Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water cups, and in particular to a smart water cup cover. Background Art

[0002] A smart water cup has the basic functions of an ordinary water cup, such as holding water and keeping it warm, and incorporates a variety of intelligent functions. It can be equipped with a screen to display information such as water temperature or water volume or drinking reminders, providing users with personalized healthy drinking feedback.

[0003] Currently, most water cups do not have the function of reminding people to drink water at a fixed time. Many people always forget the time to drink water when they are busy or have poor memory. Existing smart water cups have built-in timers and sound reminders. When the set drinking reminder timer ends, a sound reminder will be issued.

[0004] The current sound reminder method is limited by the usage environment, especially in places where quietness needs to be maintained, such as conference rooms or libraries. The reminder sound can easily disturb people around, and it lacks the ability to flexibly switch reminder methods in different scenarios. The user experience is poor, which affects the effectiveness of the reminder function and the usage effect is poor, which needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to improve the problem that the smart water cup cannot switch the reminder mode, resulting in poor usage effect, this technical solution provides a smart water cup cover.

[0006] The purpose of this technical solution is achieved in this way:

[0007] A smart water cup cover comprises a cup cover body, the cup cover body comprising a cup cover base and a cup cover top hinged to the cup cover base, the cup cover top being capable of being snapped onto the cup cover base, a display unit being arranged in the cup cover top, and a sound unit and a light unit being also installed in the cup cover top;

[0008] The cup cover is provided with a control key 1 on the top for adjusting the information output by the display unit, the sound unit and the light unit. The cup cover is also provided with a control key 2 on the top.

[0009] When the cup cover is closed, the second control button contacts the corresponding end surface of the cup cover base, and the cup cover body enters a dual reminder mode of light and sound;

[0010] When the cup cover top is opened, the second control button is away from the corresponding end surface of the cup cover base, and the cup cover body enters a single reminder mode with only light.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, when a smart water cup lid is in normal use, the cup lid main body is connected to the upper end of the water cup body through the threaded structure of the cup lid seat, and the cup lid top is hinged to the rear side of the cup lid seat. It can be freely flipped along a limited angle to realize the closing or opening of the lid, which is convenient for dust protection and carrying when not in use; when the cup lid top is closed, through the set program, the control key pair applies instructions to the control system, and pressing the control key can control the power on or off of the entire system, set the required countdown time of the timer, and display the related time information (numbers, lighting length) on the display unit and the light unit. When the preset time is reached, the light unit flashes and the sound unit emits a sound prompt, which double reminds the user to drink water.

[0012] When the cup lid top is opened, the cup lid holder will automatically stop triggering control key 2. Control key 2 controls the sound unit to switch to the off state, quickly cutting off the operation of the sound unit to stop the sound prompt, avoiding unnecessary noise interference when not in use, achieving precise control, optimizing the user experience, and making the use effect better.

[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the cup cover top is provided with a mounting groove, and the light unit is installed in the mounting groove;

[0014] The lighting unit includes a light strip and a light-transmitting strip, and the light strip is formed on top of the light strip by secondary injection molding.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the mounting groove is opened on the outer wall of the cup lid top, the light strip is installed in the mounting groove, and light is transmitted outward through the opening of the mounting groove. The light-transmitting strip is secondary injection molded on the outside of the light strip, which has better sealing and increases the stability of the light strip.

[0016] The material is transparent and has good light transmittance, which disperses the light emitted by the light strip evenly, avoiding dazzling light spots, making the lighting effect softer and more uniform, and optimizing the lighting effect.

[0017] Preferably, the mounting groove has an inclined side wall, and the inclined direction of the inclined side wall makes the groove width of the mounting groove narrow toward the groove end, and the shape of the light-transmitting strip matches the mounting groove.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, based on the shape of the light-transmitting strip being adapted to the mounting groove, the width of the embedded end is larger and the width at the mounting groove opening is smaller, so that the shape of the light-transmitting strip is set to be trapezoidal, which limits its detachment from the mounting groove and improves stability.

