[0022] In existing technologies, commonly used thermos cups can only provide heat preservation for a short time and cannot keep things warm for a long time. This results in poor reusability, a short service life, low intelligence, and an inability to meet more user needs.

[0023] In view of this, the present invention provides a smart thermos cup 100. Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is an embodiment of the smart thermos cup 100 provided by the present invention.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The smart thermos cup 100 includes a cup body 1, a heating component 2, a prompting component 3, a controller 4, and a charging component 5. The cup body 1 includes a cup body 11 and a cup lid 12, with the cup lid 12 fitting over the mouth of the cup body 11. The heating component 2 includes a non-contact temperature sensor 21 and a heating element 22. The non-contact temperature sensor 21 is located on the cup lid 12 and is used to detect water temperature. The heating element 22 is located at the bottom of the cup body 11 and is used to heat the water in the cup body 11. The prompting component 3 is located on the cup lid 12 and includes a buzzer 31 and an indicator light 32, which are activated at preset drinking times and / or preset water temperatures. The controller 4 is located on the cup lid 12 and works in conjunction with the non-contact temperature sensor 21 and the heating element 22. The heating element 22, the buzzer 31, and the indicator light 32 are electrically connected and used for electrical connection with an external terminal; the charging assembly 5 includes a cup holder 51, a rechargeable battery 52, a wireless charging coil transmitting module 53, and a wireless charging coil receiving module 54. The cup holder 51 is used to cover the outside of the cup body 1. The rechargeable battery 52 and the wireless charging coil receiving module 54 are located on the cup lid 12. The wireless charging coil transmitting module 53 is located on the cup holder 51 and is used for electrical connection with an external power source 200, and supplies power to the rechargeable battery 52 through the wireless charging coil receiving module 54. The rechargeable battery 52 is electrically connected to the non-contact temperature sensor 21, the heating element 22, the buzzer 31, the indicator light 32, and the controller 4.

[0025] In the technical solution of this invention, intelligent heating is achieved by setting the heating component 2. Specifically, when the water temperature in the cup body 11 drops to the preset water temperature as detected by the non-contact temperature sensor 21, the controller 4 controls the buzzer 31 and the indicator light 32 to turn on. The buzzer 31 emits a warning sound, the indicator light 32 flashes, and the heating element 22 is controlled to heat, reminding the user that the cup body 1 is in a heating state. The heating element 22 also helps maintain the temperature of the cup body 1 for an extended period. Furthermore, wireless charging is achieved through the charging component 5. This not only allows for multiple heating cycles via the rechargeable battery 52, extending the heat retention time, but also avoids water contact compared to wired charging. The system eliminates the risk of electric leakage, significantly improving safety and convenience. The cup body 1 and cup holder 51 work together for convenient charging. Furthermore, the indicator component 3 provides a drinking water reminder function. The controller 4 activates the buzzer 31 and indicator light 32 at a preset drinking time to remind the user to drink water, meeting their needs. Additionally, the controller 4 is electrically connected to an external terminal, allowing users to control the heating component 2 and indicator component 3 for real-time heating. The terminal also provides prompts and lights to help locate the cup body 1 if the user forgets its placement, and allows them to view water temperature and charging information, greatly enhancing user convenience. This intelligent service caters to diverse user needs.

[0026] It should be noted that the wireless charging method used in this invention utilizes the principle of electromagnetic wave induction for charging. The wireless charging coil transmitting module 53 is provided on the cup holder 51 (i.e., the transmitting end), and the wireless charging coil receiving module 54 is provided on the cup body 1 (i.e., the receiving end). The wireless charging coil transmitting module 53 is connected to the external power supply 200 to generate electromagnetic signals, and the wireless charging coil receiving module 54 can sense the electromagnetic signals from the transmitting end, thereby generating current to charge the rechargeable battery 52.

[0027] It should also be noted that in this invention, the non-contact temperature sensor 21 is used for temperature detection. Based on its non-contact temperature measurement characteristics, it can maintain normal temperature measurement function even when the liquid level in the cup body 11 drops to a lower level, thus avoiding temperature measurement failure.

[0028] It should also be noted that in this invention, the bottom of the cup lid 12 is provided with a first positive and negative terminal interface, which is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery 52. ​​The upper part of the cup body 11 is provided with a second positive and negative terminal interface corresponding to the first positive and negative terminal interface, which is electrically connected to the heating element 22. Thus, when the cup lid 12 is placed on the cup body 11, the first positive and negative terminal interface and the second positive and negative terminal interface abut against each other, enabling the rechargeable battery 52 to supply power to the heating element 22 for heating. When the cup lid 12 is separated from the cup body 11 or is not properly closed, the first positive and negative terminal interface and the second positive and negative terminal interface separate, the heating element 22 is de-energized, and heating is automatically interrupted. This mechanism is a special design based on user safety considerations, used to prevent the liquid inside the cup body 11 from heating to a high temperature when the cup lid 12 is not properly closed, thereby avoiding the liquid inside the cup body 11 from spilling and scalding the user in the event of accidental tipping, and improving user safety. In addition, it can also meet the user's need to cool the liquid inside the cup body 11 for convenient and quick drinking or drinking cold drinks.

[0029] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, the display lamp 32 is an RGB lamp, and the controller 4 can also control the color change of the display lamp 32 when it is turned on.

The controller 4 is electrically connected to the positioning module 6 to control the working state of the buzzer 31 and the indicator light 32 based on the positioning information from the positioning module 6. In this way, not only can the real-time location of the cup 1 be obtained through the positioning module 6, and the buzzer 31 and indicator light 32 facilitate the user's search; simultaneously, when the external terminal is a wearable device such as a mobile phone, wristband, or watch, based on the positioning information from the positioning module 6, the controller 4 determines in real-time whether the real-time distance between the cup 1 and the external terminal is greater than a preset distance. If the real-time distance is greater than the preset distance, the controller activates the buzzer 31 and indicator light 32 to remind the user and prevent the cup 1 from being forgotten or lost.

[0032] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the positioning module 6 is model HT1818Z3G5L.

[0033] For details, please refer to Figure 1The outer wall of the cup lid 12 is equipped with a display screen 7, and the controller 4 is electrically connected to the display screen 7. Thus, after the controller 4 receives the water temperature information detected by the temperature detector, it can transmit it to the display screen 7 for display, making it convenient for the user to view. Of course, the display screen 7 can also display the remaining power of the rechargeable battery 52 through the controller 4, allowing the user to charge it in a timely manner.

The control module is electrically connected to the non-contact temperature sensor 21, the heating element 22, the buzzer 31, the indicator light 32, the drive circuit, the judgment module, the storage module, the sending module, the receiving module, and the external terminal.

[0036] It should be noted that when the judgment module determines that the input power of the wireless charging coil receiving module 54 is greater than the preset power, the control module controls the wireless charging coil receiving module 54 to adjust the power input.

[0037] Furthermore, the controller 4 includes a WIFI module and a Bluetooth module, which are used for communication with the external terminal. The control module is electrically connected to the WIFI module and the Bluetooth module. Thus, through the WIFI module and the Bluetooth module, intelligent interaction between the smart thermos cup 100 and the external terminal is realized, greatly facilitating user operation and meeting various user needs.

[0038] Furthermore, the controller 4 is an MCU controller 4. By writing a program onto the MCU controller 4, various intelligent functions of the smart thermos cup 100 can be realized when the MCU controller 4 reads and runs the program.

[0039] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the MCU controller 4 is model ESP32-WROOM-32, which has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth functions and is easy to control and manage.
