Second, it does not have a water volume display function. When the outer end of the glass cup is covered with a non-transparent insulation cover or protective cover, the user will not be able to understand the amount of water in the cup without opening the cup cover, which is not conducive to improving the product experience (for example, the user knows in advance that there is not much water in the cup and can add water in advance, so that the cooled water can be drunk in time later). In addition, due to the advancement of industrial technology and the increasing competition between similar products of different manufacturers, it is particularly necessary to provide a glass cup device that can minimize the damage caused by falling from the table and the like to the ground and improve the market competitiveness of the product.

The control circuit includes resistors R14 and force-sensitive resistor RK1 connected by circuit board wiring, and one end of the resistor R14 is connected to one end of the force-sensitive resistor RK1. The first display circuit includes resistors R2, R3, R4, R5, transistor T1 and light-emitting diode VL1 connected through circuit board wiring, one end of the first resistor R2 is connected to one end of the second resistor R4 and one end of the third resistor R3, the other end of the second resistor R4 is connected to the base of the transistor T1, the collector of the transistor T1 is connected to the cathode of the light-emitting diode VL1, the anode of the light-emitting diode VL1 is connected to one end of the fourth resistor R5, and the other end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the emitter of the transistor T1.

One end of the first resistor R6 is connected to one end of the second resistor R8 and one end of the third resistor R7. The other end of the second resistor R8 is connected to the base of the transistor T2, the collector of the transistor T2 is connected to the cathode of the light-emitting diode VL2, the anode of the light-emitting diode VL2 is connected to one end of the fourth resistor R9, and the other end of the third resistor R7 is connected to the emitter of the transistor T2. The third display circuit includes resistors R10, R11, R12, R13, transistor T3 and light emitting diode VL3 connected by circuit board wiring. One end of the first resistor R10 is connected to one end of the second resistor R12 and one end of the third resistor R11.

In the three-way display circuit, the resistance value of the first resistor is inconsistent (the resistance values ​​of the resistors R2, R6 and R10 are 1K, 1.3K and 1.6K respectively).

[0020] Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, the two poles of the battery G1 and the two ends of the charging socket CZ are connected by wires, and are connected in series with the other end of the force-sensitive resistor RK at the power input end of the detection circuit and the emitter of the transistor T through the power switch S1.

The upper ends of the force-bearing surfaces of the force-sensitive resistors RK and RK1 are respectively glued with a rubber pad, and the rubber pads are respectively located outside the two openings in the middle of the upper end of the base. After the glass cup body is placed on the base, the gravity of its lower end compresses the rubber pad to act on the force-bearing surfaces of the force-sensitive resistors RK and RK1. The light-emitting surfaces of the three light-emitting diodes, the power switch handle, and the charging socket jack are respectively located outside the five openings at the front end of the base.

[0021] Figure 1 , 2As shown in , 3, the new type is based on the glass body 1, and has the drinking function of an ordinary glass. When the battery G1 is out of power, the external 12V power charger plug can be inserted into the charging socket CZ to charge the battery G1 (after opening the movable cover 101 of the glass body 1, you can drink water normally); the drinking function of the glass body 1 is an existing mature technology, and this application does not repeat it or protect the above scheme. The new base 2 can be conveniently sucked on any position on the desktop through the vacuum suction cup 3 (similar to the hook structure of the vacuum suction cup in the home kitchen). When not drinking water, the glass body can be sucked on the upper magnet 104 and the lower magnet 21 and placed on the base 2. In this way, since the glass body 1 is sucked on the base, the probability of the glass body 1 falling to the ground and breaking due to various reasons such as the shaking of the desktop is reduced. After turning on the power switch S1, the detection circuit is powered on and works. After the detection circuit is powered on, when the user does not place the glass body 1 on the base 2, the force-bearing surface of the force-sensitive resistor RK is not stressed, and its resistance value is relatively large, and the voltage division between it and the resistor R is large. In this way, the 12V DC power supply output by the battery G1 is divided between the force-sensitive resistor RK and the resistor R, and the resistor R1 reduces the voltage and limits the current to enter the base of the transistor T below 0.7V, and the transistor T will not be turned on. Then, the control circuit and the display circuit will not be powered on. When the user places the glass body 1 on the base 2, the force-bearing surface of the force-sensitive resistor RK is stressed, and its resistance value is relatively small, and the voltage division between it and the resistor R is small. In this way, the DC power supply output by the battery G1 is divided between the force-sensitive resistor RK and the resistor R, and the resistor R1 reduces the voltage and limits the current to enter the base of the transistor T above 0.7V, and the transistor T will turn on the collector to output a low level to enter the power input end of the control circuit and the display circuit. Then, the control circuit and the display circuit will be powered on. Through the above, after the glass body of the novel is placed on the base, the rear circuit will be powered and work, thus achieving the effects of automatic control and power saving.

