUM> to be charged. After said charging is completed, the first transmitter and the charging device are assembled to return to the moisture-proof assembly <NUM> for storage, so that the first transmitter and the second transmitter can be charged and used alternately. The moisture-proof assembly <NUM> used for the first transmitter is in any form of container.

Please refer to <FIG>, which is another embodiment of the charging device of the present disclosure, and please also refer to <FIG>. The difference from the previous embodiments is that the charging device <NUM> electrically connects the third electrical connecting port (USB socket <NUM>') and the circuit board <NUM> of the second connecting port <NUM>' to each other through a wire <NUM>'. The wire <NUM>' also has a certain flexibility to adapt to the lifting of the charging module <NUM> for bending. In addition, <FIG> differs from the previous embodiment in that: the third electrical connecting port uses a USB socket <NUM>' instead of the electrical connecting plug <NUM> (USB plug), and it also forms a power storage unit <NUM> by combining a rechargeable battery <NUM> and a power circuit board <NUM>. The power storage unit <NUM> is electrically connected to the charging module <NUM> to input power to charge the transmitter <NUM>. In addition, the user can also connect the USB socket <NUM>' to an external power source to recharge the rechargeable battery <NUM> to increase the ease of use. In another embodiment, the power storage unit <NUM> can omit the USB socket and be equipped with disposable batteries, such as dry batteries and button batteries commonly available in the market. In another embodiment, the rechargeable battery <NUM> can also be omitted, and the USB socket <NUM>' is connected to an external power source <NUM> (<FIG>, and symbols <NUM>, <NUM>, <NUM> in <FIG>) to supply power for charging the transmitter <NUM>. As for the operating portion <NUM> of the operating module <NUM> shown in <FIG>, although it is not disclosed in <FIG>, it is still used in this embodiment. However, it is not shown in this figure because it is covered by the power storage unit <NUM>, and the connection relationship and driven linkage between the operating portion <NUM> and the second electrical connecting port <NUM>' of the charging module <NUM> are mainly through the coupling between the first guiding structure <NUM> and the second guiding structure <NUM>, and the action relationship between the two is the same as before. However, the difference from the previous embodiment is that the operating portion <NUM> in <FIG> and <FIG> is not fixed to the USB socket <NUM>' (third electrical connecting port). On the contrary, the USB socket <NUM>' is only fixed in the charging device <NUM>. The jack of the socket <NUM>' is exposed, therefore when the push-pull key <NUM> is operated, only the second guiding structure <NUM> is driven by the first guiding structure <NUM>, and the USB socket <NUM>' does not move. Please refer to the previous drawings and descriptions for the efficacies of other components in <FIG>, and will not be repeated here.

Please refer to <FIG>, which is another embodiment of the charging device of the present disclosure. Please also refer to <FIG>. The biggest difference between the embodiment in <FIG> and <FIG> is that the power storage unit <NUM> is electrically connected to the power circuit board <NUM> to the circuit board <NUM> for the charging seat <NUM> through a coiled wire <NUM>". Basically, the displacement of the charging device <NUM> with the push-pull button <NUM> (not shown in <FIG>) drives the lifting of the charging seat <NUM> and the circuit board <NUM> of the second electrical connecting port <NUM>', thereby indirectly drives the expansion and contraction of the coiled wire <NUM>. In another embodiment, the coiled wire <NUM>" can also be replaced by a spring connector (POGO pin). As for the efficacies of other components, please refer to the previous drawings and descriptions, it is not repeated here. In <FIG> and <FIG>, the USB socket <NUM>' being as the third electrical connecting port is designed without moving back and forth.

