Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0030] Embodiment 1: At present, there are some smart water cup products on the market. The electronic components of this kind of water cup are usually designed in the cup cover or cup body. Although it can bring some intelligent functions to users, the installation space of the cup cover is small, and the cup body does not have a space suitable for installing electronic components, so a partition needs to be designed. Therefore, these two installation methods make the overall structure of the water cup complex, the cost is high, and it is not conducive to the user to intuitively feel the convenience brought by intelligence. Based on this, this embodiment provides a base for the water cup, please refer to Figure 3-5 As shown, it includes a support frame 111 and a connecting shell 112 installed on the support frame 111, a receiving cavity 11a for receiving the electronic module 120 is provided in the support frame 111, the connecting shell 112 covers the cavity opening of the receiving cavity 11a, and the bottom of the support frame 111 is recessed toward the receiving cavity 11a and is provided with a limiting groove 12a; further, the electronic module 120 includes a control mainboard 211, a collection component 212, a display module 213 and a battery 214; wherein the collection component 212 is installed in the limiting groove 12a, the control mainboard 211 and the battery 214 are both installed in the receiving cavity 11a, and the control mainboard 211 is installed on one side of the receiving cavity 11a, the battery 214 is installed on the other side of the receiving cavity 11a, and the display module 213 is arranged on the inner wall of the support frame 111.
