[0046] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3The cup cover 2 comprises a lower shell 3, a limiting block 4, a driving device 5, and an upper shell 6. The lower shell 3 is hollow and has an open upper end. The upper shell 6 is located above the lower shell 3. The upper shell 6 is hollow and has an open upper end. The lower end of the upper shell 6 is coaxially inserted into the lower shell 3, so that the upper shell 6 can slide up and down relative to the lower shell 3. A sealing ring 31 is sleeved on the lower end of the lower shell 3. An inner side wall of the cup body 1 at the mouth position is integrally formed with a receiving ring 11. When the lower shell 3 is inserted into the cup body 1, the receiving ring 11 can support the lower shell 3, so that the sealing ring 31 is tightly attached to the upper surface of the receiving ring 11, thereby improving the sealing performance of the cup body 1 and reducing the risk of liquid leakage in the cup body 1.

[0047] With reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a sliding hole 32 is integrally formed on the outer peripheral wall of the lower shell 3 along the radial direction of the lower shell 3. The number of the sliding holes 32 can be one, two, three, or more. In this embodiment, the number of the sliding holes 32 is four, and the four sliding holes 32 are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the lower shell 3. The number of the limiting blocks 4 is the same as the number of the sliding holes 32, and each limiting block 4 is in one-to-one correspondence with a sliding hole 32.

The embedding groove 64 is a circular groove, the connecting ring 52222 is embedded in the embedding groove 64, and the outer circumferential wall of the connecting ring 52222 is attached to the inner side wall of the embedding groove 64, so that the mounting ring 52221 rotates relative to the inner side wall of the embedding groove 64 about its own axis. The connecting ring 52222 is integrally formed with a plurality of connecting teeth along its radial direction; the output shaft of the driving motor 5224 is provided with a connecting gear 52241; the connecting gear 52241 is engaged with the connecting teeth, so that the driving motor 5224 drives the rotating ring 5222 to rotate.

[0058] With reference to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The number of the rotating blocks 5223 and the abutting blocks 5225 is the same as that of the locking blocks 521. The rotating blocks 5223 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the mounting ring 52221, and are integrally formed with the upper surface of the mounting ring 52221; the rotating blocks 5223 are annular strips, and are coaxial with the mounting ring 52221. The lower surface of the mounting cover plate 65 is integrally formed with a rotating groove 654, which is a closed annular groove; the rotating blocks 5223 are embedded in the rotating groove 654, so that the rotating blocks 5223 move along the inner side wall of the rotating groove 654 with the rotation of the mounting ring 52221. The bottom wall of the sliding groove 652 is located below the bottom wall of the rotating groove 654; the bottom wall of the rotating groove 654 at the position of each sliding groove 652 is integrally formed with a through hole upward, so that the sliding groove 652 communicates with the rotating groove 654.

[0059] With reference to Figure 8 The abutting blocks 5225 are integrally formed with the lower surface of the end of the locking block 521 close to the corresponding elastic abutting piece 5221; the end of the sliding groove 652 away from the axis of the mounting cover plate 65 is provided with a limiting protrusion 6521 integrally formed with the inner side wall of the rotating groove 654. The lower surface of the locking block 521 is attached to the limiting protrusion 6521, and the abutting block 5225 is tightly abutted against the side wall of the limiting protrusion 6521 toward the axis of the mounting cover plate 65. When the rotating ring 5222 rotates, the rotating block 5223 can abut against the abutting block 5225.

[0060] With reference to Figure 8 and Figure 9The end wall of one end of the rotating block 5223 is integrally formed with an inclined driving surface 52231, and the driving surface 52231 is located on the side of the rotating block 5223 close to the axis of the mounting ring 52221. The end of the abutting block 5225 close to the driving surface 52231 of the corresponding rotating block 5223 is integrally formed with a clearance surface 52251, the clearance surface 52251 is an inclined surface, and the end of the clearance surface 52251 close to the corresponding rotating block 5223 is inclined to the axis direction of the mounting ring 52221, so that the end of the rotating block 5223 provided with the driving surface 52231 is inserted into the position between the abutting block 5225 and the limiting protrusion 6521, thereby driving the locking block 521 to move to the axis direction of the mounting ring 52221, so that the locking block 521 is separated from the locking hole 342.

[0061] With reference to Figure 10 and Figure 11 The inner bottom wall of the lower shell 3 is integrally formed with an upwardly extending air permeable cylinder 35. The lower end wall of the lower shell 3 at the position of the air permeable cylinder 35 is integrally formed with an air permeable hole 36 extending upwardly. The air permeable hole 36 is located inside the air permeable cylinder 35, and the inner diameter of the air permeable hole 36 is smaller than the inner diameter of the air permeable cylinder 35. A connecting column 37 is inserted into the air permeable hole 36. A gap is provided between the peripheral wall of the connecting column 37 and the inner side wall of the air permeable hole 36. The peripheral wall of the lower end of the connecting column 37 is integrally formed with a mounting ring groove 371 along the circumferential direction thereof. A sealing plate 372 is embedded in the mounting ring groove 371. The sealing plate 372 is in the form of a closed ring, and the outer diameter of the sealing plate 372 is greater than the inner diameter of the air permeable hole 36. The sealing plate 372 is a flexible soft plate. The material of the sealing plate 372 can be rubber material, silicone material or other materials with elasticity. In this embodiment, the material of the sealing plate 372 is rubber material. The lower end wall of the lower shell 3 is integrally formed with a receiving groove 38 along the circumferential direction of the air permeable hole 36. The sealing plate 372 is located in the receiving groove 38.

