Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household electrical appliances, in particular to a water boiling bottle. Background Art

[0002] As people's water quality continues to improve, water dispensers are becoming more and more accepted and popular. However, the existing water dispensers have relatively single functions and can no longer meet people's needs.

[0003] Prior art CN104643925A discloses a water dispenser with infrared sensing lighting function, including a body, an LED lamp and an infrared sensor are installed on the body, a switch is arranged on one side of the body, a single chip microcomputer and a power supply circuit are arranged in the body, and an electronic meter is embedded in the front of the body. By setting the infrared sensing lighting function, in the dim light at night, when someone approaches the water dispenser, the LED lamp will light up to provide lighting for the person receiving water. When no one is there, the lamp is in a turned-off state to avoid wasting power. Another example of prior art CN107992185A discloses an intelligent electric kettle and a control method thereof, wherein the intelligent electric kettle includes a human body detection sensor , used to detect and collect human body sensing signals, at least for displaying the user interaction module, an intelligent control module connected to the kettle handle human body detection sensor and the kettle handle user interaction module respectively, and the kettle handle intelligent module is used to receive the human body sensing signal collected by the kettle handle human body detection sensor, and generate a display trigger signal according to the kettle handle human body sensing signal; the kettle handle intelligent control module is used to transmit the generated display trigger signal to the interaction module to trigger the kettle handle user interaction module to work. Therefore, when the human body touches the kettle handle, the display interface of the smart electric kettle can be awakened through the human body detection sensor and the kettle handle user interaction module on the kettle handle.

[0004] In the above-mentioned prior art CN104643925A, the infrared sensing water dispenser detects that the user is approaching the kettle when the human body is close to the water dispenser and the user is within the infrared sensing detection range, and the LED light is turned on according to the received detection signal. However, when the human body appears in the infrared sensing detection range and the LED light is turned on, the user may not need to use the water dispenser. Therefore, in the above-mentioned prior art CN107992185A, the infrared sensing water dispenser cannot accurately detect the true intention of the user when approaching the water dispenser, thereby increasing the operating cost of the water dispenser; and the above-mentioned smart electric kettle requires the user to actually touch the handle of the kettle, and the trigger signal is displayed through the human body sensing signal on the handle of the kettle to wake up the display interface of the electric kettle. When the surroundings are relatively dim and the user approaches the electric kettle, the human body detection sensor on the handle of the kettle cannot be accurately touched, which increases the difficulty of the user using the kettle in a dim environment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose to be achieved by the utility model is to provide a water bottle, which improves the accuracy of user intention detection and does not require the user to touch specific parts, thereby reducing resource waste and further improving the user's experience of using the water bottle in a dim environment.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A water boiling bottle comprises a body and an inner liner arranged on the body, an operation panel and a light-emitting element. The body is also provided with a conductive component and an induction circuit. The conductive component is electrically connected to the induction circuit. The induction circuit obtains a signal generated when a user approaches or touches the conductive component, so that the light-emitting element lights up the operation panel.

[0008] After adopting the above technical scheme, the utility model has the following advantages: when the user approaches or touches the conductive component, the conductive component generates a sensing signal of the user approaching or touching, and feeds back the generated sensing signal to the sensing circuit. After the sensing circuit receives the sensing signal of the user approaching or touching, the light-emitting element lights up and lights up the operation panel. After the operation panel lights up, the user operates the operation panel to collect water. Compared with the water dispenser illuminated by infrared induction, the conductive component has a smaller range for detecting the user approaching or touching the body, and the user needs to use limbs such as hands to approach or touch the conductive component, and the user's intention to use the water bottle is more real. It is real and obvious, which can avoid some accidental lighting of the operation panel and reduce energy consumption; at the same time, there is no specific restriction on the location of the conductive parts, as long as the user can easily approach or touch it, the degree of freedom is very high, which can greatly improve the fault tolerance of the user's limbs entering the detection range of the conductive parts, and does not require the user to find a specific part, reducing the difficulty of the user approaching the body and accurately touching the specific part in the dim light at night, reducing the possibility of safety accidents caused by accidental touch, improving the accuracy of the user's intention to detect the water when approaching the kettle, and reducing the difficulty of the user to accurately touch the specific part. The conductive parts are only used to generate induction signals, which are safe weak currents. There is no safety risk even if they are exposed, so users can touch them with confidence.

