Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a fingerprint cup, and more particularly to a fingerprint cup with a locking component. Background Technology

[0002] In the current technological landscape, fingerprint cups, as personal items incorporating biometric technology, have gradually gained market favor. These products enhance user security and convenience through fingerprint recognition, such as in pop-up insulated cups, effectively preventing unauthorized users from drinking from the wrong cup. However, existing fingerprint cups have certain limitations in their structural design. While the pop-up lid can be opened using fingerprint recognition to prevent mismatched fingerprints from leading to incorrect use, its design focuses on preventing unauthorized opening of the lid, but it doesn't effectively prevent unauthorized users from unscrewing the entire lid. Therefore, existing fingerprint cups still have certain security and reliability limitations. Although some solutions are attempting to address this technical issue, existing technologies still suffer from overly complex structural designs and insufficient user-friendliness, hindering market promotion and application. Therefore, the market urgently needs a fingerprint cup with a more optimized structural design and higher security and user-friendliness. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a fingerprint cup with a locking component. The aim is to achieve the effect of unlocking the entire cup lid by fingerprint through the overall structural optimization design including the locking component, thereby further improving the security and reliability of the fingerprint cup and its user-friendly design, and facilitating its market promotion and application.

[0004] To address this, the present invention provides a fingerprint cup with a locking component, comprising: an upper cup cover, a lower cup cover, a locking component, a fingerprint switch component, and a cup body. The upper cup cover is connected to the lower cup cover, and the locking component and the fingerprint switch component are disposed within the lower cup cover. The lower cup cover is connected to the cup body via the locking component. The locking component includes a bracket, a cup cover connector, and an elastic locking member. The cup cover connector is fitted into the lower cup cover via the bracket. The outer wall of the cup cover connector has an engaging protrusion, and the inner wall of the cup cover connector is connected to the cup body. The elastic locking member is disposed in the bracket. When the upper cup cover is closed, the elastic locking member separates from the engaging protrusion of the cup cover connector. When the upper cup cover is open, the elastic locking member connects with the engaging protrusion of the cup cover connector. The top of the elastic locking member passes through the lower cup cover, and the position of the elastic locking member corresponds to the position of the upper cup cover.

[0005] A further improvement of this utility model is that the outer wall of the cup lid connector is provided with a ring of spaced-apart interlocking protrusions, the bottom of the elastic locking member is the interlocking end, and the gap between every two adjacent interlocking protrusions matches the interlocking end; when the upper cup lid covers the lower cup lid, the elastic locking member is pressed downward, and the interlocking end is located below the interlocking protrusions; when the upper cup lid is opened, the elastic locking member moves upward under the action of elastic force, and the interlocking end is located between two adjacent interlocking protrusions.

[0006] A further improvement of this utility model is that a locking guide groove is provided on the inner wall of the bracket, and the elastic locking member is disposed in the locking guide groove.

[0007] A further improvement of this utility model is that the locking member guide groove is provided with a limiting step for limiting the upward movement of the elastic locking member.

[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that the number of elastic locking members is two, and the two elastic locking members are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the cup lid connector.

[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that the inner wall of the cup lid connector is provided with a threaded structure, and the cup lid connector is connected to the cup body through the threaded structure.

[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that the fingerprint switch assembly includes a fingerprint module, a drive motor module, a pressure plate, a latch, and a torsion spring. The fingerprint module is disposed on the bracket and electrically connected to the drive motor module. The drive motor module is connected to the latch through the pressure plate. The latch is disposed in the latch groove of the bracket through the torsion spring. The pressure plate is disposed below the latch.

[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that the drive motor module includes a drive motor, a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear. The drive motor is disposed on one side of the bracket, and the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the first bevel gear. The first bevel gear is connected to the pressure plate through the second bevel gear.

[0012] A further improvement of this utility model is that the latch is movably disposed in the latch groove of the bracket by means of a torsion spring and a rotating shaft, the top of the latch is a barbed end, the bottom of the latch is a bent abutting end, and the bent abutting end is connected to the pressure plate.

[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that the fingerprint module and the elastic locking member are positioned offset from each other in the bracket.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: a complete cup lid is formed by an upper cup lid and a lower cup lid, and the locking component and the fingerprint switch component are disposed in the lower cup lid; the locking component includes a bracket, a cup lid connector, and an elastic locking component; the cup lid connector is sleeved in the lower cup lid through the bracket; the outer wall of the cup lid connector is provided with an engaging protrusion; the inner wall of the cup lid connector is connected to the cup body; the top of the elastic locking component passes through the lower cup lid, and the position of the elastic locking component is opposite to the position of the upper cup lid. The elastic locking member is disposed in the bracket. When the upper shell of the cup lid is closed, the elastic locking member moves downward under the pressure of the upper shell of the cup lid, causing the elastic locking member to separate from the engaging protrusion of the cup lid connector. At this time, even if the cup lid is rotated, the cup lid connector cannot be rotated, and the entire cup lid cannot be unscrewed. When the upper shell of the cup lid is opened, the elastic locking member moves upward under the action of elastic force, causing the elastic locking member to connect with the engaging protrusion of the cup lid connector. At this time, if the cup lid is rotated, the cup lid connector will be rotated, and the cup lid can be unscrewed.

