Please refer to FIG. 1 , the automatic test test strip vending machine 100 of the present invention includes a vending machine body 110 , a test strip supply device 120 , a quick screening test platform 130 , a test report output device 140 and a calibration module 150 .

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together. The vending machine body 110 has a first accommodating portion 112, a second accommodating portion 114, a third accommodating portion 116 and a fourth accommodating portion arranged adjacent to each other. 118. The test paper supply device 120 is disposed in the second accommodating portion 114 and used for supplying a detection test paper. The quick screening testing platform 130 is disposed in the first accommodating portion 112 and is used for testing used test strips and generating a testing result. The test report output device 140 is disposed in the first accommodating portion 112 and used for outputting test results. The calibration module 150 is located adjacent to the top of the rapid screening detection platform 130 and has an image sensor 152. The image sensor 152 is used to collect and detect the ambient light of the rapid screening detection platform 130 to adjust the speed of the rapid screening detection platform 130 accordingly. Exposure parameters to ensure that the test paper can be correctly interpreted during the subsequent detection of the test paper.

In addition, the calibration module 150 may further include a bubble measuring instrument 154 and a gravity sensor 156 to measure the level parameters of the quick screening testing platform 130, so as to ensure that the quick screening testing platform 130 reaches the overall level after installation.

The following will describe how the image sensor 152 collects and detects the ambient light of the rapid screening detection platform 130 .

First, collect the ambient light around the quick screening detection platform 130 when it is installed on the vending machine body 110 through the image sensor 152, so as to determine whether the quick screening detection platform 130 has light leakage, or determine whether the vending machine in the vending machine main body 110 Whether the light on the circuit board affects the rapid screening detection platform 130, and therefore adjust the exposure parameters of the rapid screening detection platform 130 to return to the factory data.

The specific method is: read the first image obtained by the image sensor 152 through a computer, and make a grayscale intensity map of the pixels of the first image; when the rapid screening detection platform 130 is not lit and is in a dark room , take a frame of the second image, and make a grayscale intensity map of the pixels of the second image; use the grayscale intensity map of the second image to judge the intensity of the grayscale intensity map of the first image, if it is greater than 10, judge that there is ambient light or light leakage, if it is less than 10, it is judged that there is no ambient light or light leakage.

Wherein, when it is judged that there is ambient light or light leakage, exposure correction can be performed so that the exposure parameters of the rapid screening detection platform 130 return to the factory data.

The specific method is: take the first frame of image, and make a grayscale intensity map of the pixels of the first frame of image, detect the peak and its peak value; reduce the overload, and then refresh a frame of image and then take the data to re-judge, Until the peak is located at 85% of full load, the exposure correction is completed.

The method for measuring the horizontal parameters of the quick screening detection platform 130 by the air bubble measuring instrument 154 and the gravity sensor 156 is described as follows:

First use the air bubble measuring instrument 154 to do a quick horizontal calibration, quickly adjust the four locking points between the quick screening test platform 130 and the vending machine body 110, so that the air bubbles in the air bubble measuring instrument 154 are placed within the center range of the air bubble measuring instrument 154. Then use the gravity sensor 156 to carry out precise calibration. Through the lock point, adjust the angle of x-y-z displayed in the gravity sensor 156 to plus or minus 1 degree, and then complete the horizontal calibration.

The aforementioned calibration of the exposure parameters and level parameters of the rapid screening testing platform 130 can be performed in different orders. For example, the exposure parameter can be calibrated first, and then the horizontal parameter can be calibrated; or, the horizontal parameter can be adjusted first, and then the exposure parameter can be calibrated.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, although the rapid screening test platform 130 and the test report output device 140 are both arranged in the first accommodating portion 112, and the quick screen test platform 130 is located on the upper side of the test report output device 140, but It is not intended to be limiting. In other words, in other embodiments, the relative positions between the quick screening testing platform 130 and the test report output device 140 can also be changed, such as making the quick screening testing platform 130 under the test report output device 140, or making the quick screening test platform 130 The detection platform 130 is located on the left side of the detection report output device 140 .

The automatic test strip vending machine 100 of the present invention further includes a payment device 160 . The payment device 160 is set in the third accommodating portion 116 to receive a physical payment or an electronic payment, and when the payment device 160 is in the form of a physical payment, the payment device 160 may include a cash slot machine 162 and a slot machine 164 And a coin dispenser 166. Wherein, according to the configuration of the mechanism, the coin dispenser 166 can be further disposed in the fourth accommodating portion 118 .