Please refer to <FIG>, another embodiment of the charging device is disclosed. The charging device <NUM> includes a placing portion <NUM> for placing the transmitter <NUM>, the placing portion <NUM> also includes a bearing surface <NUM>' for placing the transmitter <NUM>, and the bearing surface <NUM>' includes an opening <NUM> (<FIG>). A charging module <NUM> is provided on the opposite side of the bearing surface <NUM>', and includes a second electrical connecting port <NUM>', a circuit assembly <NUM>, and a third electrical connecting port <NUM>. The second electrical connecting port <NUM>' is arranged at an opening <NUM> (see <FIG>) for electrical connecting with the first electrical connecting port <NUM> (see <FIG>), and the third electrical connecting port <NUM> is used for connecting an external or internal power source (see the symbols <NUM>, <NUM>, <NUM> in <FIG> or the symbol <NUM> in <FIG>). The circuit assembly <NUM> (please refer to <FIG>) is connected between the second electrical connecting port <NUM>' and the third electrical connecting port <NUM> to perform charging and charging control for the physiological signal transmitter <NUM>. The opposite side of the bearing surface <NUM>' is also provided with a control module to control the safe operation between the transmitter <NUM> and the charging module <NUM>. The control module includes an operating portion <NUM> for driving the second electrical connecting port <NUM>' to connect to the first electrical connecting port <NUM>. A first locking module <NUM> is also provided on the opposite side of the bearing surface <NUM>', can releasably restrict the electrical connection between the second electrical connecting port <NUM>' and the first electrical connecting port <NUM>, or is used to further restrict the displacement of the second electrical connecting port <NUM>'. For the detailed operation of the first locking module <NUM>, please refer to <FIG>, <FIG>, and <FIG>, which will not be repeated here. Please refer to <FIG>, the bearing surface <NUM>' is provided with a second locking module <NUM> at the other end relative to the indicating area <NUM>, and the second locking module <NUM> can be extended and contracted on the bearing surface <NUM>' to fix the position of the transmitter <NUM>. Further, the second locking module <NUM> includes a baffle <NUM>, which is sleeved on a guide rod 10b3 to be able to move up and down, connected to the bottom of the bearing surface <NUM>' by a spring <NUM>', and the elasticity provided by a spring <NUM> keeps the baffle <NUM> normally protruding from the bearing surface <NUM>'. Please also refer to <FIG>. When the transmitter <NUM> is deposited on the bearing surface <NUM>', the transmitter <NUM> will first press and retract the baffle <NUM> into the bearing surface <NUM>' during the depositing process. After the first and second matching portions <NUM>, <NUM> are matched, the transmitter <NUM> just leaves the top of the baffle <NUM> without blocking it. At this time, the baffle <NUM> is forced by the elastic restoring force of the spring <NUM>' and protrudes on the bearing surface <NUM>' again. When the transmitter <NUM> is to be taken out, the push-pull button <NUM> is firstly pushed to the left to lower the charging seat <NUM> to release the electrical connection, and then the baffle <NUM> is pressed below the bearing surface <NUM>', so that it no longer blocks the transmitter <NUM> at the tail portion, and the transmitter <NUM> can be translated to the left away from the bearing surface <NUM>'. The features of the second locking module <NUM> shown in <FIG> can also be applied to other embodiments of the charging device of the present disclosure. As shown in <FIG>, the baffle <NUM> retracted below the bearing surface <NUM>' can be regarded as being pressed by the user to facilitate the insertion of the transmitter <NUM> into the placing portion <NUM>. The user can also directly press the baffle <NUM> through the transmitter <NUM> as shown in <FIG>. During the depositing process, if the second matching portion <NUM> is correctly inserted into the placing portion <NUM> inward so that it fits with the first matching portion <NUM> to achieve the result that the transmitter <NUM> is in the correct relative position, the baffle <NUM> will be no longer blocked by the transmitter <NUM> but can be pushed by the restoring force of the elastic element <NUM> (<FIG> and <FIG>) to protrude from the bearing surface <NUM>' again because the transmitter <NUM> has reached the correct position that is not so deep. It can be seen that if the baffle <NUM> shown in <FIG> is used, the first engagement end <NUM> of the second locking module <NUM> and the second engagement end <NUM> of the operating portion <NUM> can be eliminated and not provided.

