Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a kettle lid, and more particularly to a fingerprint pop-up lid and a kettle. Background Technology

[0002] In certain specialized applications, water bottle lids often need to be designed for easy opening and closing. For example, drivers need to operate their water bottles with one hand while driving to avoid driving hazards; during cycling or running, the action of opening and closing the bottle to refill should ideally be done with one hand to avoid disrupting the rhythm of the activity. However, current sports water bottles or insulated water bottles do not yet offer both ease of use and reliable safety for these specific applications. Furthermore, there is a risk of mistakenly picking up the same bottle. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a fingerprint pop-up cover and a water bottle to solve the problem that conventional water bottles or cups are inconvenient to operate with one hand in special situations, affecting usage efficiency. Furthermore, each water bottle can be set with its own fingerprint to avoid the risk of mistaken possession and solve the hygiene problem.

[0024] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] A fingerprint pop-up cover, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the top of the cover (1) is provided with a water outlet (23), and the cover is covered with a dust cover (2). One end of the dust cover is fixed to the cover by a pivot (21) and a torsion spring (22); the other end is fastened to the cover by a fastening assembly to cover the water outlet. A fingerprint sensing area (3) is provided on the edge of the cover. The fingerprint sensing area is connected to a fingerprint recognition module. The fingerprint recognition module is placed inside the cover and connected to a transmission device. The transmission device is used to drive the fastening assembly to pop open the dust cover.

[0026] The fingerprint recognition function is achieved through a fingerprint sensing area and a fingerprint recognition module. The fingerprint sensing area serves as the input terminal and includes a fingerprint sensor (31); the fingerprint recognition module serves as the data processing terminal and includes a PCB board (81) and a recognition circuit deployed on the PCB board. During use, the user presses their finger on the fingerprint sensor, which transmits the fingerprint data to the connected recognition circuit for identification. It should be noted that the fingerprint recognition module is a conventional existing technology, and its specific modules will not be described in detail here.

[0027] Preferably, the fingerprint sensor is first fixed by the sensor fastener (32), and then embedded in the edge of the cover by the sensor waterproof pad (33), which can play the role of waterproofing and fixing;

[0028] The transmission device is used to drive the latching component to operate according to the output signal of the fingerprint recognition module, so as to pop open the dust cover and allow the user to drink water from the water outlet. The transmission device specifically includes a motor (91) connected to the fingerprint recognition module at one end, and a cam (92) provided on the other end of the motor, which is used to drive the latching component. Preferably, a battery (93), such as a rechargeable lithium battery, is also provided under the PCB board to power the motor; the PCB board is also provided with a USB charging interface (11) and a USB waterproof plug (10) to prevent water from entering the interface, which is connected to a power supply device via a USB cable to charge the battery, making it convenient for users.

[0029] The fastening assembly allows the dust cover to be securely fastened to the cover body without loosening. Its specific structure includes a connecting rod seat (71) placed inside the cover body. The connecting rod seat is equipped with a connecting rod spring (74) and a connecting rod (72). One end of the connecting rod spring is locked to the side wall of the connecting rod seat, and the other end is in contact with the connecting rod. The other end of the connecting rod is in contact with the cam through the connecting rod sealing ring (73). The top of the connecting rod is provided with a fastening position (7), and the bottom of the dust cover is provided with a pin (9) that matches the fastening position. The pin is used to insert into the fastening position to fix the dust cover to the cover body. When the fingerprint recognition module detects the correct input information, the drive motor works, which moves the cam located at one end of the motor. The connecting rod in contact with the cam extends and retracts, and the latch at the top of the connecting rod releases, allowing the dust cover to spring open under the force of the torsion spring. When the dust cover is closed, the connecting rod pushes the cam under the force of the spring, causing the cam to automatically reset. At this time, the user only needs to press the dust cover down, and it can be closed by the elasticity of the dust cover and the latch plastic itself.

[0030] Furthermore, in one embodiment, a protective layer (4) is provided between the dust cover and the cover body. The protective layer is fixed to the cover body by screws (61), and a drinking spout (5) corresponding to the water outlet is protruding from the top of the protective layer. A rubber stopper (8) is placed on the drinking spout, and a waterproof ring (41) is placed between the protective layer and the cover body.

[0031] The protective layer conceals the fingerprint recognition module within the cover and prevents water ingress with a waterproof ring. The rubber stopper on the drinking spout also prevents water leakage. The drinking spout is connected to the water outlet, allowing users to drink through the spout after the dust cover is popped open, making it more convenient. Preferably, the screws used to secure the protective layer are equipped with screw seals to further prevent water leakage.

[0032] A fingerprint-activated water bottle includes a bottle body (100) and a fingerprint-activated cap. The bottle body has an external thread (102) at its opening, and the fingerprint-activated cap has a matching internal thread (24) on its inner side. Users can either open the cap with their fingerprint to drink or unscrew the cap directly. Preferably, a waterproof ring (101) is placed between the bottle opening and the fingerprint-activated cap to prevent leakage.

[0033] The above describes the fingerprint pop-up cover of the present invention to help understand the present invention. However, the implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the principle of the present invention should be considered as equivalent substitutions and are included within the protection scope of the present invention.