[0019] Preferably, the light strip and the light-transmitting strip are arc-shaped.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, the curved light strip is adapted to the outline of the conventional cup lid, the length of the light strip is longer, and it can display more lighting information, allowing the light strip to be observed more clearly and intuitively.

[0021] Preferably, the cup cover top comprises an upper cover portion and a lower cover plate, the cup cover top has a mounting cavity, and the lower cover plate is arranged at the opening at the lower end of the mounting cavity;

[0022] The lower cover plate is provided with a mounting hole, in which an elastic plug is installed. The elastic plug has a groove on one side along the embedding direction, and an elastic portion is formed at the bottom of the groove corresponding to the elastic plug;

[0023] The second end of the control key is located in the groove, and the cup cover seat acts on the elastic part, so that the elastic part acts on the second control key.

[0024] Through the above technical solution, the top of the cup cover has an installation cavity for installation, and the lower end of the installation cavity can open an opening by removing the lower cover plate to facilitate installation. An elastic plug is installed in the installation hole opened by the lower cover plate, and the groove on one side of the elastic plug is for button 2 to be embedded. The elastic part protrudes relative to the elastic plug. When the cup cover top is closed, the cup cover seat will accurately act on the elastic part, and the deformation of the elastic part will act on the control key 2, thereby triggering its corresponding function. The elastic part has good elasticity and recovery ability. After the cup cover top is opened, the control key 2 pushes the elastic part to rebound and recover for subsequent use, thereby improving the protection effect of the control key 2.

[0025] Preferably, an annular groove is provided on the circumference of the elastic plug, and a convex ring portion is protruded from the inner wall of the mounting hole for embedding into the annular groove to fix the elastic plug.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, the elastic plug is deformed through the mounting hole so that the position of the annular groove passing through the circumference of the elastic plug is aligned with the convex ring portion and then fitted, thereby achieving stable fixation of the elastic plug.

[0027] Preferably, the cup cover seat has a suction nozzle, the lower cover plate is formed with a clearance cavity for accommodating the suction nozzle, and a protective block is provided at the bottom of the clearance cavity for receiving the water outlet at the top of the suction nozzle;

[0028] An embedding groove is formed at the lower end of the upper cover portion around the opening of the installation cavity, and a sealing ring is installed in the embedding groove.

[0029] Through the above technical solution, the suction nozzle provided on the cup cover base is convenient for users to drink directly, which improves the convenience of drinking water, and the lower cover plate is formed with a clearance cavity matching the suction nozzle, which provides sufficient accommodation space for the suction nozzle. The protective block corresponds to the water outlet of the suction nozzle, limits water leakage from the water outlet when carrying, and improves the sealing.

[0030] The embedding groove is formed around the opening of the mounting cavity, and the sealing ring in the embedding groove fits tightly between the bottom of the embedding groove of the mounting cavity and the lower cover plate, preventing moisture or other liquids from seeping into the mounting cavity from the gap between the lower cover plate and the top of the cup cover and damaging the internal electronic components, thereby ensuring the sealing of the top of the cup cover.

[0031] Preferably, the cup cover seat has an air hole, and the lower cover plate is provided with an air plug at a position corresponding to the air hole.

[0032] Through the above technical solution, the air vents in the cup lid seat are used to allow the gas inside the cup to pass through, preventing the user from being affected by the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cup when drinking water, making it difficult for the user to drink water. Appropriate gas exchange is carried out through this small hole, maintaining a stable balance between the internal and external pressures, making the drinking process smoother.

[0033] Preferably, the cup cover seat has a resistance portion, and the resistance portion protrudes from the upper end surface of the cup cover seat at a position corresponding to the second control key.

[0034] Through the above technical solution, the triggering relationship between the control key 2 and the cup lid seat is realized through the interference part, whose position is exactly aligned with the control key 2 after the cup lid top cover is closed, and the protruding part can just interfere with the control key 2, so the control key 2 can receive sufficient pressing force.

[0035] Preferably, an information processor is installed in the top of the cup cover, and the display unit, light unit and sound unit are electrically connected to the information processor;

[0036] The control key 1 controls the corresponding display unit, lighting unit and sound unit respectively through the information processor to control the output signal;

[0037] The second control key is arranged on the branch circuit and is used to control the corresponding sound unit.

