Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water cup technology, specifically a water cup that can be unlocked by fingerprint. Background Technology

[0002] To prevent children and other users from being subjected to school pranks or bullying, and to avoid cross-infection caused by accidental contact with the water bottle, traditional water bottles cannot effectively avoid these problems. Therefore, fingerprint-unlockable water bottles are needed to improve the user experience. However, existing fingerprint-unlockable water bottles still have certain shortcomings in their use.

[0003] As proposed in application number CN202221647169.2, a flip-top locking mechanism and a cup are described. The flip-top locking mechanism includes a cup lid, a flip-top, and a locking assembly. The cup lid is used to attach a straw. The cup lid includes an upper shell and a lower shell, which together form a receiving cavity. The flip-top is hinged to the upper shell and flips relative to it. The flip-top has a groove for receiving the end of the straw. The flip-top has a first latch that passes through the upper shell and extends into the receiving cavity. The locking assembly is housed in the receiving cavity. In actual use, when the flip-top locking mechanism is installed on the top of the cup, it can only unlock and securely close the flip-top using fingerprint. However, there is no locking structure between the cup lid and the cup, so the cup lid can still be removed at will, which reduces the security of use. If the cup lid and the cup are integrated, it is inconvenient to add or clean the inside of the cup.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a fingerprint-unlockable water cup to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a fingerprint-unlockable water cup, including a cup body 1, an inner cup lid 2 threadedly connected to the top of the cup body 1, a drinking spout 3 installed in the middle of the inner cup lid 2, an outer cup lid 4 fixedly installed on the outer ring of the drinking spout 3 and the outer ring of the inner cup lid 2, a hinge seat 5 fixedly connected to the rear side of the outer cup lid 4, and a flip cover 6 rotatably connected to one end of the hinge seat 5.

[0031] The design of the above structure allows the flip cover 6 to be flipped on top of the outer cup cover 4 via the hinge seat 5, which is beneficial for drinking water from the inside of the cup body 1 through the drinking spout 3 when it is open, and at the same time, it is beneficial for covering and sealing the drinking spout 3 when it is closed, preventing dust and debris from entering the inside of the cup body 1, thus improving the usability.

[0032] A fingerprint recognition mechanism is installed on the front side of the outer cup cover 4. The fingerprint recognition mechanism includes a front mounting base 7 fixedly installed on the front side of the outer cup cover 4, an outer protective plate 8 is inlaid on the inner side of the front mounting base 7, and a fingerprint recognition module 9 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the outer protective plate 8.

[0033] The above-described structure design allows the outer protective plate 8 to effectively protect the fingerprint recognition module 9 when installed inside the front mounting base 7. The fingerprint recognition module 9 can effectively recognize the user's fingerprint, which is beneficial for opening the flip cover 6 in conjunction with the active locking mechanism when recognition is successful, and for closing and positioning the flip cover 6 in conjunction with the active locking mechanism when recognition fails. This effectively prevents unauthorized access and improves the security and intelligence of the device.

[0034] The outer cup lid 4 is equipped with a movable latching mechanism. The movable latching mechanism includes a receiving cavity 10 fixedly installed inside the outer cup lid 4. A movable latch 11 is slidably installed inside the receiving cavity 10. A first spring 12 is connected between the movable latch 11 and the receiving cavity 10. The movable latch 11 and the receiving cavity 10 form a telescopic structure through the first spring 12. A servo motor 13 is also installed inside the receiving cavity 10.

[0035] The design of the above structure enables the servo motor 13 to drive the eccentric wheel at the shaft end to rotate, thereby driving the movable bracket 11 to retract inside the receiving cavity 10, thereby releasing the engagement between the movable bracket 11 and the buckle 14, so that the flip cover 6 can be opened at this time. When the servo motor 13 drives the eccentric wheel at the shaft end to reset, the first spring 12 can push the movable bracket 11 to reset synchronously inside the receiving cavity 10, so that the movable bracket 11 can engage with the buckle 14, thereby achieving the closed positioning of the flip cover 6.

[0036] A rotating locking mechanism is connected between the inner cup lid 2 and the outer cup lid 4 and the cup body 1. The rotating locking mechanism includes a limiting tube 15 fixedly installed on the right side of the inner cup lid 2, a lifting button 16 slidingly passing through the right side of the outer cup lid 4, a locking rod 17 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting button 16, the locking rod 17 and the limiting tube 15 slidingly connected through each other, a second spring 18 is sleeved on the outer ring of the locking rod 17 between the lifting button 16 and the limiting tube 15, the locking rod 17 and the lifting button 16 form a telescopic structure with the limiting tube 15 through the second spring 18, a fixing ring 19 is fixedly installed on the top of the cup body 1, a locking groove 20 is opened inside the right side of the fixing ring 19, and the bottom end of the locking rod 17 is movably engaged with the fixing ring 19 through the locking groove 20.

[0037] The design of the above structure allows the flip cover 6 to press the lifting button 16 when it is closed. This causes the lifting button 16 to lower the locking rod 17 inside the limiting tube 15, and the bottom end of the locking rod 17 to engage with the locking groove 20. This helps prevent the inner cup cover 2 and the outer cup cover 4 from separating from the cup body 1 when the flip cover 6 is closed. When the flip cover 6 is opened, the pressure on the lifting button 16 is released, and the second spring 18 pushes the lifting button 16 and the locking rod 17 to reset. At this time, the bottom end of the locking rod 17 is released from the locking groove 20, which helps to separate the inner cup cover 2 and the outer cup cover 4 from the cup body 1 when the flip cover 6 is opened.

[0038] This completes a series of tasks. The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0039] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