Please refer to <FIG>, which discloses an embodiment without a cover plate 10a1. Therefore, the bearing surface <NUM>' itself serves as a placing portion, and an indicator area <NUM> is provided at one end of the bearing surface <NUM>' as a first fitting portion that can provide a visual cue effect so that the user can connect, fit, and join the second matching portion <NUM> with the placing portion. The actuating end <NUM> (<FIG>, <FIG>, <FIG>, and <FIG>) of the first locking module <NUM> (<FIG> and <FIG>) also protrudes on the bearing surface <NUM>'. In addition, a baffle exit <NUM> is provided at the other end of the bearing surface <NUM>', in which the baffle <NUM> (<FIG>, <FIG> and <FIG>) is located. Since there is no cover plate 10a1 in this embodiment, in order to prevent the transmitter <NUM> from detaching upward (that is, the axial direction of the bearing surface <NUM>'), the bearing surface <NUM>' is further provided with the second buckle structure <NUM> on the pedestal <NUM> as shown in <FIG>. The second buckle structure <NUM> is used to generate a buckling effect with the first buckle structure <NUM> of the transmitter <NUM>, and enables the transmitter <NUM> to be fixed on the bearing surface <NUM>'. In addition, in order to make the transmitter <NUM> more stable on the bearing surface <NUM>' without falling off due to accidental impact, side walls <NUM>' are formed on the bearing surface <NUM>', which are usually arranged in pairs. That is, on both sides of the bearing surface <NUM> ', when the transmitter <NUM> is fixed on the bearing surface <NUM>', the side walls <NUM>' are attached to the two sides of the transmitter <NUM>, so as to assist in fixing the transmitter <NUM> in the lateral direction. As for the efficacies of other components, please refer to the previous drawings and descriptions, which will not be repeated here.

Please refer to <FIG>, which are another embodiment of the charging device. Except the components and structures for the pressing button <NUM>', the stopping end <NUM> of the first locking module <NUM> and the avoidance notch <NUM>' are different from the previous figures, the rest of the components and structures are the same as those of the previous figures. The second connecting port <NUM>'(or the charging seat <NUM>) is in a way of moving up and down, and therefore the second connecting port <NUM>' of this embodiment is connected to the pressing key <NUM>' to drive the lifting or descending of the charging seat <NUM>, which is usually a latch button structure, and the pressing member <NUM>' can also be used as a part of the charging module <NUM>, or can be a component that is operated independently. When the pressing key <NUM>' is pressed once, the charging seat <NUM> will rise and stay stuck. When the pressing key <NUM>' is pressed again, it will release the lock and return to the original position, i.e., the position when the pressing key <NUM>' is not pressed. When the pressing key <NUM>' is pressed, the second sliding element <NUM> of the charging seat <NUM> also slides up and down between the two guiding portions <NUM>. Alternatively, the pressing key <NUM>' can be positioned by the positioning button <NUM>, which will be described in detail later. Please refer to <FIG>, which discloses that the transmitter <NUM> has not been inserted into the placing portion <NUM>, so the actuating end <NUM> of the stopping module <NUM> also extends into the placing portion <NUM> (please refer to <FIG>) at this time. At this time, if the pressing key <NUM>' is pressed into the body, the stopping end <NUM> will have a blocking effect on the blocked portion <NUM>, thereby blocking the charging seat <NUM> from entering the placing portion <NUM>. In another embodiment, the blocked portion <NUM> may also be formed on the charging seat <NUM> (not shown), or the locking slider <NUM> may be used in another embodiment as shown in <FIG>, Please refer to <FIG>, it discloses that the transmitter <NUM> has been inserted into the placing portion <NUM>, so the actuating end <NUM> has been pressed down by the transmitter <NUM> at this time, and the first locking module <NUM> is rotated so that the avoidance notch <NUM>' is aligned with the blocked portion <NUM>. In other words, causing the stopping