[0062] With reference to Figure 10 and Figure 11 The connecting column 37 is connected with a ventilation assembly 373. The ventilation assembly 373 includes a ventilation elastic member 3731 and a ventilation driving block 3732. The ventilation elastic member 3731 includes a spring. The ventilation elastic member 3731 is sleeved on the peripheral wall of the connecting column 37, and is located inside the air permeable cylinder 35. The upper end of the connecting column 37 is integrally formed with an abutting ring 374, which is located above the ventilation elastic member 3731. The lower end of the ventilation elastic member 3731 abuts against the inner bottom wall of the lower shell 3 inside the air permeable cylinder 35, and the upper end abuts against the abutting ring 374, so that the sealing plate 372 abuts tightly against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 38 to seal the air permeable hole 36. A gap is provided between the peripheral wall of the sealing plate 372 and the inner side wall of the receiving groove 38. In another embodiment, the sealing plate 372 can directly abut tightly against the lower end wall of the lower shell 3.

[0063] With reference toFigure 10 and Figure 11 The lower end wall of the upper shell 6 is integrally formed upward with a receiving hole 67 aligned with the lower surface of the connecting ring 52222. The bottom wall of the receiving hole 67 is integrally formed upward with a connecting hole 671. The air permeable cylinder 35 is inserted into the receiving hole 67, the abutting ring 374 is located in the receiving hole 67, and the upper end of the connecting column 37 penetrates and is inserted into the connecting hole 671.

[0064] Referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11 The air permeation driving block 3732 is in the shape of an arc strip and is coaxially arranged with the connecting ring 52222. The air permeation driving block 3732 is integrally connected with the lower surface of the connecting ring 52222. The end wall of one end of the air permeation driving block 3732 close to the connecting column 37 is integrally formed with an inclined abutting surface 37321, and the lower side of the abutting surface 37321 is inclined away from the connecting column 37 along the circumferential direction of the connecting ring 52222. When the connecting ring 52222 rotates with the mounting ring 52221, the air permeation driving block 3732 slides along the circumferential direction of the connecting ring 52222 relative to the upper shell 6, so that the abutting surface 37321 abuts against the upper end wall of the connecting column 37 to drive the connecting column 37 to move downward, so that the sealing plate 372 is separated from the lower end wall of the lower shell 3, so that the air pressure on the upper and lower sides of the lower shell 3 is balanced, thereby facilitating the removal of the lower shell 3.

[0065] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is:

[0066] When it is needed to drink the liquid in the cup body 1, the user touches the fingerprint identification module 7 with fingers; the fingerprint identification module 7 transmits the collected fingerprint signal to the control chip 82; when the collected fingerprint is the same as the pre-recorded fingerprint, the control chip 82 controls the driving motor 5224 to rotate the mounting ring 52221 to drive the air permeation driving block 3732 to push the connecting column 37 downward, so that the sealing plate 372 is separated from the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 38; at the same time, the rotating block 5223 can push the abutting block 5225, so that the locking block 521 is separated from the locking hole 342; at this time, the elastic return member 51 drives the upper shell 6 to move upward, the upper shell 6 drives the limiting block 4 to move through the connecting assembly 53, so that the limiting block 4 is separated from the limiting groove 121, so that the lower shell 3 can be taken out of the cup body 1 to drink the liquid in the cup body 1; at the same time, the driving motor 5224 is reversed to reset the rotating block 5223, so that the locking block 521 abuts against the side wall of the communication plate 34. After drinking, the lower shell 3 is inserted into the cup body 1 to make the sealing ring 31 of the lower shell 3 abut against the receiving ring 11; at this time, the outer cover 66 is pressed, the upper shell 6 moves downward relative to the lower shell 3, so that the limiting block 4 is inserted into the limiting groove 121; at the same time, the elastic abutting member 5221 drives the locking block 521 to be inserted into the locking hole 342, so that the lower shell 3 is sealed and fixed with the cup body 1.

[0067] When the fingerprint of the user who picks up the cup body 1 is different from the pre-recorded fingerprint, the driving motor 5224 does not act, and the lower shell 3 and the cup body 1 remain in a sealed state, thereby reducing the possibility that the liquid in the cup body 1 is mistakenly drunk by others, and thereby facilitating the improvement of the safety of drinking water.

[0068] In another embodiment, the ventilation driving block 3732 can also be separately connected with a ring, and the corresponding ring is rotationally connected with the upper shell 6 around the axis thereof; and a driving mechanism with a motor can be separately provided for driving the corresponding ring to rotate; and the corresponding motor is connected with the circuit board 81 through wires for being controlled by the control chip 82 to control the driving of the ventilation driving block 3732.

Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
