DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purpose, principle and structure of the present invention more clear, it is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a barrier-free smart water cup cover, comprising an upper cover 1, a lower cover 2 and a cup body 18.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] See also Figures 2 to 7 .

[0028] The top surface of the upper cover 1 is a removable top cover 1-1, which is connected to the upper cover 1 via a clamp 1-2. A clamp 3 is also provided inside the upper cover 1, with a protrusion on its side that mates with a groove in the upper cover 1. A gap exists between the upper cover 1 and the clamp 3. Within this gap, from top to bottom, are located: a battery 10, a PCB board 7, a motor 11 mounted on the PCB board 7, a microphone 12 mounted on the PCB board 7, a charging port 13 mounted on the PCB board 7, a sensor 8 mounted on the PCB board 7, and a gravity sensor 9 mounted on the PCB board 7. The battery 10, motor 11, microphone 12, charging port 13, sensor 8, and gravity sensor 9 are electrically connected via the PCB board 7. The charging port 13 allows charging of the battery 10. Both the upper cover 1 and the clamp 3 have through-holes of the same size as the charging port opening. A rubber plug is also provided on the upper cover 1 to block the through-hole from dust and water. The motor 11 has a vibration function. The microphone 12 has voice recognition and voice broadcast functions. The sensor 8 includes infrared temperature measurement and infrared distance measurement functions. The gravity sensor 9 can detect the motion state of an object through gravity changes.

[0029] The middle part of the clamp 3 is provided with a downward concave structure, and a channel is opened in the middle of the concave structure. The channel is connected to the cavity of the cup body 18, and the channel on the clamp 3 extends upward to form a step structure. A connector 4 is provided in the channel at the lower end of the clamp 3. A block 5 is provided at the upper end of the connector 4 to form a limit block with the step structure of the extended section of the channel of the clamp 3. A sealing ring 4-1 is provided at the lower end of the connector 4 to achieve an interference fit with the channel of the clamp 3, thereby sealing and blocking the moisture in the cavity of the cup body 18 and the gap between the clamp 3 and the upper cover 1. The connector 4 is also provided with a number of through holes that pass through from top to bottom, and a transparent window 6 made of transparent material and a plug structure is provided in the through hole. The sensor 8 is arranged directly above the transparent window 6. By transmitting infrared light through the transparent window 6, it can not only detect the temperature and liquid level of the liquid in the cavity of the cup body 19, but also achieve sealing and waterproofing of components.

[0030] The lower cover 2 is provided with a pressing panel 2-1. The pressing panel 2-1 is a plate-like object made of elastic material and is fixedly connected to the lower cover 2 via a support foot provided at the bottom. The pressing panel 2-1 is provided with a second clip 17. One end of the clip 3 is provided with a first clip 16. The first clip 16 and the second clip 17 can engage with each other. The clip 3 and the lower cover 2 are pinned together by a pin 14 and a torsion spring 15. The clip 3 and the lower cover 2 can rotate freely on the pin 14. The two torsion arms of the torsion spring 15 respectively press against the clip 3 and the lower cover 2, so that the clip 3 always has a force to lift it away from the lower cover 2. Because the clip 3 is fixedly connected to the upper cover 1. Pressing down on the upper cover 1 engages and locks the first latch 16 of the latch 3 with the second latch 17 of the lower cover 2. Specifically, the first latch 16 and the second latch 17 are triangular protrusions with an inclined surface on one side and a right angle on the other. When the two latches approach each other, the inclined surfaces press against each other, and the elastic pressing panel 2-1 is slightly deformed under the force of the pressure. Under the action of the deformation, the two latches can engage with each other along the inclined surface until they reach the right angle surface. The protrusion structures of the two latches fall into the right angle surface, forming a blocking limit. At this time, because the torsion spring 15 exerts a force on the other side to lift the upper cover 1 upward, the latches can always be tightly engaged under the action of the spring pre-tension. By pressing the elastic pressing panel 2-1 to cause it to deform, the right angle surfaces of the latches can be separated again, the pre-tension of the torsion spring 15 is released, and the upper cover 1 is lifted.

[0031] The lower end outer surface of the lower cover 2 is further provided with an external thread, and the inner surface of the upper end opening of the cup body 18 is provided with an internal thread, and the internal and external threads cooperate to achieve a tight seal between the lower cover 2 and the cup body 18. A flexible body is provided on the lower end surface of the clamp 3. The flexible body and the upper end opening of the lower cover 2 are squeezed together by the joint action of the buckle and the torsion spring 15 to achieve an interference fit under compression, thereby achieving a seal at the joint between the lower cover 2 and the clamp 3.

[0032] For specific operations, see Figure 8 .

[0033] After charging is completed at the charging port 13, the cup lid is in standby mode with the power on. When the user shouts out a voice, the microphone 12 can collect the user's voice command, and through the PCB board and related chips for processing (the chip can be set as needed), the water cup information required by the user is sent to the microphone 12 and played to the user. When the gravity sensor 9 detects a change in the motion state of the water cup, that is, when it detects that the user is pouring water into the water cup, it automatically sends a command to the sensor 8. The sensor 8 compares and judges the temperature detected at the last moment. If the water temperature is higher than the set safety threshold, it outputs a command to the microphone 12, emits an alarm prompt sound of "water temperature is too high", and cooperates with the motor 11 to vibrate to prompt. The microphone 12 can also accept the user's command to query the location of the water cup, play a prompt sound and control the motor 11 to vibrate, thereby reminding the user of the location of the water cup.

[0034] The above description is only a specific implementation method of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by this utility model, can make equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solutions and new concepts of this utility model, which should be covered by the protection scope of this utility model.