[0022] Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, after the control circuit is powered on, when the glass body 1 is placed on the base 2, if there is more water in the glass body 1, the force on the force-bearing surface of the force-sensitive resistor RK1 is greater, its resistance value is relatively small, and the voltage division between it and the resistor R14 is small, so that the voltage signal entering the other end of the resistors R2, R6, and R10 is relatively low; if there is less water in the glass body 1, the force on the force-bearing surface of the force-sensitive resistor RK1 is smaller, its resistance value is relatively large, and the voltage division between it and the resistor R14 is large, so that the voltage signal entering the other end of the resistors R2, R6, and R10 is relatively high. In the three-way display circuit, when the amount of water in the glass body 1 is relatively large (higher than two-thirds), the resistance value of the force-sensitive resistor RK1 is relatively the lowest and the output voltage signal is relatively the lowest. The voltage signal is divided by resistors R2 and R3, and resistor R4 steps down the voltage and limits the current to enter the base of transistor T1, which is higher than 0.7V. The transistor T1 is turned on and the collector outputs a low level to enter the negative electrode of the light-emitting diode V1 (resistor R5 steps down the voltage and limits the current). The light-emitting diode V1 is electrically illuminated to remind the user that there is a lot of water in the glass body (the resistance values ​​of resistors R6 and R10 are greater than the resistance value of R2, the transistors T2 and T3 will not be turned on, and the light-emitting diodes V2 and V3 will not be electrically illuminated). When the water in the glass body 1 is less than two-thirds (higher than one-third), the resistance value of the force-sensitive resistor RK1 is relatively low and the output voltage signal is relatively low. The voltage signal is divided by resistors R6 and R7, and resistor R8 steps down the voltage and limits the current to enter the base of transistor T2, which is lower than 0.7V (when the water volume is more than two-thirds, transistor T2 will not be turned on). Transistor T2 is turned on and the collector outputs a low level to the negative electrode of light-emitting diode V2 (resistor R9 steps down the voltage and limits the current). Light-emitting diode V2 is electrically illuminated to remind the user that the water in the glass body is less than two-thirds (resistance value of resistor R10 is greater than resistance value of R6, transistor T3 will not be turned on, light-emitting diode V3 will not be electrically illuminated, and at the same time, light-emitting diode V1 will be electrically illuminated). When the water in the glass body 1 is less than one-third, the resistance value of the force-sensitive resistor RK1 is relatively high, and the output voltage signal is relatively high. The voltage signal is divided by resistors R10 and R11, and resistor R12 steps down and limits the current to enter the base of transistor T3, which is higher than 0.7V (when the water volume is more than one-third, transistor T3 will not be turned on), and transistor T3 is turned on. The collector outputs a low level and enters the negative electrode of the light-emitting diode V3 (resistor R11 steps down and limits the current), and the light-emitting diode V3 is electrically illuminated to remind the user that the water in the glass body is less than one-third (at the same time, light-emitting diodes V1 and V2 are electrically illuminated). Through the above, the new type can remind the user separately when the water volume in the glass body is different under the joint action of multiple display circuits, and the user can add water in time according to the needs, which improves the user's experience and the market competitiveness of the manufacturer's products. Figure 3Among them, the resistance values ​​of resistors R, R1, R14, R3, R4, R5, R7, R9, R9, R11, R12, and R13 are 800Ω, 4.7K, 800Ω, 500Ω, 4.7K, 1.8K, 500Ω, 4.7K, 1.8K, 500Ω, 4.8K, and 1.8K respectively; the battery G1 is a lithium battery of model 12V / 3Ah; the light-emitting diodes V1, V2, and V3 are red, green, and yellow light-emitting diodes respectively; the transistors T1, T2, T3, and T are NPN transistors of model 9013; the force-sensitive resistors RK and RK1 are resistive pressure sensors of model FSR402, which have two terminals (one connected to the power input and the other connected to the power output. The greater the pressure, the lower the voltage signal at the power output terminal, and vice versa).
