Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a continuous blood glucose measurement device and an applicator, wherein the continuous blood glucose measurement device is produced in a state in which a body attachment unit has been assembled inside an applicator, so as to minimize a user's additional work of attaching the body attachment unit to the body, thereby enabling the body attachment unit to be attached to the body only by simply activating the applicator. Particularly, the present invention provides a continuous blood glucose measurement device and an applicator, wherein the continuous blood glucose measurement device: includes a wireless communication chip in a body attachment unit so as to enable communication with an external terminal, thereby enabling simple and convenient use thereof, without additional work for connecting a separate transmitter, and easier maintenance; and is activated by a user's operation after the body attachment unit is attached to the body, so as to enable the operation start time to be adjusted to an appropriate time according to user's needs, and to enable the operation to start in a stabilized state so that blood glucose can be measured more accurately.

Claims (13)

1 . An applicator for a blood glucose measurement device, comprising:

a main case, wherein a body attachable unit configured to be insertably arrangeable to a body is disposed inside the main case and one side of the main case is opened;

a pressure button mounted to the main case to be manipulated by a user;

a plunger body arranged to be movable from a first location inside the main case to a second location together with the body attachable unit;

a shooting plate disposed inside the main case to be slidably movable according to manipulation of pressing the pressure button; and

a protection cap separably coupled to the opened one side of the main case, and comprising a locking protrusion unit protruding from the protection cap,

wherein the main case comprises:

an outer case, wherein the pressure button is configured to be pressurizedly movable by pressurizing manipulation of the user and mounted to one side of the outer case, and

an inner case coupled to an inside of the outer case and configured to guide a linear movement path of the plunger body, wherein a locking guide hole which the locking protrusion unit penetrates through and is inserted to in a state that the protection cap is coupled to the main case is formed at the inner case,

wherein a protruding step unit is formed at one side of the shooting plate, and the locking protrusion unit is configured to be released from interlock with the protruding step unit according to the protection cap's being separated from the main case,

wherein the plunger body is fixed at the first location and engaged with the shooting plate to be movable to the second location according to sliding movement of the shooting plate in a direction intersecting the movement direction of the plunger body, and

wherein at least one end of the locking protrusion unit directly contacts the shooting plate to limit the movement of the shooting plate in a state that the protection cap is coupled to the main case.

2 . The applicator for the continuous blood glucose measurement device according to claim 1 , wherein the manipulation of pressurizing the pressure button is prevented by limitation on the shooting plate.