[0038] Through the above technical solution, the information processor is used as a control system, which is electrically connected to the display unit, lighting unit and sound unit. It is responsible for processing and coordinating the work of each unit. According to the preset program and user settings, it sends control signals to the display unit, lighting unit and sound unit respectively to achieve precise output control. The system can adjust the working mode and output effect of each unit according to usage requirements.

[0039] Compared with the existing technology, this technical solution has the following outstanding and beneficial technical effects:

[0040] 1. This technical solution sets a control key 1 and a control key 2 on the top of the cup lid. The control key 1 sets a reminder countdown through the control system, realizing a digital countdown on the display unit, a flashing light unit, and a sound prompt on the sound unit, thereby doubly reminding the user to drink water. The on and off status of the sound unit is controlled by the opening status of the cup lid top, thereby limiting noise interference, achieving precise control, and achieving better use effect.

[0041] 2. This technical solution uses injection molding to form a light-transmitting strip, which is made of a transparent material with good light transmittance. It evenly disperses the light emitted by the light strip to avoid dazzling light spots, making the lighting effect softer and more uniform, and optimizing the lighting effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The specific implementation of the technical solution is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] Example:

[0053] See also Figure 1 A smart water cup cover includes a cup cover body 1, which includes a cup cover seat 11 and a cup cover top 12. The cup cover top 12 is located above the cup cover seat 11. The rear side of the cup cover top 12 is hinged to the cup cover seat 11. The cup cover top 12 is rotated close to the cup cover seat 11 and can be buckled on the cup cover seat 11. The hinge position shown in this embodiment is provided with a torsion spring to realize the opening and popping of the cup cover top 12. A mechanical structure with a button is provided on its front side, which is unlocked by pressing. The cup cover pressing method of opening the cup cover is an existing technology and will not be described here.

[0054] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 The inner side wall of the lower end of the cup cover seat 11 has an internal thread structure, which is used to be threadedly connected to the upper end of the water cup and fixed. The cup cover top 12 has an installation cavity 25, which corresponds to the internal molding of the cup cover top 12. The cup cover top 12 includes an upper cover part 29 and a lower cover plate 26. The lower cover plate 26 is fixed to the opening of the installation cavity 25 at the lower end of the upper cover part 29. The lower cover plate 26 covers the opening and seals it. The lower cover plate 26 is removed to open the installation cavity 25 for installation.

[0055] The top 12 of the cup cover is provided with a display unit 2, a sound unit 3 and a light unit 4. All three units are fixed in the mounting cavity 25. The sound unit 3 is preferably a buzzer or a speaker. The light unit 4 includes a light strip 8 and a light-transmitting strip 10. The display unit 2 has a digital display area formed on the upper end wall of the cup cover top 12.

[0056] The cup cover top 12 is provided with a mounting groove 9, such as Figure 5 As shown, it is opened on the outer wall of the top of the cup cover 12, and has an arc shape. The shapes of the light strip 8 and the light-transmitting strip 10 are adapted to the mounting groove 9, and it has a certain light transmittance. One side wall of the mounting groove 9 is an inclined side wall. The inclination direction of the inclined side wall makes the width of the mounting groove 9 shrink toward the groove end. The light-transmitting strip 10 is molded in the mounting groove 9 by secondary injection molding, so that the shape is also gradually reduced. The light strip 8 is installed below the light-transmitting strip 10, so that the light-transmitting strip 10 seals and protects the light strip 8.

[0057] An information processor 7 is also installed in the installation cavity 25. In the embodiment shown, a battery is provided in the cup cover top 12. The battery supplies power, and the information processor 7 is electrically connected to the display unit 2, the sound unit 3 and the light unit 4 for control. The cup cover top 12 is provided with a control key 5, which is located on the rear side of the hinge of the cup cover top 12 and is associated with the information processor 7 to transmit control information. According to the set system program, by long pressing or short pressing the control key 5, the countdown time for turning on or off or setting a reminder is realized. When a countdown time is set, the display unit 2 displays the value, and the light area of the light strip 8 is proportional to the countdown time. The remaining time decreases, so that the light area of the light strip 8 gradually shortens along the length direction. Until the display unit 2 counts to zero, the sound unit 3 makes a sound and the light strip 8 flashes to remind. At this time, the cup cover top 12 is in a buckled state, and the cup cover body 1 is in a dual reminder mode of light and sound.