[0015] Therefore, this utility model, through the overall structural optimization design including the locking component, achieves the effect that the entire cup lid can only be unscrewed after fingerprint unlocking, further improving the security and reliability of the fingerprint cup and its user-friendly design. The overall structure is more reasonable, efficient and reliable, making it easier for the market to promote and apply. Attached Figure Description

[0046] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, this embodiment provides a fingerprint cup with a locking component, including: an upper cup cover 1, a lower cup cover 2, a locking component 3, a fingerprint switch component 4, and a cup body 5. The upper cup cover 1 is connected to the lower cup cover 2. The locking component 3 and the fingerprint switch component 4 are disposed within the lower cup cover 2. The lower cup cover 2 is connected to the cup body 5 via the locking component 3. The locking component 3 includes a bracket 301, a cup cover connector 302, and an elastic locking component 303. The cup cover connector 302 is sleeved within the lower cup cover 2 via the bracket 301. The outer wall of 02 is provided with an engaging protrusion 3021, and the inner wall of the cup lid connector 302 is connected to the cup body 5; the elastic locking member 303 is disposed in the bracket 301. When the upper shell 1 of the cup lid is closed, the elastic locking member 303 is separated from the engaging protrusion 3021 of the cup lid connector 302; when the upper shell 1 of the cup lid is opened, the elastic locking member 303 is connected to the engaging protrusion 3021 of the cup lid connector 302; the top of the elastic locking member 303 passes through the lower shell 2 of the cup lid, and the position of the elastic locking member 303 corresponds to the position of the upper shell 1 of the cup lid.

[0048] In this embodiment of the fingerprint cup, a complete cup lid is formed by an upper cup shell 1 and a lower cup shell 2. The upper cup shell 1 preferably adopts a pop-up lid structure. The locking component 3 and the fingerprint switch component 4 are disposed within the lower cup shell 2. The fingerprint switch component 4 is used to unlock the cup using fingerprint technology; it can directly use the fingerprint module of an existing fingerprint cup, or it can be optimized based on an existing fingerprint module. The locking component 3 refers to a structural component used to achieve a locking function. The bracket 301 refers to a bracket structure used to install and fix other structures; the cup lid connector 302 refers to a structural component that provides a connection between the cup lid and the cup body 5; and the elastic locking component 303 refers to a locking structure with an elastic function.

[0049] Specifically, in the locking assembly 3 of this embodiment, the cup lid connector 302 is sleeved in the lower cup lid shell 2 through the bracket 301. The outer wall of the cup lid connector 302 is provided with an engagement protrusion 3021, and the inner wall of the cup lid connector 302 is connected to the cup body 5, for example, through a threaded structure. Preferably, the inner wall of the cup lid connector 302 in this embodiment is provided with a threaded structure, and the cup lid connector 302 is connected to the cup body 5 through the threaded structure. The top of the elastic locking member 303 passes through the lower cup lid shell 2, and the position of the elastic locking member 303 corresponds to the position of the upper cup lid shell 1; thus, when the upper cup lid shell 1 is closed, it can press down on the elastic locking member 303. The elastic locking member 303 preferably has a spring 3032 at the bottom to provide an elastic locking structure, also known as an engagement / meshing structure. The spring 3032 is pressed against the bottom of the elastic locking member 303.

[0050] In this embodiment, the elastic locking member 303 is disposed in the bracket 301, and the position of the elastic locking member 303 corresponds to the position of the upper shell 1 of the cup lid, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, when the upper shell 1 of the cup lid is closed, the elastic locking member 303 moves downward under the pressure of the upper shell 1 of the cup lid, causing the elastic locking member 303 to separate from the engaging protrusion 3021 of the cup lid connector 302. At this time, even if the cup lid is rotated, the cup lid connector 302 cannot be rotated, and the entire cup lid cannot be unscrewed; Figures 4 to 7 As shown, when the upper shell 1 of the cup lid is opened, the pressure of the upper shell 1 on the elastic locking member 303 is released. The elastic locking member 303 moves upward under the action of elastic force, so that the elastic locking member 303 is connected to the engagement protrusion 3021 of the cup lid connector 302. At this time, if the cup lid is rotated, the cup lid connector 302 will be rotated, and the cup lid can be unscrewed.

[0051] Therefore, this embodiment, through its optimized overall structural design including the locking component 3, achieves the effect that the entire cup lid can only be unscrewed after fingerprint unlocking, further improving the security, reliability, and user-friendly design of the fingerprint cup. Compared with existing technologies, the overall structure of this embodiment is more reasonable, efficient, and reliable, facilitating market promotion and application.

