Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of daily and outdoor drinking water equipment and the application field of positioning and tracking technology, and in particular to a novel smart water cup positioned by a global satellite navigation system, wherein a locator embedded in the water cup is continuously powered by a plurality of power supply modes. Background Art

[0002] The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a star-level radio navigation system that uses artificial satellites as navigation stations. It provides all-weather, high-precision position, speed and time information for various military and civilian carriers on land, sea, air and space around the world. It is also called a space-based positioning, navigation and timing system. Currently, the world's famous navigation satellite systems include GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BDS, MSAS, GAGAN and NIG-GOMSAT-1. With the promotion of GNSS positioning technology, the corresponding locators (or trackers) are gradually used to track the activity trajectories and status of mobile phones, vehicles, patients and even basketballs. In recent years, as people pay more attention to healthy life, daily activity trajectories and exercise volume have gradually become authorized tracking and monitoring items in smart terminals such as smartphones and watches. Outdoor sports and activities are becoming increasingly popular and promoted as a green and healthy way of entertainment, relaxation and exercise. However, outdoor sports and activities are accompanied by potential personal safety risks. For example, when someone gets lost in the wild or is injured and has impaired mobility, family members, friends or rescuers need to be able to find the missing or injured in time, which requires timely positioning of those in need of assistance. In outdoor activities, GNSS locators are often carried and used in single form. At present, GNSS positioning services have not been widely associated with portable products that can meet certain survival and living needs other than smartphones, smart watches, and car locators. When these mainstream portable products that have introduced positioning services are running, such as smartphones, smart watches, and car locators, they need to be charged from time to time with external fixed power supplies or mobile DC or AC power supplies. There is still a lack of designs that can directly or indirectly provide continuous power supply for locators or devices equipped with positioning services. With the development of science and technology, in order to ensure personal safety and help maintain physical health, especially for outdoor sports and activities, the application and promotion of GNSS positioning technology should meet the requirements of portability, necessity, stability and sustainability. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to associate global navigation satellite services with portable products other than smart phones, smart watches, and vehicle-mounted locators that can meet certain survival and life needs, and to ensure that the global navigation satellite services can obtain a continuous and stable power supply and work normally and permanently, the present invention provides a water cup with a global satellite navigation system locator embedded with multiple power-renewing methods.

[0004] A water cup with a global satellite navigation system locator embedded with multiple ways of power continuation includes a cup cover and a cup body, and the cup cover and the cup body are connected by a screw thread. The cup cover is layered from top to bottom by a partition, and the top layer is a solar panel. The first partition is provided under the solar panel, and a rechargeable and dischargeable battery control mainboard is provided under the partition. A second partition is provided below, and a rechargeable and dischargeable battery is provided below the partition. A third partition is provided below the rechargeable and dischargeable battery, and a global satellite navigation locator and a functional mainboard are provided under the partition. A fourth partition is provided below, and a fifth partition is provided below the partition. However, there is a cavity between the fourth and fifth partitions, and a thermoelectric material and a functional mainboard are provided under the fifth partition. A sixth partition is provided below, and the partition is the bottom layer of the cup cover. A cavity is formed between the inner wall and the outer wall of the water cup cover. The first to sixth partitions are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cup cover, and interlayers are formed between the upper and lower partitions except for the fourth and fifth partitions. These partitions are provided with openings on the side walls, i.e., the inner wall of the cup cover, for passing the circuit wires. The two ends of the thermoelectric material are in contact with the fifth and sixth partitions, respectively. The two ends of the thermoelectric material are evenly and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the functional mainboard corresponding to the thermoelectric material. The solar panel, the rechargeable and dischargeable battery control mainboard, the rechargeable and dischargeable battery, the positioner and the functional mainboard and the thermoelectric material and its mainboard are all fixedly or detachably connected to the partition side of the partition or the inner side of the cup cover where they are located. A hole is provided on the side wall of the cup cover of the partition provided with the rechargeable and dischargeable battery control mainboard for setting the charging hole.

[0005] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention can realize the tracking and positioning of the carrier by embedding a locator that relies on the global satellite navigation system into the water cup, and is equipped with solar panels, rechargeable batteries, thermoelectric materials and corresponding circuit motherboards. In addition to the power supply of the rechargeable battery to the locator, when the charge of the rechargeable battery is exhausted, the electric energy converted by the solar panel and the thermoelectric material can also directly and indirectly support the work of the locator, and finally ensure that the locator can work for a long time. As an important auxiliary item to meet the user's drinking water needs, the water cup is a personal item that is not easy for the carrier to discard. By using it in conjunction with the external locator signal receiving and processing equipment, the water cup can be tracked, and then the position of the water cup carrier can be tracked, which will provide assistance for the carrier's position security reporting and the search and rescue of trapped people in the wild.

These interlayers can be provided with openings on the side walls, i.e., the inner wall of the cup cover, for passing circuit wires; the two ends of the thermoelectric material are respectively in contact with partitions 14 and partition 18; the two ends 15 and 17 of the thermoelectric material are evenly and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the functional main board 16 corresponding to the thermoelectric material; the solar cell panel 5, the rechargeable and dischargeable battery control main board 8, the rechargeable and dischargeable battery 10, the positioner and the functional main board 12 and the thermoelectric material and its main board 16 are all fixedly connected, glued or detachably connected to the partition side of the interlayer in which they are located or the inner side of the cup cover; a hole is provided on the side wall of the cup cover of the interlayer provided with the rechargeable and dischargeable battery control main board 8 for setting the charging hole 3.

[0010] Working principle: Reference Figure 3~Figure 6The rechargeable battery 10 can be connected to an external power source for charging through the pin of the control mainboard 8 and the charging port 3. The electric energy stored in the battery 10 can be connected to the locator and functional mainboard 12 through the wire arranged in the cavity 6 of the side wall of the cup cover to ensure the operation of the locator and functional mainboard 12.