[0009] Furthermore, the sensing circuit includes an MCU for controlling the lighting of the light-emitting element, and the MCU has a touch signal pin, and the touch signal pin is electrically connected to the conductive component to obtain a signal generated by a user approaching or touching the conductive component.

[0010] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, generally boiled water products already have an MCU. By using the touch signal pin of the MCU to obtain the sensing signal, there is no need to add additional components and the cost of parts will not increase.

[0011] Furthermore, an operation circuit board is provided on the back of the operation panel, the sensing circuit is provided on the operation circuit board, the operation circuit board is provided with a touch button, the touch button includes a touch spring located between the operation panel and the operation circuit board, and the conductive component includes the touch spring.

[0012] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, a general kettle already has a touch button, and the conductive component is formed by reusing the existing touch spring, thereby expanding the function of the touch spring, without adding additional conductive components, and does not increase the cost of parts.

[0013] Furthermore, the conductive component is arranged around the outer peripheral edge of the operation panel to form a first decorative ring.

[0014] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the conductive component surrounds the outer edge of the operation panel, and the user can approach or touch the conductive component when approaching the operation panel from any direction, thereby increasing the accuracy and effectiveness of the signal generated by the conductive component when the user approaches. At the same time, a first decorative ring is formed on the edge of the operation panel, making the appearance of the body more beautiful.

[0015] Furthermore, a water gauge is provided on the side of the inner tank, the machine body includes a shell, the shell is provided with an observation window matching the water gauge, and the conductive component is arranged around the observation window and the water gauge to form a second decorative ring.

[0016] With the aforementioned technical solution, since the water gauge has a certain height dimension and is generally facing the user, the conductive components are distributed on the periphery of the water gauge with a large height range. The user can approach or touch the conductive components from any direction, which is convenient for the user to perform blurred operations. Moreover, due to the light transmittance, the light reflectivity of the water gauge is different from that of the shell, and different light and dark visual effects will be formed between the water gauge and the shell. In a dim light environment, it is easier for the user to approach or touch the conductive components. At the same time, the conductive components form a second decorative ring at the observation window to make the body more beautiful.

[0017] Furthermore, the machine body includes a shell, and the conductive component is arranged on the shell or the conductive component includes the shell.

[0018] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, since the shell serves as the appearance part of the kettle and has most of the surface of the kettle, the conductive component located on the shell is beneficial to increase the area of ​​the conductive component, thereby increasing the sensitivity of the conductive component when sensing the approach or contact of the user and improving the fault tolerance rate of fuzzy operations. Alternatively, the entire shell serves as a conductive component, further increasing the sensing area of ​​the conductive component, further improving the sensitivity of the conductive component when sensing the approach or contact of the user and improving the fault tolerance rate of fuzzy operations.

[0019] Furthermore, an upper cover is provided on the top of the machine body, the upper cover includes an outer cover body, and the conductive component is provided on the outer cover body or the conductive component includes the outer cover body.

[0020] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the outer cover body is also the appearance part of the kettle and also has a large outer surface. The conductive component is arranged on the outer cover body or the conductive component includes the outer cover body, which can also increase the area of ​​the conductive component, thereby increasing the sensitivity of the conductive component to generate a corresponding signal when the user approaches or touches it and improving the fault tolerance of fuzzy operations. Since the outer cover body is located at the top of the kettle, the conductive component is not easily interfered with or blocked by other structures, and is not easily affected when the user approaches or touches it.

[0021] Furthermore, the conductive component is made of a conductor.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the conductive part is made of a conductor. Since the conductor has a lower resistivity, the sensitivity of the conductive part to the human body when the user approaches or touches it is improved. The conductor is a part with a fixed shape. The structural strength of the conductor is high and has a long service life.

[0023] Furthermore, the conductive component is a metal sheet or an induction coil.

[0024] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, since the metal sheet is thin as a whole, the conductive components made of the metal sheet occupy less space during installation, which is convenient for the installation of the conductive components and makes the appearance of the body more beautiful. The induction coil can be hidden, thereby improving the stability of the induction of the conductive components when the user approaches or touches them.