[0058] When the cup cover top 12 is opened, the sound unit 3 is in a closed state, and the cup cover body 1 enters a single reminder mode with only sound.

[0059] See also Figure 4 and Figure 8 The sound unit 3 is turned off specifically by providing a control key 2 6 on the top 12 of the cup cover, which is located on the side of the cup cover top 12 close to the cup cover seat 11 along the rotation direction. The lower cover plate 26 is provided with a mounting hole 14, which passes through the lower cover plate 26 and is located at a position corresponding to the control key 2 6. An elastic plug 15 is installed in the mounting hole 14, preferably made of rubber. A ring groove 18 is provided around the elastic plug 15. The inner wall of the mounting hole 14 protrudes with a convex ring portion 19 for embedding the ring groove 18 to fix the elastic plug 15, so that the elastic material is fixed.

[0060] The end surface of the elastic plug 15 near the mounting cavity 25 has a groove 16, and the bottom of the groove 16 is formed with an elastic portion 17 corresponding to the elastic plug 15. The control key 26 is embedded in the groove 16, and its end is close to the position of the elastic portion 17. Figure 5 As shown, the cup cover seat 11 has a resistance portion 13, which is located on the upper end surface of the cup cover seat 11. The control key 2 6 can be switched between open and closed. When the cup cover top 12 is closed, the resistance portion 13 acts on the elastic portion 17, and the elastic portion 17 is deformed to press the control key 2 6. The control key 2 6 is set on the branch circuit and is used to control the corresponding sound unit 3. The sound unit 3 is in normal working state. When the cup cover top 12 is opened, the control key 2 6 is restored, cutting off the circuit of the sound unit 3 and stopping it from working.

[0061] A embedding groove 27 is formed at the lower end of the upper cover portion 29 around the opening of the installation cavity 25, and a sealing ring 28 is installed in the embedding groove 27. When the lower cover plate 26 is fixedly connected, the sealing ring 28 is tightly pressed between the bottom of the embedding groove 27 and the lower cover plate 26 to reduce the gap when the lower cover plate 26 is installed and improve the sealing performance.

[0062] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 The cup cover seat 11 has an air hole 20, which passes through the upper end surface of the cup cover seat 11. A gas plug 21 is fixed to the lower end surface of the upper cover portion 29, and its position corresponds to the air hole 20, so that when the cup cover top 12 is closed, the gas plug 21 blocks the air hole 20.

[0063] The cup cover seat 11 has a suction nozzle portion 22, which is formed on the upper end surface of the cup cover seat 11. In this embodiment, a water outlet is provided on the top of the suction nozzle portion 22. The upper cover portion 29 is formed with a makeshift cavity 23 for accommodating the suction nozzle portion 22. A protective block 24 is provided at the bottom of the makeshift cavity 23 for sealing at the water outlet of the suction nozzle portion 22.

[0064] The specific working process of this program is as follows:

[0065] This technical solution hinges the cup lid top 12 on the back side of the cup lid base 11, and allows it to be freely flipped along a limited angle to close or open the lid. When the cup lid top 12 is closed, pressing the control key 1 5 controls the power on or off of the entire system. At the same time, it can apply instructions to the control system to set the countdown time of the timer. The digital time information is displayed on the display unit 2, and the light unit 4 gradually shortens the length of the lamp area according to the remaining time. When the preset time is reached, the light unit 4 flashes and the sound unit 3 emits a sound prompt, which double reminds the user to drink water; when the cup lid top 12 is opened, the cup lid base 11 will automatically stop triggering the control key 2 6, and the switch corresponding to the control key 2 6 is disconnected, so that the sound unit 3 is switched to the off state, so that the operation of the sound unit 3 is quickly cut off to stop the sound prompt, avoiding unnecessary noise interference when not in use, achieving precise control, optimizing the user experience, and making the use effect better.