[0052] like Figure 11 As shown, the outer wall of the cup lid connector 302 in this embodiment is provided with a ring of spaced-apart engagement protrusions 3021. The bottom of the elastic locking member 303 is an engagement end 3031, and the gap between every two adjacent engagement protrusions 3021 matches the engagement end 3031. When the upper cup lid 1 covers the lower cup lid 2, the elastic locking member 303 is pressed downward, and the engagement end 3031 is located below the engagement protrusions 3021, thereby separating the engagement end 3031 from the engagement protrusions 3021. When the upper cup lid 1 is opened, the elastic locking member 303 moves upward under the action of elastic force, and the engagement end 3031 is located between two adjacent engagement protrusions 3021, thereby connecting the engagement end 3031 with the engagement protrusions 3021.

[0053] In this embodiment, a ring of spaced-apart interlocking protrusions 3021 is provided on the outer wall of the cup lid connector 302. This ensures that during the rotation process in the open state, regardless of the position of the elastic locking member 303 on the outside of the cup lid connector 302, the elastic locking member 303 can be smoothly engaged into the gap between two adjacent interlocking protrusions 3021.

[0054] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, a locking guide groove 3011 is provided on the inner wall of the bracket 301, and the elastic locking member 303 is disposed in the locking guide groove 3011, which facilitates the fixing and guiding of the elastic locking member 303. More preferably, as Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, the locking guide groove 3011 in this embodiment is provided with a limiting step 3012 for limiting the upward movement of the elastic locking member 303. The limiting step 3012 refers to a structure provided in the upper middle part of the elastic locking member 303 for limiting the upward movement of the elastic locking member 303, so as to prevent the elastic locking member 303 from having an excessively long ejection stroke when it moves upward under the action of elastic force.

[0055] like Figure 11As shown, in this embodiment, the number of elastic locking members 303 is preferably two, and the two elastic locking members 303 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the cup lid connector 302. Correspondingly, the number of locking member guide grooves 3011 is also two, so as to better realize the locking effect between the structures.

[0056] like Figures 8 to 10 as well as Figures 12 to 13 As shown, the fingerprint switch assembly 4 in this embodiment includes a fingerprint module 401, a drive motor module 402, a pressure plate 403, a latch 404, and a torsion spring 405. The fingerprint module 401 is disposed on the bracket 301 and electrically connected to the drive motor module 402, thereby enabling drive control of the drive motor module 402 through the fingerprint module 401. The drive motor module 402 is connected to the latch 404 through the pressure plate 403. The latch 404 is disposed in the latch groove 3013 of the bracket 301 through the torsion spring 405. The pressure plate 403 is disposed below the latch 404.

[0057] Preferred, such as Figure 10 As shown, the drive motor module 402 in this embodiment includes a drive motor 4021, a first bevel gear 4022, and a second bevel gear 4023. The drive motor 4021 is disposed on one side of the bracket 301. The output shaft of the drive motor 4021 is connected to the first bevel gear 4022. The first bevel gear 4022 is connected to the pressure plate 403 through the second bevel gear 4023. Thus, the drive motor module 402 can be used to drive and control the pressure plate 403.

[0058] like Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking tongue 404 is movably disposed in the locking tongue groove 3013 of the bracket 301 via a torsion spring 405 and a rotating shaft 406. The top of the locking tongue 404 is a barb end 4041, and the bottom of the locking tongue 404 is a bent abutment end 4042, which is connected to the pressure plate 403. Figure 8As shown, when the upper shell 1 of the cup lid is closed, under the action of the torsion spring 405 and the rotating shaft 406, the barbed end 4041 of the locking tongue 404 hooks onto the upper shell 1 of the cup lid; when a legitimate fingerprint is used to unlock the cup lid through the fingerprint module 401, the drive motor 4021 drives the pressure plate 403 through the first bevel gear 4022 and the second bevel gear 4023. The pressure plate 403 pushes the bent contact end 4042 of the locking tongue 404, thereby causing the barbed end 4041 to release the upper shell 1 of the cup lid to achieve unlocking and release the pressure on the elastic locking member 303. The overall structure is more reasonable and efficient.

[0059] Preferred, such as Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the fingerprint module 401 and the elastic locking member 303 are positioned offset from each other within the bracket 301. The fingerprint module 401 is preferably located on the outer side of the bracket 301 and at the front end of the thermos cup, facilitating the opening of the cup lid 1 after the user presses their fingerprint at the front. The elastic locking member 303 is preferably located on both sides of the inner wall of the bracket 301, thus making more efficient use of the limited space within the bracket 301 and improving the product's space utilization and structural design rationality.

[0060] The specific embodiments described above are preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the specific scope of this utility model. The scope of this utility model includes, but is not limited to, these specific embodiments. All equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape and structure of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