[0025] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, conductive paint is sprayed on the surface of the insulator to form a conductive component. On the one hand, it is easy to form a conductive component with a larger area at a lower cost, while at the same time forming a certain protective effect on the insulator and improving the aesthetics of the body. The conductive paint is sprayed relatively evenly, which improves the stability of the conductive component in sensing the user's approach or contact. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] The following specific embodiments are used to describe the technical solution of the utility model in detail. The following specific embodiments can be combined or replaced with each other according to actual conditions, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0036] The basic structure of the water bottle can refer to the specification 0023 section and its appendix of the prior art CN207940658U. Figure 1 The utility model takes into account the problem of wasting resources when the light is on when the user is close to the kettle but does not receive water, or the problem of accidental touch when the user needs to touch a specific part of the kettle to receive water in a dim environment.

[0037] like Figure 1As shown, the utility model provides a water bottle, including a body 1 and an inner liner arranged on the body 1, an operation panel 11 and a light emitting element, wherein the operation panel 11 is arranged on the outer wall of the body 1, and the light emitting element is arranged on the body 1 and located between the operation panel 11 and the body 1; the inner liner can be fixedly installed on the body 1 to prevent the inner liner from spilling the boiling water when the body 1 is shaken, or the inner liner from vibrating and breaking due to instability when the body 1 is shaken; the inner liner can also be detachably installed on the body 1 to facilitate the subsequent replacement of the inner liner. The light emitting element can be a light emitting diode or a surface mount LED.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the present embodiment, in order to more accurately detect whether the user approaches or touches the body 1 for the purpose of collecting water, a conductive component 12 and a sensing circuit are further provided on the body 1, and the conductive component 12 is electrically connected to the sensing circuit. When the user approaches the conductive component 12 at a certain distance or touches the conductive component 12, the conductive component 12 generates a sensing signal of the user approaching or contacting, and the sensing circuit obtains the sensing signal generated by the conductive component 12, and controls the light-emitting element to emit light, thereby lighting up the operation panel 11. Specifically, the user approaches the conductive component 12 at a certain distance that is smaller than the distance detected by infrared sensing in the prior art CN104643925A, further reducing the possibility of waste of resources caused by the user approaching the body 1 but not for collecting water. At the same time, compared with the prior art CN107992185A, the user does not need to touch a specific position of the kettle to sense the user approaching, reducing the possibility that the user needs to specifically touch the sensing module on a specific part of the body 1 to light up the operation panel 11.

[0039] In another embodiment, in order to improve the efficiency of the conductive element detecting the user approaching or touching the body 1 and generating a sensing signal, the sensing circuit includes an MCU that controls the lighting of the light-emitting element, and the MCU has a touch signal pin, which is electrically connected to the conductive component 12. When the user approaches the conductive component 12 at a certain distance, the conductive component 12 can detect that the user is approaching the body 1. At the same time, the touch signal pin obtains the signal generated by the user approaching or touching the conductive component 12 through the electrical connection with the conductive component 12, and controls the light-emitting element to emit light through the MCU, thereby lighting up the operation panel 11, which is convenient for the user to approach or touch the body 1 to collect water. At the same time, the touch signal pin of the MCU is used to obtain the sensing signal, without adding additional components and without increasing the cost of parts.

[0040] In another embodiment, in order to improve the efficiency of the conductor generating signals when the user approaches or touches the body 1, an operation circuit board 13 is provided on the back of the operation panel 11, the sensing circuit is provided on the operation circuit board 13, and touch buttons are provided on the operation circuit board 13.

[0041] In this embodiment, the touch button can be a touch spring located between the operation panel 11 and the operation circuit board 13. At this time, the touch spring can be used as a conductive component 12. When the user approaches or touches the touch spring, a signal of the user approaching or touching is generated, and the sensing circuit receives the sensing signal generated by the touch spring, thereby improving the efficiency of the conductive component 12 in generating a signal when the user approaches or touches the body 1. By using the touch spring as the conductive component 12, there is no need to add additional components, and the cost of parts will not increase.

