[0029] When the tea cup body 400 is placed on a contact surface and an earthquake occurs, the vibration sensing component 100 transmits a signal to the control system 200, and the alarm 220 sends an alarm signal; when the tea cup body 400 leaves the contact surface, the power trigger switch 300 protrudes from the through hole and is separated from the control system 200, thereby cutting off the power supply 210.
[0030] The following will be further described in the present exemplary embodiment of a tea cup with earthquake warning function.
[0031] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned vibration sensing assembly 100 comprises a fixed cylinder 110, a hollow copper ball 120 and a solid copper ball 130, the hollow copper ball 120 and the solid copper ball 130 are both made of copper ball material, the hollow copper ball 120 is arranged in the fixed cylinder 110, the hollow copper ball 120 is similar in size to fresh longan, the hollow copper ball 120 is cut into an upper hemisphere and a lower hemisphere, the volume of the upper hemisphere is larger than that of the lower hemisphere, and the cutting surface is close to the inner bottom of the hollow copper ball 120, the solid copper ball 130 is arranged inside the hollow copper ball 120, and the solid copper ball "docks" at the "docking point" of the lower hemisphere of the hollow copper ball 120. Figure 1 As shown, the lower hemisphere below the split surface, the contact point between the solid copper ball 130 and the hollow copper ball 120 in the static state is insulated, the inner wall of the hollow copper ball 120 and the outer surface of the solid copper ball 130 are smooth, specifically, an insulating paper layer 140 is laid between the upper hemisphere and the lower hemisphere, the insulating paper layer 140 is 0.25mm thick insulating paper, so that the hollow copper ball 120 and the solid copper ball 130 are not directly conductive, the solid copper ball 130 is located at the "docking point" of the lower hemisphere of the hollow copper ball in the static state, at this time, the two are not conductive, and there is no sensing signal; the upper hemisphere is connected with a first lead wire 150, and the lower hemisphere is connected with a second lead wire 160, the first lead wire 150 and the second lead wire 160 are respectively connected with a control system 200, when an earthquake occurs, the solid copper ball 130 oscillates and rolls in the hollow copper ball 120, the solid copper ball 130 leaves the bottom contact point and contacts the upper hemisphere of the hollow copper ball 120 to conduct, and then the oscillation signal is transmitted to the control system 200 through the first lead wire 150 and the second lead wire 160 respectively.
[0032] In a specific embodiment, the diameter of the hollow copper ball is 20.2mm, the circumference is 63.4mm, and the wall thickness is 3.6mm; the diameter of the solid copper ball is 6.0mm, and the circumference is 18.8mm.
[0033] It should be noted that the fixed cylinder 110 is made of bakelite material, the top and bottom of the hollow copper ball 120 respectively abut against the fixed cylinder 110, and the cylindrical fixed cylinder 110 is tightly combined to tightly and stably hold it, which will not move due to oscillation, and is convenient for disassembly and maintenance.

By suspending the fixed cylinder 110 in the cavity 410 at the bottom of the tea cup through the metal hanging ring 170, when an earthquake occurs, the cylinder slightly shakes, which can help the oscillation of the solid copper ball 130; by setting the copper rivet 180 and the limiting groove 111 at the bottom of the cavity 410, the shaking of the cylinder is also controlled not to be too large.
[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the power trigger switch 300 is arranged at the bottom of the control system 200 and in contact with the control system 200, and the bottom of the tea cup body 400 is provided with a through hole; specifically, the power trigger switch 300 includes a micro double-blade trigger switch 310SB and a steel ball 320, the micro double-blade trigger switch 310SB includes a contact SB1 and a contact SB2, the steel ball 320 is abutted between the contact SB1 and the contact SB2 and is arranged through the through hole, for conducting and cutting off the contact SB1 and the contact SB2.

[0037] When a person holds the earthquake early warning cup to drink water, the bottom of the cup is suspended, a micro steel ball 320 embedded in the bottom of the cup is slightly bounced out, the micro double-knife trigger switch 310 SB above the steel ball is separated, the trigger switch SB is automatically switched from the normally closed state to the normally open state, the output signal is interrupted, the piezoelectric ceramic sheet PL signal line is disconnected, and the bee sound is effectively interrupted at this time, so as to prevent the person from being choked when drinking water.