end <NUM> to move away from the upper part of the receiving part <NUM>. At this time, if the pressing key <NUM>' is pressed into the body, the blocked portion <NUM> can continue to rise by avoiding the notch <NUM>', so that the charging seat <NUM> enters the placing part <NUM>. When the pressing key <NUM>' moves inward, the stopping end <NUM> enters the avoidance space <NUM>' correspondingly to avoid interference with the pressing key <NUM>'. In addition, as shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, the pivotal frame 10a2 of the upper housing 10a and the pivotal frame 10b2 of the lower housing 10b clamp the pivotal portion <NUM> of the first locking module <NUM> in a rotatable manner. The lower housing 10b also has a push-resisting structure 10b3 to prevent the movement of the stopping end <NUM> so as to prevent the actuating end <NUM> from overextending into the placing portion <NUM>. The charging device <NUM> further includes a second locking module <NUM>, which is provided with a positioning portion <NUM> connected to an elastic unit <NUM> (as shown in <FIG>, <FIG>), so that the positioning portion <NUM> can be extended out of the bearing surface <NUM>' upwardly and downwardly to lock an installation position of the physiological signal transmitter <NUM>.

Please refer to <FIG>, in order to fully observe the relationship between the positioning button <NUM> and the positioning groove 10b3, the positioning button <NUM> has been moved from the positioning groove 10b3 to the upper side. The positioning groove 10b3 has a first positioning block 10b31 and a second positioning block 10b32 arranged in pairs. Below the first positioning block 10b31 is the first state position 10b31p, i.e., the position when the pressing key <NUM>' is at the lowest bottom. The positioning shoulder 180a can be blocked by the first positioning block 10b31, thereby preventing the positioning button <NUM> from moving upwards, i.e., blocking the pressing key <NUM>' from moving upward. Above the second positioning block 10b32 is the second state position 10b32p, i.e., the position when the key <NUM>' is at the top. The positioning shoulder 180a can be blocked by the second positioning block 10b32, thereby preventing the positioning button <NUM> from moving downward, i.e., blocking the pressing key <NUM>' from moving downward. Furthermore, to move the pressing key <NUM>' in the first state position 10b31p to the second state position 10b32p, it is only necessary to press the positioning button <NUM> inward to bend the elastic structure 180c and align the channel 180b to the first positioning block 10b31 and the second positioning block 10b32, i.e., operating the pressing key <NUM>' or pushing the positioning button <NUM> upward. At this time, the positioning blocks (10b31, 10b32) pass through the passage 180b correspondingly without being blocked by the positioning shoulder 180a. In the same way, if you want to return the pressing key <NUM>' to the lowest position, i.e., the position in the first state, then press the positioning button <NUM> inward to bend the elastic structure 180c, and align the channel 180b with the second positioning block 10b32 and the first positioning block, i.e., the positioning button <NUM> can be pushed down to drive the pressing key <NUM>' back to the position of the first state. In addition, a reset element (not shown in the figure, it can be an elastic element or a magnetic element) can also be provided between the pressing button <NUM>' or the second electrical connection port <NUM>'and the upper housing 10a or the lower housing 10b, i.e., when the pressing key <NUM>' is pressed so that the second electrical connecting port <NUM>' is electrically connected to the first electrical connecting port <NUM>, giving the reset element a bit of energy. The pressing key <NUM>' relies on the positioning shoulder 180a to abut the second positioning block 10b32 to resist this position energy. Furthermore, when the positioning button <NUM> is pressed inward and the channel 180b is aligned with the second positioning block 10b32, the positioning shoulder 180a is no longer blocked by the second positioning block 10b32, and the position energy can be released. Thus, the pressing key <NUM>' returns to the initial position.