[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in another embodiment, the conductive component 12 is arranged around the outer edge of the operation panel 11 to form a first decorative ring, so that the user can approach or touch the conductive component 12 when approaching the operation panel 11 from any direction, thereby increasing the accuracy and effectiveness of the signal generated by the conductive component 12 when the user approaches. The formed first decorative ring makes the appearance of the body 1 more beautiful.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, in another embodiment, in order to facilitate observation of the remaining water amount in the inner tank, a water gauge 2 is provided on the side of the inner tank, and the water amount in the inner tank can be known by observing the water gauge 2.

[0044] In this embodiment, the body 1 includes a shell. In order to facilitate observation of the water level of the water gauge 2 from the outside of the body 1, an observation window 14 cooperating with the water gauge 2 is provided on the shell. The water gauge 2 can be directly observed through the observation window 14 to obtain the remaining water level in the inner tank.

[0045] In this embodiment, the conductive component 12 surrounds the observation window 14 and the water gauge 2 to form a second decorative ring. Without affecting the conductive component 12 detecting the generation of an induction signal when the user approaches or touches the body 1, the formed second decorative ring makes the appearance of the body 1 more beautiful. Since the water gauge generally faces the user, when the conductive component 12 surrounds the outer periphery of the water gauge 2, the user can approach or touch the conductive component 12 when approaching the water gauge 2 from any direction, which is convenient for the user to perform blurred operations. In addition, due to the light transmittance, the light reflectivity of the water gauge 2 is different from that of the shell, and different visual effects of light and dark are formed between the shell and the water gauge 2. In a dim light environment, it is easier for the user to approach or touch the conductive component 12.

[0046] In another embodiment, the body 1 includes a shell, and the conductive component 12 includes the shell. When the shell as a whole is the conductive component 12, it is beneficial to increase the area of ​​the conductive component 12. When the user approaches or touches the shell, due to the increase in the overall area of ​​the conductive component 12, the conductive component 12 generates a more sensitive induction signal when the user approaches or touches the body 1, thereby improving the response speed of the conductive component 12 when the user approaches. It can be understood that the conductive component 12 can also be arranged on the shell.

[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, in another embodiment, in order to facilitate the conductive component 12 to generate an induction signal when the user approaches or touches the shell, a top cover 15 is provided on the top of the body 1, and the top cover 15 includes an outer cover body, and the conductive component 12 is provided on the outer cover body. When the user approaches or touches the conductive component 12, or touches the outer cover body, the conductive component 12 generates a signal of the user approaching or touching. In another embodiment, the conductive component 12 can also be formed by the outer cover body. When the outer cover body also serves as the conductive component 12, the detection area of ​​the conductive component 12 when the user approaches or touches it is increased, so that the capacitance change of the conductive component 12 is increased, thereby improving the detection sensitivity of the conductive component 12.

[0048] Specifically, the structure of the conductive component 12 can be in various forms.

[0049] For example, in one embodiment, the conductive component 12 can be made of a conductor with a low resistivity, which improves the sensitivity of the conductive component 12 to sense the human body when the user approaches or touches it, and the conductor is a component with a fixed shape, and the structural strength of the conductor is high, and has a long service life. The conductor can have different forms. For example, the conductive component 12 can be a metal sheet. The conductive component 12 made of a metal sheet is easy to install because the thickness of the metal sheet is small. At the same time, it can also be used as an appearance part to be coated on the outer wall surface of the body 1, making the kettle more beautiful. For another example, the conductive component 12 can also be an induction coil, which can be installed in a hidden manner to improve the stability of the induction of the conductive component 12 when the user approaches or touches it.

[0050] In another embodiment, in order to reduce the use cost of the conductive component 12, the conductive component 12 can also be formed by spraying conductive paint on the surface of an insulator. By spraying the conductive paint on the surface of the insulator to form the conductive component 12, on the one hand, it is easy to form a conductive component 12 with a larger area at a lower cost, while forming a certain protection effect on the insulator and improving the aesthetics of the body. The conductive paint is sprayed relatively evenly, which improves the stability of the conductive component 12 sensing the user's approach or contact.

[0051] In addition to the above-mentioned preferred embodiments, the present invention also has other implementation modes. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work are within the scope of protection requested by the present invention.
